Patrick Griffin's Last Breakfast On Earth - Plot & Excerpts
“Well”—her voice tinny and distant through her mirrored faceplate—“you have good LDLs, excellent nerve conductivity, top-level immune indicators, blood pressure within normal limits, adequate dentition, no evidence of scoliosis, dermatitis, gingivitis, halitosis, psoriasis, or any viral or bacterial infection.” “That was it?” asked Patrick, impressed. “That was the test? You were able to tell all that just now?” He’d just emerged from a glass-walled cylinder that basically resembled the cleaning machine that had destroyed Neil’s T-shirt. The procedure had taken less than thirty seconds and had been entirely painless. “Yes, the holiscan is complete. You’re cleared for normal travel and physical activity. The only significant suboptimal condition itemized”—the woman paused to lift her faceplate. She had a thin face and a long nose that hooked sideways at the tip—“is that you would appear to be at risk, due to an enzymatic conformational issue expressed in some of your lymphocytes, to an immunological hyperresponse to certain glycoproteins.”
