Todd Reiter is a man who came into the ER with his pregnant wife who had transient weakness.
History[]
Todd's wife, Pam, pulled into the ER and called for help. Todd couldn't move his legs, which is why she drove them to the hospital even though she was in labor. They both said it was in Todd's head, because he'd had symptoms like that during her previous pregnancies.
In the ER, Todd was put in a collar and Pam was determined to be only at four centimeters, meaning they had time before she'd give birth. Todd's legs stopped tingling and he was able to move them again. Despite him having experienced sympathetic symptoms with his wife's three prior pregnancies, James wanted a neuro consult for Todd. Amelia looked at his chart and said she'd see him in her office later that week. Despite that, James ordered a CT.
Pam continued to labor down in the ER while they waited for a bed in labor and delivery to become available.
Pam had late decels and needed a c-section. Because the ORs were all full, they prepared to do a c-section in the ER. As they prepared, doctors came in to take Todd, who needed surgery for a spinal infection, which had caused his transient weakness. During the c-section, a uterine artery was lacerated, but Jake was able to stop the bleeding as Addison tended to the baby. Addison then introduced Pam to her daughter.
After Todd's surgery, Addison took the baby to see him. He couldn't hold her because of his surgery, but he was able to give her a kiss.
