* ShellShockedVeteran: As revealed in "Choices", Dr. Choi is haunted by the memory of a mother in Afghanistan who brought her already dead three year old daughter to him to be treated -- to the point that he's unable to sleep and he can't stop seeing the child's face.

* EnfantTerrible: Griffin, the ten year old {{Sociopath}} in 'Hearts' is responsible for breaking at least two bones in his younger brother's arm, and is the cause of a serious burn on his mother's hand (and that's just the stuff we know about). His declaration that he wants to be a doctor when he grows up - followed by his admission that the ''knives'' are the reason - leaves Dr. Charles looking as disturbed as we've ever seen him, and he strongly recommends that Griffin's parents remove Griffin from the home for the safety of their family. Despite clear evidence that their younger son, Bo, is terrified of his older brother, his parents refuse and it's clear that the situation is unlikely to have a happy ending.

--->'''Dr. Abrams''': Why am I putting in this bowl? Where's my good-for-nothing resident?\\

** In "Choices", Dr. Halstead steamrolls over Dr. Manning's objections and resuscitates an end-stage cancer patient with a DNR order, because he believes a new drug trial will be able to save her and that the patient will thank him later. It backfires when her family ends up suing the hospital and pressing charges against him for ignoring a legal medical order.
