Gemma Larson

Gemma is a friend of Richard's who ended up in the hospital after an accident.

History
After a night of drinking, Gemma went home and tripped while carrying her high heeled shoes, which caused one to be impaled into her chest. She was so drunk that she went to sleep like that and in the morning, she made her way to the ER. In the ER, she caught the attention of Richard, who realized what had happened and was concerned for her. She brushed off his concerns and forced him to leave her room. Despite this, he continued to track her care. Maggie planned to do a pericardial window to remove the show, but when she was called away for an emergency, Richard did the surgery instead, despite knowing Gemma wouldn't want that. After her surgery, Richard went to Gemmed and told her what happened.

Friendships
Olive Warner was her friend and sponsor. When Ollie died, she struggled with her sobriety and ultimately relapse, which landed her in the hospital, where Richard shared his struggles with her and they commiserated over the loss of Ollie.
