”Mostly. Why is everyone I know so nosy? Call the OR, will you? And quit worrying about me and my horse or anything else that’s bothering you.” I twist the axis control on the imaging console and the combat vet’s brain pivots 90 degrees.
”Zen mind, of course.” Cassie nods an affirmative and together we stare into the scan that captured lightning strikes of neural activity and frozen them in time. ”I’m impressed with our combat veteran. He came a bit more alive overnight.”
”I wonder if he dreams now?” Her voice drifting in awe, as we leave the room.
Operating suite 5A
Four hours later –
People say surgeons, like fighter pilots, are born not made. It’s an interesting theory. There’s something to having top notch skills and performing perfectly under pressure. Parts of it can be learned. I certainty didn’t pick up a micro laser in med school and begin neurosurgery, but I do have the hands, the coordination and the patience for it. I also have something else. An innate, perhaps empathic sense that guides me more than my surgical skill does to heal a damaged human brain.
Along the edges of crossword puzzles I finish I unconsciously doodle intricate multi-dimensional shapes I’ve never seen before. They look like super cones or tubes with interlocking prisms, and for the life of me, I don’t know their meaning is – yet.
What I do know is that I’ve had great success with simple geometric shapes and implanting these as functioning electrical web arrays. They sync with the patient’s brain wave patterns and they heal.
My surgery plan today is to go behind the eye and enliven the optic nerve clusters by connecting them with different synaptic groupings deeper into the brain.
Now that the patient’s brain has been opened I slide a micro thin probe by his left optic nerve and nod for Cassie to send through a pulse. ”Let’s start low at 15 ef hertz and move up from there.”
Cassie waits by the pulse stimulator as we both watch the tiny wire I’m guiding slide past the optic nerve shown on the screen next to my left shoulder. ”It’s live at 15 for you Dr Porter.”
”Send the pulse please.”
A second monitor registers the patient’s brain activity in reaction to the tiny jolt of electricity I gave him. ”Okay. That’s a good position for the right side. Now going into the patient’s left side. Across the operating table nearer to Cassie is the screen that shows the second microfiber I’m pushing slowly into his brain behind his eye. ”Fifteen for each in sync this time.”

Loving this story so far!
Thanks Tee! I’ve got to get Dr Porter all tangled up with the spies and then satisfy her with a date with the journalist. Anything in particular you’d like to see unfold in this thriller?
I love the serious side of Bette as well as her occasional uptightness but I also love when she has fun and turns on that charm that the ladies love so much.
Welcome back Command:
I like very much your story; it is very much your style, I was missing it; the thematic is excellent and I think the story is very promising; thank you so much for bringing this (the topic) here. I will be waiting for a sooner update. Thanks again

Dear Proteonomics,
My thanks for your welcome back and appreciation of the complex theme. I’m making plotting notes for the next chapter and beyond.
Very disappointing story.
I’m so happy to see you post again .I love your stories and this looks like its going to be another great story. Please post soon .
Hiya Don70,
It’s enjoyable to get back to fiction writing. I’ve missed it terribly! Feels good to vent through Bette, too. As has been said many times in the American media of late, no one can believe the unravelings of this administration and to write it as a political thriller, no one would believe it. Then I thought – Well, I can come up with something that Bette would enjoy a romp through. Believable or not, I’m delighted you’re enjoying the tale so far!
Thanks for the new story. I’m intrigued because I do believe trump is crazy. Looking forward to more
WKM, Agreed! While on a recent bike ride Trump’s escalating non compos mentis was unnerving to envision so, I gave the case to Dr Porter. We’ll do less brain surgery in the next chapter and more action. So far, we have a brilliant doctor, a black horse, an able trusted assistant and a crush on a TV pundit. I think I can shake and stir that into something interesting!
My thanks for your comment!
Welcome back and wow, with a story involving Bette and a Black horse, both dear to me. That and a Tv pundit who she has a crush on and the Trump character who is crazy and not alone in fiction, is a very interesting mix for a fantastic story!
I am happy that you are back!
Looking forward to the next update!
Nice to see you too!
We’re in sync on Bette needing a dark horse as a friend. I have a wonderful picture of Nightingale we’ll see in the next chapter…coming soon.
I was particularly focused on the breaking news from Capitol Hill yesterday and it couldn’t possibly have been any stranger, except of course today it is!
Upcoming, Doctor Porter has some interesting thoughts on mental psychosis. I hope you’ll find those and more interesting.
You’re back! And with a bang! Looking forward to chapter 2. I think I see how our neuroscientist comes to cross paths with a political reporter. ;)
How clever of you! One hopes their meeting involves a bang as well!
Very, very interesting story, please post more. Okay, how the heck did they know Bette had a theory about the President-elect. She only talked to Cassie about it, then whispered in the man’s ear with him unconscious. I want more of this story. Please post more. Thanks.
Delighted you’re engaged and hoping for more. We go into theories in Chapter Two. I hope you find her delivery amusing. I’ve written most of the next chapter and plan to post before dark CST time.
