Yu-Gi-Oh : Duelist of Time
Chapter 3 - Congrats, it's a Girl
Copyright: 1996 - Kazuki Takahashi
“Oh, boy.”
“EVA, tell security and medical personnel that it is safe to come into the stadium.”
“Yes, Miss Kaiba.”
I slump to the ground, damn that duel felt real. Could it have been a shadow duel, like in the anime?
I turn to look at the girl now laying on the floor who seems to be absolutely naked. She seems to be in a state of sleep and is breathing in and out fine.
Then I realized, looking at the girl, she has similar features to me. It could almost be that she has now become my daughter, although I need EVA to run the appropriate tests.
I take my long cloak off me, and cover the young girl with it. To preserve her dignity.
The medical personnel come in with the security guards flanking them. One of the medics approach me with the rest dealing with the young lady.
“Miss Kaiba, I need to check you for any injuries from your activities today.”
“The girl needs more attention than I do.”
“While I admire the selflessness of that statement, I believe you employ me to do my job.”
The medic gets out a medical scanner and scans me over. She looks at me, then the scanner.
“Miss Kaiba, you appear to have lost half of your total blood supply.”
“How could that happen, I feel fine?”
“Well, while you feel fine Miss Kaiba, you are not. Now would you let me give you the blood packs so I can restore your blood back to normal?”
“Yes, you can.”
I hate needles, I really do.
The medic then inserts enough needles into me to make me look like a hedgehog. Then she attaches blood packs to each one.
While this is going on, the girl whom I had covered up with my long cloak and the medical personnel who are treating her, bring out a hover patient board and place her on there and begin to take her out.
“Guys, you need to take here to my private medical suite at Kaiba Corp. HQ, she needs privacy.”
“Yes Miss Kaiba.”
“EVA, status report on stadium.”
“The stadium has not suffered any adverse effects; only personnel with any injuries are you and the girl you are bringing back home with you.”
“Thank you EVA, can you prep the medical suite?”
“I was already informed by the medical personnel, Miss Kaiba.”
“Ah, just making sure that it was prepared.”
The girl was arriving at the ambulance at this point. I was now completely refilled with blood and was allowed to go to the ambulance unaided.
“Miss Kaiba, I would like to make a suggestion.”
“Yes, EVA. What would this suggestion be?”
“If I was built correctly, I assume what your course of action is going to be in regards to this girl. I believe that you want to assume custody of the girl.”
“EVA, I did build you right and yes I want to have custody of the girl. I just feel that she is my daughter in my heart.”
“I shall get preparations under-way; I assume the name will have to wait.”
“Yes, I have a distinct feeling that she might have a name picked out for herself already. EVA, begin searching for personnel who can help with adjustment of this girl. Also send a request to Maxine Pegasus, for a meeting as soon as possible at Kaiba Corp. HQ.”
“Tasks are underway.”
Before I get into the ambulance, I activate my car's auto-parking feature to drive home and park in my space at Kaiba Corp. HQ. Then I get in the ambulance with the girl and strap myself in; damn I did not realize how much blood I lost. It takes 6 minutes to get back to the HQ.
One unique feature of the HQ is that the medical suite at Kaiba Corp. has a direct vehicle access for hover vehicles, so much faster than those old fashioned lifts. I know we have arrived when the back door is opened and I am beckoned to get out.
Which I do and the girl on the medical hover board is taken directly to the private suite. Well I have medical space for 12 people to be treated and also have a surgical theater and medical diagnosis facilities.
When I reach the suite, the female doctors who are on stand-by are there; they have already taken my long coat off and placed it to the side folded up. I notice one of the doctors is trying to talk to me. I tap my com-piece.
“Yes, Doctor Fanton?”
“Miss Kaiba, I have some good news.”
“What's that?”
“Congrats, it's a girl.”

Yu-Gi-Oh : Duelist of Time - Chapter 3
I'd have thought that medical technology would have made using needles obsolete. WE currently use patches that supply medicine, Why not a concentrated blood patch that requires her to drink water or a transporter to transfer blood?

Obsolete needles? Blasphemy!! :)
I would say that this way is one way to make sure blood actually goes where it belongs. Both the suggested transporter blood infusion (which could very well displace, say, the walls of the bloodveins if not tuned correcly for whatever reason) or a blood patch (which would transfer blood to places other than bloodveins because of its size covering the skin) would not offer the same kind of precision.
Sometimes using 'outdated' method is actually better. For example, the very incident at the core of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex is that a similarily 'outdated' but effective cure for a lethal affliction was shunned in favor of popular but completely ineffective nanomachine treatment, THEN adopted covertly to only be used on high-ranking officials.
