In the first season episode Boundaries, Casey inadvertently takes Dr. Bloom's Adderall, mistaking it for Ibuprofen. Under the influence of the Adderall, he mentions that he has served in Afghanistan.
As the first person at New Amsterdam to be aware of Dr. Bloom's Adderall addiction, he has covered for her, which includes correcting her prescriptions and mistakes in her paperwork but expressed his concerns that the mistakes were becoming more frequent.
Later on, he was both fired and hired back by Dr. Veronica Fuentes while she was co-medical director.
