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?
|
