The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival.

Using stories to discuss grief and professional identity
Stories from medicine often matter because they give language to grief, moral distress, helplessness, and wonder. Their practical value may lie in reflection and conversation rather than in demonstrating an extraordinary mechanism.
Notice which choices the clinician regrets, which relationships changed, and what the narrator learned about uncertainty. Those themes can be discussed responsibly even when clinical details are incomplete or identities are protected.
