Chapter #8
we had to use your brain and that of someone else.
by: Unknown
"What do you mean with that?" You ask the doctor afraid of what you're going to hear.
"Well it's quite easy my young man. Me and my friend doctor Saunders have been researching brain transplantation for the last twenty years now. Ah, the challenges we overcame, getting grands for our research, finding the right college students to work with. Those were the days." Dr. Kerry dreams off. Dr. Saunders coughs up, signaling Dr. Kerry to go on with his story.
"Right, right, we need to discuss your situation of course. You see when they brought you here, it seems a piece of glass had penetrated your brain. We were just walking by when my college noticed you and proposed a little scheme. Not that much later a second victim with also brain injuries was brought in and so we went to work." Dr. Kerry continues. "Our theory is that when a part of your brain would be removed and attached to the brain of another person it would heal itself, after which we could cut it off again and switch it back."
"So you're saying that part of my brain was somewhere else for a while." You summarize.
"Yes, there was only one tiny part of our theory we didn't work out as well." Dr. Kerry says scratching his cheek. You're beginning to feel sick, as something tells you that this tiny part would make a big deal for you.
"You see Tim, you're our first test subject so we didn't actually test it out before. Mind you, we would probably have done it either way. Now you don't have to look that scared, Tim. I know we didn't succeed completely, but if we wouldn't have done it you would be dead by now. Your brain couldn't be saved any other way."
"So what did you do?" You ask quickly noticing your voice sounds different somehow.
"We successfully finished the first part of our theory, we attached the part of the brain damaged inside your head to the brain of the other person and vice versa. The results were very good Tim, so good in fact that in just half an hour time the wounds were completely gone."
"That's sounds good, so what happened then?" You ask frighten.
"We have never seen this before, but when we were ready to cut out your part of the brain, we couldn't do it anymore."
"How so? Couldn't you have just used a bigger knife then?" You ask them trying to joke a little. Dr. Kerry instead shakes his head with a very serious expression in his face. "That was not the problem, the problem was that we couldn't cut your part off because it would mean you would die Tim. The gel me and Dr. Kerry developed can only be used once, after that it doesn't work anymore.
"So you're saying I'm inside this other person's body?" You ask. To your horror they both nod.
You feel your stomach turning now already, as you don't want to ask this next question but have to. "So in whose body am I now?"
