Dr. Tom Wakefield

Dr. Tom Wakefield is an oncologist and Chief of Surgery for Richmond Trinity Hospital. He is a strong, competent doctor who avoids taking too many risks. He bristles when his judgment is called into question, especially when he's second-guessed by subordinates. He is close to Christina, given his role in treating her late husband's cancer, and the two have a professional but friendly rapport with one another. He also relies on her to serve as a buffer between himself and the staff.
