So few people understand the human mind properly, so lamentably few. They try to control it, to twist it and bend it but don't know how to do it correctly without breaking the mind. They understand the brain but not the mind, they haven't the finesse to grasp the nuances, the parts of the mind we look away from and so they ignore them. They can change the brain but changing the mind is so much harder. They try and make it obey them but they can't do it without damaging the mind and what is damaged can't always be fixed. Fortunately the ones operating on River were slightly more able at this than the others but they still weren't good enough, they still broke her brain, not that I could have done any better but hopefully I would not have done at all. They took the Hippocratic Oath same as I did and they should never have broken it.
