Lucia

Lucia is the pregnant wife of Carl.
==History==
Lucia's husband, Carl, came into the practice with her when she was pregnant. He had passed out on the toilet and hit his head, so Addison referred him to Amelia to get checked out. He was on leave for three weeks so he could be home when the baby was born. He admitted that sometimes, he got dizzy. His EKG showed that there might be a problem with his heart.
Lucia confessed that she wanted them to find something wrong, something that would keep him out of the Army because she was worried about him dying.
Sam reviewed Carl's cardiac CTs and found a serious blockage in his artery. He believed Carl was a candidate for a stent, but Addison suggested drug therapy instead, so that he could get discharged.
Sam brought Lucia and Carl in to talk to them about their options. Lucia believed the surgery was too risky, but Carl said that he has guys who depend on him to stay alive. Lucia said that she and the baby depend on him too. Carl said he still wanted the surgery, because he was a soldier and wanted to go back.
As he went into surgery, he said that he knew he should be there for his wife and child, but he felt a responsibility to go back to service.
In surgery, Sam said that his vessels were more clogged than he thought. The stent might not hold. He used bypass instead, which would permanently take him out of the Army.
After the surgery, Sam told Carl he wouldn't be able to return to active duty. Carl was upset because that's not what he wanted.
