The Doctor
Post Body

There were a dozen sensors all acting erratically. The data made no sense. How can the heart rate be normal when the oxygen level is so low? How can brain activity indicate seizure with no corresponding brain stem or muscle activity? This glucose level is physically impossible, and that hormone level is extremely improbable. Half the systems are failing and the self check is still green!

What about me? Is it my fault, or am I just reading everything all wrong? Calm down. Reevaluate. Good. Now, where was I? Oh yes, diagnosis... Indeterminate. Symptoms, various but the data is unreliable. Is the patient in distress, is he dying? The blood oxygen level is dropping, but it's the most consistent sensor data. I am going to be forced to take action soon. I was never prepared for this kind of situation but you have to do the best you can do given what you have, right?

The Doctor activates emergency nano oxygen reserves which begin to flood the patient's brain. Data streams are dropping off completely, and now the oxygen monitor registers no value. He hopes that he made the right call, but he has no way to confirm. All data is gone. This is the end, isn't it?... The Doctor fades into null fragments.

The Patient wakes up in a hospital some minutes later. "What happened?" He says. The people around him look at each other nervously. One finally says, "we've never seen this before but your central medical AI system crashed... completely. It did manage to stabilize your oxygen before it did, which is the only reason you're alive. Others weren't so lucky." He motioned to a row of lumps covered in sheets... Bodies?! "They keep pouring in and there is nothing we can do about it. We have no way to know why you alone have survived what we now assume is a virus attack because your data was unrecoverable.
