Next, we have a 30, 35-year-old male, No l. D., no medical history. He was found on the riverbank just south of the city. There are homeless and indigents there. We get three no-names every week. Nobody does anything until they become train wrecks like Mr. John Doe here. He's got burns covering 40o% of his body. The hands and face are the most severe. Ten years ago, pain from the burns would have been intolerable. He would have spent his life screaming. Now we use the Rangeveritz Technique. Quite simply, we sever the nerves within the spino-thalamic tract, there-- which, as you know, transmits neural impulses of pain and vibratory sense to the brain. No longer receiving impulses of pain, you stick him with a pin... Ouch. and he can't even feel it. As in many radical procedures, there are serious side effects to this operation. When the body ceases to feel, when so much sensory input is lost, the mind grows hungry. Starved of its regular diet of input, it takes the only remaining stimulation it has-- the emotions-- and amplifies them, giving rise to alienation and loneliness. Uncontrolled rage is not uncommon. Now surges of adrenaline flow unchecked through the body and brain, giving him augmented strength. Hence, the restraints. Naturally, we give them every chance of recovery. Remain optimistic, inspire confidence, talk to him about rehabilitation potential. Personally, l give him a 9 on the buzzard scale. Yaah! Code blue, burn unit. Doctor? l'm in charge here. Damn it, let me through!
