Dr. Kevin Moretti was the former Chief of Emergency Medicine at County General in the 13th and 14th seasons following the departure of Dr. Kerry Weaver and the resignation of the position by Dr. Luka Kovač.
History[]
Dr. Moretti is introduced in the season 13 episode, Sea Change where he is moved from the hospital's intensive care unit to take charge of the emergency department.
His early appearances on the show provoke conflict with the ER staff, especially Abby Lockhart and Greg Pratt. Despite his brutally honest and abrasive personality, Moretti proves to be intelligent and quite adept when it comes to patient care.
In the 14th season episode, Blackout, Moretti and Abby have a one-night stand while under the influence of alcohol. He later gets a visit from his son, Brian, who is shown to be having issues at college and takes personal leave to help him. Although he intended his absence to be temporary, Dr. Donald Anspaugh announces that Moretti would not be returning to County and he is replaced by Dr. Skye Wexler as the appointed chef of staff.
Moretti returns in the 14th season finale where he apologizes to Abby and Luka separately for his role in their martial issues. Although Abby is shown to be nonplussed by Moretti's apology, Luka punches him in the face.
