Proposal: Tautologies and contradictions show that they say nothing

enact a rule called "Tell me Your Problems" that says

As it turns out, one of the researchers is actually a psychiatrist who was sent for the purposes of treating such rampant Antarctic mental disorders as: depression and suicide ... and well, Hersch. The psychiatrist is appointed by the Radio but must be an individual of impecable self-esteem (must have a Hersch value of 0). Due to his/her extensive training in the medical and psychological fields the psychiatrist is immune to any increase in Hersch value (except those brought on by diseases). If the psychiatrist's Hersch does manage to raise above zero then he/she may not practice psychiatry until it is once again reduced to zero. Because he/she has taken the Hippocratic Oath the psychiatrist is prohibited from picking up weapons. If the psychiatrist does pick up a weapon then he/she is demoted by the Radio back to researcher.

A researcher that is not the psychiatrist may be healed of his/her Hersch by remaining in the same room with the psychiatrist. For every six hours they are in the same room as the psychiatrist their Hersch is reduced by 1 point.

The Radio may not appoint a Thing to be the psychiatrist.

If the psychiatrist becomes a Thing then his/her abilities and responsibilities remain unaltered.

The psychiatrist shall be denoted with a "+" next to their name.
