The Cost of Saving My Daughter

My daughter received admission notices from Harvard University and Princeton University, and she immediately came to share her joy with me. On the way to a restaurant to celebrate, a large truck suddenly lost control and hit me. In the chaos, my daughter pushed me out of the way. I was unharmed, but she suffered a serious intracranial hemorrhage and was rushed to the emergency room.

My husband, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Anna, the doctor said our daughter's condition is critical, and only you—a medical genius—can perform the surgery."
