Monster Volume 8 : My Nameless Hero Chapter the Sixty-Sixth Aim For the Light - Page 141 - [Carstensen St., Munich] People: Are you still working, Doctor?! His head's bleeding!! No, no, my baby was first!! Chapter 66 : Aim For the Light People: Owie, it hurrrrrrts!! Quit yer damn yappin' kid, it's just a broken arm!! Stop shouting over there. Sit down and wait your turn!! Yeah, yeah. No matter how much you shout, there's only one doctor here. Am I right? - Page 142 - Man: What's that long thing ya got there? Tenma: Huh? Oh... uh... nothing... Is the doctor here that famous? Man: Yeah, of course! If this doctor wudn't here, all the Asians in town would be dyin', especially us Vietnamese! Tenma: Oh, I see... Man: You ain't Vietnamese, is ye? Tenma: No... I'm not... Man: Hey, wait your turn! You don't look so great, but the injured come first. Tenma: No... I'm not here as a patient... Man: Hey, siddown and wait!! People: C'mon, hurry up, Doctor!! I told you, my son's first!! Tenma: Pardon me! Man: What the hell?! Stay in line!! - Page 143 - Tenma: Excuse me... Doctor, I want to ask you something... Doctor: How many times do I have to tell you?! Please wait outside!! Tenma: Huh?! Chapter 66 : Aim For the Light Doctor: I don't have time for that now!! - Page 144 - Tenma: {Female... And...} Doctor: Didn't you hear me?! Get out!! Tenma: {Wait a minute... How old is this doctor...?} Doctor: I'm suturing right now, don't bother me!! It's your fault if anything happens to this patient!! Tenma: {Stabbed in the thigh... looks like a knife wound... The stitches are cleanly done... But...} You should have inserted a drain tube! Doctor: Keep quiet over there!! - Page 145 - Tenma: ...otherwise, you should take him to an actual hospital! Doctor: An ACTUAL hospital?! Oh, please... this is... Tenma: ...not a hospital!! It's obvious. You're not a real doctor! Doctor: If I could take them to a real hospital, I would have done so already. Most of the people here are illegal immigrants and residents. If they went to a hospital, they'd be arrested... and then deported back to their home countries! How many of these people do you think have died because they couldn't go to a real hospital?! Don't give me your accusations when you don't know half the truth yourself!! - Page 146 - Tenma: Insert a drain tube! Doctor: Huh? Tenma: The chance is high he was stabbed with a dirty knife! If you don't drain it, the inner part of the wound will fester and turn into an abcess!! Doctor: O... okay! Tenma: Undo one or two of the stitches... Doctor: Okay! Tenma: Insert the drain tube about 5 centimeters... - Page 147 - Tenma: There, well done! Doctor: Whewww. Okay, who's the next patient? (wobble) - Page 148 - Tenma: Are you awake?! I asked your patients. They said you've been here 48 hours straight. Is that right? - Page 149 - Tenma: I checked out the patients you already worked on. Pretty good for an unlicensed doctor. How old are you? Girl: Seventeen... Tenma: Wow, that's really young... You're good enough to be a legitimate medical practitioner... Girl: Maybe... The doctor who used to work here left his equipment and disappeared... Tenma: Having tools doesn't mean you can use them! Where did you learn to operate like that? Girl: My father... Was that doctor... Tenma: Was...? - Page 150 - Girl: My father was a Vietnamese doctor... he brought me here to East Germany to study... and then opened this clinic... But then the wall fell... We wanted to help as many Asian immigrants as we possibly could... And then... ...my father was murdered by a gang of lowlifes who called themselves Neo-Nazis. He was simply murdered... just for the color of his skin. - Page 151 - Girl: I was sent to an orphanage. Later, I was adopted by a German couple... But those people only took me in out of a sense of public duty. I was just their poor little yellow-skinned girl... So I ran away. I'd always helped my father at his work... I read all the medical books he left behind... I decided to continue on, doing what my father had done! Move! I'll take care of the rest. Tenma: There you go! Don't play too rough if you want it to heal quickly. Boy: Okaaay! Girl: All right, next patient... Tenma: They're all done. - Page 152 - Tenma: You should go back home and study! In this country, they give people who want to learn a chance! Girl: You seem to be a real doctor. Are you telling me to stop because I'm bad at it?! Tenma: That's not what I mean at all! I just... Girl: If I leave, what will happen to the people here?! Who's going to take care of them?! Tenma: No... I meant... - Page 153 - Boy: MOMMYYYYY!! Girl: W... what happened?! Woman: My... my pimp wents nuts... pulled a gun on me... Ugh... Boy: MOMMYYYY!! Girl: You walked all the way here, even after you were shot?! Boy: Mommy said you'd help her...!! Girl: B... but... Boy: Please!! Please, save my mommy!! - Page 154 - Girl: O... okay, don't worry! Leave it to me!! Boy: Please, Doctor!! Girl: A prostitute... It's only these kind of people that have to suffer things like this... I want to do something for them... But... I just can't... Tenma: Let's get her up on the operating table. Lift her legs!! Girl: I can't!! This time we have to take her to a hospital!! Tenma: If we take her to a hospital, it'll be too late!! Girl: I know that I have limits to what I can and cannot do!! And this is just too much!! - Page 155 - Tenma: Don't give up until the end!! As long as your patient breathes, you NEVER give up hope!! DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!! - Page 156 - Tenma: If the nerves in the inner stomach are damaged, she may suffer immediate drop of blood pressure and go into shock. But if she managed to walk all the way here, she must be in preshock from steadily decreasing blood pressure! Looking at the entry wound, I'd say there's a high chance the spleen has been hit! In other words, if we perform open stomach surgery while doing a transfusion, there is hope! Now, let's begin! Take the scalpel! - Page 157 - Girl: Sound asleep. Tenma: It was miraculous that there was no damage to the digestive system when we opened up her stomach. We were fortunate that the damage was limited only to the spleen. A splendid operation! Girl: Only because you were there... Boy: Mommy... (hmmya) - Page 158 - Girl: Dr. Tenma... Stay here! Tenma: I... I came here to ask you something. About this article... "Blue Sophie"... also known as the "Red Hindenburg"... It says that the first person to the scene of her murder... Was you... Girl: That's right... - Page 159 - Tenma: May I ask you what it was like? Girl: I ran over there that night when someone called me. She was shot right through the head. Instant death. I've seen all kinds of things like that. But this was the first time I... When I entered the room, the first feeling I got was... This was not a robbery... it was not an act of hate... She was simply murdered... - Page 160 - Tenma: Johan... (shf) In a world of darkness, you'll only sink further in... Aim for the light. You got that? Study hard! I know you can do it. - Page 161 - Tenma: I know you'll be a fantastic doctor. Girl: Ah... Wait, where are you going, Dr. Tenma?! You look... You look like the kind of person who is sinking into a greater darkness. You'll come back, won't you... Dr. Tenma... - Page 162 - - Chapter 66 Owari -
