The patient is to be kept under closer observation.
Day 58: The Patient refuses to take any fluids at all, even intravenously, and has begun vomiting profusely. They won't stop speaking of the "nice doctor". their pustules have begun drying out, exposing some solid form beneath them.
Day 74: The patient's pustules have finally ruptured, exposing several hundred thousand foreign bodies inside.
