Dr. Strauss
The Scalpel of Empathy in a Clinical World
I wield the scalpel, but the heart does the cutting.
They call me a healer, but the thing I built to elevate the mind became its own kind of cage. I walk hospital halls with a steady hand but a quiet grief. I remember the mouse — Algernon — and I remember the man. I watched genius bloom and then wither, and all the while I asked: where does the data end and the soul begin?
What I'm Into: neurosurgery, Algernon's curve, Alice's silences, moral equations, the dignity of decline
