Chapter 2 - The Forgotten Accident
Susan sat on the edge of the examination bed, her fingers clutching the light blue gown so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Dr. Evans sat in her office chair, reviewing Susan’s old medical chart on her computer terminal. She shook her head in utter disbelief as she cross-referenced the state medical registry with Susan’s file.
"Susan, according to your public health records, you were admitted to St. Jude’s Private Hospital in October 2008 after a minor highway collision," Dr. Evans said, her tone growing darker with every sentence. "Your husband, Arthur Vance, signed as your sole medical proxy."
Susan swallowed hard, her chest tight. "Arthur told me I had severe internal bruising and minor internal bleeding... He said the doctors performed a non-invasive procedure to stop the swelling. He spent thousands of dollars to keep me in a private VIP room for three weeks."
Dr. Evans turned her monitor toward Susan once more, highlighting a missing organ in the digital anatomical render.
"You didn't just have internal bruising, Susan," Dr. Evans said gravely. "Someone surgically removed your left kidney, along with a portion of your lower reproductive tissue. And there is no record of an emergency medical necessity in your chart."
Susan’s vision blurred as cold nausea washed over her body. "My... my kidney? But I never donated an organ... I never signed any consent form!"

"Precisely," Dr. Evans replied, her eyes burning with professional outrage. "Which means eighteen years ago, an illegal surgical operation was performed on you—and someone was paid handsomely for it."
