Medical Notes

Ava

  • Diagnosis:
  • Treatment:

Ava finally remembered her life before the accident. She denied remembering anything, but Alex asked Derek to run tests. She later confessed that she had woken up a few days prior and remembered everything. She told Alex her name was Rebecca Pope.

Dale Winick

  • Diagnosis:
    • Frostbite
    • Infection
  • Treatment:
    • Cefazolin
    • Bilateral hand amputation

Dale, 32, was brought into the hospital with injuries related to being stranded while hiking. He had frostbite on his fingers, which they treated with warm water, but unfortunately, both of his hands had to be amputated.

Andy Meltzer

  • Diagnosis:
    • Broken ribs
    • Antero-lateral flail chest
    • Frostbite
  • Treatment:
    • Surgical stabilization
    • Osteosyntheses

Andy was another of the climbers brought into the hospital. He had several broken ribs which was compromising his breathing. He needed surgical stabilization, which Callie performed.

Jack Vaughan

  • Diagnosis:
    • Bone fragments in the spinal cord
    • Frostbite
  • Treatment:
    • Internal fixation
    • Laminotomy

Jack was another of the climbers. He couldn't feel his legs, so Derek suspected a spinal injury. Later, he was able to feel Derek touching his feet, but Derek said they'd need an MRI to know the full extent of his injuries. He had bone fragments in his spine, so Callie performed an internal fixation.

Rina

  • Diagnosis:
    • Pregnancy
    • Heartburn
  • Treatment:
    • Pre-natal care
    • Antacid

Rina was Joe and Walter's potential birth mom. They brought her to Addison for a pre-natal exam. An ultrasound revealed that she was carrying twins, which she didn't know. She also had serious heartburn, for which Addison prescribed an antacid. Later, she came into the bar with severe pain in her chest and then collapsed, so she was taken to the ER.

Adele Webber

  • Diagnosis:
    • Pregnancy
    • Miscarriage
  • Treatment:

Adele, 52, came into the ER after being in a minor car accident. She also told Addison that she was pregnant and she was spotting, so Addison wanted to keep her overnight for observation. Later, she passed out in the bathroom with vaginal bleeding.

Lonnie

  • Diagnosis:
    • Head trauma
  • Treatment:

Lonnie, the fourth climber, was brought into the ER with an axe in his head.
