Dr. DMAT manga series featured in Kindle sale

The manga series ‘Dr. DMAT: Hippocrates Under the Rubble’, written by Akio Kikuchi with original work by Yo Takano, is currently featured in a Kindle sale offering an 88% point reduction on its complete 11-volume set.

The series explores the intense realities of Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT) in Japan. Unlike standard emergency responders, DMAT teams—typically consisting of one doctor, two nurses, and one coordinator—operate during the acute phase of a disaster, often within the first 48 hours. Their responsibilities extend beyond direct medical treatment to include hospital support, patient transport coordination, and securing essential supplies and communications.

The narrative follows protagonist Hibiki Yakumo, an internist who must navigate the ethical complexities of disaster medicine, specifically the process of triage. The story depicts the difficult decisions medical professionals must make when resources and time are limited, such as prioritizing patients based on the likelihood of survival to save the greatest number of lives.
