Brian Kristler is a patient who came in after his parents' meth lab blew up.
History[]
Brian came into the ER with a possible head injury after an explosion in his home. A CT scan showed no acute injury, but Alex smelled meth on him, so he said he needed to run more tests and ordered an MRI and a tox screen, which revealed that he'd ingested meth, probably due to it coating the floors and walls of his home when his parents were making it. He started to go into withdrawal at the hospital. When his father found out the doctors knew he'd been cooking meth, he tried to take Brian and hide, but they were discovered in the bathroom attached to his mother's hospital room, limp in his father's arms. He'd had a stroke, so he was rushed into surgery. His surgery went well and his grandmother came to take custody of him because his parents were being arrested.
