I am not in at the moment... If you are in need of medical attention please leave your name, phone number, nature of your complaint, seriousness of your condition, and how much you can afford to pay me. I will get back to you later.

In a world where the Grim Reaper could come for you at any time, one man walks the line between life and death. His name is Black Jack. His past is a mystery, but his medical skills are legendary. Known throughout the world as a mercenary doctor for hire, Black Jack asks no questions. He can keep the dying alive - for the right sum. All you have to do is pay his bill, and he's not cheap.
