   "'Since you were here with us last, we've built up
a good medical unit--couple of licensed DOM's on the
staff now, some new therapy machines--and while we 
don't see that many Ninja Death Touch cases, your
victim has a better chance the sooner you can get him
up here.'" (VL, Ch. 9, p. 154)

p. 154 "Licensed DOM's" = Doctor of Medicine?
