Richard Harrison is the head of the medical student course and a specialist in gastroenterology. He focused primary interest on his bias towards gastrointestinal tumors. Harrison would not consider the psychiatric condition of a patient, Charlotte, despite its interference with her physical problems. He denied her a psychiatric consultation for no apparent reason. Dr. Harrison subsequently evaluated Konner as "near excellent" and above average in psychological aspects of patient care.
