Janet’s Regret
I’ve always backed my decisions.
I’ve always believed in the scientific method: surmise a hypothesis, set-up test parameters, observe the results, and compare these to existing templates. But I’ve also believed my gut when I’ve looked at my patients and decided there wasn’t enough data to make a conclusion… my instincts have served me well in those instances. It’s why I’m a doctor and why I’m good at my job…
Except this time.
How could I have erred so horribly? I read the test results, discussed them with a specialist and the observations strongly supported the test results, which compelled me to believe them and the specialist. I truly believed it was the right course of action.
So quick to commit despite all the times things have seemed one way and turned out to be something else.
So quick to judge him, my friend, insane, to lock him up and not question why he suddenly became that way. I’ve betrayed his trust. Daniel has every right to separate his ties with me.
We haven’t had a chance to talk but maybe I can… would I be able to forgive him if the roles were reversed? Tough call. Only time will heal the damage I caused.
But I’m still his doctor and one day he’ll need me to be just that… but just that. Never again considered his friend.
Oh Daniel, what have I done?
The End
