## History

### **Violet Waterwood**

Julia first appeared in Family Reunion when Violet Waterwood came to the hospital for a physical exam, reporting problems of headaches. She diagnosed Violet with a benign brain tumor in her frontal lobe.

In Ain't That a Kick in the Head, Julia went over the options of treatment that Violet had. She could undergo a dangerous surgery that could cost her her life, or she could die peacefully. Violet chose the former after some thinking.

Dr. Mills checked in on Violet's friends and family in All Hands on Deck while Violet was in surgery.

Violet remained in a coma after the surgery in Nothing But Trouble, and Dr. Mills checked on her every couple of hours. She also told Evan Coleman to let her know if Violet woke up or something else happened.

In Bite Your Tongue, Violet was still in a coma, with Evan sitting by her side. Dr. Mills told him that a coma was a possible complication of the surgery and that it could be permanent, but they did not know and all they could do was wait.

In 'Til Death Do Us Part, Violet woke up from her coma shortly after Evan left to go to a wedding. Dr. Mills did a check-up on Violet to make sure everything was working properly, and told her where Evan was. At the end of her shift that day, Julia decided that before she left to go home she would check-up on Violet. Everything was fine until Violet started having a seizure which she was alerted by. The episode ended in a cliffhanger.

In The Aftermath, which took place a week after Violet's seizure, it was revealed Violet was ready to leave the hospital. Dr. Mills discharged her and told her that she admires how strong Violet was through her experience. She also told Violet to call if she experiences any complications.

In Change of Plans, Violet returned to the hospital with headaches amongst other side effects and asked Dr. Mills if the tumor could be back or if something else was going on. Dr. Mills told her that she was pregnant, which came as a great shock to Violet.

### **Free Clinic**

In Let's Talk About Sex, Violet Waterwood's sister Rose Waterwood came to the hospital's free clinic because she had taken a pregnancy test which was positive and wanted to get an abortion. When Dr. Mills figured out the connection between Rose and Violet, Rose said that Violet said hi. The hospital did an extra pregnancy test just to be sure which ended up being a negative. Dr. Mills confirmed Rose was not pregnant and that she most likely had a false positive.
