Doctor X 5 (Dokuta X Gekai・Daimon Michiko / ドクターX　～外科医・大門未知子～)

Yoo-hoo!

Ah! This feels wonderful!

The best hot spring in the country.

I'm so glad I came.

Huh?

Mixed bath?

Men's bath.

-Really? -Really.

Don't you just love riding local buses?

You're too close.

Sorry.

I drew a picture of you.

This is you.

-Me? -Yes.

It's a lousy drawing.

How much per month?

I'll pay you to be my lover.

I'll make you happy.

Impossible.

I said you're too close.

Get away from me.

Ow...

Move.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?!

Ambulance!

Cardiopulmonary arrest.

Help me lay him down.

Coming.

Who are you?

A surgeon passing by.

We can't wait.

Watch out!

There's an emergency patient.

Come on, breathe!

He's coming back.

There's a hospital below. I got a van for you.

It's you

from minutes ago.

What?

Dr. Daimon?

Remember me? Morimoto from Teito University Hospital 3.

Possible cardiac tamponade.

Where's the treatment room?

Over there.

Pericardial effusion. He needs surgery.

Surgery?

I'm the only doctor and there's no OR.

We can't operate.

He'll die without surgery.

We can do it here.

If something happens, I can't be responsible.

Subxiphoid approach. Prepare local anesthesia.

-Seriously? -Hurry.

When did university hospitals lose so much authority?

Nobody ever used to defy a professor.

Young people get turned off by stories of the past.

We, the Japan Doctors Club, have to change with the times.

I never thought I'd be operating here.

Stop making a fuss.

Your skills are still awesome. I'm impressed.

Have we met?

Pericardiotomy.

Lift the xiphoid process.

Yes, Doctor.

He needs another surgery ASAP.

Another one?

This was just emergency surgery, not definitive.

Nice job.

Who is she?

A freelance surgeon.

Freelance?

Part-timer?

This is the story of a lone wolf woman doctor.

SHIRETOKO

A year in Shiretoko.

Yesterday, a red fox was playing in our yard.

It was right there the other day.

We had a staring contest. I lost.

Honey!

I'm bored to death here.

Hanako...

I'm not going back to Tokyo.

The hospital's power struggle...

I'm sick and tired of it.

Pathetic.

Without money and power, you're worse than a cutlet.

"Oh, how I miss the high life!"

Worse than a cutlet? What does that mean?

Nothing.

On the cape

of Shiretoko...

When rugosa roses bloom...

Remember how it was...

For you and me...

Ebina?

It's been so long, Director Hiruma.

Ma'am.

Have you been transferred here as well?

Well, no...

Ebina...

You're back at Totei University Hospital?

Yes.

-You're back? -I am.

And you're here because...

I'm here...

to take you back there.

Wait. Hold on.

So this means

Totei University Main Hospital

wants me back?

-They need me? -Yes.

They want me?

-Yes sir. -I missed hearing that.

You bet I'll return.

Former Director Hiruma.

You needlessly purchased large quantities of surgical equipment.

You accepted huge bribes from the vendors for your personal gain.

Are these the facts?

Ebina.

Ebina.

Did you set me up?

Did you betray me?

Please answer the question.

Former Director Hiruma.

October 27, 2016.

You...

accepted this pouch

containing a box of sweets and $300,000.

We have a witness testimony.

There's no way $300,000 would fit in that small pouch.

Is that what you think?

-Hara. -Yes!

You too, Takashi Hara?

It's Mamoru.

Mamoru Hara. Sir!

What a farce. This is ridiculous.

I'm returning to the satellite hospital in Shiretoko.

Goodbye.

One moment.

I'm Shimura, the director of Totei University Hospital.

Dr. Hiruma.

Yes?

You have nowhere to return.

You've been relieved of your duties as the director of Shiretoko Hospital.

What?

Tell us exactly what happened.

When I was the director of Totei University Hospital

everything I did was

for the good of the hospital.

Nothing out of self interest.

Isn't that right, Ebina?

Stop making excuses.

To restore the hospital's honor and integrity

you must accept responsibility.

Responsibility?

What responsibility is that?

In 2017,

the once sacrosanct university medical system

finally collapsed.

Director Shimura will be making her rounds now.

University hospitals launched a reform to regain their integrity.

Eradicating the antiquated power structure

to promote medical practices that put the patients first.

I heard you went overseas to study

but didn't learn any new skills and got shunted off to the boonies.

-Director Shimura called me back. -Why?

Divine intervention.

Divine intervention?

Manifested by Dr. Daimon.

Demon...I don't want to hear that name.

Don't say it.

In the midst of reform, doctors free from any establishment emerged.

Freelance doctors, in other words, lone wolf doctors.

This woman, for example .

Despising the herd mentality, authority and institutional restraints...

Her solo weapons are her license and the skills she has acquired.

Surgeon Michiko Daimon.

Also known as Doctor-X.

Toxins that were crippling this hospital have been completely purged.

There is no longer a power structure that puts the institution first.

We must now achieve our integrity as a university hospital.

Teaching doctors, clinical and basic research,

and high-quality medical care.

We must fulfill these three important roles and put the patients first.

Let us be united in our efforts.

Clean is beautiful.

Stop it.

-I'm sorry. -He's hurt.

Daimon!

Dr. Daimon!

She's gorgeous. One of you doctor's mistress?

-No. -Absolutely not.

You snatcher.

Snatcher?

Wow...

Yeah, wow.

Where's my patient?

He needs another surgery ASAP.

I've instructed that he should
