Description

Entity 13HRP – 0036, designated Doctor Richard, manifests as a human male who appears to be in his late 40s. At first glance, he resembles an ordinary physician: he wears a white coat, a neat tie, and maintains a calm demeanor paired with a reassuring smile. His medical practice seems conventional and legitimate, featuring sterile halls, framed degrees, and polite staff. Patients frequently describe him as “the perfect doctor.” His mannerisms, speech patterns, and subtle gestures generate trust immediately, encouraging compliance before treatment occurs. His presence alone seems to ease patient fears, and the atmosphere within his office radiates calm control. Visitors often note that the ambient sounds of his clinic—clocks ticking, air systems humming—become muted in his presence, as though his influence subtly reshapes the environment. Some report that even their own breathing feels quieter when seated across from him, as if respiration itself bends to his aura.

Longevity and Records

Closer investigation quickly reveals the anomaly of Doctor Richard. Records confirm he has practiced medicine for at least 113 years without aging. Employment files, licenses, and old newspaper clippings list him under the same name and appearance. Each set of documents contains subtle inconsistencies, such as mismatched dates, altered addresses, or references to institutions that no longer exist. Scholars compare these discrepancies to fractured timelines, suggesting his presence leaves overlapping historical echoes. Archivists even claim that records vanish, only to reappear altered in small but significant ways.

Photographs intensify the mystery. Many images show him standing in the background of unrelated medical events, unchanged across decades. His apparent immortality raises doubts about whether he is bound by linear time. Interviews with patients collapse into paradox. Some recall miraculous recoveries, while others cannot remember visiting him at all. Families describe memories that fade or rearrange themselves in the weeks after treatment. In some cases, individuals insist they were never ill, yet recall vivid conversations with him—conversations no one else can verify.

Patient Accounts and Historical Sightings

Several cases involve individuals denying ever entering his practice, even while holding prescriptions signed in his name. Records place him at outbreaks or hospital crises decades apart, his appearance untouched by time. Historians claim to have identified him in sketches from centuries earlier, wearing attire consistent with the period but with unchanged features. Unverified reports suggest his presence during the Great Fire of London, the Spanish flu, and smaller village epidemics never officially catalogued. Witnesses consistently describe the same calm, surgical presence and his cryptic reassurances whispered to the dying. Oral traditions in rural areas even reference “the white-coated man,” a figure linked to both miraculous cures and unexplained deaths.

Anomalous Practices

13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard delivers treatments that succeed regardless of method. Observers have seen him prescribe sugar water, conduct surgeries without incisions, or heal with a single touch. Each instance results in apparent recovery. Yet other cases produce catastrophic side effects. Patients report organs reshaped into unfamiliar structures, compulsive rituals such as endlessly taking their own pulse, or dissociation from their physical bodies. Some claim their dreams shift after treatment, filled with medical imagery beyond explanation. Others describe the rhythmic tapping of surgical tools echoing in their sleep, as though hidden procedures replay within their subconscious. Patients also develop sudden cravings for antiseptic smells, or compulsions to sterilize their surroundings repeatedly.

Compulsion and Future Illnesses

Many patients describe a relentless compulsion to return to 13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard, even when they believe themselves healthy. Some reenact bizarre medical procedures upon themselves, imitating his methods. He also demonstrates knowledge of illnesses not yet classified by modern medicine. Terms such as “future fevers” and “hollow growths” appear in his vocabulary long before medical recognition. Several documented cases show patients developing symptoms decades after his treatment, suggesting manipulation of disease timelines. Families often observe generational effects: grandchildren manifest conditions seemingly planted during a grandparent’s consultation. In some instances, surgical scars inexplicably reappear across bloodlines.

Researchers argue he may not simply heal or harm, but rewrite a patient’s biological destiny. Witnesses describe his voice as “a scalpel for thought,” capable of cutting away fear or, more chillingly, removing parts of personality. Prolonged exposure leads patients to mimic his cadence, vocabulary, and gestures. Families report loved ones growing unnervingly calm, speaking in clipped medical jargon as if channeling him.

Verbal Influence

Rarely, listeners perceive additional layers within his speech, as if hidden instructions emerge between syllables. These often drive compulsive behaviours: obsessive note-taking, repeating phrases aloud, or resisting sleep. One subject filled hundreds of pages with indecipherable diagrams, later resembling organ systems rearranged in unfamiliar ways. Another carved anatomical shapes into walls, claiming his voice demanded a “new textbook for the future.” Entire wards have been documented chanting his phrases in unison, despite no direct encounter with him.

Observed Effects

Patients express overwhelming trust in Doctor Richard, even when danger is evident.
After treatment, some develop phobias of hospitals, syringes, or mirrors.
Autopsies reveal organs etched with symbols or folded into anatomical diagrams.
Surveillance footage distorts during his presence; recordings capture faint heartbeat rhythms.
Long-term patients display shifts in handwriting, speech, or identity, as if overwritten.
Patients often return without recalling why, describing their journey as “automatic.”
Extended exposure produces humming of rhythmic patterns identical to audio distortions.
Families note conversations adopting his vocabulary and clinical tone.
Children mimic surgeries in games or repeat his catchphrases word-for-word.
Shadows in his office misalign with his body, resembling skeletal diagrams or distorted instruments.
Charts in his clinic rewrite themselves with impossible conditions in his handwriting.
Walls sometimes pulse faintly, as though the office itself is alive.
Some witnesses hear faint lullabies humming from vents, with no clear source.

Incident Note: Ward 17 Collapse

During the Ward 17 Collapse, witnesses reported that 13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard walked calmly through falling debris. His coat remained unstained, and his posture never faltered. Survivors remember him saying: “You are already healed.” Shortly after, those survivors were found lifeless in their homes, preserved in pristine condition, as if embalmed. Families swore they saw them moving days later, though autopsies confirmed otherwise.

Examinations revealed organs restructured into perfect textbook diagrams, preserving the idea of health rather than its reality. Clocks within the hospital froze during his presence, resuming only once he departed. Ink inside medical logs vanished, then reappeared once he was gone. Operating instruments aligned themselves into symmetrical arrangements without human intervention.

Secondary Phenomena During Collapse

Additional anomalies compounded the event. Medical texts spontaneously reorganised to highlight anatomical diagrams matching autopsy findings. Operating machinery powered on unaided. Staff heard faint whispers in his voice circulating through intercom systems long after he had left. Figures resembling his silhouette appeared at windows before vanishing when approached. Patients in nearby wards recited fragments of medical jargon in unison before collapsing unconscious. Emergency lighting pulsed in rhythms echoing heart monitors, spreading across entire hospital wings.

Containment Protocols

No facility has contained Doctor Richard successfully. Field agents must restrict interactions to minimal acknowledgment and never accept treatment, prescriptions, or advice from him. Any staff exposed to his care must be quarantined, monitored for restructuring, and catalogued in the False Recovery Index.

Experimental memetic countermeasures are under development, though inconclusive. Documentation takes priority over confrontation, as physical restraint always fails. Cameras malfunction, doors unlock, and restraints loosen in his presence. Containment logs sometimes vanish entirely, leaving only corrupted fragments. Entire medical wings once dedicated to his study have collapsed overnight, seemingly erased from within. Survivors often spoke in his cadence for weeks before gradually recovering.

Shifting Office Locations

Attempts to dismantle or relocate his practice consistently fail. The office reforms itself elsewhere or reappears intact. Witnesses confirm it can be accessed through doors in unrelated hospitals, suggesting manipulation of spatial dimensions. When the office disappears, it leaves behind the smell of formaldehyde and fragments of incomplete notes. In rare cases, corridors fold into endless loops, always leading to his office at the center. Staff report hearing typewriter echoes in these loops, though no devices exist.

Notes

The Hollow Reality Project continues to debate Doctor Richard’s classification. Some view him as a benefactor anomaly, citing survival rates that exceed those of ordinary physicians. Others argue he is a memetic contagion, redefining treatment as a psychological weapon. Many suspect he manipulates both health and disease, creating the very conditions he later “cures.” Some theories claim he cultivates hope and despair alike as tools of influence. Others suggest his power feeds on belief itself, growing stronger through patient trust.

Interpretations and Theories

If true, 13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard is less a healer and more an architect of controlled suffering. His repeated presence at historical health crises—from pandemics to hospital fires—reinforces suspicions that he acts as a catalyst rather than a savior. His case remains one of the most dangerous paradoxes in the Hollow Reality Project’s archive.

Some investigators propose that he is connected to a broader network of anomalies, functioning as a node of influence that distorts medicine and survival. Analysts argue he may not be a single entity at all, but part of a distributed anomaly operating through one figure. Others speculate he embodies the authority of medicine itself, a living construct shaped by collective belief in doctors. His influence may extend into cultural concepts of health and recovery, affecting societies with no direct encounter.

Until confirmed, Doctor Richard’s classification remains provisional. His file is mandatory reading for senior containment staff. His story continues to shape policy, and his myth grows stronger with every unexplained appearance. The Hollow Reality Project warns: engaging Doctor Richard risks not only life, but the foundations of medical understanding itself.
