Mnemonic

If you put your ear really close to a bone with marrow still in it, you'll hear the scooters going zuwee (ずい) as they move the blood around inside there.

Hints

That's how doctors can tell if there's something wrong with your bone marrow. If they can't hear the zuuwee of the scooters, you're gonna die soon. I mean, maybe, I'm not a doctor.
