I think I might have a lead on Pestilence.

I was following up on a patient at Lawrence Memorial today and found he'd been moved to the oncology ward by accident in all the chaos. While I was digging through the system to locate his file and transfer paperwork, I noticed that, while there are no more sick people here than at any other hospital, the way they're getting sick seems to be different. The diagnoses are shifting rapidly, and shifting between diseases you can't mistake for one another no matter how incompetent you are. It's like something is trying out different diseases, discarding some, combining some, and generally experimenting.

It's all centered around the oncology unit, and when I checked the staff logs I found out this particular unit is running on maximum patient capacity and minimum staffing. Most of the nurses and all but one doctor have stopped showing up for work, like someone's cleared the area.

It might be nothing, but I'd appreciate it if we could get one of those teams Sam put together here to look in to it.
