Last Hope at Ninth Episode
Mar. 19th, 2013 10:03 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Yes!!! 2 episode to go! Kinda sad, but we all wanna know what's going on right? I was supposed to do this over the weekend but I got distracted... thanks to the everywhere is sold out to pre-order DVD saga (you know which DVD it is). Only 1 boyband will crash cdjapan site every time they release something. My brother tried to order something around the same time and was confused on why cdjapan suddenly not working? Something wrong? Now he knows why LOL... and also because I marathon-ed 'Dinner.' It's been awhile I saw food drama which are not... flat *hint Nobunaga no Chef*.
OK, so what do we have in 9th Episode. All mysteries starts to unveil but... still cryptic for lots of parts and especially without English subs... it's worse! I realise something... I thought Epi 6 was the worse, then I thought Epi 7 was even worse, and Epi 8 and now... Epi 9 has even bigger words than those previous episodes! What's wrong this drama? It's as if it has a mission to make me learn all those medical words that I'll definitely forget after this drama is done!


Since we've run through all the doctors' past, starting from this episode, the first scene has nothing to do with the topic of the day.
So, cute doctor is trying to find more info around her dad's research through Komaki sensei based on daddy's memo. She wanted to verify some details of the memo. Komaki sensei told her that he's seen this before. It's something to do with genetic engineering (I don't understand the rest of it), and it's from the Saito couple's research but seems that their research points on the analytical process were not clear then (?). Why is that? Because the accidental product was born... (me: masaka....). Then, Komaki sensei stopped explaining though. And Tachibana sensei has 1 more thing to say, and it's regarding what Komaki sensei is currently doing and it's related to his deceased son.


Bitchy reporter shows up again! And turn out Tachibana sensei is the reason of her dad's incident? And it's an unforgettable incident for the bitchy reporter... oh DRAMA!!!


So we have a new patient, a VIP, Machida Electronics' president himself. Pretty doctor knows his news well. Apparently everybody read the president's book and Tachibana sensei as well, much to pretty doctor's amusement.


Product placement! So, the president has pancreatic cancer. The tumor is a difficult one. So basically pretty doctor is saying that CT scan normally doesn't catch this type of tumor until it's too late, which is quite true from what I know as well (now you know how I try to link the words together hahaha) and the chance of survival after 5 years (or more than... omg, subs where are you???) is low.
So, basically the team task is to create miracle on how to fix this cancer.
And the best thing, the patient itself only know he's brought into the hospital because they found a polyp.


So, Takagi sensei's scouting session was done in the US. Apparently Takagi's Sendai accident case is cleared by the ethics committee (?) Takagi sensei know what he's doing during the accident and instead he got a 'thanks' from the patient. He kept on playing the 'what if' scenarios but couldn't find the answer. And head center launched his recruiting punch line: why not go back to Japan and find out?


And they met the patient. Takagi still managed to flirt in a split second with Tachibana sensei scoffed on him LOL.
The president seems to be a nice person and as told before, he only knows about the polyp and..


pretty doctor convincingly explain to patient that we cannot underestimate a polyp, that's why everybody was worried.


The son was obviously concern. OK more info, the tumor is 4cm big. Takagi basically explained that the operation can be difficult and cause bleeding, which is the same as the last doctors' explanation. So, to add on problem, it could lead to pancreatic diabetic (such word exists!). Phewww, that's the main point of it.
Son insisting the doctors to not give up on daddy and the last hope line goes to... Takagi sensei!!! LOL If the look can kill, look at the way pretty doctor glare at Takagi sensei after he stole the line haha...


Last hope pleading over the phone (look back previous epi) but the doctor didn't know what it is. So, there's another small boy, with big stomach. But Saito couple only had 1 kid. Well, there's a lot of rumor that it's not a kid obtained morally (me: masaka...) and there's no clarity on that because Saito Hitomi died. One small detail was that the head center hummed during difficult operation.... er.... sounds familiar?
Cannot stop admiring the side profile, the nose... oh so straight...


Not gonna explain this scene, too many words... head center just want to make sure that his team creates miracle...
So as usual they're discussing the treatment plan. They have come up with 2 plans, the protecting and attacking plan (something like that)... Takagi is recommending to do blood vessel baypass considering there's chance of bleeding then quickly do the surgery... but the risk is super huge. Tachibana sensei only cared whether it can't be done. Hatano sensei raised his hope up but Takagi waver and everybody were disappointed, ha! Another problem, it's the VIP they're operating on, no kidding! The pressure!


3pm and pretty doctor naturally bring the dessert and we have the dessert eating scene back! this time it's mango pudding (the dessert looked a bit plain to my disappointment, but pretty doctor eating it certainly doesn't look plain haha).
So the discussion goes back to iPS treatment (look back to couple episodes back).
This time we're back to epi 1 where Hatano got his inspiration from the dessert he ate, and he managed to annoyed Takagi. So the main point is that 'take out and put back in.' It's like self internal organ transplant where they take out the piece of the pancreas, clean it from the tumor and put back? Make any sense? Found the word for it: Autologous transplantation.
OK, the rest of it... wait for subs... spent 2 hours already and it's just 20 minutes of the episode...


Pretties... Takagi sensei is an ikemen too...


Confrontation! So, Soejima let Takagi know that he knew about Takagi's history. Seojima was basically telling Takagi don't blame too much on himself. Whether her death was right or wrong, is not the interest. The possible treatment medicent was available abroad but still under approval process in Japan. Takagi argue that the outcome maybe the same (?) but Soejima emphasized that the choice was not there in the first place. Wow, Soejima is deep. He has the vision and he already had the plan.


Soejima was proposing to Takagi to join his vision? In exchange to research funding...
See, Soejima was also picking on Komaki's research, what is he doing this for...


Aha, so he's the brother... K, big brother doesn't care about what to do with daddy...


I know for sure the hospitals in my country and even SG don't provide treatment explanation in hardcopy and with NICE GRAPHICS! Those chart looks so easy to follow! Is this the norm in Japan?


Pretty doctor is poking over the big brother with his pretty smile and that irritated Takagi haha...
So, family relationship is bad? So basically big brother left house after high school and not talking to daddy...
Is he disowned? (wow, pretty doctor? how nosy can you be?)
Basically big brother didn't care whether daddy live or not, and ask doctor to ask little brother for any decisions moving forward...


Bureaucrats!!! Praise the plan but give the work to the other doctors' teams...


These 2 toad doctors!!! I wouldn't want to be operated by these 2 non competent looking doctor (not to mention NOT PRETTY)... Head center not happy!!


And the only one getting work up with the decision is only Takagi... the rest were indifferent, and worse... so long the patient can get well, who cares about office politics, wow, how admirable! If only all doctors think the same way, the hospital will be a better place!


So that means Takagi being petty? hahahaa... poor Takagi, Soejima probably just thought, we don't have to bear the risk of failure during operation, so all is good!


Pretty doctor behind the blinds... even blinds couldn't hide that prettiness.. LOL
Toad doctors were busy sucking up and taking other people's credit but this happy scene won't last long because it's medical suspense entertainment drama!!!


err.... Tachibana sensei finally reached out to Saito's son... so why he knew about Tachibana sensei's daddy accident?
What did Saito-san said that time? Drama nicely cut that portion for the next episode? Cliffhanger!!!!


Pretty doctor really liked to poke on cute doctor whenever he had a chance.
So nosy pretty doctor was still curious about the relationship between president daddy and the big brother while cute doctor only cared that the OP went well...
Poking start with the same M.O... why Tachibana sensei became the 'Machine.' Did it got to do with daddy's incident?
Tachibana sensei told him it's got nothing to do with him so don't mind her. But he mind! because they work together bla bla bla... and served him right when Tachibana sensei told him off that what did he understand about her.
Uh-oh! Something bad had happened...


Guess this is what happen when you try to take credit for other people's work! Serve you right toad doctors! And they couldn't even explain to the patients on what had happened that the son just called in the pretty and cute doctor because apparently he realized who can do the job better! Total face slapping here!


Hatano sensei's ear... are they really that good? It sounds unreal? How did pretty doctor know it's pancreatitis just by listening?

ok, i have no idea what is interstitial pneumonia (can't find in English google either)and it's also affecting the lungs... leading to the lungs to numb (omg, it's not making any sense) and now the patient only have 50% of survival...


OK now we know how pretty doctor know it's pancreatitis. it's from the velcro (apparently it's a ripping sound) sound.


ok too many big words that the fujitv glossary doesn't even bother to list them down... wait for the subs guys... they're discussing over options etc, the standard discussion in this drama, just that the vocab is getting bigger and bigger.


So, now they're planning to tell daddy president the truth. The patient has the right to know, anyway.
I wonder what had happened between the dad and the first son, obviously daddy still worried about him...


Oh, apparently there's somebody who want Komaki sensei to stop his experiment... Komaki sensei is being honest now, he want to see his son again...Tachibana sensei criticizing Komaki sensei? What's the connection between Tachibana sensei and Komaki sensei's experiment? Subs... where are you???


Who's calling Tachibana sensei? Daddy?


Oh? Tachibana sensei notice the brooding face of pretty doctor and make a comment on it. And pretty doctor doesn't wanna lose either by commenting her face is also stuffed (?) oh, they're fussing over the treatment for Machida president. Pretty doctor just scoffed cute doctor off that it's not that simple.


Have anybody notice that Hatano sensei has A LOT of bags? I didn't go back and relook every episodes, but I think he uses different bag every time and this one is the coolest. He looks kakkoii here LOL, more like a model than a doctor... pretty!!!


It must be painful T__T. I hope big brother made up with president daddy. He actually cared about daddy.


Pretty doctor, don't brood when you're doing rock climbing and this is much higher than in VSA no? You'll bound to fall...




Oh, in that operation memory, there's another person and he's humming... the humming again... remember the earlier interrogation with the other doctor?


Lots of caps because both brothers are... pretty! They deserve to be capped!


See, told you!

Cliff hanger!!! 'All the answer exist inside my body, right?' FujiTV, you've learned better to attract viewers for Epi 10, eh?
Can't wait! FujiTV please don't disappoint me with anti climax!!! This is a good drama!
OK, so what do we have in 9th Episode. All mysteries starts to unveil but... still cryptic for lots of parts and especially without English subs... it's worse! I realise something...
