The last thing you want to experience during a doctor appointment is a pile of heart shooting out of the factory lab right next door to your doctor's office, into the hallways.

 

Arthur McKenzie described it as an out-of-body experience, watching the staff of the hospital slip and slide on the floor while trying desperately to collect the ongoing outspread of artificial hearts thumping on the floor.

 

“There is something quite disconcerting about seeing that mirror piece of your humanity in such abundance discarded on the white tile floors.” He said. 

 

Apparently a glitch in the machine caused an unintentional command of ten thousand hearts to be manufactured, instead of ten. Though technicians are working tirelessly to fix the malfunction, hearts are still spewing out like gumballs.

 

The hospital has welcomed any able volunteers to come to the hospital and help collect the hearts properly. If you’ve got the heart for it, let us know and we’ll send you the contact info.
