Doctor X 5 (Dokuta X Gekai・Daimon Michiko / ドクターX　～外科医・大門未知子～)

When I've reached this level of operation,

Vice Director Surgery Department Inomata Takashi

I can feel my hands move by themselves. (LAUGHS)

I guess you guys have no idea what it feels like.

I call this a state where my consciousness entered the zone.

Freelance Anesthetic Jonouchi Hiromi

- (KUROKAWA SHINJI) Oh... - (INOMATA) Hey, Arima.

Oh, sorry.

- Tsk, tsk, tsk... - (ARIMA) Ah...

Ah, is it about this much? This much?

Blood pressure drops to 75 over 48. Add ringer's solution.

Dr. Jonouchi, OR 3 needs you there.

I can't leave this operation. I'll get there as soon as I can.

But, they need you now.

I only have this one body.

I had this sensation for the first time...

...about 10 years ago.

I was operating on a certain big name politician.

That operation was really exquisite.

It's like a blazing sun. It's blinding me.

- (ARIMA) Sorry. - Monopolar.

I'm concerned about the bleeding. Please check the surrounding area.

You're so nosy.

You're an anesthesiologist, not a surgeon.

Well, nobody else can feel this.

Only a top surgeon can have this sense.

I can't share this feeling with anybody else.

Oh, shut up! Stop your boasting!

- The operation goes so slow! - (DAIMON MICHIKO) And it's so bad.

How dare he say those stupid things to an anesthesiologist.

He's a pathetic guy.

This hospital is also to blame. We don't have enough people.

I have to do so many things in a surgery.

I'm going to operate as many as I can, though!

Here, Mi-chan, Hiromi-chan.

- Here's your gyoza. - (MICHIKO & HIROMI) Thanks for the food!

Mmm... Mmm...

Mmm! Mmm!

I can only provide this dumplings...

...to give energy for you two.

Freelance Surgeon Daimon Michiko

The gyoza in this place is the best.

It's delicious and fast!

But I hope your wife will recover from the surgery fast.

Chinese Food Restaurant Owner MUTSUURA YOSHIO

Well, it's not a big surgery, and you two will be there.

We're also delicious and fast.

Don't worry about it. Thank you.

Uncle, what's wrong?

Hm? Oh, I have an upset stomach.

Hmm...

Totei University Hospital Surgeon Nishiyama Naoyuki

Oh, are you alone, Dr. Nishiyama?

- Yeah. Why? - Well...

- Huh? - What?

- Why are you eating it? - What do you mean?

You've already eaten three pieces.

This is my fourth one.

What? I thought you said you don't want to eat more.

- Do you want to eat it? - Never mind. It's okay.

Your phone's ringing.

- Your phone... Your phone's ringing... - Yeah, yeah...

Hello.

You said I can go back to work right after the surgery.

Now my right leg is swollen and I cannot walk!

I'm very sorry.

It's a surgery that took a very long time.

Even my next simple election is in danger.

Vice Director Surgery Department Ebina Takashi

My supporters are counting on me!

Actually, there's a slight mistake from the anesthesiologist.

That's why your body has not recovered...

Wha? What are you talking about?

Here, Jonouchi. Apologize to Mr. Tamaki.

It's because you're operating so slowly.

You lowlife!

Our job is to save lives.

You have no excuse, even though you're only a part-timer.

I will consider letting her go later.

Yes, I agree. Please excuse me.

Kanbara Referral Agency Kanbara Akira

Akira-san, how is it?

Hiromi, you cannot go to Totei University for a while.

Damn! It's only because they're doing it so slowly!

They're being pressured by the big wigs.

Akira-san, isn't there any way to reverse this?

That patient is a big politician and he's fuzzy.

I'll try to put you in other hospital first. Wait a while.

I still have some savings for Mai, but I'm in trouble if I have no income.

Hey, Akira-san, will you reduce your commission for me?

- Commission? - Hiromi.

Is Dr. Jonouchi based on a commission system?

What do you mean, Akira-san? I'm on a fixed salary system.

No matter how many surgeries I did, I've got the same monthly salary.

What do you mean?

You never negotiated, Daimon.

I'm doing all surgeries by myself.

I always thought the pay is naturally so low.

You did the surgeries by yourself?

Oh, Ben Casey, did you call? Did your stomach hurt?

Come here. Here, here, kitty. Yes.

Every time you change the surgery procedure,

do you know how hard it is for the anesthesiologist?

You even ate my gyoza just now.

Why are you suddenly talking about gyoza?

Oh, it's because you're selfish.

- I only ate it because you left it! - What I'd like is...

- ...not to see you anymore. - Well, next time,

I'll eat what I like first without any concern!

Hey, hey, hey. How much is it?

What do you mean, how much? Ow! Let me go!

You're stupid! You're stupid!

Huh! I can't believe it! You're fired!

This is the story of a lone wolf female doctor.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I'll leave all the anesthesiology in my surgery to you.

Totei University Hospital Anesthesiologist Urita Shingo

- I'm counting on you, Uribo. - Gyoi.

Instead of that part time anesthesiologist,

you should've chosen me from the beginning.

There's no way a part-timer can make me fail in surgery.

A part-timer is indeed only a part-timer.

Right. A part-timer is only a part-timer.

In 2017...

...the university medical system regained its once-lost authority...

...and the system on which lives depend strayed away from what it should be.

Since we don't have our director here, he feels like the director himself.

Totei University Hospital Surgeon Hara Mamoru

Totei University Hospital Surgeon Morimoto Hikaru

Yeah, like a real director, not just a substitute.

In the midst of this, doctors free from any establishment emerged.

Freelance doctors, in other words, lone wolf doctors.

This woman, for example.

Despising the herd mentality, authority and institutional restraints...

Her solo weapons are her license and the skills she has acquired.

Surgeon Daimon Michiko.

Also known as Doctor-X.

Surgeon Daimon Michiko

I'm completely out from the next Surgery Head Department's candidacy.

Why are you sitting there?

Why?

Because, during Director Hiruma's absence, for sure I'm the Acting Director.

- For sure? - Yeah.

Director!

Hey, hey. Call me Acting Director.

Totei University Hospital Director's 1st Secretary Nakatani Keiko

Where is your promise?

Oh, is this it? The wallet you wanted.

- Yay! - But, before that,

- have you done your report to Director Hiruma? - (KEIKO) I did.

The hospital was in a pinch because of that part-time anesthesiologist,

but Dr. Inomata moved quickly and saved the hospital.

Good job! Good girl!

- (KEIKO) I love you! Yay! - (LAUGHS)

A man who stands head and shoulder above anyone else can excel in this world.

Is there anything, Dr. Ebina?

I wonder what can you do...

Huh?

Whaaat?

Excuse me.

- Oh, Mi-chan. - Uncle, you're here.

- Yeah, today I didn't open the restaurant. - Really?

What are you doing?

- Her medicine. - Huh.

I heard about it.

Hiromi-chan, Atsuko won't have her in surgery.

That's too bad.

That anesthesiologist got fired because she's selfish.

- Who's selfish now? - (CLICKS TONGUE)

Oh, you're fighting? That's rare.

She got upset of a gyoza!

Well, I still have to ask a favor.

I have to leave the hospital early and go home.

I know you're worrying over the restaurant.

You don't have to come here every day.

Don't overexert yourself.

Oh, I brought you some apples.

Yoshio's Wife Mutsuura Atsuko

Yeah.

- Well, just eat some, okay? - Okay.

- Thank you. - It's nothing.

Uh...

Just wait here. I'll peel it first.

- (MUTSUURA) Uh... Aah... - Uncle?

I'm all right, it's nothing...

Let me check on you, okay? Let's go.

IPMN.

The main pancreatic duct extends over its entire length.

There's a suspected malignancy in the pancreatic head.

Along with acute pancreatitis complication.

Can we remove it completely?

Even a small remaining tumor can spread and the patient may lose her life.

Malignant Tumor

What the heck...

A troublesome patient comes in when the Director is out.

Isn't Mutsuura's wife due for a surgery soon?

I'm sorry to hear about that couple. Hey, Dr. Daimon.

Dr. Inomata, could you? Come.

Regarding the patient's aftercare treatment.

There's a method I'd like you to introduce to the hospital.
