Interview, Sabrina Ruiz, Surgeon

Isabel Hardy has a syndicated radio program - The Isabel Hardy Show - where she interviews people of topical interest. Her producer, Leeanna Jansen, books a young lady, nineteen years old, and a recent amputee, believing it will be inspirational. Laurie is asked about the cause of the amputation. She blurts out that she had BIID, and found a surgeon to amputate the leg.

Listeners and Advertisers are outraged and the podcast of the show is pulled from the website. Citizens of Northwood where the show is broadcast, and both Isabel and Leeanna live, are divided. Many accept that this illness is little different from what affects transgendered people and that the amputation is just a treatment. Others believe it is wrong to amputate healthy limbs.

Isabel realizes that her feelings about her arm mirror the ones discussed during the interview. When she returns missing an arm, a TV reporter camps out in front of her home demanding to know why the amputation. A few citizens tell the reporter to leave Isabel alone.
