It is the third boss level in the game. It is the first time that Paige is a treatable patient; it is also the first time that the player themself has to treat Mr. Stevenson. Lastly, this is the first level where the player has to take care of more than three patients at once.

Synopsis

The player treats Paige, Mr. & Mrs. Stevenson, and Richard Hugh through their respective heart problems. Each patient has a singing role in the level. At the start of the level, Paige attempts to do a proper check-up of Mr. Stevenson. Her pager goes off right as she tries to resolve the miscommunication issue that has prevented Mr. Stevenson from talking to his wife, leaving the issue unresolved. This leads into both Stevensons singing about the waiting time they've had to endure in order to get help, remaining unable to see each other. Paige sings about being overworked and the miscommunication she's been having. Finally, Richard Hugh sings cynically about doctors, expressing his negative views on them, and his belief that they should receive pay cuts. Near the end of the level, Paige sings about the interpersonal struggles she has faced in pursuing her studies and in pursuing her career as a doctor, lamenting the missed opportunities to catch up with her friends, emphasizing that her patients have been "waiting for so long." The level ends with Ian returning, an hour late to handover. Paige is initially upset until she hears Ian explain that his mother had an episode, and that he attempted to call the hospital to let Paige know of the delay, but that this news did not seem to reach Paige. Paige, taken aback, apologizes and expresses sympathy, as Ian expresses gratitude for her covering his shift. The two then discuss the circumstances around Mr. Stevenson's injury, as he looks at a framed photo of his wife, with a sad expression, still unable to communicate with her. After the level, Ian expresses gratitude toward the player and Paige, recommending that she take a break. Paige then thanks the intern, letting them know that she'll drop by the vending machine whenever they're ready.

  I've been waiting for so long,
  Waiting for my doctor to come,
  These aches been going on for days now,
  And I'm feeling slightly down
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!
  I've been working night and day
  Haven't had a wink of sleep
  But they've been waiting for so long
  (I've been waiting for so long!)
  And I'm the one on-call this week

[Paige, Stevenson together]

  Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart,

  Good morning Mr. Stevenson, my name is Dr. Paige,
  and I'm the consultant on call today.
  How are you?
  Well I'm better thank you but it still hurts when I move.
  Understandably so, you might be getting pressure sores.
  Has the nurse come to change your position?
  No, not since the morning.
  Oh dear, we'll get her here.
  u-u-u-urkgurqirguqhrigujkurk
  The x-ray has come in now,
  and there is good news sir!
  You haven't broken your tailbone
  and your hip is intact.
  Oh thank heavens I don't know why let myself fall-
  Don't worry it happens to the best of us.
  But more importantly, how are you feeling?
  I-I'm okay... but
  Everything well at home?
  I-I-I think so.. but
  Great we'll get you discharged tomorrow then.
  But-
  Is there anything else sir?
  Well Y-Yes... my- my-my wife hasn't called since yesterday..
  We always talk once a day, and-
  Okay.
  Yes.
  Um, of course, we will get the nurse to call her up and see
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!
  if she's --
  Oh dear.
  There my pager goes again!
  I've been waiting for so long...
  Give me strength to carry on!
  Waiting for my doctor to come.
  Thank you sir, have a good rest-
  But doc please check on my wife...
  My husband's somewhere in here too!
  She's just forgotten to call! OKAY?!
  Don't fall for these doctors lies!
  Please could someone help me out!
  Driving around in their cars!
  I should've been done at six!
  Doctors are taking too long!

[Stevensons together]

  Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart,
  Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart,
  The public deserve to have care!
  I'm the one that needs some HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!
  Saturday pay shall be cut!

[Stevensons together]

  Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart,
  Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart,
  Someone save me from this he-ell!
  PRIVATISATION IS KEY!
  ..Shouldn't have gone to med school.

[Cut to black]

[Fade to hospital room]

  To all my friends that I have lost,
  While crossing bridges I have crossed,
  Dinners, weddings, coffee sessions,
  Sorry I was never there.
  You see, I've been on call this week,
  I'm barely getting any sleep,
  I'd love to catch up, I really would,
  But they've been waiting for so looooong

[Cut to hospital hallway]

[Ian enters]

  There you are handover was an hour ago what took you so long-
  Heyhey Ada sorry i'm [sic] late-
  I'm - I'm so sorry my mother had another episode, the carer was running late,
  I- I couldn't just leave her there-
  I called up the hospital to try and let you know but I guess they didn't-
  ..Oh.. no they.. I'm sorry to hear that.
  It's fine. Thanks for covering Ada.
  Really appreciate it.
  I.. hope the patients didn't give you much trouble?

[Camera starts panning to Mr. Stevenson, holding a framed photo of his wife]

  ..No, no, not at all..

[Voices begin to fade]

  Hey, okay, so,
  Mr. Stevenson had his fall yesterday, he's - he's doing fine.
  But we still don't know if it was mechanical or syncope.
  He doesn't remember?
  No. X-rays were all clear.
  No history of AF?
  Not on the records.
  Aspiration pneumonia?
  No, his lungs are fine.
[Voices fade out]
  I can take it all from here. Thank you, both of you.
  You did great.
  Thanks, man. Phew.
  Ada, you look exhausted. You should clock out, I can handle everything.
  Yeah, yeah. I'll grab something to eat and make my way out.
  Intern. Thank you. That was a real rough one. We couldn't have done it without you.
  Starting to feel like you're the glue holding the place together.
  Good luck with the next shift.
  When you're ready, maybe we can drop by the vending machine? I'm starving.
[Level outro]
  But they've been waiting for so

Player is prompted to hit the final beat to make Paige finish her sentence. If the beat is not hit, the following dialogue occurs:

[Richard enters]

  You can do it! Come on! Hurry up!

[Richard exits]

[Richard enters]

  Any time now! Come on! Let's go!

[Richard exits]

[Richard enters]

  Make a move already, would you?

[Richard exits]

[Richard enters]

  Oh, bloody hell, hurry up already!

[Richard exits]

[Richard enters]

  Oh, come on, make your move! Hurry up!

[Richard exits]

[Richard's arm extends from the left, automatically pressing the button and finishing Paige's sentence]

Note that the easter egg dialogue can be interrupted at any time if the player presses the button themselves.

[段]
等呀等得心好慌
我的医生他在何方
伤口它痛得我快发狂
心情也有点紧张
嘀嘟!嘀嘟!嘀嘟!嘀!
嘀嘟!嘀嘟!嘀嘟!嘀!

[段]
白天黑夜都在忙
眼睛七天没闭上
但他们等得心里慌
(等呀等得心好慌)
而今天正好我轮岗
扑通!扑通!扑通!咚!
扑通!扑通!扑通!咚!

早上好史蒂文先生
我是佩奇医生
今天呢由我来当班
所以你感觉还好吗?
(我好点了 可是动的时候)
这也正常的
(还是会有点疼)
可能躺太久了有压疮
护士有来给你翻过身吗?
(没有,就早上来过)
哎呀,那我们赶紧让他过来
额 X光片刚出来
还是有好消息的
你的尾骨没有骨折
髖骨也很完好
(噢 真是谢天谢地啊)
(哎...我真不知道自己怎么会摔了一跤的)
可别这么说
摔跤还是常见的
总之
现在好点了吗?
(还..还..还挺好的)
家里也没事吧
(额..应该没有 但是..)
那好 你明天就可以出院了
(可是..)
还有什么问题吗?
(额 就是我老伴 从昨天起就没有给我打电话了)
(本来是每天都打的)
啊这样啊 好 让我去让护士联系一下看她是不是..
唉..
(嘀嘟!嘀嘟!)

[副歌]
我的呼机又在响
(等呀等得心好慌)
希望我足够坚强
(我的医生他在何方)
(休息吧 好好养伤)
(可我老伴那边怎样)
(我老伴也在医院)
应该只是忘了打电话吧 别多想
(医生嘛就会瞎讲!)
(有谁能够帮帮我吗?)
(开着车到处乱晃)
我六点就该下班了
(好吧)
(别觉悟别干这行!)
(扑通!扑通! 扑通!咚!)
(全不为百姓着想)
倒是看看我多忙
(加班费就不该涨)
(扑通!扑通 扑通!咚!)
(私有化才是良方)
一堆破事在手上
早知就不该学医

[结尾]
当朋友们都远离我
我孤单一人拼搏着
酒桌约会 婚礼咖啡
去不成的 只有我
看 这就是我的生活
朋友们请听我诉说
不是我不想来欢聚
可他们更需要...我..

[其他]
说好的半小时前交班,你怎么现在才-
嘿嘿!不好意思艾达,我迟到了..
不-不好意思 我妈病情又发作了,护工来晚了
我只能先陪着她 我之前给医院打过电话
要他们跟你说一下
但看起来没能通知到你.......
啊...那应该是他们忘了说..那个...你还好吧
没事的,谢谢你顶我班
真麻烦你了,病人们那边没有太麻烦你吧?
没...没挺好的
