Irene Sholman

Irene Sholman is a woman with stage four cancer who came into the ER.

History
Irene came into the ER with pain in her abdomen. Levi examined her and said he believed she had a bowel obstruction. Irene's husband, Norman, then told Levi that Irene also had colorectal cancer. He ordered a CT scan, which showed multiple mets in her liver and lungs as well as the obstruction. Meredith told Irene she wasn't confident she'd recover from surgery, so they offered her palliative care.

Wanting to do something special for Irene, her husband Norman enlisted the help of Levi and some other residents to make the cafeteria into a dance floor. They disconnected her oxygen and draped a gown around her and she and Norman danced around the floor.

Romantic
She is married to Norman Sholman.

Familial
She and her husband have at least two children and at least one grandson together.
