Emmett Carson is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a member and the doctor of the Saviors.
Pre-Apocalypse
Virginia
Emmett grew up in Virginia alongside his brother Harlan, where together they enrolled in Medical school where throughout their studies they gained a distinct education regarding medical methods and procedures. While Harlan became an obstetrician, Emmett became a pledged physician.
Post-Apocalypse
At some point in the apocalypse, Emmett and Harlan presumably took residence in a FEMA camp where they were then later evacuated to a safe-zone named the Hilltop Colony, upon where Emmett settled into the farming community where he became integrated with the fellow residents, most notably Gregory and Paul Rovia, and thus became a prominent member. It's possible he also served as one of the community's doctors.
Emmett was present at the time of the arrival of the Saviors, a notorious group of survivors who demanded half of the Hilltop's supplies in exchange for leaving the farming community unscathed. Though initially reluctant to comply the Saviors demonstrated their motives through publicly executing a 16-year-old resident Rory. Following this barbaric event, the colony entered into a period of dread and submission and thus were forced to comply under Negan's rule, were due to their limited resources and manpower they were unable to rebel against their savage oppressors.
At some point after this event, Emmett was forcefully separated from his brother and was taken away to the Sanctuary to serve as the Saviors' main doctor at their headquarters.

He changes his bandage and at one point Dwight puts Sherry's note in his desk to make him take the blame.
When the Saviors and workers surround the furnace, Negan turns and whacks Lucille against Carson's shoulder. He shows him the note from Sherry, which reads: "Goodbye. Honey". Dr. Carson accuses Dwight of lying, but he quickly folds and falsely confesses when Negan threatens him with the iron. He begs Negan to not iron his face and apologizes to him.
