Gauze.
There you go.
Low blood pressure. Un-rythymatic heartbeat.
In a coma now.
Dr. Matsuoka.
Dr. Fujii.
How's it?
BP is 40, Pulse is 40.
How much blood?
400cc.
Adrenaline.
Yes.
Hurry.
Yes.
Penalty.
Many lawyers
are being penalized because they lose the evidence
as they deal with their clients' cases.
Be careful, Mr. Domoto.
I can't believe that you have not been caught.
Hello, it's the Law Department of Social Service.
Yes.
I’ve got it.
What are you up to there?
Huh ?
Kudou is looking for you.
Medical error?
Are you taking it?
Mrs Kawai Yuko. Age 48.
She turned a vegetable one week after
her operation to remove a tumor in the brain.
The relatives want to sue the hospital.
But...
I do want to help, but I have no time.
Kudou.
Why are you passing it to me?
For your own good.
Do you realize that what you did
in the past has caused losses to Emuza.
Yes.
You're not doing very well in Emuza now.
But once you win the case
you can have the reputation back.
A medical case is tough for a lawyer.
That's why
it have its value.
Yes.
Passion for justice Episode 8.
Why did you take it?
Kudou is trying to help you.
I just want to help Mrs. Kawai.
You haven't even seen her.
You've been cheated.
They pushed it to you.
It’s not good for the patient.
All the evidence is with the doctor.
It’s very tough even if you get it.
We lawyers have no medical knowledge.
By the way, there's only 30% of winning.
And it takes at least 2 years.
No lawyers want to take a case like this.
If no one takes it...
Why can't I make you understand?
That's why I call Sugimoto.
You can't rely a fool for such workload.
Lawyer.
Thanks for taking our case.
It’s ok.
How's everything, Madam?
As usual.
She hasn't talking and moving.
She's got some acnes over the past two days.
Why does this happen?
The doctor in charge, Kudou,
said this is not a tough operation.
So they think there must be some errors
during the operation.
I overheard the nurses talking.
Sorry to cause all the trouble.
Do take care of yourself.
Bye Bye.
Thank you.
Matsue is really lucky.
I thought it was serious.
You thought?
Yes. It’s getting worse.
Good thing that Dr. Fujiki.
Isn’t he operating Mrs. Kawai?
No one is thinking about changing the doctor in charge.
Meaning,
it's all because of Dr. Fujiki's
leaving half way in the operation.
Can they sue the hospital one this?
Anyone can sue them to the court.
But if you want to sue the hospital
on the doctor's error,
you must have the medical record.
No?
Without the medical record,
you can't tell what the situation is like.
How can we get the medical record?
There's one way.
Is there?
Yes.
Through the court order,
you can take pictures on the record.
This is really a waste of time.
The hospital won't let you have the medical record.
So you have to start with the procedures.
If they alter the record to avoid us,
we'll lose the case.
Thanks for helping.
Sure.
Sorry for the trouble.
Could l take some pictures on your wife's acnes?
What?
Poor Mother.
Please make it clear.
Rumors among the nurses
and situations prior and post operation
can't be taken as evidence.
Domoto. Camera.
Sure.
We have to make the judge agree with us.
Please help.
Lawyer.
Let me take the pictures.
Dad.
Sorry.
Huh, what is it?
You must be Mrs. Kawai Yuko's doctor.
Yes.
I want to talk to you one of these days.
On what?
About Mrs. Kawai.
I have nothing to talk to a lawyer.
I must make it clear.
A lawyer can't beat a doctor.
Let alone a lawyer who knows nothing about medicine.
The reason why Mrs Kawai became like this...
Lawyers win and lose,
so as doctors.
Some patients are saved,
some are not.
You're right.
Mr. Sugimoto.
Dr. Fujii.
We can't win you over medicine.
But our weapon is laws.
Even so nothing changes.
This is an annoying doctor.
That's why I have doctors and lawyers.
You hate lawyers too?
Let's talk about cases in our department.
Let's give it up.
It doesn't benefit us as volunteers.
But if this drags us on,
it'll become our beneficiary activity.
We have to build the imagine for our beneficiary work.
Right, and here's the newcomer.
Why not get more improvement from now on,
and instead of closing down the department,
we let the two quit.
Right. Good idea.
Kudou, what do you think?
Maybe,
but they have a big case with them now.
The medical incident.
The medical malpractice lawsuit?
That's not against our boss, is it?
No.
The hospital and our boss are opposition to each other.
It’s a good thing that people came to Emuza.
I see.
No.
There's not enough evidence.
How can you prove it a medical malpractice?
Like it says here,
there's not enough evidence.
We can't take this case. That's all.
Wait a minute.
I’m sorry if you don't think the document is not well done.
But please allow me to explain about the pictures.
This is the victim, Kawai Yuko.
Mrs. Kawai Yuko is now a vegetable.
She can't move and talk.
She might be so for the rest of her life.
Even then...
her husband and daughter have decided
to take this to the lawsuit.
They fear there may be medical malpractice.
Isn’t this our responsibility to find out the truth?
Please do help us.
Please.
I’m the person in charge, Satou.
What's wrong here?
We're trying to collect the evidence.
Please hand over all the medical records
on Mrs Kawai Yuko.
Why?
We're collecting evidence on a medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice? Who?
The lawyers in charge are Sugimoto and Domoto.
Please help us.
Dr. Fujii
he's our outstanding doctor from the other hospital.
How can he be wrong?
Nothing is certain yet.
We have to take pictures on the treatment records.
Sure.
Dr. Fujii.
Why do you look so upset?
Kawai Yuko's lawyers came for evidence just now.
They did?
Is there anything wrong?
The court will cover up for the hospital.
Cheer up!
A depressive doctor makes the patients anxious.
Yes.
Things will be fine, Matsuka.
Well done.
A surgeon has to use his knife more to become better.
Don't waste the chance.
Yes.
We took the pictures on the records.
But we have to wait for another week.
Let's do something while we wait.
Sure.
First of all, Dr. Fujiki left during the operation.
It happens that
the doctor leaves in an operation.
But tough to return.
Because it's a waste of time to do thorough disinfection again.
That's why your mother was left
unattended.
We'll want an answer from the hospital on this matter.
I’ve got it.
Sugimoto is going
to question the person in charge,
and see if Dr. Fujiki did leave to check on other patients.
Thanks for your help.
Nothing.
Miss Rina, you should just stay with your mother.
Thanks.
Who is it?
Sorry to disturb. I’m Sugimoto from Emuza.
I’m here to seek advice from you on
Dr. Fujiki from New Clinical Hospital.
Please have a drink.
Thank you.
Dr. Fujiki is really an excellent doctor.
An excellent doctor?
My kid was diagnosed with brain disease,
all no doctor could cure him.
Dr. Fujiki did, though.
I see.
May I ask...
what you would like to know about Dr. Fujiki?
I heard that your child's situation went worse
before he was discharged.
Yes.
That's when he was about to be discharged.
Was Dr. Fujiki the doctor in charge?
Of course.
What time did that happen?
Not long after meal.
About 2, I think.
How long did it take Dr. Fujiki?
About an hour.
May I know what the problem is?
Nothing.
You're here to check on Mrs. Kawai, huh?
There's nothing we can do.
What do you mean?
Lawyer.
Someone told us to leave just now.
They said it's the operating section here,
and the patient has to be moved out of here.
What can we do then?
There's no where else we can go.
We can't leave.
Huh ?
This is to limit us.
They want to force us to give up.
No!
Don't worry.
We'll think about it.
Sure, we'll talk to their lawyer.
Talk to them?
I’ve found the testimony
to prove Fujiki leaving during the operation.
We'll make them pay for it.
Sure.
They do want to deal with it as soon as possible.
If she has to be discharged,
medical charges from now onwards and
those before have to be settled.
I know.
I’m the lawyer, Kousaka.
Sorry for all the troubles.
The hospital has decided to settle this
with you with some compensation.
Please take the 300 thousand yen.
Only this?
Isn’t this too little for the medical malpractice
and as a compensation?
What do you mean medical malpractice?
Dr. Fujiki's leaving can't be a fault.
It just didn't meet the expectation so well.
Expectation.
Mrs. Kawai was expecting
an excellent Dr. Fujiki to operate on her,
so it didn't meet her expectation
as we changed the surgeon.
We don't need this money.
We want your apology.
There's no evidence.
We don't have to admit to anything.
But, Kousaka,
we can't take the compensation today.
We don't have to rush.
Please calm down and think about it.
What should I tell Mum?
Miss Rina.
I don't want to give up.
It’s too early to give up.
They will send in the records as
evidence tomorrow.
We can find their error from there.
We'll find out the truth on your mother's operation.
Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Fujiki.
Thanks for saving my son.
It’s ok. That's my job.
Thank you, Dr. Matsuka.
It’s ok.
Don't obligated.
It’s all facts.
You can never judge one by the looks.
I know.
Do you hate me, Kudou?
Reasons?
I can sense it.
Not a powerful one.
Right?
I trust it.
You can't rely on your senses.
Kudou,
since when you've become so dull?
What do you mean?
Just be a little honest.
What do you mean?
You throw the medical malpractice lawsuit
On us to save the department, huh?
You can to win back the reputation.
Is this how you thank us?
I’m the defendant.
I can't defend the patient.
But if you win, it's good for us.
I don't think it's bad.
And if the department goes down,
Sugimoto will return to court.
Ok.
Sorry to keep you.
Thank you.
Well...
isn't this Kudou?
And Sugimoto by the side.
They look as if they are in high morale.
Why did Sugimoto come into this department?
It happened 7 years ago.
Something happened?
Some defeats, probably.
Finish it up quick and go for meal!
Sure.
Comparing to AN, A3 is...
AN?
Headache.
Keep it up!
Thank you !
Please.
Thank you.
If necessary, we'll us the scan,
or get it filmed, or take the blood sample.
Don't get it.
Head injury in May 2008.
Look at this.
There's an X here.
Yeah, an X and an O.
This is the mark for the operation.
What do they mean?
No idea.
Let me ask a doctor.
Where can she find a doctor?
She doesn't even think.
Ah, Domoto.
She must have been busy.
Sugimoto is not really working.
I’m not selling my colleague down the river.
I’m Domoto from Emuza.
Please help is to prove it a medical malpractice.
I’m Domoto from Emuza.
Please help us to prove it a medical malpractice.
We can try to prove.
Really?
Really? Which hospital?
New Clinical.
Sorry, not New Clinical.
It’s the same type of body?
Body?
Congenital defects that cause the tumor.
Anything wrong?
A little fever since noon yesterday.
Right?
Lawyer, will we get the compensation
right after proving their error?
Mother is getting weaker.
She might not stay until the case is over.
What Mother needs now
is a thorough rehabilitation.
And time with family.
But our family...
has no money to send her to the rehabilitation center.
Why have things gone so bad?
I have to work harder.
I must earn more.
Miss Rina.
I have quitted
to take care of my mother.
My dad is getting old.
If I don't take care of them...
Never expect things to be like this.
I’m back.
Welcome home. You're very late.
Leaving at 4 tomorrow.
4. It’s 12 now.
I see.
What' attitude is that? Challenging me?
No.
How can you talk to your mother like that?
Stand up!
I’ll play with you, but I won't lose.
Good!
No?
Well, you want to grow old to 100 years old, huh?
What? What's with the tone?
Are you playing?
No way!
Stand up!
No!
I told you no!
Can't fall asleep!
You brushed my shoulders and never noticed me.
Is that right? Sorry.
What is it?
What?
Sugimoto.
Handling the medical malpractice lawsuit?
No.
Right. The hospital fouled their lawyer, huh?
Yes.
I’m looking for other hospital
different from New Clinical Hospital.
The Northern University Hospital!
Can you introduce me there?
Sure.
Really? Thanks.
It’s ok.
Sorry to disturb.
It’s ok.
Doctors are always making mistakes.
A small mistake causes life.
We can't stand as outsider not intervening it.
Well,
I think the medical records are...
What does it mean?
Clipping 6 X 7 0? Any record card?
There.
Hmm.
It’s to secure the brain with a thong,
and stop the blood flow.
An operation to stop the damage.
But since 6 clip
is used, damages are done. And there was bleeding.
For 6 times?
Yes. Too many times.
The brain is really weak.
So any small mistake can cause new hindrances.
O h !
''6 X 7 O'' means
Clipping failed for 6 times. And did it at the 7th time.
So the patient
brain injury is due to clipping failure.
Meaning...
It’s a mistake.
Is the doctor in charge a newcomer?
A newcomer?
It must be a young doctor.
A newcomer?
Wait, Domoto.
Domoto, it's Matsuka.
I’m with Fujiki.
Ok, let's get the evidence from Matsuka.
Got it.
Domoto.
Is that Dr. Matsuka?
This is Domoto, the lawyer.
Anything I can help?
I found the medical error.
You're the one who operated on Mrs. Kawai,
huh, Dr. Matsuka?
Domoto.
Ask me about things after that.
Right? You got so much information.
But we can't say that it's clipping that causes
the brain injury.
Blockage can be caused by
High BP, diabetes.
There are more than 15 reasons.
And?
Don't you get it?
If you want to prove that Clipping is the reason,
you have to prove to rule out other possibilities.
Can you do it? You're not a doctor.
Domoto.
It’s wrong
to meet the client On your Own.
Sorry.
I’ll look into the whole thing if it happens again.
What a fool, you !
I thought all we need is the testimony...
But you can't just meet them like that.
Do you want to be punished?
Can't lawyers beat doctors?
Not on medicine,
but we are lawyers.
We'll only have to get them into the laws.
How?
Gather all of them by law,
and like
the country allowing private documents,
write it down to advise them for mediation.
And this makes the testimony
for them.
Nothing to do with laws but you must meet officially.
But not a summon.
Just call upon all the related people.
What if they don't show up?
We can understand why don't turn it down.
If they act strange,
it means they admit their errors done.
I don't think the doctors will come.
And they will give the same testimony.
Then,
we'll just make the guy who don't show up to come.
It’s a waste of time.
Miss Rina has quitted her job
and her mother is getting weak.
And their living costs...
So?
Do you have other idea?
No.
We have to take the risk then.
The blockage is formed by the veins being...
It’s dangerous.
High blood pressure, smoking, heart diseases...
Mother is growing weak,
she might not last till the case is over.
Can you do it? You're not a doctor!
Lawyers can't beat doctors.
So?
Any other ideas?
The document is done.
Send it to New Clinical Hospital.
Yes.
Will Dr. Fujiki and Dr. Matsuka come?
No idea. Keep it in the prayers.
Hey!
Domoto.
I need a day-off.
Domoto, you'll be penalized if you meet them.
I know.
Do you?
I do.
Fool!
Are you going to do it?
I’m hurt. Could you please help?
How can you allow this?
I didn't. She did it herself.
It’s an excuse to treat the patient
on a day-off.
Even then...
This fool!
She's saving the victim
anyhow!
A life, a family!
She's different from you for not taking risks.
I’m confident.
Isn’t that good?
I’m a lawyer,
and people with trouble come to me.
I thought about it and help them.
But I have been thinking these days
if I am wrong.
I’m thinking if I have been
bringing myself all these troubles.
Isn’t it the same to a doctor?
Patients with sicknesses, are people with trouble.
Done. You may leave.
Doctor...
Why did you become a doctor?
Please leave.
Come again some other day.
Dr. Matsuka.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Madam Kawai Yuka's situation is caused by clipping failures
during the operation.
I was the doctor in charge, it's my fault.
Isn’t it because of Dr. Fujiki's leaving during the operation?
Summoned for Kubo Masaya's treatment, huh?
Dr. Fujiki left.
Masaya's situation is rare.
Dr. Fujiki was considering
if he should present the case to the bosses.
It’s always a doctor's dream to be hired by them.
So Dr. Fujiki who left half way
has no responsibility.
I was the doctor in charge.
Why are you protecting Fujiki?
I’m telling you the truth.
He's a genius.
Without Dr. Fujiki,
the whole field in Japan will slow down for 10 years.
Some operations can only be done by Dr. Fujiki.
Many patients are still lining up for him.
Without him,
other patients have no future.
That's all.
Dr. Matsuka.
I became a doctor to save lives.
Domoto.
You remind me of that.
Two days later,
New Clinical Hospital, admits their mistake,
and pays 80 million yen.
Kawai Yuko is sent to the rehabilitation centre.
Thank you, Dr. Fujiki.
Take care.
Dr. Matsuka has resigned.
Dr. Fujiki stays in the hospital.
But he refuses to be porched.
The case is a success.
How much is the compensation?
I heard it's 80 million.
Well done!
Hmm, The department should be closed.
But,
an appeal arrived at door.
The Tomita Daisuke incident 7 years ago
sues Sugimoto Tadashi and Emuza.
Sugimoto's defendant
is asked for compensation
of 1 billion yen.
The accuse is Suzuki Matsugumi.
The prosecutor Fuwa Kenichi.
Do you know this lawyer, Kudou?
No. I’ll go check it out.
Hmm.
Sugimoto, Kuramoto, come and see!
Miss Rina emailed.
Her mother's right hand is moving.
She's moving.
Great!
I’m Domoto, the new lawyer.
Just as I thought
it's happy working in this department,
something unbelievable happened.
