Nate Ardilla is a patient who was injured while piloting his watercraft in the Pacific Ocean.
History[]
Nate had built a watercraft that allowed him to propel himself across the ocean. He did so with the intent of piloting the craft to Hong Kong, a feat more impressive than his wife's ex-boyfriend going from San Francisco to Hawaii. He had attempted this trip four times before, but had always returned before he got too far. One morning, he decided to try again, but while he was out, he was clipped by a container ship. He became impaled by part of the craft and so he and the craft were transported to the hospital, where they started assessing his injuries outside. Aware that he could start bleeding catastrophically as soon as the pole was removed, they brought supplies outside and cleared the way between the parking lot and the OR to get him there as quickly as possible. Nate asked to wait so he could talk to his wife again, but they were unable to get her there in time, so instead he told Simone to tell his wife that he loved her and knew she had doubts about marrying him. He wanted her to know that everything he did was for her and he'd never stop trying to do right by her. He started bleeding catastrophically as soon as they removed the pole, so Winston did REBOA in the parking lot to buy them time. They moved him to the OR and operated on him, but unfortunately, he died of his injuries.
