History[]
Marco is a diesel mechanic who eventually lost his job and had trouble finding another one. He also has three sons, two of whom Marco hasn't spoken to in quite some time but is working on fixing.
Season 3[]
In "Disaster," Marco is treated by Dr. Aaron Glassman at Steven Creek Medical Center where Glassman went in order to make a difference after leaving San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. Glassman is treating Marco when Shaun Murphy arrives because Glassman is late for lunch. Shaun calls Marco "a boring patient with boring symptoms" while Glassman is a brain surgeon who could be treating patients with more exciting symptoms. Glassman introduces Shaun to Marco and explains Marco's history, telling Shaun that it's good to get to know people as it makes you a better doctor. Glassman confirms that Marco has boring symptoms which is a good thing as a patient doesn't want exciting symptoms. Glassman and Marco listen as Shaun tells part of the story of his date with Carly Lever where Shaun accidentally hit a woman with a door while trying to be chivalrous.
Shaun suddenly interrupts his story to tell Marco to take off his boots. Shaun suggests that Marco is diabetic which Glassman already knows because of Marco's chart. Shaun suggests that Marco has an infection in his feet which is being masked by diabetic neuropathy and that the infection is causing the abdominal symptoms Marco is experiencing. At Glassman's request, Marco removes his boots, revealing a massive sore on the top of his right foot and proving Shaun's diagnosis correct. Shaun is excited, stating that he was wrong and Marco's case isn't boring after all.
