Gerry Harding (Novel canon)

Dr. Gerry Harding was Jurassic Park's vetarinarian. Whenever a dinosaur was sick, he would be the one treating it.

Jurassic Park Franchise
Gerry Harding had a large role in the first Jurassic Park novel. He only appeared briefly in the movie. In the game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis his role is filled by Ellie Sattler.

Novels
In the first book Gerry Harding is the Park's vetarinarian. He accepted this job from Hammond because dinosaurs were the only creatures for which there didn't exist any zoo guidlines, so he would be famous by making them. He had to take care for the creature's health and making sure they couldn't escape.

The endorsment team meets him in the Stegosaur South region where he is investicating a sick Stegosaurus. When the visitors leave Ellie Sattler stays behind to investicate the creature even more, Gerry offers to give her a lift to the Visitor Center. Grant and Ian Malcolm suspect him to have a crush on the beautiful Ellie.

When Malcolm is harmed by the Tyrannosaurus rex Harding has to treat him, because his background is closest to that of a physician on the island.

During the Velociraptor attack on the Visitor Center he opens the roof door to let Ellie in. But Ellie has already run away for the raptors. When Harding opens the door he is attacked by a raptor, but survives.

Movies
In the first Jurassic Park movie he was seen treating a Triceratops, which was suffering of a strange disease. He and Ellie are investigating the animal. Later he drove Ellie back to the Visitor Center in his Gas-powered Jeep. Then he disappears from the plot. He had probably left the island with the last boat to the mainland. Gerald R. Molen played Gerry and was also the producer of the film.

Games
