About
Drew had attended medical school ten years ago where he was at the top of the class. He left med school not with a fizzle but with a bang. He is now giving it a second go. His age makes him cynical and his decisions have made him anti-social. He has become Dr. Cox's favorite student to pester at Winston U.
After dropping out of school the first time, Drew has been in prison and lived alone in Alaska.
Relationships
Denise Mahoney
Drew and Denise began as sex-buddies, but are currently talking. They both like to keep to themselves, but J.D., Turk, and Dr. Kelso tried to get them to connect to each other and understand the human interaction is vital to survival. (Our Drunk Friend)
Doctor Cox
Drew is Doctor Cox's #1 Med Student and expects more of him than any other. Drew tried to stick up to Doctor Cox for the weaker medical students, later J.D. suggested to Doctor Cox he should take an interest in one of them. (Our First Day of School) Doctor Cox now expects Drew to wear a #1 sign at all times and even send him photos of Drew wearing it every ten minutes. (Our Drunk Friend)
Personality Profile
He tried med school before when he was 21 but couldn't handle the pressure. He went "nuclear" during this period which ended up him spending time in jail, which he described as being "cold". He also had relationships with gay, black, bald men there. Drew spent time in the Alaskan wilderness for a year and almost had no human contact, except for an Eskimo boy who sold him salmon jerky and painkillers. He wasn't very successful in previous relationships but now is beginning one with Denise Mahoney.
