Karte 2: The Abandoned Patient

Asada Ryutaro, Fujiyoshi Keisuke, Ijyuuin Noboru, Arase Monji, Satohara Miki ... these former Team Dragon members were reunited by the owner of Hokuyou Hospital, Kataoka Kazumi.

A board member of a foreign investment company, Kataoka had made a loan to the financially beleaguered Hokuyou Hospital and assumed authority for the business when it fell behind in its repayment. She then forged a business alliance with Meishin Medical University Hospital. Outstanding doctors will be sent to Meishin; Hokuyou will in turn accept mediocre doctors and unprofitable patients from Meishin, becoming its dumping ground. Eventually, Kataoka intends to sacrifice Hokuyou hospital and specialise in medical checkups for the wealthy.

Her plan conforms with Professor Noguchi's vision to establish Meishin Medical City, a large-scale hospital led by a recognised heart transplant facility, three years later. These bind the two of them together.

Professor Noguchi speaks to Asada about his vision of a medical city. Asada's "hands of God" are essential to this vision. However, Asada directly opposes Professor Noguchi's notion to make hospital management the top priority. He makes it known to Professor Noguchi that the heart transplants he had learnt in America was for the sake of patients, and the objective of his return to Japan is to build his own team once again. Hearing this, Professor Noguchi pledges his support and full cooperation but also coldly tells Asada that he won't forgive him if he hinders his vision.

One day, an old patient by the name of Nishizawa Takafumi is escorted to Meishin by his grandson Eita. At the information desk, Nishizawa tells the attendant nurse of his heart disorder but she bluntly says that his examination results won't change no matter how many times he comes to the hospital. Eita angrily tells her that his grandfather had had an operation at Meishin years ago but a physician says Meishin is going to be a specialist hospital and tells Nishizawa to go to Hokuyou Hospital instead. Witnessing this, Kihara Takehiko pronounces Nishizawa a "claimer" to Ijyuuin.

At that moment, Zenda Hideki, the director of Hokuyou Hospital is visiting Professor Noguchi in his room. He criticises the vision to transform Meishin into a medical city for the wealthy. Professor Noguchi points out to Zenda that his hospital was bankrupted because he strove for community healthcare.

In the evening, Professor Noguchi announces the establishment of the medical city to the media. However, Asada is absent from the company of professors present at the press conference. When they enter the Q&A session, a boy pushes through the media gathered there and approaches Professor Noguchi. It is Eita. He hurls a bucket of red paint he is carrying at the artist impression of the medical city. The press conference is thrown into a commotion. Only Fujiyoshi gazes calmly at Eita.

The next day, Ijyuuin and Kihara talk about Eita. Kihara tells Ijyuuin that Nishizawa had undergone a mitral valve replacement operation eight years ago. Kihara doesn't think slight arrhythmia is abnormal given Nishizawa's old age. As he says this, the two of them see Nishizawa and Eita walking with Fujiyoshi.

Kataoka has come to ask Professor Noguchi about the medical staff being transferred to Hokuyou. Kataoka, who has seen Professor Noguchi's list, notes the absence of Asada's name. She tells Professor Noguchi that Asada will be a double edged sword for his vision. Professor Noguchi says that even if Asada poses a risk, his skills are indispensable. Kataoka counters by posing him the question: "What if there's a more distinguished doctor than Asada?" She leaves the room and a medical staff rushes in. Professor Noguchi's face colour changes when he hears the staff's words.

Ijyuuin advises Fujiyoshi, who has just finished examining Nishizawa, against trying Professor Noguchi's patience. He calls Nishizawa a "claimer" and this prompts Fujiyoshi to ask him if he has personally examined Nishizawa. Ijyuuin is unable to reply. Fujiyoshi lets him see the patient's medical record. It shows that Nishizawa has a serious medical illness.

Asada decides that another operation is necessary after a thorough examination of Nishizawa. Professor Noguchi intercepts Asada, Fujiyoshi and Ijyuuin as they are about to handle Nishizawa's admission procedure. Professor Noguchi gives Asada a final warning. Even so, Asada remains defiant ... and his transfer to Hokuyou is ordered. Fujiyoshi and Ijyuuin also receive the same punishment for going ahead with Nishizawa's medical examination. There's another side to Professor Noguchi's move to cut Asada off: Kataoka has arranged for a doctor to replace Asada ... ...

Other doctors as well as Asada, Ijyuuin and Fujiyoshi are transferred to Hokuyou. Among them are vascular surgeon Toyama Seiji, anesthetist Kodaka Nanami, gastroenterological surgeon Matsudaira Kotaro. They all have some problems.

Zenda is the only one working hard amongst the lackadaisical doctors. Asada promises Zenda that he will form a strong medical team at Hokuyou. On the other hand, Professor Noguchi declares to Kataoka, who has come to tell him about Nishizawa's operation at Hokuyou, that the operation will definitely fail because ... ...

Yeah, it's a pity Izumi Inamori couldn't be with the team this time around...

Same sentiments. I'd love to see the whole team together to do a Bastita operation together.

Ah, there are 2 character charts? I didn't notice that. Everything seems to get more complicated after the first episode.

Exciting.

question: does anyone know where people can watch this online? english subbed?

English subbed episodes, as what garnet_moon said, is not out yet. But if you're looking for season 1's episodes, you can find them at Crunchyroll. The english subs are quite accurate.

Ep3 Trailer Synopsis

Asada Ryutaro, Ijyuuin Noboru and Fujiyoshi Keisuke defy Professor Noguchi over the treatment of the patient, Nishizawa Takafumi, and are relegated to Hokuyou Hospital. Of the former team, only Arase Monji and Satohara Miki remain at Meishin Medical University Hospital. However, Asada proclaims to Zenda Hideki, the director of Hokuyou Hospital, that he will form a new team.

On the other hand, Kataoka Kazumi arranges for Kitou Shoko to take Asada's place in Professor Noguchi's vision of a medical city; moreover, the plan to quietly destroy Hokuyou is underway. At that moment, Ijyuuin is dumbfounded by the listlessness of the doctors working at Hokuyou. The anesthetist Kodaka Nanami and surgeon Toyama Seiji, both of whom had been transferred from Meishin together with Ijyuuin, Asada and Fujiyoshi, are no different. Matsudaira Kotaro, who has been with Hokuyou for since the past, spends his days drinking in the department.

While Ijyuuin is disconcerted by what he sees, Nishizawa is brought in. Asada immediately brings Nishizawa to the ICU and performs an emergency surgery. Fujiyoshi obtains a copy of Nishizawa's surgery records from Meishin through Miki. Asada learns that the part that he had thought to be a tumour is a case of gauzeoma (granuloma caused by a gauze meant to stop bleeding during surgery being left behind in the body) after opening up Nishizawa's chest. He changes the operation to extract the gauzeoma. When it comes to the ventricular apex, Toyama offers to take over from Asada. Asada lets Toyama take his turn and he is about to separate it when that happens. Bucking ... Nishizawa's body is jerking wildly because the drug hasn't taken complete effect as a result of the anesthetist's inexperience. Toyama damages the ventricular apex and there is extensive bleeding.

Karte 3: That Surgery was a Failure Synopsis

Asada Ryutaro, Ijyuuin Noboru and Fujiyoshi Keisuke defy Professor Noguchi over the treatment of the patient, Nishizawa Takafumi, and are relegated to Hokuyou Hospital. Of the former team, only Arase Monji and Satohara Miki remain at Meishin Medical University Hospital. However, Asada proclaims to Zenda Hideki, the director of Hokuyou Hospital, that he will form a new team.

Zenda, who has never been pleased with the objectives of Hokuyou Hospital owner, Kataoka Kazumi, and Professor Noguchi, declares before the two of them that Asada will change Hokuyou. However, they have arranged for Kitou Shoko to take Asada's place in their vision of a medical city as Meishin's newly appointed director; moreover, the plan to quietly destroy Hokuyou is already underway.

At that moment, Ijyuuin is dumbfounded by the listlessness of the doctors working at Hokuyou. The anesthetist Kodaka Nanami and surgeon Toyama Seiji, both of whom had been transferred from Meishin together with Ijyuuin, Asada and Fujiyoshi, are no different. Matsudaira Kotaro, who has been with Hokuyou for since the past, spends his days drinking in the department.

While Ijyuuin is disconcerted by what he sees, a patient is brought in. It is Nishizawa. Asada immediately brings Nishizawa to the ICU and performs an emergency surgery. Nishizawa's pre-surgical evaluation had been done at Meishin. Ijyuuin recruits medical staff for the surgery but Kodaka won't budge. Toyama joyfully comes to the operating theatre but says that he wants to be the lead surgeon. Asada makes Toyama his first assistant and the surgery begins.

On the other hand, Fujiyoshi obtains a copy of Nishizawa's surgery records from Meishin through Miki. He sees the reason for Professor Noguchi's opposition to further surgery for Nishizawa from the records. Watching from the observation room, Fujiyoshi knows this surgery's difficulty.

Asada, who has opened up Nishizawa's chest, proceeds with a synechiotomy on the part he believes to be a tumour. When he realises that the young anesthetist cannot keep up with the surgery, he orders Ijyuuin to call Kodaka. In the meantime, Asada continues with the surgery but as he probes, a gauze emerges from the part he had thought to be a tumour. Nishizawa's post-surgical disorder is due to gauzeoma (granuloma caused by a gauze meant to stop bleeding during surgery being left behind in the body). Asada changes the operation to remove the gauzeoma. Even Fujiyoshi is amazed by his precision in separating the gauze. When it comes to the ventricular apex, Toyama offers to take over from Asada. Asada lets Toyama take his turn and he is about to separate it when that happens. Bucking ... Nishizawa's body is jerking wildly because the drug hasn't taken complete effect as a result of the anesthetist's inexperience. Toyama damages the ventricular apex and there is extensive bleeding.

Ijyuuin brings a reluctant Kodaka to the operating theatre. Kodaka is unmoved by the patient's sudden change in condition. Ignoring her, Asada calmly proceeds with the repair. Witnessing his work, Kodaka quietly starts issuing instructions to the young anesthetist. Nishizawa's operation comes to an end with Asada's prompt actions. Kodaka's actions didn't escape him.

Kitou, who has come with Kataoka to Hokuyou to watch the surgery, talks to Asada. She asks if he really intends to give up the vision of building Meishin's medical city to work at Hokuyou. Asada says there are patients that need him here. Kitou, who endorses Professor Noguchi's vision, tells Asada that it is a waste of his talent to be with Hokuyou. The aim of healthcare should be to save 10,000 people 10 years later rather than the patient right before one's eyes. Rot away with this hospital, she says as her parting words. Asada doesn't reply.

Asada, Ijyuuin and Fujiyoshi have a conference after the surgery. He shows them the surgery records Miki had brought from Meishin. It is evident that the records had been altered. Although the surgeon was another person, they deduce that the actual surgeon was Professor Noguchi due to the large number of nurses and assistants. That was why Professor Noguchi had persistently disregarded Nishizawa's appeals after the surgery. An irate Ijyuuin and Fujiyoshi decide to tell Nishizawa the truth. The next step will be a medical inquest of great importance.

The next day, Ijyuuin, Fujiyoshi and Asada head to Nishizawa's hospital room with a sense of determination. However, Kataoka is there. She says that she has come with a message for Nishizawa from Professor Noguchi, and carries an envelope of money. Ijyuuin and Fujiyoshi are stunned at Kataoka's attempt to take a preemptive measure to silence the patient. But because Nishizawa remains silent, the money is eventually accepted.

That night, Asada comes to examine Nishizawa. The old man thanks him for the surgery and tells him that his wife, who had cared for him during his surgery eight years earlier, hasn't been able to go out of the house lately. He wants to recover for his wife's sake.

Some days later, Nishizawa is discharged from the hospital in good condition. While Kataoka is at Meishin triumphantly telling Professor Noguchi that she has settled the matter with money, Asada, Fujiyoshi, Ijyuuin and Zenda are sending Nishizawa off as he walks away with his grandson, Eita. When they return to the hospital, they pass by Kataoka. Fujiyoshi, who calls out to Kataoka to stop, returns the money Nishizawa had passed to him. Kataoka's expression is full of disbelief.

On the other hand, at Meishin, Kitou orders Arase to follow her instructions and to refrain from having any contact with Asada from now on. Arase tells her that he would like to go to Hokuyou to watch them conduct a surgery because they're an affiliated hospital. Kitou talks about Nishizawa's surgery and dismisses the surgical team as useless. When she mentions that a female anesthetist was there, Arase bursts out laughing. What is the significance of his laughter?

[Guest jade_frost]

Ep4 Trailer Synopsis

The patient numbers at Hokuyou Hospital, the place Asada Ryutaro and the rest have been transferred to, remains unchanged; the reception desk is quiet.

The hospital's director, Zenda Hideki, asks Fujiyoshi about the formation of the team but it is difficult to secure with scant staff. Asada takes notice of Kodaka Nanami amidst all this. This is because Kodaka had given the young anesthetist the correct instructions during the gauzeoma surgery.

Yazawa Marie, who has complained of a stomachache, is taken to Hokuyou accompanied by Ogata Miu. Marie has acute appendicitis and recovers with Asada's surgery. However, during Marie's surgery, Toyama Seiji had ranted at the bungling ME, Nomura Hirohito, causing Nomura to cower further.

At that moment, Kitou Shoko takes "Team Kitou", a team of elite doctors she had formed, along with her to start a conference. Arase has also joined that team.

On the other hand, Professor Noguchi has a meeting with Kataoka Kazumi. Kataoka says actual achievements as well as connections for the permit approval are necessary to make Meishin an actual heart transplant facility. That night, Kataoka has dinner with the former Health Minister, Onda Tetsuzo. She starts to lay the groundwork for the permit approval.

Miu comes to Hokuyou to pay Marie a visit. Marie suggests that Miu, who has been complaining of chest pains, see Asada. However, Miu is unable to consult him.

Miu visits Marie at Hokuyou time and again but she is still unable to speak to Asada. She calls out to Kodaka. Kodaka's face colour momentarily changes when she touches Miu's chest as the girl complains of pain. Asada appears at that moment. As he brushes past Kodaka, she tells him of Miu's symptoms.

Asada promises Miu, who needs to undergo surgery, that they will definitely save her, but Miu's father is actually Onda Tetsuzo. Kataoka, who knows about Miu's illness ... ...

Karte 4: The Patient who definitely can't be Harmed

The patient numbers at Hokuyou Hospital, the place Asada Ryutaro and the rest have been transferred to, remains unchanged; the reception desk is quiet. The hospital's director, Zenda Hideki, asks Fujiyoshi about the formation of the team but it is difficult to secure with scant staff.

Asada takes notice of Kodaka Nanami amidst all this. This is because Kodaka had given the young anesthetist the correct instructions during the gauzeoma surgery. Asada wants to hear the reason why she hasn't participated in any surgeries all this while despite her capability but Kodaka evades his question by saying that she will enter the operating theatre if her addiction to cacao is cured.

"There are no decent doctors at Hokuyou." That rumour has even reached the ears of a female high school student. Yazawa Marie, who is being taken to Hokuyou by ambulance accompanied by her friend Ogata Miu because she complained of a stomachache, also says she wants to go to Meishin.

Marie has acute appendicitis. Asada, Ijyuuin and other doctors pass by a relieved Miu's side. Asada rebukes Toyama Seiji for making contemptuous remarks about the appendicitis surgery. Miu sees the group of doctors walk off and searches for a place to use her mobile phone. She approaches Kodaka who in turns asks if she has chocolate with her. When Marie's surgery starts, Toyama rants at the bungling ME, Nomura Hirohito. That voice causes Nomura to cower further.

At that moment, Kitou Shoko takes "Team Kitou", a team of elite doctors she had formed, along with her to start a conference. Arase has also been added to that team.

On the other hand, Professor Noguchi has a meeting with Kataoka Kazumi. Kataoka says actual achievements as well as connections for the permit approval are necessary to make Meishin an actual heart transplant facility. That night, Kataoka has dinner with the former Health Minister, Onda Tetsuzo. She starts to lay the groundwork for the permit approval.

At Hokuyou, Marie, whose surgery is over, is taking a turn for the better. When Miu comes to her ward to pay her a visit, Marie sings the praises of Asada, her surgeon, contrary to what she had said when being brought to Hokuyou. Marie suggests that Miu, who has been complaining of chest pains, see Asada. However, Miu is unable to consult him.

At that moment, commotion breaks out in the department. Matsudaira Kotaro has for some reason rebutted Toyama, who is denouncing Nomura's performance during the surgery. Ijyuuin hastily joins in to stop them but Nomura, gazing at the pen Toyama has broken, lets out a strange noise and dashes out of the department. Nomura tells Ijyuuin, who has chased after him, about his past. Nomura had been made to take the blame for a surgeon's mistake at his former hospital, and forced to transfer. Because that surgeon always despised him, Nomura became fearful of surgeons. He concludes that he cannot become a member of a team. Thereupon, Ijyuuin assures him that if it's Asada, he won't treat team members in that manner

Miu visits Marie at Hokuyou time and again but she is still unable to speak to Asada. On one visit, she tells Kodaka about her chest pains. Kodaka's face colour momentarily changes when she touches Miu's chest. Asada appears at that moment. As he brushes past Kodaka, she tells him of Miu's symptoms.

Asada promises Miu, who needs to undergo surgery, that they will definitely save her. But because Miu's father is actually Onda Tetsuzo, she is transferred to Meishin when Kataoka learns about her illness. Team Kitou will conduct Miu's surgery. However, a problem occurs. Miu has a rare blood type and they're unable to secure the blood needed for the surgery. When the doctors tells her about this, Miu feels a growing sense of alarm. At that moment, Miu, who is walking along the hospital corridor, hears Noguchi tell his doctors that she is a nuisance. This is in contrast with Asada's words.

The following day, as Ijyuuin passes some documents to Kihara Takehiko at Hokuyou, he sees a girl's figure heading towards the hospital. Isn't that Miu? When Ijyuuin rushes toward her, Miu says she has walked all the way from Meishin. Just as Ijyuuin is about to be careful because she is ill, Miu collapses. As Miu is put on a stretcher and brought into the hospital, Ijyuuin hears about her rare blood type from Kihara. However, Miu needs emergency surgery.

At that moment, Noguchi, who has learned that Miu had left Meishin and collapsed at Hokuyou, snickers that he has rid himself of a nuisance. Can that be Miu's fate?

[Guest jade_frost]

Ep5 Trailer Synopsis

Ogata Miu trusts Asada Ryutaro and was hospitalised at Hokuyou.

However, when Kataoka Kazumi and Noguchi Takeo learn that Miu is the illegitimate daughter of politician, Onda Tetsuzo, they have her transferred over to Meishin. However, it turns out that Miu has an extremely rare blood type. Noguchi tears his hair out over this risky surgery. However, Miu slips out of Meishin and collapses in front of Hokuyou. An emergency surgery is required right away but ...

Fujiyoshi desperately searches for blood similar to Miu's type but can't find any. At that moment, the anesthetist recalls a professor who had operated a patient with the same blood type as Miu. Ijyuiin knows that professor. Asada and Fujiyoshi instruct Ijyuuin to contact the professor and get an introduction to the patient so that blood can be secured. Ijyuuin hurries to the patient's house.

On the other hand, Asada, with Toyama Seiji as his assistant, announces the start of Miu's surgery. The surgical procedure involves stopping her circulation of blood because she can't have blood transfusions. The time limit for this is 40 minutes. Asada proceeds with the surgery at startling speed but midway through it, a serious problem occurs. Miu's affected part is much bigger than preoperative examination showed!

Karte 5: Go! Fate of Surgery without Blood Transfusion

Ogata Miu trusts Asada Ryutaro and is hospitalised at Hokuyou. However, when Kataoka Kazumi and Noguchi Takeo learn that Miu is the illegitimate daughter of politician, Onda Tetsuzo, they have her transferred over to Meishin. Dr Kitou Shoko's team is to perform the surgery but it turns out that Miu has an extremely rare blood type. Noguchi tears his hair out over this risky surgery. However, Miu slips out of Meishin and collapses in front of Hokuyou. An emergency surgery is required right away but ...

At Meishin, Noguchi explains Miu's situation to Onda. He says that they can only trust Hokuyou with Miu's surgery. From Noguchi's perspective, he has neatly gotten rid of a nuisance.

Preparations for the surgery are underway at Hokuyou. Nomura Hirohito gets unnerved by the important surgery. Fujiyoshi desperately searches for blood similar to Miu's type but can't find any. At that moment, the anesthetist recalls a professor who had operated a patient with the same blood type as Miu. Ijyuiin knows that professor. Asada and Fujiyoshi instruct Ijyuuin to contact the professor and get an introduction to the patient so that blood can be secured. Ijyuuin hurries to the house of the patient called Kadowaki.

However, the surgical team doesn't wait for the arrival of the blood. Asada, with Toyama Seiji as his assistant, announces the start of Miu's surgery. The surgical procedure involves stopping her circulation of blood because she can't have blood transfusions. The time limit for this is 40 minutes. Asasda says he will complete the whole surgery in 40 minutes but Toyama finds this impossible to believe. Despite this, the surgery begins fueled by Asada's firm belief that it has to be done. Asada proceeds with the surgery at startling speed but midway through it, a serious problem occurs. Miu's affected part is much bigger than preoperative examination showed. With such a situation, the surgery can't be finished in 40 minutes but Asada doesn't give up.

At that moment, Zenda finally finds blood of the same type as Miu's. It is a mere 400cc but he arranges to have it delivered immediately. On the other hand, Ijyuuin who heard that Kadowaki is out shopping, searches for her at the shopping mall. While there, he runs into Kihara Takehiko. Kihara had been at Hokuyou when Miu collapsed. Although the cunning Noguchi had ordered him to return immediately, Kihara defies it and searches for Kadowaki together with Ijyuuin.

Asada's pace doesn't slow. However, Kodaka Nanami and Matsudaira Kotaro, who is watching the surgery through the department's monitor, are indifferent that they can't hold out until the end without the blood. When Kodaka leaves the department, Kataoka talks to her. Kataoka, whose head will roll if the blood isn't delivered, tells Kodaka that even so Asada is prepared for the worst.

The original estimated time of completion is approaching. The team still has the crucial part of the surgery to go. Toyama is about to give up. Then Asada instructs Nomura to turn the artificial heart-lung machine. He says he intends to maintain the volume of circulating blood by diluting Miu's blood with the insertion of other liquid drugs. This procedure requires skilled management. Nomura is seized with fear and shakes his head. Asada coaxes him by saying that the team will be behind him. As Nomura finally steels his resolve, the doors of the operating theatre open. Kodaka comes in. She has joined the surgery at Kataoka's persuasion. Nomura and Kodaka skillfully regulate the blood volume and anesthesia volume but the limit is approaching.

The blood that is being transported from the blood transfusion centre is caught in a traffic jam. Ijyuuin rides his motor bike to pick it up. He secures the blood and hurries to Hokuyou. Finally reaching the hospital, he passes the blood to a nurse and enters the observation room ... to find that Asada and the rest of the team have stopped moving. As Ijyuuin mutters to himself "I didn't make it in time?" he hears Asada declare the surgery complete. Asada had at the last moment diluted the blood volume and finished the surgery without any mishap. Joy fills the operating theatre at Hokuyou. But ...

There's a man who is vexed over Miu's successful surgery at Hokuyou. It's Meishin's Noguchi. Just as he thinks that Onda's faith in Meishin will stop here, Kihara rushes in. Kihara apologises for not answering the phone call and confesses with trepidation that he had been helping Ijyuuin to secure blood for the surgery. Noguchi, far from being angry with Kihara's actions, commends him.

Then, Noguchi has a meeting with Onda together with Kataoka. Sure enough, Noguchi tells Onda, who is condemning him for Meishin's bungle and stating that he'll withdraw support for Meishin's accreditation, that Kihara performed the surgery on Miu without batting an eyelid. Adding to that, Kataoka says that if he doesn't believe these words, she will go public about Miu being his illegitimate daugther. Even a man like Onda has no choice but to back down.

Ep6 Trailer Synopsis

Little by little, patients who have heard talk of Asada Ryutaro flock to Hokuyou hospital to rely on his skills. However there hasn't been any progress in the formation of Asada's team. Surgeon Toyama Seiji, as usual feels a sense of rivalry towards Asada.

Even the medical staff rush to the observation room when the time for Asada's surgery approaches.

On such an occasion, a call comes in notifying the hospital that Godai Akiyo is being brought over. Her husband, Shozo, who is accompanying her, requests that Asada be her surgeon. The attending medical staff tells him that Asada is performing a surgery now. However, Toyama snatches the telephone receiver and replies that Asada is in.

Toyama undertakes Akiyo's surgery. In a display of rivalry, Toyama finishes that surgery faster than Asada and boasts of his skills.

At Meishin university hospital, Noguchi looks very pleased with the successive successful living donor liver transplantations done by Kitou Shoko's team. In response to this, he proceeds with further preparations for the heart transplant accreditation.

Kataoka Kazumi advances the destruction of Hokuyou. She turns down director, Zenda Hideki's submitted request for trivial electrical system repair expenses, and instead places priority on the introduction of expensive medical testing equipment for the establishment of checkups for the wealthy.

That night, an ominous typhoon draws near the hospital. The hospital has a power outage with the fierce lightning storm. Toyama is informed of Akiyo's cardiac arrest by a nurse. When Toyama rushes over, Ijyuuin has already started giving Akiyo a heart massage. Because the elevator can't move due to the blackout, they open her chest on the spot. When her chest is cut open, Toyama's botched operation is exposed ...
