Zachary is a former logger who received an arm transplant.
History[]
Zack lost his arms in a logging accident. The next four years, he adjusted to life without his arms, though he had expressed desire to receive an arm transplant.
When Sam Waldman was declared brain dead, he was a match for Zachary. They called his wife in to get special permission to donate Sam's arms to Zack. Zack and his wife, Nora, rushed to the hospital to prepare for the transplant. There was a minor complication before the surgery when they discovered a tattoo on one of Sam's arms of his wife's name. However, when Zachary and Nora were told about it, they said it was fine.
In surgery, the first arm was attached easily, but the second arm had a complication. Callie Torres stepped in and was able to restore blood flow so they could finish attaching the arm.
Four weeks after his surgery, he had sensation in the tops of his new arms and could move them at the shoulder.
