Statistically, it's not all that uncommon. About 8% of all males in the country have some form of colorblindess, and Tanner Langdon just happens to fall into that 8%.
But unfortunately for Mel, she just 100% figured it out before his parents.

Summary
To finally get to the point: while there hadn’t been a bet on them procreating (yet), there is the matter of the absolutely massive jackpot regarding them getting engaged, and in light of Trinity’s discovery during the shift that will forevermore be known within the Pitt community as “the Full Moon Friday Retrogeddon,” Trinity is like 96% sure Yolanda has won. Because Yolanda had put her money on “shotgun.”
The story of the first two years of a relationship, told primarily through the bets their coworkers make.

Summary
"I don't think I ever want to feel what I felt with Abby again."
"Ever?" asked Mel, her eyebrows rising and falling in a split second, any hope she might have felt — for what, she wasn't quite sure — dissipating. "Why?"
"Because one day, I'm going to wake up and realise that I've spent more time without her than with her — and I think that's going to kill me. So I need you to leave me the fuck alone."
* * *
Abby dies, and Mel's there to lend a hand.

"Is this what you want?" Mel asked, eyes searching his face so urgently he could barely track them.
Frank sighed, stretching out his neck and closing his eyes. "It's what she wants—"
"You, Frank," Mel interrupted. "I don't care about Abby. What do you want?"
He wet his lips, rubbing them together as he watched her sit with a hand on the door, ready to leave the car at any given moment. Then, he nodded. "Yeah," he said simply. "I want this."
She shook her head, gathering her bag from by her feet and pushing the door open. "Then have it," she said, forcing herself out. "Just don't expect me to watch."
* * *
In which Mel and Frank orient Hollywood — and each other.

Summary
“If you stare any harder,” a voice says, startling Frank where he stands leaning against the charge desk with his arms tightly folded across his chest. “You’re gonna burn a hole through the back of Dr. Miller’s head.”
He glances over at Dana, where the charge nurse mirrors his position, and emits a soft grunt in response.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Or, when a new doctor at PTMC shows interest in Mel, Frank is forced to confront his feelings for her.
