Mer V.O: Jealousy, rage, secrets, lies, mistakes…..EVERYONE does them! They are unavoidable. As surgeons, if we make one mistake a person dies, we lose a life. When we make mistakes as human beings, we have to suffer the consequences. And sometimes, the consequences, is what drives us to make the bigger mistakes……
