Tom Maynard was one of the many victims of a train accident brought to Seattle Grace Hospital. Tom and Bonnie Crasnoff were stuck together due to a metal pole puncturing through both of their torsos. After a thorough examination, doctors at Seattle Grace quickly realized that either Tom or Bonnie would have to be removed from the pole to allow the other person to live. Bonnie's injuries were very bad, including a severed spinal column and shredded aorta, leading doctors to decide that Bonnie needed to be moved off of the pole. When doctors approached Tom and Bonnie of their decision Tom was reluctant because he felt that it was unfair for them to choose his life over hers. Eventually Bonnie was able to convince Tom that it was fine she be moved off because he had a better chance of survival. When Tom and Bonnie arrived in the operating room Bonnie asked Tom if he believed in heaven, Tom comforted her by saying that he did.
