Virginia Dixon, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a character on Grey's Anatomy. She is a cardiothoracic surgeon whom Richard Webber was trying to get to hire as his next head of cardiothoracic surgery after Erica Hahn departed from Seattle Grace Hospital.

Another characteristic of autism is specific and repetitive behaviors and interests; in this case, the heart is Virginia's special interest.
