[A short pause.] I have no real way to check for antibodies, scar tissue, evidence of my former illness. I'm not sure evidence of my prior illness would even be there, since I came back cured. [Did the original Cosima dream of being post-sick, or just restored to health? She's not sure her mind would have separated the concepts back home.]
