Dr. Akagi Fuu
has just arrived from Okayama.
:00:06
It is our great pleasure
to welcome him.
:00:27
I practice in the country,
in the middle of nowhere.
:00:32
I'm sorry to miss your meetings.
:00:35
Seeing Professor Mikawa today,
looking so fit,
:00:40
I suddenly feel much younger.
:00:44
Now,
:00:48
I'd like to make a request.
:00:51
Following the "Manchuria Incident,"
in 1931,
:00:54
a few cases of jaundice were noted,
with hypertrophy of the liver.
:00:59
Five years later, the number
of these cases rose sharply.
:01:04
Most patients
suffering from the flu
:01:07
also had hypertrophy of the liver.
:01:11
So, after 4 or 5 years of the same
diagnosis over and over,
:01:15
it's a liver disorder,
"it's your liver",
:01:17
I became known as "Dr. Liver."
:01:20
Many of my patients left me,
tired of my repetitve diagnoses.
:01:22
Currently, 90% of pneumonia
:01:27
flu and digestive disorder cases
ars accompanied
:01:31
by hypertrophy of the liver.
:01:37
I've compiled case histories.
:01:39
I have 1,500 of them so far.
:01:43
But I do not intend
to keep them to myself.
:01:47
They are at your disposal,
eminent researchers.
:01:52
I only hope
they will be of service to you.
