Ladies and gentlemen, you've endured a long journey.

This ship is about to arrive at the port of Shimina Island.

Please make sure not to forget your belongings.

Until the ship is fully docked...

is that a fishing boat?

What's going on? Is everything okay?

Hey.

Nami? I'm Hoshino.

I heard you're taking today's ferry back to the island?

Yes.

I'm at the harbor, but it seems there's been a fishing boat accident.

Oh?

So I have to help transport the injured to the clinic.

Nami, hopes you'll come to the clinic later.

Alright, got it.

Well, then I'll hang up for now. Hey.

Hey, can you hear me?

Ouch.

It hurts.

Hey, what are you doing?

You kicked me.

Ha, you're the one who stuck your foot out first.

Isn't that Abara's boat?

Hello.

Ah, it's been so long.

Nana, are you alright? Don't cry, okay?

this for the kids

Aunt, this is green juice. It's a bit damaged, sorry.

Nami, you're back.

I'm back.

Hey.

Hey, can you also bring the resident doctor who was on the same boat with you

Alright.

His name is...

I got it.

I'm sorry, is Dr. Oda Hanto from Kenryukan Hospital here?

Dr. Oda Hanto who is on a training program at the Shimina Clinic on Shikina Island.

Dr. Hando Oda.

This isn't a popularity contest, stop calling my name repeatedly.

You're Dr. Oda?

Yes, I'm Hando.

We're leaving soon.

Hold on.

Hurry up!

This welcome ceremony is too enthusiastic.

Take it easy, take it easy.

You can do it!

time.

Without thinking, I'm not happy.

Mr. Hara, we're going to lift you up.

You see the wound, right?

Nami, where's the doctor?

Hold him down.

He's currently at the Hamaoka area for consultation.

I've already contacted him. He should be back soon.

My bad. It's been a while since I caught such a big marlin. I couldn't control it well.

Time.

Haku.

Uncle wants to come up and help...

What's going on?

Seems like a marlin weighing over a hundred kilograms.

The guy went berserk, and the spike stabbed his foot.

We need blood. Prepare the blood transfusion tools, Watanabe.

Type B, right?

Mr. Hara, are there any other injuries?

He's got injuries on his hands too.

Hang in there a bit longer. The doctor is on his way.

What about Nami? Did you get in touch with her?

Dad, why did you come over alone? Bring her along too.

Is it because there's not enough manpower here?

Don't get angry, it's not good for your health.

Sorry, everyone. We're about to start the surgery.

Ayaka.

Nami, that's great.

We're about to start the surgery. Help with the preparations.

Sure, let me through.

Place it here.

Stabbed in the inner thigh by the marlin's spike, massive bleeding.

Probably severed a major artery as well.

It's a surgery to reconstruct the thigh's blood vessels, right?

Most likely.

Excuse me, are you planning to perform a thigh blood vessel reconstruction surgery here?

Are you Dr. Oda who's here for training?

Yes, should we do it here instead of transferring?

There's not enough time to transfer to a hospital on the main island. Everyone, help move him to the operating room.

I'm late.

Doctor! Doctor!

Let me take a look.

Mr. Hara, no need to worry.

Let's move him in like this.

Get ready. Lift!

Make way.

You're Dr. Oda, right?

Yes.

Sorry, could you go wait in the office for a moment?

Sure.

Ah, wait a moment.

Let me help too.

I'm sorry.

We're now proceeding with the surgery to reconstruct the right thigh's blood vessels and nerve stitching.

Please guide us.

Dr. Oda, please guide us.

Just call me Hando.

Hando?

Yes, please guide us.

Surgical scalpel and forceps.

Yes.

Nami, start the blood transfusion.

Yes.

Dr. Koto, is amputation an option?

Mr. Hara is a fisherman. He can't lose his leg.

Please confirm.

B positive. Confirmed.

Electric scalpel.

Yes.

Pass me the gauze.

Yes.

You idiots!

Hara got hurt, why wasn't I notified first, you idiots!

Calm down, Uncle.

How's it going now?

Surgery's in progress. Looks like there's heavy bleeding.

I'm truly sorry.

You moron, do your damn job properly!

Really...

What the heck is Hara fishing for?

What did you say?

Oh, you're here. Your presence is so scarce I didn't notice.

Scarce?

Who do you think you are to judge others?

What? I meant you're still too inexperienced as a fishing captain.

Didn't you retire already? Why are you butting in, you moron!

Enough of this quarreling.

Yeah, don't argue at a time like this.

Both of you are baldies, what are you up to?

sorry.

Do you have the Fogarty embolectomy catheter?

We have size 4. Nami.

Yes.

Normal saline solution.

Yes.

Please confirm.

Yes.

What? What's wrong?

Hara got injured.

They're currently in surgery.

Really?

Get ready with 7-0 nylon sutures.

Yes, Watanabe.

Yes.

-Gauze. -Thank you.

Give me medical scissors.

Yes.

Here's the 7-0 suture.

Yes.

Tissue scissors.

Yes.

Here it is.

Administer an additional 1 cc of epinephrine.

could I ask you to suture the blood vessels?

Yes.

Prepare whole blood.

Thank you.

No need to thank me.

Hando, you've been a big help. Thank you.

Do we have longer fish hooks?

Yes.

Vascular clamp.

Yes.

Irrigate with around 2000 cc.

Yes, Nami.

Yes.

Medical scissors.

Yes.

What are you doing?

It's none of your business.

It's been a while.

Is he dead?

Hey, Ryu.

I'm worried about him. I'm worried about him, that's all.

Ah, Doctor.

The surgery went smoothly.

Doctor!

Hara, he's alright. No amputation.

Thank you, Doctor. Thank you.

Everyone, you've all worked hard.

Next, I'll start seeing patients. I'll go change my clothes first.

Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

Alright, then let's begin the consultations. Can we start with Mr. Kazuo?

Ah, Village Chief, please go ahead.

After all, you're the Village Chief. You're the Village Chief, after all.

You're the Village Chief? Hello, um...

I'm Hando Oda from Kenryu Institute University Hospital.

He retired a long time ago.

Ah, well, you see...

I retired 20 years ago.

Oh, I see.

Hello, my name is Oda.

Does it hurt?

Village Chief, it seems you might have slept with your neck in an odd position again.

Come on, let me see your hand.

Dr. Koto Clinic.

I'm heading out for a consultation.

- Ayaka, please take care of Mr. Hara. - Sure.

Nami, you can go home now.

You can see Dr. Koto off.

Alright.

Take care on your way.

I'm off.

Doctor, what's the matter?

- Batteries! - Ah, thank you.

How could I forget this? Here, there you go.

Alright, thank you. Power on. Okay.

- Take care on the way. - I'm off.

Shimina Clinic.

Are consultations starting now?

It's the usual routine.

Then I'll head back to the town office.

What?

Huh? Aren't you a staff member at the clinic?

Mr. Wada works for the municipal government.

Is that so?

Originally, he was in charge here.

But after the merger of towns and villages,

he got transferred to the Environmental Development Department.

It's really a headache not understanding the personnel changes on the front line.

Then let's take a picture.

Get closer. Closer.

Closer. Closer.

Here.

Cheese!

Inhale.

Hold your breath.

Hello, Doctor.

Thanks to you.

I'm Sakano.

- Pleased to meet you. - Pleased to meet you.

Just call me Hando.

Doctor Koto.

Hello.

How have you been lately?

How have you been lately?

Haven't we just talked this morning?

Haven't we just talked this morning?

We need to prepare dinner next, you know.

Okay then, bye, Dad.

Come on, let's say goodbye to Grandpa together.

Goodbye, Grandpa.

Being chatty can get annoying sometimes.

Slightly higher.

Let's measure again.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Hello.

Thanks to you.

So adorable.

Mr. Hara, I'm going to touch your foot now.

Shin, this might make you feel a bit more comfortable.

If you're tired, it's okay to let him sleep like this.

This was drawn by the old man.

If you don't mind, please accept it.

So cute.

Thank you.

- Here's the key. - Huh?

- Aren't you coming in with me? - No, thanks.

- You've worked hard. - At least come in for a cup of tea.

Nishino Maternity Clinic.

Ah, Doctor, is there something you need?

I'm here to deliver medication.

Huh? You didn't take your daytime medicine again?

- I took it. - Really?

- That's great. - Yes.

Make sure to take your medicine properly.

You too.

Wow.

Hey.

Dr. Coto’s Clinic.

Are you still... sleeping?

Sleeping like a log.

Shouji, right?

Masako.

Shougetsu isn't possible.

Ayaka, you should tell me by now.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Asking again?

I've already said we can't see clearly, so we don't know the gender.

You should give up the name "Shou" then.

The child... its father...

If not "Shou," at least use "Ichi."

"Ichi" is also not possible.

Good morning.

Ah, Doctor, you've been working hard these days.

It's alright.

It's fried eggs. So happy.

You say that every day.

- Here. - Thank you.

Huh, did you bump into something again?

Ah, yeah, really.

- Be more careful. - Okay.

I'll start eating then.

Please enjoy.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

There wasn't much change last night.

Mr. Hara, how do you feel?

Overall, I'm alright.

Your body temperature?

36.3 degrees Celsius.

Blood pressure and heart rate are both stable.

How's the drainage?

Serosanguinous, about 10cc.

I see. Thank you all. You've worked hard.

- You've worked hard. - You've worked hard.

It's great to recover smoothly.

Doctor, about this matter, Takehiro..

Hmm, we don't know yet.

In that case, can you keep it a secret?

I don't want him to worry too much.

Even if that's the case,

we can't really keep it from Hara.

He suffered such a serious injury.

Right.

Go and contact him to check on him.

Hey, it's Mariko.

Takehiro's foot got injured.

Dr. Goto performed surgery on him.

It really tastes so good.

Indeed.

Just adding a little of this

makes the whole thing taste better.

True.

Next time you go to Honshu Island, buy some more.

But Dr. Goto did warn you

to watch your salt intake.

Ah, and if you feel any discomfort in your chest, let us know immediately.

Got it, got it.

Ah, you forgot to take your medicine again.

- Really? - You need to be more attentive to your health.

Even when you're feeling well, you can't neglect it. Here.

Alright, alright.

Until I deliver Ayaka's child,

i can't die.

You always say that.

And what about my child?

Huh? Do you have a partner?

No, I was just giving an example.

I just hope you live long enough to deliver my child.

Then bring your partner to me to see.

I told you, I don't have a partner.

Didn't you say you were in a relationship?

I didn't say that. I was just giving an example.

I'd like to see your partner soon.

Come on, eat more.

I'm back.

Wel...come... back.

Where's the doctor?

He said he's staying at the clinic today.

Ayaka, come here. Come here.

What's going on?

Is it another name?

I also have a name I want.

Huh? What? What's happening? Huh?

Then let's see which one is better. Majority rules.

The child... its father...

You should take good care...

Ah, it got on me.

Doctor.

Sorry, did I wake you up?

I...

Can I continue being a fisherman?

To be honest, it's hard to say at the moment.

But if you undergo proper rehabilitation, you will definitely recover gradually.

Mr. Hara.

The most important thing is your determination to continue being a fisherman.

We will also do our best.

Don't give up. Let's work hard together.

Alright, I understand.

It seems that the doctor and Ayaka have already arrived home.

- Thank you for your care. - Take care.

Sister Mariko, can you give this to the doctor for me?

- Sure, got it. - Thank you. Be careful on your way.

Hey, Miss Mariko, aren't you Mr. Hara's girlfriend?

no.

Dr. Hando can't handle this kind of relationship, can he?

How do you know?

While you say whatever you think,

your feelings are also written all over your face.

Really?

You don't even go to see them off?

It's okay if I don't.

His son is here.

Kunio isn't Mr. Hara's son.

Mr. Hara's son is Takehiro.

Takehiro?

Takehiro is currently studying at the Tokyo University Hospital.

- Ah, he's a doctor. - Yes.

He's the most talented person on the island.

From Kaei to Meirin University.

I think he'll work at this clinic in the future.

Hey, is that Ryu?

What's up? Rare for you to call me. How have you been lately?

Hmm.

How's the thing I sent over before?

It's good. Thank you.

That's good.

And you, you probably haven't been eating properly again.

It's alright. Someone cooks for me.

Is that so?

Hmm.

that

Well, there's something I'd like to ask you to do.

What is it?

Have you seen Takehiro lately?

Huh? Takehiro? You mean Takehiro?

Yes. I want you to check on how he's doing.

Well, I guess I can. Why the sudden interest in him?

Please, I'm counting on you.

Alright, I got it.

Alright then. You're busy too. Sorry for bothering you.

Wait a moment. Mom, Mom!

What's wrong?

Well, maybe you should come to Tokyo.

Is this about that again? I have my shop to run.

But I wanted to introduce the person who cooks for me to you.

I see.

Alright, I'll consider it.

Okay then,

Goodbye

Clinic consolidation and restructuring?

Yes.

As you know, not only Shimikana Island,

but also the neighboring islands, have been aging in recent years.

The population is decreasing,

and many clinics have been closing down.

Therefore, we're considering consolidating and restructuring the clinics.

Integrate hospitals on Honshu Island for diagnosis and treatment

1. About the status of the clinic

(1) Merger and reorganization of clinics

In recent years, not only the islands near Shimina Island are aging

The population is decreasing, and many clinics have been closing down. Therefore, we're considering consolidating and restructuring the clinics.

This doesn't mean that all the clinics on each island will be abandoned. In places without clinics, online consultations or mobile clinics will be utilized.

As for the adjustment of responsibilities that clinics have been handling so far, further discussions are needed.

As for the guiding doctor for this base hospital, we hope you,

Dr. Koto, will take on the role.

- Me? - That's right.

However, in that case,

you'll have to work off the island.

Shikana Island Clinic.

Dr. Koto Clinic.

Hello.

Is anyone there?

Yes, I'm coming.

- Huh? Are you here for a shot? - It'll be more comfortable this way.

- Is Dr. Goto not here? - Just be patient.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!

I haven't even started yet.

I haven't started yet.

The bracelet you're wearing on your hand is really pretty.

I made it myself.

Alright, the shot is done.

Thank you.

Alright, okay.

As for the medication, you haven't finished the previous prescription, right?

It's fine.

- Alright then, I'll leave now. - Take care.

- Next patient, Mr. Ikuo Yamashita. - Here.

Dr. Koto isn't here.

Excuse me, is Dr. Koto not available?

Yes, Dr. Koto is out. I'll be taking appointments for now.

Well then, I'll come back later.

Huh?

- Mr. Ikuo? - the doctor is not here.

Mr. Ikuo.

- Go back for now. - Go back.

go back first

Take care, everyone.

Dr. Koto is currently out.

Ayala and Nami are also not here.

- It's been tough keeping watch. - Dr. Wada.

- This is to reward you. - Wow, thank you.

How's it going?

Everyone should definitely see Dr. Koto.

So everyone went back.

When Dr. Koto first arrived here,

He faced the same problems.

Is that so?

But now, he's like family to all of us.

During this time, it must have been quite challenging.

Day and night, he was called to treat patients.

It's precisely because he's experienced this hardship that he's so reliable.

Hello.

Oh, you're here. Don't you have school?

Hmm, today is Island Exploration Day, so we have a half-day off.

Ah, doctor, let me introduce you.

These are all my children.

Come, say hello to the doctor.

- Hello, doctor. - Hello.

These are all your children?

That's right. In order to combat the declining population on the island,

I've done my best to contribute a little.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

Hey.

Have the children arrived?

They just got here.

Good.

I'm about to attend the Guardians' meeting.

Can the children have lunch at your place?

Understood, understood.

Look, it's Mom.

Mom!

Hey there, can you see me?

- Can you see us? - We've arrived.

Listen to Dad, okay?

Sure.

Take care on your way.

Sure, I'm entrusting the children to you.

- By the way, Ahe. - I'm here, I'm here.

What do you want for dinner tonight?

Dinner? Fish!

Got it.

- Ah, sorry. We're having curry tonight. - What?

I'm sorry. Well then, you do your best at work.

Goodbye.

Not bad, not bad.

You'll give birth to a wonderful child.

Alright, that's enough.

Hey, here's this for you.

With this, you'll surely have a safe delivery.

thank you.

Grandma, did you climb those stairs?

Dr. Koto also told me to exercise, right?

And besides,

This can only be given on the seventh day of the seventh month.

Even though it's exercise, you should still be moderate.

Alright, now it's your turn.

Let's check your blood pressure. Come over here.

Grandma, you forgot to take your medicine again.

Will the child resemble Dr. Koto or Ayaka?

- Midori granny, checking the blood pressure. - I'm really looking forward to it.

I am looking forward too.

I wonder what kind of child it will be.

Is that so?

After all, it's the child of both of you.

But I can't really imagine what Dr. Koto would be like as a father.

No matter whether he's happy or not,

He wouldn't say it out loud.

That's it

I think he doesn't want to burden me.

But now,

I'll be satisfied as long as I can safely give birth to the child.

Ayaka, make sure to take your maternity and parenting leave.

With me here, you can rest assured and rest.

That's right. You're right.

Hmm.

With you here, we're certain to succeed.

- Really? - Yes.

You'd do just fine even in a major hospital on the mainland.

You're exaggerating.

By the way, Ayaka, did you know?

Dr. Hando is the heir of a big hospital in Tokyo.

Really?

Yes, he proudly told me himself.

He even asked if I wanted to go to the hospital in Tokyo with him.

I'll drive on the way back.

Thank you.

So that means

there won't be a Shikina Island Clinic anymore?

No, it's not like that.

If that were the case, I'd feel troubled too.

Twenty years ago, Mr. Hoshino brought you to this island.

If not for you, my daughter wouldn't have been born safely.

And Yukari as well, we're incredibly grateful to you.

The island's people are too. They'd definitely strongly oppose it.

On the path of medicine, there are mirages.

But I hope to convey Dr. Koto's 20 years on this island

to physicians aiming for remote island healthcare,

and train them well.

I believe this could greatly promote the development of healthcare on remote islands.

And, assuming the doctor agrees to this,

the clinic would need physicians who could replace you.

This island must not return to a place without a doctor.

Tokyo, the capital, brimming with smiles.

In last month's acute appendicitis surgery,

suspected of causing severe bleeding in a 50-year-old male patient...

I'm off to take Grandma Fumiko.

- Fumiko Grandma, are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

Dr. Hando, sorry.

No, I'm just idle.

Speaking of which, Dr. Koto,

this case of yours is as detailed as a diary.

Is that so?

It's Shin Uncle.

Terminal pancreatic cancer.

The metastasis is severe.

He's mostly bedridden now, but his spirits are high.

His hobbies are painting, writing letters.

When he's feeling good, he sketches in the yard.

The flower of life will bloom in my courtyard once again this year.

- Has he given up on active treatment? - Yes.

Now, we're only focusing on palliative care.

He personally wishes to go back to his home.

By the way, how about coming with me next time?

Alright.

I think it's about time for me to finish work.

I'll take my leave then.

- Dr. Hando. - Yes.

There's something I'd like to ask of you.

What is it?

Can you assist me with a bone marrow aspiration?

Note: The term "マルク" (maruku) used by Dr. Koto for bone marrow aspiration is derived from "Knochenmark" in German.

A bone marrow aspiration?

Who is that? Do we have such a patient?

Alright, I'll start the anesthesia now.

Thank you for your hard work.

Dr. Hando.

Can you keep this matter confidential for me?

Ah, sure.

I'm counting on you.

- We're going to insert the needle now. - Alright.

Is this for real?

Ugh, I really hate this kind of thing.

Did you bump into something again?

Ah, yeah, actually.

- Be more careful. - Okay.

Doct...or... you... took... so... long.

Did you encounter an emergency patient?

I'll make a call to check.

Ayaka, wait a moment.

What's the matter?

Sakano talked to me about something.

Did you hear anything from the doctor?

Dr. Koto, it's been a while.

Long time no see.

Today, coincidentally, a patient mentioned wanting to quit postoperative hormone therapy.

Of course. I informed them about the risk of recurrence.

But they said no matter what, they want to have a child with their husband.

They just won't listen to reason.

Even though their determination can't quite match Ms. Hoshino back then.

I see.

It's been about 8 months now.

Hmm, it's almost time.

Yes. I hope both mother and child will be safe.

Thank you.

Is there something you need?

Did you want to tell me something?

I have a specimen. I hope you can help with a thorough examination.

What?

It's a suspected acute leukemia patient...

Takehiro, hello.

oh what are you doing?

oh?

Isn't this Takehiro?

oh?

Isn't this Takehiro?

what are you doing here?

Yes, it's Takehiro.

Takehiro is back.

He came back to see your dad, right?

Your dad was discharged a while ago.

What time is it? This child...

Hey, who's this?

He's become just like a city person.

Despite being a doctor,

You won't even take a look at their own father's illness.

I'm sorry, Takehiro.

Brother.

how have you been?

Is that all you say?

No, it's been a while.

- Don't be nervous. - I'm not.

Kunio?

Could you please take the vase from my entrance outside?

dad

Why are you here?

Mariko contacted me.

Hello.

How are you feeling, Mr. Hara?

Come in.

Takehiro.

Takehiro.

Dr. Koto, Sister Ayaka.

It's been a long time.

Welcome home.

The surgery itself went smoothly.

The post-operative recovery has been going well too.

Whether they can fully recover to their previous state is uncertain.

We can't conclude that at the moment.

Does my father know?

Yes, he should know by now.

but

we don't want him to lose hope.

I'm back.

Thank you for your hard work.

I went to Chieko's house to see a patient.

Thank you for your hard work. How did it go?

It could possibly be lumbar degenerative disease.

I've prescribed a hot compress and pain relievers for now.

They said they'll wait for you to examine them.

seems like they don't quite believe me.

Understood.

This is Dr. Hando Oda from the Kenryu Institute University Hospital.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hanto.

This is Hara's son, Takehiro.

Ah.

Dr. Hanto was also involved in Hara's surgery.

- I appreciate your assistance. - It's nothing, really. I didn't do much.

Mr. Takehiro is also a doctor, right?

No, not yet...

I just finished my postgraduate training recently.

My father wanted me to challenge myself.

- Huh? - My family runs a hospital.

He said that someone like me, who's not fully dedicated, should train in a place like this.

Hello, everyone.

- You're back. - I'm back.

long time no see.

Um...

This is Nami, the granddaughter of Grandma Nishino.

don't you remember?

Didn't recognize you.

Huh? You didn't recognize me?

I'm Koto.

Sorry,

I can't move right now.

I'll call you back later.

Sorry about that.

What's the relationship?

I'm not telling Dr. Hanto.

Why not?

Huh? You like that type?

No, it's not that.

Dr. Koto Clinic.

Oh, that.

The kids at the Wada house redid it for us.

This is the fourth one already.

I see.

Is Ayaka going to have a baby too?

Yeah.

By the way, we sent you a wedding invitation back then.

Sorry about that.

Don't worry about Mr. Hara.

I'll make sure to help him with his rehabilitation training.

Thank you.

How long are you staying here?

Not too long...

Is that so?

Well, at least come by my place.

My mom will be thrilled.

Alright.

Takehiro.

Yeah?

- Hurry back to Tokyo. - Huh?

I'm fine.

Bone marrow aspirate report.

There's no doubt.

It's acute myeloid leukemia.

I see.

Doctor Koto.

This is your report, right?

The sooner, the better.

If you're willing, our hospital can start your admission procedures immediately.

Of course, leukemia is no longer an incurable disease.

but…

If treatment doesn't start right away,

you'll only have a few weeks to one or two months left.

If it's too fast, tomorrow might not be possible.

Regardless of how it develops, it's not unexpected.

Additionally, you should consider registering for a bone marrow transplant...

Doctor Koto,

are you listening?

Next, we'll report the weather conditions from various regions.

Yesterday, Typhoon No. 6 was formed over the southern sea of Japan.

Currently, it has reached southwest of Shiminoshima Island and is moving slowly...

Takehiro, could you do me a favor?

Hara, can you help me with something?

Takehiro,

is there something you're keeping from us?

Come here.

Welcome home, Dr. Takehiro. Welcome party!

Welcome home, Takehiro.

Our hero.

The superhero doctor.

Welcome back.

Why is everyone...

After all, it's necessary when you finally come back.

this still needs to be done

Exactly, exactly.

Takehiro is our island's pride.

Dr. Koto and the others will come by later.

Let's raise a toast together.

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh my, it's Doctor.

Welcome, welcome.

What's going on here?

It's Takehiro's welcome party.

Yea,

our hero, Takehiro's welcome party.

I just came to have lunch.

Is it okay for the restaurant to be like this?

It's fine.

Please, go ahead.

Sorry, sorry.

The countryside is really over the top.

They go all out for someone attending medical school.

Huh?

Being at the bottom of the class in college, like me...

Now I'm exiled to an island like this.

Hey, resident doctor.

What did you say?

This island is at the forefront in Japan.

Indeed.

Japan's future includes both declining birth rates and population outflow.

This is the norm.

Even here, we have access to wireless internet.

It's 'wireless network,' Mr. Shige.

Come on, let's have a toast.

You just mentioned this part.

It's so noisy, be quiet.

Hey, resident doctor, you should have a drink too.

I mean, strictly speaking, I'm not a resident doctor.

Go ahead, don't worry about it, just drink.

Alcohol is prohibited on the island, you know.

What are you saying?

At this point, such things don't matter.

Takehiro, he's grown up.

He's an important asset for the future of Shikana Island.

Taking over the position from the Five Islands.

Determined to become a doctor to treat my prostate.

Different from someone who just arrived here two months ago.

Uncle, are you drunk?

Yeah, I'm drunk.

Hy, Takehiro.

Brother.

Why are you hanging around here?

Staying with them?

Huh, what?

You seem really happy.

Haven't seen Shoichi so cheerful in a while.

Indeed.

When will Gangyang be able to return to the clinic?

Takehiro, when can you come back to the clinic?

Hurry up and return to the clinic.

I've been waiting for you to come back too.

Have any new couples formed?

That's not allowed.

Did Nami stop coming to our hospital?

Why are you making wishful remarks?

Wait a moment.

You're putting me in a difficult position with this.

Hold on a second.

Nami, after Mariko left...

Mr. Shige what are you saying? Are you waiting for me to die?

Sorry for being late.

Shoichi, hey, Shoichi.

You're way too slow.

Huh, what about Koto and Ayaka?

Those two...

Xinshu hasn't been feeling well.

They were called over.

Hey, what's going on? What's happening?

Finally, just when Takehiro and...

Hey, where's Takehiro?

He was just over there a moment ago.

Hey, Takehiro.

- Here, sorry to keep you waiting. - Thanks.

I'm starting.

Motoki.

I'm sorry.

You've worked hard.

Hey, is that you, Ryu?

Hey, Mom.

Listen to me, it's about Takehiro.

Hey, Takehiro isn't in the toilet either.

Huh?

Sorry, he finally came back.

Seems like the police from Tokyo are here.

Did Takehiro come back to the island?

I should've told you earlier.

What's going on?

Has something happened?

They're looking for Takehiro, they said.

Looking for Takehiro?

Thank goodness nothing major happened to Xinshu.

Yeah.

If only we could continue painting autumn flowers.

Everyone's late for the welcome meeting.

Shouldn't be a problem.

It's likely going to continue until the evening.

Ayaka, can you wait a moment?

I have something I want to talk to you about.

What's wrong? Is it something serious?

You've been acting strange lately.

Are you hesitating about leaving the island?

Mr. Sakano seems to have talked to Dad.

He said you haven't replied.

Or is it...

A health issue?

Are you feeling unwell somewhere?

I know. After all, we've been living together.

Takehiro,

Sorry to interrupt.

Hello.

Taketoshi.

What's going on?

Takehiro.

Doctor.

I

I'm not a doctor.

I'm not a doctor.

What happened?

I'm sorry.

I was a bit worried about Takehiro.

So, I contacted Ryu.

Mom, do you know about that

case the news has been talking about?

I don't know.

The one about the clinic in Shinjuku where surgeries on illegally staying foreigners resulted in death?

It appeared to be a 24-hour clinic on the surface,

but there were many underlying issues.

Also, I couldn't get in touch with Takehiro.

When I was checking this news, I saw Takehiro's name.

And then...

His resume mentioned "Withdrew from Meirin University."

It seems Takehiro withdrew from school.

Dropped out?

Why?

My grades dropped,

and i lost my scholarship.

I wanted to take a year off to work and save money for tuition, but it wasn't approved.

In the end, I couldn't return to school.

What year was you in?

I was in his senior year, spring semester.

Takehiro.

You're really here.

What exactly are you doing?

The police from Tokyo came to the island to find you.

The director of a clinic in Shinjuku, Tokyo,

was arrested for medical malpractice resulting in death.

was arrested for medical malpractice resulting in death.

The suspect, Yuji Iwama, director of the Komorebi Clinic in Nishi-Shinjuku,

was arrested.

The suspect Iwama, during an acute appendicitis surgery last month on the 10th...

Did you practice medicine without a license?

No, it was administrative work during the night shift.

But that day, there was only one doctor.

Get me albumin and vasopressin.

Hurry up, go quickly.

The patient was bleeding profusely during surgery.

Doctor?

He's not here.

He's in the adjacent pharmacy.

What are you doing now? Hurry up and go.

In front of someone in agony,

I couldn't do anything...

It's over, their heartbeat has stopped.

what are you doing?

Darn it.

Doctor, what should I do?

Damn it.

Even if I'm not a doctor,

shouldn't I have helped?

Right in front of me,

a life...

Takehiro, quickly go find the police.

You haven't done anything wrong.

You haven't done anything.

- Why did you come back here running away? - Ah Bang.

Ah Bang, sorry.

But,

I have nowhere else to go.

Doctor Koto,

i failed your expectations.

I let everyone down.

Though I wanted to be a doctor like you, Doctor Koto,

though we had such an agreement,

I couldn't keep it.

You've had it tough, Takehiro.

but,

just because you're not a doctor doesn't mean you can't save lives.

If you really think that way,

then you haven't become a doctor.

That's really good, then.

Takehiro,

Yes.

During the day, the police from Tokyo came.

Dad...

I…

I'm sorry.

I've always said you should become a doctor

It's my fault.

No, it's not.

no

I'm sorry.

Dad...

I'm sorry.

I…

Really sorry,

dad.

Really sorry

dad

sorry

Is that so?

If anything happens, contact me.

Takehiro went to the police station.

He's going back to Tokyo for questioning.

I see.

I said, Takehiro did nothing wrong, right?

Right.

What's wrong, Nami?

Eh? Grandma Midori, where are you now?

There's no abnormal atrial activity.

The ECG is normal too.

Let's observe for a bit.

Sorry,

for calling you over so late.

See, I told you everything is fine.

Let's schedule a cardiac catheterization for as soon as possible.

If Midori Grandma collapses, what am I going to do?

I know.

I won't die until I've personally delivered

the child of Ayaka and the doctor.

Then tomorrow, I'll make an appointment with a hospital on Honshu Island.

doctor?

Doctor.

I really want

Takehiro to become a doctor.

But this...

Maybe it's just my wishful thinking,

a selfish desire.

Ayaka.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor.

What’s wrong with you?

Mom.

Why is it that...

I've been by his side all this time,

but I didn't notice sooner...

Ayaka..

What's wrong?

Acute myeloid leukemia.

Yes.

What happened?

Why did you get this illness?

After that,

what are your plans?

I think I should go back to a city hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

I need to consult with a specialist.

Start treatment as soon as possible.

And... what about you?

I don't know yet.

But in any case, we need to act quickly.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault that you got this illness, Doctor.

Having this illness isn't anyone's fault.

I'm sorry.

Even though you're the one suffering the most.

What should we do?

We can only ask you.

It's okay.

I can diagnose and treat to a certain extent on my own.

What?

I plan to consult a specialist's opinion,

and receive targeted treatment on the island.

What are you saying?

You need to be hospitalized immediately.

This is a serious matter.

I understand, Ayaka.

But right now, I can't leave the island...

I don't want it to be this way.

To sacrifice your life and stay on the island.

No one wants this.

Ayaka

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ayaka.

Mr. Hoshino, about the clinic merger...

What?

I might not be able to take on the role of the head physician at the main clinic.

You should ask Mr. Sakano about that first.

Doctor,

don't push yourself.

Listen to me.

I'm begging you, don't push yourself.

Consider yourself more.

Also, think about me and this child.

Doctor...

Keep on living.

Keep... on... living.

Shikana Island Branch Office broadcast:

Typhoon No. 6 is approaching.

There is a possibility of heavy rain and strong winds in the afternoon.

Please island residents, prepare early.

Shoichi.

Shoichi.

Have you heard about Takehiro, that fool?

what should I do?

what's the matter?

Has something happened?

I know he's sick.

He asked me to collect bone marrow cells for testing.

I see.

So, it's leukemia.

But,

if Doctor Koto wants to stay on the island for treatment,

let's respect his wishes.

However, it won't be as effective as having a specialist treat him.

But this is the doctor's hospital.

Even though he says that,

we can't just keep a sick doctor on the island, right?

During Doctor Koto's treatment period,

could we temporarily have Doctor Hanto take over the work?

If there's no other choice, I can take over,

but how long would I have to do it for?

Though this might sound harsh,

I can't be like Doctor Koto,

staying and working on this island.

Doctor.

I don't have the medical skills that Doctor Koto possesses.

I can't perform surgeries alone,

taking care of everyone's health on the island is beyond my capabilities.

I can not do it.

But if it's just a temporary replacement for two months, I can figure something out.

Hey, what's with your attitude?

Don't expect me to take on this role. It would be better to find a more capable doctor than me.

-Nami. -Nami.

Don't say such cold words.

Just a little longer,

even if it's just half a year,

can't you stay here for a bit longer?

Doctor Koto is seriously ill. Can't you...

you just replace him...

Nami, calm down.

While I'm here, maybe this clinic can still hold on.

But what if I'm not here?

Are you planning to keep searching for other doctors?

Are you going to keep walking on this tightrope forever?

It's essentially a structural problem, isn't it?

Forcing a doctor to come to this remote island where no one wants to stay.

All the island residents rely on this doctor's conscience and self-sacrifice.

The structure of this issue itself...

I'm well aware of the problem, of course.

but,

we really have no other options.

We've faced a lot of difficulties before.

We've been searching for a doctor willing to stay on the island.

- Only then did we find Doctor Koto... - coincidentally.

It's only because we had someone like Doctor Koto

that the medical system on this island has survived for the past 20 years.

But if the doctor is gone...

Hey,

don't talk like Doctor Koto's going to die or something, you jerk.

That's not what I meant.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

Everyone has become too reliant on Doctor Koto alone.

Doctor, you're exhausted already.

That's how it is when you fall sick.

Mr. Wada, you share this view as well, right?

I'm heading over there now.

It's not the right time to worry about a typhoon.

Alright, I understand.

I got it.

Then don't worry about it.

Mr. Hoshino,

please, make sure you persuade

Dr. Koto to take care of himself.

Yes.

Amidst everything else,

prioritize the doctor's health.

Yes.

I'll try to find another doctor.

Why are you following me?

I don't want to go home.

Talking like a child.

You're not that young either.

We're around the same age.

If it were possible,

I'd want to fall sick in his place.

Don't say things like that.

Darn it.

If only Takehiro could become a doctor at a time like this.

What am I going to do about my prostate?

- I said, Mr. Shige. - What's up?

Doctor Hanto is right.

Maybe we've really relied too much on Doctor Koto.

It's okay.

Things that can be treated will be treated.

Doctor Koto saved so many lives on this island before.

It's Doctor Koto we're talking about.

How could he not be able to treat it?

It's okay.

It can be treated.

It's okay.

Is it alright to leave Grandma alone at home?

I already sent her to the shelter a while ago.

Nami, do you want to eat this?

No, thank you.

Sorry.

Do you think I'm heartless?

I don't actually think what I said was wrong.

can speak from the heart

But if I say what's on my mind, I won't have the trust of the islanders.

Doctor Hanto, have you ever really looked at a patient's face?

Even if a patient just says their knee hurts,

Doctor Koto looks at them carefully, finds the best treatment for them.

finds the best treatment for them.

Have you considered the patients' feelings like that?

It's not that it can't be done.

Maybe it's that you lack confidence in yourself.

I'm sorry.

Doctor Koto?

Yes.

Takehiro.

I'm back.

They wanted me to come back early today.

I see.

They said they want to question me more thoroughly in Tokyo later.

Takehiro, what are you planning to do after this?

This is your home.

Your room hasn't changed.

Uncle, the Shikino River is flooding.

You should go to the shelter soon too.

Miss Mariko.

Takehiro.

I'm thinking of going to the riverside now.

Takehiro.

Come with me.

About this morning, I'm really sorry.

I understand your perspective.

I get that you don't want to abandon everyone on the island.

And you're worried about the clinic.

But...

Don't keep forcing yourself alone.

For now, just consider yourself...

Ayaka.

Do you think

I haven't considered you and this child?

I don't want to die yet.

want to meet this child.

I want to be with you,

and this child.

The three of us, together,

living on this island.

I've been on this island for 20 years.

I..

Thought I understood the patients' feelings already,

but in reality,

I might

not understand at all.

It's okay.

It can definitely be treated.

I'm sure it can.

I'm going to the civil office to help out.

If you need anything, contact me.

Alright.

Landslide?

Where?

okay, got it.

The Shikina River broke its embankment.

Outage of power in Aonagi.

The fire department is heading to Nishinoyama Peak.

I'm going to request the Self-Defense Forces' assistance.

The clinic needs to be prepared too.

Hey, there's a landslide.

- We're going for rescue. - Young man, come with us.

Let's go.

Helicopters can't fly in this kind of typhoon weather.

I see.

How many injured people are there approximately?

I have no idea,

but we have to be prepared.

Should we notify Doctor Koto?

Let's find a way ourselves.

We can't let Doctor Koto work anymore.

But we need to send someone to the scene.

What should we do?

Doctor...

Ayaka.

- I'm here. - Doctor, how could you come?

- Someone has to go to the scene. - That's not okay.

Please, don't do this.

But...

I'll go.

Can't let the two of you go to the scene.

Doctor Hanto, let's go.

Alright.

We'll leave the clinic to you.

I'm leaving.

- Be careful. - Understood.

I'll go to the scene as well.

Doctor,

go confirm the inventory of plasma and antibiotics.

yes.

Nami, over here.

Miss Miyako, are you alright?

- Where does it hurt? - My arm.

Your arm?

Let me take a look.

Pass me the light.

It might hurt a little. Please bear with it.

Excuse me.

Nami.

Takehiro.

Grandfather is still inside the house.

There seems to be someone else in the house too.

Shinshu, let's go.

- Mr. Wada, give the immobilization strap to Nami. -Please.

- I'm leaving it to you. - Yes.

Please also come over here.

This way. Over here. This way.

Here they come.

Please Koto...

Doctor Hanto, please.

Alright.

please.

Doctor, you came to save me.

Um, well...

Doctor, this...

You're praising this as nice.

How's your knee?

Can you walk?

- I can't. - You can't?

I'll carry you.

Hold onto me tightly.

Alright.

Thank you for your help.

- Doctor. - Yes?

Thank you.

Thank you

Mr. Wada.

For the ones who can be transported, take them to the clinic in order.

I understand.

- Please. - Okay.

Everyone, if you can, come with me to the vehicle.

Thank you.

- Is it uncomfortable? - Yes.

- Doctor, Mr. Enomoto's injury has been treated. - Good.

- Doctor, Doctor. - I'm here, I'm here.

Ayaka, I'm relying on you for the tape.

Fukuhara, what happened?

His arm is injured.

Please hold it like this.

Don't put it down, like this.

Walk slowly.

Sit here.

- Ayaka, let's use the rooms inside as well. - Okay.

- Doctor. - Yes?

I'm sorry, could you check on him too?

Help him over there first.

If he's uncomfortable, let him lie down.

If it gets really unbearable,

don't hesitate, raise your hand quickly.

Doctor...

- My wife says she can't breathe. - Alright.

Ayaka, check Chieko's oxygen saturation.

Okay.

- Doctor. - Yes?

Takehiro.

Uncle seems to have been hit on the head.

- It looks like Miyoko's arm is fractured. - Understood.

Uncle, this is the clinic.

Wada, make a list of the patients.

- I got it. - Gently put him down.

- Lie down. - Hold on a bit.

Doctor, please.

Takehiro.

Uncle...

Let me listen to your heartbeat.

Use this cold compress.

Be careful where you step. - There are steps.

Let's sit in the chairs inside.

It's It's alright.

- A doctor will come to help you shortly. - Just take a seat first.

We need to immobilize. Get the immobilizer.

- Sure. - Confirm Mr. Enomoto's EKG; he's in the ward.

- sorry. - Nami.

- Doctor. - Yes.

Doctor, please.

Doctor, please.

Alright, I'll come over right away.

- My husband says he's in a lot of pain. - Okay.

I'll treat everyone in order. Please wait a moment.

- Mr Shige - Doctor, I'm sorry.

Mr. Shige injured his foot from a landslide.

Come over here to be examined. Please sit here.

- Doctor. - Hmm.

- This child is still trembling. - Okay.

Ayaka, can you go check on Shunsuke condition?

- I'll do the examination. - Please.

It's okay if you move me to the back.

Let's check on the child's condition first.

It's fine.

Doctor, when will it be my turn?

Alright, please wait a moment.

Patients with minor injuries that have already been bandaged,

Let's take them to the community center first.

Yes.

Doctor, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Koto, are you okay?

Yeah, what's up?

Some of the wounded have been taken to the community center.

Can someone go check on them?

Understood, I'll go.

Everyone,

Patients with minor injuries that have already been bandaged,

Let's head to the community center first.

- Mr. Hoshino. - Shige, take a seat.

Can you give this to my grandmother?

She might not have brought her medicine.

- She's at the community center, right? - Yes.

no problem.

Please.

Doctor, can you come and treat my father quickly?

Please wait a moment.

Doctor, my wife, my wife.

Doctor, is it not my turn yet?

please wait for a moment.

- doctor. - Yes.

Please come over here as well

It's alright,

everyone, don't worry.

They'll definitely save everyone.

Koto.

Doctor.

Uncle Xin has stopped breathing.

- Let's change to supine position. - Alright.

Ayaka, clear the airway.

Get ready to intubate.

yes.

Save everyone?

How is that possible?

We need to prioritize and categorize.

If we don't give up on those who can't be saved anymore...

Doctor Koto, prioritize and categorize.

Doctor Koto.

We need to save everyone.

Mariko, you've worked hard.

- How's the clinic situation? - It's all injured people.

When will the Self-Defense Force arrive?

We've been in touch all along, but due to this weather, helicopters can't fly.

I see.

Has Grandma Midori arrived?

I don't think so. I haven't seen her since I got here.

Midori went back home.

What?

She said she didn't want to stay here and insisted that the municipal office staff take her back.

Hey, hey, it seems Grandma Midori might still be at home.

What?

Can someone go check?

I'll go. Takehiro, let's go.

If you find her, let us know.

Please,

Oh no.

Grandma Midori.

Grandma Midori.

Let's go inside.

Grandma Midori.

- Granny Midori - If you're here, please answer us.

Grandma Midori.

Grandma Midori.

Grandma Midori.

Takehiro.

-Grandma Midori. -Grandma Midori.

- Grandma Midori, can you hear us? - How are you feeling?

It hurts so much, my heart...

What? Your heart hurts?

It's nothing serious.

Takehiro, we need to take Grandma to the clinic.

Grandma Midori, please don't move around.

Taketoshi.

I'm here.

- Is there anything I can do? - Taketoshi?

Sorry, Yoko suddenly felt unwell in the shelter. Can you take a look at her?

Please have a seat over there.

Sorry to bother you. Excuse me.

Grandma, Grandma, are you okay?

- Grandma Midori, can you hear us? - Grandma, Grandma.

- How does it hurt? - I don't know, it just hurts.

- where is doctor Koto? - in the operating room.

It's okay. Move her over here.

slow down.

Doctor, Grandma Midori's condition is very critical. It looks like a heart attack.

Understood. Wait a moment. CPR is still ongoing here.

Should we continue?

We can't let her go like this. We can't just let it happen like this...

Doctor Koto?

I can't let Him go like this.

Ayaka, give Grandma Midori some nitroglycerin orally.

Alright.

Ayaka, are you okay?

Ayaka, is your stomach hurting?

I'm okay, just relax.

Doctor Koto?

The plan to merge and reorganize the clinics on Shikijima and nearby islands, the draft...

Doctor Koto.

It's simply not feasible.

It's impossible.

I've been saying we can't save everyone.

Relying solely on you, how could you possibly save the entire island?

Doctor Koto is sick.

How can we let a patient be burdened like this?

Look at this, this is reality.

Saying you want to save everyone, such a miracle...

How could such a miracle happen?

Doctor.

Doctor.

Don't give up.

Don't give up.

I…

I won't give up.

Don't give up.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor Koto.

Doctor.

Uncle Xin, don't give up!

- Takehiro - Keep going!

Doctor.

Doctor, Takehiro.

Doctor Koto.

Keep going!

Doctor, take a look quickly!

Doctor, Uncle Xin's heartbeat has returned spontaneously.

- Koto. -Doctor.

Namei, Ayaka might be experiencing threatened premature labor.

Check if there's any ritodrine for injection. If not, use terbutaline as a substitute.

- It's Miss Mariko, please get ready for the blanket. -OK

Sorry, excuse me.

Doctor Hanto,

Please administer epinephrine to Uncle Xin.

Doctor Hanto.

Doctor Hanto.

Alright.

I'll go perform surgery on Grandma Midori.

Doctor, this is really pushing it too far.

I'm fine.

Compared to me...

Ayaka.

I'm okay.

Grandma Midori.

For my and Ayaka's child, I'll entrust them to you.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

- Wada, how's the blood pressure? - Systolic 94, diastolic 47.

Doctor, without a bypass machine, how are we going to perform the bypass?

Coronary artery bypass grafting.

- Doctor. - I'm fine, sorry.

Mr. Wada,

We are now beginning the coronary artery bypass surgery for Ms. Nishino Midori.

Doctor Hanto, Wada, please take care of this.

- please. - Please.

Wada, prepare the vasopressor.

Alright.

Mr. Moto, would you like to sit down and rest for a moment?

I'm fine.

- Wada, please tilt the surgical table slightly. - Yes.

Mr. Shige.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

- wada, please restore the surgical table to its original position. - Yes.

Doctor Koto.

I'll go and check. If there's anything, call me anytime.

What's wrong?

Nami.

She fell and hurt her arm.

Are your fingers tingling? Let me take a look first.

Grandma Midori.

Grandma Midori has been saved.

Begin suturing.

Relax a bit.

Takehiro, thank you. It's all good now.

Prepare to close the chest. Wada, get ready for drainage.

Understood.

Grandma Midori, I'm entrusting Ayaka to you.

Ayaka and my child.

even if

I'm not here...

Doctor.

Doctor.

The surgery has successfully concluded.

Doctor.

Go to Grandma Midori's side and keep her company.

Alright.

thank you.

Mr. Wada, Doctor Hanto,

Thank you both.

Grandma,

The doctor saved you.

That's great.

Doctor, please take care of Ayaka.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Doctor Koto.

How did the approval for the new route go?

It passed the fishing association's review.

You're truly amazing.

Alright, I understand.

Today's bento was delicious too. Thank you. Goodbye.

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

Did my wife call?

Yes, she asked me to buy milk on my way back.

What a great husband you are.

Oh, Wada, you changed your screensaver again.

You noticed, huh?

Yesterday was my youngest son's birthday.

Dad, I sent you a T-shirt. Why aren't you wearing it?

T-shirt?

How am I supposed to wear that T-shirt of yours?

Mr. Shige.

I'm wearing it.

Rika, you're doing well.

- kunio it's about time to prepare. - Got it.

- Give me the helm. - I'm counting on you.
