Prof Asuma starts the morning round
You don't need to beat about the bush
just say it direct
15 votes from lecturing professors will be in the hand of Okouchi
At most we can get 8 votes
Prof Nosaka nominated Prof Kasai because he did not like Zaizen
He would never vote for Zaizen
But Nosaka has only 2 votes
Please help
If lost by 1 or 2 votes, then all efforts would be a waste
Now the voting begins
I abstain
Abstain?
Apart from personal reasons, Kikukawa is the best in terms of knowledge and character
But I cannot abandon students from my hands
and vote for others
Quiet please
It's though unexpected..
please respect the decision of Prof Asuma...
..and vote fairly
Because of the incident, the time has been delayed
we now begin the voting
Please vote fairly and do not affected by sympathy or personal feelings
(2nd Surgical - Prof Imatsu)
(Gynecology -Prof Hayama)
(Plastic Surgery -Prof Nosaka)
so that we have the best successor for First Surgical Dept
Please do it like that
You are here
Waiting seems endless
I want to consult you about a patient
now?
The patient has esophageal cancer, I shall carry out the ultra-sound next week
He has a good chance of recovery, I hope you can take up the surgery
You are still as forcing as before
No matter you are professor or not...
I know
has nothing to do with patient. Isn't it?
I am the same
You are only a trustworthy surgeon in my eyes
Now the voting begins
How many cigarettes do you take each day?
No one will count such thing
My dear..
Please let me go, I am busy
Sorry, about 30 each day
It's esophageal cancer
It is phase two
I think surgery still helps
The patient is still young, it shouldn't be any problem
How many drinks do you take each day?
Drink as much as I can Please don't mess things up
Madam, please come here
Alright
Mr. Sasaki, are you allergic to food or drugs?
No
This is Dr Zaizen from Surgical Dept
Sit down please
Surgical?
We found something worrisome in your husband's esophagus
We hope he will undergo more test next week
Worrisome? where is the problem?
It would be confirmed only after the complete check up
Sit down please
Please tell me now, tell me!
Is it cancer?
Cannot rule out this possibility
Dr Zaizen, Prof Asuma....
What?
Excuse me
Sorry
Please
Prof Asuma abstains from voting
He said you and Kasai were his students that he was unable to choose
It's surprising
Prof Asuma is human too
Why say that?
Prof Asuma could not abandon you and vote for others
You are being cheated
You cannot see he is acting?
Acting?
He wanted me to fail completely and perform this self directed show
Kikukawa
Zaizen
Kikukawa
Zaizen
Kasai
Kikukawa
Kasai
Zaizen
Kikukawa
The Great White Tower - Chapter 9
The voting result...
Zaizen Goro 12 votes
Kikukawa 11 votes
Kasai 7
As the total votes is 30, no one get half of it..
..therefore the first 2 candidates will have to be voted again
The voting time will be 1 week later
same time same place
This battle for professor
is so fierce to be seen in the history
I hope you will not violate the rules and vote fairly
for the final voting
Is it like this?
I know
oh, thanks
How to take care of these?
Fool! these are used for celebration
Put it away, quick!
Not there! here!
Yes
Hey, you don't need to do like that
If seen by Dr Zaizen, it would not be good
Never mind
Good morning
Kansai is right, no need to do that
Can't imagine the final voting is necessary
Everybody loses the mood to work
How can the office be like that? Everyone does not want to work
Prof Asuma even did this to you
I would never forgive him
That's right, it means the betrayal of the whole office
Even he is professor, he cannot do that
How can he do that?
Don't talk anymore
I know you don't like the deeds of Prof Asuma
But we cannot win the battle by blaming
As a member of the medical office, what can I do?
Everybody calms down and think
Yes
Thanks
But...
Thanks for everyone for supporting me so much
Thanks
As a member of the Medical Office, what can one do?
Of course working
You surprise me
Why in this critical moment , you abandoned your vote?
Imatsu, if I did not abstain, what would you think the result would become?
What do you mean?
If I did not vote for Zaizen who followed me for so many years...
there would be many sympathy votes for him
Oh, that is because you want to shut Zaizen out completely
and therefore you took the risk
Sympathy votes became all votes of my touching speech, Imatsu
Though Kiku only got 11, less than originally expected
Zaizen can only get 12
that means the votes for Zaizen were thinned because of my abstain
Amazing
This is really a thoughtful act
Next will be the final voting
Next voting result will be lingering on this one or two votes
Now the target is the 7 votes under Nosaka
To get these votes will be smart
Can't imagine Kasai can get 7
These 7 votes will become the competing target
I have to make one more show
Another show?
Is it already done?
Don't under-estimate the votes under Nosaka
Can't imagine Nosaka's nominee, Kasai, can get 7 votes
At most 2, I think originally
Don't say those frustrating words
We expect 18 but only get 12
That means the influence of You and money is not enough
Pa, today's voting result was all because of one thing
That's because Prof Asuma's cunning act
Don't care about his acting
That means you have been played around by that Asuma
You cannot be professor anymore
When it comes to this, we have to..
Just give up the final voting
Forget it, forget it
Don't play anymore
Happened has been happened, it doesn't help just by feeling troubled
The battle hasn't been ended yet
Or, you want to give up?
If you give up now, you cannot get the fame you want
all money spent would be a waste
Oh man, you lost today
Goro is right, the battle hasn't ended
Should work harder
Sorry, I am too agitated just then
Zaizen Mataichi will be energized again
Charge forward, charge ahead
I would try harder and harder
We all know how you feel Then it would be great
We have to win this time
If we want to win, we have to focus the 7 votes under Nosaka
I believe Prof Ausuma is thinking them too
Money is not a concern
Only if we could win, 100 or 200 millions are still affordable
May be we just go straight to Okouchi's base to get some votes
Pa, we would be finished if you did that
Not everyone is the same as Prof Ugai and Prof Hayama
Many people do not know about relationship
I know
Zaizen matured a lot recently
Thanks
Everybody should try hard
Yana, would you take a leave and go to Kimsai tomorrow
What?
To ask Kikukawa to withdraw from the voting
It's not good, Tsukuda
It would be great to do that
If you want Dr Zaizen to win this battle
the best way is to ask Kikukawa to withdraw
But Yana alone may not be able to persuade him
Then I go with you
Give him some threatening calls
Write him some weird letters
I have thoughts of many ways
But time is limited
Wait, it is not fair to do this
Shut up, if Dr Zaizen lost
you and me probably would be transferred
This is a battle of life and death, don't just pretend to be righteous
I know, Office head, Tsukuda, let's do this
Good
Now we have to find out Kikukawa's schedule
Alright
Wait, Ansai
This is info for Dr Zaizen concerning that Esophageal cancer patient
Please give it to him before the next check up
I have to leave
Wait Bye
Excuse me
Let me take it to Dr Zaizen
You are Yanagihara, isn't it?
Already accustomed to the work?
Yes
No, still not very used to it
Oh
Don't worry, It would be impossible to match Dr Zaizen in surgical skills in 1-2 years
Thanks
Dr Satomi
Thanks
You leave first
Alright
Is it alright of not going home?
I am leaving
Doctors, please enjoy
Keiko
The more pressure...
the more strength I have
Enough? May be we stop here today
Don't waste the wine, come
Can't imagine Asuma uses such tricks
Then I have to beat him unreservedly
Winning does not depend on talents
but depends on who is dirty
to make other side hate you
that is what we call feud
Really?
Mama
Welcome, good evening
go to Kimsai? Yes
We would ask Kikukawa to withdraw
don't go, he would not withdraw because of you
If we tell him frankly that we will not accept him
If he cannot get the support of the Medical office
He can do nothing even he is the professor
Thanks for your thoughts, but I don't want to give you more troubles
Though your going to Kimsai is good for me, but I can’t let you do that
Doctor...
You have to be decisive now
Doctor, have you forgotten that already?
As a member of the medical office, what can one do?
This is our answer
Oh
If you mentioned that then I have nothing to say
Doctor
But remember
don't push too hard
I just don't know this thing has happened
Mr. deer is always crying
We have to enjoy to the full tonight
Are you Dr Kikukawa?
Yes
Sorry to disturb you so late
Don't worry, I am preparing for the seminar
As this happens, it would surely disturb your mood
But you don't need to worry
Everything happened today would be in my hands
you would surely win in next voting
don't worry, just wait for my good news
Is the surgery schedule fixed next week?
Sorry, still arranging
Today, Tsukuda and Ansai take leaves
Is it? it's the influenza season, everyone should be careful
Yes
Dr Zaizen
That patient referred by Dr Satomi has already in the exam room
Yes
I am leaving
Yana
Yes
you try to take care of this patient
What?
Surgical?
What is surgical?
Have you said that I am alright? Why find someone from surgical?
honey, just for the safety sake to make a thorough checkup
Why not just once?
I have to take care of my cafe
What are you doing? I have to take care of my business
resting like this, how can I pay for my employees?
Mr. Sasaki, I know you are worrying your work
but your health is important too
you don't need to say that, I know
Hey, get my clothes don't worry if you don't want the checkup
This is not police station nor prison
We cannot force you to do the checkup
You decide yourself
Hey, let the doctor to check on you
What is the result? Yes
It is rare
It doesn't seem to be T4 nor the remote type
Just let the surgical take care of it
May I..
Yana, you take care of the rest
Me?
Mr. Sasaki, now I explain the result to you
you have a tumor in the esophagus
It is malignant
This...
Esophagus cancer?
Honey
It seems scary when you hear it
but it can be removed by surgery as it is discovered early
Then he can be saved?
Dr Zaizen thought that the surgery would be fine
It is highly probable to be cured completely
Is the surgery taken care by that doctor?
Yes, what?
nothing
Dr Kikukawa, this is the info for next week's meeting
Thank you
Then?
You two take this special trip to look for me. What can I do for you?
Sorry for the intrusion
Next...Next week's
Let me go straight to the point
Dr Kikukawa, please withdraw from next voting
Withdraw? Yes
Please withdraw from the final voting
We respect your contribution and experience in cardiac surgery
But our First Dept of surgery requires the direction of Dr Zaizen
Wait
The decision on personnel should rest on Naniwa University
Sorry, it may seem funny
But Prof Asuma did not recommend Prof Zaizen but you
This only bases on his personal emotion
because Zaizen over shines Asuma
Then Prof Asuma asked you to come to his defense
Sorry for talking too much
For Dr Zaizen? Is that the goal you look for me?
Please come back. I have to go to class
Unless you agree to withdraw , otherwise we will not go back
We have prepared to resign that we come to you
I do not recommend myself to be Naniwa's professor
I am requested by others
As for whether I would be professor, it all rested on the final voting
Then would you agree to resign even if you won the voting?
Talk to me like this all of a sudden, it's absurd
You should understand I have controlled myself to the limit
Sorry
I...
have to say this..
If you were really get the professor post
our Medical office will not support you in any circumstances
That's right
This concerns your future as a scholar Please consider carefully
I am Osamu
Oh, is you
What is the matter?
I experienced your influence
Can't imagine Kasai could get 7 votes
Don't expect my 7 votes for Kikukawa
If we cannot vote for Kasai, these 7 votes would be blank
blank?
It is not like your style
Let's stop here or Dr Nosaka would misunderstand we are campaigning
Alright, let's go back to the main theme instead
Would you like to be the Director for Japanese Plastic surgery academy?
Because the Japanese Surgical Association Chairman requested me ....
to recommend a director for the academy
Someone from Zaizen's support group has already contacted us
But no one would do the losing business
If Prof Osamau recommends you as director..
..it would surely help your future
I am a one who cares more on academic advancement then other benefits
Yes... Yes...
I am back
He's back, just entering the door
Please ask him to the phone Alright, just a second
Pa, you are back I am back
Honey, it is a call from Prof Osamu
He seems to be angry Why angry?
Yes, I am Asuma, I am about to call you
What?
Someone from my medical office?
Your guest is here
Yes, coming
How are you?
Thank for coming, doctor
The surgery held me up a little. Please close the door
The surgery by you is for sure trouble free
Are you going to discuss the seminar?
Yes
We are preparing for the memorial seminar for the surgery
I hope you can be the speaker
What is the topic?
The topic is...
This...
This topic is quite difficult
Is it?
Please discuss with your partners...
...Those partners voting with your
I cannot accept
Then why you come?
We ask you out in this situation, what would you expect the topic is?
You should be very clear
Prof, Prof Nosaka
Please help us
My son-in-law, Goro is a good child
Please help him a bit
He would listen to you afterwards
Kikukawa wanted to withdraw
Sorry, that is my incompetence of controlling them
The medical office is not supporting you. Anyone would have this reaction after hearing this
I would investigate immediately and punish those involved
Can't let him withdraw
If he withdraws in this situation
we would lose all faces
Kiku should win
That is why I come straight from Osaka
What is the situation now, Saeko?
Time is running short, let's count the vote one by one
Alright
How about that Prof Nosaka?
As for Nosaka..
I have talked with him about the director for plastic surgery academy
Your negotiation is worrisome
Besides the director
may be we add another western subdivision head to him
Last year, I was also the Joint Association for surgeons
to select a person for this post would not be a problem
Next
How about the other 2 professors who follow Nosaka?
This...
I have asked Prof Nosaka to take care of them, therefore I did not contact them individually
you have a verbal promise?
Oh
You are too naive
Alright, let's decide on this two first
for Prof Kenji
Give him the Research Grant director for Dept of Health
For Prof Kawai
Let him be the Western Medication Commissioner
Pa
I am going to hospital
Pa, Pa don't be like that
Pa....
Pa...
I beg you, don't be like that
Please come in
Quick
Please sit
Let me take care the rest
Thank you
After registration, have a good rest tonight
Tomorrow you will have the pre-operative checkup
May I ask. how wide is the cut
In general, for esophagus operation, the cuts would be at throat, chest and abdomen
Don't be afraid
Why shouldn't I be afraid?
May I ask...
Sorry
Who?
Dr Zaizen, Prof Asuma is asking for you
I know
He will explain the rest to you
I am leaving
Please fill up this survey
Honey.... Yes?
What?
Nothing special, I sent my father over
Feeling unwell?
A little bit
That would be fine
Please take care
Why so funny?
My laugh makes you uneasy?
Yes
Sorry
May I ask you one thing?
Go ahead
Do you feel proud being a doctor?
Yes
I heard that you were the doctor in charge for Michiyo's father
Oh
my father-in-law had the terminal cancer, the discovery was too late
Michiyo should be very strong
having a doctor like you by her side
I don't know
Michiyo said that you and her father tried very hard
Sometimes trying hard may not bear fruits
I wish to length the life of the patient
Michiyo's father thought the same
We exhausted all methods of treatment to the end
But the result
is just adding more pain to him
Oh, is it like that?
Trying hard or not
I hesitate sometimes when meeting all these patients
But I would take it as the responsibility of a doctor
You have strength
Not really
I have to learn it from you
You are already very strong
Me?
Yes
I think you are a strong person
Dr Satomi
You should be busy, I am leaving
What is the matter?
Excuse me
I...
It may be appropriate to ask, is that Dr Zaizen reliable?
What?
I know he is famous
But he seems to be very busy, no time to check the details
Don’t worry
Dr Zaizen is a reliable surgeon
You mean I ask them to go?
I have not said that
But Tsukuda and Ansai went to threaten him to withdraw
is a fact, Zaizen
My job is to supervise the medical office
and I am in the opposite side of Kukukawa
It is impossible for me to do this
You may be right
You should not doing that dirty thing
But you have the support of the medical office and you don't even know this...
seems not convincing
To be honest, after knowing you have prejudice on me
The Medical office showed strong support for me
But they would not go to Kimsai and doing things like that
Why stir up the medical office
I don't want to see the conflict between you and Kasai
so I abstain from the voting
But the medical office doesn't seem to see things like that
They knew you intentionally to abstain to shut me out
What they thought so?
In order to have a fair vote that I abstain
Please explain this to the medical office
What are you saying?
I have explained it to them, they don't listen
Tsukuda and Ansai's going to Kimsai was out of my expectation
Please mind your words
I am an incumbent professor, why should I need to explain to them?
Sorry, I said something inappropriate
You don't need to apologize
To apologize to someone or to accept apology
is a strange behavior of human beings
you don't need to lower yourself to apologize
Let's sit down and talk
This attitude
What are you doing?
I just follow you words
