Oliver Lefkowitz

Oliver Lefkowitz was a patient at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital who had a gastric neurostimulator implanted to treat gastroparesis.

History
Oliver had gastroparesis and was said to have been an epic pucker for a long time, which left him unable to eat solid food. He was in the hospital to have adhesions removed and to have a gastric neurostimulator implanted to shock his stomach to remind it to digest his food.

In surgery, Jo Wilson accidentally perforated his stomach, but Alex Karev was able to repair the damage and the operation was successful.

Familial
Oliver came into the hospital with his parents, Rob and Lisa.

He was 10 at the time of his hospitalization.
