Hudson, a neurosurgeon, was a widower who lived with his daughter, Kathy, and their housekeeper, Mrs. Grady. His work at Center Hospital involved use of his "strange and rather mysterious gift" to help patients psychologically.[3]

In 1955 a nationwide competition was held in TV Guide to find a young actor to play Dr. Hudson's protégé, Tim Watson, for several episodes. Those entering had to submit a photo and recording in which they read emotional dialogue. The winner was a young actor named Joe Walker.[3]
