The Ghost in the O.R.

Summary

Before I died, my parents cursed me every day.

My mother blamed me for stalling her career. "If I hadn't accidentally gotten pregnant with you, I would have been Chief of Surgery years ago."

My father blamed me for his business failures. "Ever since the day you were born, every investment I touch turns to ash. You are a jinx."

They only loved my older sister, Sarah. They said she was just like them—studious, quiet, and refined.

I, on the other hand, was like an unevolved primate in their eyes—always running wild, getting into fights, and embarrassing the family.
