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

This is the first time I've been able to spend so much time with you.

There was an emergency surgery, so we couldn't go on honeymoon.

You're the wife of a doctor. Too bad.

Honey,

let's have lots of fun from now on.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you.

-What's this? -Here you are, Dr. Busujima.

You work on this boat?

My dad's a crew member. I'm a helper.

What's your name?

I'm Bob Farst.

Good boy.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Daimon.

Is something wrong?

I saw something terrible. I sense a bad omen.

-Oh no! -What's that?

NATIONAL ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE CENTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

I'm sorry, but I'll be leaving now.

Already?

You're in quite a rush.

At this time of the year, I have two or three dinners a day.

Goodbye. That was good beef.

President Kurobe has been in his position for two terms; 4 years.

Perhaps he'll be leaving soon.

Then who'll be the next president?

Totei of the east, and Seikyo of the west.

It'll be interesting to see which gains control of the hospital.

Indeed.

Indeed.

Hold on.

The National Advanced Medical Care Center that we are board members of,

is a hospital that Japan proudly created,

and it's a hospital that stands at the top of Japanese medical science.

East and west must work together

for advancements in medicine.

Or else, there is no future for Japanese medical science.

We, Totei University, have worked hard

for Japanese medical science

since it's one of our establishments.

If anything, the one that is obstructing progress, is Seikyo University.

Members of the Board,

I'm sorry I'm late.

Oh my.

I'm late just a little bit,

and you're already speaking ill about the west, Dr. Hachiya?

Hiruma, why are you here?

Why am I here?

You're the last person I want to hear that from.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Since I was kicked out of Totei University by you,

I was wondering what I should do.

But I got an offer to be the hospital director at Seikyo University Hospital.

I had them hire me.

I'm going to...

"sit down."

Anyway,

things won't be settled unless someone becomes the president

of the National Advanced Medical Care Center.

Seikyo University Hospital,

will be taking that position.

Since when do you speak like that?

For the board members,

I've brought some manju pastries from Osaka that I'm sure you're familiar with.

Here you are.

It's been a while since I had manju from Osaka.

They're really good.

Especially the filling.

-Shake it a little. -Hiruma!

Yes?

I'll not let things go as you want them to.

Never.

Dr. Hachiya.

Please address me as doctor.

It's quite rude of you to address me this way.

Honey.

Honey, where does it hurt?

Are you hurt?

I'm fine. Are you?

Is there a doctor here?

I'm a doctor.

Honey!

Doctor.

Somebody help.

Somebody.

Move.

Are you okay? I'm rolling you over.

Something's there.

I can take it out.

Defense in his upper right abdomen.

He's in shock.

Get an abdominal CT scan or echo exam at a hospital.

-Stretcher. -Yes.

Who are you?

Just a tourist passing by.

Honey, you'll be fine.

-Honey! -Help!

Let me see.

Follow my fingers.

You're fine.

I said it hurts.

Hurry up and treat me.

Bob. My son.

Is there no God?

Bob.

You're going to treat a crew member's kid over me?

Have you no shame?

We have lots of money.

Just put a bandage on it.

Cardiopulmonary arrest.

Tension pneumothorax.

Please.

Bob is my treasure.

I don't make mistakes.

This is the story of a maverick female doctor.

In 2014, medical establishments collapsed and became more corrupt.

Now, Dr. Dangozaka, director of the surgery department,

will be making his rounds in the west ward.

The field of medicine, dealing with people's lives,

had strayed away from what it should be.

Now, Dr. Ebina, director of the surgery department,

will be making his rounds in the east ward.

However, despite these conditions,

Japan announced to export advanced medical services

as a growth strategy.

The world of medicine entered another era following the law of jungle.

It's about time we settled things.

I would love to.

We got a very reliable backup.

I'm Hideki Kaji, the wizard of laparoscopy.

Prepare yourself.

Mr. Kaji.

How interesting.

So you'll be putting your wizardry to use?

I sure do hope that you'll get a chance.

What did you say?

Doctors who don't belong to any medical offices appeared.

Freelance doctors, in other words, maverick doctors.

For example, this woman.

She despises teams, authority and the restraints they bring.

Her license and the skills she has earned are her only weapons.

Surgeon Michiko Daimon,

also known as Doctor-X.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

We'll now begin this week's preoperative conference.

Mr. Ryunosuke Busujima, 70-year-old male, is the first case.

Mr. Busujima was the director of Teito Medical Univ. 3rd Hospital.

The diagnosis is a heart tumor. There is a 6cm tumor in the left atrium.

Dr. Busujima.

The attending doctor and surgeon have not been decided yet.

Let me add one thing from the secretariat.

Excuse me.

Dr. Busujima is a very important client

who contributed greatly to medical care in Japan.

Please make sure nothing goes wrong.

-Please let us handle this. -No.

He is from Totei University. He's a senior of ours.

-We'll handle it. -Wait.

Enough of the disgraceful dispute.

As to whether the east or west will handle it, let's hear your diagnoses,

and I will decide.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

That's how President Kurobe always does things.

He balances both east and west, and gets profits from both.

A hierarchy where money is abound.

Nice and easy to understand.

The former director of Teito University Hospital.

Quite a nice patient.

We didn't win the last surgery,

so we definitely want to get this one.

Such a huge heart tumor. I've never seen anything like it.

President Kurobe.

We, the west ward,

propose the Seikyo University method port access surgery.

With this method,

recovery after surgery is speedy, and the patient can be discharged within a week.

We, the east ward,

propose the method of Teito University Hospital, the surgical robot approach.

We'll use vivid 3-D imaging and Dr. Kaji's laparoscope technique,

and aim for discharge within three days after surgery.

I see.

Port access and a surgical robot.

It's hard to decide on one.

I don't care which it is.

Let me cut him. He's my patient.

-Daimon. -Demon.

Who are you?

A new nurse?

Which bar is she from?

I heard, "Let me cut him."

Cut him?

-Is that a bar in Tokyo? -I'm not sure.

Where are you going?

Dango the Bozo.

What?

Why are you here?

-Don't tell me Dr. Busujima called you. -That's not it.
