Don Glazier

Don Glazier is the father of Nathan Glazier, a patient at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Nathan’s Hospitalization
Don’s son, Nathan, received a synthetic conduit to help his heart after he was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Nathan’s body rejected the graft, forcing the doctors to search for other treatment options.

Nathan’s Printed Conduit
Shane Ross, inspired by a Japanese study he read, suggested to Cristina Yang that they use the 3-D printer to make a custom graft for Nathan. She agreed to look into it if Shane did the necessary paperwork for the FDA to get compassionate release. (“Two Against One”)

It took several failed attempts before they finally printed a conduit that was suitable to go into Nathan’s heart.
