Good Doctor (Good Doctor Japan / Guddo Dokuta / グッド ドクター)

Excuse me, may I know who you are?

I'm Shindo Minato's dad.

But I think my dad hates me.

He always kicked and punched me.

Dr. Shindo is making rounds now.

Is there anything I can do for you?

I see.

Then please ask him to call this number.

Come in.

Excuse me.

What's the matter?

I have something to discuss with you regarding Dr. Shindo.

No problem.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

This is the blood test results. - Okay.

The blood sugar is a little high. Inject two units of insulin.

Okay.

Have we performed Takuya's urine test already?

Not yet.

That's his kidney post-surgery exam. Please do it soon.

Okay, I understand. - He's impressive.

After he started going on duty, he became much more confident.

He's gentle and handsome.

How about making him your potential groom?

What are you talking about?

I want to become your potential groom.

My looks are completely at par with him.

Hey, Shindo.

Should I lend you a mirror so you can see yourself?

Dr. Takayama is looking for you.

I heard Dr. Shindo's dad beat him up when he was little.

Even though Dr. Shindo really wants to see his dad,

I'm not sure if I should give him his contact number.

Dr. Seto.

Let's keep this a secret from Dr. Shindo first.

Pardon? - It will be fine.

Let me handle it.

All right. Thank you.

This is our department's resident doctor, Dr. Shindo.

I'm Tsutada from OB Gynecology. You're that legendary doctor.

I also heard about you, Dr. Tsutada.

You're a very outstanding doctor.

You save over 1,000 babies yearly.

After two failed marriages, you're totally focused on work.

Thank you for your compliment.

Dr. Tsutada, long time no see.

Gosh, Dr. Seto.

I haven't seen you for a while. You became so pretty.

There's no need to tell me those polite words.

Yes, they're polite words indeed.

There's a study that found 70 percent of Japanese women...

say polite words to maintain good interpersonal relationships.

What an interesting doctor.

Let's not talk about that first.

I have something to discuss with everyone today.

Next.

Let's have the joint discussion of OB Gynecology and Pediatric Surgery.

The patient's name is Mizuno Rika, 37 years old.

She's 37 weeks pregnant and currently under observation...

in the OB Gynecology ward.

This is where the problem lies.

Lymphangioma.

The baby has a huge lymphangioma in her neck.

That's right.

This might cause blockage in her trachea.

So I want to perform EXIT surgery.

EXIT?

First, OB Gynecology will perform a C-section...

to take the upper part of the baby's body out.

Afterward, Pediatric Surgery...

will perform tracheal intubation on the baby...

to keep the airways open then cut the cord and take her out.

Mrs. Mizuno suffers from peripartum cardiomyopathy...

after becoming pregnant.

We have to complete the surgery in 30 minutes.

Since the risk is so high,

do we really need to perform EXIT surgery for this patient?

if there's a huge amount of bleeding and we can't stop it,

there's a chance that both the mom and the baby might die.

Mrs. Mizuno knows that the risk is high.

But she still wants to perform surgery.

Instead of protecting ourselves,

we should prioritize the patient's wishes.

Dr. Takayama, which doctor do you choose to be your assistant?

Dr. Seto, please help me.

Yes.

And Shindo.

You're letting Shindo be your assistant?

Shindo has sufficient knowledge and excellent spatial control.

Shindo.

What should you do when you have difficulty intubating the baby?

Cut the tracheal tube immediately.

What if there is Intralymphatic hemorrhage?

Cut open the lymphangioma and perform drainage.

Shindo can surely help.

I understand.

Please perform the surgery well.

Yes. I'll surely save the baby and her mom.

This surgery is indeed very difficult.

Every second count.

We all have to focus and do our best.

Yes.

Yes.

Hi, I'm Dr. Seto from Pediatric Surgery.

I'm Shindo, Shindo Minato.

Nice to meet you.

That's so cute. Did you make that hat for the baby?

This is the only thing I can do for her.

Every time the baby kicks my stomach,

I think she's suffering.

Is she really that uncomfortable inside my stomach.

That's why she's also sick.

What are you talking about?

That's not the case at all.

But I also had a miscarriage with my first baby.

Sorry about that.

My friends all gave birth to healthy babies.

But I can't.

I'm so useless and I feel sorry towards the baby.

I persevered with three years of fertility treatments.

And finally got pregnant.

But still...

With surgery,

the baby's lymphangioma would surely be healed.

She'll become healthy again.

She can surely wear the hat you made.

When the baby moves in your stomach, that means she's healthy.

She must want to see her mom sooner.

Let's all do well on the surgery.

It's a difficult surgery, right?

Doctor, I want to ask you a favor.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

Please save this baby.

Mrs. Mizuno.

This child is very important to me.

What's going on?

Dr. Takayama wants Shindo to remember all these by tomorrow.

No way.

He can't remember all that, right?

He should have high expectations in asking you to be his assistant.

You have to do well.

Yes.

Can you handle it? - Yes.

"Surgery standard for the latest treatment...

in pediatric surgical diseases.

Fetal treatment. EXIT Surgery.

Using the laryngoscope, confirm if the trachea is blocked."

Are you Minato?

Hey, you didn't forget what I look like, right?

It would be good...

if you're not here!

Minato.

I miss you, Minato.

You've grown up to be an outstanding man.

Iyo, I want to ask you something.

Is there any restaurant you would recommend for a dinner for two?

Why are you suddenly asking that?

Are you going with someone you like?

Yes, that's right.

Who are you going with? - When are you going?

Tonight.

I was invited to dinner.

Isn't that a date then? You're so impressive.

Shindo is dating someone.

I'm so frustrated!

Who are you going with? - My dad.

My dad came to see me yesterday.

My dad said he has always wanted to see me.

What? It's your dad?

Dr. Shindo said...

that he's going to dinner with his dad tonight.

All right.

Are you okay?

To have dinner with just your dad?

Yes. I booked a popular three-star Michelin restaurant.

Excuse me.

May I ask who you are?

I'm her husband, Mizuno Satoru.

Well, why don't you go and see Ms. Rika?

She'll be really happy to see you.

Actually, I'm against performing EXIT surgery.

We fought because of this.

We don't really talk after that.

Why?

Why are you against performing the EXIT surgery?

If we don't perform surgery, the baby won't be able to breathe.

And the baby might die.

I heard that if we perform surgery on my wife's current condition,

it will increase the burden on her heart and endanger her life.

How can I agree to such a dangerous surgery?

I can understand how Mr. Mizuno feels.

However, all surgeries have risks.

Since Ms. Rika really wants to perform surgery,

we should all do our best.

Yes. I want to save the baby inside Ms. Rika as well.

It's time. I have to go.

Are you going to have dinner with your dad?

Yes. Contact me immediately if there's any problem with Ms. Rika.

Do you have time right now?

Welcome.
