Pat Cusack is a maintenance manage and castaway from Survivor: David vs. Goliath and was a member of the David Tribe.
Pat quickly emerged in a leadership role on the David tribe, taking the reins on building the shelter for the tribe. His bossiness rubbed some of his tribe mates the wrong way and annoyed them, but was considered an asset to the tribe. Unfortunately, the Davids lost the very first immunity challenge. On the boat ride back to the David beach in the middle of a Fijian cycle, a giant wave caused Pat to fall and injured his back. Once back at camp, the Medical Team checked Pat out and determined that it was too serious for him to continue in the game. He was medically evacuated on Day 3, becoming the first person to leave the game. Pat made a full recovery from his injuries after 3 days in the hospital, lost weight, and in the finale stated that he is ready to come back and play.
Pat is tied with Kourtney Moon from One World for the earliest medical evacuation, with them both being pulled from the game on Day 3 and being the first ones to leave the game. Pat is the only male David tribe member to not make the merge. Eventually winner Nick was supposed to go home that night according to Pat, who was saved due to Pat being medically evacuated. During the off-camera injury he sustained, Carl was also thrown in the boat and smacked his head. Pat is one of only six castaways to never visit Tribal Council, joining Jonathan Libby and Wanda Shirk from Palau, Gary ‘Papa Smurf’ Stritesky from Fiji, Kourtney, and Dana Lambert from the Philippines.

Kourtney and Pat were amongst my pre-show favorites in their seasons, so I was extremely disappointed both went home in that way. Hope to see Pat again if he is able to and if his return wouldn't detract from a future season.
