Best Friend - Episode 25

 

THANKS TO ALL THOSE THAT READ AND COMMENTED.
OKAY LETS MAKE THE LAST EPISODE A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDING. THANKS.

Doctor Adewale Stephen Agboola, a graduate of the class of 1990 Harvard Medical School (HMS) is best described as a genius, a human with super human abilities in the field of neurosurgery and advanced mental health. Been unsurprisingly the best graduating student in his class, he remained overseas to practice his profession, performing many successful mind bugling operations at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital where he was chief neurosurgeon. 
After thirty long years of a successful career he decided to retire back to his home country Nigeria, he felt he had to contribute his quarter to his father's land that had just 2 neurosurgeons, it was a hard long battle to retire home but he did succeed and retired back home.

Life in Nigeria was much different, the hospitals were poor, way to poor to fully maximize his potentials but all the same he was celebrated and worshiped like a god, his goodness, humility, generous and charming nature endeared him to all especially those at the National hospital Abuja where he worked.

 Doctors from all over the country came to seek his advice which always turned out to be the best . With his personal earnings, he went as far as providing some machines shifted from overseas to ease the job.

All went well until he came up with a theory he had worked on for years, a theory that could change the world as we know it

. Dr Wale believed that a persons memory can be tampered with, his theory was that one could create or rather install new memories in a persons brain without the person actually living those memories and that he could also redefine a memory altering it from what it originally was. His sole intent was to help traumatized patients by replacing the bad memory with a good one or by altering the memory in such a way that the scene of events would change in their mind.

While growing up as a young child he was sexually molested,several times he was Sodomized by his step father, a memory that forever hunts him,still giving him night mares even after decades, a memory he so wished he could not just wipe off but alter in a way he would get the kind of justice he deserved without having to face justice himself. This was his greatest motivation, his reason for acquiring degrees in neurosurgery and psychology, and also for been very good at these fields.

Dr Wale was and still is a noted daredevil. Before a medical conference in Spain once, he’d stripped off his jacket and mixed it up with the toros in the bullring — Wale liked risky surgeries, too, and had jumped onto the lobotomy bandwagon early in his career. It was because of his risk taking he had gotten so far in his career, daring to do the operations nobody else would even think of accepting and this time he was ready to take the biggest risk by pulling all his weight into his thesis.

The hospital soon discovered that he secretly used patients for experiments without consent, after several warnings and slaps on the wrist they had to let him go. It was then he decided to venture into the unknown, he left the hospital but not without dragging along a handful of the best psychiatrics, nurses and doctors.

. He set up a facility in a remote village in western Nigeria with the most modern equipments money could buy,where he secretly carried out his experiments. On plain sight, the facility was just a mental home where mentally derailed were treated but it had an underground highly restricted building where the real experiments where carried out. 

First he worked on rats, then on monkeys all giving huge success stories. Next he tried man using some of his patients which ended up unsuccessful many times, the mental states of the patients did not help give clear analysis.

After many unsuccessful tries, frustration set in, he had spent so much to achieve so little. Finance had dried up, he was on the point if quitting when hope came from nowhere.

A convoy of flashy tinted black cars drove into the facility that night and out came hefty men dressed in black and armed with guns. In no time they had gathered all the workers together and demanded for the boss. Dr Adewale bodly came out challenging them for badging into his facility. He was bundled up,blindfolded and thrown in one of the vehicles and driven to an unknown location where he was surprised to meet a group of five of the highest political powers in the country. The men that said words and the words were law.

To his surprise they told him of how they have been following the progress of his experiments and at this point would like to help sponsor him with whatever resources he desires but on the conditions that if caught they would remain anonymous and when he succeeds they will use his findings for whatsoever they wished. He very well knew they would misuse it, that's what always happens, the scientists creates and the politicians turns it into a tool for destruction but been desperate and knowing refusal would mean death since he had seen all their faces he quickly accepted.

 That was six years ago and still he had no success and the pressure from his sponsors was beginning to mount.
When things seemed to be crashing a young man contacted him, a young man that worked in the national hospital he was dismissed from offering to work with him and provide him a patient. Even after denying knowledge of what the young man spoke about, he was later convinced, a decision he is very thankful for.

The young man in his directions found his way to the facility and into the underground building that was now heavily guarded with heavily armed men and doors with key cards. The young man introduced himself as Kunle and brought in an unconscious patient that he later identified as Alfred.

Today after many years of hard work that patient, Alfred, that was brought in two years ago showed great potential in achieving his dream and five days from now was the day of the final test.
