DOCTORS CAN'T HELP it. Sometimes, they make mistakes. Sometimes, despite their best efforts, they make a wrong judgement call, execute a procedure incorrectly, do one thing where they should have done another. They are only human, after all, and to be human is to be flawed.
Sometimes, when a doctor makes a mistake, it can lead to another person losing their life. It is devastating when that happens, but - as Douglas Adams once said - you live and learn. At any rate, you live.
But for Josephine Marguerite Carson, mistakes were unacceptable - always had been, always will be. Mistakes were what formed the foundation of who she was; they were what had robbed her of her happiness and peace of mind. She was a doctor, a surgeon; people depended on her to be flawless and perfect. Mistakes had no place in her life.
Or they wouldn't, if she were a goddess. But she was not; Josephine Carson - just like the homeless man sleeping on a bench at the end of NE Sequoia Ave, just like the postman who delivered her mail, and the patient who, sick with cancer, made their home in a hospital bed - was human.
She was human, and that was her greatest flaw.
