Synopsis
Dan Shapiro, clinical psychiatrist who himself suffers from a debilitating disease, writes about a suicidal obstetrician who is racked with guilt about a mistake she made years before: she delayed making a decision about a Caesarean, and as a result the baby contracted cerebral palsy. Shapiro describes the long but successful process of therapy, including in the process his own emotional reactions to the woman's plight.
