Braden Cantrell was an ill baby who was treated by Dr. Neil Melendez.

History[]

After becoming ill, Braden was treated with surgery by Dr. Neil Melendez. However, after his parents Dina and Tom took him home, Braden remained ill and his parents returned him to the hospital where they expressed fear that Neil had cut too deep while operating on Braden. Dina and Tom subsequently requested a new doctor, leading to conflict over Braden's treatment between Neil and Dr. Audrey Lim, the new Chief of Surgery and Neil's girlfriend. Lim later offered to treat Braden herself which Dina and Tom accepted.

While treating Braden with Drs. Morgan Reznick and Alex Park, Lim discovered that Braden had a second unrelated condition that was causing the same symptom. Neil was exonerated of any wrongdoing and he and Lim realized that the only reason they even knew of the condition was because of the first surgery. With Neil having been proven correct, Lim had him lead the surgery to repair Braden's condition while she assisted. Though the team was forced to remove a section of Braden's bowel and he went into distress, the surgery was a success and Lim and Neil told his parents the good news together.
