History[]
Cancer Treatment[]
David was diagnosed with stage II osteosarcoma at the age of sixteen. He was undergoing chemotherapy to treat the cancer.
Gurney Crash[]
On a day that Dave was due to have chemotherapy to treat his cancer, he and his girlfriend, Monica, sneaked out in the parking lot in Monica's parents' car to have sex. While they were doing that, a gurney was blown off the roof and it fell, impaling on the car, breaking through the sunroof, and injuring both Dave and Monica.
They were both very embarrassed when the doctors came out to free them. Jo Wilson climbed into the back seat to stabilize their necks while fire and rescue worked to free them. Once the door was removed, Monica was pulled off of Dave's lap and put on a gurney to be taken into the hospital. A blanket was then draped over Dave's lap and he was removed from the car.
In the ER, Callie Torres told Dave that his collarbone was broken and his shoulder was seriously bruised. She patched him up and put his arm in a sling. His mother then arrived and had deduced that he was in the parking lot to have sex with Monica.
Monica had to be taken into surgery when she developed a brain bleed. While she was in surgery, Dave was worried about her. When he saw his mom and Callie talking outside his room, he believed that Monica had died and they were trying to figure out how to tell him. When he came out, his mother told him that Monica wasn't dead and comforted him when he was worried that Monica would die.
Dave and his mother waited by Monica's bedside after her surgery. When she woke up, he kissed her and cried.
