Pauline's origin of her mental problems? *spoilers*
Just watched it and it was a disturbing movie. I remember Pauline had a form of herpes on her face because of her father having it and giving her mouth to mouth from the incident in the pool. She felt like she looked like a freak to others. But having fantasies about lots of blood and going into peoples bodies making her wanting to become a surgeon. Wonder how that started. Wish there was more about her youth to find the cause of those fantasies. When Pauline overheard her mother say she didn't love her and want her to not be in the house anymore just made her sink deeper into despair and psychosis. Pauline thought she could make it all better by performing a lung transplant saving her sister and having her parents love her very much for it. It's unfortunate her sister's condition worsened before Pauline's appointment with the psychiatrist. I'm sure her parents would have had Pauline examined long ago but postponed it as a last resort because of money. They weren't poor enough to get free help or rich enough to easily afford it.
