Except you don't actually want to heal the patient.

You want to shoot that patient in the head after you've figured 
out how to (shades of Dr. Frankenstein) build a "new improved" 
worker to ship off to your customer.

(Or more accurately you send the new worker together with a 
single shot revolver, pick ake and shovel, the customer is 
supposed to kill and bury the old patient!)
