Dr. Carl confronts Dr. Josh about a patient who supposedly underwent painless surgery but died a month ago from sudden organ failure. Determined to prove corruption, Dr. Carl learns the deceased contacted a reporter before dying and urges Dr. Josh to find him. The reporter, Toby Parker, initially skeptical, denies the claims but agrees to investigate after Dr. Josh insists she shares the same affliction—pain transferred from others’ surgeries. To prove the truth, Dr. Josh arranges for a trusted person to book an appointment with Dr. Leila Blake at Greenwood Hospital, hoping the confirmed injury will expose the malpractice.
