Transcript
| Hey! | |
| I just hooked the new patient up to the defibrillator and... | |
| Well, I've never seen anything like this before. | |
| His row... it's shorter than it should be! | |
| Whatever this patient went through, it must have been extremely rough. | |
| His heart is barely holding it together. | |
| [Mark] | ... |
| [Mark] | Hi there. That's, uh, an interesting way to greet a patient. Are you supposed to be the doctor on call today? |
| Well...I'm one of them, I guess. I'm Ian. | |
| [Mark (explaining)] | Nice to meet you. I'm Mark. |
| [Mark] | As you guessed, I've had some bad history with heart health. |
| [Mark (lookleft)] | And I feel like I should warn you...it tends to flare up even worse when I experience, um...moments of anxiety. It's a long story. |
| Good to know! I'll write that down for Dr Paige. (Managing patient anxiety is more her specialty.) | |
| Anyway! | |
| Intern, you know by now that the Rhythm Defibrillator is programmed to treat patients on the seventh beat. | |
| But given Mr Booker's current condition, it seems you'll be hitting on... | |
| ...beat five! | |
| [Mark (explaining)] | That's two less than seven! |
| Fantastic obervation, Mr Booker. | |
| [Mark] | Y'know, I've been to a lot of specialists. None have been able to make heads or tails of my symptoms. |
| [Mark] | Every prescription, every remedy...nothing's helped. So don't beat yourself up if you can't help either. |
| [Mark] | The only reason I decided to come to Middlesea Hospital is because I've heard you've got this new "experimental treatment". |
| [Mark (explaining)] | So give it a go, "intern". Let's test it out and see how it feels. I'm curious to see it up close. |
| Alright! Let's show him what rhythm defibrillation can do. This time, uh, with five beats! |
- No misses:
[Mark] ...I thought you said the intern had never tried this. Looks like they're a natural!
| Now, intern, one more thing... | |
| You've seen SVT beats that double and halve the tempo... | |
| But in rare cases, it might cut into thirds! | |
| It sounds scary, but if you let yourself feel the rhythm, it should come naturally. | |
| Let's give that a try while we're here. |
- Some misses:
Pretty good! That looked tricky.
| [Mark] | What a fascinating way to treat cardiac symptoms. |
| [Mark] | And in the hands of the right user... you'd definitely be able to operate efficiently. Assuming you don't slip up. |
| We can try it again if you'd like, so you can ger more practice. | |
| Proceed with the treatment. Quit stalling for Dr Paige. | |
| [Mark (scared)] | ...! |
| Oh, h-hi! Hey, actually, shouldn't you wait outside? Because of the patient's request. The one that mentioned...you. | |
| Hm. Fine. Begin the procedure, and I'll wait for Dr Paige. She should've been here already. | |
| Let's get started! |
| [Mark (lookright)] | He's not coming in here... |
| [Mark (lookleft)] | ...is he? |
