    The Last Deal
    9/8/97

    "I won't take no for an answer. It's bullshit. I'm fifty-four. I'm not ready to just pack it up and die. I'm a fighter. I don't buy that nothing can be done." As he spoke, Kirk Bains locked his jaundiced eyes on mine. He was obviously studying my face, looking for clues, trying to read my response in advance. I imagined that it was a style he adopted in his business meetings, where he would face down clients by looking hard into their eyes, to gauge whether the project and the people before him were worth his resources. This time, though, the roles were reversed. "You've seen my records from Yale and Sloan-Kettering and M. D. Anderson," he went on. "They think I'm too sick for their research studies. So you cook up some new magic. Make me a guinea pig. I take risks all the time-that's my business. I won't sue you. My cousin Grant says you're a medical genius, a wizard." "That's kind of Grant to say, but I'm not a genius or a wizard, Mr. Bains." "Well, Dr. Groopman, I need you to be. Because you're my last hope." Sitting at my desk in the oncology clinic at Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where I work, I had read Kirkland Bains's records, all ninety-six photocopied pages, and had no thoughts of magic, just cold despair. . ."
