Suzanne Britland

Suzanne Britland is a woman who developed some mysterious symptoms following and appendectomy.

History
Suzanne was post-op day three on an appendectomy, but still in the hospital because she had a high white count and fever, but no sepsis. She admitted to a sore throat during rounds, but hoped to get some antibiotics and get discharged that day anyway. Her daughters were missing school because they refused to leave the hospital without her after losing their father less than a year prior after a doctor said he'd be okay and sent him home. They did a CT and during the CT, she crashed and they were forced to do a pericardiocentesis in the CT booth to relieve the cardiac tamponade. They sent the fluid to the lab for testing, but had to admit they didn't know what was going on with her. ("A Hard Pill to Swallow")

Romantic
She was married until her husband died.

Familial
With the recent death of their father, her two daughters were very clingy with her, specifically Mei Li, who was adopted and had recently been diagnosed with attachment disorder. Her sister also came to the hospital to help her and her daughters.
