6	-->'''Yuri:''' Don't panic, don't panic ... I can fix this. I have some alsulin I always carry...\
7	'''Sarin:''' Save it.\
8	'''Yuri:''' Wha-- how did you--?\
9	'''Sarin:''' I am a total magical badass.

11	* [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-3 Mori meets a patient]] infected with [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-4 a heretofore-incurable parasite.]] [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-5 Emphasis on "heretofore".]]
12	-->'''Aki:''' You -- you already have a plan?\
13	'''Mori:''' Not to toot my own horn, but I am a fairly fast thinker.
14	* [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-22 When Preston Chang (i.e. the Crax) is taking over Kili and Greg's shared mindscape and trying to talk Kili into giving up]]...
15	** [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-23 Greg spots the flaws in his strategy to break down Kili's spirit:]]
16	--->'''Chang:''' ''Worm!'' You are beneath my notice. You are not important and you never will be!\
17	'''Greg:''' That's me, alright. Joe Average. You could forget I'm there if you so much as blink while talking to me. No great strengths or weaknesses. ''Boring.'' On my own I'd be easy pickings for you too. I've got no special powers. However ... you've never tried to devour [[ThePowerOfFriendship two minds that can give each other strength]], and you've got no idea how to attack something like that.
18	** ...and [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-26 after figuring out how to beat him]]...
19	--->'''Chang:''' Hah! You don't even know what you're talking about, Greg.\

23	** Then, [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-28 when the last remnant of the Crax comes back for one last try,]] [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-5-page-29 Tomo returns and rescues them.]]

25	* [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-6-page-21 Sarin stops Kili's werewolf rampage with nothing but an ordinary knife.]]
26	-->'''[[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-6-page-23 Sarin:]]''' Striking a werewolf on the head with a knife blade is a symbolic act of civilization conquering the wilderness. Calling out their name as you do it helps, too. I've heard that if you're really good at it you can actually force them back to human when you do it.\
27	'''Tanica:''' Never heard of that one before.\
28	'''Sarin:''' Well, obviously, a lot of people who try it for the first time end up [[AnArmAndALeg losing a limb]], so it's not popular.
29
30	* After [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-9-page-44 Tomo and Greg]] help [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-9-page-45 Kili save everyone from the spirit Udo Larko summoned]], [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-9-page-46 Kili wolfs out, seizes him]] ... [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-9-page-47 and burns her tattoos onto his skin.]]
31	-->'''Kili:''' On me, they suppress my spirit vision. On a normal person, they cut it off completely. He'll never hurt anyone again.
32
33	* [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-10-page-4 A group of thieves invade the clinic Goro is getting her strength infusion at]] -- ''before'' she can get her strength infusion. Despite being outnumbered four to one, [[HandicappedBadass weak as a kitten]], and armed with nothing but whatever medical supples she can scavenge, she takes down three of them and foils their plot before anyone outside has a chance to come to her assistance.
34	-->'''[[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-10-page-14 Goro:]]''' Never underestimate a guerrilla defending their turf. This is a hospital. ''You're in my jungle now.''
35
36	* When Mori was in medical school, [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-12-page-13 her friend Lem was dying from abusing temporary sex-change potions]] to treat [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} his gender dysphoria]], and the doctors said there was no known treatment. Mori refused to take "we don't know what to do" for an answer, spent [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-12-page-14 a day and a half straight doing research]], and [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-12-page-15 saved Lem's life]] (incidentally fixing his gender dysphoria in the process).
37
38	* When Goro was dying at Tanica's [[PlantPerson roots]] after fighting Smith and [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-21 no-one could hear Tanica calling for help]], [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-28 she managed to save Goro's life]] by ''[[CastFromLifespan tearing out her own life force]]'' to [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-31 power a healing spell.]]
39	* ...and immediately afterwards, [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-32 Mori and Sarin attune a phoenix egg to Tanica in minutes]] to [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-34 save]] ''[[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-13-page-35 her]]'' life.
40
41	* In [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-15-page-01-the-ultimate-life-form Chapter 15]], Kili's rematch with [[OmnicidalManiac Preston Chang, also known as the Crax]], in which she [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-15-page-25 realizes that he's been dead the entire time]] and [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-15-page-29 banishes him to the afterlife]].

43	%% I'll need to come back in here and add some examples - I know I'm missing a lot.
44
45	* In Chapter 22, [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/ch-22-page-09 we see how Rina convinced Josh to ride to the rescue.]]
46	-->'''Rina:''' ''[wrapping up]'' That's the whole goddamn point of the Hearts Society. To help people who "can't be helped," and failing that, to give them hope we're trying!\
47	'''Josh:''' Cary will kill us.\
48	'''Rina:''' "Survival isn't enough." [[DoomedMoralVictor That applies to more than victims.]]
