Accident and incident.
We in the medical business use these words everyday.
When you say 'accident', these are medical mishaps that happen all throughout the field.
But when you say 'incident', either you knew something bad would happen, or something even worse happened instead.
One wrong move can lead to an accident. But incidents...
The fact is, these things happen everyday.
And patients have no idea.
Unfortunately, this area is a bit suspicious.
What?
However, we'll be sure to examine it thoroughly to clear any suspicion.
Any suspicion?
We'll have to insert a needle into your chest.
We'll examine the tumour's structure to see if it's malignant.
Let's do it just in case.
Now, everyone, we've handed copies of the patient's medical history to guide you.
Please try to diagnose the disease present in the pictured tissue.
That's all.
This year's study trip's got a brilliant vibe now that you're here, Zakki.
Do you hold these sessions every year?
This is our seventeenth one, now.
That's amazing!
These overnight study trips, I mean.
I'd been to neurology seminars while I was still studying,
but the atmosphere was always so bland!
Here's the deal.
We call this a 'study trip', but the truth is this is for recruitment.
You mean to get these students to be pathologists?
Thanks to you, Zakki, the typical image of a pathologist has been crushed entirely!
So sorry for that.
Y'know, for makin' pathologists look bad.
Dr. Kishi, you're here too?
No way...
I mean, you'll have a student partner, and fancy dinner, and you have to stay the night...
Didn't you say it'd be a hassle?
Some jerk made me go.
You brat.
How much do you think I've done for you?
You can listen to me this once, right?
I feel terrible...
Morii-kun...
How peaceful.
Like this I don't even want to go home.
Don't you think he'll be lonely without you, Morii-kun?
Nah, he'll be just fine with Dr. Miyazaki.
Thanks for that!
Leaving already?
Have fun without me.
All right.
How many students here are already majoring in pathology?
What do you think?
About twenty, maybe?
More like zero, honey.
Zero?
Then how can you possibly recruit--
You've got a good point there.
We've got a serious lack of pathologists in this world, Zakki.
The skin's discoloured, see?
Who thinks there's discolouration?
We do!
There's no way that's it!
Who thinks it's a malignant melanoma?
T/N: Cancer that develops in cells that give skin pigments.
We do!
It's discoloured, look!
Look, practically everyone's saying it's melanoma!
It's just discolouration!
But look how many we are over here!
How many you are doesn't matter!
Hey, punks.
Pretty fun time, yeah?
Like you're all here for a quiz bee.
Where's your proof for discolouration?
The liver's been dyed brown, it looks like...
And there were blood transfusions...
What else?
Nothing...
And those who diagnosed it as melanoma?
No, I...
The papers says they removed a mole,
and cells afflicted with melanoma take many forms...
And then?
If you don't have proof, don't diagnose.
You guys wanna play a game?
Play somewhere else.
We're just students!
That's why I'm telling you this now.
'cause kids who thinks quiz bees make doctors are idiots.
This disease here is called secondary hemochromatosis.
Proof: the patient's had massive blood transfusions.
The brown dye in the liver cells was also present in the Kupffer cells and in several macrophages.
If you delayed the diagnosis, this would spread to the other organs and lead to death.
Your fault.
And yours.
And you, too.
You all would've killed them.
And yeah, kiddo,
I'm talking murder.
Only the patient's allowed to cry.
What're you doing?
You don't have to repeat it that much, you brat!
You made the pretty girl cry!
And I wasn't even going full-force today.
Look what you did!
Did you come here to make students cry?
What about it?
I can't believe you!
I've been thinking more about hospital management.
And yes, we should really consider cutting the Pathology Department out.
But the problem is Professor Nakaguma, isn't it?
And if something terrible does end up happening...
We couldn't talk about it, either.
We'll put you under anaesthesia, now.
You'll feel a little pinch.
All right.
Take this.
You doing okay?
I am.
You can relax a bit here.
And go home, too.
You'll probably feel some pain, so we'll give you painkillers.
You're starting already?
Yes!
This is it.
Okay.
Nagumo-san?
Go ahead.
All right.
Are you all right?
We'll start it now.
Excuse me.
I'm from Gynaecology.
It's five samples, today.
Got it.
Excuse me!
What're you going in here for!?
The doctors are out, right?
That's why Dr. Kishi's gonna have my ass if he finds out you came!
Please don't, that's Dr. Kishi's most special place--!
What do you want?
Say, Morii-san...
You're cute when you're worried.
Good luck studying for your exams, okay?
I say as long as you're ladies,
you're all amazingly cute!
Isn't this great?
Right! Cheers!
Cheers!
So good...
Huh? Won't you eat, Dr. Kishi?
Hell no.
You can have it.
Can I really?
Then I won't hold back. That fried egg's mine!
Excuse me.
How's your hand?
My hand?
Yes, your hand.
My... hand.
Would it be okay to show me?
I... I guess so.
It's pretty normal.
I figured using formaldehyde so much might've made your hands this pitiful.
That's not true, right, Dr. Kishi?
Say, Zakki!
Let's go to the baths!
Yes, all right!
Excuse me!
subs by kurokouchi on livejournal i got possessive over the way kei's translated
Hi, we're back!
Welcome back.
I'm home.
Thanks a lot!
I'm beat.
How'd it go?
It was the fanciest study trip ever!
The food was yummy, and the hot spring was so relaxing...
Is that so?
Every minute you were there work piled up, too.
Dr. Kishi, this came from Gynaecology yesterday.
Look them over, please.
Hey, Morii-kun.
Yes?
Anything happen?
Eh?
While I was gone.
Please don't, that's Dr. Kishi's most special place--!
I don't think so, no.
That so.
Yeah.
According to Pathology,
you have an invasive ductal carcinoma.
T/N: Breast cancer that started in the milk ducts and spread outward.
Will you remove my breasts?
Based on the size of this tumour, we'll only have to perform reduction surgery on the lump in your breast tissue.
Let's plan your surgery out, okay?
Based on the diagnosis from Pathology, nothing bad resulted from your exam.
That's a relief...
I was so nervous, too...
Waiting for the results made me feel weird all over.
You can rest easy now.
Thank you.
Zakki!
Here's Dewa-kun from the study trip! She's interested too, looks like!
Are you for real!?
You could be our very first pathologist from that group!
I'll leave her with you.
Why, of course! I'd love to...
Kishi!
I'm counting on you!
Like hell I'd waste time on that.
I'm sorry about him. He's usually like this...
Excuse me!
Dr. Kishi,
please teach me everything!
Morii-kun?
Yes?
Can you re-do this slide?
You trapped air bubbles inside.
I'm sorry.
Morii-san never does anything like that...
I'll leave her to you.
Yep!
Dewa-san? Let's get along well, all right?
Yes, I hope so, too.
Please trust me for today's surgery.
Please...
Take care of me...
Nagumo-san?
I told you this before too, but...
We'll check the size of the lump during this operation.
This is so we can be sure you need reduction surgery.
Depending on the diagnosis here, the type of surgery we'll perform might change.
A minute more.
For specimen, Gynaecology put theirs in a bottle or bucket, and Gastroenterology use packs for strawberries.
Like for fruits?
Fifty seconds!
Right.
In a way the departments choose their own style, since there's no written rule.
Forty seconds.
Do you want lunch, too?
Yes!
Ten more seconds!
Oh, I'm really, really hungry!
Excuse us!
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
This is so good!
Time to eat!
Um...
I made a lot of food today, so please have some.
Wow, that looks great!
Huh? Did you make an omelette?
For you, Dr. Kishi.
I'm sorry, Dewa-san, Dr. Kishi probably won't eat it.
It's omelette and soba!
It's mine.
Why're you eating it?
You didn't even touch my fried egg!
It's 'cause it's ome-soba.
What do you mean?
I'm saying it's 'cause it's omelette and soba.
And I'm saying what does that even mean?
It's from Chief Yanigahara's breast cancer patient.
Please mark the stump with the yarn.
Morii-kun.
This was cut from the breast in surgery.
They have to check it immediately in case any changes in procedure have to be made.
The surgery's on hold until they're done.
I'm done!
What happened?
This...
Whose sample is this?
It's from Nagumo-san, in surgery.
The last time you consulted us,
you're sure I diagnosed her with an invasive ductal carcinoma?
Yes.
This tissue.
There's no trace of cancer.
What do you mean there's no cancer?
Precisely what I said.
Do you know how that happened?
We're operating because Pathology diagnosed cancer!
What do I tell her now?
Anything you want to say?
And if I don't explain it to her, what else do I do!?
According to this sample, whatever it is that girl in the operating room has isn't cancer.
You still haven't explained.
Pathology's diagnosis is this:
Mie Nagumo has no cancer whatsoever.
Now, to prevent any more stress on the patient, please return to the operating room and suture her up.
But you and I will have a long talk right after.
I always knew it'd happen someday.
So true.
It's really bad, though.
That's true.
What's up?
Pathology's diagnosis was wrong.
For Chief Yanigahara's girl.
I can't believe this!
This is bad.
Really bad.
This is Nagumo-san's sample.
This one was from the needle biopsy, and this one from surgery.
But how can cancer disappear between two samples from the same patient?
Dr. Kishi, maybe you failed--
I didn't.
No, listen, think long and hard--
I can't possibly be mistaken.
So explain this!
These two samples are...
from different people.
Different people?
I know without a doubt I saw Mie Nagumo's sample today.
But this needle biopsy sample came from someone else.
Whose sample is this, then?
Are you saying...
I took the sample wrong?
This isn't a joke!
What're you trying to say!?
You can do without the yelling.
That the specimen were mixed at all is a big problem!
We wounded Nagumo-san's perfectly healthy chest!
I can't even forgive myself for putting a single scratch on her, much more one that won't go away!
Morii-kun,
can you tell us what it was like when the samples came?
On that day...
It's five samples, today.
I received five samples from Gynaecology that day.
And you made slides from those samples, right?
Yes.
Excuse me!
Morii-kun?
Did something else come to mind?
Nothing.
So you have trouble remembering.
Are you suspecting me?
Dr. Kishi just said it isn't a failure on his part, so isn't it the lab tech?
Morii-kun does very good work in his job, though.
But if it's mistakes after receiving the specimen, it could only happen when making the sample.
I didn't get it wrong!
And how do you suppose we tell Nagumo-san this?
Pathology made a mistake, but we can't explain or apologise for anything.
I have to tell the president, too.
Of course!
Dr. Kishi, listen to me.
About what's happened here, don't you dare be selfish. Don't even think about it!
I'll count on you.
Now what?
I knew this'd happen someday.
Dr. Always Right must be sobbing.
He wouldn't take a bullet for anyone.
Serves him right, y'know?
Pathology screwed up!
They mixed samples up?
That's way too simple.
Pathology? No way...
Can't trust our Pathology Department.
Will Pathology be okay?
What the hell are they doing?
Doctor!
Is it true someone made a mistake?
Is this hospital really safe?
We're sorry to make you so nervous.
Here you go.
It's only a matter of time before this goes public.
Now tell us what it is you plan to do!
I'm really very sorry.
We should've removed Pathology.
Before any of this could have happened...
I'm sure the cancer's in remission.
We'll continue to meet the patient in the future.
Dr. Kishi, can you even be in a place like this?
It's your fault no-one trusts us any more.
The patients' anxieties are frustrating.
You're denying prostate cancer because protein levels are normal?
It's a very rough diagnosis.
If you have the time to criticise people in conferences, maybe you should fix your diagnoses instead.
I'm going ahead.
Dr. Kishi?
Do you think it's my fault, Dr. Kishi?
Why're you asking me?
What's the point?
Pathology's biggest goal is to give a diagnosis that's 100% true.
100%...
What's wrong?
This never happened before.
I mean, when I'd do my work alone.
But someone came in this time and things were different!
And that's why you messed up?
Is that it?
What else?
I can listen to a billion excuses.
And then,
"Morii-kun didn't make a mistake.
It was something else."
You want me to tell everyone that?
It's fine...
To tell them I messed up.
Because Dr. Kishi never makes a mistake.
It's always easier to blame the technician instead of the doctor, or chairman, or director.
I know that much.
And all your doctors just have some quiet agreement.
Maybe it'll be just fine if I quit this job to begin with!
Anything else on your mind?
Whatever happens here,
no matter what, I'm responsible.
Dr. Kishi, please wait!
I came here to ask for a favour.
The issue was a specimen mix-up.
But to be sure about the samples, could you perform one more needle biopsy on your patient?
I thought you'd say that.
But without permission from my bosses, I can't do anything.
So please don't tell me that now.
Giving another needle biopsy'll take a lot out of that girl and make a bigger issue.
The less a patient trusts you, the more pain you cause.
It isn't just you or me, now.
How many of us owe that poor girl an apology?
I need it to give an accurate diagnosis.
Before spouting nonsense about accuracy, don't you think there's something more important to do?
A girl without cancer just had her chest opened up.
And she hasn't heard one apology about the mistake that you made!
And now you just want people to listen to what you want?
Isn't that too convenient for you?
I'm deeply sorry.
Please...
Just to confirm my diagnosis one more time,
can't you do another exam?
I'm begging you.
All right.
I'll consult the director on how to explain this to the patient.
Dr. Kishi bowing his head for another person...
I never imagined that.
It's the first time I've seen it.
I sure wish I could've seen it.
What?
I'm kidding.
Anyway,
I never thought that boy'd bow down to anyone just for a diagnosis.
But doesn't bowing mean he's acknowledged he made a mistake?
But there isn't any evidence against Pathology to begin with.
You have a point there.
The thing is, there's nothing else in his mind but confirming that one, unclear diagnosis.
But...
Now that people think it's our department's fault,
what'll happen next?
I think...
Even I can't tell for sure.
I figured as much, you know.
Morii-san?
Why are you so sad?
Do you want me to comfort you?
You don't want to eat anything else?
I want an omelette!
An omelette?
Yep!
Let's get some, Zakki!
One omelette and rice.
One order? All right.
And you?
Um... gizzards.
One of that?
Thank you!
I wanted to eat Dewa-san's food!
I really thought you made omelette and rice, but it was soba!
I never expected you'd put soba into fried egg!
You never expected it...
I didn't!
What's wrong?
Could it be that...
I can't read this.
You understand what you wrote?
O.R.! Omelette an' rice, yo.
It don't make sense!
That's it!
I'm sorry?
We're currently investigating the circumstances regarding the accident.
We're looking for the cause,
and will fix it to prevent any mishaps like this in the future.
Our biggest wish is to provide medical care for our patients without them having to be burdened with worries like these.
We're very truly sorry for everything going on at this moment.
Our hospital's reputation is crumbling.
Less people come in, now.
That management will suffer as well is inevitable.
We've come to understand it was Pathology's mistake.
In any case, the survival rate of your department is slim.
Anything you want to say?
No.
You understand, right?
This is enough to get your department dissolved.
Well, even without needing this for convincing...
The decision of this hospital's higher-ups is final.
If you'll excuse me.
Excuse me!
Why're you here?
Excuse me.
We've identified the first sample.
Gynaecology uses bottles like these for their samples.
These bottles are labelled with the patient's information and then handed off to Pathology.
However, this bottle here...
Do you see?
Something was written under the label.
When they placed the sample here,
the patient's name was written on the bottle.
and we've come to understand that the label is placed on the bottle after.
Could it be that...
It was the wrong label?
Yes.
The label had a different name.
It's likely because what was on the bottle were shortcuts.
The shortcuts for Nagumo-san and Meguro-san's names look very alike, hence the mix-up.
And so for Pathology to make a proper diagnosis, we need a needle biopsy from Meguro-san.
Doctor?
I'm really very sorry.
Excuse me!
Morii-san!
So this...
Was Gynaecology's fault, right?
Be quiet!
I've made Meguro-san's sample.
This is my diagnosis.
It was our mistake.
I'm very, very sorry.
I apologise, too.
Please don't hate him. He's reflecting long and hard about it.
We're human, you know?
Not making a single mistake is impossible.
In fact, Dr. Chikada here is a promising young doctor.
I doubt a single mistake like this should ruin that reputation of his.
Right now...
I must've heard wrong, right?
You're saying "doctors make mistakes, it's nothing we can help"...
Is that what you said?
It really can't be helped.
No human being can never be wrong.
We learn from our mistakes to make sure they don't happen again.
That's important to know.
So mistakes can't be helped.
What a convenient little excuse.
And every time a mistake happens, it'll happen at the patient's expense--that's part of it, right?
The patient has no idea.
It's like they're playing Russian Roulette.
For doctors,
or anyone in the medical field,
even one mistake is unforgivable.
That's too ideallistic.
You're a doctor, too, so you must know that!
A doctor like you?
You, who've given up on being 100% right in your diagnoses?
I'm nothing like you or your people.
I'm sorry?
Don't get the wrong idea or anything.
Just 'cause your bosses'll clean up after your shit doesn't mean it's fine to make mistakes.
Know why?
'cause when you fuck up, you kill someone.
"So we can't help but let them die."
Don't give me that crap.
And that's why I promise this.
We from Pathology?
Only give a 100% success rate.
Thank you for taking me in!
What's this all of a sudden?
I...
I'm in love with you, Dr. Kishi!
Your accuracy in diagnoses is amazing!
That's why...
I can't do it.
I'm giving up.
I just, I can't...
Because the more I think about it, the more I think that you've married Pathology instead.
And I can never get between that!
Dr. Kishi...
I have to get over you.
I'm sorry to have bothered!
The hell was that?
What happened?
I don't think she cared about pathology at all.
Not one tiny bit.
That was one blunt confession.
I'm jealous, you know.
I could never say my own feelings like that.
What's on your mind, Morii-kun?
You wanted to ask me before, right?
If I thought that this whole thing was your fault.
And now that it isn't, do you want me to say it loud and clear?
We didn't break our 100% success reputation.
Want me to say that?
As far as doubting you goes...
Didn't you doubt yourself?
I don't know what you were thinking.
But I don't need people with doubts in here.
For as long as you're with me,
my words are absolute.
I'm quitting.
I...
I want to be a doctor.
