The sterile smell of the clinic was overwhelming. The receptionist's casual dismissal of the error was even worse. โ€œOh, just a mix-up. Happens all the time.โ€ But it wasn't just a mix-up to him. He was a professional athlete. His medical records, detailing a severe knee injury, were now mixed with someone elseโ€™s.

Every movement he made was now scrutinized. He started taping his knee, even though he felt no pain. He woke up in the night, checking his range of motion, testing his agility. He hired a private investigator to find out who the other patient was.

He was going to prove that the mistake was just that, a mistake. He would not let this error derail his career.
