Team Medical Dragon

I really liked the last two arcs because it dealt more with the characters' lives/emotions rather than the politics of the medical world. Gahhh that arc about Noguchi's son killed me....so

akira and masayoshi do/did love each other even now... MAN I wish masayoshi and akira could've ended up together happily but at the same time I ship asada and akira really hard :-(

Asada & Katou need to get together already.

Wishful thinking, she made her choice years ago.

Man, I love that guy. He's creepy, disgusting, selfish and power hungry, but I like him xD

I'm starting to root for the underdog and magnificent bastard...

Man... Why is this guy so god damn creepy?

because, its basicly every asshole money grubbing, god complex person rolled into one person... even his face makes you wanna punch him into a bloody heep.

Oh my god in the 120s chapters, I don't see why they're making such a fuss... AB blood (diregarding the Rh factor here) is the universal recipient, meaning that people with AB blood can accept blood from any other blood type.

 

...I should stop complaining haha

Yeah, we went through all this a while back. More than likely this is after the doctor who was advising the writer had passed away and from then on made mistakes with the medical details or just fudged some things in an attempt to make the manga more exciting.
As for the other post you made, did you really need to go into that much detail because the member of the scanlation team wrote Left Aorta and not Left Atrium? People make mistakes, especially when they are trying to get a release out.

I've let a few things slide, but this one's just ridiculous. The mitral, also known as the bicuspid atrioventricular valve, is, as the name indicates, a valve located between an atrium and a ventricle. There are two atrioventricular valves in the heart: the tricuspid and mitral valve. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle (which pumps blood to the lungs), whearas the mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle (pumps blood to the body). The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The valve between the left ventricle and aorta (there is only one aorta, so saying left aorta makes no sense at all) is the aortic semilunar valve. Mitral regurgitation (or mitral insufficiency) has nothing to do with the aorta.
>_>
 
Wheeew, there goes my anatomy rant.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

So yeah, professor I need you to "retire early" like nowish.  I have plans to put a easy chair and bar stool over there you know for my mid-day drinking sessions

Don't die, Noguchi

wow, he actually gets sick huh...if he dies, this manga will surely get a LOT more peaceful.

 

this chapters noguchi reminds me of gary oldman vampire, especially here.

Come on, a manga about a cardiac team and their biggest enemy has a HEART condition. I mean every victory they have comes from heart surgery. He'll have surgery, someone either facing death or maybe events leading up to the surgery will change him, perhaps the thought of living to see his grandson.

My grandfather passed away from an aortic aneurysm

Thanks for the new chapter!

i know a guy who survived a rupture because he lived only a few minutes away from the hospital. and there was another who died before the ambulance arrived, only 45 years old. i lost the best teacher i've ever had that day.

This is a manga modeled on reality. And in reality, things tend to be ugly. The art only accentuates what the creator's intentions are. Plus, it's nice to see rather realistic art for once. As a premed student, it's especially rewarding to see.

The way this author draw people, especially their eyes, is some of the creepiest stuff I've come across in manga. Its just really unsettling.  I'm not saying this manga deserves a horror catagory or anything, but for the last few chapters or so I've just been waiting for someone to snap and do some serial killer style shit.

 

Anyone out there know what I'm talking about or am I being overly sensitive?

I think you are over-reacting. They are actually fairly accurate depictions of how people look when they are scared or shocked. 

Your typical manga artist that has their character pretty much dead pan everything (typically they just move their eye-brows and change their mouth shape) and then uses monologues and incredibly overt signals such as profuse sweating, steam coming out of ears etc. to show strong emotions. It's actually refreshing to see such a realistic depiction of faces without the cheap theatrics to convey drama and emotion.

He's also gone for fairly realistic depictions of people and I wouldn't be surprised if many of the characters are actually based on a real person who the mangaka has gotten to model the different facial expressions for.

Can anyone explain to me what Noguchi actually gains by having someone he likes succeed him if he's retiring anyway? I know at the start it was that he would get recognition from Katou's batista thesis, but now I just don't get what he's after

Influences, prestige and money.  Being influential in Japan is similar to how good a lobbyist is in the US.  Even if you are retired, you would still be ask for consultations which isn't exactly free (they've a kickback system there, it isn't considered a kickback there since it's ingrained into their culture, but it is what it is).  Along with that, he can still push his own agendas post retirement should he retain his influences.  Aside from consultation, he will remain in the loop.  Should an advantageous situation happens, he would be able to take advantage by investing into it.

Power is fading from noguchi as the story goes on.

Question: I'm at around chapter 80. Does Asada ever fail?
