What would you do if you possess healing power like John Coffey in The Green Mile?

Not heal Vegeta after Kuririn blasted a hole through his chest.

I would try to heal myself first, to check if the power really worked.

I’d profit.

Even more important than curing people would be the requirement to keep my “powers” a closely guarded secret for as long as possible. In the movie, Coffey appears to suffer quite a bit when curing folks. So there would be my own health to consider, but more importantly the deluge of dangers if the word got out. Everything from mobs of desperate people to kidnapping plots by governments. If and when I did perform these “miracles”, I would probably devise some ruse passing myself off as a really good diagnostician rather than a miracle healer. The “cure” would vary with the individual. I would demand that this patient consume a bowl of carrots on the spot, while the next guy might have to drink tumblers of olive oil. I would also swear my “patients” to silence (probably to no avail). The ideal situation would be the ability to cure people without them having a clue that I had anything to do with it.

I’d heal all the sick and wounded animals of the world and the environment and let the evil humans perish. haha

Years ago when I watched the green mile I guessed that JC was Jesus Christ. He had the ability to heal and was executed too. I would heal as many people for room and board plus a little for luxuries like a pop and chocolate. Or by donation.

If I remember right it took a lot out of JC each time he healed someone. So it would be impossible for even JC to heal everyone.

I’d try to keep the healing powers a secret and just heal the sick folks that I know and not do too much harm myself in the presses.

@gondwanalon Good idea.

@stanleybmanly, good thinking. I am with you. I would do the same.

@Coloma you wouldn’t last a full day. The first predator to whom you restored a healthy appetite would dispatch you then go to work on your orphaned goose.

@stanleybmanly Aaah, but you underestimate my innovative nature. I would heal from inside a predator proof cage. haha
