The Triumphant Return of General Rouge (ジェネラル・ルージュの凱旋)

Presented by TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System, Inc.) TOHO CO., LTD.

Patient here!

Over here.

Severe burn injury, Doctor.

OK, on three.

1, 2, 3!

Can you hear me?

Male in his 30s, upper body burns. Possible air passage, too.

Consciousness level 2.

Give me an 18-gauge PVC.

Patient!

Taking blood pressure!

Tell me what you get.

It's a store fire! Burn casualties are high!

More?

Smoke inhalation victim!

Over there.

Fire's at a department store!

Full body burn victim!

Put him here for now.

Tojo ER.

Female, 20s, fulI body burns? Yes, bring her.

Doctors! D.O.A.

Sorry, we're overbooked!

Wait in the hall.

What?

Tojo ER.

Female, 50s, chest injury, oral bleeding? Yes, we'll take her.

No, we won't!

We will.

Just say "No"!

Tojo ER.

Male, 30s, upper burns. Yes, bring him in.

We'll take them. We'll take them all.

The Triumphant General Rouge

Dr. Numata!

We've debated this issue 3 times already! Let it go!

There's nothing here about patient side effects or adverse events.

That's your mistake.

What patient?

This was research on autopsy imaging analysis.

The "patient" was dead!

As hospital GM, I'm saying...

you can't put a corpse in an MRI machine.

You were in the U. S., Mr. Mifune.

Post-mortem MRI is common practice!

Japanese patients are more sensitive.

Most would find it very creepy to enter a machine a corpse had passed through.

Don't you agree?

From an admnistrative standpoint, we can't condone it.

The hospital bears MRI fees.

Tojo University School of Medecine Ethics Committee

Quiet, please.

I object!

We solved the Batista murders this way!

Right, Chairperson?

Are you even Iistening to all this, Chairperson Taguchi?

Chairperson Taguchi, do you have an opinion?

We... I...

don't think it's my place.

Don't be silly.

After our director personally recommended you for this post?

I absolutely insist.

Yes, but...

I really have no idea.

Who needs you?!

That's how he talks to his mother, now that he's in colIege.

That's awful.

How's the numbness in your hand?

Oh, it comes and goes.

Then yesterday, he...

I can't eat bananas anymore.

Bananas?

Yeah, ever since my blood transfusion.

My girlfriend's really worried because I used to love bananas.

She thinks I may die.

I'm terrified that the scar from my operation wilI reopen.

I can see how you'd be worried.

I'm afraid to stick out my chest when walk.

Or bloat my stomach with a beer.

Or squeeze hard on the toilet.

I can't raise my voice at work.

Why don't you give it a try and puff out your chest?

Don't worry. This is a hospital.

Okay.

But don't blame me.

Take care.

Thanks! See ya!

Long day?

People send me their patients for every little thing now.

It's alot of extra work.

Ever since Batista, your stock has risen.

Don't say that.

You've got mail... Chairperson.

Stop it.

"Ethics Committee Chairperson"

"ER Chief Physician, Dr. Hayami..."

"has collusive relations with medical supply company, Medical Arts."

"Look into cardiac catheter purchases."

"ER Head Nurse Hanabusa is a co-conspirator."

Are you familiar with Dr. Hayami?

A little bit. From my intern days.

People call him "General."

He tends to make decisions unilaterally. That's earned him many enemies.

And some resent him becoming Chief Physician so young.

But we can't ignore this accusation.

Will you look into it?

Who?

Chairperson.

I...don't think I'm right for...

We're finally recovering from the Batista scandal.

Another one could destroy us.

Make sure this remains strictIy internal.

Well... then...

if all goes well, can I quit as Chairperson?

Two outs!

Medical Arts.

"...a collusive relationship..."'

Play ball!

Dr. Taguchi! Quick pose!

Beautiful!

Yamamoto, you stink!

Oh, you mean "General Rouge."

"Rouge"? I've never heard that before.

I have. It's the nickname ER staff gave Chief Hayami.

General Rouge.

What would "Rouge" stand for? Lipstick?

Cross-dresser?

Heard it comes from his getting soaked in blood during an operation.

He continued operating with a blood stained face.

So it means the "Bloody General."

Look. That's the "General 's" car.

Rouge.

Expensive wheels.

I heard he loves money.

Emergency Medical Care Center

This is going to prick a littIe.

Over here!

Easy now.

Can you hear me?

Male, 34. He's vomited a lot of blood.

Monitor!

Turn sideways.

Saturation.

Running ECG.

Vital signs?

80 over 40, puIse 130... respiration GCS 200.

Nurse Kisaragi.

JCS, not GCS.

Sorry.

Be accurate.

Give me 2 lines.

In place.

Take over.

Yes.

Condition?

I see.

What?

Female in an auto collision.

Multiple trauma, collapsed skulI.

Say no.

Yes.

Take her.

I thought he went home.

Bring her.

No!

All ICUs are full! No beds!

Move Mr. Akatsu in Bed 3 to the surgical ward.

Impossible! He's still in a coma from abdominal aortic surgery!

Half their nursing staff is in pre-op for organ surgery.

They can care for him.

Dean Kurosaki will have a fit.

The old man's in Vienna taking in an opera.

We're moving a patient to your ward.

So...

what brings an administrative head to this remote sector?

Your air ambulance request.

The "reactivation of which you've determined is not possible"...

"though it pains you to say so"

Precisely.

Wish I had a penny for every time I've heard that.

This hospital is operating in the red.

Helicopters that cost 2 trillion yen in annual upkeep alone...

are the last thing we need.

What's that heliport for, then?

Besides being a secret smoking area.

Smoking area?

Smoking is strictl y forbidden on hospital grounds.

This won't do.

What does this mean?

I don't know.

Explain this to me!

Problem?

Alcohol poisoning patient.

How can you charge this much for one night?

For one IV drip? That's ridicuIous!

Ah, but it says 2 days.

What? I was here one!

The new day begins at midnight. You were brought in at 11:55 p. m.

But that's 5 minutes!
