Richard quotes

POSITION:
Chief of Surgery

STRENGTHS:
Intelligent; calm; level-headed; driven; caring

WEAKNESSES:
Carries lots of baggage over past indiscretions with Ellis Grey.

LIKES:
Fly-fishing; his career and being the hospital's top dog.

DISLIKES:
Alcohol (he's a recovered alcoholic); nurses striking; members of staff keeping secrets from him; sleeping in his office; sexually-charged interns.

FAMILY:
Richard's marriage to Adele has weathered all sorts of storms, from his affair with Ellis to his drinking problem. But it seemed their relationship wasn't as strong as Richard thought when Adele asked him to choose between her and his job. Not rushing into a decision, Richard took his time and seemingly lost his wife.

NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Had an affair with Meredith's mom, Dr. Ellis Grey. He eventually ended their relationship. Webber's marriage somehow survived, despite Adele's knowledge of his affair.

OTHER:
A mentor to his entire staff, Dr. Webber worked in New York for a number of years pioneering cutting edge surgery. He eventually returned to Seattle Grace, the hospital where, more than three decades ago, he was himself an intern.
