ard 5. A "messiah" is a great religious leader who it is thought can save people. A "ward" is a specific division or floor of a hospital. He wasn’t resurrected, he was administered a drug…a drug that has fallen short of its somewhat miraculous reputation. If a person is "resurrected," they are brought to life from the dead (Christians believe Jesus was resurrected). If a person "falls short" of their goal, they fail to accomplish it. "Somewhat" is a widely used adverb meaning in some degree or measure, or possibly slightly. If a drug has a "miraculous reputation," it is believed that it can lead to medical miracles. I sympathize with him, I tried to accommodate him, but I will not let him endanger the health of the rest of the patients of this hospital. "To sympathize" with a person is to feel sorry for them.

We’ll be working with this dosage, he’s aware of this, and he’s prepared for any effects. "Dosage" is the relative amount of medicine that is given to a patient. That was lovely, Lucy. :: I learned that song a long, long time ago. A British word for pretty, beautiful or delightful. How are you? :: Never better. Leonard’s colloquial way of saying he is doing very well. Don’t give up on me! A way of asking a person to continue to support and have faith in you, even if the situation looks bad. Here, Leonard is asked Dr. Sayer to still try and help him despite the increasing severity of his ticks. It’s like a light switch goes off. Something has to happen to bring me back.
