"Which lunatic female has done this to you?" a friendly voice asks as it prepares another iodine gauze.
"Does it matter?" asks the dark bearded man in a pale tone, sucking in his mouth from the pain. Sweat is beading on his forehead as the mask-wearing doctor turns to him again.

"You should think about changing this lifestyle..."
"Well, I"ll think about it when I"m not in so much pain!"
"Ooh... This is the beginning, my friend..." replies the doctor, pityingly. "Believe me, whatever comes after this will make you want to die..."
