Doctor X 3 (Dokuta X Gekai・ Daimon Michiko / ドクターX　～外科医・大門未知子～)

Eric Paroissien Translation

Ron!

Serves you as a lesson.

You're too old to play like a kid.

Be reasonable.

Where's everybody? -Long gone.

Oh, no…

Too bad, I have such a good hand.

You gave up in the middle of the game.

Be reasonable. -You said that already.

Aye!

Pr. Daimon.

Yamamoto's preoperative results. -Thank you.

How about a scan? -Please.

Kimura's operations is delayed, the room is not free yet.

Hey!

Hey, look! Hey!

What?

You dropped this. -You think I own such "Kawai" Book?!

Excuse me, sorry.

Pr. Daimon your patient is admitted.

Look here.

What is it?

Can't be…

Once upon a time there was a lonely she-wolf.

Director Fujikawa? -Yes, just a while ago.

Is that so?

… The chess champion Yuzuhara is here?

I had him transferred.

I'll heal him thoroughly.

He'll participate in the Osaka competition next month. -Great.

I told him we had a team of virtuoso at the Medical Center.

You told him…

In 2014 the ivory tower is collapsing.

Medicine is neglecting its mission.

He remembers our 9am appointment? -Sure.

He's aware of it. -It's 9.

Nay, 9:01.

However as a part Of its growth strategy…

Japan is aggressively exporting The latest medical equipment.

I'm not hearing anything.

There's a fierce competition In the medical community.

What is it going be?

I'll wait… if you don't mind.

Don't wait! Bring the suture gear, quick -Alright.

Among them an independent freelancer…

A solitary she-wolf doctor appeared.

No sealing system yet? Hurry up. -Alright.

Pr. Daimon you're rushing us from one op to the next, slow down. -No time.

No time.

Wow… Pr.Ebina. -Good morning.

What are you doing here so early?

I have finished my thesis.

Case studies of recurrent rectal cancer.

Sorry. I have an important appointment.

We'll see that another day.

Aye. -Hahahaha… Dude.

Hahahaha… Dude.

A woman who hates the flock and their rules…

armed only with skill and will.

Surgeon Daimon Michiko

Alias Doctor-X

That would be…

The surgeon is Pr. Fujikawa.

It seems our director doesn't sleep at night.

He wants Pr. Tendo to read his thesis.

The fight is fierce with Pr. Fujikawa.

He's trying too hard, too pushy.

Master Yuzuhara is a superstar in the chess world.

I will operate his tumor to make sure he is fit…

to enter next month's competition in Osaka.

Fantastic! Master Yuzuhara's recovery will be on every media.

I'd say Fujikawa is more efficient than Ebina.

People from the West of Japan have more audacity.

Hey, someone dropped this.

Go to the lost & found office.

Let me operate this patient.

We were talking about audacity.

Our new patient.

Looks like the note book of a little school girl.

Doesn't belong to the nurses.

But, we're holding a meeting! -Sorry.

She probably communicates with her mother like this…

because she can't talk.

She has a tube in the throat, a tracheotomy I guess.

Wait. -Look here.

She writes, I hate wheezing.

She coughs and her breathing is painful.

Dizziness and chest pain.

Last week she fainted. -Pr. Daimon.

This child has pulmonary hypertension.

Absolutely right.

In addition she had a rare pulmonary vein occlusion.

Pulmonary vein occlusion…

Hey, Secretary! Bring her medical record.

Huh?

My predecessors… doctor… "Tango… sucker".

Pr. Dangozaka.

Yes he had her transferred. -Why?

See, a hypoxemia with heart failure…

caused by an incurable heart disease.

Definitely a hopeless case.

It would be a tragedy to kill her under your knife.

You've presented your case now you can…

No way.

I will operate her.

Be my guest, check her record.

In addition she has a heart hypertrophy.

Her treatment for pulmonary hypertension makes it even riskier.

No cure, no intervention possible.

There is…

Lung transplant.

Goodness, where did she get that?!

She'll be cured.

You're stating the obvious.

Where do you find a donor?

A donor compatible with an 8 years old girl.

Has to be a live transplant.

A live lung transplant on an 8-year-old…

You're a joke.

Pr. Fujikawa told you it's impossible.

Pr. Fujikawa could be wrong and I'd teach him a lesson.

But that's not my motive.

I just want to save this patient.

I don't give a dam about power struggles or hierarchy.

I'm outa here.

Really, you could heal my daughter, Chihiro?

Yes.

Maybe this note book caused my decision.

Somehow she'd lost it…

Chihiro, it was probably dropped.

We're glad it was found.

Your dad?

Soon after her birth, an accident.

Only a lung transplant.

The symptoms are slow but but they could worsen anytime.

We can't wait until we find a brain-dead donor.

Hot! -(Masakazu Tsutsui) At least 3 months.

She'll be dead by then.

There Mai.

Only 8, her lungs are so small.

You blow, it's hot.

Most donors' lungs wouldn't fit.

I'd try live partial transplant.

Part of a lung? From her mother?

She's 'A' Blood type the mother is B.

The father? -Died long ago.

Darn… -Seems we'll have to forget about family.

A lone mother, despite her struggling nothing works.

Alright, right after this we have a game.

What? -Mahjong.

Can you believe that surgery-addicted woman.

… Using that poor kid as her guinea pig.

Pr. Fujikawa. -(Fujikawa) Yes.

You published a number of papers on regenerative medicine.

They're all very impressive. -Thank you, sir.

But they're mere theory.

The level of preliminary research in Japan is one of the best in the world.

We excel in theoretical analysis.

But we lack advanced pioneering in procedure and clinical practice.

This is the reality of Japan's medical care.

Ha…

President.

You mean, if we added pioneering to our theoretical skills…

Japan would offer state-of-the-art medical care to the whole world.

If you get my drift.

You want to wait some more?

It's time to do my rounds…

He hasn't managed to see the president once.

Oh dear.

Our president is focusing on Pr. Fujikawa.

It happens to some…

however hard they try, their life is a long wait.

You see, guys…

You saw him?

"Everything comes to those who can wait".

Wait?

Waiting earnestly, without panic.

Meaning, a boat waits for a beautiful day to start its journey.

It's exactly as you say.

One waits, having faith in one's luck.

I don't think so.

It means, "Wait until a roast duck falls into your mouth".

Roast duck?

An image of someone waiting and gaping at the sky.

Hoping divine providence will feed him.

Luck won't bring you anything, set to work now.

So true.

You need to be good at waiting.

Hey, Hey, the president is here?

He just left.

Have a good day.

Pr. Fujikawa could be wrong and I'd teach him a lesson.

A relative, a donor for Chihiro-chan?

There's no one?

I casually asked once.

They were fighting about money.

There doesn't seem to be other family.

Maybe a debt…

I saw them by the public telephone.
