Greg Bevell was a patient who was admitted to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital with a large brain tumor.

History[]

Hospitalization[]

Greg came into the hospital with trouble breathing and April Kepner diagnosed a large skull base cordoma.

He'd had a prior surgery in which the surgeon broke the dura, which allowed the tumor to mushroom from its original site and required a heavy duty surgery to remove it. Derek proposed dividing Greg's jaw, pallet, and tongue in order to access the tumor. Greg was warned about the extent of the surgery and that recovery would be painful.

The surgery commenced with Mark dividing the tongue, jaw, and pallet, assisted by Callie. Once this was done, Derek was able to reach the tumor and successfully remove it. Both Richard and Owen declared that they had never seen a surgery do so much damage. Owen even said that explosives in Iraq had done less damage.

After waking up from the surgery, the pain overwhelmed Greg and his mother called Derek in a panic. Derek noted that the pain was a "healing pain" and was good in that it meant they had won the battle against the tumor. Greg appeared to take comfort from this revelation.
