Becoming a Doctor at Age 37 (37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku ~Kenshui Junjo Monogatari~ / 37歳で医者になった僕〜研修医純情物語〜)

This is kinda awkward, isn't it?

- Is it? - You know, just the two of us.

But one or three won't do.

Yes, but I wasn't expecting you to ask me out.

You were the sixth person.

Konno Sensei, Shimoda Sensei,

none of my other male friends could make it.

"COUPLE DAY Super Sized Okonomiyaki 500 yen"

I tell you, I can eat this by myself.

Okay, let's eat.

- Sawamura Sensei, what's your plan after this? - I'm going home.

Uh... If you'd like, since I have my car, do you want to...

I gotta stop by somewhere. See you.

- Is he alright?! - Call the ambulance!!

Dear! Dear, hold on!

Excuse me, but are you in the medical field?

Pardon me?

"Doctor's Note"

Ah~ No, I'm not.

Excuse me, excuse me. Let me take a look.

Are you alright? Can you hear me?

- Is my husband...? - Please calm down.

I'll give him emergency treatment immediately.

Taniguchi Sensei, give me a hand!

- Uh.. um... - Hurry!!

I'm sorry. Excuse me!

Ow.

I think it's ventricular fibrillation. Get me an AED immediately.

- Yes. - Sir, do you know how to use an AED?

- Yes. - Good.

Wow, the picture's really clear.

Cameras on cell phones are really good nowadays.

Is this the time to be impressed by that?

You really did it this time, Taniguchi Sensei.

- What a disgrace. - I'm sorry.

I had no idea someone was recording a video.

That's not the point.

What shall we do, Nakajima Sensei?

Nakajima Sensei.

Associate Professor Nakajima.

"Associate Professor"

I don't think we need to be particularly concerned about.

Since Sawamura Sensei saved the patient.

I don't see a problem at all.

Sawamura Sensei. I mean, Sawamura Mizuki! Good job.

Thanks.

Taniguchi Sensei, don't get down on yourself too much.

It's okay if doctors can't give emergency treatment

as long as they can write good essays. Right?

- He's sure in a good mood. - Since he's an associate professor.

I'm sorry for causing trouble.

Hey, that was sure a stroke of bad luck.

Taniguchi Sensei, don't take it to heart.

He should take it to heart.

A doctor should be able to give emergency treatment.

I see. Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious.

Yes. Her colleague who called for her

also brought her to the hospital.

Are you really alright?

I just felt a little sick, that's all.

Well then, I'll take my leave now.

We're sorry for causing you

- a lot of trouble. - That's alright.

Katsuragi-san, take care.

Morishita Sensei, about her present condition...

I'll explain when her parents come in next time.

I want you to be there too.

Alright.

Suzu.

Dinner's ready.

I'm late already, but I want to go to work.

No. You're still feverish.

Take it easy. Yuta-san became a doctor

for Suzu's sake and he's working hard too.

Hey, don't be so down.

I'm not especially down or anything.

That's it. Why don't you

ask her out this time to return the favor for yesterday?

- I don't care about that anymore. - Stop moping around.

Isn't that why you haven't had a girlfriend for 25 years?

Listen...

As a doctor, I...

Taniguchi-chan's definitely not cut out to be a doctor, don't you think?

Did you see that video? What a dork.

Those guys...

I hear he doesn't have a very good reputation in the ward too.

He's not very competent.

He's the only one who's not gonna make it. For sure.

Hey.

What's this? Special cleaning tomorrow? What a pain.

It's the first time for us, but we hear it's quite bothersome.

Yeah, a bunch of workers come in and it gets really noisy.

And we have to step out of our room while they're cleaning so

we can't even go to sleep.

We'd like you to be in bed when we're making the rounds.

- And not wander around. - I was just getting some hot water.

I swear, everyone nags at me.

In the first place, you're not supposed to be eating that.

What's with your attitude!

- I'm done with your examination. - Hey!

What's going on, Kubota-san?

You see, I'm getting discharged tomorrow so...

He told him to work harder to improve his skills.

And he snapped.

Told me to mind my own business. Who the heck does he think he is.

Taniguchi Sensei.

Wait a minute. About what happened earlier...

Please leave me alone. You make me feel more pathetic.

I'm not an admirable person like you, Konno Sensei.

I'm not an admirable person.

Yes you are!

You became a doctor after the age of 30 for your fiancée,

and you do your job well.

You're not like me at all.

I think it's best to stay out of this.

This is his problem after all.

- They're taking a look at the cleaning area. - Sorry to bother you while you're working.

I'm sorry.

Please leave.

You're...

What's the matter?

Makoto, what are you doing?

Sorry.

Konno Sensei?

You're...

Konno Sensei, are you staying late today?

Huh?

If you're ready to go, I thought we might go for a drink.

That's fine with me.

Then with the regular members.

- Good night. - Hey~. Hey!

Didn't I tell you we're going drinking tonight?

I have some studying to do at home.

That idiot.

He's got a lot on his mind too.

I think he's feeling the pressure that he's being left behind.

The fact that he makes a lot of mistakes is due to his lack of effort.

Yeah, I've seen people like him before.

They become doctors even when they don't want to or

aren't suited to be one just because they're from a family of doctors.

Actually, he's pretty positive about it.

When we were in med school,

he used to say how he couldn't wait to show his dad up.

- Show him up? - His folks aren't

expecting much from him.

He's being told to get his doctoral degree

as soon as he's done with his residency here.

In other words, you don't have to be a good doctor,

just increase your value as an administrator, huh?

Wouldn't that be why he's envious?

Of someone like Konno Sensei who's free to do as you please.

- Konno Sensei? - Huh?

Weren't you listening to me at all?

What was that?

Looks like this guy here's acting strange too.

Uh...

Yes.

Do you know that guy who came to take a look at the cleaning area?

Ah. I knew him a long time ago.

Hi. I'll be going for a checkup with my parents tomorrow.

- Get a confirmation on this right away. - Got it.

I'm going to a meeting. You're in charge while I'm gone.

- Yes. - Oh, Konno Shunin.

What? I'm in a hurry.

Kurata Distribution Warehouse is on the phone for you.

What?

We cut ties with them 3 months ago, didn't we? What do they want now?

Tell them I'm out.

It's the son.

He said the president passed away.

And that's the plan for the day. Shichou, do you have anything?

There will be people coming in starting today to do the special cleaning.

General Medicine ward is scheduled for tomorrow so please be prepared.

This is darn good.

MRs these days have good taste.

They know exactly what I want.

What did you want to tell me?

So this is the main topic.

Simple folks like Nakajima Sensei are

easy to handle since their priority is things like what benefits them

- and promotions. - You're getting quite a reputation, Nakajima Sensei.

That's Associate Professor Nakajima.

I made him an associate professor simply for that reason.

I don't intend to break my promise with you.

I wanted you to know that.

It doesn't bother me. In any case,

I intend to give my full cooperation for the upcoming dean's race.

Kubota-san. Sawamura Sensei.

Ah~ You're getting discharged today, right?

- Please take care of yourself. - Thank you. Ah...

Uh...

Kubota-san was released.

- Is that right. - He asked me to give you a message.

He said he's sorry for what he said yesterday.

Shouldn't you go see him off?

Looking at it from a patient's point of view,

they had to bear with us trainees.

I don't think it's necessary for doctors and patients to buddy up.

Sawamura Sensei,

aren't you letting Konno Sensei influence you too much?
