How it tends to read
The through-line is hidden healing — the hundred physicians, working out of view. Strengths commonly noted: Solves problems others cannot diagnose; Comfortable working alone for long stretches; Sees systems and causes, not symptoms. The corresponding costs: Solitude hardens into isolation; Secrecy where openness would help; Slow to accept help in return.
