Rob Griffith

"He is one of the best cardiothoracic surgeons in the country. And I say one of the best because I'm quoting U.S. News & World Report, but in my opinion, Dr. Rob Griffith is the best. He is incredibly... detail-oriented... meticulous, really. Sometimes to a degree that is hard to believe. He's a genius."

Rob "Griff" Griffith is a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Early life
At some point in his life, Rob married Vivian Katz and had a daughter named Sam. Later, with Sam as a passenger, Rob crashed his car while he was speeding, leading to Sam requiring heart surgery. Rob's personality changed after the accident and he grew more distant with his family. Rob's marriage with Vivian eventually ended in divorce.

"Pilot"
In 2021, after Rob's daughter Sam had chased and stopped a nervous patient named David Ferguson, she explained to him that his heart surgeon, Rob, was in her opinion, the best cardiothoracic surgeon. As Sam described Rob and his attention to detail, he had arrived outside the hospital and cleaned a smudge off of the back of his car.

Later, in surgery, Rob changed the method in which the procedure would occur, causing a disagreement with Sam due to the risks of Rob's altered method. After the surgery, Rob and Sam argued, with Sam stating that she would tell Mr. Ferguson's wife and Griff replying that she could tell her that he said, "You're welcome." Sam then began to tell Rob about her decision about her future when they were alerted to a ten-car pileup on I-94. Rob and Sam hurried to the lobby to treat a woman who was coding.

They walked past and man a woman, with the man asking Rob to treat his wife, who had a gash on her forehead. Rob quickly looked at her injury and told the man that she was fine. The husband angrily confronted Rob, drawing his attention away from another man standing suspiciously in the lobby. When Rob turned to face the husband, he was shot through the back. Rob fell to the ground, clutching his chest and the shooter was dragged to the floor. Rob then fell into a coma.

Six months later, in 2022, Rob awoke on the night that Sam had been set to give a speech about taking over Rob's position at the hospital.
