A young boy comes into the ER with a brain tumor. The surgery is perfect. The outcome is not.

Dr. Mark McLaughlin carried that one for sixteen years. He quit pediatric neurosurgery. Moved to a new town just to outrun the guilt.

Then he started writing a book, looked at an old photo on his wall, and went looking for the boy's family. Still together. Still running their pizza parlor. Still calling him part of the family.

Turns out the story he had been telling himself for sixteen years was wrong.

This one will make you rethink what it means to hold yourself to an impossible standard.
