Frank

Frank was one of the transplant recipients who became sick in the Season 5 episode Not Cancer. He was portrayed by actor Eric Kaldor.
==Medical History==
Five years previously, Frank had received an intestinal graft due to an unknown condition. He began suffering pancreatic failure. Four other organ recipients from Frank's donor had died previously.
==Case History==
Apart from Apple, Frank was the only recipient who made it to the hospital for treatment. However, his condition quickly deteriorated. The team wanted to perform a brain biopsy on him, as the test was dangerous and his condition was worse than Apple's. However, his wife refused. He died soon after despite Chris Taub's efforts.
It is eventually discovered that the donor was infected with cancerous stem cells. They had been transferred to Frank through the intestine. They spread to his pancreas where they became defective tissue, resulting in it failing.
