psychic surgery

Psychic surgery is one form of faith healing that has been very popular in third world countries where health care is not readily available. The Philippines and Brazil are the two locations where this form of "medicine" originated. The so called father of this operation is Alex Orbito from the Philippines. Alex runs his fingers over the patient where their reported pain is. After discreetly squirting animal blood hidden in his palm, he pretends to pull the "tumor" out of the non-existent cut. These tumors are actually chicken livers and hearts that are also hidden away in Mr. Orbito's hand. Once the tumors are removed he pulls his hands away, wipes the blood away, and reveals an untouched, unscathed stomach. Alex Orbito's tactics are morally wrong. He gives a false sense of hope to people who are possibly on the death bed. This lack of ethics just to make some easy money is despicable and deplorable.
