	Bashir thinks about this for a minute... he doesn't like 
	it, but he has to make his patient aware of all the options.

					BASHIR
			There is an experimental drug -- 
			called Vasokin -- that would increase 
			the blood flow to your organs and 
			might allow you to function normally 
			for a while.  But there's a great 
			deal of risk associated with it.

					BAREIL
			What sort of risk?

					BASHIR
			In twenty-two percent of the cases 
			on record, Vasokin has severely 
			damaged the patient's heart, lungs, 
			and kidneys... sometimes the brain.  
			In your condition, it could even be 
			fatal.

					BAREIL
			But it would allow me to function 
			normally for the next few days?

					BASHIR
			Yes.  But are those few days worth 
			risking your life?

					BAREIL
			I have no great desire to die, Doctor.  
			But I am determined to carry out the 
			will of the Prophets as long as I'm 
			able... and I can't carry out their 
			will if I'm lying unconscious in a 
			stasis tube.
				(beat)
			Please Doctor... begin the Vasokin 
			treatments.
