Profile

Ted is Sacred Heart Hospital’s lawyer; however he is apparently so inept that the only advice he gives is "kill a patient and you're sued;" although he has shown legal aptitude in some cases. Once referred to as the hospital's Sad Sack by Dr. Cox in "My Fishbowl", every insult can be seen to chip away at his little remaining self esteem. He is so accustomed to abuse that he reacts with surprise and disbelief when he receives even the slightest acknowledgement ("Oh good God! She knows [my name]. Am I awake?"). He is prone to panic attacks and is often seen sweating ("flop sweat"). The episode "My Faith in Humanity" implies Ted has never won a case.

Personality

Ted has considered suicide on countless occasions, even going so far as to stand on the edge of the hospital roof (at one point, he notes, doing so on a daily basis); on one occasion he jumped, but without injury, thanks to Janitor's collection of trash. Ted has described the only dream he ever has as "holding Kelso's head under the water until the last bubble goes... bloop." Kelso seems aware of how much Ted hates him, but knows that Ted doesn't have the guts to do anything about it. In the first season Ted claims that his wife and family (potentially indicating that he has children) left him due to the stresses of his job. This occurred roughly five years before the start of the first season (Ted has been divorced eight years as of season 3's "My Rule of Thumb"). In season 4 ("My New Game"), Ted says that his ex-wife is now with his brother, who is nine inches shorter than Ted but wears a toupee. He lived with his mother (sleeping in the same bed) until the bank foreclosed on his house in "My Transition". Ted claims to suffer from stress-induced dyslexia, calling Dr. Kelso "Dr. Oslek" on one occasion. For other uses, see Suicide (disambiguation). ...

Ted has a slightly dreary, moaning voice that reflects the nature of his existence. Once, in an attempt to help Janitor give the evil eye, he instead made what Janitor called "sad eye", then explained, "It's all I've got."

Ted is part of an a cappella group, with three other non-medical employees from around the hospital, called "The Worthless Peons" (played by The Blanks, the real-life band of Sam Lloyd). Ted also attends Korean Singles Night at a local church with Janitor, and is a fan of the show Gilmore Girls. His other interests include biking and competing in triathlons, often training with friend, and fellow loser, Dr. Doug Murphy. He once tried to do stomach crunches on the machine in his office, which broke, leaving him hanging upside down for more than 24 hours. This article is about the vocal technique. ...

He also has an extremely out of date cellular phone, and his office's telephone does not dial out of the hospital. He claims that when people attempt to put him into the middle of a situation, his throat closes.

He seemed to have a fixation with alligators during the sixth season. His email password is revealed in "My Perspective" to be "alligator3", and in "My Long Goodbye", when everyone is putting on a shadow puppet show depicting Pearl Harbor for Jordan, he makes a shadow puppet alligator, claiming that "battleships are so boring".

Since his wife divorced him, for his brother, his love life has been practically non-existent. In the episode "My Rule of Thumb", however, he befriends and makes love to a terminally ill woman who wants to lose her virginity before dying. According to the woman, he was a "stallion" in bed. However, Ted is apparently reproductively sterile. He states, "My guys swim in circles; I think it's the bike riding." This fact has not been expanded in any other episode.
