Perry Onikul is a patient who was in the hospital to have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
History[]
Perry had had a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation to treat her breast cancer. Once she was in remission, Jackson planned to do a DIEP flap breast reconstruction. However, her pre-operative scans showed an inguinal hernia, which needed to be repaired before her breast reconstruction. When Perry heard about this, she was devastated about her reconstruction being delayed and asked if they could do both surgeries at the same time. Jackson tried to say no, but Meredith said they could do it. There was a minor complication because Meredith used a vein Jackson had been planning to use for the reconstruction, but he was able to use a different vein and the reconstruction was completed as planned.
Career[]
