The player and Paige cooperate to treat both patients in the level, with Paige handling Mr. Stevenson and the player handling Mrs. Stevenson. In the middle of the level, Mrs. Stevenson thanks the player, before going on to say that she hasn't had a chance to talk to her husband, Mr. Stevenson, even though he's in the same hospital as her. She asks the player for help, before soon realizing that the player is unable to communicate through their screen. After the level, the player meets up with Paige. She speaks about her chest pain and the strain that's been placed on her due to no longer having a full staff, and having a much larger workload than before. Paige then asks the player for help, asking if they can keep an eye on her heartbeat.

|I know that my elderly patient Mr. Stevenson has this type of rhythm, so you'll probably come across it.

|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.
