Jason Castor

Jason Castor was a patient at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Car Accident
Jason was in an accident, in which his C3 and C4 vertebrae were crushed and his spinal cord severed, as well as sustaining severe heart damaged. Though the heart damage was repaired by Cristina Yang, there was nothing they could do about the spinal cord damage and he was left paralyzed from the neck down. When his wife heard what had happened, she told Cristina that they needed to wake him up to ask him if he wanted to be kept on the ventilator or if he wanted to be allowed to die. After being asked a series of questions to test his awareness, he chose to have the ventilator turned off with his wife's support.

He was awakened and informed about what had happened. After seeing his wife and her reaction, he decided to stay on the ventilator.

Trial Work
When the opportunity came up for Jason to be part of Callie and Derek's trial to help paralysis patients like himself, but not him, he agreed to participate. While testing a special suit that allowed him to walk, his kidneys failed and he collapsed. Despite the fact that he was cleared to continue the trial, his wife believed he wouldn't because he believed she had talked him into doing it in the first place, just like he said that seeing her made him choose to live when he wanted to turn of the ventilator and die.

Romantic
He is married to Elise Castor. After his accident, she became his caretake.
