Barash gets the news on a Thursday in late January—the day of the week when the NEJM drops into the mailbox by his front door. But he’s at the beach, far from home, on a family vacation with his parents at a professional conference for anesthesiologists. Barash can smell chlorine and sunscreen as he, Gillian, and the two boys head toward the water park. With three-month-old baby Jack strapped into a stroller, Barash takes a minute before chaos ensues to peek at his e-mail, where he sees the notification he’s been hoping for:

Subject: New England Journal of Medicine 17-16355.R2
