Bashir Hamed

Dr. Bashir "Bash" Hamed is a doctor with brilliant skills in emergency medicine. Bash fled his native Syria two years ago to come to Canada with his younger sister Amira.

Bash tried desperately to get a job at a hospital, but discovered it’s nearly impossible for foreign-trained doctors to establish themselves in a new country. However, against these odds Bash gets his second chance in the emergency department of Toronto’s York Memorial Hospital, where he must repeat his residency.

Personality
Thoughtful and deliberate, Bash chooses his words carefully. A man of action, if he can help he does. Guarded yet honest, he connects easily with patients and colleagues from all walks of life. He’s the kind of guy you share all your secrets with, only to realize you don’t know a single thing about him. He’s a hero and a force of nature but his talent and flaws come from the same place: though gifted with natural instincts, he acts impulsively and always puts himself second. Bash acts boldly, take risks, and sometimes spurns rules to save lives.
