James Leggett

James Leggett was a patient of Mark's before his death.

Initial Surgeries
James was born with crouzon syndrome, a genetic condition that caused his skull bones to fuse before they should have. James was a patient of Mark Sloan. Mark and Derek Shepherd did James' first cranial expansion. In total, Mark operated on James five times to give him a more normal appearance.

Final Surgery
Mark initially planned for James's final surgery just to move his upper jaw forward. However, Jackson's plan involved his entire mid-face being moved forward in a single block. Above Arizona and Derek's objections, Jackson proceeded with the surgery.

Romantic
James was informed by Mark that since he was "weird-looking," Mark's moves wouldn't work on the ladies, so he'd have to develop his own moves. At the time of his final surgery, he had a girlfriend he described as "super hot."

Familial
James came into the hospital with both of his parents, who had loved Mark and were sad to see that he had died. However, as Jackson was Mark's guy, they trusted him to perform James's final surgery.
