Trivia
8-bit is a game art style in the 1980s' era (also known as 8-bit era due to the processor's architecture), which the game console's computing and displaying capability is limited.

In computer programming, a programming mistake is called a "bug", and the tool that assists to "catch" the "bugs" is called debugger. Using a Debugger to treat 8-bitten disease implies that the 8-bitten is a programming bug, which is an another joke in itself.

(Actually, as mentioned before, as an art style, it is basically impossible that a programming bug would cause a graphic to be 8-bit. A programming bug would more likely to cause the limbs to be distorted, or causes a character to pass through a wall.)

When idle or bored, 8-bitten patients sometimes perform a distinctive foot-tapping animation, followed by a shake of the index finger. This is borrowed from Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, who also appears in the hospitals' Arcade Machines. (This despite the fact that Sonic had very little presence on eight-bit systems, and is best known for his sixteen-bit games.)
