You are a surgeon from the US who decides to lend his/her services to help the people of Australia, who were victims of a huge tidal wave.

You are flown to Sydney, Australia to help out the victims of the biggest tidal wave in history. The city was all but destroyed, and hospitals around the country are packed with crying, bleeding victims. Your help is greatly appreciated since you are one of the best doctors in the US, where you specialize in chest injuries. When you arrive, you are immediately put to work setting bones, sewing up torn limbs, and treating victims for shock. Among the victims you find one man who has suffered severe injuries to his lungs from submersion; his lungs are partially collapsed, and he is in severe pain. You remember a similar case back in the US where a man who went through a similar trauma fully recovered after undergoing a new procedure pioneered by an old med-school friend of yours. Knowing how important the process could be to other doctors, your friend posted the process on his web site in the US.


You find a computer and try to get the information from his web site, since that has become the only means of accepted communication. Being that the content of the material on his web site contains medical terms, the Australian authorities jam the message so that you can not see the material on his web site. You forgot that governments do not allow information about medication, politics, war, sex, cars, and many other forbidden subjects to pass through their country on the internet.

You try frantically to contact the Australian authorities sensing that your patient is in his last hours. The government officials say that they can not change the rules and that any further attempt to receive the information will result in your imprisonment. Needless to say, your patient dies and there was nothing that you could do to save him.
