On her first day at St. Mary’s City Hospital, Dr. Emily Carson is thrust into the chaotic reality of medical practice in “The First Encounter.” The difficult oncology ward challenges her clinical efficiency when she meets Mrs. Thompson, a terminally ill patient with a different perspective on life. Mrs. Thompson makes Emily realize that sometimes it’s important to have caring and sympathetic relatives around because it helps people come to terms with terminal illness. As Emily struggles between clinical responsibility and care she truly feels for Mrs. Thompson she begins to ask herself if true healing is possible without going beyond what medicine as such can do? This is a gripping story about the confluence of compassion and clinical care where empathy reigns supreme when dealing with life’s issues that seem insurmountable.
