The Four Patients of Dr. Num

What if influence were guided not by fear, but by awareness?

In The Four Patients of Dr. Num, four men at the height of power undergo an unexpected experience that compels them to confront something rarely measured in politics, business, or science: the emotional consequences of their actions.

The transformation that follows is neither magical nor simplistic. It is deliberate. It is ethical. And it raises a profound question: can societies shift when individuals choose responsibility over reaction?

Through a narrative that blends introspection and social reflection, Rodney B. Vilanova invites readers to consider their own role in the dynamics of division, polarization, and collective healing.

Because change does not begin in institutions.

It begins in conscience.
