BROOKLYN — Nicole Bergman received the call from the police — from her boyfriend Stefanos’ cell phone — around the same time two officers came to her door.The phone call and the foot messengers delivered the same message: that Stefanos was in critical condition after being thrown off his bicycle by a vehicle. Stefanos, then 29 and a doctoral candidate at NYU, was transported to the nearest hospital to undergo emergency brain surgery that, by a slim chance, could save his life.
