While he is often referred to as Head of Internal Medicine, we regularly see him involved in all aspects of the hospital's operations - his previous experience in the army during the Korean War obviously gave him a large range of skills. He did once study for cardiac surgery, but abandoned that when his mentor in the field disappeared and was thought to have embezzled a significant sum of money. (It's all right, his murderer was uncovered many years later, while the hospital was doing some renovations.) Dr Sloan's love of performing magic tricks featured more prominently in early episodes, as did his penchant for roller blading around the hospital, and his love of jazz and tap dancing regularly gave Dick Van Dyke a chance to indulge himself in a bit of song and dance.
