One of the most wonderful things in the practice of medicine is the endless opportunities to learn new things and encounter novel medical conditions and their manifestations. However, not all new experiences are necessarily welcomed. As we recently discovered, there are some medical encounters that no physician should ever face, because no patient should have to endure these encounters. That is, no person, and certainly no child, should ever go through the kind of cruel captivity we recently encountered following the horrific events of 7 October 2023 in Israel.
