I have one question and one important announcement.

The question:

Do you pull the lever?

As for the announcement, the hospital now has a wing to treat magical maladies. Witch doctors and the like are welcome to come check it out. People with magical maladies also welcome to come get treated, I don't know how any of this shit works.

it's ok my medical knowledge comes from soapy tv procedurals. together we can make shit up

How big are these fragments?

[ This is a pointless question because he can't do open heart surgery with only one hand, but he's still hoping for a new one eventually. ]

perfect we are on this like sphagetti sauce

They vary. Mine's a complete core these days, but it was about this size before.

I'd like to run more tests first, but why haven't you tried surgery?

[reincarnesiac]

Mine's non-operable. Protocore fragments can react to outside stimuli, and that's unfortunately been proven true in surgical settings too. If it wasn't lodged in my heart, there'd be a chance. Like this, there's an equal chance it'll destroy my heart if they try, and the transplant list doesn't take protocore syndrome patients due to high mortality rates.

Mmh, I'll have to figure out how to neutralize it.

[reincarnesiac]

If you do, make sure to write it down so I can share it with my cardiologist back home.

( ... it... won't................. but it's weird when you deal with a thing that is both energy and solid and also partly alien and willing to jab anything that comes near it with black crystals. So rude! )

[badlydisarmed]

Maybe the magical wing has something for it. It came with a bunch of steampunk machines I still haven't looked into.

I mean... doesn't hurt to check?
