The Doctor Said

“What is it,” I asked the doctor?
“The capsule contains five thousand Nano-Bots. They’re programmed and designed to travel and scan the arteries. When they find a blockage, they remove it, then they travel back through the IV needle, deliver it to the waste bag, then go back for more.”
“Will it hurt?”
“No more than a slight electrical shock. The monitors track the location of the shocks to determine if there is a pattern of Clot growth. It aids in statistical analysis and future upgrades to the Nano’s programming.”
“So no Meds?”
“That’s right.”
“I love modern medicine.”
