Paul Nathan is a former medical student at County General who suffers from Parkinson's disease.
History[]
He was introduced in Season 9 in the episode "A Hopeless Wound" on his surgical rotation with Dr. Elizabeth Corday.
During his time on the show, Nathan is shown to have a good rapport with patients.
As his disease starts worsening, affecting his ability to work, Dr. Corday gives Nathan an offer to pass his surgical rotation as long as he never works with patients, but when Nathan refuses to accept it, Corday warns him that she'll fail him.
Nathan is last seen in the episode First Snowfall where Corday makes good on her promise to fail him on his surgical rotation.
