House of Healing [Examination Theater]

We venture into the heart of modern medical marvels: the Examination Theater.

Today, I stand among a crowd of onlookers perched in tiered seating that encircles a grand operating theater. Below us, the head healer, whom the locals simply call “the Doctor,” is poised to demonstrate his surgical mastery on a large table at the center of the room. The space is intimate, with each whisper and clink echoing off the walls, yet it exudes grandeur, reminiscent of a stage set for a critical performance.

As the Doctor proceeds, his hands move with a precision that captivates the audience. His techniques are not just innovative—they are revolutionary, blending age-old practices with avant-garde methods that push the boundaries of traditional medicine—effagies and scalpel and all. Each cut and stitch is a testament to his prowess, drawing murmurs of awe from the viewers above.
