Arthur Soltanoff

Arthur Soltanoff is a patient who fell from a second-story window while sleepwalking.

History
While sleepwalking, Arthur went through a second-story window and seriously injured himself. In the hospital, he was still having night terrors and fought the doctors, even knocking Callie Torres to the ground.

He'd been having night terrors since his wife died. They said it was stress-related and gave him clonazepam. He figured he must have forgotten to take his pill that night because he hadn't had an episode in a while. However, Mark later spoke to his daughter, Ivy, who said they happened often. She usually got him back to bed and was able to get him back to sleep. That night, she'd fallen asleep and wasn't able to get him back to bed. She believed that because his night terrors were caused by stress, the least she could do was take care of him at night because he took such good care of her during the day.

They ordered an EEG for Arthur. They determined that his night terrors were due to a kind of epilepsy. Once it was confirmed, they took him into surgery to treat the epilepsy and repair the other damage from his fall.

Romantic
He was married until his wife died.

Familial
After his wife's death, he raised his daughter, Ivy, on his own.
