Bob Yates

Bob Yates is a patient who confessed to child molestation after a heart attack.

History
Bob collapsed during a school play and was taken to the hospital. Sam looked at his scans and diagnosed an acute myocardial infarction. He needed bypass. Dr. Warren was paged away, so Sam took him up himself, with instructions to call someone if he needed help. As they were taking him to the OR, he became worried he might die and said that he needed to confess something first. He told Sam that he'd molested several children. He said he tried to stop, but he couldn't.

Before surgery, Bob had a CT angio which revealed a dissecting aneurysm. Because of his confession, Sam decided not to call in help and took Bob up to surgery himself. In surgery, Sam fixed the problem, but Bob started bleeding. Sam delayed life-saving care and Bob was pronounced dead in the OR.

Career
He was a teacher.
