Now the Intern Is Panicking

As a top-tier surgeon, when I announced my resignation and that I would no longer operate, every surgeon in the hospital was thrilled. They even threw a celebration party.

But only the intern my wife brought in—hailed as a once-in-a-century medical genius—came to me looking deeply troubled.

"Dr. Bennett, even though you made a few mistakes in recent surgeries, your skills are still there. We need you. The patients need you too."

His face was full of earnest concern. If I weren't the one involved, I might have actually believed him.

I turned and walked away without expression.
