A short update today, because the next one will be quite long.

10 - This is why they call him Greg

(No Music)





"..But, I..."

"Are you prepared for the pain that would bring you?"

"I became a doctor so that I could help people."

"And if it costs you your life? You'd give up your own happiness?"

"I don't know... but I do know that people need my help.. and I want to help them.."

"....."

"....."



(Music: Routine)

"It's... the ceiling... What am I doing here?"

"Dr. Stiles!"

"Angie..? What happened?"

"After Mr. Kovac's surgery, you just... collapsed. You've been asleep for three days."

"Wh-What?! Three days?! What about my patients? I have operations scheduled-"

"Already taken care of, Derek. I called in the other doctors. But, that's in the past. We have to discuss how to proceed from here."

"...Okay."

"Derek... I forbid you from using the Healing Touch."

"But, why would you--?"

"That ability puts a tremendous physical strain on your body. It's too risky. What if you collapse while performing surgery?"

"But... without my Healing Touch, Mr. Kovac could have died."

"Exactly. That is why you mustn't abandon the Healing Touch. I'd advise you to use it only when absolutely necessary..

First he baits Derek into visiting Doctor Hoffman so that Hoffman will start performing surgery again. When Hoffman advises him to stop, Kasal convinces Derek to not listen to him and use the Healing Touch anyway. After that, he gives him praise over his ability until Derek uses it to the point of passing out. A few moments ago he says he forbids it, and now he turns around and says 'nevermind, I was just joking, go ahead and use it.' Dr. Kasal's kind of an asshole, worthy of the name Gregory.

"After all, you shouldn't be relying solely on the Healing Touch, anyway. Developing your natural skills as a surgeon is far more important.. We can't assume the Healing Touch was the only reason Kovac survived. If you want to help people, then strengthen your natural abilities."

And now he lectures us for something we didn't even do.

"..I understand."

"Take it slowly. I'm sure the power inside you will find its way out. Become the best surgeon you can, and one day you'll inherit the full heritage of Asclepius."

"Y-Yes sir!"

Next Time: Angie is a horrible, irredeemable person whose ass should be fired.
