|Before we move on, there's another condition we've been noticing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I know that my elderly patient Mr. Stevenson has this type of rhythm, so you'll probably come across it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|This treatment is for patients with <span style="color:#00ffff">heart block</span>.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Their heartbeats are regularly irregular.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Because the heart's signals aren't working properly, the beat comes out with this uneven feel.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|They won't pulse out at a regular interval, like what you've been used to.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Think of it almost like swing music, and hit them on the seventh beat.
|}
::<small>''If first beat is completely missed''</small>:
::{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Almost!
|}
::<small>''If first beat is barely hit''</small>:
::{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Not quite. Try it again.
|}
::<small>''If first beat is hit''</small>:
::{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Yup, exactly like that.
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You're getting it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Simple enough!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Now, let's try a case where the seventh lands on a blocked beat..
|-
|}
::<small>''If first beat is barely hit''</small>:
::{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Ah! You almost had it.
|}
::<small>''If first beat is hit''</small>:
::{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Nice, just like that.
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You're getting it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Now, finally let's go over a trickier type of heart block.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The nurse will play some piano to help you. <span style="color:#c0c0c0">Did you know she used to be a musician?</span>
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Woah, lightning reflexes!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|See? Not too bad.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Now, for this next case...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...we're splitting up to deal with multiple patients.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Don't worry, I'm handling my patient Mr. Stevenson myself.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You're handling one of our newer patients.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|If you encounter any of these swung rhythms, you'll be ready.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Good luck! See you on the other side.
|}
|-|Dialogue=
<small>''[Interlude]''</small>
{|
|{{Sprite/MrsStevenson|expr=sad}}
|Thank you, dearie...can you do me a favor?
|-
|{{Sprite/MrsStevenson|expr=sad}}
|My husband, I think he's here too, in another room.
|-
|{{Sprite/MrsStevenson|expr=tap}}
|I'm worried about him. I usually call him every morning.
|-
|{{Sprite/MrsStevenson|expr=sad}}
|Um, hello? Are you able to help?
|-
|{{Sprite/MrsStevenson|expr=sad}}
|Oh, it seems you're only a finger...
|}
|-|After Clear=
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Phew. I'm back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|This shift is killing me. I feel like I'm running on an empty tank.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I miss when we had a full staff around here.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Erk. My chest isn't feeling so hot.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|This is the part where Ian usually urges me to take a break. Can't afford it today.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I'll drink some water and keep pushing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hey, actually...I need a favor from you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Can you keep an eye on <span style="color:#00ffff">my</span> heart rate?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I'll be fine. <span style="color:#c0c0c0">(I think.)</span> It's just...as a back-up, you know?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Ian should be back soon. We just need to hold out until handover.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=baffled}}
|Hm. Here comes the nurse. She's holding a phone?
|-
|{{Sprite/RichardHugh}}
|...AND I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH SHODDY TREATMENT AT ANY MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT!
|-
|{{Sprite/RichardHugh}}
|IT WAS THOSE BUFFOONS! They used that phoney high-tech stuff! The music nonsense!
|-
|{{Sprite/RichardHugh}}
|Someone should fire those slackers! And one more thing, when I tell...
|-
|    
|click!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|*sigh* Just another day.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|We've got work to do. Ready?
|}
|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I know you're having fun with your techno-magic healing buttons...
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|...but who do you think is doing all the hard work caring for the patients?
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Me and the nurse have been breaking our backs all day runnin' this place.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|We're going back and forth, keeping this elderly couple fed, fixing their bedsheets, maintaining their rooms.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Glad you guys finally showed up to do something.

== Trivia ==
* During the final tutorial mechanic demonstration, Paige will always say "Woah, lightning reflexes!" after the first beat, even if the player misses. This might be an oversight.
