Emma Correa is a patient who crashed her bike into Teddy and Owen's wedding.
History[]
Emma and her wife, Nadi, had just sent their son off to college. Desperate not to become that couple who just grows to hate each other, Emma bought a tandem bike and signed them up for the Undies bike race. They were racing when Emma saw an anti-oil activist with something interesting written on her body, but when she tried to read it, she steered them off the path and into Teddy and Owen's wedding, injuring Father Christopher, the priest marrying them, and both Nadi and Emma. They were taken to the emergency room, where Emma was admitted for observation, while Nadi's more severe injuries were assessed. She had numbness in her feet and an x-ray showed multiple spinal fractures. While they were examining her, she complained that she was overheated, so Link ordered an MRI as he suspected damage to her autonomic nervous system. By the time she got to the MRI, she was freezing. The MRI showed a tethered spinal cord and syrinx. She told the doctors she'd always had trouble with her back, but worked through it and was unaware that her spinal cord was tethered, which was causing the pain. They took her into surgery, where they repaired the first fracture and then flipped her to clip the cord and repair the other fracture. After Amelia clipped the cord, they briefly believed she was paralyzed, but they found that she was just bleeding in her syrinx and they were able to repair the damage. Her wife was told she'd make a full recovery, though the priest they hit died, leaving Emma worried Nadi would continue to hate her, as she believed Nadi already did.
