Verdict: A Brazilian gem.  

In the near future a man waiting for a subway train coughs and coughs, and then the train is delayed, and he keeps coughing.  Along the platform is an Instant Doctor kiosk.  He enters and AI takes over. Would he like a diagnosis? Yes. Result: bronchitis.  Would you like treatment? Yes. A vapour descends and his congestion clears, leaving him with a happy smile for only a few credits.  Then AI in the kiosk asked if he would like the second diagnosis? Second? Well, why not. There is time before the train is due.  The second diagnosis is…an inoperable, fatal brain tumour that will haemorrhage in 27 days and 3 hours with mortal results. That will be a further 60 credits. Staggering out of the automated kiosk he is no longer smiling and oblivious as the train pulls alongside the platform.
