The Karma Procedure

Summary

A patient with a paralysis no one in the country could cure. A surgery I flew two thousand miles to perform.

I never imagined that on the day of his discharge, he would call in the media to publicly accuse me of accepting an illicit under-the-table fee.

Though every procedure I followed was by the book, my superiors demoted me to quell the public outrage.

As fate would have it, a year later, the same patient fell ill again. The exact same condition.

And I was the only one in the country who could save him.
