This is the single-room ward for the critically ill. Redbeard sat beside the patient's pillow. As soon as Baoben opened the door, Redbeard pointed at the patient with his lower jaw. Red Beard: You go to the clinic. This old patient is not so much a patient as a living corpse. Baoben frowned, checked his pulse, listened to his breathing, and opened his eyelids to look at his pupils. Baoben: I've lost consciousness, I'm afraid it won't be half an hour. Redbeard: This is the medical record. (hands him a piece of paper) Look at this and then talk about the disease name. Baoben: (After reading it, he said) It was stomach cancer. Redbeard: No, there is an example of this in your notes. Baoben: ... Redbeard: Cancer is good, the spleen is an immobile internal organ, so when cancer occurs, you don't feel pain. When you feel pain, it has already spread, so there is nothing you can do. This case is very rare. , so keep that in mind. Baoben: So, is this an incurable disease? Red Beard: There is no cure... Not just this disease, most diseases have no cure... Although we all study medicine, it is impossible to know everything... Doctors know the symptoms and processes, and they can only do what they can do with life. That's all we can do. All we can do now is to fight poverty and ignorance, and we can only make up for the insufficiency of medical skills. Baoben wanted to say something, but he stopped. Redbeard: (as if angry about it) You want to say that it should be handled by the government? Everyone says this and it's fine, but so far, the government has done nothing against poverty and ignorance. Has there been any law against poverty and ignorance? Baoben: But isn't the facility of this sanatorium funded by the Shogunate for this purpose? Redbeard: This place is also better than nothing. The problem is still fundamental, as long as there is some way to deal with poverty and ignorance, many diseases can be avoided. No, there are only symptoms, which have always been hidden in human fear. .

Red Beard quotes

  • Genzo Tsugawa: We eat here. It's called the dining room. We must not eat or drink in our rooms. They're all Red Beard's rules.

  • Genzo Tsugawa: She's a special patient. The whole house is a prison. Osugi has the key and no one gets in. The girl isn't let out either. She's called "the mantis."

    Dr. Noboru Yasumoto: The mantis?

    Genzo Tsugawa: It's a good nickname. The female eats the male after they mate. She'd do the same thing. No one knows who she is, but it seems she's the daughter of a merchant. She killed three clerks there. She'd seduce them first. When they'd get excited over her, she'd stab them with a hairpin.
