(MONITOR BEEPING)
Surgery went well.
You’ll be back to competition in a couple months.
Was it you?
Oh.
I can’t claim credit for that good deed.
Not a terribly convincing denial.
If I cared about convincing you, I’d try harder.
I knew this day would eventually come.
And I expected I’d feel vulnerable, exposed.
And I do.
But I also didn’t expect that, you know, I’d feel relieved.

It’s a little like getting back in the water the first time without my prosthetic.
I had to awkwardly hop to the water, people staring at me.
But once I got in, I… I felt a little bit lighter.

Uncle Marcus, I can’t.
(SNIFFLES)
Not now.
I’m sorry I let you down.
You didn’t let me down.
You confused me.
I know you’re not the whistleblower.
It wasn’t Dr. Browne.
I know.
It was me.
You?
Why?
Exposing that guy was the right thing to do.
Patient privacy is an important obligation, but it’s not our only one.
I knew there’d be no proof, so no one was gonna get fired.
Never expected Lim to blame Browne.
But I know that’s not why you destroyed your whole career here.
How can I help you if you don’t…
I don’t want your help.
Livvy.
I never wanted to be a doctor.
But every time I tried to tell my parents, my professors, you, you’d just… push me and encourage me until I backed down.
I knew if I got myself fired, there was no way that you could pep-talk me back into a career that I don’t want.
♪♪ Ever feel like it’s too much?
I don’t want to be important or successful.
I just want to be myself.
But I don’t even know who that is.
♪♪ Yeah, I swear I know what it’s like
The only way to find out is if I burn the bridges behind me.
♪♪ Maybe you don’t know it, but it gets better
♪♪ It’s gonna be all right
I know exactly who you are.

You are a resilient, amazing young woman.

I know I’m the last person you want to see right now, so I brought a bribe.
♪♪♪♪
I was wrong to accuse you, not only because you didn’t do it but because I was holding against you the very thing that makes you such an awesome doctor.
♪♪♪♪
You care.
♪♪♪♪
When you meet a patient, you don’t just see muscles, bones, and organs.
You see a human being with all of their strengths and flaws.
And you should never lose that, even if it does make the job harder.
♪♪♪♪
And most importantly, you’re a good friend.
