Two versions of the same story, a story about surgery day. Told from the perspectives of a mother, Kristyn Newber, and a child, Erica Stearns (an adult who had many surgeries throughout her childhood).

Unlike the conversations that usually take place on this show, today, you will hear two versions of the same story. A story about surgery day.
