1
00:00:26,676 --> 00:00:32,682
I, Kurihara Ichito, at Shinano University Hospital in Shinshu,

2
00:00:32,682 --> 00:00:38,688
am a 10th-year gastroenterologist with the Third Class, Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

3
00:00:38,688 --> 00:00:42,525
Dr. Kurihara, two reports came in from the helicopter to the Emergency Department.

4
00:00:42,525 --> 00:00:45,194
The urgent patient is a 66-year-old male.

5
00:00:45,186 --> 00:00:48,156
＜Shibata Dairi. He's a fourth-year gastroenterologist.

6
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:49,733
{\an7}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, THIRD CLASS
SHIBATA DAIRI (RIKYU)

7
00:00:48,164 --> 00:00:50,702
He likes Japanese tea so much, he's nicknamed Rikyu.

8
00:00:50,715 --> 00:00:52,717
Rikyu, have you contacted Dr. Hojo?

9
00:00:52,724 --> 00:00:54,824
I can't get hold of Dr. Hojo, after all

10
00:01:00,305 --> 00:01:05,852
{\an9}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, THIRD CLASS, MEDICAL INTERN
AYAKAWA MEGUMI (MISS)

11
00:01:00,132 --> 00:01:02,484
Ayukawa Megumi, medical resident

12
00:01:02,512 --> 00:01:07,133
During her introduction in front of the clinical professors, she aspired to become a pathologist.

13
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:09,653
We've been calling her "Miss" ever since.

14
00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:13,823
Me, Kurihara, in my 10th year. Rikyu, in my 4th year.

15
00:01:13,823 --> 00:01:16,826
Miss, intern. Not present is

16
00:01:16,826 --> 00:01:19,996
Dr. Hojo, nicknamed "Oni-Kiri," is our team leader.

17
00:01:19,996 --> 00:01:24,296
That's the summary of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Class 3.

18
00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:28,972
There's a mountain of doctors out there.

19
00:01:28,972 --> 00:01:31,491
All I have to do is take it easy...

20
00:01:31,491 --> 00:01:33,476
Dr. Usami, I need to consult with you.

21
00:01:33,476 --> 00:01:35,478
That's totally untrue

22
00:01:35,478 --> 00:01:37,497
Of course, I'm aware of that, but...

23
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:40,817
There's one case that's been bothering me.

24
00:01:40,817 --> 00:01:46,322
A hospital attached to a university's medical school. A university hospital.

25
00:01:46,322 --> 00:01:50,326
University hospitals have 600 beds and more than 1,000 doctors.

26
00:01:50,326 --> 00:01:52,979
At the top of the list are professors from each department of the university's medical school.

27
00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:58,068
Associate professors, lecturers, assistant professors, medical staff affiliated with the university hospital, graduate students, residents, part-time doctors.

28
00:01:58,076 --> 00:02:01,671
Graduate students, residents, part-time doctors.

29
00:02:01,671 --> 00:02:06,826
They form a huge pyramid, and I am at the bottom of the pyramid.

30
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:10,997
I'm a graduate student.

31
00:02:10,997 --> 00:02:13,983
A university hospital that provides cutting-edge medical care

32
00:02:13,983 --> 00:02:20,974
Differences in status, rules, conventions, precedents, unreasonableness, absurdity, contradictions.

33
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:27,330
It's pandemonium with a big roof called authority on top of it.

34
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:31,317
By the way, the reason why my way of speaking is somewhat old-fashioned is because

35
00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:36,656
I've been an admirer of Natsume Soseki since my school days.

36
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,143
Aah, I'm finally here.

37
00:02:40,143 --> 00:02:42,145
(knock)

38
00:02:42,146 --> 00:02:46,921
{\an9}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
USAMI SHOURYUU

39
00:02:42,145 --> 00:02:44,531
As I told you on the phone.

40
00:02:44,531 --> 00:02:47,533
There are currently no vacant beds in the gastroenterology ward.

41
00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:50,255
But an urgent case of hematemesis is actually being brought in by helicopter.

42
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:52,959
What about beds in the Emergency Department? Full.

43
00:02:53,323 --> 00:02:55,692
I owe the emergency department three days of beds

44
00:02:55,692 --> 00:02:58,478
for internal medicine patients last week. So I need to manage this time.

45
00:02:58,478 --> 00:03:00,647
How long have you been here, Kurihara-kun?

46
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:05,652
It's been 4 years since I came here from Honjo Hospital.

47
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:11,558
Oh, I see. I haven't told you about the bread story yet, have I?

48
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:15,252
Usami Sensei... There are 10 children here who are dying of hunger.

49
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:17,337
There's only one loaf of bread available.

50
00:03:20,454 --> 00:03:21,923
What would you do?

51
00:03:23,486 --> 00:03:24,844
Let's see...

52
00:03:26,156 --> 00:03:28,825
This is Associate Professor Usami's specialty

53
00:03:28,825 --> 00:03:32,517
so don't interrupt him and say, "It's an octopus in my ear."

54
00:03:32,532 --> 00:03:37,020
By the way, Associate Professor Usami's nickname is "Baker"

55
00:03:37,137 --> 00:03:41,641
You can't give one loaf of bread to ten children in ten equal portions.

56
00:03:41,821 --> 00:03:43,990
That will not save any of them.

57
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:48,645
Then, would you give all the bread to the weakest child?

58
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:52,482
Then the remaining 9 children will not be saved.

59
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:56,653
If I were you, I would not give the bread to the children

60
00:03:56,653 --> 00:04:00,056
who I judged would not survive. We don't give bread even to children

61
00:04:00,056 --> 00:04:03,493
who seem to have enough to eat. Then, who do give the bread to?

62
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:06,646
If it were me, I would give the bread

63
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:10,650
to the children who are certain to survive the present.

64
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:17,657
And then... wait for the next loaf to become available.

65
00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:20,159
I see.

66
00:04:20,159 --> 00:04:22,829
This is not Honjo Hospital.

67
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:26,816
Don't forget that this is a special hospital with special bread.

68
00:04:26,816 --> 00:04:29,752
That's all.

69
00:04:29,752 --> 00:04:35,475
However, a patient with hematemesis is currently... (vibrating)

70
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:37,977
It's me. What's wrong? Rikyu.

71
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:40,380
Another urgent patient?

72
00:04:40,177 --> 00:04:47,852
{\an8}JOINT CONFERENCE ON GASTROENTEROLOGY AND NEPHROLOGY

73
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,650
The CT scan didn't show any lesions in the kidneys, but the blood test...

74
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:48,173
On this day, every Thursday morning, a joint conference is held

75
00:04:48,186 --> 00:04:49,993
between gastroenterology and nephrology.

76
00:04:52,089 --> 00:04:57,111
Where is our Team Leader Hojo of Class 3...

77
00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:58,587
There

78
00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:03,886
Nicknamed "Demon Cutter", Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Class 3 Team Leader, Dr. Hojo

79
00:05:03,980 --> 00:05:08,641
I don't know how sharp his sword is, and if it can even cut even demons.

80
00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:13,646
In fact, I suspect that he's an alcoholic.

81
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,649
Always in the back seat again.

82
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:18,985
Good morning, Kuri-chan.

83
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:24,140
A hematemesis patient by helicopter in the morning, and then acute cholangitis?

84
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:27,160
The legend of Kurihara the puller is alive and well at the university.

85
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,329
Where were you this morning?

86
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:31,083
Oh, I feel sick.

87
00:05:31,091 --> 00:05:36,336
New York. The new cabaret club in front of the station?

88
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:39,889
How about the bed?

89
00:05:39,889 --> 00:05:42,475
I managed to get one for the hematemesis patient

90
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:45,328
But I couldn't get a bed for the cholangitis patient...

91
00:05:45,328 --> 00:05:49,649
Can Dr. Hojo talk to Dr. Usami, please?

92
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:55,238
I'll save a bed for you on the 7th floor of the East Ward at 9:30.

93
00:05:55,238 --> 00:05:57,991
(sighs)

94
00:05:57,991 --> 00:06:00,288
What? Oh, no.

95
00:06:00,296 --> 00:06:03,315
It's fine if you get pushed around by patients, but

96
00:06:03,316 --> 00:06:07,637
But it's very tiring to be pushed around trying to get a bed.

97
00:06:07,817 --> 00:06:10,271
It all depends on how Baker handles it.

98
00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:16,809
 "I'm not as old as you" Doctor? Doctor...

99
00:06:16,809 --> 00:06:19,829
Doctor, Doctor!

100
00:06:19,829 --> 00:06:21,831
Aah, I feel sick

101
00:06:27,621 --> 00:06:31,885
Drama Special
Kamisama no Karute
Night Four
(Finale)

102
00:06:39,515 --> 00:06:44,821
I'm back, Toto-chan.

103
00:06:44,821 --> 00:06:48,307
I'm back, Koharu.

104
00:06:48,307 --> 00:06:50,810
Welcome home, Ichi-san.

105
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:52,979
I'm home, Haru.

106
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:55,589
Koharu, what were you doing playing?

107
00:06:55,605 --> 00:06:59,132
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry for worrying you the other day.

108
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:04,907
Haru!

109
00:07:04,907 --> 00:07:07,977
Haru! Haru, what's wrong? Are you okay?

110
00:07:07,977 --> 00:07:10,146
I'm fine.

111
00:07:10,146 --> 00:07:14,300
Actually, a baby...

112
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,819
A baby?

113
00:07:16,819 --> 00:07:19,863
Ah, you're having a baby?

114
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:24,310
Haru canceled all her mountain photography jobs after that.

115
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:27,146
She went to give birth.

116
00:07:30,342 --> 00:07:35,617
{\an7}ICHITO'S DAUGHTER
KURIHARA KOHARU

117
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:33,636
And now I get to hold an angel in my arms.

118
00:07:33,636 --> 00:07:37,657
Delicious! Koharu

119
00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:42,512
It's unusual for a graduate student with no money,

120
00:07:42,512 --> 00:07:46,499
no time or freedom to go home at night, Koharu.

121
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:48,985
I have to work part-time after dinner.

122
00:07:48,985 --> 00:07:51,487
What? Tonight too?

123
00:07:51,487 --> 00:07:53,936
Graduate students don't get a monthly salary.

124
00:07:53,944 --> 00:07:56,659
I have to earn the most I can working part-time and on duty.

125
00:07:56,659 --> 00:07:59,829
I can't even pay my tuition.

126
00:07:59,829 --> 00:08:02,999
So part-time work is your lifeline. Yeah.

127
00:08:02,991 --> 00:08:06,434
I've got some news for you.

128
00:08:06,445 --> 00:08:11,083
It's about the demolition of Ontake Manor that the landlord's son is planning.

129
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:15,945
Danshaku, it's an urgent matter, but it's a heavy topic for me right now.

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,019
No, no, no, no, but... Hey.

131
00:08:19,035 --> 00:08:22,506
It's done. Please join us, Danshaku-sama.

132
00:08:22,943 --> 00:08:25,956
Aren't you worried, Princess Haruna?

133
00:08:25,988 --> 00:08:29,438
We are at the bottom of the bottom of society

134
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,378
We're in danger of being evicted.

135
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:35,148
Kaka-chan! Koharu.

136
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:37,984
I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

137
00:08:37,984 --> 00:08:41,154
right? Koharu.

138
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:44,824
That's right! That's right.

139
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:46,993
Okay, Koharu... okay, Koharu, let's eat.

140
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:48,978
Let's eat...

141
00:08:48,985 --> 00:08:51,988
I have to work every day and work part-time off duty.

142
00:08:51,981 --> 00:08:56,132
As a necessity, I have to make specimens for experiments on Sundays.

143
00:08:56,134 --> 00:08:58,636
As a graduate student, my job is to do experiments

144
00:08:58,902 --> 00:09:02,972
and dissertations to get a degree. However,

145
00:09:03,026 --> 00:09:05,061
in order to make the specimen

146
00:09:05,139 --> 00:09:08,540
I need to first clean and disinfect a lot of tools.

147
00:09:10,454 --> 00:09:14,048
And I'm doing Dr. Hojo's share

148
00:09:15,267 --> 00:09:19,775
As thanks saving a bed for a patient with acute cholangitis the other day,

149
00:09:19,775 --> 00:09:22,145
I'm being forced to do this.

150
00:09:22,145 --> 00:09:25,331
Excuse me. - Oh, what's wrong? Rikyu.

151
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:29,969
It's actually an elderly patient I admitted to the hospital as an emergency

152
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:32,155
for aspiration pneumonia a week ago. Is it an emergency?

153
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:36,492
No, he's already been treated for pneumonia and had a gastric bandage installed, and he's progressing well.

154
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:42,148
But he said he didn't have enough beds for further hospitalization.

155
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:46,002
It's Baker, he told Dr. Rikyu to discharge him immediately.

156
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:48,004
As Dr. Usami said...

157
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:49,989
Dr. Usami said it was strange that a patient with gastric bypass

158
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:51,974
was admitted to a university hospital in the first place.

159
00:09:51,974 --> 00:09:53,960
He said it was an unnecessary patient.

160
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,409
Unnecessary? That's right, unnecessary!

161
00:09:56,457 --> 00:09:58,167
There's no such thing as an unnecessary patient!

162
00:09:58,214 --> 00:10:00,609
Am I wrong? Dr. Kurihara. You're absolutely right.

163
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:07,173
Don't tell me you... at Baker?

164
00:10:07,173 --> 00:10:09,692
I found myself saying it back.

165
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:13,813
I may have been a little less careful with my words than I am now.

166
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:15,815
Choose.

167
00:10:15,815 --> 00:10:19,669
You shouldn't talk back before you choose your words.

168
00:10:19,669 --> 00:10:21,821
So you're watching me closely.

169
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:25,992
Am I wrong?

170
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:28,494
Your idea is correct.

171
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:30,496
But if the other party is Professor Usami.

172
00:10:30,496 --> 00:10:32,982
Your act of talking back is wrong.

173
00:10:32,982 --> 00:10:35,184
A bed at the university hospital is a special kind of bread.

174
00:10:35,184 --> 00:10:41,540
If you piss off the baker, you'll never get bread again.

175
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:47,140
I didn't want to hear those words from Dr. Kurihara.

176
00:10:50,456 --> 00:10:53,960
It's our job as seniors to gently squash the ideals of the young.

177
00:10:54,894 --> 00:10:58,074
That's what we seniors do.

178
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:01,055
Well said, Kuri-chan.

179
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:05,095
Dr. Hojo, if you were awake, you could've said something...

180
00:11:12,634 --> 00:11:16,304
Hey, Ichito. Long time no see.

181
00:11:16,492 --> 00:11:19,312
I have a favor to ask you. - I refuse.

182
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:22,632
Hey! You're not looking so good these days.

183
00:11:22,632 --> 00:11:27,069
All right, I'll make the best Sunayama blend I can find.

184
00:11:28,295 --> 00:11:31,157
I have a patient here at the surgery.

185
00:11:31,157 --> 00:11:34,783
Futatsugi Mio, 29 years old, female.

186
00:11:34,788 --> 00:11:36,673
Housewife of a farmer in Azumino.

187
00:11:36,807 --> 00:11:39,493
She has a husband and a 7-year-old daughter.

188
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:43,819
Yeah. She's a patient I performed an endoscopy on for a definitive diagnosis.

189
00:11:43,819 --> 00:11:48,119
The day before yesterday, the surgeon confirmed that she has advanced pancreatic cancer.

190
00:11:50,493 --> 00:11:53,591
Can you operate?

191
00:11:53,633 --> 00:11:56,185
There were metastases in the lymph nodes around the aorta.

192
00:11:56,365 --> 00:11:59,151
MRI also showed suspicion of liver metastasis.

193
00:11:59,151 --> 00:12:01,943
The diagnosis was stage 4.

194
00:12:01,983 --> 00:12:04,385
We concluded that resection was impossible.

195
00:12:04,573 --> 00:12:08,573
Our professor gave the IC (Informed Consent)

196
00:12:12,014 --> 00:12:14,000
I asked Futatsugi-san and his wife,

197
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,503
what they would do now that all that was left

198
00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:22,158
was anti-cancer treatment or palliative care.

199
00:12:22,149 --> 00:12:25,335
"What do we do" with a stage 4 patient?

200
00:12:26,054 --> 00:12:33,618
{\an9}MIO'S HUSBAND
FUTATSUGI TAKAHASHI

201
00:12:26,048 --> 00:12:33,623
{\an7}PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENT
FUTATSUGI MIO

202
00:12:25,344 --> 00:12:31,984
What...should we do?

203
00:12:31,984 --> 00:12:38,484
If you are a long-term patient, I can write you a referral to a different hospital.

204
00:12:43,492 --> 00:12:47,380
The doctor who did the endoscopy for me,

205
00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:49,490
I'd like to meet him.

206
00:12:49,623 --> 00:12:52,792
Is it Kurihara Ichito of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine?

207
00:12:52,988 --> 00:12:53,766
Yes.

208
00:12:55,007 --> 00:12:59,512
Dr. Kurihara listened to me carefully.

209
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:02,665
He also explained the endoscopy very carefully.

210
00:13:02,665 --> 00:13:07,065
I'd like to see Dr. Kurihara.

211
00:13:10,156 --> 00:13:14,326
A 29-year-old patient with advanced pancreatic cancer, stage 4!

212
00:13:14,326 --> 00:13:18,013
Why is the Surgery Department taking on a surgical patient from the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine!

213
00:13:18,013 --> 00:13:20,483
Such a high-risk case.

214
00:13:20,483 --> 00:13:25,004
Did you just accept a high-risk case like this without even calling a joint conference? Class 3.

215
00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:28,345
{\an8}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE CONFERENCE

216
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:27,006
Even if we called a conference anyway.

217
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:29,008
I'm sure they will complain like this.

218
00:13:29,008 --> 00:13:32,311
Class 3 Leader, speak louder. Nah, I hate standing out.

219
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,330
It's obvious he'll be in the hospital for a long time.

220
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:38,017
There's no room for beds in the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine

221
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:41,153
How can the doctor say...That's right!

222
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:44,553
Class 3... Class 3 Chief!

223
00:13:46,353 --> 00:13:48,991
Hahahahahaha.

224
00:13:49,163 --> 00:13:53,396
Miss, what about "That's right"?

225
00:13:53,816 --> 00:13:56,152
Excuse me, Dr. Kakizaki.

226
00:13:56,152 --> 00:13:59,839
Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Class 1 Leader, Dr. Kakizaki

227
00:13:56,769 --> 00:14:03,644
{\an9}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, CLASS 1 LEADER
KAKIZAKI AKIRA

228
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:03,976
Advanced pancreatic cancer in a 29-year-old is certainly a difficult thing to deal with.

229
00:14:03,976 --> 00:14:07,480
But I'm sure it'll be a valuable experience for the young doctors.

230
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,815
There comes Bodhisattva's Kaki. Thank you for the sermon!

231
00:14:10,823 --> 00:14:13,319
I'm with Professor Kakizaki on this one.

232
00:14:13,194 --> 00:14:18,869
{\an7}FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, CLASS 2 LEADER
YASUDA SEIDOU

233
00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:17,656
Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Class 2 Leader, Dr. Yasuda

234
00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:21,794
Every patient that gets treated at the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, affects our reputation

235
00:14:21,794 --> 00:14:25,314
It'll be a shame if we don't take it. It might turn the tables?

236
00:14:25,314 --> 00:14:29,468
Dr. Kakizaki's the Class 1 leader. Yasuda Sensei's the Class 2 leader.

237
00:14:29,468 --> 00:14:31,487
The leader of Class 3 is...

238
00:14:31,487 --> 00:14:35,007
isn't he on vacation? It's you.

239
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:36,992
Besides, the surgery department would be grateful

240
00:14:36,992 --> 00:14:39,678
if we could take on high-risk cases at

241
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:41,678
the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

242
00:14:44,585 --> 00:14:48,292
{\an7}CHIEF OF FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE
MIZUSHIMA OSAMU

243
00:14:44,503 --> 00:14:49,491
Chief of Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Professor Mizushima,

244
00:14:49,655 --> 00:14:51,657
I understand.

245
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:53,642
I'll find a bed for you.

246
00:14:53,642 --> 00:14:57,696
Goal! Ahahaha!

247
00:14:57,696 --> 00:15:00,749
It will be a really a good learning experience for the young ones.

248
00:15:00,749 --> 00:15:03,185
Taking care of patients in their 20s at a university hospital...

249
00:15:03,185 --> 00:15:06,585
It's not decided that I'll be taking care of them!

250
00:15:09,277 --> 00:15:11,316
Ah...

251
00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:15,732
It's not decided until I'll see her.

252
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:19,001
FOLFIRI-NOX is a four-drug combination of anticancer drugs.

253
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,887
It's the best chemotherapy we can do at this stage.

254
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:24,490
Is this enough to make a complete recovery?

255
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:26,509
I can't say for sure.

256
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:28,300
The side effects are severe.

257
00:15:28,313 --> 00:15:32,984
According to the pancreatic cancer treatment guidelines, it's the first choice for patients with physical strength.

258
00:15:33,165 --> 00:15:37,365
If you can endure it, you may be headed in the right direction.

259
00:15:49,492 --> 00:15:54,330
This is actually the third time I've met with Dr. Kurihara.

260
00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:59,308
Third time? Nine years ago at Honjo Hospital.

261
00:15:59,308 --> 00:16:03,996
You took care of my father who was rushed in with heart failure.

262
00:16:03,996 --> 00:16:08,133
Oh, I took care of your father.

263
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:11,487
Nine years ago, I was still a resident.

264
00:16:11,487 --> 00:16:14,323
I don't know how much treatment I could provide...

265
00:16:14,323 --> 00:16:19,845
No. That time, he said, "There is no rain that never stops.

266
00:16:19,845 --> 00:16:22,248
There is no night that never ends.

267
00:16:22,248 --> 00:16:26,648
Our family was encouraged by that

268
00:16:29,801 --> 00:16:36,760
Thank you again, Dr. Kurihara.

269
00:16:36,867 --> 00:16:41,538
I'm looking forward to working with you.

270
00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:45,109
Dr. Kurihara! Mr. Oka's bleeding profusely in the toilet!

271
00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:48,705
{\an7}ULCERATIVE COLITIS PATIENT
OKA NOBUHIRO

272
00:16:47,994 --> 00:16:49,892
Aah!

273
00:16:49,892 --> 00:16:52,645
Oka-san was just referred to us for

274
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:54,647
steroid-resistant ulcerative colitis.

275
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,657
What are his vitals? Blood pressure 110, pulse 94.

276
00:16:56,665 --> 00:16:59,818
His level of consciousness hasn't dropped. Vitals are normal. Have we given ADA?*
*Adalimumab

277
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:02,655
We're giving it to him now, but there's no improvement yet.

278
00:17:02,655 --> 00:17:04,657
Let's get some blood work done first. And a colonoscopy.

279
00:17:04,657 --> 00:17:08,827
We need to get to the endoscopy room as soon as possible... (vibrating)

280
00:17:08,827 --> 00:17:10,980
I'll be there after I see Baker

281
00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:13,499
Dr. Kurihara, please don't leave me alone!

282
00:17:13,499 --> 00:17:16,468
Miss. Oka-san's the first patient you're in charge of, right?

283
00:17:16,468 --> 00:17:19,154
Yes! It's too much for a resident to handle!

284
00:17:19,154 --> 00:17:24,582
Put all your strength in your belly and struts your stuff in front of the patient.

285
00:17:24,624 --> 00:17:27,924
Patients react the most to Doctor's panic

286
00:17:30,089 --> 00:17:32,475
You won't lose.

287
00:17:33,769 --> 00:17:35,203
Yes...

288
00:17:36,655 --> 00:17:41,192
Do you know why you're here?

289
00:17:41,237 --> 00:17:43,256
It's Shibata-kun from Class 3.

290
00:17:43,529 --> 00:17:46,315
Just when I thought we had finally transferred a patient with gastric bypass,

291
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:49,588
we're hospitalizing another patient again for long-term care

292
00:17:49,742 --> 00:17:52,111
You're in charge of his patients.

293
00:17:52,354 --> 00:17:56,354
Speed up the bed rotation.

294
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:12,991
Ah~ You're working hard.

295
00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:14,991
Ah...

296
00:18:18,147 --> 00:18:21,650
Where has Dr. Hojo been all this time?

297
00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:26,590
London. I'm exhausted and tired.

298
00:18:26,609 --> 00:18:29,779
London? Isn't that the old cabaret club in front of the station?

299
00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:32,075
Correct.

300
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:42,265
You're under a lot of stress, aren't you, Kuri-chan?

301
00:18:42,284 --> 00:18:48,807
Well, for now, just do your best to save Baker's face.

302
00:18:48,855 --> 00:18:51,007
You have to protect Rikyu.

303
00:18:51,163 --> 00:18:54,600
If you don't protect Rikyu, he might get sent to the backwoods.

304
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,600
Doctor, how dare you...

305
00:18:59,331 --> 00:19:02,334
Rikyu, how long have you been there...

306
00:19:02,491 --> 00:19:06,695
My name is Shibata. It's time for ward rounds.

307
00:19:06,736 --> 00:19:08,738
Does Dr. Kurihara agree?

308
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,983
Agree to what? Rikyu.

309
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:14,226
Changing a patient's treatment or forcibly transferring them

310
00:19:14,237 --> 00:19:18,408
to another hospital in order to rotate beds.

311
00:19:18,619 --> 00:19:22,999
It's true that internal medicine and the emergency department are fully booked.

312
00:19:23,073 --> 00:19:27,243
But there are beds available in ophtamology, dermatology, and other departments.

313
00:19:27,649 --> 00:19:30,319
But they don't want to rent or lend them.

314
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,005
That's shifting the burden to the patients. That's right.

315
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:36,505
It's really unreasonable. It's unreasonable as hell.

316
00:19:40,173 --> 00:19:43,510
If you say that's usually the case for university hospitals

317
00:19:43,543 --> 00:19:48,214
I will scream, "What is a university hospital?"

318
00:19:48,275 --> 00:19:51,445
But we're doctors. We shouldn't scream.

319
00:19:51,602 --> 00:19:55,956
I think it's the patients who want to scream.

320
00:19:56,011 --> 00:20:00,811
So I'm thinking.

321
00:20:02,715 --> 00:20:05,918
What are you thinking about?

322
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:12,995
I'm thinking about what a doctor should be like

323
00:20:12,995 --> 00:20:15,095
at a university hospital.

324
00:20:18,621 --> 00:20:21,282
I'm still thinking while in the midst of it

325
00:20:21,301 --> 00:20:25,201
I have a headache thanks to you.

326
00:20:31,823 --> 00:20:34,993
I'll bring you an infusion of Hypericum* next time.
*St. John's wort

327
00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:37,636
Hypericum erectum?

328
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:43,141
It's good for headaches. It's my favorite tea.

329
00:20:43,141 --> 00:20:47,996
Are you convinced by my answer now?

330
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:49,998
I'm not convinced.

331
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:53,652
But Dr. Kurihara gave me an unusually serious answer.

332
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:55,418
I was a little relieved.

333
00:20:55,481 --> 00:20:57,483
I'm always serious.

334
00:20:57,656 --> 00:21:00,025
But you've always had a strange way of saying things.

335
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:02,144
I was dissatisfied that you would force a joke

336
00:21:02,144 --> 00:21:04,344
to avoid giving a proper answer

337
00:21:08,142 --> 00:21:15,799
Soseki Natsume, the great writer of the Meiji era (1868-1912), left these words.

338
00:21:15,807 --> 00:21:22,507
"Seriousness,  means you are fighting with real swords"

339
00:21:26,151 --> 00:21:28,820
So the stories about the eccentric Kurihara are true

340
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:32,120
Aww, Rikyu... Hahahahahaha...

341
00:21:33,965 --> 00:21:38,754
Suddenly, blood came out of my stool, like I was about to die.

342
00:21:38,981 --> 00:21:42,484
I'd wonder if it was coming out again.

343
00:21:42,484 --> 00:21:44,841
I was terrified every time.

344
00:21:44,864 --> 00:21:49,035
I'll never let you die.

345
00:21:49,246 --> 00:21:51,732
I will definitely cure you.

346
00:21:51,747 --> 00:21:53,699
How can a doctor say absolutely?

347
00:21:53,744 --> 00:21:55,746
It's okay!

348
00:21:55,981 --> 00:22:01,107
If the medicine doesn't work, maybe there's something else going on.

349
00:22:01,221 --> 00:22:03,239
Something else?

350
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:05,407
Let's do some tests.

351
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:08,160
Don't worry, this is a university hospital, Oka-san.

352
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,801
Please leave it to me.

353
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,065
I promise I'll cure you!

354
00:22:20,489 --> 00:22:22,491
Hypericum is good, but...

355
00:22:22,491 --> 00:22:27,291
Haru's coffee is the best in the world.

356
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:33,559
By the way, today

357
00:22:33,637 --> 00:22:37,658
The landlord's son came to see me today.

358
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,541
Does he want to evict us?

359
00:22:39,605 --> 00:22:43,275
No, he was just saying hello.

360
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:46,882
He's been working for a government office in Tokyo for a long time.

361
00:22:46,882 --> 00:22:52,394
He was worried about his father's age, so he came back to Shinano.

362
00:22:52,407 --> 00:22:55,560
And when he saw that Ontake manor was still standing.

363
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:59,386
He was very surprised.

364
00:22:59,431 --> 00:23:01,998
I see. He was very surprised.

365
00:23:02,058 --> 00:23:05,077
Ontake manor is said to be 100 years old.

366
00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:08,714
I see. That is a big deal.

367
00:23:08,863 --> 00:23:13,163
It's not earthquake-proof at all, so it's dangerous in case of an earthquake.

368
00:23:15,075 --> 00:23:20,247
Isn't that an eviction request, after all? Haru.

369
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:21,606
Is that so?

370
00:23:24,293 --> 00:23:26,634
I hadn't noticed.

371
00:23:29,491 --> 00:23:32,477
It's been two weeks since we started

372
00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:34,479
chemotherapy for Mio-san

373
00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:38,650
myelosuppression* is severe.
*A condition in which bone marrow activity is decreased, resulting in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

374
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:41,337
Rikyu, how is Futatsugi-san's condition?

375
00:23:41,428 --> 00:23:45,399
Her weight has dropped a little, but her appetite has come back.

376
00:23:45,791 --> 00:23:49,211
There are no side effects other than myelosuppression.

377
00:23:49,211 --> 00:23:53,482
But since last week, no one was allowed to visit. She can't even see her family...

378
00:23:53,482 --> 00:23:56,416
It's an anti-infection measure. His immune system is down.

379
00:23:56,478 --> 00:23:58,563
Even a mild cold can be fatal.

380
00:23:58,861 --> 00:24:01,833
But she can't even leave her room.

381
00:24:01,906 --> 00:24:04,559
Why don't we change the medicine?

382
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,312
She's so bold to say such a thing.

383
00:24:07,312 --> 00:24:09,156
We can't do that.

384
00:24:09,206 --> 00:24:12,092
FOLFIRI-NOX is the most powerful regimen.

385
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:15,545
It's only been two weeks. She's barely finished the first course.

386
00:24:15,577 --> 00:24:20,098
I think we should start the second course to see if it's effective.

387
00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:22,010
But if it's not working...

388
00:24:22,031 --> 00:24:24,166
she will be locked up in a hospital room for nothing, you know?

389
00:24:24,267 --> 00:24:27,771
Pointless! Choose your words a little more carefully.

390
00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:30,129
Rikyu, where's Dr. Hojo?

391
00:24:30,161 --> 00:24:33,664
He's at Futatsugi-san's MRI. She's with her husband and Risa-chan.

392
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,700
Dr. Hojo, you're unusually motivated today.

393
00:24:36,825 --> 00:24:39,711
That's because she's the leader of Class 3... Miss!

394
00:24:39,711 --> 00:24:42,998
Think for at least 3 seconds before you say anything.

395
00:24:42,998 --> 00:24:46,852
Dr. Hojo is your boss, for the time being

396
00:24:46,852 --> 00:24:48,852
Risa-chan?

397
00:24:54,521 --> 00:24:58,221
Mama, can she heal?

398
00:25:14,919 --> 00:25:21,059
Doctors aren't magicians.

399
00:25:21,113 --> 00:25:29,513
So I can't promise that I'll cure her for sure.

400
00:25:34,417 --> 00:25:36,394
However...

401
00:25:40,322 --> 00:25:43,107
I'll do everything I can.

402
00:25:44,493 --> 00:25:47,093
I promise you that much.

403
00:26:02,934 --> 00:26:08,143
At noon, I took Oka-san's CT scan at the request of his daughter.

404
00:26:08,346 --> 00:26:11,395
There's a two-centimeter-long mass on his pancreas.

405
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:15,140
The CT scan taken at the local hospital where he was first diagnosed three months ago

406
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:17,195
showed no mass.

407
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,449
His daughter ordered a bunch of tests out of nowhere

408
00:26:19,446 --> 00:26:21,095
and we might be on to something

409
00:26:23,315 --> 00:26:28,070
This shape indicates pancreatic cancer...

410
00:26:28,085 --> 00:26:31,477
Yeah, I think so too.

411
00:26:31,723 --> 00:26:35,801
Oka-san followed by Futatsugi-san.

412
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:39,361
You have the second patient with advanced pancreatic cancer in Class 3 of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

413
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:44,469
(vibrating sound)

414
00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:46,488
It's me.

415
00:26:46,488 --> 00:26:48,488
Is Oka-san bleeding again?

416
00:27:02,415 --> 00:27:05,335
Futatsugi-san's and Oka-san's tumors

417
00:27:05,335 --> 00:27:07,935
were very similar in shape.

418
00:27:25,889 --> 00:27:29,475
Are you keeping the resident doctors working until this hour?

419
00:27:29,475 --> 00:27:32,161
Oka-san's bleeding was treated earlier.

420
00:27:32,161 --> 00:27:34,147
I'm sure you're aware that

421
00:27:34,147 --> 00:27:36,566
university hospitals nationwide have established guidelines

422
00:27:36,566 --> 00:27:39,636
for resident labor management in order to

423
00:27:39,636 --> 00:27:43,417
improve the harsh working environment for residents.

424
00:27:43,463 --> 00:27:46,265
Residents are not allowed to work at all during the night

425
00:27:46,492 --> 00:27:49,392
except for the designated number of shifts.

426
00:27:51,364 --> 00:27:54,150
Be careful, Kurihara-kun.

427
00:27:54,150 --> 00:27:57,153
If word gets out that the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine is too strict,

428
00:27:57,153 --> 00:28:00,807
it'll affect the number of applicants who want to join our department next year.

429
00:28:00,807 --> 00:28:09,198
If the number of applicants decreases, Dr. Usami will be in a tight spot.

430
00:28:09,198 --> 00:28:12,276
You're an interesting man, aren't you?

431
00:28:12,336 --> 00:28:16,507
I'm sorry. I was so sleep deprived...

432
00:28:16,656 --> 00:28:21,656
I took it out on Baker. This reflects badly on me.

433
00:28:31,654 --> 00:28:34,173
The ever-changing situation of beds

434
00:28:34,173 --> 00:28:36,709
is easier to grasp with analog.

435
00:28:36,709 --> 00:28:39,295
If you write it down, it gets into your head better.

436
00:28:39,295 --> 00:28:41,668
Do you do that every day?

437
00:28:41,692 --> 00:28:44,362
If I don't do it, who will?

438
00:28:44,651 --> 00:28:46,636
Is that Futatsugi-san?

439
00:28:46,636 --> 00:28:51,057
No, it's Oka-san who's in the hospital for ulcerative colitis.

440
00:28:51,057 --> 00:28:55,057
Advanced pancreatic cancer was also discovered a while ago.

441
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,717
We're having a conference with the surgery department on Oka-san the day after tomorrow.

442
00:29:00,717 --> 00:29:06,017
Oka-san's bed probably won't be available for a while.

443
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:14,301
{\an8}FIRST SURGERY DEPARTMENT & FOURTH INTERNAL MEDICINE DEPARTMENT JOINT CONFERENCE

444
00:29:08,825 --> 00:29:11,644
Pancreatic cancer was detected too late.

445
00:29:11,644 --> 00:29:14,314
It's a mass that wasn't there three months ago.

446
00:29:14,314 --> 00:29:16,966
Besides, Oka-san was just admitted to the hospital this month...

447
00:29:16,966 --> 00:29:20,653
What about the steroids? What about the possibility of autoimmune pancreatitis.

448
00:29:20,653 --> 00:29:23,006
IgG4 is within normal range.

449
00:29:23,006 --> 00:29:25,416
The possibility of autoimmune pancreatitis is extremely low.

450
00:29:25,454 --> 00:29:28,440
If that's the case, why didn't you take a CT scan for screening right away?

451
00:29:28,503 --> 00:29:30,503
That's why...

452
00:29:32,965 --> 00:29:34,984
There was nothing on the CT scan 3 months ago...

453
00:29:34,984 --> 00:29:36,969
That's enough.

454
00:29:36,969 --> 00:29:39,005
I'll deal with... - No that's fine.

455
00:29:39,005 --> 00:29:40,730
As far as we're concerned.

456
00:29:40,754 --> 00:29:44,758
I'd like to hear the Fourth Internal Medicine Department, Class 1 leader, Dr. Kakizaki's opinion.

457
00:29:44,977 --> 00:29:48,305
That was a merciless way to get us off on the wrong foot.

458
00:29:48,374 --> 00:29:52,361
What does Dr. Kakizaki, the leading expert on the pancreas, have to say?

459
00:29:52,635 --> 00:29:57,306
Dr. Kakizaki's away at an international conference in Boston.

460
00:29:57,306 --> 00:30:00,309
He'll be back in 3 days at the earliest.

461
00:30:00,309 --> 00:30:01,777
Ah.

462
00:30:02,311 --> 00:30:04,964
Then the conference will be after that. No, but!

463
00:30:04,964 --> 00:30:06,983
If it's advanced pancreatic cancer, we have to take action quickly.

464
00:30:06,983 --> 00:30:09,335
It's only appropriate to conclude after Dr. Kakizaki gets back.

465
00:30:09,335 --> 00:30:11,354
No, but... if we push back the Internal Medicine Department now,

466
00:30:11,354 --> 00:30:14,974
and we rush to start preparations after the surgery is decided after all,

467
00:30:14,974 --> 00:30:18,294
we would be blamed for already being consulted earlier,

468
00:30:18,294 --> 00:30:20,646
wouldn't Surgery Department get laughed at?

469
00:30:20,646 --> 00:30:23,666
Sunayama.

470
00:30:23,666 --> 00:30:26,702
Then what are you going to do?

471
00:30:26,702 --> 00:30:32,642
I'll start the pre-surgery examination of Oka-san in collaboration with the internal medicine department.

472
00:30:32,642 --> 00:30:35,995
That way, we can operate immediately after the definitive diagnosis.

473
00:30:35,995 --> 00:30:39,332
It's pancreatic cancer that was discovered only 2 days ago.

474
00:30:39,332 --> 00:30:43,932
It's a bit extravagant to try to conclude everything here.

475
00:30:46,739 --> 00:30:50,039
Let's do it then. Today's conference is over.

476
00:30:55,631 --> 00:30:59,635
Jiro, thank you. Hey, come on.

477
00:30:59,635 --> 00:31:01,637
It's you and me, right?

478
00:31:01,637 --> 00:31:06,058
If you remove the authority and gamesmanship from University Hospital.

479
00:31:06,059 --> 00:31:08,778
{\an8}ONLY TRASH REMAINS

480
00:31:06,058 --> 00:31:09,295
there would be  nothing left but trash.

481
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,300
I'm getting very depressed.

482
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:18,721
Bargaining is the one area I'm weakest in.

483
00:31:22,625 --> 00:31:28,314
I once trained at a ryotei* in Tokyo when I was young.
*Traditional Japanese Restaurant

484
00:31:28,314 --> 00:31:30,967
I thought it would be a good way to train myself.

485
00:31:30,967 --> 00:31:32,985
But you know what?

486
00:31:32,985 --> 00:31:38,374
However, everything from preparation to serving was completely unacceptable.

487
00:31:38,374 --> 00:31:41,644
The procedures were completely different.

488
00:31:41,644 --> 00:31:46,632
I was so fed up that I was ready to quit my job as a chef.

489
00:31:46,632 --> 00:31:49,969
I suddenly realized.

490
00:31:49,969 --> 00:31:56,359
that worrying is a sign of growth.

491
00:31:56,359 --> 00:31:59,412
A sign...

492
00:31:59,412 --> 00:32:02,632
Sea Bream from Akashi

493
00:32:02,632 --> 00:32:04,932
Huh.

494
00:32:07,653 --> 00:32:14,961
(vibrating sound)

495
00:32:14,961 --> 00:32:17,647
Yes, this is Kurihara.

496
00:32:17,647 --> 00:32:19,649
Dr. Kakizaki!

497
00:32:19,649 --> 00:32:22,301
That's right. I'm still in Boston.

498
00:32:22,301 --> 00:32:27,306
Dr. Kurihara, regarding Oka-san's tumor.

499
00:32:27,306 --> 00:32:29,306
It's not pancreatic cancer.

500
00:32:33,828 --> 00:32:35,847
Regarding Oka-san's tumor.

501
00:32:35,847 --> 00:32:37,882
It's not pancreatic cancer.

502
00:32:37,882 --> 00:32:42,286
I think it's probably autoimmune pancreatitis type 2.

503
00:32:42,286 --> 00:32:45,790
Type 2? I've never heard of type 2 before.

504
00:32:45,790 --> 00:32:47,417
That's right.

505
00:32:47,462 --> 00:32:50,427
Type 2 cases aren't seen very often.

506
00:32:50,444 --> 00:32:54,115
It's the first time I'm seeing it myself.

507
00:32:55,688 --> 00:32:56,493
Seeing?

508
00:32:56,806 --> 00:32:58,786
Baker mentioned this

509
00:32:58,786 --> 00:33:01,439
and sent me the CT scan and data by e-mail.

510
00:33:01,439 --> 00:33:04,442
He said he was curious about the images and wanted to take a look.

511
00:33:04,442 --> 00:33:08,129
Dr. Usami?

512
00:33:08,129 --> 00:33:10,798
Oka-san is in the hospital for ulcerative colitis

513
00:33:10,798 --> 00:33:14,151
Advanced pancreatic cancer has also been discovered.

514
00:33:14,151 --> 00:33:16,787
That time...

515
00:33:16,787 --> 00:33:18,789
University hospitals are places

516
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:21,459
where there are patients with diseases

517
00:33:21,459 --> 00:33:23,175
we have never seen before

518
00:33:23,206 --> 00:33:25,446
And there are also doctors who can narrow down

519
00:33:25,446 --> 00:33:27,448
the diagnosis with just a glance at those images.

520
00:33:27,448 --> 00:33:31,953
Doctors who are geeks in their respective fields butt heads and come up with answers.

521
00:33:31,953 --> 00:33:35,523
That's what university hospitals are for, Dr. Kurihara.

522
00:33:35,523 --> 00:33:39,523
That's what a university hospital is!

523
00:33:56,444 --> 00:33:59,447
Are you taking an early morning walk, Futatsugi-san?

524
00:33:59,447 --> 00:34:03,117
Oh, you caught me

525
00:34:03,117 --> 00:34:08,122
There's no one around at this hour, so I thought it'd be okay to leave the hospital room.

526
00:34:08,122 --> 00:34:10,791
I know it's not the most praiseworthy thing to do,

527
00:34:10,791 --> 00:34:13,794
but I'm glad I was the one who found you.

528
00:34:13,794 --> 00:34:17,798
I need a change of scenery once in a while.

529
00:34:17,798 --> 00:34:20,098
Nice ball!

530
00:34:34,799 --> 00:34:40,454
It was my husband who found this place for me.

531
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:45,854
He said he could show me how Risa is doing from here.

532
00:34:49,864 --> 00:34:53,134
He married into my family*
*A man who takes his wife's family name

533
00:34:53,134 --> 00:34:56,520
He's a little unreliable at times.

534
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,920
He's meticulous and kind.

535
00:35:03,461 --> 00:35:09,461
I wonder if the day will ever come when I can play with Risa again.

536
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:19,126
If the myelosuppression stops, we can play catch, basketball,

537
00:35:19,126 --> 00:35:24,115
or anything together. But if it doesn't stop,

538
00:35:25,043 --> 00:35:28,469
I won't be able to get out of here forever.

539
00:35:28,469 --> 00:35:32,139


540
00:35:30,254 --> 00:35:32,139
My family is here with me.

541
00:35:33,370 --> 00:35:38,129
I didn't realize how difficult

542
00:35:39,285 --> 00:35:41,129
and precious that was.

543
00:35:45,616 --> 00:35:49,216
I totally didn't realize that when I was healthy.

544
00:35:51,444 --> 00:35:55,108
I'm so frustrated.

545
00:36:08,203 --> 00:36:09,743
After that, Oka-san

546
00:36:09,743 --> 00:36:12,779
was given a definite diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis type 2.

547
00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:16,066
He was put on medication at the department of internal medicine.

548
00:36:16,066 --> 00:36:18,719
I've been working on Futatsugi-san's anticancer treatment,

549
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,556
and changed the anticancer drug to a two-drug combination of Gem and Paclitaxel.

550
00:36:22,556 --> 00:36:26,690
Her bone marrow suppression improved and her physical strength recovered.

551
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:33,032
{\an8}STENT PLACEMENT

552
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:31,715
In addition, we performed ERCP and placed a stent to prevent bile duct obstruction.

553
00:36:31,715 --> 00:36:34,415
Open it. Yes.

554
00:36:38,388 --> 00:36:41,391
Two weeks later.

555
00:36:41,391 --> 00:36:44,378
The patient was discharged.

556
00:36:44,378 --> 00:36:48,732
From now on, as an outpatient, we'll continue administering the anticancer drug

557
00:36:48,732 --> 00:36:53,387
I'm going to win this thing, Dr. Kurihara.

558
00:36:53,387 --> 00:36:55,387
That's the spirit.

559
00:36:57,758 --> 00:37:00,434
Risa. Mama

560
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:04,109
Ah, hahahahahaha.

561
00:37:04,788 --> 00:37:09,388
Risa, you've grown up.

562
00:37:13,473 --> 00:37:17,060
When Dr. Kurihara changed from the four-drug regimen to the two-drug regimen.

563
00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:19,046
I was a little worried,

564
00:37:19,046 --> 00:37:21,398
but it turned out to be a success, didn't it?

565
00:37:21,398 --> 00:37:23,750
The treatment plan we formulated

566
00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:28,405
is not a choice between right and wrong, yes and no.

567
00:37:28,405 --> 00:37:31,058
It's about what the patient values the most,

568
00:37:31,058 --> 00:37:35,062
we value it together and look for a third way.

569
00:37:35,062 --> 00:37:38,465
We must search for a cure. Be adaptable.

570
00:37:38,465 --> 00:37:42,052
That's probably the doctor's...

571
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:45,722
That's the doctor's... what?

572
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:49,726
I beg your pardon. I was speaking very highly of you.

573
00:37:49,726 --> 00:37:53,046
Hey, Rikyu-chan.

574
00:37:53,046 --> 00:37:57,400
That's the doctor's what?

575
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,419
Hmm?

576
00:37:59,419 --> 00:38:01,419
What?

577
00:38:03,707 --> 00:38:05,343
Seriousness!

578
00:38:05,366 --> 00:38:08,695
Hahaha, that's embarrassing!

579
00:38:08,695 --> 00:38:10,697
Seriousness eh?

580
00:38:10,697 --> 00:38:14,718
That's what Dr. Kurihara says.

581
00:38:14,718 --> 00:38:16,720
What are you laughing at, Miss!

582
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:20,420
It was only a week later.

583
00:38:25,829 --> 00:38:27,829
I'm fine.

584
00:38:30,015 --> 00:38:32,051
Dr. Kurihara. Hello. How is she?

585
00:38:32,122 --> 00:38:35,659
She's had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius since this morning. Blood tests show severe inflammation.

586
00:38:35,823 --> 00:38:37,542
Biliary tract enzymes are elevated too.

587
00:38:37,607 --> 00:38:40,259
CT scan? Here it is.

588
00:38:40,877 --> 00:38:43,677
The stent is clogged and she has cholangitis.

589
00:38:45,591 --> 00:38:48,291
She's on the verge of sepsis.

590
00:38:50,213 --> 00:38:53,900
It's common in pancreatic cancer. We'll perform emergency ERCP to replace the stent.

591
00:38:53,924 --> 00:38:56,076
How's the X-ray room? We're already holding it.

592
00:38:56,092 --> 00:38:59,746
But Dr. Futatsugi-san insisted she doesn't want to be hospitalized.

593
00:38:59,863 --> 00:39:02,549
Why is that? Futatsugi-san.

594
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:08,221
If I'm hospitalized again, I won't be able to go home.

595
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:12,392


596
00:39:09,377 --> 00:39:12,392
If I'm going to die locked up in a hospital again.

597
00:39:13,415 --> 00:39:15,468
I want to die at home.

598
00:39:16,038 --> 00:39:22,695
Mio... what are you saying?

599
00:39:23,537 --> 00:39:30,037
I asked my husband not to call an ambulance either...

600
00:39:33,980 --> 00:39:42,768
I've just been released from the hospital. Let me go home like this.

601
00:39:42,816 --> 00:39:47,316
Please, let me die at home.

602
00:39:51,744 --> 00:39:53,744
Mama!

603
00:39:58,822 --> 00:40:04,828
Mama won't die. It's okay, Risa.

604
00:40:04,853 --> 00:40:08,039
Mio, please. You have to get treatment.

605
00:40:08,116 --> 00:40:10,416
I absolutely don't want to be hospitalized.

606
00:40:16,686 --> 00:40:18,855
Then we'll go without hospitalization.

607
00:40:19,715 --> 00:40:20,629
Huh?

608
00:40:20,650 --> 00:40:23,119
We're going to use ERCP to replace the stent in the bile duct.

609
00:40:23,454 --> 00:40:25,973
How about we go home immediately after the waking up from anesthesia?

610
00:40:26,012 --> 00:40:28,421
Can he do that? There's no way he can do that.

611
00:40:28,489 --> 00:40:30,489
Doctor.

612
00:40:32,814 --> 00:40:37,318
When you're done... I can go home, right?

613
00:40:38,388 --> 00:40:39,861
You can go home.

614
00:40:49,222 --> 00:40:51,422
ERCP in the X-ray room.

615
00:40:55,276 --> 00:40:59,797
I'm against it. ERCP for young women carries a high risk of acute pancreatitis.

616
00:40:59,797 --> 00:41:01,992
And moreover, Futatsugi-san has advanced pancreatic cancer.

617
00:41:02,067 --> 00:41:04,736
At the very least, she should be hospitalized for a day and given antibiotics.

618
00:41:04,783 --> 00:41:07,960
If we send her home, we won't be able to handle any sudden changes!

619
00:41:09,123 --> 00:41:13,589
How about going straight to the hospital after ERCP?

620
00:41:13,869 --> 00:41:17,372
Just get her husband to agree to it, and then we'll just cover it up.

621
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:20,494
If we do that, we'll lose Futatsugi-san's trust.

622
00:41:20,635 --> 00:41:22,787
Next time, she'll probably refuse to even go to the hospital.

623
00:41:22,787 --> 00:41:25,940
But I think it's totally irresponsible to go home right after the procedure.

624
00:41:25,940 --> 00:41:29,828
It's not after the procedure. I said we're going home immediately after the anesthesia wakes up.

625
00:41:32,007 --> 00:41:32,825
Hah?

626
00:41:32,954 --> 00:41:35,139
Anesthesia usually wears off in two to three hours.

627
00:41:35,186 --> 00:41:37,188
But a young internist in his fourth year.

628
00:41:37,219 --> 00:41:42,419
I think it's possible for a young internist in his fourth year to accidentally administer too much anesthesia.

629
00:41:44,767 --> 00:41:46,769
Oh, me? That's right.

630
00:41:46,778 --> 00:41:49,281
We'll use more anesthesia to keep her sedated until tomorrow afternoon.

631
00:41:49,288 --> 00:41:51,690
Then we'll administer a bunch of antibiotics.

632
00:41:51,886 --> 00:41:54,989
Post-surgery management will be done in the Emergency Department's treatment room, so she won't be hospitalized.

633
00:41:55,027 --> 00:41:57,863
Once her vitals are stable, she can go home.

634
00:41:58,122 --> 00:42:00,792
More anesthesia...

635
00:42:00,792 --> 00:42:02,863
Is that cheating?

636
00:42:02,914 --> 00:42:06,284
But I'm in my tenth year, so I can't help but see through the ruse.

637
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:09,286
It's not good to put the resident girl in the crosshairs.

638
00:42:09,450 --> 00:42:12,150
What do you think, Rikyu?

639
00:42:20,278 --> 00:42:23,948
I understand...completely...no, carelessly!

640
00:42:23,948 --> 00:42:26,848
I'll administer more anesthesia.

641
00:42:28,764 --> 00:42:30,766
Dr. Rikyu

642
00:42:30,945 --> 00:42:33,965
Oh, you may go home, young lady.

643
00:42:33,958 --> 00:42:35,510
Why am I the only one getting excluded?

644
00:42:35,537 --> 00:42:38,424
Baker is picky about the resident's working environment.

645
00:42:38,446 --> 00:42:42,283
If I make them participate in fraudulent treatment, the retribution will be unimaginable.

646
00:42:42,283 --> 00:42:44,635
I don't want to go. Please let me be a part of it.

647
00:42:44,635 --> 00:42:46,223
Miss, I thought you'd help me...

648
00:42:46,247 --> 00:42:48,933
I don't want to!

649
00:42:49,457 --> 00:42:52,460
I've always wanted to be a pathologist.

650
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:55,960
But there's something I learned during my training at Class 3.

651
00:42:59,957 --> 00:43:04,557
The patient isn't under the microscope, she's right in front of you.

652
00:43:12,296 --> 00:43:14,296
I give you permission to be involved.

653
00:43:23,107 --> 00:43:26,294
Open it. Yes.

654
00:44:12,456 --> 00:44:14,942
You're awake, Futatsugi-san.

655
00:44:14,942 --> 00:44:19,447
Your fever's back to normal. Blood pressure, too.

656
00:44:19,447 --> 00:44:23,284
Dr. Kurihara will be here in a little while to check on you.

657
00:44:23,284 --> 00:44:25,814
Dr. Kurihara...

658
00:44:25,904 --> 00:44:29,891
Dr. Kurihara and his team were with me all night last night.

659
00:44:30,274 --> 00:44:32,374
One night...

660
00:44:34,712 --> 00:44:38,132
I heard all the necessary procedures were completed.

661
00:44:38,132 --> 00:44:40,832
Let's go home, Mio.

662
00:44:49,627 --> 00:44:52,827
Thank you, Doctor.

663
00:45:04,145 --> 00:45:07,531
Futatsugi-san is back to outpatient treatment.

664
00:45:07,828 --> 00:45:10,448
Oka-san, who has autoimmune pancreatitis type 2.

665
00:45:10,448 --> 00:45:15,119
recovered dramatically with medical treatment. He was discharged.

666
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,622
Ah~.

667
00:45:17,622 --> 00:45:21,083
Thank you, Ayukawa-sensei. I feel like I survived safely.

668
00:45:21,172 --> 00:45:25,109
Hehehe, no, I didn't do anything serious.

669
00:45:25,446 --> 00:45:29,071
But since Oka-san is my first patient.

670
00:45:29,192 --> 00:45:31,211
I will never forget it.

671
00:45:31,352 --> 00:45:33,956
Oh, really?

672
00:45:34,146 --> 00:45:36,738
First? First?

673
00:45:37,945 --> 00:45:43,781
Doctors and patients go through a lot together. The day the patient leaves the hospital,

674
00:45:43,781 --> 00:45:47,604
that's the day all the hard work disappears for the doctor.

675
00:45:47,656 --> 00:45:49,958
I have a report to make to everyone.

676
00:45:50,271 --> 00:45:55,443
Dr. Hojo. Two extremely tough cases, Futatsugi Mio-san

677
00:45:55,443 --> 00:45:58,613
and Oka Nobuhiro-san, have been discharged.

678
00:45:58,613 --> 00:46:01,616
Dr. Hojo, Leader of Class 3.

679
00:46:01,616 --> 00:46:03,601
recently wrote a paper

680
00:46:03,601 --> 00:46:07,938
which was recently accepted for publication in the International Journal Pancreatic Medicine.

681
00:46:07,938 --> 00:46:11,275
(Applause)

682
00:46:11,275 --> 00:46:13,944
Needless to say, the International Journal Pancreatic Medicine

683
00:46:13,944 --> 00:46:16,347
is the world's leading authority on pancreatic research.

684
00:46:16,347 --> 00:46:19,679
Dr. Hojo has been recognized as a world class researcher.

685
00:46:19,812 --> 00:46:23,683
Not only that, but he also greatly enhanced the significance of

686
00:46:23,691 --> 00:46:25,726
the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

687
00:46:25,741 --> 00:46:27,741
Dr. Hojo, go ahead.

688
00:46:29,765 --> 00:46:32,902
Well then, I'd like to thank you all for

689
00:46:33,114 --> 00:46:37,343
for supporting me through this grueling clinical work.

690
00:46:38,429 --> 00:46:44,625
So let's go out for a drink on my treat tonight.

691
00:46:44,625 --> 00:46:49,780
(Applause)

692
00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:52,811
Ladies & Gentlement, do you believe in God?

693
00:46:54,201 --> 00:46:58,272
If a benevolent God exists,

694
00:46:58,272 --> 00:47:03,828
things that would never happen often happen in medicine.

695
00:47:03,828 --> 00:47:07,114
Not long after this day.

696
00:47:07,114 --> 00:47:13,614
the anticancer drug stopped working on Futatsugi-san.

697
00:47:15,873 --> 00:47:19,209
The tumor has grown two sizes.

698
00:47:19,443 --> 00:47:23,781
There were new metastases in the liver as well.

699
00:47:24,092 --> 00:47:27,529
The tumor marker was five times higher than before.

700
00:47:29,450 --> 00:47:32,827
No severe symptoms yet,

701
00:47:34,658 --> 00:47:39,293
but from now on, it's expected to get worse week by week.

702
00:47:40,281 --> 00:47:42,705
Is there nothing more you can do?

703
00:47:42,793 --> 00:47:45,415
We'll switch to a third-line anticancer drug.

704
00:47:48,865 --> 00:47:53,957
The time we have left may be shorter than we thought.

705
00:48:01,087 --> 00:48:04,789
I was reading a book with Mama. That's great, Risa.

706
00:48:05,461 --> 00:48:07,889
I'll go get the car then. Yeah.

707
00:48:09,927 --> 00:48:12,296
How are you feeling? Futatsugi-san.

708
00:48:12,296 --> 00:48:15,349


709
00:48:13,486 --> 00:48:15,349
Very good.

710
00:48:16,063 --> 00:48:18,936
Did you finish your difficult talk?

711
00:48:18,936 --> 00:48:23,174


712
00:48:20,049 --> 00:48:23,174
I'm still going strong, Doctor.

713
00:48:24,021 --> 00:48:27,278
With my husband and Risa by my side.

714
00:48:27,907 --> 00:48:30,278
I can still fight.

715
00:48:32,547 --> 00:48:33,384
But you know...

716
00:48:36,915 --> 00:48:38,599
when I die, I want to die at home.

717
00:48:43,661 --> 00:48:48,232
That's really all I want to ask of you, Doctor.

718
00:49:08,652 --> 00:49:10,471
I'm home.

719
00:49:10,997 --> 00:49:12,775
Ichi-san, welcome back.

720
00:49:12,866 --> 00:49:15,639
Where's Koharu? This way.

721
00:49:19,938 --> 00:49:21,756
Doctor, let me introduce you.

722
00:49:22,594 --> 00:49:27,171
This is the person we've been waiting and waiting for,

723
00:49:27,630 --> 00:49:29,552
He's the son of the landlord.

724
00:49:31,274 --> 00:49:33,127
Nice to meet you. I'm Ouka.

725
00:49:33,127 --> 00:49:35,427
Nice to meet you. I'm Kurihara.

726
00:49:37,615 --> 00:49:41,785
Oh! Your cup is empty.

727
00:49:41,785 --> 00:49:44,138
One more cup. No, I'm fine

728
00:49:44,138 --> 00:49:46,790
Ooka-san, the Magistrate.

729
00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:48,838
Do your best to entertain him

730
00:49:50,596 --> 00:49:53,614
What are you doing just standing there? Sorry, sorry.

731
00:49:53,614 --> 00:49:57,284
The audience we have been waiting for has finally come

732
00:49:57,284 --> 00:50:00,707
Let's share a drink of joy with the Magistrate.

733
00:50:01,613 --> 00:50:03,351
Can you please stop calling me that?

734
00:50:05,873 --> 00:50:08,019
Is there any change in your father?

735
00:50:08,629 --> 00:50:11,799
Yes, it's just that he's getting old

736
00:50:11,799 --> 00:50:16,270
and he says that running a rented house is becoming a burden.

737
00:50:16,270 --> 00:50:18,956
So I did it. That's splendid!

738
00:50:19,869 --> 00:50:23,127
You know, it's easy to tear down this old Ontake manor.

739
00:50:23,127 --> 00:50:25,996
And yet, you've returned to your parents' home.

740
00:50:25,996 --> 00:50:29,283
I didn't know you were going to return to your family and take over the management of the Ontake manor.

741
00:50:29,283 --> 00:50:31,972
I have no intention of taking it over.

742
00:50:34,165 --> 00:50:38,070
Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! This is more nonsense!

743
00:50:38,124 --> 00:50:40,961
For example, are you Danshaku?

744
00:50:40,961 --> 00:50:45,741
I understand you're a painter by profession. How much do you earn a year?

745
00:50:47,726 --> 00:50:48,953
Annual income...

746
00:50:49,251 --> 00:50:53,129
And you, Kurihara-san, do you have a regular job?

747
00:50:55,115 --> 00:50:58,726
What? I heard you often come home late at night or at dawn.

748
00:50:59,593 --> 00:51:01,851
That can't be helped. I'm at the hospital.

749
00:51:02,283 --> 00:51:06,954
Oh... excuse me, is there something wrong with your health?

750
00:51:07,576 --> 00:51:11,108
No, no, I'm not visiting the hospital, I work there

751
00:51:11,108 --> 00:51:13,611
Um... What?

752
00:51:13,611 --> 00:51:15,779
Doctor is really a doctor, Magistrate.

753
00:51:15,779 --> 00:51:19,116
What? He's not just a doctor.

754
00:51:19,116 --> 00:51:22,453
He is famous within Shinano University Hospital

755
00:51:22,453 --> 00:51:25,289
He's an excellent doctor with a brilliant mind!

756
00:51:25,439 --> 00:51:29,009
Ehh? I'm surprised.

757
00:51:30,648 --> 00:51:33,069
There's a certain flow to things.

758
00:51:33,114 --> 00:51:36,518
I am indeed a doctor.

759
00:51:36,784 --> 00:51:39,820
Magistrate, let's have a drink.

760
00:51:40,114 --> 00:51:43,391
Thank you, excuse me. Oh~ whoa~ whoa...

761
00:51:43,437 --> 00:51:48,319
A doctor from a university hospital in a rundown house like this.

762
00:51:48,794 --> 00:51:51,332
No, no, no, this is the Ontake-manor

763
00:51:51,332 --> 00:51:54,451
It's still in the plain category. That's being modest.

764
00:51:54,451 --> 00:51:58,439
You're a doctor at a university hospital? Yes.

765
00:51:58,874 --> 00:51:59,890
I'll drink

766
00:52:01,478 --> 00:52:05,929
Whoa! Ah~! Sweet, sweet.

767
00:52:05,929 --> 00:52:10,634
The magistrate turned out to be an unparalleled theater buff

768
00:52:13,055 --> 00:52:17,930
{\an7}INSEPERABLE NEIGHBORS

769
00:52:10,634 --> 00:52:15,022
The more we got drunk, the more we came to know each other.

770
00:52:15,022 --> 00:52:18,779
The issue of eviction from Ontake Manor was finally put to rest.

771
00:52:21,326 --> 00:52:25,725
Here is a great hero who slept soundly through all this commotion.

772
00:52:27,781 --> 00:52:31,372
She had a high fever of almost 40 degrees Celsius since the morning. Her blood pressure was 95-40.

773
00:52:31,373 --> 00:52:36,648
{\an8}2 WEEKS LATER

774
00:52:31,372 --> 00:52:33,624
It's the same as the last time she had stent trouble.

775
00:52:33,624 --> 00:52:36,944
But she didn't want to go to the hospital, and she told her husband not to call an ambulance.

776
00:52:36,944 --> 00:52:40,268
The troubled husband called the doctor's office earlier.

777
00:52:40,464 --> 00:52:43,300
Did you properly persuade her that she would die if left untreated?

778
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:45,769
Her husband gave her a hard time. But Futatsugi-san

779
00:52:45,769 --> 00:52:48,272
is adamant that she die at home.

780
00:52:48,272 --> 00:52:53,277


781
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:49,991
Well,

782
00:52:51,819 --> 00:52:53,069
I guess we have no choice then.

783
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,446
No choice?

784
00:52:55,446 --> 00:52:59,099
Team Leader! I want to have a proper discussion as Class 3.

785
00:52:59,099 --> 00:53:01,618
We've gathered here for Dr. Hojo.

786
00:53:01,618 --> 00:53:03,771
Please be quiet. I'm hungover.

787
00:53:04,357 --> 00:53:07,274
Rikyu. Futatsugi-san's house is in Azumino, isn't it?

788
00:53:07,274 --> 00:53:09,515
Yes, it's about 30 minutes by ambulance.

789
00:53:09,573 --> 00:53:11,921
I'll go out there and bring her back

790
00:53:12,179 --> 00:53:15,425
Hey, Kuri-chan, even if you're a doctor, you can't do that.

791
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,186
Then I'll write the death certificate over there.

792
00:53:17,209 --> 00:53:18,843
Either way, we need a doctor.

793
00:53:18,874 --> 00:53:21,800
You can't make house calls without permission from the medical office.

794
00:53:21,848 --> 00:53:24,117
If we apply to the medical office now, when do we get the approval?

795
00:53:24,157 --> 00:53:26,157
Three days from now.

796
00:53:30,042 --> 00:53:32,643
Class 3 is already on Baker's blacklist.

797
00:53:33,502 --> 00:53:35,803
I won't allow you to ignore the rules any longer.

798
00:53:35,803 --> 00:53:37,955
Unfortunately, I've never ignored the rules.

799
00:53:37,955 --> 00:53:40,313
You administered more anesthesia than necessary during Futatsugi-san's ERCP.

800
00:53:43,924 --> 00:53:47,927
That was my mistake. I'm sorry.

801
00:53:51,633 --> 00:53:53,587
I'm glad you consulted me.

802
00:53:55,816 --> 00:53:59,793
I can't let you guys run amok any longer either.

803
00:54:01,011 --> 00:54:04,126
If you piss off Baker, you won't just lose your bed.

804
00:54:04,759 --> 00:54:06,281
You'll be sent away.

805
00:54:14,739 --> 00:54:17,611
I'm Futatsugi-san's doctor.

806
00:54:17,611 --> 00:54:19,980
I'm the leader of Class 3.

807
00:54:21,036 --> 00:54:24,572
If you're in a medical office where rules are more important than saving the lives of dying patients.

808
00:54:25,994 --> 00:54:28,956
I have no regrets no matter where I get sent.

809
00:54:30,182 --> 00:54:31,625
Rikyu, get a map.

810
00:54:31,625 --> 00:54:34,778
I'm coming with you. Why are you making a big deal out of this?

811
00:54:34,778 --> 00:54:37,281
You take care of the hospital wing while I'm gone.

812
00:54:37,281 --> 00:54:39,783
But... but!

813
00:54:40,729 --> 00:54:43,848
Then I'll go with you. You know what, Miss?

814
00:54:43,888 --> 00:54:47,544
That's enough. Take her with you.

815
00:54:48,942 --> 00:54:52,144
Huh? One or two, doesn't make a difference

816
00:54:52,472 --> 00:54:54,062
Suit yourself.

817
00:54:56,485 --> 00:55:00,365
I'll go get the map. Okay.

818
00:55:04,975 --> 00:55:07,875
(sound of door opening)

819
00:55:21,542 --> 00:55:23,900
You're a really strange person...

820
00:55:25,883 --> 00:55:27,510
Dr. Kurihara.

821
00:55:29,499 --> 00:55:32,920
That's what everyone says. It's annoying that way

822
00:55:35,069 --> 00:55:37,538
I'm not going to the hospital.

823
00:55:40,874 --> 00:55:45,666
You can be hospitalized today, the stent will be replaced and if the fever goes down...

824
00:55:45,666 --> 00:55:49,009
I don't need to hear that kind of theory anymore.

825
00:55:53,746 --> 00:55:55,908
What do you mean by "theory"?

826
00:55:57,905 --> 00:56:00,981
What percentage of this medicine is effective?

827
00:56:03,333 --> 00:56:05,238
What are the side effects?

828
00:56:07,316 --> 00:56:10,965
How much longer can I live?

829
00:56:15,027 --> 00:56:19,130
Rather than theories, a doctor should figure out

830
00:56:20,794 --> 00:56:22,912
Why did I get this disease?

831
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,975
Please tell me

832
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,235
I'm only 29.

833
00:56:31,017 --> 00:56:32,888
Risa is only 7 years old.

834
00:56:34,951 --> 00:56:36,837
How did this happen?

835
00:56:38,228 --> 00:56:39,753
What's wrong with me?

836
00:56:42,317 --> 00:56:44,375
I'm not getting locked up in a hospital again.

837
00:56:45,571 --> 00:56:49,630
I'd rather die of weakness without seeing my husband or daughter.

838
00:56:50,468 --> 00:56:52,143
I'll die here.

839
00:56:53,658 --> 00:56:55,380
This is my home.

840
00:56:56,497 --> 00:56:58,098
I'm not afraid of dying.

841
00:57:00,533 --> 00:57:02,028
I'm only afraid of being hospitalized again

842
00:57:03,801 --> 00:57:06,143
I'm only afraid of not being able to come home.

843
00:57:08,408 --> 00:57:10,326
I'll make sure you come home. You're lying.

844
00:57:10,818 --> 00:57:12,709
I know that much too.

845
00:57:15,264 --> 00:57:17,006
If I'm hospitalized again...

846
00:57:19,350 --> 00:57:21,121
I won't have the strength

847
00:57:23,770 --> 00:57:25,137
to come back.

848
00:57:57,623 --> 00:58:00,986
That's our field over there.

849
00:58:03,937 --> 00:58:05,107
It's a buckwheat field.

850
00:58:07,624 --> 00:58:10,277
Every year we pick the berries and make buckwheat flour.

851
00:58:10,606 --> 00:58:12,153
We make soba.

852
00:58:17,768 --> 00:58:20,506
Let's make soba again this year, Mio...

853
00:58:24,397 --> 00:58:27,916
Let's eat freshly made soba together.

854
00:58:30,905 --> 00:58:35,711
So please...

855
00:58:39,282 --> 00:58:42,282
Please take the treatment.

856
00:58:52,285 --> 00:58:54,585
Mio-san.

857
00:58:57,939 --> 00:59:02,692
I don't know how much time you have left.

858
00:59:04,864 --> 00:59:07,560
Even I, a doctor, don't know

859
00:59:08,979 --> 00:59:13,727
But if you only have 3 months left.

860
00:59:16,462 --> 00:59:20,675
Is there no point in living in the present?

861
00:59:25,250 --> 00:59:31,094
If you have one month left, would you rather die now?

862
00:59:35,832 --> 00:59:37,525
I assure you.

863
00:59:38,691 --> 00:59:41,391
That's absolutely not true.

864
00:59:45,155 --> 00:59:49,155
I made a promise to Risa-chan.

865
00:59:52,084 --> 00:59:57,125
I'll do everything I can as a doctor.

866
01:00:14,406 --> 01:00:15,320
Risa.

867
01:00:43,899 --> 01:00:45,579
I'll make sure...

868
01:00:48,540 --> 01:00:50,896
I'll make sure you get back here.

869
01:00:58,496 --> 01:00:59,449
Risa.

870
01:01:06,410 --> 01:01:07,110
Mama

871
01:01:10,016 --> 01:01:11,586
needs to lower her fever.

872
01:01:17,789 --> 01:01:20,371
Miss, call an ambulance.

873
01:01:21,355 --> 01:01:22,205
Yes

874
01:01:36,875 --> 01:01:39,606
Do you know why you're here?

875
01:01:41,313 --> 01:01:45,854
You made a house call without permission from the medical office, violating medical office discipline.

876
01:01:46,213 --> 01:01:49,193
Therefore, you must be disciplined.

877
01:01:51,595 --> 01:01:52,212
Yes.

878
01:01:52,482 --> 01:01:53,992
Kurihara Ichito-kun.

879
01:01:53,992 --> 01:01:57,345
You are prohibited from working part-time for 6 months from today.

880
01:01:58,991 --> 01:02:00,345
Starvation Tactics?

881
01:02:04,171 --> 01:02:08,866
With all due respect, taking away an unpaid graduate student's part-time job as well...

882
01:02:09,374 --> 01:02:11,776
How is a family of three supposed to live?

883
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,778
That's enough!

884
01:02:13,778 --> 01:02:17,449
I'll quit this hospital myself!

885
01:02:17,449 --> 01:02:19,951
Kurihara-kun... Baker!

886
01:02:19,951 --> 01:02:24,415
Kurihara-kun... Damn you Baker!

887
01:02:24,339 --> 01:02:27,876


888
01:02:25,579 --> 01:02:28,027
When I escaped into the delusion that...

889
01:02:28,504 --> 01:02:29,876
(Knock)

890
01:02:31,796 --> 01:02:33,798
Excuse me. Hm?

891
01:02:33,798 --> 01:02:36,572
I don't remember calling for you.

892
01:02:36,699 --> 01:02:39,054
I don't remember being summoned either.

893
01:02:43,248 --> 01:02:44,110
Usami-sensei,

894
01:02:45,844 --> 01:02:49,262
can't you pass down a lighter punishment?

895
01:02:49,841 --> 01:02:50,849
No, I won't.

896
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:53,335
If you're getting rid of Kuri-chan,

897
01:02:53,452 --> 01:02:55,637
then resident Ayukawa needs to go too.

898
01:02:55,637 --> 01:02:58,137
If you don't follow the rules and dispose of the resident Ayukawa too, it'll be a oversight.

899
01:03:01,142 --> 01:03:04,462
But... if you get rid of the resident doctor,

900
01:03:04,462 --> 01:03:09,467
the reputation of the department of internal medicine will be ruined among them.

901
01:03:10,058 --> 01:03:12,170
Because by far, the coolest thing

902
01:03:12,985 --> 01:03:15,970
is what Kuri-chan and the girl's did this time.

903
01:03:19,144 --> 01:03:21,680
We will become the villains.

904
01:03:22,837 --> 01:03:27,168
Well, I'm not much of a villain.

905
01:03:27,851 --> 01:03:33,141
I wonder how many residents will apply to join the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine next year.

906
01:03:34,045 --> 01:03:37,361
If we're not careful, we'll get zero applicants, which is unprecedented

907
01:03:38,813 --> 01:03:42,317
That's why he gave Miss permission at the time.

908
01:03:42,648 --> 01:03:45,820
Don't tell me you were arguing with me to make excuses for making house calls.

909
01:03:45,820 --> 01:03:48,120
Did you implicitly put her up to it?

910
01:03:53,575 --> 01:03:57,000
Part-time work is prohibited for one month.

911
01:03:58,234 --> 01:03:59,508
Thank you for your help.

912
01:03:59,617 --> 01:04:04,586
Resident Ayukawa, who was made to reluctantly obey Kurihara-kun and accompany him.

913
01:04:04,945 --> 01:04:09,210
Dr. Hojo's verbal warning is fine.

914
01:04:10,915 --> 01:04:12,480
Then...

915
01:04:13,259 --> 01:04:14,880
The Devil Cutter

916
01:04:20,609 --> 01:04:23,298
Hojo-sensei, you saved my life. I'd like to thank you.

917
01:04:23,556 --> 01:04:24,726
Don't mind

918
01:04:27,457 --> 01:04:28,695
Ah,

919
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,848
it was the spring of
my third year as an internist.

920
01:04:35,797 --> 01:04:39,976
I was sent to a hospital on an isolated island called Oyakata Village.

921
01:04:41,796 --> 01:04:44,797
It was the only hospital around there.

922
01:04:45,797 --> 01:04:47,967
Patients came to the hospital every day.

923
01:04:50,150 --> 01:04:54,826
Both minor and major illnesses, the sick and the infirm came crying to the hospital.

924
01:04:56,690 --> 01:04:58,852
There were only two doctors, the director and me.

925
01:05:00,140 --> 01:05:02,911
The director collapsed from overwork.

926
01:05:06,286 --> 01:05:08,249
Every day was a battlefield.

927
01:05:10,652 --> 01:05:14,789
I was inexperienced, and I let a lot of patients die.

928
01:05:17,471 --> 01:05:19,594
It was the first time I cried out to the medical office.

929
01:05:21,485 --> 01:05:24,052
It took a while, but after 6 months,

930
01:05:25,212 --> 01:05:28,291
the medical office sent two doctors and the chaos finally stopped.

931
01:05:30,388 --> 01:05:32,091
The number of dying patients decreased.

932
01:05:34,575 --> 01:05:37,202
The one who saved Oyakata Village from medical collapse was not me.

933
01:05:37,632 --> 01:05:39,545
I wasn't the one who was crying.

934
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,281
It was the unreasonable and contradictory

935
01:05:44,695 --> 01:05:47,374
but immensely powerful university medical bureau.

936
01:05:51,095 --> 01:05:55,846
The power of the medical bureau is supporting medical care in rural areas where there are no doctors.

937
01:05:58,582 --> 01:05:59,543
Dr. Hojo.

938
01:06:01,793 --> 01:06:04,491
That's why I've decided to rise in the medical bureau.

939
01:06:05,452 --> 01:06:09,199
Even if I have to suck up to the top, even if I have to squash the ideals of the bottom.

940
01:06:09,223 --> 01:06:11,206
I'll pile up papers and rise to the top.

941
01:06:12,245 --> 01:06:16,466
I'm going to break down this authoritarianism and make things more open.

942
01:06:19,290 --> 01:06:21,790
This is the reform of the university medical office.

943
01:06:25,074 --> 01:06:28,418
So until then, don't clash with the baker.

944
01:06:29,644 --> 01:06:31,247
When I make the change.

945
01:06:31,958 --> 01:06:34,952
I need a serious doctor like you as my right-hand man.

946
01:06:35,874 --> 01:06:39,189
In this case, seriousness

947
01:06:39,611 --> 01:06:41,963
doesn't mean following the rules.

948
01:06:44,541 --> 01:06:46,779
It means serious competition.

949
01:06:50,672 --> 01:06:52,374
So I'll see you later.

950
01:06:53,882 --> 01:06:55,198
Doctor, where are you going?

951
01:06:55,319 --> 01:06:56,826
Not telling you

952
01:07:09,297 --> 01:07:10,336
Ichi-san.

953
01:07:13,069 --> 01:07:14,062
What's up?

954
01:07:15,284 --> 01:07:16,241
I think

955
01:07:17,405 --> 01:07:20,896
I'll start working in mountain photography soon.

956
01:07:23,979 --> 01:07:28,372
I'll take Koharu with me when I go to meetings.

957
01:07:30,211 --> 01:07:34,911
When we go to the mountains, I'll ask you to take Koharu.

958
01:07:37,976 --> 01:07:39,008
Is that okay?

959
01:07:42,828 --> 01:07:44,189
Of course.

960
01:07:46,730 --> 01:07:51,325
I'm not allowed to work part-time, even if it's only for a month.

961
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,449
I made you worry about money.

962
01:07:56,926 --> 01:07:59,591
My inadequacy is starting to sink in.

963
01:08:03,489 --> 01:08:04,388
I'm sorry.

964
01:08:07,584 --> 01:08:08,885
I'm fine.

965
01:08:11,970 --> 01:08:17,537
Even if things aren't okay, Ichi-san, me, and Koharu.

966
01:08:19,537 --> 01:08:24,230
If the three of us are together, everything will be fine.

967
01:08:43,894 --> 01:08:46,674
Seven times three, 21?

968
01:08:48,006 --> 01:08:52,309
7×4 20...

969
01:08:53,606 --> 01:08:57,268
Add 7 to 21.

970
01:08:59,708 --> 01:09:02,607
28? Yeah.

971
01:09:03,701 --> 01:09:05,973
Futatsugi Mio-san's pancreatic cancer

972
01:09:06,745 --> 01:09:08,766
was continuing to worsen.

973
01:09:10,369 --> 01:09:16,177
I don't know if it's okay to continue depriving her of her strength with anti-cancer drugs like this...

974
01:09:18,136 --> 01:09:19,681
Bye bye.

975
01:09:22,376 --> 01:09:27,212
Doctor, I have to do my homework now. Good bye.

976
01:09:27,469 --> 01:09:29,843
It's tough. Be careful driving home.

977
01:09:29,944 --> 01:09:30,499
Okay.

978
01:09:32,133 --> 01:09:33,461
Dr. Kurihara.

979
01:09:35,965 --> 01:09:37,773
How are you doing? Futatsugi-san.

980
01:09:38,906 --> 01:09:40,610
Do I look like I'm in bad shape?

981
01:09:40,796 --> 01:09:41,936
I don't see it.

982
01:09:43,848 --> 01:09:46,981
You've been in the hospital for two weeks. I have a sneaking suspicion

983
01:09:46,981 --> 01:09:49,333
that you're going to start screaming about going home soon

984
01:09:49,333 --> 01:09:51,453
and embarrass the faithful doctor.

985
01:09:52,586 --> 01:09:54,048
But there's no sign of that.

986
01:09:56,021 --> 01:09:59,695
Then take me for a walk as a reward, doctor.

987
01:10:01,765 --> 01:10:02,983
I'd be happy to.

988
01:10:09,747 --> 01:10:14,174
When was the last time you and I met here?

989
01:10:16,163 --> 01:10:20,661
It seems like a long time ago, but it was just two months ago.

990
01:10:21,716 --> 01:10:22,907
Two months...

991
01:10:24,368 --> 01:10:27,250
it really does feel like a long time.

992
01:10:32,063 --> 01:10:36,844
Risa's always whining about having more homework.

993
01:10:39,027 --> 01:10:45,354
She's trying her best to cheer me up, acting normal.

994
01:10:47,635 --> 01:10:49,836
You're trying acting normal too.

995
01:10:51,222 --> 01:10:57,475
No, you're calm as if you're enlightened.

996
01:11:02,315 --> 01:11:07,315
It's because I decided to trust you.

997
01:11:09,984 --> 01:11:11,741
I'm not alone.

998
01:11:13,588 --> 01:11:15,481
My husband and Risa are here.

999
01:11:17,112 --> 01:11:23,980
That's why I have to do my best to live even for a day.

1000
01:11:26,264 --> 01:11:31,843
I decided to believe in the Doctor who taught me that.

1001
01:11:41,082 --> 01:11:46,254
Courage is nobility under pressure.

1002
01:11:47,028 --> 01:11:48,611
What's that?

1003
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:52,087
It's a quote by Hemingway.

1004
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:56,000
You're definitely brave.

1005
01:12:07,885 --> 01:12:12,185
Can I go home?

1006
01:12:23,581 --> 01:12:25,158
You can go home.

1007
01:12:29,663 --> 01:12:34,667
Normally, you'd have to wait until you're better able to eat.

1008
01:12:36,250 --> 01:12:38,662
Let's get you ready for life after discharge

1009
01:12:40,548 --> 01:12:42,280
What about the anti-cancer drugs?

1010
01:12:43,218 --> 01:12:46,685
If you take them, you won't be able to go home.

1011
01:12:49,442 --> 01:12:51,209
Thank you very much.

1012
01:12:53,248 --> 01:12:55,442
Shall we take a little more of a walk?

1013
01:12:57,012 --> 01:12:59,244
I was answering naturally.

1014
01:13:00,298 --> 01:13:03,532
It wasn't that I didn't have my doubts about stopping the treatment.

1015
01:13:04,451 --> 01:13:08,105
But the more we talked, the more my hesitation disappeared.

1016
01:13:11,041 --> 01:13:13,149
We're having a discharge conference for Ms. Futatsugi-san.

1017
01:13:14,158 --> 01:13:15,720
I'd like you to attend the conference

1018
01:13:15,732 --> 01:13:18,007
and submit your requests to the home nursings.

1019
01:13:18,376 --> 01:13:20,459
You're stopping the treatment?

1020
01:13:24,475 --> 01:13:25,843
That's right.

1021
01:13:25,916 --> 01:13:29,002
Are you giving up on a full recovery?

1022
01:13:30,507 --> 01:13:31,507
That's right.

1023
01:13:45,659 --> 01:13:51,459
What is medicine for...?

1024
01:13:54,737 --> 01:13:57,085
What are they hospitalizing you for...

1025
01:13:58,860 --> 01:14:03,052
For what purpose are they administering harsh medicine...

1026
01:14:11,402 --> 01:14:15,659
It would be difficult to discharge Futatsugi Mio-san

1027
01:14:15,733 --> 01:14:19,553
We, the Home Nursing department and social worker Ichihara-san

1028
01:14:19,752 --> 01:14:22,771
and Care Manager Sawada-san came to this conclusion

1029
01:14:23,045 --> 01:14:26,389
This is also the final decision of the Community Relations Office.

1030
01:14:28,217 --> 01:14:29,665
Could you explain your reasons?

1031
01:14:29,684 --> 01:14:33,712
The biggest problem is that the first aider's anxiety is too strong.

1032
01:14:33,869 --> 01:14:36,644
That's her husband,  Futatsugi Takashi-san.

1033
01:14:37,494 --> 01:14:40,841
In our meeting, he told us he wasn't confident

1034
01:14:40,846 --> 01:14:43,145
about taking care of his wife at home.

1035
01:14:43,342 --> 01:14:46,985
But if anything happens, Class 3 will take care of it.

1036
01:14:46,987 --> 01:14:49,894
In light of our hospital's current discharge guidelines.

1037
01:14:49,976 --> 01:14:51,347
I can't recommend it.

1038
01:14:52,415 --> 01:14:55,744
Guideline No. 1, if the patient wishes to be discharged,

1039
01:14:55,955 --> 01:14:58,534
carefully determine if it's based on sound judgment.

1040
01:14:58,564 --> 01:15:00,398
Carefully assess whether it is based on a calm decision.

1041
01:15:00,465 --> 01:15:02,424
Futatsugi Mio-san once emotionally

1042
01:15:02,454 --> 01:15:05,619
refused to be admitted to the hospital, didn't she?

1043
01:15:06,172 --> 01:15:08,792
I don't think she has the ability to make a calm decision.

1044
01:15:09,087 --> 01:15:14,769
Guideline No. 2: Whether or not the environment is safe for the first caregiver to take care of the patient.

1045
01:15:15,247 --> 01:15:17,069
As I said earlier,

1046
01:15:17,077 --> 01:15:19,804
her husband's anxiety is considerable.

1047
01:15:19,863 --> 01:15:22,735
Isn't that right, Sawada-san? Ah, yes.

1048
01:15:23,072 --> 01:15:26,576
After all, he's got quite a mental burden.

1049
01:15:26,881 --> 01:15:29,517
And we, too, are worried about a person that young,

1050
01:15:29,517 --> 01:15:31,723
taking care of a terminally ill patient at home.

1051
01:15:32,390 --> 01:15:35,918
As a university hospital, for patients who've stopped treatment

1052
01:15:35,933 --> 01:15:38,558
we can't keep patients in the hospital forever.

1053
01:15:38,637 --> 01:15:43,236
Please cooperate with the Community Relations Office to improve the bed situation in the Department of Internal Medicine IV.

1054
01:15:44,420 --> 01:15:47,924
So please transfer the patient instead of discharging her.

1055
01:15:49,302 --> 01:15:50,583
Transfer?

1056
01:15:51,050 --> 01:15:52,974
What does that mean?

1057
01:15:53,063 --> 01:15:56,585
Near Futatsugi-san's house is Azusa River Hospital

1058
01:15:57,334 --> 01:16:00,262
There's a bed available now, and they offer end-of-life care.

1059
01:16:00,286 --> 01:16:04,295
No! Futatsugi-san says she wants to go home!

1060
01:16:04,946 --> 01:16:09,334
If you don't feel comfortable talking to Futatsugi-san.

1061
01:16:09,366 --> 01:16:12,278
As a social worker and I can convey the message

1062
01:16:13,619 --> 01:16:15,330
Are you all...

1063
01:16:16,752 --> 01:16:17,830
idiots?

1064
01:16:18,922 --> 01:16:20,690
Idiot? Rikyu...

1065
01:16:20,755 --> 01:16:23,084
Futatsugi-san says she wants to go home.

1066
01:16:23,118 --> 01:16:25,624
So why are we talking about transferring her to a hospital for end-of-life care!

1067
01:16:25,627 --> 01:16:27,371
Dr. Shinbata, please be careful what you say.

1068
01:16:27,383 --> 01:16:29,408
Look at Futatsugi-san, not the guidelines!

1069
01:16:29,431 --> 01:16:32,156
All Futatsugi-san wants is one thing... to be discharged!

1070
01:16:32,167 --> 01:16:34,762
According to our hospital's discharge guidelines, that's a no.

1071
01:16:35,971 --> 01:16:37,810
That's why you guys are idiots.

1072
01:16:38,254 --> 01:16:40,254
You're idiots!

1073
01:16:42,246 --> 01:16:43,679
Drink some water, Rikyu.

1074
01:16:43,695 --> 01:16:46,786
It's not polite for a doctor to call a staff member an idiot.

1075
01:16:51,528 --> 01:16:53,428
I take back what I said.

1076
01:16:53,860 --> 01:16:56,279
It's not something you should say to someone's face.

1077
01:16:56,295 --> 01:16:58,314
No matter how

1078
01:16:58,338 --> 01:16:59,584
stupid you are!

1079
01:17:00,810 --> 01:17:03,250
I beg your pardon! Why you... Listen to me!

1080
01:17:04,784 --> 01:17:09,972
It's only natural for Futatsugi Mio-san to become emotional under the current situation.

1081
01:17:10,012 --> 01:17:13,712
It's your words that are outrageous, saying that she's not calm!

1082
01:17:16,133 --> 01:17:18,490
Her husband's anxiety is quite understandable.

1083
01:17:19,050 --> 01:17:20,606
His beloved wife is dying,

1084
01:17:21,333 --> 01:17:23,221
leaving behind a seven-year-old daughter

1085
01:17:23,228 --> 01:17:24,918
How can he not be anxious?

1086
01:17:24,949 --> 01:17:28,549
Her husband is living every day as if he's being crushed by anxiety!

1087
01:17:28,573 --> 01:17:31,800
So, here! That's why what you need is not a guideline.

1088
01:17:32,152 --> 01:17:34,165
To a young couple in such a state.

1089
01:17:34,173 --> 01:17:37,325
It's to tell the young couple that it's okay, we're here for them!

1090
01:17:41,628 --> 01:17:45,303
Mio-san can't stay calm. Her husband is so anxious.

1091
01:17:45,311 --> 01:17:47,520
That's not why he can't leave the hospital!

1092
01:17:47,545 --> 01:17:49,685
But getting him out,

1093
01:17:49,982 --> 01:17:51,635
is our job!

1094
01:17:55,755 --> 01:18:02,260
But as a matter of fact, this case is beyond the reach of the Community Relations Office.

1095
01:18:02,699 --> 01:18:05,999
That's our conclusion.

1096
01:18:31,381 --> 01:18:32,651
I see.

1097
01:18:35,313 --> 01:18:38,205
I heard a rumor you took on

1098
01:18:38,205 --> 01:18:41,038
a young pancreatic cancer patient. But you know what?

1099
01:18:41,692 --> 01:18:46,101
If we don't help him out, we'll get scolded by the university medical office.

1100
01:18:47,036 --> 01:18:50,964
We won't be able to get replacement doctors.

1101
01:18:51,643 --> 01:18:55,024
Please do something about that.

1102
01:18:56,618 --> 01:18:58,202
Please

1103
01:19:02,248 --> 01:19:03,379
Please

1104
01:19:07,066 --> 01:19:08,037
(Knock)

1105
01:19:08,037 --> 01:19:09,827
Excuse me. - Oh.

1106
01:19:10,068 --> 01:19:13,416
You wanted to see me? Director Itagaki. Nurse Tonomura!

1107
01:19:13,434 --> 01:19:16,739
Dr. Kurihara! It's been a while.

1108
01:19:18,940 --> 01:19:23,932
I was transferred from the Emergency Department to the newly established Home Nursing Department at Honjo Hospital last year.

1109
01:19:30,042 --> 01:19:33,768
Actually, I was wondering if I could consult with you, Tonomura-chan.

1110
01:19:33,768 --> 01:19:38,467
Kuri-chan had a run-in with the Home Nursing department from the university at the discharge conference.

1111
01:19:38,576 --> 01:19:45,390
{\an8}*The Buddhist statue with eight faces and six arms - signifying one person performing many activities

1112
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:45,397
He's been working hard like Hachimenrokupi* and now he is getting hit from all sides

1113
01:19:46,605 --> 01:19:48,275
Oh, that's good

1114
01:19:48,650 --> 01:19:51,803
Let's have our home nursing department take care of that patient.

1115
01:19:52,014 --> 01:19:54,426
Dr. Itagaki. Please wait. Nurse Tonomura...

1116
01:19:54,433 --> 01:19:55,996
sorry, former chief nurse Tonomura.

1117
01:19:56,067 --> 01:19:59,377
Don't you want to know more about the case?

1118
01:19:59,392 --> 01:20:01,023
Kurihara's in trouble, isn't he?

1119
01:20:01,023 --> 01:20:04,723
If that's the reason you're taking on the case, that's good enough for me.

1120
01:20:07,923 --> 01:20:11,702
Good! Now we just have to figure out how to make house calls.

1121
01:20:11,734 --> 01:20:18,397
Be that as it may, we're still short of doctors...

1122
01:20:20,019 --> 01:20:21,800
Okay, I'll do it!

1123
01:20:23,378 --> 01:20:25,207
Dr. Raccoon!

1124
01:20:25,238 --> 01:20:28,034
(laughs)

1125
01:20:28,034 --> 01:20:31,834
Am I too impatient? Am I too theatrical?

1126
01:20:38,878 --> 01:20:43,015
Doctor! Tozai. It's been a while.

1127
01:20:43,015 --> 01:20:45,534
How are you doing? I'm fine.

1128
01:20:45,534 --> 01:20:48,215
I finally crossed the 30 (year old) mark. Of course you did.

1129
01:20:48,223 --> 01:20:51,540
I'd be surprised if you suddenly crossed 40. What about the doctor?

1130
01:20:51,540 --> 01:20:54,527
No need to ask. You and I are the same age.

1131
01:20:54,527 --> 01:20:58,545
That's not what I meant... there's a rumor that you're making a big splash at the university.

1132
01:20:58,561 --> 01:21:02,218
Everyone's worried that you'll be sent to the outskirts.

1133
01:21:02,218 --> 01:21:04,687
I choose the time and difficulty to take my own path.

1134
01:21:04,687 --> 01:21:07,243
and leave the people to their own devices.

1135
01:21:07,329 --> 01:21:09,041
You haven't changed a bit...

1136
01:21:09,041 --> 01:21:13,395
From the next day on, former chief nurse Tonomura wielded her power.

1137
01:21:13,983 --> 01:21:18,200
She rode to Shinano University Hospital with a social worker from Honjo.

1138
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,788
They held a series of interviews with Mr. and Mrs. Futatsugi and re-selected a care manager.

1139
01:21:22,874 --> 01:21:26,125
They made detailed decisions on everything

1140
01:21:26,125 --> 01:21:27,935
from the home nursing schedule to emergency response.

1141
01:21:30,818 --> 01:21:35,361
One week later, Futatsugi Mio-san was discharged from the hospital.

1142
01:21:47,895 --> 01:21:48,872
Well then...

1143
01:21:50,850 --> 01:21:52,621
Please take care of yourself.

1144
01:21:52,842 --> 01:21:55,455
If anything happens, please contact me immediately.

1145
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:56,502
Yes

1146
01:22:02,676 --> 01:22:04,105
What's wrong?

1147
01:22:06,518 --> 01:22:12,700
A candle burns brightly for a moment just before it goes out, right?

1148
01:22:15,087 --> 01:22:17,841
I thought now might be my time.

1149
01:22:19,549 --> 01:22:22,865
Futatsugi-san. There were many times when I wondered

1150
01:22:24,212 --> 01:22:25,868
if this was the right time.

1151
01:22:28,220 --> 01:22:30,000
But my candle

1152
01:22:31,050 --> 01:22:32,168
won't go out.

1153
01:22:34,181 --> 01:22:36,525
Every time it burns up, it becomes faint,

1154
01:22:37,689 --> 01:22:38,959
but it doesn't go out.

1155
01:22:41,874 --> 01:22:44,674
Because every time it becomes fait

1156
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,031
doctor will surround the fire

1157
01:22:51,015 --> 01:22:52,855
and protect it.

1158
01:22:59,201 --> 01:23:05,066
The big wind and the small wind

1159
01:23:06,824 --> 01:23:09,128
The doctor's hands surrounded and protected me.

1160
01:23:12,179 --> 01:23:13,867
Thank you very much.

1161
01:23:17,303 --> 01:23:19,077
Dr. Kurihara.

1162
01:23:22,838 --> 01:23:29,704
I'll live my life to the fullest.

1163
01:23:44,046 --> 01:23:46,999
Let's go home, Mio. Yes.

1164
01:24:03,252 --> 01:24:04,189
Risa-chan.

1165
01:24:14,233 --> 01:24:15,681
I have a favor to ask.

1166
01:24:17,052 --> 01:24:19,324
No matter how hard things get.

1167
01:24:20,032 --> 01:24:24,732
I want you to smile as much as you can in front of Mama.

1168
01:24:42,460 --> 01:24:43,351
Ah.

1169
01:24:46,211 --> 01:24:48,321
When I get buckwheat seeds, I'll make buckwheat noodles.

1170
01:24:50,794 --> 01:24:53,321
Please come and eat it when you have time.

1171
01:24:54,602 --> 01:24:57,052
Yes! I will definitely come.

1172
01:24:57,482 --> 01:25:00,018
I love soba too.

1173
01:25:01,057 --> 01:25:04,339
I'm looking forward to it.

1174
01:25:12,583 --> 01:25:14,798
Do you know why you're here?

1175
01:25:15,978 --> 01:25:16,759
No.

1176
01:25:17,373 --> 01:25:19,584
I got a complaint from the Community Relations Office.

1177
01:25:20,678 --> 01:25:22,298
You pushed for

1178
01:25:22,641 --> 01:25:25,178
the discharge of Futatsugi Mio-san

1179
01:25:27,404 --> 01:25:31,911
Listen, there are 10 children here who are dying of hunger.

1180
01:25:32,779 --> 01:25:34,634
There's only one loaf of bread available.

1181
01:25:35,751 --> 01:25:38,307
What would... What would you do?

1182
01:25:41,432 --> 01:25:43,011
This is not a delusion.

1183
01:25:44,003 --> 01:25:48,166
This bread isn't small. Rather, it's large.

1184
01:25:48,955 --> 01:25:51,241
In fact, it's quite plentiful.

1185
01:25:54,379 --> 01:25:58,835
These loaves are being held dearly in the university hospital.

1186
01:25:58,867 --> 01:26:03,528
But the way they're distributed is complicated and bizarre. Doctors are bound by rules and regulations.

1187
01:26:03,559 --> 01:26:08,552
It's not even easy to discharge a single pancreatic cancer patient.

1188
01:26:09,841 --> 01:26:11,538
What would you do now?

1189
01:26:13,499 --> 01:26:15,575
Kurihara. I would

1190
01:26:16,582 --> 01:26:21,662
take those loaves of bread and give them to starving children.

1191
01:26:23,524 --> 01:26:28,739
The university hospital forgot to distribute

1192
01:26:30,121 --> 01:26:32,587
the precious special bread itself.

1193
01:26:34,241 --> 01:26:37,953
Do you even know what you're talking about? Yes.

1194
01:26:39,009 --> 01:26:41,219
That's enough talking about bread, Dr. Usami.

1195
01:26:42,895 --> 01:26:46,874
I want to talk about the patient.

1196
01:26:53,447 --> 01:26:56,064
You don't seem like a man who fits in at the medical office.

1197
01:26:59,117 --> 01:27:00,616
You should step back

1198
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:13,255
After this day, the days continued to be eerily quiet.

1199
01:27:18,347 --> 01:27:21,534
I'd occasionally hear from former chief nurse Tonomura,

1200
01:27:22,030 --> 01:27:25,154
to update me on the progress of  Futatsugi-san.

1201
01:27:28,076 --> 01:27:29,011
And.

1202
01:27:32,545 --> 01:27:34,115
She can't eat anymore.

1203
01:27:35,498 --> 01:27:37,428
She's getting worse every half a day.

1204
01:27:42,587 --> 01:27:46,695
It's difficult for her to sit up. She's bedridden.

1205
01:27:49,558 --> 01:27:54,845
She spends her time playing "Ayatori"*
*String figure formed by manipulating string on, around one or multiple people's fingers

1206
01:27:54,855 --> 01:27:56,265
with Risa-chan sometimes.

1207
01:28:01,967 --> 01:28:03,649
Drink up, Ichito.

1208
01:28:12,971 --> 01:28:16,338
Futatsugi-san's blood pressure...

1209
01:28:17,553 --> 01:28:22,086
It's dropping considerably. It's below 80 today.

1210
01:28:23,192 --> 01:28:25,843
Director Itagaki will be arriving soon.

1211
01:28:28,296 --> 01:28:31,436
She's conscious, but she can't talk anymore.

1212
01:28:32,618 --> 01:28:34,649
She probably won't last until morning.

1213
01:28:37,188 --> 01:28:38,832
Don't come, Doctor.

1214
01:28:40,215 --> 01:28:42,992
If you come, you'll only disrupt Mio-san's last moments.

1215
01:28:44,664 --> 01:28:46,595
It's her last time with her family.

1216
01:28:49,905 --> 01:28:51,101
I understand.

1217
01:29:06,718 --> 01:29:09,518
(sound of email being received)

1218
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:16,151
TONOMURA KATUSKO
11:55PM O-tsukare-sama (what Japanese people say at the end of a work day - implying that Mio-san has just passed away)

1219
01:30:13,045 --> 01:30:34,170
{\an8}*he is singing "Ode to Early Spring", published in 1913, lyrics by Kazumasa Yoshimaru and music by Akira Nakata.

1220
01:30:13,035 --> 01:30:20,359
♬"Spring is only a name"

1221
01:30:20,359 --> 01:30:26,882
♬"and the wind is cold"

1222
01:30:26,882 --> 01:30:34,189
♬"the valley is full of nightingales"

1223
01:30:34,463 --> 01:30:38,303
Have a good day Ichi-san. Come back soon Daddy

1224
01:30:39,131 --> 01:30:42,843
I'll see you later, Koharu.

1225
01:30:44,527 --> 01:30:47,913
Haru, let's take Koharu to lunch at the school cafeteria today

1226
01:30:48,484 --> 01:30:49,781
At the university?

1227
01:30:49,969 --> 01:30:52,271
I got a notice from Usami-sensei last night.

1228
01:30:52,919 --> 01:30:55,850
He asked me to come to Professor Mizushima's office first thing today.

1229
01:30:57,201 --> 01:30:58,794
It's probably a personnel transfer.

1230
01:30:59,864 --> 01:31:03,093
I want to show Haru and Koharu the university I work at.

1231
01:31:05,078 --> 01:31:07,511
OK, I'll see you at lunch.

1232
01:31:09,358 --> 01:31:11,129
I'm off then.

1233
01:31:12,875 --> 01:31:15,697
(See you later)  My wife's expression doesn't change

1234
01:31:16,276 --> 01:31:18,745
I think I'll do the same.

1235
01:31:21,699 --> 01:31:22,457
(Knock)

1236
01:31:24,845 --> 01:31:25,855
Excuse me.

1237
01:31:31,115 --> 01:31:33,115
Do you know why you're here?

1238
01:31:33,998 --> 01:31:37,738
It's about personnel matters for next year. Yes.

1239
01:31:43,277 --> 01:31:44,715
Dr. Kurihara Ichito.

1240
01:31:45,083 --> 01:31:48,844
You're to be Class 1 leader of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine next year.

1241
01:31:49,616 --> 01:31:52,045
Yes. Yes?

1242
01:31:52,973 --> 01:31:55,203
Next year, Class 1 Leader Dr. Kakizaki.

1243
01:31:55,203 --> 01:31:59,357
will be promoted to Director of the Endoscopy Center. This is a personnel transfer in accordance with that.

1244
01:32:00,182 --> 01:32:02,544
What? The Fourth Department of Internal Medicine has

1245
01:32:02,544 --> 01:32:05,934
received a much larger number of applicants for next year than usual.

1246
01:32:05,996 --> 01:32:08,730
Ayukawa-kun is also hoping to join the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

1247
01:32:09,605 --> 01:32:12,828
Miss is going into clinical practice.

1248
01:32:12,867 --> 01:32:15,002
A lot of things happened, but in this regard.

1249
01:32:15,057 --> 01:32:17,661
Professor Mizushima and I both greatly appreciated your work.

1250
01:32:18,512 --> 01:32:20,195
That's all. You may leave.

1251
01:32:20,195 --> 01:32:22,514
Are you okay with the complaint from the Community Relations Office?

1252
01:32:22,514 --> 01:32:26,174
It's not good. But it's Professor Mizushima's decision.

1253
01:32:29,315 --> 01:32:32,691
University hospitals are home to a wide variety of doctors.

1254
01:32:32,691 --> 01:32:35,210
It's a truly diverse group.

1255
01:32:35,210 --> 01:32:38,506
It's an incoherent and uncoordinated group.

1256
01:32:39,850 --> 01:32:41,260
I agree.

1257
01:32:42,087 --> 01:32:44,072
Kurihara-kun, I believe

1258
01:32:44,369 --> 01:32:47,889
that a medical office with many troubled doctors

1259
01:32:47,889 --> 01:32:51,877
who are united can provide better medical care

1260
01:32:51,877 --> 01:32:55,353
than a bunch of doctors who can't get their act together.

1261
01:32:56,047 --> 01:32:59,148
That is the weapon of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine.

1262
01:32:59,309 --> 01:33:02,565
And it just got even stronger with the addition of yourself.

1263
01:33:04,603 --> 01:33:07,938
I'm sure Usami-kun will continue to talk about bread.

1264
01:33:08,785 --> 01:33:12,585
You should continue to talk about patients.

1265
01:33:20,483 --> 01:33:24,608
We at the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine received this from the family of Futatsugi Mio-san.

1266
01:33:36,848 --> 01:33:39,383
On the front page of a small postcard.

1267
01:33:39,774 --> 01:33:46,364
there were words of gratitude for us written in precise script

1268
01:33:46,364 --> 01:33:51,131
by Mio-san's husband, Futatsugi Takahashi-san.

1269
01:33:53,412 --> 01:33:59,328
His dear wife had passed away, yet he spared a thought for us

1270
01:34:01,584 --> 01:34:07,517
And that was the end of it.

1271
01:34:10,987 --> 01:34:15,269
THANK YOU DOCTOR

1272
01:34:16,336 --> 01:34:20,693
FUTATSUGI TAKAHASHI
FUTATSUGI RISA

1273
01:34:32,495 --> 01:34:34,062
Kurihara-kun.

1274
01:34:34,212 --> 01:34:35,223
Oh, yes.

1275
01:34:41,271 --> 01:34:43,869
Thank you for your hard work.

1276
01:35:01,613 --> 01:35:03,317
It's my first time here.

1277
01:35:04,682 --> 01:35:07,509
It's a beautiful, spacious university.

1278
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:14,859
Haru, you haven't heard anything about personnel changes?

1279
01:35:16,999 --> 01:35:20,545
I'm interested, but I'm not worried.

1280
01:35:21,359 --> 01:35:24,512
I'll go anywhere as long as my family is with me.

1281
01:35:28,785 --> 01:35:30,861
I guess so.

1282
01:35:32,004 --> 01:35:35,348
Dr. Kurihara, I heard the news!

1283
01:35:37,793 --> 01:35:39,747
Let's get out of here, Haru. What?

1284
01:35:39,763 --> 01:35:41,951
It'll be trouble if we get caught. Run, run.

1285
01:35:44,659 --> 01:35:47,754
Why are you running away? He's so weird

1286
01:35:47,786 --> 01:35:49,671
Doctor, Dr. Kurihara! Run!

1287
01:35:49,671 --> 01:35:51,356
Miss, catch him!
