I woke up from surgery to find my four-year-old son abandoned on a hospital bench, crying into my coat. When I called my mother, she didn’t panic.

My father thought I had come home as the quiet daughter he could still erase. No badge. No white coat. No title. Perfect. So when he told a stranger, “She quit medicine years ago,” I stayed silent.
