The operation to take away the electroshock device was done by Roland's personal doctor, who was a man involved in the Jewish mafia in his youth back in the 1930s. His name was Dr. Meyer Rothstein, and he was already 81 years old.
He was imprisoned but received early parole thanks to Roland's grandfather. Because of his gratitude to the Faust family, he had served as Mr. Faust's physician and eventually Roland's.
They lost contact 10 years ago, but Roland only trusted this old man to keep the secret about his friend and the mermaid. And so he called him back all the way from his house in Chicago to perform the surgery.
Harker became a bit worried about the aged man handling the scalpels that will cut his and Princess Jinzhu's stomachs. Dr. Rothstein adjusted his glasses, and one of his eyes was already ridden with cataracts.
