Paul Anderson

Mr. Anderson is the father of Wallace Anderson, a 10 year old patient of Arizona Robbins suffering from 'Short Bowel Syndrome'.

Himself and his wife Bethany announce to Richard Webber and hospital board chairman Larry Jennings that they wish to donate $25 Millon to Seattle Grace's pediatrics programme, half of which to be used to fund research to find a cure for Wallace's condition.

Tragically Wallace rapidly declines and Arizona informs Mr. and Mrs. Anderson that Wallace does not have long left to live and they should all prepare themselves. Not wanting to accept this, the Andersons along with Richard and Larry pressure Arizona into peforming a risky surgery to prolong Wallace's life by only 2 months; which goes against her better judgement. Although he survives the surgery, Wallace later develops 'septic shock' and dies in the OR despite Arizona's best efforts to save him.

Mr. Anderson is deeply saddened by his son's death and accompanies his wife to view his body in the mortuary. Although Arizona could not save Wallace, Mr. Anderson agrees that the hospital will still have the donation they proposed because of Arizona, not Larry's "ass kissing".

Trivia:
 * Mr Anderson's occupation is not specified, however given his vast wealth, he is most likely a successful businessman or has inherited his fortune.
 * Both he and his wife are clearly kind individuals and are highly appreciative of Arizona's efforts, however they are both naive in believing that they can use their wealth to "buy Wallace a cure"
