What if you don’t forgive yourself?

Dr. Dylan Harper was a successful neurologist.  He was said to have the hands of God because never in his career had he done an unsuccessful surgery. But nothing lasts forever and neither did his glory. One day while performing a surgery, Dylan by mistake strike a small cut in a nerve. He didn’t realize it then and the surgery got over. Three hours after the surgery, the patient passed away because of blood clotting in the brain.


Dyaln’s world went upside down that day. He couldn’t accept the fact that he’d done something so careless and that costed him his patient’s life. This was the beginning of his downfall. He got obsessed with guilt then. He cursed himself everyday for his mistake. He’d become a doctor to save life instead he’d taken someone’s life. After that he performed two more unsuccessful surgeries and this made him miserable day by day. All he could think about was the operations that went wrong. Slowly he started cutting out on others. He kept to himself and then even stopped going to the hospital. He locked himself up in his apartment and refused to see any visitors. His friends and family called but he wouldn’t pick up the phone. All he wanted was to be left alone. His best friend, Brian, lived just across the hall and he knew that Dylan hadn’t stepped out of his apartment for a week now so he went to his place to supply him with grocery but Dylan wouldn’t open the door for that either.
