Griffin McColl

Griffin McColl is a patient who was in a car accident and electrocuted.

History
Griffin came into the hospital after running his car into an electrical pole. He had an intracranial bleed as well as being electrocuted. While he had brain surgery on the bleed, Nathan inserted a pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat. After his surgery, they told Lena, whom they believed was his wife, about his condition. However, Gayle McColl arrived and informed them that she was Griffin's wife and Lena was just his girlfriend. Griffin was worth a lot of money and so Gayle refused to divorce him due to a pre-nurtual agreement that meant she wouldn't get his money unless they were married when he died.

Griffin woke up after his surgery, confused and believing that he and Gayle were still together. He was shocked that they weren't and had no memory of Lena or their relationship. While they were talking about their life together, Griffin started to go weak. Penny examined him and found that his ICP was increasing. She did a ventriculostomy in his room and then he was rushed into surgery for a re-bleed. Despite their best efforts, he died in surgery.

Gayle McColl
He was married to Gayle McColl until his death, though they'd been separated for 33 years. She says that he was sweet and then his money turned him into someone she couldn't love. When he woke up after his surgery, he had memory loss that made him forget that they'd ever split. He called her the funniest woman he'd ever met. After his brief time conscious after surgery, she realized she loved him and just wanted a chance to love him again. However, he died in a second surgery.

Lena
After he and Gayle split, Griffin started seeing Lena. At the time of his accident, they'd been together for eleven years. When he woke up after surgery with memory loss, he was confused as to why he'd ever want to be with her.
