Mr. Schultz

Mr. Schultz was a patient at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital who received a heart-lung transplant for pulmonary hypertension. His heart was then transplanted into Herman Crump.

Feud with Harold Crump
He lived near Herman Crump several years prior. They became enemies when Herman's wife left him for Schultz. She ultimately ended up leaving Schultz for another man in the neighborhood, but their feud persisted.

Heart-Lung Transplant
A heart and lungs became available for Mr. Schultz, which upset Herman. While speaking to April Kepner about Bradley Parker, Cristina came up with the idea to transplant the new heart and lungs into Mr. Schultz and then take Mr. Schultz's heart and transplant it into Herman Crump, improving both of their conditions. Crump initially resisted the idea, saying he'd rather die than have Schultz's heart in his chest. Cristina talked to him and he ultimately decided to accept the transplant.

Romantic
Herman Crump's wife left him to marry Mr. Schultz. However, she eventually left him for another man in the neighborhood.
