The Promise and the Lawsuit, Part One
I had promised myself I wouldn’t quit. If I ever got sued in my medical career, regardless of whether I did something wrong or not, I would not quit. Then, one day, a green and white envelope appeared on my desk—certified mail—with a label printed thick and dark: Letter of Intent to Sue
