The ninth episode of Fuji TV's Monday Getsuku drama "Delinquent to Doctor " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on Getsuku. The shocking statement made by Nakata, the head of the neurosurgery department played by Osamu Mukai, at the end of the episode attracted attention on social media.

Ogawara (Otsuka Nene), the director of Odaiba Bayside Medical Center, is concerned about Nakata, who has not performed surgery since his last surgery on Miyamura Arisa (Yuyama Niina).
Arisa was a patient whom Koonami (Hashimoto) had treated when he was working at a hospital in Gifu, and with a view to a long-term treatment period in mind, he had written a referral letter to Nakata at the Odaiba Bayside Medical Center, which was convenient for outpatient visits. However, after Nakata performed surgery on Arisa, she was transferred to another hospital, and passed away six months ago.
Okawara called Nakata into the conference room and showed him Arisa's letter of introduction. He questioned, "This was written by Dr. Tagami, who was in Gifu, to Dr. Nakata, whom she trusted. But she didn't write anything like this. Did you forge this? Were you trying to distance yourself from me in order to cover up this fact?"
Nakata admitted that this was true and confessed, "It's my fault that Miyamura Arisa died. I killed her." At this point, Koonami, who had been listening to their conversation outside the room, came running out and demanded, "What do you mean, Nakata-sensei killed her?", at which point the broadcast ended.
On social media, the topic was a hot topic, with comments such as, "At the end, Nakata Sensei killed someone?! I can't wait for next week!", "I think Nakata Sensei is just saying he killed someone because he felt responsible," "This is just my own speculation, but I'd like to believe that Nakata Sensei didn't 'kill someone', but 'he couldn't help them'," and "Nakata Sensei, please stop carrying so much on your own."
The drama is a medical entertainment about a young delinquent girl, Koonami Tagami, who studies hard after her best friend dies in an accident and becomes a neurosurgeon, bringing a breath of fresh air to the medical field. The script is written by Nonji Nemoto, who also wrote the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi," in which Hashimoto starred.
