You went through a LOT of pain giving birth to her.
You're the only mother she has.
I don't think so.
What are you thinking?
Are you stupid?
Selfishly got pregnant, selfishly gave birth, almost gave it away, but kept it because it's cute?
Are you stupid? You lack imagination!
Please stop that.
In August, you were born, Hazuki.
In December of that year,
I was rushed to an emergency room in New Orleans.
I gave birth...
Stop it.
She's my child,
Yoko.
An unwanted child born into this world will always suffer.
Always suffering.
Always in pain.
Don't forget that.
What are you talking about?
Okayama dialect....
Who is it?
What are you talking about? I don't know.
If you have something to say, say it properly!
Mayu!
Where are you? Answer me, Mayu!
Please don't do that!
Outsiders are not allowed!
Hide!
I said get out of the way!
Where is Mayu!?
She's not here!
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest downtown district in East Asia.
What is it? I'm calling the police!
Hostess bars, Host clubs, Girls bars,
Oh, I see. Wait a minute.
and other legally judged entertainment establishments line the streets.
It has been reborn as a healthy and hygienic youth district
Off-duty officers...
Kabukicho, where people of every language and ethnicity gathers.
Shut up!
... only have the authority to arrest people in the act.
Ummm...
Yes, yes, yes. Excuse me~.
What? What is it...
Stop it. What are you doing, Okamoto?
What's up with you?
- Are you gonna do it!? - Okay, okay...
- Ah, Mayu! - Yes, yes...
Oh~! Ouch..!
You're under arrest for assaulting an officer!
Move!
Ouch!
Stop!
Ouch...
What happened here?
It's nothing.
I did it to myself.
Bend your knees.
Ugh! Ouch!
Tetanus.
I've seen many in the warzone.
Soon, the toxins will be circulating throughout the body,
causing numbness in the jaw and difficulty in speaking.
Could it be flesh-eating bacteria?
Flesh-eating bacteria?
Me?
Necrotizing fasciitis, it is.
If the bacteria spread throughout the body,
sepsis occurs, resulting in multiple organ failure and death.
You're lying...
I don't want it.
Help me.
If you really want us to save your life,
we have no choice but to amputate.
No, no, no, no!
In this corner of Kabukicho is "Saint Magokoro Hospital"
Also known as...
No, no, no, no!
Shinjuku Field Hospital
Later that day,
Mayu filed a criminal complaint
against her mother's boyfriend.
Mr. XXX, I'd like to ask you a few questions
I ain't talkin' to you!
I'm from Shojitsu Weekly.
Stop filming, asshole. Hey show me your card!
I'm from Shojitsu Weekly.
Stop filming, asshole. Hey show me your card!
You sexually assaulted your partner's daughter...
Call the police!!
Ahhhhhh...if you were caught, they would have removed the mosaic.
I wish you didn't give that guy medical treatment.
Criminal domestic violence offender, I will serve them.
That's what a doctor is.
After all, the law was just introduced, wasn't it?
How many years?
The maximum term for indecent assault is 10 years.
Short~.
In America, the maximum sentence for sexual assault is 30 years.
If it's less than three years, he might get a suspended sentence.
Hmm?
Does that mean he can see me after that?
No, no... that... that's not it.
Because there will be a restraining order.
What was it, by the way?
What was that white face trying to say the other day?
White face?
Does she mean Hazuki-san?
I don't recognize any white face.
White face.
A woman with a white face.
White rabbit.
An unwanted child born into this world will always suffer.
Always suffering.
Always in pain.
Don't forget that.
She was talking about me, right?
No, no, I think she was talking about herself.
Hazuki-san doesn't have it that hard.
She's always doted on by the Director.
A woman with a white face,
with a black-heart,
Shirayaki. (seafood grilled without seasoning)
She's still going on.
Isn't there a lot going on? I don't know.
No, I do know.
I'm the least knowledgeable of them all,
but somehow I know the most.
What are you going to do?
I'll talk to Yoko, too, sooner or later, without revealing anything.
If you do that, she'll get in the way.
That Jazz Lady.
That Jazz lady, you didn't pay severance?
Come on. Not in front of my daughter.
Money is the key at times like these.
Cash Cash!
With cash, you can do anything.
If you had told Shiraki,
we would have done whatever we could have done.
That's why we're in this situation now, isn't it?
What do you mean?
That's why I was blackmailed and extorted by that wicked woman...
Ah!
Wow, Keizo-san~, what a splendid man you've become!
Let me see your face.
How are you? Just the right time.
It's been 42 years~!
I heard you were very successful.
I'm so jealous!
No, no, Ritsuko-san is as beautiful as ever.
You've sponged off your Dad and now sponging off your brother.
Hahaha..!
Shut up, hag! Greedy old hag!
You're no better than a Yakuza!
Please be quiet!!
Let's sit down and listen to what the Director has to say.
That's why we're gathered here today.
Yeah,
I'm going to have Yoko take over.
We haven't sat down yet.
No way.
There's nothing to talk about.
What?
It's time to go down.
What?
1:00 p.m., I see.
Just a little....
I have to go too. Interview with my mother.
Can we chat a little longer?
Only you laugh at your chatter.
It's not that she's not skilled.
And her language is abusive.
But, even so...
No. That's why it's interesting.
Don't you think so, Shiraki-san?
What's going to happen to Shiraki if the Director dies and Yoko-sensei takes over?
Can we not talk about this until after I'm dead?
I'm getting fired because he thinks less of me.
Damn!
That's not true.
What the Director of Magokoro needs is not money or political power.
It's the right attitude to face life.
She has the credentials and the qualities to do so!
She doesn't qualify!
Hey.
Sorry, I can't.
Everything you are saying, nothing is registering.
I keep seeing her mother's face
and I don't feel comfortable having you sit there and listen in silence!
Then I'll just say one thing.
You're talking as if you're assuming that
Yoko is aiming for the next director's seat.
She has the freedom to choose, of course,
but she also has the right to refuse.
Huh? What are you saying, old hag?
Military doctors are treated like officers in America!
Even after retirement
they get priority
and scouted from larger hospitals.
Ri-chan.
He think he's an elite guy.
For you, this is an important and precious hospital that you inherited from your parents,
but you have no right to make her work for low wages
in a lowly dirty little hospital like this!
Boo!
What's wrong?
Stop it.
Move aside!
Her face isn't white.
Red fox.
You're also Takamine?
Yes.
The social worker who attended last time, Takamine,
is a cousin of mine, and today she's...
Happiness has come to...
Hazuki-san!
He have, she has...
Hazuki-san!
No good! Bring me more champagne, handsome!
Handsome! Handsome! Handsome!
I'm tired of seeing so many handsome guys on all sides.
On the contrary, I miss Wada Ben now.
Wada Ben! Wada Ben! Wada Ben! Wada Ben!
Whoo!
She's unwell. I am taking her place.
Oh my...
Have you found a new place to live, Miyajima-san?
I'm looking for it but it's not easy.
The restraining order is valid for one year,
so I strongly recommend that you move out during that time.
There is also
the option of living in a foster home until high school graduation.
We would like to start over, preferably with just the two of us.
I know that my time as Mayu's mother
was limited due to our financial situation,
and as the only family I have,
I want to make sure that we face this situation and make amends.
Then, if your daughter leaves the facility...
Yes.
And it's closer to the high school from home.
What do you think? Mayu.
I'll change for the better.
Did you get a new cell phone?
Eh?
Don't say "Eh?"
Did you buy it? A cell phone?
You didn't change your cell phone, did you?
Sorry.
For him to call me, when he gets back.
Don't answer it.
He can't contact this cell phone while under the restraining order.
I mean, we're not going to move, anyway.
It's over.
Time to be a mother?
It's long over.
You're too late!
I mean, you stopped thinking of me as your daughter, didn't you?
That's you gave up.
Give me a break.
I'm sorry you're my mother.
It's useless unless you get amnesia.
Family? Huh?
Who with whom?
It's already broken!
You, me, and that man are all sick! Don't you get it?
If I stay with you, I'll remain sick!
So I have to live on my own! Right?
Change your cell phone!
Hurry up and move you idiot!
When will you ever learn!?
Mayu-chan! Mayu-chan!
It's pathetic.
I don't even get angry when you say things like this.
It's pathetic.
Ahhh, that was tense!
Mayu was more like the mother instead.
Indeed.
I guess you have to say something like that to break off the relationship.
But I hope she was able to clear her mind a little.
I'm sure she was in a lot of pain because she couldn't say anything.
There are children who are still suffering because they couldn't say anything, aren't there?
Can I clear my head, too?
Eh?
What? What?
Mai-chan!
Eh? Wait, wait.
No, no, no, no!
Ah...
No, no, no, no!
No.
No, that was really different!
She's Yoko's mother, and she and her daughter have a bad drinking problem.
No, that's not it.
What?
Nah.
Let's go get something to eat.
Eh? Eh...
In the winter of 2024, your insurance card will be tied to your personal number...
Kuroki.
Aoki.
Oki.
Roppongi.
Bijoki.
It's Shiraki!
There's someone in the lobby.
Oh, it's Shige-san, right?
That's the homeless guy at Suzume Park.
In the summer, he comes here to cool off.
Today's gonna be a sweltering night.
Shouldn't he be checked? He might be sick.
No.
Because he doesn't have any money or insurance.
The patient looks like he's in a lot of pain, but the IV isn't sticking.
Bravo!
Japanese healthcare system is kind.
In America, he would get kicked out.
The only one that doesn't kick you out in Japan is Magokoro.
Do you want to do a medical interview?
He smells a little bad because he hasn't bathed.
He's a friendly guy.
Uh huh.
Shige-san,
this is Nishi Yoko-sensei of the Surgery Department.
Are you poor?
Hey, that's a bit sudden...
Hahaha... Sorry sis.
The benches in the park have been turned into boats.
What?
What is it this?
A bench.
It's a boat, isn't it?
A boat, boat.
It depends on the viewer's perspective. It looks like a cut-up kamaboko.
Kamaboko is steamed seasoned fish paste in a semi cylindrical shape on a strip of wood
Just sit down and try to sit on the boat.
Right?
They call it the malicious bench.
They deliberately made it in a strange shape
to prevent people from sleeping on the streets.
No, don't complain to me.
It's a desperate measure to prevent drunken revelry and noise, or to ensure children play safely.
There are NO kids.
In the end you got rid of them. As expected.
Tell the local government.
My ass!
I've never had a date get stood up before.
I didn't say I was going.
Wait, was that a date?
Pick it up?
What?
Shareholder complimentary tickets.
Can be used permanently at all cinemas and restaurants in Shinjuku.
Why do you have such shareholder's tickets?
Of course it's because I AM shareholder!
I don't understand~.
Are you mad at me? Are you asking me out?
You haven't told him yet.
To Toru? About that?
Eh, heh, it's hard to find the right time.
Whoa, I'll tell! I'll tell him!
Wait a minute, I'm the police.
Ahhh, Mai~.
Eh?
What kind of cold response is that, to a woman like that?
What's going on?
Nothing.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's the frog phenomenon.
The frog phenomenon is a psychological term which refers to a person becoming disenchanted with someone they like as soon as they reciprocate, but in Gen Z lingo, it is used to mean that a person cools off to someone they like at the slightest provocation.
She's just no longer number one on my heart's top ten list.
Now I miss the days
when I had a crush on her.
What... if that's the case, the frog changed so soon?
Yeah, it was quick. You just walked a few meters hand in hand, right?
It's like going to Kushikatsu Tanaka and re-filling the cabbage.
Kushikatsu Tanaka is a popular Osaka-based deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables restaurant that allows for unlimited cabbage refills.
Mai is just too serious.
She's a nice girl,
but she goes back-and-forth too much to be interesting.
Hmm? What is it?
No, it's nothing. It's nothing.
If you don't like her any more, that's okay.
Toru! If you're not busy tonight, how about we practice chest drains?
Yeah! By all means, please!
And while you're at it, you want to practice your sheath?
If you could do it, it would be a big help.
Yes. Especially cases where ECMO is needed in the future....
ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, a simple type of artificial heart-lung used for severe respiratory failure or severe circulatory failure complicated by heart failure that cannot be treated with ordinary ventilator management
Wait, wait, Magokoro doesn't have ECMO.
But even so, it's better to be able to perform lifesaving procedures.
By all means, please!
What's that? It's like a puppy wagging its tail.
Don't tell me she's number one on his heart's top ten list....
Yoko-sensei!?
Busted!
Why have I not heard about this! What? What?
When and how did it start?
Remember, there was an operation for a cardiac tamponade the other day?
At that time...
Thank you! Thank you, Toru! Ahh!
I felt her boobies! Hahaha..!
Are you a school kid!?
That's for sure.
She's a bit excessive with physical contact, isn't she?
What? Really?
Yokoyama! Whoo!
Tajima! Whoo!
Oh.... From the back.
Because she is American, she's carefree about looks and feelings.
Is that so?
Numa-chan! Whoo!
Yokoyama! Whoo!
Yokoyama! Aha~!
Wait, am I the only one who's losing out?
It's motivating, isn't it!
Makes you want to live up to expectations.
Yes, yes, yes!
Despite the patient's life being the top priority, I'm confused by her messy attitude...
It's Gap Moe!!
Gap Moe refers to being strongly attracted to a person by the fact that one's impression of that person differs depending on the situation, such as between work and private life, between first meeting and after getting to know the person.
She's bilingual and has a dialect!
She's getting more fans.
Ohana-san: Is romance between cousins OK?
Elderly people and children alike, they want to see Yoko-sensei.
Next time I save someone's life,
I might propose to her.
If they are more than four degrees of kinship, they can get married.
4 degrees....

Oh, it's okay.
Director, may I have a word?
That's great. Studying?
It's six months until the national exam.
Oh, and Shiraki is here, too.
It's not Shiraki.
No, it is Shiraki.
What? Trick-question?
What's a "My Number insurance card"?
The government is calling for linking insurance cards to IDs.
You didn't do that before?
Yes. We're late, aren't we?
No, it's progress.
Progress? Where?
Americans don't have insurance.
No national health insurance.
Medicare for seniors.
Medicaid for low income earners.
Each is insured by the Government or the States.
But, without it,
most citizens take out a private one
and it's....
Super expensive.
You can receive advanced medical care by paying high insurance premiums.
So the gap keeps getting bigger...
Not good.
E-Eh... What... what is it? What is it? Huh?
Ah, she's just envious that Japanese people are all elderly and low-income.
Ah...
No!
I didn't say that! Translate it properly!
Is there anything else you don't understand?
Japanese ambulances don't charge for their services.
In America, you have to pay?
$1300 on average (200,000 Yen)
Super expensive.
Therefore, we will only transport the most seriously ill patients.
All the patients who come to Magokoro come by ambulance,
but that's because they are very sick....
It's free.
Bravo!
Not bravo, not at all!
Taxpayers are paying for it.
It gets abused too easily.
About 50% of the patients have minor symptoms.
Severe or minor, who decides?
Usually the paramedic on the scene.
If judged to be a minor illness,
they would still be taken to a tertiary facility
because they're afraid if something serious were to happen.
The tertiary facilities fill up quickly.
And the rejected patients come back to secondary facilities like ours.
Then create a 2.5 order of magnitude.
Ah?
(Shiraki) 2.5?
If it comes to Magokoro, yes.
More facilities, more doctors....
You say it's that simple, but money....
Shiraki-san.
The rich and the poor have equal access to medical care.
Ambulances are free of charge.
It is rare in this world.
Japanese doctors, you should be more proud.
Keep your head up!
Oh... yes.
Yes.... you say.
That's right.
I used to do surgeries and admit inpatients.
Then one day, I couldn't do it anymore,
and I took it for granted.
It's not your fault.
But I'm pretty sure I was being mean.
I can't believe
my daughter made me realize that.
After the sheath is inserted, pull out the inner tube and guidewire together with your right hand.
OK, now we just need to wet it and fix it.
Yes.
It's been 2 months since she came,
but I feel like the days of the old Kabukicho Red Beard
have returned.
Yoko-san, you've seen soldiers on the battlefield, hasn't you?
Yeah.
Do you have any words to say
to a patient you know will never survive?
No?
I guess it's not like the movies.
I'm sorry.
The human body tries to live until the last moment.
I will never give up, never say a word of comfort.
But if I was forced to say something...
Laugh.
Ah...
It is said that laughing improves immunity, right?
The brain perceives it as fun, and it picks up.
For example...
That's terrible!
Try it yourself.
Hahaha..!
Did I do it?
Hey! What's that face?
If you cross your eyes like this....
Do it! Hahaha..!
Hey, old man! Get up!
Uncle Shige!
Hmmm?
Ah~ Ha ha ha.
No, no, I'm back to life~!
Thanks!
It's Toru.
Thank you for your time today.
She's sleeping....
I'm very proud of myself.
What?
Oh, that's not it.
Yoko-sensei let me sleep here.
You scared me.
2 Weeks Later
If "My Number" card and insurance card are combined, there will be so many conveniences!
It is true that there are issues to be addressed.
But we will resolve each and every one of them! We will.
Here is my ally, Kawashima Kazuya-sensei, Vice Minister of Defense, who came to support us!
Emergency!
Male, 60s, address unknown, unemployed.
A passerby called for first aid when he collapsed on the street.
He is conscious, and was transported to our hospital at his own request.
Move him, 1-2-3!
Shige-san, are you okay? Can you hear me?
Do you know where we are, Shige-san?
Yokoyama. Take over.
Taking over.
He was able to speak, right?
Yes, he asked us to bring him to Magokoro.
Heat stroke, huh.
Set up an IV.
Lung murmur is audible.
- Do you have his chart? - Yes?
Check for any underlying condition.
Quick!
Oh?
Has Shige-san ever been examined at our office?
Not once.
He just cools off in the lobby and goes home.
Then there are no medical records.
SpO2 70%!
Eh?
Pneumonia?
Toru auxiliary ventilation!
Yeah!
If saturation does not increase, intubate!
Also CT preparation!
OK!
Shiraki, look for an emergency medical center!
What? Why?
It's not a heat stroke?
ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)
Right.
His breathing is getting worse and worse!
Emergency facilities refuse to accept!
What!
Everywhere is packed with heat stroke sufferers today.
The left ventricle is not moving at all.
Myocarditis.
Is there anything we can do?
Blood pressure is also down.
Shige-san wanted to come here.
We need ECMO to help him.
ECMO huh.
Shiraki-san, please contact ECMO-enabled tertiary facilities.
It doesn't matter how far away it is! If found, transport immediately!
Until then, we just have to hold on somehow...
What's wrong?
No. Insurance cards, contact information for relatives, cell phones...
A grandson... maybe.
We don't know anything about Shige-san, do we?
Is his Shige "Shigeru"
or is his Shige "Shigemori"...?
Ah!
NOT ALONE!
They line up soup kitchens and relief supplies!
Oh, we have it!
The person's details.
Nojima Kosuke, age 69.
It also includes emergency contact information.
Would you like us to contact them?
His name wasn't Shige.
That's right.
He likes to be called Shige-san since he has the same birthday as Nagashima Shigeo.
February 20. Same as Fujita Nicole.
What's up?
Emergency facility accepted!
One ECMO unit available!
Alright! Let's transport!
However, it's in Kachidoki!
Kachidoki!?
In any case, they told us to go there.
Come on! Let's move!
Yeah!
I wonder if he will last until Kachidoki....
Kachidoki is about 13km away from Shinjuku, about a 25 minute drive
It's Shige-san, isn't it?
Hey, Shige-san, what's going on! Hey!
Good luck, Shige-san!
Someone come with me!
I'm going!
Good luck, the two of you!
Shige-san Fight!
Careful, careful.
OK!
Please go!
Take care of them!
Shige-san!
The visitors seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Today's high temperature is 39.6°C in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture.
The temperature reached 39.5℃ in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture, on a midsummer's day.
Breaking news:
Deputy Defense Minister Kawashima was taken to the emergency room after feeling ill during a speech.
According to the officials he was giving a street speech in Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku....
Blood pressure is down.
Pulse also increased.
Hey Uncle Shige!
Fight it!
I'll connect you to ECMO, and you'll live!
Stop, stop!
Excuse me. Please stop!
Stop!
We're from Saint Magokoro Hospital, Shinjuku.
Male in his 60s with myocarditis.
Excuse me, please move back.
Back up. Yes, back up.
Eh? What?
Why?
We were here first!
SpO2 73%!
Pulse at radial artery is weak.
Prepare for cardiac massage.
Yes!
1-2-3!
We're moving.
Entering Catheter lab.
The patient from Shinjuku with myocarditis, right?
SpO2 70%. Weak pulse.
Hurry up.
We asked for an ECMO unit.
I'll arrange for immediate cannulation.
1-2-3!
ECMO is ready.
There is one unit left.
Disinfecting the skin.
We will do it.
Arai-sensei.
The minister is now in VF. (ventricular fibrillation)
Wait a minute!
What about the sheath?
I can do it.
But...
I just learned sheath insertion.
It's an order from the director.
Hey!
What's the hold up? We need to go soon!
Unfortunately, ECMO cannot be used for this patient.
What?
Unfortunately,
a myocardial infarction patient who was brought in before this patient,
is now in ventricular fibrillation.
Why?
We were here first!
As I mentioned earlier, we have one ECMO unit left.
We will give priority to the patient's condition and urgency.
No!
We got here first! It's urgent!
No pulse.
Inject adrenaline!
He's in cardiac arrest! Begin cardiac massage!
NO!
This one goes first!
Please calm down!
Shige-san!
I understand how you feel, doctor.
Who should we choose, who is more productive to society?
I don't know. You tell me.
Even if the patient survives, he or she is not expected to return to society,
so we don't dare to challenge.
No challenge?
You're abandoning him?
Of course, we will do our best.
Then send the ECMO over here!
Excuse me, but I understand that he is a homeless man with no known identity.
All lives are equal!
Sorry, we have a VIP here.
Hang in there!!
Please.
Shige-san!
If the patient's own heartbeat has not resumed, we'll take care of him together.
Shige-san! Hang in there! Shige-san!
Rhythm check.
Still in cardiac arrest.
I'll take over.
If I knew this was going to happen, he should have stayed at Magokoro.
Uncle Shige! Fight!
- Deflation. - Deflation.
Contrast imaging.
We have re-perfusion.
Uncle Shige! Uncle Shige!
Yoko-sensei?
The stenting is complete and the patient's own heartbeat is recovering.
Uncle Shige! Uncle Shige!
Yoko-sensei.
Yoko-sensei, it doesn't matter how much you laugh!
Immunity!
You've got to give the brain the illusion!
Is that what you mean by laughing?
If we laugh, Uncle Shige will laugh too!
Then his brain will be deceived!
Just laugh!
What are you doing?
Eh?
Cowgirl position?
It's cardiac massage!
Don't worry, she's a doctor.
This is Shige... Nojima's...
I'm his son.
I got a call earlier.
I was shocked.
I didn't know my father was in Kabukicho.
I'm a cab driver so I used to drive around there a lot.
What are you doing?
Dad, it's been years...
You bastard!
You didn't even show up at mom's funeral!
Change.... I'm tired.
Yes!
Uhm...
What?
Can I take over?
Go ahead.
Thank you....
- Press harder! - Yes!
Mai-chan, Toru, Poli-ko.
Laugh!
It's okay! Just laugh!
Laugh! Laugh!
Rhythm check!
See.
Ah...
Oh...
He's smiling.
Time of death, 8:04 p.m.
Thank you very much.
Yoko-sensei?
It was the first life that Yoko lost since she came to Japan.
It was Yoko-sensei's way of looking at things.
Uncle Shige, aka Nojima Kosuke
Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1955.
He was on the baseball team in junior high and high school,
and after graduation he wanted to become a chef...
Let's go.
What?
You're leaving?
It's only 8:00.
Time for more emergencies to handle.
Since his son came all this way...
A little more time, in honor of Shige-san....
That's not a doctor's job.
I don't care. Do what you want.
Toru.
Y-Yes!
Thank you very much.
His final words....
This is the only thing I can think of.
I wonder what it is about that person.
Is she candid or passionate?
Both candid and passionate.
Yeah.
She was really about equal lives, wasn't she?
She would never forgive inequality.
With those feelings, she'd probably cry over a murderer's death.
Crying.
Oh? Where's Yoko-sensei today?
It's Arai.
- Excuse me. - Hey wait!
Sorry.
Sir, may I have a word?
What is it?
Excuse me, she's a surgeon.
She wants to....
I'm your life savior.
Oh, I see. Well, that's...
Please be still. I'm happy you have recovered.
Thank you.
I'm a Japanese American, so excuse me for speaking in English.
I served in the military as a military doctor for 13 years,
and I'm currently working in a secondary emergency department in Japan.
Japan's medical insurance system is fantastic.
Both the poor and the rich have equal access to the same medical services.
Unlike in America,
there's no preferential treatment given to upper-class citizens.
Basically.
Yes.
My Number insurance card is fine,
but for people who don't have it...
Seriously left out.
Old people, poor people,
Foreigners, people who run away from home,
or live on the street.
Please don't exclude these types of people.
You don't have to imitate America in everything.
Japanese people should cherish life in the Japanese way.
Well understood, thank you.
I will let the Labor and Health Minister know.
Huh?
What?
Kawashima-sensei is the Vice Minister of Defense.
Is that so?
But as you say,
we don't have to follow America in everything.
I will keep this in mind.
Thank you very much.
Hmph.
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The most popular entertainment district in East Asia, where anyone can play safely.
What's wrong?
Toru.
Why the hell didn't you say anything?
Dad...
My brother told you guys to keep quiet, right?
I asked Hazuki-chan to check for me!
Military retirement certificate.
Proof of passing the U.S. National Examination.
This is the only qualification she has.
Thanks.
In short, she doesn't have a license.
