Dr. Andrej Fabián is one of the best internal medicine doctors in Slovakia, but his relationship with his patients is completely impersonal. He doesn't call them by their names, but by their bed number. He is not interested in their personal lives, only in their laboratory reports. Zero empathy, zero compassion, zero emotional involvement. One night, however, the personal life of a patient who died in his ward catches up with him cruelly: the patient's father, distraught with grief, shoots him in the head. Fabian does not die, but when he wakes up, he quickly realizes that what has happened to him may be far worse than death: the head wound has erased all his memories of the past twelve years. The only thing Fabian can cling to to keep from falling into despair is to get back to his work. But something has changed in him: being a patient has completely upended his approach to medicine. And although he cannot now rely on his medical knowledge, which is 12 years old, he can use his renewed capacity for emotional engagement.
