I’m Dr. Edward Harrington, a consultant surgeon at St. Thomas’ Hospital, and I’ll never forget the day I stood in theatre, scalpel poised, while my own world unravelled. The patient before me—a young woman with her whole life ahead—depended on my steady hands, even as my own heart was breaking. That day, I learned what it truly means to put others before yourself, and the cost it can exact.
