Personality[]
Dr. Abrams has an abrasive, no-nonsense personality and way of communicating with his colleagues and patients. But mentioned in the season 1 episode Timing, Dr. Downey says that he liked Sam's bedside manner. He often criticizes the decisions of others as rash or based too much on emotion.
One of Sam's most famous quotes is, "This vent could be put to better use" when he breaks the news to Will and Jay in the episode When to Let Go that their father, Pat Halstead, is brain-dead. After he says this, Jay becomes agitated and Will has to hold him back.
Sam evaluates Natalie's neurological function when she wakes up with a traumatic brain injury sustained while being attacked in Will's car by Tim Burke. In a rare moment of affection, he tells her that he is happy that she is doing well. He proposes performing brain surgery on a young boy with an apparent tumor, but he is talked out of it by Ethan, who believes the abnormality is brought on by hypothyroidism and doesn't need surgery.
Sam is believed to have been in a plane crash upon returning from a conference in Honolulu. When a patient who is severely burned beyond recognition is brought into the hospital, his colleagues fear and assume that it is him. His wife Michelle, perceived by many as a "trophy wife" because of her young age and good looks, pushes to take Sam off of life support, citing that he would not want to live this way. The doctors delay the decision as long as possible, as they believe Michelle just wants to cash in on his life insurance.
Towards the end of the episode, the real Dr. Abrams returns to the hospital in casual Hawaiian attire, informing everyone that he had decided to stay in Hawaii a few more hours, and therefore he was not on the plane that crashed. The burned patient turns out to be a sales representative who was also at the conference he was at. He admonishes his colleagues for not having taken his presumed body off life support earlier, saying that Michelle was absolutely correct to convey that he would not want to be kept alive artificially. He also reveals that Michelle is not the "trophy wife" everyone assumes her to be, and that he is actually the "trophy husband", Michelle having become a millionaire through her dietary supplements company.
Michelle is brought in to the ED and Sam asked Hannah to have a look at her. She is complaining of a UTI. After running some tests, Hannah discovers that Michelle is pregnant. Sam comments that he's had a vasectomy and that it shouldn't be possible.
Sam assists Crockett Marcel with a risky surgery to reattach the skull of a 10-year-old boy who has been internally decapitated back to his spine. They eventually succeed with the help of OR 2.0.
