AI summary
A comedic Essence making you a combat medic whose healing detonates out of your body in waves rather than gently patching wounds, so that every strike you land forcibly restores the target while hurting them enormously. As an Iron Surgeon your fists double as scalpels, healing broken bones by breaking them better with the screaming treated as part of the process; Therapy by Trauma lets you slap, suplex and piledrive people into peak condition at the cost of giving everyone who trains with you both PTSD and abs; the Endless White Coat gives bottomless stamina and auto-regeneration that continues even while you are bisected, stabbed or on fire; and a Benevolent Tyrant's Aura ensures every enemy instinctively understands both that you are there to heal them and that they do not want it. The drawbacks are that actual healers despise you for dropkicking men into enlightenment after they spent years learning gentle spells, and that your patients never thank you so much as ask you to stop — you are an angel who arrives on the battlefield and beats the wounded back into life.

Description
You thought healing was soft. You thought healing was merciful. You thought wrong. You drank the Essence. Congratulations: you're now the proud inheritor of a medical tradition so cursed even the gods wash their hands of you. No longer are you a "healer." You're a combat medic in the same way a nuclear warhead is a "cooking fire."
Effects
1Healing Fist, Mercy Kick - Your healing doesn't patch boo-boos — it detonates out of your body in waves of muscular compassion. Every strike you land forcibly restores the target's body… while simultaneously pulverizing it into new and exciting shapes. Punch someone in the face? Their eyesight improves, their teeth regrow, and their jaw is now both perfectly aligned and broken in five places. Kick a man in the chest? Congratulations, you've jump-started his heart and collapsed both lungs. Hug someone? That's a full-body regeneration and chiropractic realignment, whether they want it or not.
The Path of Painful Mercy
Iron Surgeon – Your fists double as scalpels. You can "heal" broken bones by breaking them better. Don't worry, the screaming is part of the process.
Therapy by Trauma – Training is for cowards. You can slap, suplex, or piledrive people into peak condition. Side effect: everyone who trains with you develops PTSD and abs.
Endless White Coat – Your stamina is bottomless. Your body auto-regenerates even while bisected, stabbed, or set on fire. You will never be excused from morning training.
Benevolent Tyrant's Aura – Every enemy instinctively knows two things about you: 1) you're here to heal them, and 2) they don't want it. Terror ensures compliance.
Drawbacks
Demands Suffering - All actual healers despise you. They spent years learning gentle spells. You just dropkick a man into enlightenment. Your patients never say "thank you." They say "please stop." The Essence is unstealable, untradeable, and unalterable. It clings to you like scar tissue.
The Wrong Way Hero - You are not a medic. You are not a saint. You are a paradox in scrubs: the angel who arrives on the battlefield and beats the wounded back into the living. Wherever you go, you leave behind screaming, healthier soldiers and enemies who honestly would have preferred death. The world asked for a healer. It got you.
