Original subtitles

- I'll get going. - See you.

- Be careful. - Okay.

- I'll get going. - See you.

Yes, now.

I told you, my daughter has a stomachache.

Forget it.

Can't we leave yet?

Why are we still here?

There are no hospitals nearby that can accept pediatric patients.

How come? What should we do?

We are expanding the search area.

Please wait...

Miyu!

- Miyu! - Haven't you found one yet?

- Miyu. - Any hospital will do. Let's go!

A six-year-old girl with a stomachache.

Intense stomach pain started 30 minutes ago.

Six hospitals have already rejected her.

You'll be fine.

It'll be all right.

Doctor, I have a secret favour to ask you.

Can you tell my mom...

to cancel my surgery next week?

Mai.

I don't want my stomach to be cut open.

I'll bleed, right?

It will surely hurt, right?

It will be done while you're asleep. You'll be fine.

What will you do while I'm sleeping?

I don't need surgery.

We haven't had some quality time like this for a while.

Right.

What should we do later?

There's an art museum nearby. I want to go take a look.

I'll leave it to you.

I was the one who made the decision and performed the surgery.

I will take the responsibility.

You're such an ideal doctor.

What?

Not only did you complete such a risky surgery successfully,

you even protected your staff.

You are even studying during your self-reflection at home.

Let's go have lunch.

Okay.

At least don't think about work while eating.

Are they all wet?

Yes.

What do you mean yes?

Hey.

We brought the materials over.

Thank you.

I don't have any more energy.

I never thought we'd be so busy without Dr. Takayama.

Thanks to someone, we haven't eaten since morning.

Hey, what are you eating?

- Rice balls. - I know that!

It's all your fault we're so busy.

Never mind. You're wasting your time with him.

What should we do if the patients' conditions worsen during this time?

Nobody can replace Dr. Takayama, who is currently reflecting at home.

We have so many chores. We'll be here again all night.

- Nonomura. - Yes.

Organize this before lunch.

Before lunch? Okay.

- All right. - That's incredible.

Mai.

- Amazing. - That's incredible.

Take a look at this later.

(For Mai's Recovery)

Is that a broad bean?

It's a kidney. Look carefully.

It's a broad bean indeed.

Hey, stop talking nonsense.

It must have taken a while for her to draw this.

- What is it? - Let us see.

- What is it? - Show us.

It's a broad bean.

- It's broad bean. - It's so interesting.

I guess it does look like a broad bean.

- Yes. - There is a patient...

with strangulated intestinal obstruction in the ER!

Ichikawa Miyu, six years old.

We couldn't find a hospital that would accept her.

It has been four hours.

Four hours?

Okay. I'll be right there.

There is a strangulated intestinal obstruction patient in the ER.

Call Dr. Takayama.

What? But...

Call Dr. Mamiya.

All right.

Doctor!

Please save my daughter.

- Please. - Please.

We'll do our best.

Miyu.

- Miyu, can you hear me? - What's the situation?

Pulse, 150. Blood pressure, 80. Blood oxygen saturation, 85.

The intestines are necrotic due to strangulated intestinal obstruction.

Her breathing is unstable.

She might have aspiration pneumonia as a complication.

Septic shock? Give her two doses of antibiotics instead.

- Okay. - We need immediate surgery...

in this situation.

We have to remove the necrotic intestines.

Stop it. Dr. Takayama is not here. We can't do it.

We need to wait for Dr. Mamiya's instructions.

There is no time. If this goes on, she might have a cardiac arrest.

It's ventricular fibrillation!

Cardiac arrest. She'll have a cardiac arrest.

- Direct current. - Yes.

I'll cut it open.

- Move. - Inject adrenaline.

Yes.

Prepare for rapid infusion.

Yes.

That's great.

What is it?

What? I'll be right over.

- Miyu. - Don't perform surgery.

Transfer her to another hospital.

Miyu has septic shock.

If we don't operate now,

it'll be the same as just watching her die.

It's already too late based on her vital signs.

If the surgery is not successful and the patient dies,

the hospital's reputation will be affected.

Even so, I can't do nothing.

If you're not going to do it,

then I will.

How can you succeed...

with such a complicated surgery on your first time?

Enough. We're not performing surgery on her.

For a patient who would surely die,

you don't have to give up all the hard work you have done so far.

I don't want to become a cold doctor...

who ignores a suffering patient right in front of me.

I'll take...

all the responsibility.

Miyu.

It'll be all right, Miyu.

The operating room is ready.

Where is Dr. Mamiya?

Dr. Mamiya is not going to perform this surgery.

Then who is?

We have to save her.

We have to save her.

It'll be all right.

You can do it.

It'll be all right, Miyu.

I'll do it.

Take her to the operating room.

(Good Doctor: Episode 3)

(Ten missed calls. Pediatric surgery, Nonomura, Others)

This is Takayama. What happened?

There is a patient with strangulated intestinal obstruction.

She has septic shock and aspiration pneumonia complications.

She had a cardiac arrest.

Her vital signs recovered, so we are going to do an emergency surgery.

All right.

Is Dr. Mamiya doing the surgery?

No.

It's Dr. Seto.

I'll be right there.

Watch over her until then.

Hey, Seto.

Performing this surgery won't do you any good.

Calm down.

This is my last warning. Stop the surgery immediately.

Doctor.

Hey, Seto. Do you hear me?

Stop right now.

We'll remove the necrosis due to strangulated intestinal obstruction.

- Scalpel. - Yes.

- Tweezers. Gauze. - Yes.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Electrosurgical scalpel. - Yes.

Excuse me.

Please go to Togo Memorial Hospital.

- Retractor. - Yes.

There is adhesion between the small intestines and the mesentery.

Start separating the adhesion.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Mayo Dissecting Scissors. - Yes.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

Adhesion removed. Start removing the necrotic parts.

Yes.

Start removing the gauze.

There is a mesenteric aneurysm and it has already erupted.

Based on the situation,

we don't have time to handle a mesenteric aneurysm.

What should we do, Doctor?

Doctor.

Blocking the ends of the mesenteric artery can reduce the bleeding.

Suture it and stop the bleeding.

But the whole intestine might turn necrotic that way.

If you remove the suture every 10 minutes,

you can prevent necrosis, suture and stop the bleeding.

We can't give up.

Let's proceed.

- Vascular forceps. - Yes.

Start suturing the blood vessels to stop the bleeding.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Thread five. - Yes.

I'm sorry. Can you pick up the pace?

All right.

Suturing complete.

We can start removing the necrosis, right?

Start removing the necrosis.

- Yes. - Intestinal clamp.

Miyu is in danger!

Her vital signs didn't change.

Her electrocardiogram has some abnormalities.

- It's ventricular fibrillation! - How come?

Inject adrenaline.

Yes.

Prepare direct current.

Please make way.

- Preparation complete. - Fifty joules.

Yes.

Charging done.

Clear.

Please check her electrocardiogram.

No, it didn't recover.

- One hundred joules. - Yes.

Charging done.

Clear.

Please check her electrocardiogram.

Cardiac arrest.

Please.

Come back.

Please come back.

Come back.

Dr. Takayama.

Please.

Please come back.

Her pupils have dilated.

Doctor.

- She is already... - Shut up.

Enough. Stop.

Stop!

Doctor.

Is Miyu...

She is fine now, right?

We did everything we could.

But we couldn't save her.

How come?

Miyu!

No!

Are you kidding me?

You couldn't save her?

Then why did you perform the surgery?

What did you do?

You!

Do you call yourself a doctor?!

Sir, please calm down.

- Miyu! - We understand how you feel.

But when she came to our hospital,

she already has aspiration pneumonia and septic shock complications.

We already did our best.

You're so noisy! Shut up!

Miyu!

Miyu! No!

- Miyu! - You...

You killed Miyu, right? Hey!

- It's not like that, sir. - I won't forgive you.

You killed Miyu.

I won't forgive you.

(Death Certificate, Ichikawa Miyu)

What are you doing?

This is Miyu's shirt.

She can wear it in Heaven after I sew it up.

That kid is already dead. What you're doing is meaningless.

It's not meaningless.

This is for Miyu.

No!

You're just trying to comfort yourself.

Because you're a doctor who couldn't do anything.

I'm doing this for Miyu.

I'll give this to Miyu's parents after I'm done.

Listen carefully.

If you want to become a doctor, don't do these things.

Why?

No matter what you do,

parents who are suffering after losing their child suddenly...

will not receive any comfort.

No matter how much you regret it, you can't turn back time.

As a doctor, you have to try your best...

at that moment to save the patient's life.

Aside from that, there is nothing else you can do!

Even so,

I still want to give the shirt to Miyu.

I understand now.

You don't possess the self-awareness a doctor should have.

A person like you don't have rights to face life directly.

You're not allowed in the operating room ever again.

Miyu.

Miyu!

- Miyu! - Miyu!

Miyu.

Miyu.

Miyu.

Nakajima, please check next week's angiography.

- Okay. - Thank you.

- Nonomura. - Yes.

Don't forget Kenta's prescription after his discharge.

Yes.

I'm making rounds.

Thank you.

We are so unlucky.

If Dr. Takayama wasn't reflecting at home,

maybe that kid could be saved.

- Don't say that. - What?

It was already too late when Miyu went into surgery.

Nobody could have saved her.

I'm very sorry.

If I was there...

This is not anyone's fault.

This is the pediatric surgery department's current situation.

Everybody must feel anxious under these circumstances.

I've already asked the board to lift your punishment.

Thank you.

How is Dr. Seto?

She is back to work, as usual.

Regardless of the reason,

a life was gone in front of her eyes.

Many pediatric surgeons resign...

because they couldn't pick themselves up afterwards.

You have to support her.

You're all right.

Did something good happen?

Doctor, I can go for surgery now.

What?

Because my broad bean is bloated, right?

You read the picture book I drew for you.

I looked at it with Iyo.

I see.

Since there will only be a small scar on my stomach,

I'll do my best.

You're really amazing, Mai.

But I have a favour to ask of you.

Dr. Natsumi, you have to do the surgery for me.

What?

Because you're the person who knows my situation the best.

If it's you, I won't be scared.

The surgery will also go well for sure.

You'll make me better, right?

Doctor?

Yes.

That's right.

It was her first surgery and the patient died.

Will Dr. Natsumi be fine?

All right. Stop gossiping.

We just need to do our jobs well.

Have you already confirmed Rintaro's fluid output?

Sorry, not yet.

I see.

Where is Ryosuke's PH monitoring test results?

We gave it to Dr. Shindo.

I see. Thank you.

What are you doing? Scram!

He is your resident doctor, right?

How can he just do whatever he wants?

You have to teach him well.

I'm very sorry.

What were you doing there?

I was looking for things that Miyu might have left behind.

She is not here anymore.

She is in Heaven.

Enough.

Get back to work.

Dr. Seto, how do you go back to work as usual?

What?

I'm very sad.

Very, very sad.

Even if a doctor feels sad,

Miyu won't come back.

I couldn't do anything...

for that child.

You tried your best to save her.

- You did the right thing. - No!

It's meaningless since I wasn't able to save her!

It's meaningless.

She was just six years old.

She had a lot of happy things...

to experience in the future.

But she could only lie on that cold operating table...

and receive such an ending.

It's me.

I took Miyu away...

from her parents.

I'm sorry.

It's also my fault you're in pain.

(Togo Memorial Hospital)

We have been waiting for you.

Dr. Seto, something happened!

I'll get straight to the point.

The Ichikawas suspect that Miyu died during surgery...

due to medical malpractice.

We have already told you many times.

There were no mistakes.

- We did our best. - Is that...

really the case?

- What? - I heard...

that she didn't have any surgical experiences.

I don't think such a person could perform a surgery well.

It's not like that.

When we operated on your child,

her whole body was already affected by the intestinal necrosis.

Mr. Ichikawa, let's calm down and talk it out, okay?

Even now,

I still feel...

What?

That this...

may all be just a dream.

I feel that if I open my eyes,

I can hear Miyu's voice again.

Mom, help me comb my hair.

All right. Wait.

Mom, you haven't forgotten our deal, right?

Of course, I haven't.

I'm going to get my tenth sticker today.

Indeed.

All right. Done.

Thank you, Mom.

- I'll get going. - See you.

- Be careful. - Okay.

As usual,

she left the house happily.

But...

she has gone so suddenly.

Usually, she would immediately cry...

from having a small scratch.

She is a pampered child.

She is bad with pain.

She was in so much pain,

yet I couldn't do anything for her.

All the hospitals wouldn't accept her.

A scalpel was inserted...

into her small body.

What else can I do...

for that child?

Why are you going there?

I want to give this to them.

Don't go there.

If you go there now, it will only add fuel to the fire.

I can't turn a blind eye towards your recent behaviours.

Do you know how much trouble you caused to the people around you?

I'm very sorry.

Dr. Mamiya.

How would you take responsibility for all this?

I'm very sorry.

Regarding the responsibility...

Well...

Dr. Seto.

You ignored Dr. Mamiya's objections...

and insisted on performing the surgery, right?

Yes.

Since it is solely your own decision,

you have to take full responsibility.

The hospital can't protect you.

You'll be in charge of Ishiyama Mai's surgery...

in two days.

What?

What are you talking about?

You know my current situation, don't you?

The patient and her family would like you to perform the surgery.

Are you afraid because someone is suing you?

No.

If that is how you feel...

then you shouldn't have performed the surgery in the first place.

Then what should I have done?

Just watch her die?

What does that have to do with Ishiyama Mai's surgery?

If you can't perform the surgery,

then you have no reason to stay in pediatric surgery.

Quit immediately.

Hello.

I'm Shindo Minato from Togo Memorial Hospital.

Please contact my lawyer if you have something to say.

I'm Shindo Minato from Togo Memorial Hospital.

Why are you so persistent?

Go home now!

Your staff are causing you so much trouble.

Dr. Mamiya,

you should be more confident in your own potentials.

What?

The pediatric surgery department...

will soon be gone from this hospital.

When that happens,

what should you do in order to stay in the hospital?

Vice Chief, what exactly is your plan?

If you are willing to help me, I'll make it worthwhile for you.

(For Mai's Recovery)

Dear, he is still here.

Don't mind him.

Let the lawyer handle it.

(Sanchome Green Park)

(Ishiyama Mai's Condition)

Because you're the person who knows my situation the best.

Dr. Natsumi, you have to do the surgery for me.

Are you afraid because someone is suing you?

If you can't perform the surgery,

then you have no reason to stay in pediatric surgery.

A scalpel was inserted into her small body.

What else can I do for that child?

You!

Do you call yourself a doctor?

(Sanchome Green Park)

No matter how long you wait, we won't speak to you.

Please go home.

I'm here to give this to you.

You jerk!

What did you do?

I...

- I... - Are you kidding me?

Does it...

make you happy to rub salt on our wounds?

Don't come here anymore!

Are you crazy?

You went to their house, right?

- Yes. - What do you mean yes? You idiot!

You went to the house of someone who sued us.

Even if you have no common sense, how could you do that?

If you infuriate them further, how would we handle it?

I just returned Miyu's belongings to her house.

Is there anything wrong with that?

Geez! Step aside!

This is bad. Mr. Ichikawa is here.

What?

Looks like there are a lot of them.

What?

Children who are battling with their illnesses.

Miyu...

was our only daughter.

But here,

she was just one of the many patients, right?

That was how I felt...

when the hospitals wouldn't accept her.

But...

Dr. Shindo came...

just to give this to us.

(Radio Calisthenics Attendance Card)

Does it...

make you happy to rub salt on our wounds?

Don't come here anymore!

Dear, that's not it.

Were you...

the one who sew this up?

Yes.

(Radio Calisthenics Attendance Card)

Miyu held onto it tightly like an amulet.

(Miyu)

I thought it must be something really important to her.

Hey, you.

What are you doing? Hey!

A very important deal between her and her mom was written on it.

(10 stickers = eat watermelon with Mom)

Miyu also received a sticker that day.

She wanted to eat watermelons with her mom.

That's why she was collecting the stickers.

I'm going to get my tenth sticker today.

You're so great.

You tried hard to wake up early every day.

Miyu collected all ten stickers that you have agreed upon.

She is a very outstanding child.

She is hardworking.

Miyu.

You're amazing.

You did well.

My wife made this card...

so that Miyu, who likes to sleep in,

would wake up early.

My wife said...

that when she saw this card,

she felt...

as if Miyu came home.

Thank you for the food.

It's so good.

We won't ever recover from the sadness...

of losing our daughter.

But...

Dr. Shindo's efforts...

gave us some comfort.

And...

You too.

What?

Actually,

my wife and I both know...

that we shouldn't blame you.

But...

there was nothing else we could do.

Until the very end,

you...

insisted on saving our child.

That day,

only you,

Dr. Seto,

was willing to save our child.

Thank you for everything...

you have done for our daughter.

Mai, where do you want to go after you get discharged?

To the swimming pool.

The swimming pool is nice.

My broad bean will surely get better, right?

It will be fine, right?

Dr. Natsumi and your broad bean are friends.

She knows all about your broad bean. She is its best friend.

Don't worry.

Dr. Natsumi will surely make you better.

Yes, you're right.

Yes.

Please let me perform Mai's surgery.

It's at 2pm tomorrow afternoon.

(Pediatric Surgery Appointment) (Patient: Ishiyama Mai)

(Surgeon: Seto Natsumi) (Assistant: Takayama Seiji)

We will be using the Cohen procedure...

for the vesicoureteral reflux.

- Scalpel. - Yes.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Electrosurgical scalpel. - Yes.

Here.

This is my second most favourite food.

Mai's surgery went really well.

Thank you.

What?

For making Mai better.

I should be the one thanking you.

You fixed what Miyu treasured the most.

If another kid like Miyu...

is sent to our hospital again, would you do the same thing?

Would you do it even if they scold you?

Yes.

You're so cool.

I want to become a doctor like you too.

I hope they all grow into healthy adults.

Is it true that you prohibited Dr. Shindo from the operating rooms?

Yes.

Why to that extreme?

He can't become a doctor.

Why are you so negative when it comes to him?

Dr. Takayama, the way you're treating him isn't normal.

That's none of your business.

It's all right.

Masaya,

you just do whatever you want to do.

Regardless of what Dad says,

Brother will...

definitely support you.

(2008 Recruitment)

It'll be all right.

Even though the treatment is quite aggressive,

the effects will be immediate.

Bye.

(Marunouchi Central Bank)

What are you doing?

I'm talking to my brother in Heaven.

You really liked your brother, right?

I still like him now.

I love him.

I'm asking him...

to play loads with Miyu.

I won't ever, ever forget...

my brother...

and Miyu.

(Next Episode)

Who is this girl? Where did she come from?

I'll be your attending physician starting today.

My name is Shindo Minato. I'll be your attending physician starting today.

My name is Shindo Minato.

As expected of you, Dr. Mamiya.

I'm looking forward to your performance.

Where are you bringing her?

I won't let you transfer her to another hospital.

I won't give Akari to you.

Please trust him.

Let him do it.

You'll be that girl's attending physician.

It will be too late once something happens.

Dr. Shindo.

That doctor said he won't give Akari to me and even kicked me.

Thanks to him, the Chief can step down smoothly.

I'm really sorry, but he will be dismissed as a penalty.
