Nick Marsh

Nick Marsh is a transplant surgeon who collapsed while at Grey Sloan Memorial retrieving a liver.

History
Five weeks after having a kidney transplant, Nick came to Grey Sloan to retrieve a liver for a long-time patient of his. After the surgery, he collapsed in a hallway. Meredith did an exam and ran some labs and chatted with Nick while they waited for the results to come back. His labs were inconclusive, so Meredith did another ultrasound, which showed a clot in his renal vein cutting off blood flow to his new kidney. She rushed him into surgery, where she was able to remove the clot and save his kidney.

Romantic
While he was in the hospital, he flirted heavily with Meredith and the two chatted for hours as they waited for his lab results.

Familial
After his sister, Erica, bailed, he took in his niece, Charlotte, and raised her as his own. She was sixteen at the time of his hospitalization.

His mother died when he was fifteen of heart failure while waiting for a heart transplant. That inspired him to become a transplant surgeon.

His father used to take him to the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Canada. His dad would get a look on his face that Nick envied.

Friendships
His best friend donated a kidney to him.

Career
He is a transplant surgeon at Mayo Clinic.
