Shambolic Dylan lived in picturesque chaos on a house boat with the love of his life - his dog, Dervla! He often got people's names wrong and happily made up stories about his personal life to misdirect people or to get a rise. Dylan was the ultimate cynic, but could occasionally demonstrate a soft side and a strong moral compass.
When it came to medicine, he always picked the unusual cases, rather than the big resus stuff, and he loved the Sherlock Holmes aspect to medicine. Dylan was a brilliant clinician but his abrupt and tactless manner won him few friends (although Zoe took to his acerbic sense of humour and quickly became the closest thing Dylan had to a friend in the ED) Dylan was extremely reluctant to engage with his patients as people rather than as a collection of symptoms. However, this detached attitude sometimes caused him problems.
