1. The day the government decided to ‘introduce’ new measures, I didn’t yet know what they would ‘cause to happen’ and I didn’t care, because I felt too tired. But when I went back to the hospital after a three weeks’ rest and complete isolation, I found out that all the members of the staff had been replaced by robots.
2. This had ‘ produced ‘ a completely different atmosphere, which I sensed the moment I entered the big hall. I won’t deny that it affected me, although I had been educated by a robot myself.
3. As I was making my first round, I tried to ‘ remember’ the moments when the robot had comforted me, when it had been at my bedside for days on end, without showing signs of boredom or tiredness. I knew I was being silly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I was constantly being watched, that from now on mistakes and weakness would be fatal. After all, my colleagues had been replaced by robots.
4. I ‘discussed’ it with my superiors, but in vain.
5. I spend most of the time in the operating-theatre from than on, because that was the only place they hadn’t invaded yet. This morning they ‘brought’ a fatally wounded man to the place. The case seemed hopeless, but nevertheless I was asked to operate on him. Suddenly it flashed through my mind that this was a test and desperatly I took my instruments.
After forty minutes I still hadn’t succeeded in reviving the patient. The moment I wanted to give up, the door was quietly opened and a robot entered the room. There was something familiar in the way the green eyes slowly turned from me to the patient…
6. Another twenty five minutes later he put down the instruments and I knew he had ‘succeed’ in the operation.
7. For one moment I hoped he wouldn’t ‘ cause’ my failure to appear but then I remembered that robots don’t have a heart.
