"Not bad." Schiller yawned, sat on the chair, and glanced at the ward round records placed on his desk. Each page was very brief, indicating that there was nothing unusual about it.
"Did anything happen while I was away?"
Schiller originally just asked as usual, but Wei An said: "The front desk of the obstetrics and gynecology department called you, and I said you would call him back later."
Schiller nodded, picked up the phone and pressed the number representing the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and transferred it to the front desk. He said: "Hello, I am Schiller. My students told me that there is a call from you. Is there anything you can do?"
What's the matter?"
Schiller frowned more and more as he listened, but he said nothing and said, "Okay, help me tell them that this is my honor."
After Schiller put down the phone, he was thoughtful. At this moment, Charles walked in. Schiller gave Wei An a look and he went out. At this time, only Schiller and Charles were left in the office.
Seeing the phone in Schiller's hand, Charles knew that the secret was revealed, but he did not feel any anger around Schiller. Although he could not read minds, his ability was so powerful that he did not interfere with the other person's brainwaves at all.
, and could clearly feel the other party's emotions, but Schiller was indeed not angry. If he had to say it, he was just a little helpless.
"Charles, I know that your ability is very powerful, and I don't mean to say that you are hurting ordinary people by using your ability in this way. I know that your starting point is good, and you have given the best possible result, but I'm afraid
Things are not as simple as you think."
"Appreciate further details."
Charles sat across from Schiller and said.
"The same words may sound a bit ruthless, but my requirements for every doctor and intern in the psychiatry department are the same. Do not interfere with patients excessively. If they are not in pain, there is no need to treat them."
"But Lisa was in pain."
"Because you felt her pain, right?" Schiller said: "You faced her pain in a way that was much more intuitive than ordinary people, which made you feel unbearable and worried about your behavior of standing idly by.
Uneasy."
Charles nodded.
"Perhaps you have never thought that your ability also has a bad side. Just like now, maybe ordinary people can see Lisa's pain through her expression and actions, but in the end they cannot understand that he cannot be with her like you.
I feel the same way.”
"So they can hold back very well, follow the procedures, try not to get involved in personal feelings, and only perform their duties as doctors, trying to give up those unnecessary sympathy."
"But I don't understand what's the benefit of doing this." Charles shook his head and said: "We should do our best, rather than being indifferent to the suffering of others. You are the closer companions, aren't you?"
Schiller sighed softly and said: "Theoretically speaking, this is true, but the wonderful thing about the human race is that many things do not happen according to theory."
"Maybe there won't be any serious consequences this time, and maybe you'll get good results if you do it a thousand times or ten thousand times, but as long as there is one disaster caused by human uncontrollability, a vicious cycle will begin.
"
Charles frowned. He could hear a metaphor in Scheller's words, but he couldn't find the point of the metaphor.
But he didn't expect that Schiller was willing to go deeper. He heard Schiller say.
"I emphasize not to pay too much attention to patients, not to involve their emotions, and not to have any contact with them beyond their duties. This does not mean that you should do less, but rather that you should not do too much."
"If his condition is still such that there is a high chance of recovery with conventional means, then do not resort to unconventional means, because everything you do within your duties is protected by the time-honored rights and responsibilities of the doctor's profession.
You just did what a doctor should do."
"But everything you do outside of your responsibilities is only responsible for yourself. You have to bear the possible consequences of all this, but not all of them are good. As the saying goes, good results are better than ten thousand times.
It won’t hurt you as much as the last bad result.”
"And to a certain extent, this is also irresponsible to the patient. Although it is always said that modern medicine is a science that completely follows laws, which is exactly the opposite of empiricism, the modern medical system is established by summarizing the long history of human medical treatment.
It’s almost the most suitable system for modern humans.”
"The extra things you do may seem good, but the changes brought about by everything outside the system are unpredictable and usually beyond what normal humans can bear, which means that in most cases there will be no good results.
result."
Charles frowned deeply. He listened very carefully and recorded every pause in Schiller's words.
Schiller put his hands on the table, looked into his eyes and said: "Personally, I can completely understand. As the only person in the world who can understand them, you have experienced their personal experience. It is difficult to understand."
It's effortless, and because you are a mutant, you view everything about them from a higher perspective and imagine that rescue is too easy."
"These two kinds of ease make you don't have to think too much when using your abilities, because there are no difficulties in front of you, only a smooth road."
Schiller spread his hands and said: "This sounds too easy. Use your brain manipulation skills to delete the pain of every patient you meet, and gain relief and satisfaction. You can give to others without losing anything."
"But you know that the gifts of fate are all secretly marked with a price. The law of the world is that you have to give up and get the best of both worlds. There is never a good thing that has the best of both worlds."
Charles sat there in silence for a long time, thinking about what Schiller said, and then he spoke.
"But I still don't understand, what is the secretly marked price?"
Schiller also fell silent.
"I'm sorry it's hard for me to describe it to you." Schiller shook his head and said, "Now I am your teacher, but I really can't give you any guidance in the professional field, but those things other than the professional field
, and it’s really difficult to express it in words.”
"If you feel that the teaching you can get from me is very limited, then you can choose to change the teacher, and maybe I can recommend it to you."
"No, I won't change." Charles refused.
Schiller pressed his temples with his hands and thought, Charles has a much better temper than Bruce. The only problem is that both of them are stubborn.
"Okay, let's get down to the specifics. What did you do to Lisa and Oakes?"
"I..." Charles hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to say this so as not to make Dr. Schiller think that he was quibbling.
What he actually thought was that Dr. Schiller must be on the side of ordinary people, and if he directly said that he deleted Lisa's memory and also modified the memory of everyone including Oaks and the surrounding medical staff, it would really
It's hard not to feel disgusted.
Charles knew that almost all ordinary people were afraid of this. Even his biological parents would be shocked and disgusted when he bluntly said something they were thinking when he was young.
Charles had a sarcastic attitude towards this, because the knowledge and secrets in ordinary people's minds are basically only valuable to themselves, and they don't know what they are hiding.
But now he has to consider Schiller's feelings, because it is obvious that he has to stay in this universe for a while. It would be terrible if he is disliked and kicked out.
Eventually Charles decided to speak up.
"I know this sounds a bit bad, but when I peeked into Lisa's brain, I was stimulated by some of her emotions when she was sick. I subconsciously deleted those emotions, but if there are only memories and no emotions, then the secret will be revealed.
, so I also deleted the memory."
"Are you stimulated?" Schiller frowned immediately, and Charles finally felt that he was getting nervous.
"It's not serious." Charles said it was fine and said: "It's just those crazy emotions running around, and some of them ran into my mind, but they didn't have any serious impact on me. After all, this lady is just an ordinary person.
"
Schiller relaxed and motioned for Charles to continue.
"Those sad memories are gone, and there must be some memories to explain why she appeared here, so I changed the memory to say that she just had a less serious uterine fibroid, and her husband accompanied her for the operation.
"
"During the operation, they discovered a concurrent tumor. Fortunately, it was benign and early stage. So they stayed in the hospital for about seven months and have now recovered."
"So Lisa now has no memory of losing a child, so what about the traces of their previous treatment?"
"I have read the memory of the resident doctor. After Lisa came to the hospital, all the examinations were done in the hospital, and the examination results were not taken home. The nurses took all the examination results and destroyed them, and the information on the intranet was also destroyed.
It was deleted, and the drugs used and the operating table occupied were changed to someone else's name." Charles replied.
“Where are the items they have at home for their children?”
"They have been preparing for pregnancy, and the uterine fibroids were discovered during a pre-pregnancy check-up, so there will be items prepared for the child in advance at home, and I have revised the memories of everyone who learned about their pregnancy and the reason for their hospitalization. , I checked it several times and found nothing missing.”
Although Schiller said this to Charles, he still sighed inwardly, this ability is too convenient.
"That's why the inpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology just called me to tell me that they were going to discharge me."
"Yes, during the treatment process, Lisa became emotionally unstable and engaged in self-mutilation. You treated her and the effect was very significant. After the tumor surgery, you cooperated with her to apply for the Women's Federation Healing potion quota, so they can be discharged early."
"Very good, well written." Schiller promptly affirmed and said: "The combination of fiction and reality, the plot is vivid, you are very talented."
Charles asked tentatively: "Do you think this is okay?"
"No big problems so far, but you'd better hope things turn out for the best."
"What if?"
"Otherwise, it will develop in a bad direction, and the bad will be bad to the end, and the bad will be bad one after another until you can no longer deal with it."
