It's Doctor James Wilson. When you die that doesn't mean that you're not a doctor anymore.

Since that's the only possible detail that's changeable at this point, why the hell not.

Right. I doubt he's about to complain about my overlooking his medical degree, either, but apparently that's still important.

It is important. We're doctors. And he gets infected with rabies and dies in the street. I'm a fan of dignity where it counts. You speak for yourself.

I changed it. Now people who didn't know he was a colleague before can spend the rest of the day asking if I knew him, if I'm okay. Happy?

He's dead. Fine time to ask about happiness. Now we know what goes in the other direction below the equator besides the toilet drain.

I still have to deal with him as a clinical case. You don't. Go and... get away from it for a while. Cameron will be in soon.

You're not going to be productive. We can handle it. Take a break.

Later. Not now.

...You've seen outbreaks like this before, here. You told me they're build ups to some big deus ex machina.

They're a lot of things. One of them is Wilson's reaper. Excuse me if that doesn't make me want to snooze.

No; you've seen outbreaks like this before. What happened to the casualties in those?
