I Loved You Nine Times

For three agonizing years, a devoted woman waits for her celebrated neurosurgeon husband to excise her life-threatening cranial growth. Nine separate times, he abandons her operating table to attend to a younger medical resident. Pushed beyond the limits of endurance, the ailing spouse walks away from his surgical theater, signs a refusal of resuscitation, and moves abroad in search of solitude. By the time the arrogant physician realizes the magnitude of his neglect, it is far too late to make amends. Stripped of his medical license and burdened with insurmountable regret, the disgraced doctor spends his remaining days haunted by the memory of the bride he cast aside.
