What was said
"My father was my mentor and just a huge leader in my life. And the news was bad that he had cancer and his prognosis was really poor. Right before I'm about to go into surgery. I don't think I can do this. I don't think that this is a good time to do surgery. What you did was, is you reminded yourself of who you are. You dismantled fear by reminding yourself of who you are, and you began to love your father more, love your patient more, and love what you do more."
Dr. McLaughlin received devastating news about his father's terminal cancer diagnosis moments before a complex brain surgery. He nearly canceled but proceeded by shifting his mindset from fear to love, dedicating the operation to his father while focusing on serving his patient.
