Infection (感染)

We're in transit with an unconscious male...

condition stable, mid-forties...

temperature 105, mental confusion.

No apparent injuries...

but has a black rash on the chest and arms.

Any available ER, please respond.

''lnfection''

Room five. He fell.

He broke his right ankle.

Don't tell me the obvious. l can see that.

Why did he fall? Whose fault was it?

He tried to get out of bed.

You must stay put. You can't walk yet.

l called out for help many times, but nobody came.

l thought l'd wet the bed.

l'm not avoiding you.

l'll send the cash next week, l promise.

Please understand, it's a tough time.

No, l'm not being cold.

l do love our daughter.

l think of her more than you.

There you are, Dr. Uozumi.

The boy with high fever is waiting to see you.

ls it my turn yet? l've been here forever.

l told you, please be patient.

ls it my turn yet?

My head is spinning.

Please respond. Male in his forties, pulse dropping...

temperature rising, rash spreading to his face.

He's in critical condition.

Thank you very much.

What the hell is going on?

They are late paying us again.

l spoke with them this morning.

And?

For Christ's sake, you're our representative.

You're being paid.

lt's for a nurse. Where are they?

Room six, bed two. lt's your patient.

Do l prioritize in or outpatients?

Both.

l get it.

Send them all to surgery.

The hospital makes a fortune, and we can finally get paid!

Sorry.

Please respond. His rash is spreading.

His fever is out of control. lt may affect his brain.

He needs immediate care.

Someone, please reply.

lt's too hot in here. What is going on?

The generator is malfunctioning and unstable.

Doctor...

We're running out of our supplies.

Blood bags, drips, syringes-- we only have a few of each left.

As for drugs...

Can't you order more?

Nine nurses have quit these past two weeks.

lt's clear that our operation is in trouble.

Everyone is avoiding us now.

Let's just do our best.

ls that your solution?

My nurses are working non-stop.

Because we're understaffed...

we put patients into shared rooms...

and we risk cross-infection.

lt needs to be discussed.

Keys to the drug cabinet, please.

You must force some patients home.

Who? Which ones?

For some of them that means--

l know...better than anyone.

Where does it hurt?

My chest--it really hurts.

Can you bear it?

Can't you help me?

lt's too late for surgery, huh?

Don't say that.

Be strong.

There's no hope.

No drugs can help me either.

No. lf we used stronger drugs...

we'd be risking your life.

l don't mind.

Please do it.

lf it will lessen the pain...

l don't care what the odds are.

Don't be like that.

Let's be strong together.

How long have you felt dizzy?

Maybe it's nothing...

but l don't remember.

When l woke up--

Woke up?

Speak straight and stop smiling.

l woke up face down.

Did you hit your head?

Why didn't we realize?

How long has he been here?

He didn't tell us.

Call Dr. Akiba now!

l'm so sorry. Now you're in a new room.

When you call us, we can come right away.

All right. Forget it.

l haven't taken care of the blood.

You're new. l shouldn't have asked you.

-l can do it. -Step aside.

Do you have any idea what you've done?

He's not your guinea pig.

lf he were conscious, you'd be in trouble.

Practice on yourself, if you must.

Come here.

Quickly, everyone.

Come here.

Come in, please. The rash has covered his whole body.

Respond immediately.

How is he? Concussion, right?

He walked here from the highway.

Cerebral ventricle hemorrhage...

sub-cranial hematoma...

no voluntary respiration.

lt's up to you.

l'll check on the outpatients.

Come here, everyone.

Grandpa, you, too.

l've made dinner.

Grandma, don't hide.

Let's eat, come on.

Hold out your hands.

Take her back to Dr. Nakazono in Neurology.

What are you doing?

Suturing this cut.

l can do it, a simple thing like that.

Simple? lt's a vital surgical skill!

But l'm a surgeon, too!

How dare you!

l know of your work--

a failed pediatrician who begged us for work.

Don't call yourself a surgeon.

Please let me do it.

l can do sutures.

Do you want to sew people up?

That's the extent of your ambition.

You don't deserve to practice.

Wake me up in three hours.

l'll take a nap in Room five.

l can do it.

lt's easy. l know l can.

''No longer accepting new patients.''

Any ER respond, please. The rash is spreading.

lt may be infectious.

Pulse dropping, high fever. lt's an emergency.

Please respond.

Male in his forties, rash spreading.

Central Hospital.

-We have an emergency patient. -Can't take him, sorry.

He needs a well-equipped hospital.

l understand, but--

He might be infectious.

Try somewhere else. We can't accept him.

Can you pick up the glasses?

Do you recognize this?

You do, don't you?

You're all there.

l'm sorry.

l should make dinner.

Not an unusual case.

lt happens as the brain atrophies.

You made dinner.

l'd love some.

She sees her long-dead family.

lt's a mystery why they appear there...

but the phenomenon itself is well-known.

Ever wonder how come red is always the same color?

ln the sunlight...

or beneath a lamp...

it looks the same, right?

That's proof that our brains are creating the color.

A lot of what we see is actually a product of our mental process.

lf brain circuitry is altered...

memories can begin to move again.

You can let her look at mirrors...

just don't let her have one.

lf it broke, it might upset her.

l understand.

She had cigarettes, you know.

Probably from another patient.

l'll be in at 7:00 a.m.

Working late?

Good-bye, then.

Every damn day.

l can do it.

Sutures are easy.

l'm a fine surgeon.

Who does he think he is?

Buying new equipment, but not hiring technicians...

leaving renovations half-done.

What's up with this hospital?

Don't tell anyone...

but l haven't heard from the director since yesterday.

We have no reason to stay here...
