Plot synopsis

In an episode where the story is told in real time (with a clock shown in the bottom right corner of the screen to keep track of the elapsed time), a wounded soldier arrives at the camp with a lacerated aorta, and the doctors rush to perform an arterial graft within 20 minutes, or risk permanent paralysis.

gollark: Hmm, maybe I am to learn how to use `mmap` and other fun syscalls, for osmarksmalloc™.
gollark: I was confused and thought they meant *total* memory allocated or something. If it was just the size of the allocation it would... make sense, but probably be bee in various ways.
gollark: I could even implement an optimization in case your code is cool and frees many things, to prevent RAM overmetahyperuse.
gollark: It's very lightweight.
gollark: You won't even implement osmarksmalloc™?
