Hokkaido University Hospital provided free annual physical exams for middle and university students, and this goodwill gesture had earned them an excellent reputation among the public.
After all, it was a significant expense.
What people didn't know, however, was that Hokkaido University Hospital collected data for the purpose of selecting organs for wealthy clients willing to pay top dollar for organ transplants.
Organ transplant surgery was already well-established, but finding a compatible organ was rare, and many who wished to undergo such surgery would often die waiting. At Hokkaido University Hospital, however, this problem didn't exist—as long as you had the money, there would always be organs waiting in line for you.
The hospital's qualifications, equipment, and environment were all in place. Panasonic Toyoshige and some of the hospital's senior staff involved, including surgeons, were making a fortune off this dark business, with mouths dripping with oil.
