Michael Norris

Michael Norris was Erica Hahn's patient whose heart was stolen by Seattle Grace in the episode "17 Seconds." He comes to Seattle Grace to have a procedure done by his doctor, Erica Hahn, in the episode "Rise Up.".

Michael Norris was on the heart transplant list waiting for a new heart, he was entered 17 seconds before Denny Duquette. When two donor hearts became available at Mercy West Medical Center, Erica Hahn went to retrieve his, and Preston Burke to retrieve Denny's. After Denny's donor heart flat lined and died, Burke fought over Michael's donor heart. After calling UNOS, Michael was higher on the list than Denny, by 17 seconds. After Izzie found this out, she cut Denny's LVAD wire to move him up the list. The heart ultimately went to Denny, causing Michael to go back on the transplant list (17 Seconds).

Michael comes to Seattle Grace to undergo a procedure by Erica Hahn, Hahn picks Izzie to assist with the case, and she finds out this is the man she stole the heart from. His first procedure fails and almost goes home before Izzie talks him back into doing a second procedure, which is a success. Hahn claims she has bought him some time, but he still needs a new heart (Rise Up).

Michael Norris is Erica Hahn's patient in the episode 17 Seconds.
