Doris Friedman is the mother of Devo Friedman.
History[]
Doris's daughter, Devo, had a root canal and couldn't stop bleeding afterward, so she was taken to the hospital. At the hospital, they detected a heart murmur. She needed a heart valve replacement. She was diagnosed with Von Willebrand disease, which made her ineligible for a mechanical heart valve. Her religious beliefs prevented her from accepting a porcine valve, so she challenged the doctors to come up with another possible solution. After some research, Alex determined that she could get a bovine valve instead, which was even better because it would last longer. Burke was reluctant to do the procedure as he hadn't done it before, but he ultimately agreed to do it. During the procedure, he consulted with Dr. Chesney, who had done the procedure before.
