Synopsis

A man is severely handicapped. He doesn't have any psi talents when everybody in his family, and almost everyone in the world, has. He feels very useless, as there is no occupation he could manage to do. But then there is a war and he can easily treat wounded, as he doesn't feel what they feel. And it turns out he has a talent after all. But, finally, the wars end.
