Christopher "Topher" Zia was the emergency room chief at San Antonio Memorial Hospital, until the end of Season 3.
Season 1[]
He starts appearing right at the beginning of season one.
Death[]
His death was announced in the second episode of season four (Off The Rails). Jordan announces Topher's death in a speech made to the staff at the hospital, after receiving a text from the hospital's legal department and over a SAT phone to TC:
"At 9:37 last night, Dr. Christopher Zia and his daughter Lynn were in a head on collision with a drunk driver on the Pacific Coast Highway. They were flown by chopper to San Francisco General. There were no survivors. "
In his honour, the close friends of Topher and other staff at the hospital installed a plaque, a clipboard with 'Topher's Corner' engraved into it, on the nurses station where he always used to stand.
