Authorities are hunting a foreign woman who revived an old lady whose heart had stopped.
The incident began at the “Tokyo Bay Grand Fireworks Festival,” held in Tokyo’s central Chuou ward, where a 68-year-old woman on her way home suddenly suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and collapsed, her heart having stopped.
Witnesses report a passing foreigner immediately went to assist, using her medical training to help resuscitate the woman. After reviving the woman she slipped away.
The woman is described as being blonde and white, in her late twenties or early thirties, and an English speaker who introduced herself as a doctor.
A hotel employee who brought his hotel’s defibrillator to the scene explains her disappearance – “It was dark and extremely crowded, and before we realised it the lady doctor had disappeared. The four of us remaining were left wondering who on earth she was.”
Paramedics summoned to the scene arrived after she had left report the old lady could have died without timely intervention. She is said to be recuperating.
Officials with the local emergency services are looking for the doctor – they wish to present her with an official letter of thanks.

Cool.
Soon there will be an urban legend in Japan about a female blonde foreigner who helps people that are about to die before their time. Maybe there will be an anime about it too.
That would be nice.
:-)
Maybe there'll be some hentai about it :3
Jerk! Were taking about a shounen hit here. A women skilled enough to be whoever she wants and hides from the CIA because she's an experimental being. Think Black Jack meets...
....you know? That game where a guy who was experimented upon was loose in New York as a virus spreads? Prototype?
Then it wouldn't be shounen. It'd be josei.
Verifying... Verifying...

A heart warming story on sankaku? I'm quite surprised...
I'm surprised they're not looking to arrest her. If she'd been a man and the woman had been 60 years younger, they would.
THE Doctor? Did last regeneration turned him into female?
Mmm Sexy
A good story for making a manga.
- a mysterious foreigner who assist those in need and revive old folks.
Sweet story... Thought, it makes me wonder what will we hear from sankaku next. Maybe its start of a new heartwarming sankaku?
this is so awesome
That story sounds pretty awesome. She seems to be either the stoic type who wants to evade annoying people praising her, or she is on the run from something, like the yakuza or the police.
"EVERYone runs."

...
Go on...
Wonder if i could do this too. Had 1st aid lessons in school.
But never had to use it and its a long time since these lessons. ^^
If this is a plot for an anime it would go:
*Woman slips away from the scene. Snow covered the streets slowly and cars pass quickly through the night....
"My name is Iris Lowe"
"I have the power to revolutionize the world...."*
What's with the use of the very misleading word "hunted"? Has the said doctor done something wrong in saving a life? That word alone seems to suggest as such when it is nothing of the kind.
If Sankaku wants to maintain its usual brand of sensationalism, it can still go along the lines of "Foreign Lazarus Sought By Authorities", but it really doesn't need to spin it into something that sounds negative. IMHO
well journalism need a kinky title to sell
I drew some concerns from the erroneous usage of "hunted" as well, Kinny.
Seasoning an article in this day in age is synonymous with adding a touch of murder, no matter what the source material, it would seem.
They'll say "here's your award!" and "show us your gaijin card" in the same breath, with half a dozen immigration officials ready to arrest her at the drop of a hat...
Wow whats so mysterious about CPR?
I wonder if she even has a "Plan" to begin with.
They realised her healing powers were not that of a mere mortal and want to whisk her away for a thorough examination. eg: use crazy tech to steal her ub3r healing abilities, or eat her to gain immortality. Her sensei will be displeased with the publicity. ANIME MOVIE: where sensei goes through impossible odds to save his greatest student.
I'm betting the pic is cuter than she was,lol
woah for a minute i though that they're looking for her to be arrested for not having a license. good to see that they are actually some good people once in a while ^^
Somehow, the description had me thinking of Nino-san from Arakawa Under The Bridge.
aha! so all angels are foreign?!
Well, have you ever heard of a Japanese angel?
Albino tengu.... cursed tengus with the swordsmanship to cut steel balls.....
@ Japanese angels = Albino tengu:
Thank, now I have soda on my keyboard! lol
...and lesbian tendencies.
Thank god, such kind of person still exist(the kind that just have saved a life but don't want to be a hero...)
or she thought a thank from an old hag was more of a slap in the face than a thank ;d
It's time to begin the operation - I WONT LET YOU DIE!
When I read the title, I thought of a zombie being born for a sec there. Not someone saving another persons life. My mind is mush, full of zombie survival thoughts!
You just had an overdose of HSotD, comrade.
Traveling Cleric looking for group?
Side quest: Revive old woman.

+ 5 Points for medical skills
+ 9000 Points for reputation
Quest completed
If she would've spoken japanese, it could've been Madaraki Fran..
...and I thought that this was gonna be another depressing, Bizarro-World "punish the good samaritan" story here.
Good thing this ain't one of them.
the doctor will probably be then later arrested for being foreign and then treated like an animal because japan doesn't want to lose face to some person being nice in their godforsaken country.
Not just any old letter of thanks, but an official letter of thanks! It also comes with a free membership to the Jelly of the Month Club! See, Japan values it's citizens who can still afford to live! And it's willing to award foreigners who save lives, not just with a slip of paper but with a semi-large near-posterboard size slip of paper! Never let it be said that the government of Japan is not generous to the core!!!
in the states no one would have bothered, too afraid of getting sued or arrested. heck in the states you can get arrested for not helping.
japanese version of "touch by an angel"?
Cool, now let's get back to the typical creepy/depressing/hateful news we're more used to here on SanCOm.
Just wonderful, hope the anonymous doctor receive it!
this news is diferent from the usual lol!
Way to redeem yourself, white people.
Way to troll, fake minority.
I wonder if that misterious lady wore a black cape as
well.
Or she was seen along a cheery 5 yrs old girl.
inb4 christian fags want to sue the woman for intervening with gods work.
"that woman was suppose to die and be by the lords side"
@ 09:56: Stupid troll is stupid.
I actually expected this to be about someone being sued for reviving a suicidal woman or something like that. My faith in human kind has been dramatically lifted.
Stupid troll is stupid.
@ 09:40:
Sorry, my comment accidentally posted in reply to your post, when in fact I meant to reply to the one above, who was trolling. My bad.
There is good in this world.
Fuck Yeah!
Lol, I was thinking more of a female Dr. Tenma from Monster, but Blackjack would also be fitting. XD
Man~ Me wunt.
Things like this, only happen in Japan.
"The woman is described as being blonde and white, in her late twenties or early thirties"
I bet she was like 16 in reality...
Heaven Canceller in action folks.
So, chances are that the old lady used her Imagine Breaker beforehand?
Ok that was a cool story, a female BlackJack indeed.
Yeah she's a real hero, but I bet they would have arrested her if the old woman passed away instead.
Nice to read a story involving Japan and have it show the non-racist side of things.
1. Luckily she didn't revive a loli.
2. Why's the letter in Japanese!?
japanese are obviously too ignorant to communicate in english...
i tough this willbe like... the japanese police are hunting her for breaking medical laws...she will get death sentence in case of capture....or something sankaku like lika that
That is one hell of a hardcore doctor... Quite badass tbh.
Phew... when I saw the headline I actually thought it was actually a malpraxis.
Amazing
just like an angel huh
With Black Jack style medical habits.
The trap had to make a get away before they checked his I.D.
Had she failed to save that person, this would be a manhunt for a murderer.
Seriously, when you're foreign in Japan you're a 5th class citizen you can't really do anything outside the tourist function without having some kind of red tape to stop you.
WTH? A happy story? Did I go to the wrong site?
Anyway good to hear some good news.
IT'S A TRAP!!!
They're gonna arrest her for practicing without a license!
Sure, I guess if you can find her and bring her to Justice.
They wish to give her a letter of thanks... and a summons to court for operating as a profession (doctor) without proof of a working visa.
Fucking awesome.
Jeez, with that headline, I initially thought they had come up with some retarded reason to arrest her.
They are not going to arrest her but the letter is there to try and find her so the old lady can sue her.
Quite possibly.
Yeah, I think its possible. Some old folks nowadays just want to die as prolonging their life is misery (I'm not promoting mercy-kills thank you).
But she did the smart thing - slip away in the darkness. Getting recognition does not mean getting awarded.
It's times like this that really make...FapFapFapFapFapFap
Wow, Sankaku Complex actually reporting on something good for once, instead of the constant, (OMG Final Fantasy XIV suxorz!1! The worldz is over!!) stories.
Cool story. Kenzo Tenma Modus Operandi.
"hunted"? Isn't "hunted" in the title used out of context? LOL
I actually fell for the article title.
another good reason to read the article completly,
Damnit Artefact, deceived by another one of these titles.
It was mai waifu.
waifu is for 2d fool.
maybe she's 2.5D
Aww, a change of pace in Sankaku
a Heart Warming Human Story =3
Female Dr. BlackJack?
Old women: res plz
Doctor: Resurrection !
I like that story. It have me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Title is misleading.
Wow. Best 'hunt the person' news I heard in a while. Most of these hunts are for human monsters that doesn't deserve to live.
Not Backjack, Ray ;)
You mean Madaraki Fran?
lol
i just think it was her >_<
What she did is a very saintly thing indeed...
And she didn't even make a big deal about it too since saving that old lady's life was reward enough for that doctor...
News like these brighten my day...
the mysterious doctor must be a ghost, white lady?. hmm a bleach related or a new theory that ghost can revive the living???.
Wow...I'm pressed people like this still exist. I wonder if it's just as likely for a hot alien cat person to come live with me....
Am I in Sankaku?
The URL says so but this article seems too warm and bright for a Sankaku article.
@ AiEm 10:34:
You don't understand... they're _HUNTING_ her, with dogs, bows and arrows, etc.
The certificate comes with a neat little frame for it, so it can be attached to her gravestone.
correction - flaming bows and arrows
Don't forget the torches and forks!
the bows are on fire too?
And then she is dragged back in chains.
I too thought of blackjack right off the bat upon reading it.
That or House. No, not House, she didn't insult anybody. ^_^
It's been a while since I've fapped to a heart-warming human story =D
Artefact certainly trolled us good with that one. Hunted. lulz
lol
is fap your replacement for joy?
Allow me to perform the Fap of Joy!
good girl!
There is also a chance that she lost her doctor licence and was afraid of reprimands for practicing ?
^ No way, first aid to the best of one's ability is a civil duty (at least where I live, though I don't think it's any different in Japan). You don't need a license for that.
Fapping is joy!
Still, a good Samaritan is good.
Thought of something else at the title but nvm......
Hope she'll come forth!
Disappearing doctor?
There is a chance for a lifetime movie-like story here. When authorities find her to give her the letter of thanks, they discover she's actually an illegal immigrant.
Then, a long and emotional court case ends with her gaining citizenship.
thank you but i had to get home to play some games... asap.
Dirty Dingus: Learn to read, boy.
"Change of pace"? Them authorities want to Arrest that Gaijin for touching the lips of one of their own!!! Then squirrel away her into a Politicians hospital to actually save fatcat lives instead of writing them off~ like poor mister Kon.
I know of how they handle Every type of illness and I'm grateful I never got sick when I was there~
LOL
easy, if they have the picture of the scene or even a sketch, put onto internet, the internet will find it in no time.
Fuck you
lol
Nice misleading title, I clicked the thread with my hate face on >:/
Oh you!
lol
Nice misleading title, I clicked the thread with my hate face on >:/
Oh you Arte...
Internets is serious business
I second that LOL.
Nice article. Blond hawt doc perhaps? WIN
I feel like I just got trolled
Just keep on fappin' away to advice dogs and lolcats, right? Yeah, the internet is good for that...
You guys sure act like it, even though it's not the same.
I second thee
@Dvv
It's not? You guys sure had me fooled.
They may lurk everywhere (EVERYWHERE!), but that doesn't make everywhere 4chan.
Quite a relief actually.
Sankaku =/= 4chan
I can't fap to this. lulz
U're right. Grammar does however.
maybe if ur yoda on crack. otherwise, its the worst sentence structure ive ever seen.
^ You're an idiot and an illiterate one to boot. It IS perfectly valid English grammar, just a bit archaic.
That is correct grammar you tard...
Cold and cynical Jewish Sarcasm does not a smart person make.
tooo funny
LOL!
I thought that when I read this too. Female Tenma would be a possibility as well.
Obviously, it was Ray.
"A change of heart".
FOOL! We can only expect horrors the internet has never seen before at this pace..... FLEE, FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!
That's actually the first thing that came to mind too XD
She was in the right place at the right time.
BlackJack is going way too far. She just had someplace she had to be, like every single other fucking person you see walking about.
now they need to hunt that warm hearted bitch and thank her properly
this is my first heartwarming story for 2010! :3
I'm sorry for you... =(
Dr. Lady Blackjack
Female Dr. BlackJack?
No way!!!
It's Female Dr. K.
get it right!!!!!!!!
Perhaps there will be a chase scene where the police corner the doctor and we'd have a Heart Pumping story.
