Gregory Morin, M.D. — typically referred to simply as Morin — leads a team of diagnosticians as the Head of Diagnostic Medicine at the Seattle Memorial Hospital in Oregon. Morin has been described as a misanthrope, cynic, narcissist, and curmudgeon. Morin's unorthodox diagnostic approaches, radical therapeutic motives, and stalwart rationality have resulted in much conflict between him and his colleagues. Morin is also often perceived as lacking sympathy for his patients, a practice that allots him time to solve pathological enigmas.
