Ah, it's Super Doctor!
Super Doctor!
So you're at this hospital, Dr. Matsudaira.
That's wonderful.
Why are you here?
Mom!
Look! It's Dr. Matsudaira!
I'm surprised.
You're working at this hospital?
Yes... I guess.
Terrific.
This is a miracle.
Huh?
Time has passed quickly.
It's been five years since then.
Yes.
She was 6 years old then.
Since the surgery, you have become a super doctor to Kana.
Ah, this is a referral from Meishin University Hospital.
Meishin University Hospital?
I have esophageal cancer.
It's rather advanced.
Meishin recommended that I come here.
But it's really wonderful that you're here, doctor.
If it's you, I can set my mind at ease and trust you with the surgery.
Doctor!
Ah...
This is Tama-chan. You gave it to me when I was hospitalized.
Doctor, please do mom the favor this time.
You must definitely cure her with your "godly hands."
They want that alcoholic to perform surgery!
I heard that he was called "super doctor."
What are you talking about?
That fellow hasn't held a scalpel in years,
since his medical malpractice.
According to sources, he was working for Seinan University Hospital until 3 years ago.
After that he came to Hokuyou.
Seinan?
If he's from the Gastroenterological Surgery Department over there...
It was the team that conducted the first successful live liver transplant surgery on a mother and child with incompatible blood types.
Live liver transplant?
That's the case, looking at the information.
That caused a considerable stir back then. I remember it too. [Forging Seinan University Hospital's Future]
To think he was a part of that team...
Former ace of gastroenterological surgery?
That patient has now come to see him. [Seinan's transplant team succeeds in mother-child live liver transplant. Both mother and child leave hospital in good health.]
Takami-san is the patient whom Matsudaira performed the parent-child live liver transplant on 5 years ago.
The patient became a donor,
giving her daughter a portion of her own liver.
Because of that, her liver became 50-60% smaller.
It'll be a difficult surgery.
Can it be seen from the X-ray and CT?
Yes.
It appears that Meishin used radiation therapy and medication to avoid the main issue.
In addition to esophageal cancer, her liver function will make this a tremendously difficult surgery.
Even if we can do the surgery, we can't tell if her liver will hold.
Meishin wouldn't take the risk, huh?
This patient, Takami-san,
seems to hope that you'll perform the surgery.
[Gastroenterological Surgery] [Takami Norie]
Takami-san's anesthesia plan has drawn to a close, hasn't it?
The preoperative examination indicated a decline in liver function due to post-transfusion hepatitis.
The surgery has been aborted here because of the high risk.
After Dr. Noguchi made that assessment, he recommended that she transfer to Hokuyou.
Entlassen. [Entlassen: Discharged patient.]
[Hokuyou]
Of course, Takami-san knows nothing about this.
This happens all the time.
It's impossible.
He hasn't held a scalpel in 3 years.
Furthermore, he's an alcoholic.
This is an extremely difficult surgery.
In addition, she's a post-liver transplant donor.
What will Dr. Matsudaira do?
Please. You must definitely cure her with your "godly hands."
If it's you, I can set my mind at ease and trust you with the surgery.
It seems that the heart transplant facility accreditation will be officially awarded next month.
The wait is over.
On my side, I have drawn up Eagle Partners' business plan and financing scheme.
[Financing Scheme]
Thank you.
After Hokuyou, a membership-based health checkup center will be set up with
an enrollment fee of 10 million yen.
Illnesses will be detected by the latest medical equipment
and members will all be sent to Meishin.
That may be the case,
but I discovered this article.
[Word of mouth discoveries! Hospitals you can really trust listed here!]
Are you really destroying Hokuyou?
[Hokuyou Hospital - No. 24]
Well, it's not a big deal because it's a minor magazine.
I will fix this.
Asada's tenacious, isn't he?
Whatever the case, we have no choice but to do the surgery.
When will it be conducted?
Wait a while.
Huh?
Change the type of radiation and medication a little more and observe her condition.
Change the radiation and medication? B...but!
Yes. Send my message.
Goodbye.
A miracle might happen.

Doctor!
Look! I secretly drew this the other day.
[Super Doctor] [Dr. Matsudaira]
My dream is to become an illustrator.
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks to you,
Kana is in her fifth year of elementary school.
Until that moment, she had undergone 3 surgeries,
but she didn't show any improvement.
I thought Kana's illness was my fault.
After Kana's birth, I soon found out about her illness.
Then she underwent numerous surgeries.
For a long time,
I wondered what bad things I had done to give birth to a child with such an illness.
You changed this.
To date, Kana-chan has endured 3 surgeries.
But I want this to be the last time a scalpel is put into her small body.
I will make this the last time.
We're counting on you.
This is for you.
Ah, Tama-chan.
This is a good luck charm.
A charm for your surgery.
If you have this, you'll have the courage to fight your illness.
Listen.
You're not the only one.
Your mother and I will also fight.
We will fight together with you, Kana-chan.
Okay.
Good.
At that time, there couldn't have been more compelling words than yours.
I was also saved by those words.
You created a miracle for us.
You're like a god to Kana and me.
Dr. Matsudaira,
I'm counting on you for the surgery.
No...
Umm...
For now, you will undergo the same radiation and medical treatment that you did at Meishin.
Huh?
Let's observe your condition a little longer.
But if you're conducting the surgery...
Please do not have excessive expectations of doctors.
Doctors...
are not gods.
We're talking to Meishin University Hospital's Professor Kitou, a leading figure in cutting-edge medical care.
This is the sixth successful live liver transplant since your team was established.
Surgical results are also improving dramatically.
At last, the way for heart transplants has been paved.
Naturally, if we become an accredited heart transplant facility,
Meishin will be reborn as a possible hospital for all transplants.
But...
that is not all.
What do you mean?
I cannot speak about the details,
but if this vision comes true,
we can say that humans will approach the realm of God.
- Surgery is necessary. - Yes.
But Matsudaira's only done radiation therapy for her.
Her life will be in danger, if surgery isn't done quickly.
You'll operate on her in my place?
Are you drunk?
Can the Cardiac Surgery Department stand in and operate on the Gastroenterological Surgery Department's patient?!
You...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Don't pick a quarrel just because you don't have the confidence to do the surgery.
Drunkard!
Are you afraid of yet another medical blunder?
Don't be frightened.
Please stop it!
Calm down please!
Dr. Matsudaira seems troubled.
Yes.
He's been blaming himself for the medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice?
What happened?
Three years ago, Dr. Matsudaira was driven out from Seinan University Hospital due to malpractice.
That's the case but
it's not what you think.
Huh?
What he did was doctor a dissertation.
He altered a dissertation submitted to an academic society.
His professor found out and it incurred his wrath.
The young Dr. Matsudaira strove to be a gastroenterological surgeon after a relative died of stomach cancer.
He used his moments of leisure to study and devoted all his time to clinical practice.
His made rapid progress in his skills
and also won the acknowledgment of his professor.
I heard that he racked up achievements in the live liver transplant and other surgeries.
But if a person attracts attention early on,
he'll probably be giddy with flattery.
Before he knew it, he was only choosing prominent medical cases.
His sight was turned towards his professor more than his patients.
Assistant professor? Me?
In the university hospital's intense rat race, the professorship dangled before him.
Gradually, he grew mentally strained.
To begin with, the current medical cases cannot demonstrate that.
He lost sight of himself.
Have a good evening.
[Mother-child live liver transplant for hereditary biliary atresia]
[Live liver transplants - 22 cases]
Unnoticed, he inflated the medical case numbers in the dissertation.
[Others - 6 cases]
The alterations were done on a daily basis.
[Total - 30 cases]
[Super Doctor] [Dr. Matsudaira]
It was not long before the matter was discovered, displeasing the professor.
This isn't a matter that can be resolved with your dismissal!
The medical department also couldn't make the matter public.
Thereafter, they kept him on the payroll.
And because he was kept on payroll,
he became a surgeon who specialized in "mop ups".
He was a surgeon who specialized in operating on those who had no chance of survival,
"sending off" a large number of patients.
He took to alcohol because of that?
Well, you have to drink or you won't be able to do it.
But what about the medical malpractice?
In the end, they used that as an excuse to kick him out of Seinan.
That's cruel.
That's right.
While operating on those patients who would only die!
Without realizing it,
I was no longer able to hold a scalpel!
Who would want a surgeon specializing in "mop ups" to operate on them?
That patient is still trying to fight.
She has hope
and is waiting for your surgery.
"Mop up?"
Who has decided it will be a failure?
As I thought, it's not suitable to eat ice cream at this time of the year.
Then why are you still eating?
You have a point.
That aside, I heard that the total construction cost for Meishin Medical City is 42 million yen.
That's a huge sum.
Meishin will team up with Kataoka's Eagle Partners, and earnings will come pouring in.
I see.
More importantly,
what did Dr. Kodaka say?
What does she think of me?
That... well I've told her what you said.
She said in a fluster that she would like to meet you anytime.
I can't be sure who the one in a fluster is.
Wow.
I got it!
You're kidding!
A miracle has happened...
Ah, Ijyuuin-kun!
Umm, today?
Yes. I'm off.
I have a date now.
Congratulations!
With Tomoki!
Goodbye.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Tomoki?
I'm Takehiko!
Doctor!
So you're happy in school?
Yes.
Hey, doctor.
Hmm?
Is mom's illness my fault?
Because I received mom's liver?
Is that why she got a lot worse and can't have surgery?
Why it's worsened to the point that even you can't do anything?
Although mom is waiting...
Kana-chan,
radiation therapy is now the best option for your mother.
If we continue this,
she'll eventually get better.
Really?
Yes.
I see.
Dr. Matsudaira!
Takami-san has vomited a large amount of blood!
Takami-san!
Can you hear me?
Takami-san!
- Prepare for blood transfusion. - Yes.
- 1,2,3. - Are you okay?
- Prepare anesthesia. - Yes.
SB tube.
Monitor attached.
- Suction. - Okay!
- Blood transfusion! Volume! - Yes!
She's in a state of shock due to the hemorrhaging.
The esophageal cancer has probably pierced the descending aorta.
Advanced oesophageal cancer protrudes into the adjacent descending aorta,
causing it to tear.
If this continues, she'll soon die of excessive blood loss.
It has to be repaired quickly.
Takami-san.
Takami-san!
Dr. Asada.
Pierced descending aorta due to esophageal cancer.
We'll isolate the descending aorta and stop the bleeding to secure the vision field.
Securing the vision field is a cardiac surgeons' area, like Asada and the rest.
The excision of the esophageal cancer, after that, will be done by you.
- But Dr. Matsudaira... - He'll come back.
This patient is his patient.
He'll certainly come back.
As long as he's still a doctor.
Kodaka-sama, would you like to order?
Not yet.
Certainly.
Now we'll perform surgery to repair the descending aorta pierced by esophageal cancer.
The surgery will involve left thoracotomy.
Anesthetist, can you perfor differential lung ventilation?
Huh?
What's wrong?
T... this...
This hospital doesn't have double-lumen endobronchial tubes ready for differential lung ventilation.
What?
What did you say?
That can't easily be arranged.
The usual tube can't be used for differential lung ventilation.
If differential lung ventilation can't be done,
the lungs will hinder surgery.
Then surgery will be impossible.
What if we call Dr. Kodaka?
Dr. Kodaka is not in.
Dr. Asada!
What shall we do?
There's no time!
Platform.
Yes.
- Fiber-optic endoscope. - Yes.
Arase.
This patient is my patient.
I owe this patient.
No, this patient's daughter.
You...
Focus on your work, youngster.
Can you do it with a normal tube?
Who are you talking to, 61kg?
The tube is progressing towards the right bronchial tube.
I see.
Differential lung ventilation typically uses two tubes with tips of varying lengths to make a double-lumen endobronchial tube,
providing artificial respiration to one of the lungs.
But Arase is only using one tube and making this possible by adjusting its position.
Okay.
This is fine.
Asada,
let's go.
- Scalpel. - Yes.
Cannulation.
Scalpel.
Isolate.
ACT 200.
Control pressure.
Surgical clamp.
Inject dilator.
Pressure 70.
Aorta clamp.
Volume.
Isolate.
Okay. You can start anytime.
- Scissors. - Yes.
Aortotomy. [Aortotomy: Incision of the aorta.]
The excision and bypass of the descending aorta will be over soon.
Matsudaira isn't here yet?
We'll apply a ligature to the pierced portion.
- 2-0 surgical suture. - Yes.
CATS. [CATS: Continuous Autotransfusion System]
- Retransfuse blood. - Yes.
[Start]
You created a miracle for us.
You're like a god to Kana and me.
Although mom is waiting...
Retransfusion started.
Matsudaira still isn't here yet?
I'll go and look for him.
No, I'll go.
Aortectomy. [Aortectomy: Excision of part of the aorta.]
- Forceps. - Yes.
Where's Matsudaira?
He isn't here yet.
The excision will be done soon.
There wasn't a miracle after all.
[Super Doctor]
Dr. Matsudaira.
I'll fight too.
Together with your mother.
Excision of the descending aorta completed.
It's my job from now on.
Surgical vision field secured.
I'll accompany you, boss.
Now we'll excise and rehabilitate the esophageal cancer.
- Forceps. - Yes.
- Electro-scalpel. - Yes.
Repair of the descending aorta, excision and reconstruction of the esophageal valve,
stretches across the fields of cardiology and gastroenterology.
This surgery requires speed.
Excision and lymph node dissection completed.
Continuing on, we'll excise the oral side of the esophagus.
Because of this, relatively experienced doctors from various fields are needed for superb coordination.
Oral side excised.
Now we'll do a synthetic vessel replacement surgery for the descending aorta.
- 4-0 surgical suture. - Yes.
- 24 mm straight graft. - Yes.
[Surgery in progress]
Reconstruction of descending aorta completed.
Everything has gone smoothly up to this point.
- Change the body position from lateral position to supine position. - Yes.
- Linear cutter. - Yes.
Excision of esophageal cancer completed.
What remains is just the reconstruction of the esophagus.
There's a tumor on the surface of the liver.
What did you say?
Metastasis?
If the esophageal cancer has spread to the liver, it's stage 4.
If it has pierced the aorta, the invasive depth of the tumor is T4.
A complete cure will be difficult.
The preoperative evaluation didn't mention this.
The associated lymph nodes don't have tumors.
Why the metastasis?
No.
This isn't metastasis,
there's a high probability of double cancer.
Double cancer?
The esophageal cancer didn't spread,
but another cancer developed in the liver?
Yes.
If that's the case, she can be saved if these are removed.
But if there's a slight mistake...
This can't be cut off without skill.
The cancer will relapse if it isn't removed from the liver that's already been reduced in size.
Moreover, liver function will be impaired if too many liver cells are removed.
What should we do?
We just have to do it.
According to plan, the tumor of the liver will be extracted after the esophagus is reconstructed.
- Linear cutter. - Yes.
Reconstruction of esophagus completed.
Next, we'll remove the liver tumor.
- Forceps. - Yes.
- Harmonic. - Yes.
Forceps.
Hey, blondie.
Do you believe that there are miracles?
Yes.
There are.
- Clover. - Yes.
Surgery to reconstruct esophagus and remove tumor of the liver completed.
Mom!
Your mother is sleeping because of the anesthesia.
She's all right.
All the bad parts were removed.
She can go home next month.
I knew you were a super doctor.
Ah! Golden-haired doctor.
This is a present in return.
You gave me a toy.
Your baby?
It has been born?
Yesterday.
Oh... Arase!
Congratulations!
- That's great. - Is it a boy or girl?
According to pathology results, your assessment that it was a double cancer was correct.
As may be expected of former ace of Seinan.
No.
I'm not an ace.
I'm just an ordinary doctor.
I was afraid to acknowledge that all along.
That's why I kept pushing myself,
and even did silly things.
But now I finally understand.
I'm an ordinary doctor.
Even so, there are things that a person like me can do.
If my compatriots are around.
Call me if anything happens.
This time, I'll rush over.
Okay.
So yet another patient sent from Meishin was saved?
Their reputation has risen yet again.
Is your plan really alright?
Of course.
Have you taken a look at the financing information I gave you the other day?
I've been busy.
It's still on my desk.
Thanks to you, companies that share my vision have been constantly approaching us with the offer of a loan.
It's overwhelmingly delightful.
What is going on?
- Didn't we say... - Choosing a partner that gives the greatest benefit to each other,
that's "win-win", Kataoka-san.
I heard that you did a surgery at Hokuyou?
My buddy wasn't in when I went to visit him.
So I went to take a look since I was already there.
Do you know what you've done?
You're a member of Team Kitou.
That side's interesting.
It's all a bunch of guys who don't know what they're doing.
Perhaps it suits me,
compared to this place.
Come in.
May I help you?
The surgery on Takami-san, whom you threw out, was a success.
And so?
I'm busy now.
State your business.
Noguchi!
You haven't changed since the old days.
How long do you intend on doing such things?
That leaves me with no choice.
I will destroy Meishin!
The reminiscent tone of the rain
I can hear every time I close my eyes
I didn’t notice until now
A flower blooming in the concrete
Everyone is naturally given one heart
Before I knew it, I forgot this, however,
The flower gave me
Encouragement and motivation
In my big and small chest
They will be active eternally
As long as I can hear your voice
I will not give up. I’ll be there,
I’ll be there
[Preview] Anesthetist's mistake.
He's half paralyzed.
That anesthetist is...
Is it really all right if you don't join that operation?
I'm not qualified to do it.
[Resignation letter]
The surgery is next Thursday.
The father hopes to do the surgery here.
His condition is that you be excluded from the surgery.
I will save Tomoki.
