Nick

Nick is a childhood friend of Arizona Robbins who came into the hospital with cancer.
==History==
===Early Life===
As a child, Nick was friends with Timothy and Arizona Robbins. When they were ten, Tim officiated a wedding between Arizona and Nick, in which he promised to stop pulling the streamers off her bike.
===Cancer===
Nick was diagnosed with cancer in his leg. He tried naturopathy to treat it. Six years after his diagnosis, he came to Seattle because he knew that Arizona had just married an orthopedic surgeon. He had lied and told her that it had only been six months since his diagnosis.
Callie and Bailey took him into surgery. Arizona was observing, but when Callie noticed mets in his vessels, she lied to get Arizona to leave.
A PET scan revealed mets all over Nick's body, including a tumor in his heart. Arizona was informed that there was very little they could do.
When he woke up from surgery, Arizona yelled at him for not coming to her sooner about the cancer because she's a doctor. In her rant, she informed him that he was dying. ("Let the Bad Times Roll")
===Planned Fix===
Cristina and Teddy looked at Nick's scan and developed a plan to remove his tumor and replace his right ventricle. Nick listened to their plan, but since it wouldn't cure him and he'd have to stay in the hospital while his best friend ignored him, he decided he'd rather go to Belize. Callie tried to talk him into the surgery, but he just told her to tell Arizona he says goodbye.
After speaking with Callie, Arizona went to convince Nick to have the surgery. After she assured him that she would be there, he agreed to have the surgery.
Cristina and Teddy operated with Arizona and Callie watching from the gallery. They watched while Cristina and Teddy went over their options. However, there was no way they could remove the tumor without killing him, so they were forced to close.
When Nick woke up from surgery, Arizona was waiting by his bed. She had to inform him that they hadn't been able to do anything and that he was going to die, so he said he'd be going to Belize. ("Migration")
==Relationships==
===Familial===
Nick has a sister. When Arizona found out about Nick's condition, she asked him if he had called his sister.
===Friendships===
Nick had been friends with Arizona and Timothy Robbins since they were kids. He and Timothy joined the Army Rangers together and he was with Tim through basic training, right up to the end.
==Career==
