Citizens of Onorata- I am pleased to announce one of my patients just successfully underwent an experimental surgery to free him of his cancer without a full removal of his stomach. Everything went swimmingly, and with new breakthroughs in rapid cell regeneration, he'll be back up and about in a matter of no time*! Please wish him well if you know

...Experimental?

You'd better not be talking about who I think you're talking about.

On the other hand, the rest of that sounds pretty good...

Well, surgery only ever comes in two kinds, experimental or conventional. I assure you, it was perfectly safe and thoroughly tested, it just hasn't caught on yet.

Ah- but do keep an eye on him for me. You know, for anything that seems.... strange.

....Strange? What kind of strange?

Wait, what was that other thing you said, about having spare parts after putting something back together? Oh my god, you didn't leave one of his kidneys out or something, did you?!

[alwayssurgery]

Ahaha- Of course not. I count everything when I start and everything when I'm done and I dont call it a day until the number turns out the same three consecutive times.

Well, if the swelling never goes down, or seems to get worse, call me immediately.

Well, that's reassuring. I think.

So...you're saying that he's going to be okay, right?

I am completely confident he will have a speedy and complete recovery. He was actually one of the best candidates for this procedure I've seen.

It's amazingly hard to find people who haven't been genetically modified in this city, and that always throws everything off into the unknown.

He's one of a kind if you ask me.

I guess I owe you one.

I was just doing my job, mam. But I love seeing it when my patients have loved ones to go home to.

He's a very lucky man.
