Dr Abe Wilson, Anaesthetist

Abraham Wilson is a 34-year-old anaesthetic consultant. He has been working at the children's hospital but is now doing much more work in the adult public system.

Abe is a confident man who is not in a steady relationship. He likes active sports, surfing, skiing and kite surfing and uses his excess cash to fund these hobbies. He is well read.

Abe is an only child brought up by his father, a GP. They are good friends.

Abe doesn't know why he isn't in a relationship. Women find him attractive and he genuinely respects them. He is a good anaesthetist, the more hectic things get, the calmer he becomes. In a crisis he is quietly commanding. He has a sense of entitlement and authority which is attractive.

Abe has an excellent bedside manner, more charming than Eve's. However sometimes he is too black and white. He has an ability to distance himself from upsetting events in a way that Eve can't.

At his best, Abe is noble, at his worst he is a bit arrogant.
