Dr. Eunice did not give up easily. A man came to her with big ears. He wanted an ear reduction. Her specialty was noses and lips, but she saw this as a challenge.
The first procedure left his ears 15% smaller. Except one ear was slightly larger than the other. So she reduced that one another 5%. But now the other ear was just a bit larger, certainly not clearly visible, but upsetting to the patient.
In all, there were six operations on each ear and they still weren't matching. By now the man's ears were so small they looked like infant's. He had to wear special foam fake ears to cover the embarrassment.
Dr. Eunice spends hours in the medical library trying to discover where it all went wrong. Hubris destroys careers.
