“FUCK YOU. You’re not my boss.”
My real boss murmurs my name in a reprimanding tone, but I barely
register it. My best friend Callie, also an ortho surgeon, who has no
business being here, can’t stifle her laughter, so I talk louder and closer to
the speakerphone to muffle the noise.
“I don’t work for any of you. I’m acting in my patient’s best interests.
As I always have and always will.”
We’re gathered in Dr. Preston Jett’s office discussing Max’s recovery.
More specifically, his place of recovery. Max himself lounges on an
armchair to my left, looking less worried than he should.
“It’s already been three months.” The owner of the soccer team Max
plays for in London speaks up again. His voice is joined by a cacophony of
‘yes’, ‘that’s right’, and ‘exactly’ in the background. “He needs to be in
London, with his teammates, on the pitch.” He carries on so unaffected by
my outburst that I just assume he’s used to being cursed at a lot.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
“It’s only been three months,” I correct him. “He needs to be monitored
by our team for longer than that.”
What an ungrateful bastard. No one else had a good prognosis for Max.
All the surgeons before me wanted to retire him.
Even my mentor and head
of orthopedics here at the Hospital of Special Surgeries, Preston Jett, a
legend in our specialty, had to be convinced to take Max as a patient.
Fair enough, I guess. Max’s legs have a record longer than a CVS
receipt. His latest achievement being nothing less than multiple torn
cruciate ligaments on his left knee. No sane surgeon wanted to promise him
his career back after an injury like that.
But sanity didn’t get me to where I am today. Sanity didn’t get me out
of a miserable house, nor did it emancipate me, or help me graduate from
Mount Sinai School of Medicine—with distinction—at the age of
seventeen.
So it was only fitting that I called Maxwell Sinclair, Europe’s most
expensive soccer player, and asked if he wanted to be the guinea pig for a
new technique my boss and I invented.
Preston and I have been working for the last two years on a
groundbreaking new surgery for ligament reconstruction that is going to
change so many lives. It was time to put it to the test. Which we did, while
the whole world watched. No pressure.
Max, drumming out a tune with his fingers on his knee brace, pulls me
back to the present. I’m tempted to ask if we’re boring him.
I mute our side of the conversation. “Maxwell, speak up,” I urge him in
a whisper, trying to get him to focus. “This is your life. They want you there
to make appearances. We want you here to make sure you’re okay.”
“Dr. Hadden, I’m fine.” Oh hell, no. Here we go again. I roll my eyes so
hard at him, I almost see the inside of my head. “Yours and Dr. Jett’s
surgery? It’s a freaking miracle. I’m good to go.” The athlete who thinks
he’s Superman rubs his hands together in excitement. “Come on. Let me go
home. I’m ready to get back on the field.”
