"Wait! Wait! Wait! Everyone has seen the video about this doctor, right?" A bald, Caucasian male vlogger's head appeared at the bottom of the screen, pointing to the photo of Shiller above him.
"As you all know, I am a health insurance manager, and I've dealt with many of the big hospitals on the East Coast, including the New York Elderly Association Hospital. When I heard the name Schiller Rodriguez, it sounded familiar, and guess what—"
With a wave of his hand, the image above him changed to a series of very complex data. He stretched out his hands and said, "Don't rush off, I think you'll see a familiar name in this field, yes, it's our very own Dr. Rodriguez."
"Considering that you are not professionals in the medical industry, let me introduce what his name appearing here means, as well as what kind of doctor he actually is."
"This is a list of academic research consultation personnel released by New York Elderly Association Hospital six months ago, mainly for the purpose of preparing for a very significant neurological surgery that took place a few months before; nearly all related departments were present."
"Of course, the part involving medical insurance claims was handled by a company I used to work for. Naturally, I didn't attend this meeting, but Dr. Rodriguez's name was on the list of attendees."
"We can clearly see the department where Dr. Rodriguez works and his responsibilities written on this entry. You might not understand what emergency psychological intervention means; simply put, it's a kind of..."
The bald man went on to explain the attributes and responsibilities of this medical department before saying, "Without a doubt, this can be considered one of the most stressful departments among the psychology and psychiatric departments; it's like the hospital's emergency room."
"Many may think of a psychologist as someone sitting comfortably in a room chatting with people, or even for psychiatric doctors, sitting in an office, prescribing medication to patients or making rounds."
"But I can assure you that's not what Shiller's department is like; they are on standby at all times to handle sudden psychological issues that may arise in any hospital department."
"This is actually quite common, right? Those who have been hospitalized may know that patients suffering physical trauma often experience psychological problems as well; people in car accidents may develop post-traumatic stress disorder, and those who are bedridden long-term might exhibit symptoms of depression. You might not have considered who helps them through these psychological issues."
"Now we have an answer: there are such groups of psychologists in the hospitals, doing work similar to that of emergency room doctors, ready to rush over and provide psychological counseling to patients from any department that encounters a problem."
"The focus of this video, and what I really want to emphasize, is that not just anyone can do this job," the bald man said, listing many photos and biographies. "As you can see, the New York Elderly Association Hospital only established this department in 2010, and in just eight years, it has become one of Elders Council Hospital's trump card departments."
"Apart from producing numerous research results related to emergency psychological plans, what's even more important is that they've saved a lot of lives."
"As is well-known, a good state of mind can help reduce the pain of illness, and importantly, it can save your life in critical moments. If you give up before everyone else, not even God can save you."
"The work of the doctors in this department, our Dr. Rodriguez included, is to help you through the hardship when you are suffering the deepest physical pain."
"Although I'm not a professional psychologist myself, just thinking about it, I can tell how difficult it is. I've lost my temper several times when ill; each time I reflect on it, I feel sorry, but I couldn't help it. How many people can?"
The man's video then shrank and paused, and another person appeared below him, sporting a beard and wearing a white coat. He said,
"Alright, I'm a psychologist, and let's talk about it. I haven't met Dr. Rodriguez, but we might be considered alumni."
"I'm not specialized in emergency psychological intervention, but please don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't want to do it, but rather I can't do it. I couldn't get through the initial screening, and naturally couldn't enter such a department."
"You might say it's because I am not adept enough at my craft but let me apologize, I excelled in all my subjects at school, received a full scholarship for four years, and graduated on time with two PhDs, one of which I completed in Germany."
"I'm not trying to boast about my excellence. I'm just saying that being able to work in this field doesn't relate to whether your professional skills are sharp."
"You might wonder, besides professional skills, what else is there to compete over? That's the tricky part about being a psychologist—besides professional excellence, we also need strong mental fortitude."
"You may have heard tales that psychologists must also have their own psychologists. This isn't a rumor; it's the reality. Any psychologist in practice must see their psychologist regularly. I saw mine just last week."
"The reason I couldn't get through the initial selection for the emergency psychological intervention department is because my mental fortitude was not strong enough, or rather, most people's mental strength isn't up to standard."
"At first, I didn't think this was a reason at all. I don't consider myself a weak person," the doctor said, patting his chest. "I'd already encountered numerous difficult patients during my internship, and I didn't think anyone could be tougher to handle than that."
"Until one day I witnessed the situation of one of my teachers, who did this kind of work. He dealt with a car accident victim, and tragically, the person's legs had to be amputated."
"You can't comfort someone like that," the psychologist spoke with a tone of despair and said, "Especially not after you've just broken the news to him, especially not when he's a soccer player, and especially not when his parents and newlywed wife all died in that car accident. How can you comfort a person like that?"
"I was just standing outside the ward when I heard the outcome, and I felt I couldn't accept it. I stood there for half an hour, feeling like no one in this world could accept such a tragedy, and that any attempt at consolation would seem like hollow words to him."
"I scoured all the professional knowledge in my head, and not one piece of it was effective. I couldn't utter a single sentence to keep him from despair, I was even afraid to push the door open and face him."
The doctor covered his eyes and after a long silence, finally said, "But my teacher went in. He knew what he might face, but he still went in."
"We all knew he couldn't reverse such a tragedy, he didn't even have the ability to make someone accept it, but he still had to go in, trying every possible way to keep such a desperate person alive."
"From then on I understood that although the work of a general psychologist also involves some emotional pressure, it is not nearly as outrageous as emergency psychological intervention, and I can't imagine the strength of character required."
"So everything depicted in that documentary is plausible," the psychologist remarked. "Or, to put it another way, for Schiller Rodriguez, handling these superheroes is probably like dealing with kindergarten children."
"There are no screams that seem to pierce your eardrums, no pungent smell of blood that seems to clog your nose, no despair that seems to fill the whole world; it's just verbal sparring and emotional flare-ups, which to him, must really feel like a vacation."
This video climbed to the top ten of trending searches in just three hours, and discussions about Schiller's profession also became hot topics.
Before this, most people just thought Schiller's demeanor resembled that of an average worker, as though there was a certain beauty to surviving amongst a bunch of lunatics.
But with the release of this video, people began to realize that being normal in the midst of lunatics is, in fact, quite rare, and it's because they have been through it that they understand.
Who hasn't thought about dealing with a crazy colleague by going mad themselves, who in this environment isn't consistently going mad? Who hasn't been driven insane by these annoying bosses and colleagues at some point?
But Schiller has always been stable from the beginning to the end, able to analyze the situation rationally, judge everyone's state objectively, and deduce the causes of various situations in people's lives from the superficial to the deep, providing some effective solutions.
Initially, people empathized with Schiller, feeling a sense of kinship in suffering, but now, upon reflection, if one were mixed in with such demons and ghosts, could one really be as stable and calm as him?
Of course not, some people would love to punch one of them through the screen, and if faced with them in person, to put it nicely, it would be raining fists; to put it more crudely, it would be an on-the-spot tantrum, madness stopping madness.
The doctor's video let people know why Schiller is so stable; it's because he has seen bigger scenes, and these superheroes' bickerings are like a scuffle between kittens and puppies to him—harmless and easily resolved.
Watching the show with this understanding, one could easily see a fatherly emotion in Schiller.
At the banquet, when Stark and Strange were arguing, Schiller occasionally nodded at Stark, agreeing with his perspective, while also looking at Strange, encouraging him not to take it to heart, and all the while continuing to dine methodically and calmly.
When Wanda and Polaris had a conflict, Schiller checked messages on his phone while drinking, even finding time to chat with Strange occasionally.
This kind of behavior is normal among ordinary people, after all, you can't do anything about these lunatics, thankfully they can't do much to you either, apart from watching indifferently, there's not much else you can do.
But don't forget, the demons and ghosts Schiller is dealing with are all Supermen, if they were to really erupt, destroying a city would be nothing to them. At that point, to have an indifferent, even gleeful, bystander would seem out of place.
Even if you step back ten thousand steps, at least you should worry a bit about your safety, right?
But there Schiller was, as steady as Mount Tai, seemingly confident that they wouldn't cause any trouble, and indeed, in the end, they didn't.
After realizing this, people understood that although Schiller looked like just an ordinary person, he was actually the one among them all who understood the situation most clearly.
Schiller's every move might represent the future direction of the situation. By paying attention to him, one could possibly untangle the complex relationships between the superheroes.
