The Great Disappearance: What Became of Dr. Austin's Dad on The Resident?
Ah, Dr. AJ Austin. Brilliant surgeon, champion of patient care, and a man with a past more mysterious than a hospital bill after an insurance snafu. But one question has plagued fans since Dr. Yee Austin, AJ's adoptive father, vanished from Chastain Memorial Hospital faster than a T-bone steak disappears in front of Conrad Hawkins: Where in the world did Dr. Dad go?
Fear not, intrepid medical drama detectives! We're here to crack the case (or at least wildly speculate until the writers give us some answers).

Theories Wilder Than Mina Okafor's Surgical Techniques (Bless Her Heart)
- The Witness Protection Program: Did Dr. Yee accidentally stumble onto a nefarious hospital plot? Did he discover the cafeteria serves mystery meat even by cafeteria standards? Maybe he's living a new life in Montana, slinging hash browns under a fake name.
- The Bermuda Triangle of Dads: There's a Bermuda Triangle for ships, so why not one for dads on TV shows? Maybe Dr. Yee got sucked into a vortex triggered by excessive paperwork and ended up in a sitcom where the biggest drama is a burnt casserole.
- He Joined a Renegade Surgeon Club: Perhaps Dr. Yee grew tired of the hospital politics and decided to live life on the edge. Picture him, Robin Hood-style, performing surgery in back alleys with nothing but duct tape and a rusty scalpel.
The Sadder, But More Likely, Truth
While the above scenarios are infinitely more entertaining, the reality is probably less dramatic. There wasn't a big send-off for Dr. Yee. In fact, his passing is only briefly mentioned during the five-year time jump in season five. It seems Dr. Yee quietly shuffled off this mortal coil, leaving a void in AJ's life and a lingering feeling of "wait, what?" in the audience.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
But hey, maybe that's just the writers prepping us for a shocking return! Dr. Yee could emerge from the shadows with a cybernetic eye and a vendetta against Red Rock. Or maybe he just got really good at hiding from his hospital bills. Only time will tell.
