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

History
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.
