Dr. Hurst

Dr. Hurst is an attending psychiatrist at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.

History
After the plane crash, a traumatrized Cristina threw a vase at the interns who were talking about her outside the room. Upon hearing what happened, Dr. Hurst came to her room and tried to convince Bailey and Owen that she was a clear danger, violent and uncommunicative. Pointing at the broken window, Bailey pointed out she communicated, she just hadn't talked yet.

Hurst replied that there was nothing physically wrong with her, so she belonged up in psychiatry. Owen yelled that he was Cristina's husband and the Chief of Surgery, so Hurst shouldn't tell him where Cristina belongs. He walked off, but Hurst followed him and said that those were exactly the reason why Owen shouldn't be making the decision.

Career
Dr. Hurst is an attending psychiatrist at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. He seems to have been working there for quite some time, as he dared to butt heads with Owen over Cristina's case.

Notes and Trivia
