It's annoying when hearing medical personnel sound insensitive to their patient's plight. I know they have to be honest but do they have to be so damn heartless about it?

And they will try to discourage you from having hope. It terrified me when my doctor told me I would never walk again after my accident.

I rejected it and promised him he will see me walk again. Thank God my prayers were answered. Sadly, I never saw the doctor after that day to date.

Though your story is fiction. It still resonates with me.
