Wirth all these life-threatening emergency situations on the island it really makes you wonder if it is cursed. Given the low number of inhabitants the numbers sure seem extremely high.
Also, has nobody ever heard of helicopters in this manga? Call the mainland, have them send out an emergency team.

It's a medical manga. It wouldn't really be a medical manga if there wasn't many cases. lol. It's also been spread over a year and a half. So the big cases are not really that frequent.

It's still nonsense. That island has like what, 200 inhabitants? We've had like 15 or 20 really serious cases so far. I don't know what your experiences are, but in my surroundings there's nowhere near 1-in-10 serious, life-threatening injuries or illnesses per year.
Sure, as a medical manga it needs patients. But then the setting is just badly chosen. And honestly, giving the age structure of the island, like 85% of his work should be geriatric stuff.

There's around a thousand people on the island (chapter 1). It's also been a year and a half since the story's begun. Since then, there's been
Takehiro's appendicitis (on island)
Uchi's AAA (on island)
Hoshino's drowning (on island)
Yukako's eclampsia (on island)
Tatsumi and Kunio in the landslide (on island)
Abe's mom with her sepsis and Dietman Ashida with just his kidney stone (on island)
Hostage taking (on island)
WW2 bomb explosion (on island)
Masato falling off mountain (on island)
Kumagai's surgery (off island)
Okuda's echinococcus (on island)
Fumiko's breech birth (tourist on island)
Food poisoning (on island)
So maybe 12 total on island incidents out of a total population of around 1000 over a year and half. That doesn't seem too bad to me. And we don't see all the common, dull clinic visits, many of which are probably geriatric (which isn't necessarily what the mangaka wants to show us) and which Dr. Koto also commented about in chapter 1. It just never bothered me when I was reading it.
