Who is Freddy Robertson from Becoming a Doctor: A Journey of Initiation in Medical School and what is their importance?

Freddy Robertson is the name of an arrogant but ignorant intern with whom Konner was assigned to work and determined he didn't know what he was talking about. Robertson insisted Konner spend forty-five minutes sawing rings off a patient but then Konner asked the orthopedic staff and got them off in a minute. Robertson consistently decided against the good sense and expertise available on the trauma team. For example, a young man with a knife wound had severed a tendon that resident Steve Ray had expertise repairing. Freddy refused to ask him claiming he could repair it himself. An attractive young woman had a facial gash Ray's experience with "plastics" or plastic surgery made him proficient in handling but Freddy insisted again on doing it himself. In a third situation, Freddy insisted Konner anesthetize and stitch a minor wound that would heal with a band-aid.
