|---|
A small town doctor feels that it's his duty to make people suffer by performing unnecessary surgeries. After a man that dated his daughter is in an accident, the doctor makes him suffer by amputating both of his legs. Knowing the truth, the doctor's daughter tells a psychiatrist friend of the man. The psychiatrist relays the truth to his friend, snapping him out of his depression, and making him get on with his life to spite the crazy doctor and show him that he failed in trying to ruin the man's life.
--Brandon Swenson, Resident Scholar
