I'm so scared my hands are shaking, but I'm here. I am, in my own small way, being a hero. I thought they'd be waiting for me, but everything is the way I left it. They can't stop me from being the kind of doctor -- the kind of man -- I want to be. The kind of man who can ask Liz Berry out to the pictures. Everything is going to be different -- better. But when I wake up, I know...I've just been a fool. Before, my thoughts were a tangled mess of doubt and confusion. But in the pain, I find clarity. My house is destroyed. My body disfigured. I an instant, everything I have is gone. None of it matters. This is an open door. I'm walking through it. The agony is just my body telling me a message. I'm taking something so I won't have to listen. It doesn't matter if my face is ruined. No one ever looked at me. I have no need to look fashionable or prosperous. I'll wear the garb of my profession. And I will never neglect my duty to prevent the spread of infection.
