When he sees that someone is hurt, he has the same neurons activated as the sufferer, and the person does not just understand that the other is hurt, he physically begins to experience this pain. Scientists say that this mechanism can be adjusted. Not always a person should feel someone else's pain. So, a surgeon with such sensations will not be able to work normally.
