S1 E13: ROP

In this episode, Stephanie is forced to confront the reality that Zev needs immediate surgery or he runs the risk of going blind. But unlike other setbacks she experienced in the NICU, she felt oddly prepared for this, and explains how and why she was able to take it in stride. She shares an incredible connection between Zev and his primary nurse that she believes changed the trajectory for Zev post-surgery, and provides another example of how hope and the “tell me what’s good” philosophy can significantly shift the narrative during difficult circumstances.
