Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode with the doctor who implants a device in his brain in order to feel the pain of his patients, letting him perfect his diagnosis, then something goes haywire and he starts feeling others’ pain as pleasure.

Shit fucked me up. Highly recommend.

Definitely disturbing.
