The 97th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto , was broadcast on February 18th, and viewers were drawn to the expression shown by the doctor Morishita (Toru Baba) who examined Masato (Yukiya Kitamura).
In episode 97, the saint, who is feeling unwell with his stomach, is worried about the results of his biopsy and is restless. He consults Yui (Hashimoto-san), saying, "I know someone from your father's life. He had a gastroscopy at the hospital. It seems that he had a sore on the mucous membrane of his stomach. Now he's going to have a biopsy to see if it's malignant... Do you know what kind of disease it is?"
When Yui replied, "Maybe it's a stomach ulcer... or stomach cancer," Masato panicked, saying, "Which? Which is it?!" When Yui realized that she was talking about Masato himself, she encouraged him, saying, "I know you're thinking about all sorts of things, but for now, we'll just have to wait for the results, Dad."
Later, Yui visits Morishita and reveals that Masato is her father. She asks, "I think they're doing a biopsy now, but how does it look from your perspective?" Morishita's expression clouds over for a moment, and he answers, "I can't tell you about the condition of the patient unless I get the patient's consent. You know that as a medical professional, right?"
Morishita's expression in this scene has raised concerned voices on social media, such as, "Is Masato at fault after all?", "This is significant," "This is serious," "I could tell from Morishita-sensei's expression for just a moment...," "I wonder if it is stomach cancer after all," and "I hope I was just imagining how serious Morishita-sensei's expression looked."
