You'd never have a quiet moment. Scientists would want to study you. Everyone else would be demanding you heal them. People would be climbing over your walls to get to you. ... You'd be a freak in high demand... The money angle seems all wrong...
@Screenwriter that's where regularly changing my identity comes in. Trivial with all my cash, and my healing persona could be in a distinct outfit that hides me from head to toe.
You are nutty, but sweet. I'm more practical. And changing identity would be less and less fun over time. So you're going to be healing Spiderman. Might work. Or Batman, or some such superhero... Maybe...
@Screenwriter now you're getting it. I could use the fame and money to heal more than just one person a day, my influence as an over the top hero itself could direct society towards much needed change.
Imagine if I cured specific CEOs and politicians of their sociopathy and other ills too and got them on my side.. with superpowers you gotta think *BIG*.
WAIT JUST A MINUTE JUX!! The point is you can ONLY HEAL ONE PERSON A DAY. That is the scenario. Hiding your identity does not give you the power to heal more than one. It's one and one only. Don't get your scenario mixed up!
This makes the gift MOST PROBLEMATICAL. Hiding your identity makes sense, though. The point is, I think most folks don't get that you HAVE to hide your identity and your skill or it'd be like you'd won the lottery.
States now hide the identity of lottery winners because of the problems THEY encountered when their names were published. Loads of letters, email requests, etc from people who want money. MISERY.
Sure, if you win 100M after taxes, you can give loads of folk stuff. But it all has to be PARCELED OUT CAREFULLY. Just like the healing would have to be. Incognito... Kisses!
@Screenwriter what I meant is I can use my influence as a whole and don't have to rely on just the healing power. The healing power would just be once a day ALWAYS buuuut the influence I would gain from such an ability would not be limited in the same way. I can use social and societal influence as often as I am able.
And the flip side of that is what I'm saying. The societal pressures would be enormous to "find you out" and use you. It's like winning the lottery. If you let everyone know, you'll be pestered to death. Tested to death. Poked and prodded to find out how you tick... shhhhhhh. Kisses!

Tell them that they are about to die
Chose B. I'm not an altruist for almost everyone.
I would make money off of it.
