I was running late.

I came directly from work to meet my orthopaedic oncologist, Dr. B, to discuss some biopsy results. We had met multiple times previously and were on very good terms. Typically, we joked a bit before we got into things, but today, he ushered me into his office quickly.

I started working with a group that had an issue that was getting in their way.

All team members seemed to get along very well - with laughter and joking.

But something was bubbling under the surface.
