This isn’t about punishment; it’s about honoring what she agreed to when she took the job. In a system where empathy and duty often collide, this decision reminds us: when you accept a lifeline, you don’t get to cut the strings. The real cost of a compassionate appointment? Sometimes, it’s not just paperwork; it’s promise.
