Robert Martin

Robert Martin is a man who was hospitalized after falling and hitting his head.

History
Robert collapsed and hit his head, causing a subdural hematoma. At the hospital, he was confused and disoriented. He believed he was on a plane when he was in the CT scanner. His sodium was also low. The scan revealed a Rathke's cleft cyst, which made him excessively thirsty, which is why his sodium was low. Derek ordered hypertonic saline to treat the sodium imbalance. Robert began to search rabidly for water, even drinking from the toilet. They had to turn the water water off in his room to get him to stop. Alex then related the order for hypertonic saline, but got the numbers wrong and ordered too much, which severely dehydrated Martin's brain. Martin had a seizure and couldn't have his surgery. ("Much too Much")

Professional
He had no friends or family members. His only company was his assistant, Doyle, who came to the hospital with him. He later fired Doyle, saying that once people see you as sick, they don't see anything else.
