"The patient" is the unconscious man encountered here: https://glowfic.com/replies/1862650#reply-1862650

Resolves YES if he regains consciousness, even temporarily. Resolves NO if he first dies or is cryopreserved, or if at the time the story ends the prevailing view in-world is that he is extremely unlikely to ever wake (e.g. they've declared him to be in a persistent vegetative state).

Fine print:

• I will not bet in this market.

• If the resolution seems ambiguous, I will request a word-of-god resolution by Swimmer963.

• If the story is finished before this can be resolved, this resolves N/A. (Note the authors may choose to split the story across multiple threads.)

• As long as the story has not been abandoned (2 months during which the authors neither add to it nor declare that they intend to do so within another month), the close date will be pushed back as necessary. If the story is abandoned before the market can be resolved, it resolves N/A.
