13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0036, called Doctor Richard, looks like a human male in his late 40s. At first sight, he appears to be a normal doctor: he wears a white coat, a neat tie, and speaks with calm assurance. His clinic seems ordinary, with clean halls, framed degrees, and polite staff. Patients often describe him as “the perfect doctor.” His voice, gestures, and smile inspire trust, making people agree to treatment quickly. Moreover, his presence alone seems to calm fear, and the clinic grows unnaturally quiet when he enters. Even breathing feels softer around him, as though the air itself bends to his influence.
Longevity and Records
Deeper review shows the anomaly. Records prove he has practiced medicine for more than 113 years without aging. Licenses, job files, and news articles all show the same man with the same face. However, dates and details often clash, with addresses or schools that no longer exist. Researchers compare these errors to broken timelines, as though his presence bends history. Archivists even claim files vanish, only to reappear changed.
Photos strengthen the mystery. In many, he stands in the background of medical events, unchanged for decades. His immortality suggests he does not follow normal time. Patient interviews collapse into contradictions. For example, some recall quick cures, while others cannot recall meeting him at all. Families sometimes forget illnesses but remember speaking with him, even when no one else agrees.
Patient Accounts and Historical Sightings
Some patients deny visiting his clinic, though they hold prescriptions signed by him. Records place him at outbreaks or hospital disasters across centuries. Reports even show his likeness in older drawings, always unchanged. In addition, unverified claims tie him to the Great Fire of London, the Spanish flu, and village epidemics never listed in history. Witnesses always describe the same calm figure, offering strange reassurances to the sick and dying. Folklore in some regions speaks of “the man in the white coat,” linked to both cures and deaths.
Anomalous Practices
13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard heals patients by any means. He has been seen giving sugar water, cutting without making wounds, or touching someone to cure them. Each case seems successful. Yet some results are disturbing. For instance, organs change shape, patients repeat odd rituals like checking their pulse endlessly, or they feel split from their bodies. Many dream of medical scenes they cannot explain. Others hear the tapping of surgical tools in sleep, as if unseen procedures repeat inside them. Furthermore, some develop cravings for antiseptic smells or compulsion to clean rooms again and again.
Compulsion and Future Illnesses
Patients often feel driven to return to him, even when healthy. Some copy his strange methods on themselves. He also speaks of diseases not yet known, using terms like “future fevers” long before science does. As a result, some families show strange legacies, with illnesses appearing in children long after a grandparent saw him. In some cases, scars appear across generations without cause.
Researchers argue he does more than heal or harm. They believe he rewrites a patient’s future. His voice is described as “a scalpel for thought,” removing fear or cutting away parts of the mind. Prolonged exposure leads patients to copy his way of speaking and moving. Families report their loved ones becoming cold, clinical, and unsettling.
Verbal Influence
At times, hidden commands seem to hide in his words. These drive odd actions: endless writing, repeating phrases, or refusing to sleep. For example, one patient filled notebooks with strange drawings of rearranged organs. Another carved anatomy into walls, claiming his voice asked for a “new textbook.” Entire wards have chanted his words together, even without direct contact.
Observed Effects
- Patients trust Doctor Richard even when danger is clear.
- Some develop fear of hospitals, needles, or mirrors.
- Autopsies reveal organs reshaped with symbols or folded like diagrams.
- Cameras distort in his presence; faint heartbeats appear on recordings.
- Long-term patients adopt his handwriting, tone, or mannerisms.
- Patients return without knowing why, saying the journey felt “automatic.”
- Extended exposure causes humming patterns like audio feedback.
- Families report conversations shifting into his clipped, clinical tone.
- Children mimic surgeries in games, repeating his phrases.
- Shadows in his office bend into skeletal forms or tools.
- Charts rewrite themselves with impossible conditions.
- Walls sometimes pulse as if alive.
- Lullabies echo from vents with no source.
Incident Note: Ward 17 Collapse
During the Ward 17 Collapse, 13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard walked calmly through debris. His coat stayed clean, his step steady. Survivors recall him saying: “You are already healed.” Soon after, those survivors were found lifeless, preserved as if embalmed. Families claimed to see them moving later, though autopsies proved death.
Organs were restructured into perfect textbook shapes, holding the idea of health rather than real function. Hospital clocks froze in his presence, restarting only after he left. Moreover, medical logs lost ink, regaining it once he was gone. Instruments aligned themselves into neat patterns without touch.
Secondary Phenomena During Collapse
Other events followed. Medical texts rewrote themselves with diagrams matching autopsy results. Machines turned on without power. Whispers in his voice echoed through intercoms after he left. Silhouettes in his shape appeared at windows, vanishing when staff approached. Patients in nearby wards repeated medical jargon in unison before fainting. In addition, emergency lights pulsed in rhythms like heart monitors across entire hospital wings.
Containment Protocols
No site has contained Doctor Richard. Staff must keep interaction brief and never accept care, medicine, or advice from him. Those exposed to his treatment must be quarantined, tracked, and listed in the False Recovery Index.
Memetic countermeasures are in progress but not reliable. Documentation takes priority over confrontation, as force never works. Cameras fail, doors unlock, and restraints fall open around him. Furthermore, logs disappear or return altered. Hospitals once built to study him have collapsed without cause, as if erased. Survivors often spoke in his style for weeks.
Shifting Office Locations
Efforts to destroy or move his clinic always fail. It rebuilds itself or reappears whole. Doors in random hospitals open directly into it, showing control of space. When it vanishes, it leaves the smell of formaldehyde and half-written notes. Sometimes hallways loop endlessly, always leading to his office. Staff hear typewriter clicks in these loops though no machines exist.
Notes
The Hollow Reality Project still debates his role. Some call him a helper, citing survival rates beyond normal doctors. Others see him as a disease of thought, using medicine as a weapon. Many suspect he creates the very conditions he later cures. In addition, some say he feeds on belief, growing stronger with patient trust.
Interpretations and Theories
If true, 13HRP – 0036 – Doctor Richard is less a healer and more an architect of suffering. His repeated role in health disasters, from plagues to fires, suggests he causes rather than cures. His case is one of the most dangerous in the Hollow Reality Project.
Some believe he connects to a wider network of anomalies, acting as a link that bends ideas of medicine and survival. Others suggest he is not one man but part of a larger force acting through him. Another theory proposes he is a living symbol of medicine itself, shaped by belief. Therefore, his power may reach even into societies that have never seen him.
Until proven, his label remains open. His file is required reading for senior staff. His story shapes policy, and his legend grows with each sighting. Consequently, the Hollow Reality Project warns: contact with Doctor Richard risks not only life, but the very idea of health itself.
