The patient was a sapient protist colony dying from severe depression (separating into individual cells/zooids / dissolving into goo / whatever). Good doctor discovered that the patient was female and her offspring was also onboard, so he inflicted controlled distress on the child to make it scream (on some frequency) and the scream shook mom out of depression. Might have to do with mom "regressing to primitive state", which necessitated instinct-based intervention. | |
