Location: Human World, Bright Idea's House

In this house, people are coming inside sick. They were here to see a human named Bright Idea. His name pretty much sums up what ideas he comes up with the right. You would think so. Some of his ideas were pretty good. Truthfully...Well not so much. Bright Idea was what people would call a psychic surgeon. He would welcome a sickly patient into his house and pull diseased organs directly from their bodies without making any kind on the incision. That sounds a bit strange. That is because it isn't possible what he really was pulling out was bloody animal parts and pretending to pull the organs out of someone. He had the technique mastered and his idea was making him money. Sci-Twi tells us a bit about a psychic surgeon.

"A psychic surgeon uses slid of hand to appear to reach inside a person that is sick to remove pathogenic tissue or organs. Then they say ta-da you are healed. Even though that is not possible."

Bright Idea was gaining money from people. Some people would come to see Bright Idea after they saw a doctor and they would be healed in a couple of days. They thought that Bright Idea made them heal quicker. Even though it was just the doctor's medicine that did it. Hey, the pills do not work automatically people have patience.

One day Bright Idea had a patient that had leprosy. If he had actually gone to med school, he would have been extremely cautious of where he was touching his patient. He checked the patient's head to toe. When he touched an open sore that the patient had. He had just gotten the disease. He did what he did best. He pulled out animal organs and told the patient he was healed. The patient already saw a doctor and you know the rest. He was healthy in a few months and thanked Bright Idea for healing him faster. Sci-Twi what do you know about leprosy.

"Historically it was believed that leprosy was contracted through sexual contact. We now know that is not the case. It is actually quite hard to get. Typically, it is caught through nasal droplets or an open sore in the skin. Once the leprosy bacteria enter the skin it starts to multiply very fast."

A month after Bright Idea worked on that patient the bacteria were multiplying in Bright Idea's body. Bright Idea closed his phony psychic surgeon idea and began to show the first symptoms of leprosy. Sci-Twi you have something to add.

"You don't die from leprosy itself. You die from the side effects that leprosy causes. This individual's blood had become so thick that he began to start forming blood clots."

Finally, after two months Bright Idea took his money and decided to see a doctor sadly. The blood clots he formed finally stopped his heart and...

*Plop*

He landed on the floor and never made it outside of his house.

Bright Idea was a fake. He had a black heart and stole from the people that were desperate. However, karma got to him for tricking people. He should have done some fake surgery on himself...What's up, doc?
