doug ross was raised by his mother, sarah, after his father, ray, abandoned their family. in season 1, ross revealed to a patient that he had a son, and he tells nurse wendy goldman that he doesn't know his son's name as he's never seen him. not much else is known about doug's past. despite his jumbled personal life, ross is a dedicated er pediatrician. he has always been committed to medicine and children and to helping no matter the rules or the consequences. during season 2, doug rescued a boy trapped in a flooding storm drain during a rainstorm. his heroic efforts were filmed on local television, making him a media star. this event helped him earn back his job at county, because his supervisor in pediatrics originally wasn't going to renew his fellowship due to his disrespect for authority.
