Ruth Bennet was in the hospital for a valve replacement, but was discovered to have appendicitis.

History[]

Ruth was in the hospital to have her valve replaced due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but she had stomach pains overnight. She was revealed to have appendicitis and because of her COPD, she'd need an open appendectomy, so her valve replacement was pushed back. Despite her surgeons forgetting how to do an appendectomy partway through, her surgery was completed successfully.

Notes and Trivia[]

  • She was 50 at the time of her hospitalization.
