Tommy Walker

Tommy Walker is a patient who was injured while rock climbing.

History
Tommy came into the ER after falling while rock climbing. He had ascending paralysis. His spinal x-rays were clear. He said the fall was small. Derek ordered an MRI. His films were all clear, but his paralysis continued to worsen. Meredith started to suspect that it was a psychosomatic reaction, but Derek assured him that they'd figure it out. The paralysis then extended to his upper limbs, so Derek took him into surgery, suspecting a clot in his upper spine that the scans had missed. After more than four hours, they finally found a clot and evacuated it.

After the surgery, Tommy slowly started to regain feeling in his lower body. He was even able to move one of his fingers.

Romantic
He was married to Ruby Walker. Together, they have two sons.

Familial
He has two sons with his wife.
