Rosemary Bullard

Hospitalization: Rosemary Bullard was an elderly patient of Derek Shepherd and Miranda Bailey. She was admitted with a brain tumour, having been operated on before. Before each surgery Rosemary and her husband Ed would bid each other goodbye and say hello to each other when she woke up after. Accepting that she may not recover from surgery Rosemary signed a 'Do not Resuscitate' order as she did not want to "lie around" attached to a life support machine. Whilst Rosie makes it through the surgery, she does not come round and goes into cardiac arrest. Her husband is shocked that none of the staff try and stabilise her, Derek and Miranda gently explain that this is what she requested by signing the DNR. Not wanting to lose his wife Ed starts chest compressions, which keep her heart beating but do not bring her back. Getting tired and breathless, Miranda takes over with the intent of stopping, however Derek as to step and stops CPR letting her go.
