Heart's Medicine: Hospital Heat/Intensive Care

This is the fifth chapter of Heart's Medicine: Hospital Heat. When Mathilda is in the middle of recovering, the car crash made Mathilda received damage. It's getting happened...

## Level 41 - Troubled Times

* In the new wing, Victor takes over John with Victor portrait.
* Daniel and Allison see what happened!
* Allison: Oh, no... Tell me that you're just moving some boxes!?
* Daniel: No... I... I'm no longer working at Little Creek...
* Daniel: As of today, Victor is in charge.
* Allison: I'm so sorry, Daniel... My mom and brother...
* Daniel: It's okay, I understand. I heard what happened. This was my fault anyway.
* Daniel: They did let me keep my medical license, so I guess I should be thankful for that.
* Allison: Is there anything I can do for you?
* Daniel: No... It's been a long day, I just need a little time to process things...
* Daniel: I guess we both do...
* Daniel and Allison go right.
* Allison enters the unit.
* Victor: So you're sure you can't fit more beds into your intensive care unit?
* Sophia: Do you see any space for more beds?
* Victor: I guess we'll have to cut costs on equipment then.
* Victor leaves the unit.
* Allison: I see you're not having a great day either...
* Sophia: Nonsense, it'll take more than that oaf to get me down.
* Sophia leaves the unit, letting Allison go.

### After the level

* Sophia enters the unit.
* Quinn delivers Mathilda to the unit.
* Allison: How's she doing?
* Quinn: During the operation, we found several heightened toxin levels in her kidney.
* Quinn: These toxins have been entering the bloodstream and causing havoc.
* Quinn: Loss of oxygen, muscle damage, not to mention a very erratic heartbeat...
* Quinn: We've had to put her into an artificial coma so we can slow her entire system down...
* Quinn: If we woke her up, she would die within the hour.
* David: If only we'd done that check up...
* Paisley Daniels: "There's no use in regretting the past."
* Quinn: I'm going to run some tests.
* Quinn: If Victor will still let me...
* Allison: Thanks, Quinn.

## Challenge 21 - Emily's Canteen Challenge V

Serve steady and don't panic, Emily! More toppings in the sandwiches!

## Level 42 - Silence

* Ryan enters the unit to see Mathilda.
* Nothing happens. Allison continues working.

### After the level

* Allison uses the computer while Ryan gets on the bed.
* Allison goes to Ryan and comforts him.
* Ryan is sad.

## Level 43 - Tuckered Out

* Allison and Ryan are sleeping in the unit. Connor enters the unit to see they're asleep.
* Connor: Wake up, sleepy heads...
* Allison and Ryan wake up.
* Connor: I'm here to pick you up, Ryan. Then kids have been asking about you.
* Ryan: I guess I could use the distraction.
* Ryan leaves the unit.
* Connor: How are you holding up, kiddo?
* Allison: I've had better days...
* Connor: I'd give you a hug, but...
* Allison: We probably shouldn't.
* Allison: Sometimes, the world just stinks...
* Connor: That's your great insight, huh?
* Allison: Nah, just something some guy once told me.
* Connor: Good luck, Allison.
* Connor leaves the unit.

### After the level

* Sophia enters the get something while Allison uses the computer.
* Quinn enters for Allison.
* Quinn: I... I'm out of ideas.
* Quinn: All my tests came back inconclusive...
* Quinn: Every test spells out something different, and the very next test excludes the first result...
* Quinn: On top of that, I now have a strict per-patient test budget. I'm not allowed to 'go o n a while goose chase'...
* Sophia: Victor?
* Quinn: What do you think!?
* Quinn: To be honest, though, even with more tests, I wouldn't know where to start.
* Allison: So there's nothing you can do?
* Quinn: I'm afraid not...
* Quinn leaves the unit. Sophia comforts Allison.
* Sophia: You could always talk to her...
* Sophia has nothing to do. She leaves the unit.
* Allison: Talk to you... I hardly know you...
* Allison goes to Mathilda.
* Allison: And that's not my fault, is it?
* Allison: You know all the mom-daughter moments I've had to miss out on?
* Allison: How desperately I wanted to have a mother?!
* Allison: The only thing you had to do was to BE THERE!!!
* Allison wipes her tears and thinks.
* Allison: The only thing I had to do was forgive you...
* Allison: Not be so angry... not send you away...
* Allison: It couldn't have been easy on you either...
* Allison: I... I just wish things could have been different...
* Allison gives Mathilda a wish.

## Level 44 - No Giving Up

* Ryan sees Mathilda.
* Ryan: Quinn told me there's nothing more he can do for mom...
* Allison goes to hug Ryan.
* Allison: Well, he might not be able to do anything, but I'm not giving up yet.
* Ryan wipes his tears.
* Allison: I'm done with giving up.
* Allison: I'm going to do everything I can, Ryan, I promise!
* Allison: We're going to save mom.
* Ryan gives Allison a hug!
* Allison: But I can't do this alone...
* Allison: I'll stop by Ruth's after my shift.
* Ryan sits down near Mathilda.

### After the level

* Allison leaves the unit and heads to Ruth's place.
* Allison enters Ruth's place during Ruth's washing hands.
* Allison: Ruth?
* Allison: Do you know your door has no lock?
* Ruth: Yup. They changed the locks, so I had someone remove it.
* Ruth: But I'm sure you didn't come here to talk about locks...
* Allison: No... I need your advice.
* Some time later...
* Allison: So somehow, I need to do more tests - but I don't know what tests to do.
* Allison: And on top of that, Victor won't let us do any more anyway.
* Ruth: I'll look at the file. I'm sure there are still plenty of things we can test for, BUT...
* Ruth: It seems to me that you still need help from someone else too.
* Ruth: You need someone who has experience in bending the rules.
* Allison: I'm not sure if Daniel will want to help me after all that's happened...
* Ruth: Allison, that boy would rob a bank for you if you asked him to.
* Allison: Hmm... I guess I'll have to try.
* Allison: Thanks, Ruth.
* Allison walks to the door.
* Allison: Ruth, are you sure you don't need any help?
* Ruth: Don't be silly, this house was too big for me alone anyway...

## Level 45 - It's All in the Budget

* Victor takes one of the carts.
* Sophia: Victor! You can't just take one of our carts.
* Victor: Don't be so over dramatic. You can make do with just one cart.
* Victor: You know how much Queensburrow Bridge is willing to pay for one of these?
* Victor: This hospital is going to turn a profit, and it's going to turn a profit QUICKLY!
* Victor: You can always put your complaints in my complaints box.
* Victor moves the recycle bin to Sophia. Victor leaves with the cart.
* Sophia disagrees.
* Sophia: ARGH! I can't work like this...
* Allison: Don't worry, Sophia. We'll make it work.
* Allison: You just try and relax...
* Sophia leaves the unit.

### After the level

* Allison: I guess it's time...
* Allison takes a deep breath.
* Daniel and his parents are on the roof.
* Allison: Daniel? Are you up here?
* Allison: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know your mom and dad were over...
* Allison: I can come back later.
* John: Don't be silly! We're just here to celebrate Daniel's new job at Queensburrow Bridge.
* Allison: Queensburrow Bridge?
* Daniel stands up to get to Allison.
* Daniel: Yes... I was going to tell you...
* Daniel: I didn't want to go back to my self-pitying again, so I applied for a job at Queensburrow.
* Daniel: And they were glad to have me.
* Allison: That's great, Daniel!
* Daniel: Yeah, it is. But that's not what you wanted to talk about, right?
* Allison: No...
* Allison: I also wanted to do something, instead of feeling sorry for myself...
* Allison: But I need your help.
* Some time later when Daniel's parents clean up.
* Daniel: Well, I could probably slip in the extra tests you need at Queensburrow.
* Allison: Are you sure? I couldn't ask you to do that...
* Daniel: Allison, you were willing to risk everything for me - it's the least I can do.
* Allison: Thank you, Daniel.
* Daniel: Just be sure Victor doesn't see you collecting samples.
* Allison and Daniel give a kiss.
* Allison: I'm sorry, I've got to go...
* Allison waves to Daniel, leaving.
* John: Someday, you'll have to tell me why you and Allison aren't a couple...
* Robin: JOHN!?

## Level 46 - Time to Act

* Victor: So, if you can sell patients on this special hospital bedding...
* Sophia: Victor, most of my patients are in comas or experiencing heavy trauma...
* Allison enters the unit with supplies.
* Victor: Well, it never hurts to try...
* Sophia: Well, maybe we can try and sell it to the family...
* Allison: I like where your head's at!
* Allison hides the supplies! Victor leaves the unit.
* Allison: Phew, that was close...
* Sophia: I thought Victor said we couldn't perform any more tests...
* Allison: These samples are going to be tested over at Queensbarrow.
* Sophia: That's some smart thinking, Allison.

### During the level

* Allison collected test samples from Mathilda.

### After the level

* Allison uses the samples to Mathilda. Daniel enters the unit.
* Daniel: Do you have all the samples?
* Allison: I'm just finishing the final one...
* Allison: And... there! Done!
* Daniel: Great! I'll get started on them right away, but it'll take some time.
* Daniel takes the samples.
* Daniel: I'd best get going - wouldn't want anyone catching on.
* Allison: Daniel...
* Allison: I owe you.
* Daniel leaves with the samples.

## Level 47 - Ruckus

* Allison walks in the hall while Ruth appeared! Allison hides by Ruth!
* They're all in the closet!
* Chance: ...he literally took away the chairs in the waiting room.
* Chance: These are pregnant women we're talking about.
* Connor: You think that's bad...
* Connor: Yesterday, like some evil villain, Victor took away half the toys in the children's ward.
* Michael: He also replaced all out sheets with thinner sheets.
* Michael: Because "if people aren't comfortable, they'll leave quicker"
* They disagree.
* Stan: He also switched to cheaper cleaning supplies. Smell me, I smell like a lemon...
* Stan: I really hate lemons...
* Ruth: If this keeps going, there'll be nothing left of this hospital.
* Sophia: Someone's going to have to do something...
* John: I'm sorry...
* John: I feat this has to do with Victor's grudge against me...
* John: I'll go talk to him this evening, and see if I can get him to lay off.
* Allison enters the unit and goes to work.

### During the level

* Allison must calm the doctors and staff coming into intensive care. In the following order: Chance, Jenny Pope, Stan, Michael, Quinn, Robin, and Ruth.

### After the level

* Daniel's office was being replaced with Victor.
* John: \*Knock, knock!\*
* Victor: Come in...
* Victor shows John entering.
* Victor: John, I was wondering when you'd show up...
* Victor: Do you like what I've done with the place?
* John: No need to be mean, Victor. You've won.
* Victor: Oh... But there's totally a need to be mean.
* Victor: I didn't spend the last 15 years clawing my way back to the top for nothing.
* John: Okay, Victor, feel free to take your revenge out on me...
* John: But these people - they don't deserve that. The patients don't deserve that.
* John: And even by your standards, you've been enormously harsh.
* Victor: Harsh?! It was harsh of the board to take my license over a small mistake.
* Victor: It was HARSH for my partner to report me to the board in the first place.
* Victor: Harsh?? I'll show you harsh...
* Victor does actions.
* Victor: You'll feel exactly like I did as everything I cared for was taken away from me.
* Victor: Harsh... you haven't seen the half of it...
* Victor: I will run this place into the ground, but not before I turn a profit on it.
* John: You can't...
* Victor: Oh, I can. And I will...
* Victor takes over Daniel's office chair.
* Victor: Feel free to leave any time now, John.
* John leaves the office.

## Level 48 - Blast from the Past

* In the new wing...
* Victor: Welcome to our team meeting!
* Victor: I was walking through the basement, and I just happened upon a treasure trove of old unused equipment.
* Victor: And I thought to myself.
* Victor: These models are actually still pretty good. It'd be a shame not to use them.
* Victor: And if we all start using the slightly older machinery, we can sell a lot of our newer devices.
* Ruth: But some of those machines haven't been used in over 10 years.
* Sophia: Yeah, do they even work?
* Victor: Most of them do, but I have an 'old country' guy that's fixing up the rest...
* Quinn: You know those machines aren't up to the current safety codes.
* Victor: We'll have a small group of people evaluate which machines are and aren't up to code over the coming months.
* Victor: But in the meantime, you'll all just have to get used to doing more things by hand.
* Victor: We used to do everything by hand back in the day, and I never heard any complaints back then...
* Victor pushes to get them back to work.
* But Connor and John have conversations!
* Connor: I thought you were going to talk to him...
* John: I did...
* In the unit, Sophia disagrees. Sophia leaves and Allison goes to Mathilda.

### After the level

* Daniel enters the unit.
* Daniel: I've got the results from the tests Ruth ordered.
* Daniel looks around.
* Daniel: Wait, why are you working with CF100's? Those are from the 1980s!?
* Allison: That's not important right now - let's go see what Ruth thinks...
* Daniel agrees. Allison and Daniel leave the unit and enter the lab.
* Allison: We've got the results!
* Ruth: Well, hand them over, dear...
* Allison hands the result over to Ruth.
* Ruth: Here!
* Ruth: It's very hard to see, but there are some small deviations in hormone levels.
* Ruth: It seems the liver isn't breaking them down completely.
* Ruth: The slower liver function keeps adding more and more hormones to the bloodstream, which may be causing some of your mother's symptoms.
* Ruth: The rest could be caused my a relatively simple blood deficiency, made worse by the hormones.
* Ruth: It makes sense that Quinn didn't find this, it's almost impossible to spot.
* Ruth: Luckily, a slow liver is very treatable if we treat it in time. We just have to give it a boost with Livax.
* Ruth: And we've got Licax right here!
* Allison: Then what are we waiting for?

## Level 49 - Final Hope

* Ryan: So this will save mom?
* Allison: There's a good chance that it will.
* Ruth gets Livax and applies to Mathilda.
* Ryan touches Mathilda.
* Ruth: You'll have to keep administering the Livax throughout the day.
* Allison This has got to work...
* Daniel: I'm sure it will!
* Ruth leaves first, then Ryan, and Daniel.

### During the level

* Allison keeps applying the medication (Livax) to Mathilda throughout the day.

### After the level

* Allison gets something while Sophia, Ruth, Ryan and Daniel enter the unit.
* Ruth: Now the waiting starts...
* Daniel: Do you guys want anything to drink?
* They agree. Emergency is detected! The core system begins to get malfunction. Allison applies and Sophia tracks and fixes.
* Ryan: What's happening?
* Ruth: Nothing good...
* Allison: Her hormone levels are through the roof, and her liver's failing...
* Sophia: Somehow the medication only made things worse...
* Ruth: But... that's impossible...
* Allison: What do we do now?!
* Sophia: We either find the cause, or...
* Sophia: Let's just say we need to find the cause...

## Level 50 - The Time is Now

* Allison treats Mathilda.
* Ruth: Sophia, how long do we have to find out what's wrong?
* Sophia: I'd say 24 hours max.
* Ryan: 24 HOURS?!
* Ryan: But a whole range of doctors has been trying to figure out what's wrong with her for the better part of a YEAR already!
* Ryan: This will never...
* Ryan: You guys will nev...
* Ruth calms Ryan down.
* Ruth: Ryan?
* No answer.
* Ruth: Ryan?
* Allison runs to Ryan to calm!
* Allison: But... if Ryan has these types of episodes too...
* Allison: They can't be psychological...
* Allison: They... they're hereditary!!!
* Ruth: And those episodes come from your brain, not the circulatory system.
* Sophia agrees.
* Ryan: Huh? What happened?
* Allison: You had an episode, like mom used to have.
* Allison: And that might actually help us find out what's wrong with her.
* Allison: Hmmm, so the symptoms are: Stress-induced episodes, increased hormone levels, kidney failure, liver failure and it's hereditary...
* Allison: Hmmm... It couldn't be paragensis, because that doesn't increase hormone levels...
* They're in episode.
* Ruth: Allison...
* Allison: Give me a second, I'm thinking...
* Ruth: Allison, it... it's advanced Herkins disorder.
* Allison: It...
* Allison: It's advanced Herkins disorder...
* Ryan thinks.
* Ryan: Can someone tell me what advanced Herkins disorder is?
* Allison: Herkins Is a hereditary brain mutation in which the brain creates thick extra pathways, mostly connected to emotional trauma.
* Allison: Those pathways can interfere with any part of the brain, and can cause anything from mood swings to motor issues, and even mental disabilities.
* Allison: Once it gets to the advanced stages, the trauma becomes irrelevant...
* Quinn enters the unit.
* Allison: Survival chances drop close to zero...
* Allison: And to treat it, you need a top tier surgeon to perform conscious brain surgery.
* Quinn comes up with a response.
* Quinn: Well, you certainly have one of those!
* Allison: You'd do that for us?
* Quinn: I would - but we do have a bigger problem.
* Quinn: Yesterday, our neuro-endoscope was sold to Queensburrow.
* Quinn: And we need to start the operation ASAP if we want to have any chance of success.
* Sophia: I still have some connections with our helicopter pilot through Joe.
* Quinn: Well, if Sophia preps your mother for surgery, and you can fly to Queensburrow, I'll get the OR ready.
* Allison gives Quinn a hug to start preparing! But Quinn pushes her back.
* Quinn: That's enough of that, now get going...
* Allison, Ruth and Quinn leave in advance.
* Sophia: Ryan, can you go see Connor today and fill him in?
* Ryan agrees, and Daniel and Ryan leave to Pediatrics.
* Sophia: Don't you worry, Miss Heart - your daughter is going to save you!
* Let's go!

### After the level; Post-chapter

* Sophia puts the last prep for Mathilda surgery! Quinn enter to see Sophia.
* Quinn: Is she good to go?
* Sophia: She is...
* Quinn pushes Mathilda out of the unit for surgery!
* Now the ICU core system begins to get unstable.
* Sophia: I just hope Allison gets back in time.
* Sophia turns off the ICU lights.
* And now, the system begins to explode and set on fire!
* Allison is in the helicopter!
* Mathilda is in the surgery, Quinn puts on the brain surgery and Sophia watches.
* Quinn opens the brain by taking out the hair. A fire alarm is detected!
* The fire comes from the left!
* Sophia goes to ICU to see what's wrong with ICU core system! It's on fire!
* Now we are going back to the present day from prologue!

## Cutscene: Grand Finale

* Allison fell into the flames of the fiery Little Creek Hospital.
* In the hospital Allison wakes up and gets up.
* Allison's stomach is hurting her, so she uses both hands to get herself up.
* Now Allison stands up.
* Flames everywhere, Allison picks up the kit and goes into surgery room!
* Allison enters the surgery room.
* Mathilda: Alli, you can't be here...
* Mathilda: You need to go. Quinn explained everything to me.
* Quinn appears since the flame is on his back.
* Mathilda: Chances are I'll die either way, but you can still live.
* Quinn tries to get the fire extinguisher running!
* Quinn: She's right, Allison, the fire's spreading too quickly.
* Quinn extinguishes the flame, but it can't put out!
* Quinn: There's just no way we can finish the operation in time.
* Quinn: And I'm afraid we can't move her in her state.
* Quinn continues extinguishing.
* Allison: No...
* Allison: I'm not leaving...
* The lights are out!
* Mathilda: Alli, you have to. I can't be the one who puts you in danger all over again...
* Allison: Mom, don't you see that this isn't your choice to make?
* Allison: I've run away from enough of my problems...
* Mathilda: Alli…
* Allison: I'm not going anywhere!
* Allison goes to Mathilda.
* Quinn: This won't be the same as reading it in a book, Allison...
* Quinn: ...but I know you covered this in medschool!
* Quinn can't extinguish any further since Allison is ready!
* Quinn: I... \*COUGH\* I'll go get help!
* Now Quinn put out the flame, so Quinn leaves the room to get help!
* Time to get this started! A preparation for brain surgery has begun!
* In the first part, Quinn already took out the hair part and hair skin to see Mathilda's brain.
* Allison: Looks like Quinn has already started removing the skull-cap.
* Allison: Let's continue drilling away part of the skull to expose the brain.
* Allison continued the drilling.
* Allison: So far, so good. Now we're carefully going to remove the bone.
* Allison removes Mathilda's brain bone to reveal her brain. Then she places into the dish.
* Allison: Yes! Now, let's use the spotting fluid on the entire surface.
* Allison puts the fluid on the surface of Mathilda's brain.
* Allison: Well, that's everything. Now we just need to wait for the problem areas to show up on our scanner.
* Allison scans for brain problems!
* Allison: Come on...
* The problems in Mathilda's brain are revealed!
* Allison: YES!
* Allison thoughts: Those... Those pathways are pretty big.
* Allison thinks: If just one of these cuts breaks the barrier of the pathway, my mom... she'll...
* Allison puts a final thought: Don't think about it, Allison.
* Allison: Okay Mom, after each cut, I'm going to need you to perform a little task.
* Allison continues and starts a cut on the first part.
* Allison cuts the mutation part of Mathilda's brain and places in a tray.
* Allison: Mom, can you talk to me for a bit?
* Mathilda: I...
* Mathilda: I came to visit you once, you know.
* Allison: What?!
* Mathilda: After I hadn't had any episodes for a year.
* Mathilda: You were outside, goofing around with your grandpa...
* Mathilda: The two of you looked so happy... I didn't want to ruin that.
* Mathilda: I...
* Mathilda: I'm so sorry I left you, Alli…
* Allison confirms her mom's thoughts.
* Allison: It's okay now, mom...
* Allison: But... maybe... we shouldn't talk about things that will have us both in tears...
* Allison continues the removal. Allison cuts the mutation part halfway.
* But suddenly, the gas exploded! The steam released!
* Mathilda: Allison!
* Mathilda: You can still leave, Allison...
* Allison: We had this conversation, mom. I'm not leaving here without you.
* Not Allison continues the rest of this part and puts into the dish.
* Allison: Non, can you squeeze your hand into a fist and then stretch out all your fingers?
* Mathilda can.
* Mathilda: Yes... Yes, I can...
* Mathilda: But... Allison... I don't feel so good...
* Allison goes to the readout and focuses!
* The time left is low! Mathilda is unstable!
* Allison: We don't have much time left...
* Allison: I need to remove the pathway that's causing the increase in hormones.
* The fires are spreading non-stop!
* Allison: MOM?!
* Allison runs to Mathilda and performs the final cut!
* Allison: No time to waste. I guess I'll have to do this blind...
* Allison cuts the mutation halfway.
* Allison: Come on, mom, stay with me...
* Allison cuts to 75%.
* Allison: We're almost there...
* The cut is finished!
* Allison: Done!
* Allison takes the mutation and puts into the dish.
* The fires are almost reaching Heart...
* Allison: Please hang in there...
* Allison continues.
* Mathilda: A... Alli…
* Allison: Mom!
* Allison: Just let me staple this up and we can go...
* Allison continues.
* Mathilda: Alli…
* Allison: Mom, I have to finish this up before we can go.
* Allison puts the liquid before covering it up..
* Now Allison puts the steel covered above brain and screws back up!
* And finally, Allison stapes the body part back into place!
* Allison: I did it! I saved...
* The music plays Breathe!
* Allison: ...you...
* The surgery is destroyed by flames!
* Now Allison lays on Mathilda.
* The credits roll (partially)!
* **Heart's Medicine: Hospital Heat**
* There's a wall bashing by Daniel!
* Now Jenny Garcia saw they're coming out of the fiery hospital! Jenny saw Allison, Daniel and Mathilda going out!
* We're in the safe zone! The Little Creek Hospital is destroyed! Partially!
* Michael puts Mathilda into the ambulance!
* Alison appears!
* Mathilda: Allison?
* Allison goes to Mathilda.
* Mathilda: I...
* Mathilda: I'm not going anywhere...
* Allison gives Mathilda a hug!
* Mathilda: You've become such an amazing woman...
* Michael: We've got to go, Allison!
* Allison: Take good care of her, okay?
* Ryan gave Allison a hug.
* Michael pushes Mathilda into the ambulance! And Ryan jumps into the ambulance. The ambulance is going!
* Allison and Daniel look at the Little Creek Hospital.
* Daniel: Do you think we'll recover from this?
* Daniel: Losing Little Creek, losing our family hospital?
* The sun rises.
* Allison: Take a look around, Daniel.
* Allison: The entire family's here...
* Allison: Everybody's safe...
* Allison: We're all together...
* Daniel: You're right, we'll be okay.
* Allison and Daniel look at the hospital.
* Allison: We are going to have to talk about it, though...
* Daniel: What?
* Allison: Well, you just ran into a burning building to save me...
* Daniel: Hey, you went in there first...
* Allison: Fair enough...
* Allison: But there are easier ways of telling me you love me, you know...
* Daniel: What? I... I...
* Now Allison and Daniel are in love! The sun rises!
* The team look at them kissing!
* **And this is not the end! There's still one more episode to go!**
