Helmut is taken wounded to the military hospital, where all three meet in his sickroom. Plagued by throat cancer, he followed the retrial from his sickroom. Sir Hugo cannot bear to enter Damian's sickroom. He then seals Strahm in the sickroom, and leaves the plant. "Life in the Sickroom" is considered to be one of Martineau's most under-rated works. In 2010 the single "2-2-3 Fridges/Rid" appeared on Sickroom Records.
