Meet Dr. Shoo. He doesn’t charge extra for his sunny bedside manner.

Want to know an obscure detail about Shoo that’s too random to put in his character bio but may never come up in the story? His father changed their family name from Xu to Shoo after moving to the U.S. from China to make it easier for Americans to read/pronounce. Sometimes weird stuff comes up when mapping out a character’s backstory — even the minor players.
