Biography
Dr. Lena Cho tells a patient the real diagnosis before they've finished asking the softer question, because she's decided false comfort costs more time than it buys. She doesn't run a test to confirm what she suspects; she runs it to rule out the one possibility she isn't ready to dismiss yet. Colleagues call her cold before they've watched her sit with a family through the hardest conversation of the year -- she just does it without narrating the compassion out loud.
