Betrayal Is Inevitable

As medical professionals, we know everybody’s secrets…

Their medical history…

Their sexual history…

Confidential information that is as essential to a medical professional as a 10 blade, and, every bit as dangerous.

We keep secrets… we have to. But not all secrets can be kept. In some ways, betrayal is inevitable. When our bodies betray us, surgery is often the key to recovery. But when we betray each other… the path to recovery is less clear.

We will do whatever it takes to rebuild the trust that was lost.

And then, there are some betrayals that are so deep, so profound, that there is no way to repair what was lost.

When that happens, there is nothing left to do but wait…
