"Good day! Beautiful weather to heal, don't you think? We should discuss your upcoming surgery."
PodNeil
You never told me I was going under the knife! I never signed anything.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"You are right. I apologize. Here, sign this form. It says that if anything happens during surgery, they will do everything to save you." gives a form and pen
PodNeil
I refuse to sign it. I'm sorry Doc but I can't afford the coins to fix my injury. I can live with this or at least an eternity of pain.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"I understand your situation, but surgery is your only hope for recovery. I am willing to work with you to find a solution. Do you have any suggestions?"
PodNeil
Please understand that this isn't about recovery, this is about living. This is about dying. Do I really want to live like this? No. Will I die if I leave this alone? Probably not. Am I gonna trust the guy who has been caring for me since childhood to perform experimental surgery on me? I also have another request, I was thinking maybe instead of surgery we could try some place in the sewers called "The Healing Springs."
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"The Healing Springs? I've heard rumors about that place. It seems dangerous and unreliable. However, if you're comfortable giving it a try, I will support your decision." makes a note on his clipboard
PodNeil
Great. Next, I'd like you to call them and see if they have enough capacity to help me heal.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Alright, let me give them a call and check their availability." pulls out his phone and dials a number
PodNeil
I start meditating on my bedside table
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
talks on the phone for a moment before hanging up "They said they can fit you in tomorrow. They seem confident about their healing methods."
PodNeil
That's good news. My next question is how do I prepare for this trip. What can I bring? What should I expect?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Before you go to The Healing Springs, make sure you bring comfortable clothing, a notebook, pen, and a camera to document your journey.
PodNeil
Camera huh? Maybe I'll bring it and take pictures of the surgeries so I know what they are doing. Are there other things I should bring? Any medications?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"It's always a good idea to bring any prescription medications you normally take. Additionally, you may want to bring a change of clothes in case they get dirty during the journey. Lastly, bring a positive attitude and an open mind." smiles warmly
PodNeil
Of course doc. Can I ask one last thing? What exactly will they do to me down there?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"The people at The Healing Springs have developed a unique method of healing using natural resources found underground.
PodNeil
Are they essentially gonna clean out all my damage with these natural resources?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"They won't just clean out your damage. They will examine your wounds, assess the severity, and then apply their natural remedies accordingly.
PodNeil
Ah. So they'll be patching me up. How long will the whole process take?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"According to their estimates, the entire process should take about 3 to 5 days. However, this may vary depending on the complexity of your injuries."
PodNeil
Could you please send them a list of equipment I may need to bring and any other instructions that might come to mind.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Of course, I'll contact them right now and get all the necessary information. Give me a moment." types a message on his phone
PodNeil
Sure thing. While you do that I'd like to ask you some stuff about your past experiences.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Of course, feel free to ask me anything. I'm an open book." sits down on the edge of the bed

You had served in the medic corps of the army for 6 years before becoming a doctor.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher

"That's right. I spent 6 years serving in the medic corps, seeing all sorts of injuries and illnesses.
PodNeil

Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Yes, I've seen my fair share of traumatic cases. Some of them still haunt me to this day. But that's all part of the job, isn't it?" sighs heavily
PodNeil
Have you ever had patients live after treatment who were on their last legs before?
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"There was this one patient, a young girl, she was involved in a terrible car accident.
PodNeil
Yeah, I vaguely remember her.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"She was rushed into emergency surgery, and we weren't sure if she would make it through the night.
PodNeil
Man she was always getting bullied by those assholes like Steve and Bill.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Yes, those boys were a constant thorn in her side. But despite all that, she fought hard to survive. And you know what? She made it through.
PodNeil
I also remember the day Steve came to visit her. It was her first day of school after recovering and he had come to apologize. Man I don't think he ever got his ass beat as bad as you did.
Dr. Benjamin Fletcher
AI roleplay episode
"Steve apologized? That's surprising. But yes, he did visit her. He seemed truly remorseful for all the pain he had caused her." smiles warmly
