I actually used to like him. Until season eight, he was my favorite of the Mercy West transfers. But then he went sharply downhill.

Owen also uses violence to get what he wants (What Is It About Men) without even attempting non-violent conflict resolution. And after punching that patient, instead of apologizing, he aggravated the injury. He tried to claim autonomy over Cristina's body and when he found that he couldn't, he tried to shame her in front of all their friends and co-workers.
