Oscar (Grey's Anatomy)

"Oscar" is the nickname Cristina gave to the baby found behind the hospital by the dumpsters in a box.
==History==
===Heart Surgeries===
Oscar had heart problems from birth, which led to a failure to thrive. Shane theorized that that's why he was abandoned: his parents thought he was more trouble than he was worth since he'd already had surgery and would need many more.
===Being Abandoned===
The expense and stress of his care is likely what led them to abandon him behind the hospital where he was found by Jo Wilson and Stephanie Edwards.
===Further Surgeries===
After being examined at the hospital, it was determined that Oscar had Shone's Complex, which Cristina describes as the trifecta of heart defects. He had had a coarctation to his aorta, which someone had poorly tried to fix, which necessitated Cristina re-opening it. After that procedure, Oscar was discovered to have a mitral valve rupture, so he was taken back into surgery.
===Police Investigation===
The doctors determined that there was no history of Oscar having been born or seen at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and a social worker came to handle his case while they searched for whoever abandoned him.
==Notes and Trivia==
*The name Oscar comes from Sesame Street, in which Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can.
