Mary Portman was a patient of Dr. Bailey. They were trapped together during the shooting in the hospital.
Being Trapped in the Hospital
Mary and her husband Bill came to the hospital so Bailey could perform a colostomy bag reversal surgery. She was told she couldn't have her second surgery because she needed a blood transfusion first. She hadn't eaten anything for quite some time, so she asked her husband to get her a pizza. While Bill was away, the hospital was put under lockdown because of Gary Clark, who was shooting people in the hospital. Mary noticed something was wrong because her husband hadn't returned yet (he wasn't allowed to enter the hospital anymore) and Dr. Bailey kept hanging around in her room (because of the lockdown). However, Dr. Bailey refused to confess that there was something wrong until Charles Percy entered the room, saying the shooter was on the floor. Mary was really scared when Bailey looked through the window and saw Gary coming their way. She told Mary to play dead and covered her with the bed sheet. Charles hid himself in the bathroom and Bailey hid herself under Mary's bed. Gary Clark entered the room and started crying because he thought the hospital had killed another patient, like his wife. He was about to leave the room when he heard a noise in the bathroom. He discovered Charles, who confessed he was a surgeon. Gary then shot him in the abdomen and also pulled Bailey from under the bed. However, she said she was a nurse and Gary left the room after reloading his gun. Mary then finally could breathe again. Bailey then urged her to assist her while trying to keep Charles alive. Mary handed over supplies to Bailey. Bailey couldn't do much however, and they tried to drag Charles to an OR. Mary feared Gary might come back, but Bailey managed to calm her down. Bailey then talked Mary through helping her start to treat Charles. They dragged the bleeding Charles to the elevators on one of Mary's sheets, but the elevators were turned off because of the lockdown. Realizing there was nothing they could do, they sat down to comfort a dying Charles. After an emotional conversation with Dr. Bailey, Charles passed away. After Gary had killed himself, the lockdown was lifted. Mary and Bill were reunited and hugged. Mary cried when Bill asked her if she was okay.
Traveling
After the shooting, Mary and Bill decided to travel. They went to Paris, Morocco, Alaska, and went on a cruise through the Baltic.
Getting the Surgery
Six months after the shooting, Mary and her husband were featured in a documentary about the shooting. Mary was followed by a TV crew on the day she was admitted to the hospital for a second time. Bailey and Mary were relieved to see each other again. Bailey performed the colostomy bag reversal surgery flawlessly. However, it later turned out that Mary wouldn't wake up. Bailey sadly explained to Bill that it's very rare, but that it sometimes happen that patients don't wake up from the anesthesia after surgery. When her organs started failing, Bill decided to take her off of life support.
•When asked what she was looking forward to most after her surgery, she responded "Babies, lots and lots of babies."
•She was 30 at the time of her death.
•Her bloodtype is most likely A, with an unknown Rh factor, as Charles can be seen holding a unit of type A blood when he's in her room.
•Dr. Bailey got very attached to Mary, which is very rare. Bailey has only gotten attached to a couple of other patients over the course of the series.

- Millie Bobby Brown. A year before achieving international stardom on Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown starred in the memorable season 11 episode "I Feel The Earth Move".
- Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore starred in one of Grey's Anatomy's most dramatic episodes, "Sanctuary" from season six (aka, the one with Gary Clark's shooting spree at the hospital).
- Leslie Odom Jr. He's now a Tony winner for his role as Aaron Burr in Hamilton and Oscar nominated for One Night In Miami... but in season five of Grey's, Odom Jr played a patient who begrudgingly gives his father a kidney as part of an ambitious "domino surgery" with multiple patients.
- Christina Ricci. Back in the second season two-hander "It's the End of the World" and "As We Know It", Christina Ricci had quite the dramatic stint as a paramedic who has her hand stuck in a patient's chest cavity to stem the bleeding.
- Derek Shepherd. After McDreamy spent a beautiful day saving lives during Season 11, his car was rammed by a semi, and Dillard Medical Center botched his treatment.
- George O’Malley. We never saw it coming. In Season 5, George was on his way to become a trauma surgeon in the army when he leapt in front of a bus to save a woman.
- Mark Sloan. Not cool, Grey’s. Not cool. The show let us think that McSteamy was gonna be OK after the plane crash, only to let him slip into a coma during Season 9 before being taken off life-support and leaving behind a crazy-hot corpse.
- Lexie Grey. But… but… Lexie and Mark were supposed to get married and have kids. They were meant to be. She’d agreed with him on that. “Meant to be” was even the last thing she said… before succumbing to injuries sustained in the plane crash with which Season 8 ended.
