[oh gd it]

So it really is... an infection. And there is... no cure.

[...]

Thank you for releasing this information... Doctor Yagokoro. At least this way we can... prevent other people from losing their lives over something that seemed so.... simple and did, or at least least I thought it did, more good than harm.

I... wish I had caught on to this sooner.
Do you recall... how long it took for the infection to... lead to death?

[Filter] cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 05:29:15 UTC

...Days at most.

...We can make this painless for you, you know.

[Filter] bokuwadoctaaa August 19 2009, 05:54:17 UTC

I see.

At least I found out about it... this early on. I've pretty much spoken to, everyone I need to for now. Maybe once more later- [and there's a tiny hitch in his voice. It takes him a few seconds to continue talking.]

...thank you. When could you... [the ending of the sentence just seems to drop off. He's sure you know what he was going to ask. He can't find it in himself to finish the question either way.]

...every new discovery adds something. Even if the knowledge we gain is... disheartening.

...at least, we can try and work on preventative measures, right? If it's too late to stop by the time the symptoms manifest... then, we just have to stop it before that, right?

[Medical Filter] cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 05:53:19 UTC

i will be doing what I can. For now, there is still more research to be done.

[Medical Filter] infatuare August 19 2009, 06:11:13 UTC

...I wish I could be of more help.

But, it goes without saying that I'll do whatever I can to assist you.

[Everything up to "it would only work once before the bacterium adjusted," cleared through all of the basic filters on logic in House's brain.]

If it adjusts in one patient, there's still no way that it will mutate the exact same way in other patients.

[Filtered] cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 05:51:20 UTC

Would you really be willing to take that risk, understanding the origin of the medicine in question?

[Filtered] drnotabuilding August 19 2009, 05:59:35 UTC

It's not possible. Is there someone looking particularly hopeless?

[Filtered] cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 06:02:18 UTC

You seem awfully sure of yourself.

Even if it does not mutate in the same fashion, I've enough data to theorize within near certainty that it WILL mutate.

Even though there is a risk, I feel it is still small enough that the patient has the right to choose. If they are willing to go that far, why deny them? If the percentage increases then I would see why stopping all together would be a better choice.

Filtered cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 05:56:29 UTC

I would prefer them not having the options of risking their lives over something foolish.

Filtered chivalrousvampy August 19 2009, 06:02:57 UTC

To some it is not foolish, and is worth the risk. I can understand that need, I myself would rather take that risk than sit back and wait. Of course it's not exactly the same sort of risk as elsewhere.

Filtered cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 06:07:44 UTC

I am, currently, only advising such action be taken.

What would you estimate the chance of the patient becoming infected to be? In percentage, if you please.

filter; cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 06:00:09 UTC

Given the number of patients infected after chip removals as opposed to those not infected...

I'd estimate there is a 70% to 80% chance thus far. Unfortunately, I do not have all of the needed statistics in order to form a more precise number.

filter; applerabbits August 19 2009, 06:09:37 UTC

And as of right now, there is no cure.

Have you thought on any course of action for the future, short of finding a cure and enabling more sanitary operations? Ceasing chip removals permanently, or for an extended period of time, would also yield many deaths, as you surely realise. Although they do resurrect-

filter; cozmic_travel August 19 2009, 06:14:19 UTC

At the moment, there's nothing left that I, personally, can do on the matter. Besides more research, of course.

However, there are a great many medical minds here. I will supply them with my findings and hope that they will be able to do what I am unable.
