Karen

Karen came into the ER with her fiancé and their kids after her fiancé and son fell off a ski lift.

Family Struggles
After three years of dating, Karen got engaged to a man named Brian, despite the fact that her son, Micah, and his daughter Danielle didn't get along.

Earthquake
In order to try to resolve some of the animosity within their family, Brian planned a ski trip. While they were riding the ski lift, an earthquake hit and Micah fell off the ski lift. Brian fell after him when he tried to stop Micah from falling. They both fell about 14 feet and were taken to the ER. Brian had only minor injuries and after repeat labs were clear, he was told he would be discharged soon. Meanwhile, Micah had a broken leg and some abdominal injuries. They took him for a CT, where they diagnosed a grade IV splenic laceration and had to resuscitate him when he coded immediately after the CT. They went back out to the ER where they waited for Karen to re-appear before telling her that Micah needed surgery. While he was in surgery, Brian and Karen continued to fight and Karen stopped talking to Brian. After surgery, Karen was told that Micah would be okay.

Romantic
Karen dated Brian for three years before becoming engaged. He says he would have proposed after the third date, but he waited because their kids didn't get along. While Brian and Micah were hospitalized, Karen stopped speaking to Brian and their relationship was left up in the air.

Familial
Karen has one son named Micah. She was also seeing a man with a daughter named Danielle who dislikes both Karen and her son.
