A STORY ABOUT BIAS
A father and his young son sit inside a restaurant, finishing up their meal. They look out to see the beginnings of a big storm. When they finish their meal and pay, the storm has gotten much worse and they run through the parking lot to their car and start to head home.
The storm is blinding and it’s difficult to see anything past the torrential downpour on the road. They decide it’s best to pull over but just before they do, they hydroplane and crash into a concrete barrier. Both of them are in terrible condition. Upon the arrival of paramedics, the father is pronounced dead and the young son is in critical condition. He is airlifted to the closest trauma hospital.
The son is quickly prepped for emergency surgery on the way to the hospital. The doctor slated to perform the surgery lays eyes on the young boy and says, “I can’t operate on him. He is my son.”
