ER Doctor Secretly Thinks Of Self As Ward's George Clooney

KANSAS CITY, MO—Dr. Andrew Lassiter, a St. Luke’s Medical Center emergency-room physician, secretly regards himself as the hospital’s real-life equivalent to George Clooney’s character on the hit NBC show ER. “He’d never admit it, but Andrew clearly thinks he’s St. Luke’s answer to Dr. Doug Ross,” said triage nurse Paulette Wyndham. “He has this cocky swagger, and whenever women are around, he turns on what he seems to think is some kind of manly, roguish charm.” Wyndham added that, with his diminutive stature, beady eyes, and bald head, Lassiter is more like Mercy’s Dr. Romano.
