Take the scalp with it. Yes, Dr. Strangers. 1, 2, 3, 4. Suture. And more light. Yes, Dr. Bint. But the oil is running very low. Are there any more on that? No, Dr. The village carriers have brought in all the water they could find.

When is this daylight there will be more? This was a brigade hospital on the Chinese front in 1945. I called my assistant for scalpers, sponges, sutures, but they were only cymbals. Scalpers were ground-for-moved bayonets.

Sponges were wads of homegrown cotton, and the sutures were made of local sheep gut. I didn't call for anesthetics. There were none. It was very kind of you, Dr. Ben, to permit yourself to be impressed into service in our brigade hospital when you're on such an important mission.

As a former medical student of yours, I hope I have not taken too great an advantage of you. Dr. Cheng Wu was the only qualified doctor assigned to this brigade. The hospital was located in a series of caves, seemingly the only places of safety from Japanese dive bombers.
