Code Blue the third season Episode 3 notes and Story #4

[babyshazam]

We're back to the usual episode length this week, the shortest so far and yet had so many medical terminologies used. New and rare instances and treatment -- cyanide poisoning and damage control. During operating scenes, I decided to simplify the medical terms used that it is easy to read and understand as you watch. Like instead of thoracotomy (

I think even if they were apart for how many years, they still share that same simple goal when they were interns: to do everything they can to save their patients :) As for how they call each other, I just thought that yeah, it is normal for Japanese to stick to how you got used to calling each other from the start for how many years, be it last names. It's because I thought until now, Ikuta Toma has been used to calling Yamapi, Yamashita. It's endearing to a point because it connotes nothing has changed since :)

I'd say the chef if charming and yes, the positive aura helps so much in that aspect. Maybe that's what Hiyama needs, a little positivity since lately she's been stressed and all, right? And yeah, I think it's great to show Hiyama has finally gotten over her fear of patients by being ~this close~ to a patient haha who'd have thought??? I think it's sweet as well.

The entire contamination scene was awesome. How I wish there was more time to show that particular scene when the heli landed and they decontaminated the passengers of doctor heli on the heliport. It was so well done. Props to Aizawa for managing that in like what? 5 minutes, right? Then of course the Damage Control. I can't get over how on point it was a 'solution' not just to stop the bleeding of the patient but also as answer if he wants to live. The lines, delivery and execution of that scene was so moving.

Michiyo mentioned Haitani also and I forgot to talk about him in my reply so I have to include him now haha o far, I think Haitani grew more in his episode than Yokomine. While Yokomine gained confidence making judgements while on the scene and doing medical treatments, I saw Haitani, despite still evidently lacking in skill, his concern and genuine desire to be a doctor. Even if he openly expressed he questions himself if he is suited, that alone is what makes him more capable to be one. Also, didn't Shiraishi tell him then to go home? Meaning, he's been staying beyond shift hours already. And when it was his heli duty, wasn't he early in the hospital. That little bit makes him a bit close to how our senior doctors were when they were interns. (just LOL you had to mention Futaba of Ao Haru Ride, that's what I thought of too when I read Futaba was Yukimura's name, MEH! LMAO)

Last night I posted the "stiff" screencap, right? LOL so yeah I was watching Episode 1. And I was amused how Saejima "bullied" Fujikawa but instead of resenting her, I think the more he liked her, ever since. How cute lol and look at them now, about to have a baby. Fujikawa might have been a tad useless in this episode lol as he was almost basically glued to Saejima's bed but I have to commend the great acting too. The changes in his facial expression was touching. And of course, Saejima. She can be scary (like in that car scene - "What properly??") and yet she was so frail in that hospital bed, and then loving when alone with Fujikawa talking about their baby. Gawd, I really wish her happiness but I hate how they seem to have something more for her to put up to. Code Blue team, I know you need to create drama and all but hasn't Saejima been through enough?? Another thing though, the BTS shots of that scene where Aizawa was checking on Saejima's condition when she woke up in TV mags was just love. It was the 5 of them in that scene and you can see how happy they were together. It said that they were talking a lot waiting for the actual shoot. *sigh* their friendship <3

You Shinkai x Shiraishi shippers, how could you??? HAHAHA but it's such a kick to see Aizawa being all that you mentioned XD I think s drama is really doing well when even a few minutes of scenes like that result to such response from viewers. Anyway, going back to that elevator scene, everyone was just really funny. From what you said that Shinkai just practically looked at Shiraishi when she entered, all smiles that reaches to his eyes, Shiraishi basically clueless interacting with him to Aizawa looking away from them, stiff and annoyed. LMAO!

I haven't thought much what else could they have in store for us in the end because I don't want it yet to end :( Even just in the first episode, the scale was bigger than usual - the matsuri accident since they had to use triage and the doctors and interns were on location, what else could there be??

Oh I'm glad you mentioned Fujikawa and Hiyama's friendship. I wanted to talk about that too but didn't know where to fit it and then forgot about it. But I think that's something we have discussed already too in twitter, right? If Aizawa and Shiraishi are the parents of Lifesaving, they are the children. I always noticed how Hiyama's the one sensitive to Fujikawa asking him what's wrong or looking for him like in this episode, even having a drink for him (that went to Shiraishi). And yet Hiyama's the one who goes "are you stupid" to Fujikawa, lol. I remember that Lifesaving family & nurse sisters fan art, aside from the cute drawing, it was so on point :)
