Oh, I saw it, all right.
Well, I was hoping to get

- My professional opinion?
- Yeah.
Well, my professional opinion
is that anybody in this hospital
could have read those labs,

- You were right.

You were right from the very start.
The technology got it wrong.
Our test results got it wrong.
Think about it... this whole time
we've been testing
for today's pathogens,
but today's pathogens are all mutated,
evolved variants of much older strains.
What those men were exposed to up there
was a much older strain...
of a very common infection.
So, even if it were a % match,
our equipment will still read
it as a negative result.
Exactly.
Their initial symptoms were telling you
they were suffering from Naegleriasis.
Our collective wisdom
and experience were telling us
they were suffering from Naegleriasis.
And our equipment could not see it.
This may be an ancient strain,
but it's essentially the same old amoeba.
Which means today's treatment
should still be effective.
