Elizabeth Fallon

Elizabeth Fallon was a scrub nurse at Seattle Grace and later a patient.

Personal life
While at Seattle Grace as a scrub nurse, she worked with Ellis Grey whom she seemed to know quite well.

Liz was later admitted to Seattle Grace Hospital for a whipple and was assigned to Cristina Yang. Many doctors and nurses at the hospital were delighted to see her including Richard Webber and Preston Burke. When no surgery was scheduled, however, it became clear to Cristina that Fallon had come to die at the hospital.

In "No Man's Land," it is said that she is dying of pancreatic cancer, but in "Some Kind of Miracle," Merideth states Liz died of liver cancer. Since Liz was considering a Whipple procedure, pancreatic cancer is the correct diagnosis, which makes Merideth's statement a blooper.

Romantic life
Nurse Fallon had a married daughter and a grandchild.

Career
Liz Fallon worked as a scrub nurse for Ellis Grey at Seattle Grace Hospital, about whom she had clear memories. When Meredith visited Fallon to "send her regards" from Ellis, Fallon recalled, "the Ellis Grey I knew never had regards for anyone except Ellis Grey." She proclaimed herself "all work," just like Ellis, and surprised Meredith by how well she knew her mother. She refused to cut Cristina any slack for being abrupt and feeling tired, telling her, "I don't feel sorry for you. This is who we are. This is our lives."
