If you are his "patient", he will tell you, "There, there, it will be all right" and he won't leave you alone until you're well again.
After Tadashi died, Hiro upgraded Baymax and changed it into a rocket-fueled fighting machine who can fly above the city of San Fransokyo and take out any enemy. The robot carries Tadashi's selfless personality and through him, Hiro can still keep a little piece of his brother always.
