Dr. John Frost is a Resident in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. He is portrayed by Darren Barnet.

Background

John formerly worked at Jackson Monroe Hospital and transferred to Med to finish off his residency due to the former's closure. Before entering the medical field, he starred in a children's television show named "Nick of Time".

John's parents severely mismanaged his former TV star career and stole all the money he made, leading him to resent them.

Season 10

John continues his residency at Med, where he quickly proves to be a strong advocate for his minor patients. In one case, he bypasses a minor patient's parents to communicate directly with the child about the possible consequences of a risky surgery, believing it is his duty as a pediatrician. This action results in a physical confrontation with the child's father, and a discussion with his supervisor Dean Archer. When John was 17, he was groomed by his co-worker and maternal figure into having a sexual relationship.

Notes and Trivia

• After his co-workers found out about his past career as a TV star, some started affectionately calling him "Hollywood".
• The only time he ever cheated on a girlfriend was when he was 16. The girl was a famous pop star and wrote a song about it.
• Mitch Ripley initially believed Dr. John Frost was the only resident who was not "drowning" in med school debt due to his past career as a TV star. Dr. John Frost later reveals to him that his parents stole his earnings, effectively leaving him with no money for med school.
• It is heavily implied he was sexually abused/groomed by Ainsley Towne during his acting career as a Teenager.
• He doesn't like Avocados.
