Gillian Mendelson is a patient who was injured in a car accident.
History[]
Gillian was having sex in the back seat of her car with Cassandra Lewis, with whom she was having an affair, when one of them accidentally released the parking break, sending them down the cliff and into Cassandra's car. They were both taken to the hospital, where Cassandra was treated for an injury to her knee and Gillian for a probable concussion as her head had hit the car window.
Gillian's neuro exam was good, so they did a CT and then kept her for observation. Her husband had gotten an alert on his phone that she was in a car accident and came to the hospital, unaware of her affair. He became fixated on Cassandra being in the accident with her and said Cassandra relied on her too much and was around too often. After listening to him rant about it, Gillian confessed that they were having an affair. After Aaron walked away, Gillian remarked that while she was yelling, her head didn't hurt.
They did another scan while she screamed the whole time. Amelia looked at her and said she had Arnold-Chiari malformation which had been triggered by whiplash. She said she could do surgery to relieve the pressure. After surgery, her husband was told she was recovering in the ICU.
