Ashley Hughes

Ashley Hughes is a patient who came into the ER after dislocating both hips while having sex with Christopher.

History
Ashley came into the ER with Christopher after he fell on her while they were having sex. She had crush injuries and both her hips were dislocated, while he had only a head laceration. She said her legs were on his shoulders and her feet were in the air when he slipped and fell on her, crushing her due to his much larger size.

In the ER, she was maxed out on pain meds, but still in extreme pain. Callie offered her the option to have her hips reduced in the ER to reduce her pain instead of putting her under anesthesia to do it. She went for it and they reduced her hips.

They took her for a CT, which revealed a break in her femur that the first set of films hadn't shown. Her right leg was also cold and pale from lack of blood flow. They rushed her into surgery, where they restored blood flow and fixed her femur.

After surgery, she had a pulmonary embolism which required an embolectomy. After that procedure, she was told she'd be fine.

When Christopher came to visit her in her room, she said she didn't need to climb Everest a second time, ending things with him.

Romantic
She described Christopher as funny, cute, and sweet. Despite his large size, she decided she was up for the challenge. However, when they had sex, she was seriously injured when he fell on her. She then told him she didn't need to climb Everest a second time, ending things with him.
