During our graduation hiking trip, my roommate Quentin Lowe insisted on taking an unmarked trail. He fell and broke his leg, then begged me, a medical student, to set the bone and give him first aid. Just as I opened my first aid kit to stabilize his broken leg, a voice suddenly sounded in my head. "I'm you, ten years from now. Don't touch his leg! That damn Quentin had already bought a huge insurance policy. He chose this cliff on purpose so you'd treat him. "Then he'll accuse you of practicing medicine without a license, leaving him permanently disabled! "He'll demand $450,000 from you. You'll lose your right to practice medicine for life. In the end, his whole family will push you to the point of jumping off a building!" When Quentin saw me frozen in place, he grabbed my hand and pressed it hard against his broken leg. "What are you waiting for? Do something!" The voice in my head spoke up again. "Forget him and get down the mountain! His parents are already waiting outside the hospital at the foot of the mountain with a group of people. They're planning to extort money from you!" I shuddered. Quentin's urgency was definitely out of character. I slung my hiking pack over my shoulders and walked away without hesitation.

The joint statement sent shock waves across the internet.Insurance fraud?A criminal investigation?How had Quentin Lowe, the crying "victim" from before, suddenly become a criminal suspect?Everyone was stunned.While the internet was still reeling in shock and confusion, I finally made my move after staying silent for days.I posted a video on the school forum and major social media platforms using accounts bearing my real name.It was first-person footage taken with the tiny hidden camera on Quentin's chest.The video began with Quentin and Hugo talking in secret."Quentin, are you really going through with this? That's a steep cliff. What if you fall and get seriously hurt?" Hugo asked."What are you afraid of?" Quentin replied. "I've checked it out. From this height, I'll break a bone at most! I've already paid off a few thugs. "They'll pretend to be hikers and pressure that idiot Max into helping me!"In the video, Quentin's arrogant voice came through loud and clea

Three days later, news of Quentin's amputation spread across the school forum.People shared several exaggerated versions of what had happened, but they all blamed Hugo's recklessness and my so-called "heartless indifference".Hugo's parents stepped in at once. Their family had some influence in town and owned several midsize businesses. They refused to let Hugo take all the blame.In response, the Judd family sued Quentin.They claimed he had deliberately set a trap near the cliff and misled Hugo. As a result, Hugo had tried to "save a life" without knowing all the facts and had made a mistake while giving aid.The two families had become bitter enemies.When Quentin's parents realized they couldn't push the Judd family around, they set their sights on me again, assuming I would be an easy target.They went to my dorm and scrawled "Cold-Blooded Killer Max Carter" and "A Life for a Life" all over the walls in red paint.They even put up huge posters portraying me as a heartle

Since I was injured, too, I was flown by rescue helicopter to the hospital at the foot of the mountain.The wound on my palm was deep, the doctor debrided it and gave me five stitches. I also had a severe soft tissue contusion on my knee.After my wounds were bandaged, I limped out of the ER and saw what was happening in the hospital lobby.A dozen or so people stood in the middle, looking furious as they held up a white banner with black writing on it.The banner read, "Heartless Medical Student Refuses to Save a Life! Give My Son His Leg Back!"I recognized the middle-aged couple at the front right away. They were Quentin's parents. I had seen their photos on his social media.They had clearly planned this in advance.They had been waiting for me to come down the mountain so they could confront me and extort money from me.Their malicious plan wiped out the last bit of sympathy I had for them.They hadn't heard that Quentin would need an amputation.
