The fifth episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " The 19th medical record " (Sundays at 9pm), starring Jun Matsumoto , will be broadcast on August 17th.
In the previous episode, Takino (Koshiba Fuka) confronted Anjo Kota (Hamano Kenta), who has diabetes, and his wife Sachi ( Hiroya Shimizu Kana), along with her colleague Shikayama (Fuka Koshiba).
"What patients want from us doctors is to treat their illnesses. You can't cure illnesses by being intoxicated with ideals," he told Tokushige (Mr. Matsumoto) about this realization. Tokushige kindly responded, "That's a very important step." Afterwards, Takino expressed his gratitude to Shikayama, saying, "Thank you. I'm glad we were able to treat patients together."
Chief of Surgery Togo Rikuro (Ikeda Narushi) asks Chayazaka (First Summer Uika) of the Cardiovascular Surgery Department, "The atmosphere in the hospital is clearly different from before. I'm not sure whether to see this as a change or a distortion. I'd love to hear your opinion as the next chief of surgery." Chayazaka smiles meaningfully...
Episode 5: Chayazaka is a star doctor at Uotora General Hospital, with outstanding surgical skills and a brilliant career. Her true identity is shrouded in mystery, and her private life is unknown. She is concerned about the recent changes in the atmosphere within the hospital. After learning about the past of Tokushige (Matsumoto), the man at the center of these changes, Chayazaka turns to him with a hunting-like interest.
Chayazaka's mother, Ai (Mayumi Asaka), is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. This causes something strange to happen to Chayazaka's mind and body...
Based on the manga "The 19th medical record: Akira Tokushige's Medical Interview" (Core Mix) by Katsuhito Fujiya, the story depicts a general practitioner who lends a helping hand to patients' lifestyles. The screenplay is by Aya Tsubota.
