healing moral dilema

[mr friendly guy]

Since this OP was inspired from Roswell, you like the Roswell characters have to be physically touching the person, your hands starts glowing when you do (kind of a dead give away), and you will still have enough energy to make a run for it, but people have already seen your face.

The OP included the stipulation that there is a clear and undeniable sign left when you heal, so that it cannot be faked.

I smell 'no limits'.

There's no way I could pretend it was mundane recovery (eg pretend CPR)? Or pretend the injury not as bad as it looked or that the flashes of light (if it's that blatent) were the figments of someone's imagination? There's no way I could get him alone by myself and some trusted friends "He needs space"? No way of passing off the wittnesses as ignorant rubes and that modern first aid, while it looks magical isn't as in the above real life situation? There's no chance of glossing over some blatent effects? Like:

Them - "They say a light shone from the sky and a voice said, 'I Cthullu, heal this morsel'."
Me - "O come on. Pull the other one, it's got bells on. Someone has a hyperactive imagination, it was just a greenstick fracture."
Them - "Many people saw it."
Me - "Many people 'see' the Virgin Mary and Jesus on a regular basis. Havn't noticed the second coming, have you?"

Or say I use some high tech device which heals (and gives away that I'm not local), but is blatently high tech (little lights, odd shape, ACME logo). Can I not hide it in a bag? If it makes a wierd noise can I not have a boom-box?

How about I just accuse someone else of being the mystic healer? I was doing CPR and the wierd guy with the amulat did the glowy thing.

But if you say theres no way I can't fake, sham or talk my way out of it then I would immediatly request a transfer to a reality where more sensible rules apply.

Failing that I 'heal' all annoyances of their mitochondrial parasites until they stop.

So, with these parameters it ceases to be 'automatically discovered'.

I have an accompliace who 'panics' with a flashlight.
The same accompliace will swear that my hands didn't glow.
I carry some vials of 'joke paint' (which glows). "Oops, I was on my way to a party/kid's birthday/capping week. Some broke and it got on my hands."
I blow it off as people in a crisis situation coming up with wierd experiences. I was just doing CPR, checking him for injuries or whatever.
I use fake contacts, have my face scrunched up and have a fake tattoo in a prominant location.
I would have a medical degree, or be an ambulance worker, a nurse or someone else in the health profession if I had the power to heal people. I get to be an 'authority' witness at the scene of an accident.

"Glowy hands officer? It was my penlight as I examined the patient's throat for blockages."

"Yeah, yeah. My hands glowed officer. Sure. Your witness was 5 ft away and highly agitated. People panic. I can assure you that I was right there and would of noticed my hands glowing."

"My hand's glowed. Well, I'm good officer, but not that good. The victim had a mild concussion and a head wound. Now head wounds look bad because of all the small blood vessels near the skin, but he was fine. Just needed some room and air. Things only glow on star trek."

Well in the spirit of the OP was supposed to be so that its beyond your ability to fake it, but I realise some people would try to find loop holes in it.
