truth

As doctors, we're trained to give our patients just the facts.

But what our patients really want to know is -
will the pain go away?
Will I feel better?
Am I cured?
What our patients really want to know is - is there hope?

But, inevitably, there are times when you find yourself in the worst case scenario.

When the patient's body has betrayed them and all the science we have to offer has failed them.
When the worst case scenario comes true, clinging to hope is all we've got left."
