:21:06
We'll need
some sponges.
:21:07
O.K., I got 'em.
:21:09
Great.
We'll get ready.
:21:11
Let's check
the eyes.
:21:13
Get a gurney
in here.
:21:15
Right there.
:21:17
Straight in.
:21:18
Next, we have
a 30, 35-year-old male,
:21:21
no I.D.,
no medical history.
:21:23
He was found
on the riverbank
:21:25
just south of the city.
:21:26
There are homeless
and indigents there.
:21:28
We get three no-names
every week.
:21:31
Nobody does anything until
they become train wrecks
:21:33
like Mr. John Doe here.
:21:35
He's got burns
covering 40% of his body.
:21:37
The hands and face
are the most severe.
:21:40
Ten years ago,
:21:41
pain from the burns
would have been intolerable.
:21:44
He would have spent
his life screaming.
:21:46
Now we use
the Rangeveritz Technique.
:21:49
Quite simply,
:21:50
we sever the nerves within
the spino-thalamic tract,
:21:53
there... which, as you know,
transmits neural impulses
:21:55
of pain and vibratory sense
to the brain.
:21:59
No longer receiving
impulses of pain,
:22:03
you stick him
with a pin...
:22:08
Ouch.
:22:09
And he can't
even feel it.
:22:13
As in many
radical procedures,
:22:16
there are serious side
effects to this operation.
:22:20
When the body
ceases to feel,
:22:22
when so much
sensory input is lost,
:22:25
the mind grows hungry.
:22:27
Starved of
its regular diet of input,
:22:30
it takes the only remaining
stimulation it has...
:22:33
the emotions...
:22:34
and amplifies them,
:22:37
giving rise to alienation
and loneliness.
:22:39
Uncontrolled rage
is not uncommon.
:22:41
Now surges of adrenaline
:22:42
flow unchecked
through the body and brain,
:22:45
giving him
augmented strength.
:22:46
Hence, the restraints.
:22:49
Naturally, we give them
every chance of recovery.
:22:52
Remain optimistic,
:22:53
inspire confidence,
:22:54
talk to him about
rehabilitation potential.
