Code Blue the third season Episode 5 notes, thoughts and Story #6
Episode 5. The heavily warned episode that will make you cry. Did it? Episode 5 was one of my favorites in Season 1 (gas explosion episode where Aizawa did an aorta clamp on the scene) and in Season 2, it was so depressing with Satoshi's death and now?? Another heart breaking episode T__T
First off, I just noticed when I was watching again last night after VSA that there was one line missing during the conversation of Yokomine and Kurata's wife. I actually saw it was missing when I was rechecking the subs and I inserted it through the Subtitle Editor but somehow it gets deleted when I save? IDK why :( maybe because I started the sentence with a number. So anyway, the missing line is:
"In 2009, when there was a landslide on Mt. Gakurai"
Some medical terms used in this episode.
hypoxic encephalopathy - brain damage from lack of oxygen
*Aizawa's findings of Yoshizaki because he drowned for a long time
McDonald surgery - also known as cervical cerclage or cervical stitch is a treatment for cervical incompetence when the cervix starts to shorten and open too early during a pregnancy causing either a late miscarriage or preterm birth
*the treatment Hiyama tried to save Saejima's baby
cervical atony / incompetency - medical condition of pregnancy in which the cervix begins to dilate (widen) and efface (thin) before the pregnancy has reached term.
*cause of Saejima's early childbirth and miscarriage
***********
Episode 5 focused on pain which also touched on friendship, partnership and the sense of responsibility. I don't know about the others but with Code Blue, if you don't cry because of the severity of the situations or being moved with the lines, I just cry how beautiful this drama is. Cheesy I know XD
So yeah, the episode centered on pain. The pain of losing someone, the pain of not knowing how to ease someone else's pain, the pain of feeling responsible over someone else's pain and also the pain of admitting one's mistakes.
Here are the interesting points (and questions) again for me:
- Everything about Saejima and her baby was just heartbreaking. From her collapsing in the ER to the operation in the treatment room to her finally being able to find food delicious again to her final trip with her 'child'. What I find beautiful here is that Saejima finally knew the importance of one's 'family' and treasuring it. She's been used to only having her work as the permanent thing but she has Fujikawa now! Her breakdown in the room while eating was realization but on that ride home, she had her resolve.
- Patients get saved by doctors but doctors learn something in return from their patients too. At first, Aizawa didn't know how to respond to Fujikawa when he spoke helplessly about Saejima but we saw like Aizawa, how Kurata's wife has just stood by him all these years. And so, Aizawa was able to learn what marriage should be about despite being unmarried. Same with Natori. Kurata was able to instill in him the sense of responsibility that comes with their jobs. Natori may still be conflicted if he really wants to be a doctor but in that situation, he functioned as a doctor thus making him liable.
- Marriage views. Don't you think what Aizawa and Shiraishi said was just beautiful and actually deep? To think they are unmarried. On the contrary, Hiyama's is it more fun to be alone makes you think as well. Two opposing sides shown.
- Hiyama still doesn't call the interns by their names!!! LMAO Shiraishi already mentioned Natori then Hiyama launches in the story with "on location, the intern..." I wonder now if she's already doing it on purpose XD
- Shinkai is really touchy with Aizawa??! I can't with his acting close to Aizawa XD
- What is a good thing to say to a friend? Especially to someone in pain. For Fuijkawa, he needed that talk given by Aizawa since he basically asked for it. For Saejima though, sometimes you just have to show you're there and you don't even have to touch on the actual subject. Just like what Shiraishi and Hiyama did. They took off Saejima's mind momentarily and made her laugh (at the expense of Shiraishi XD). Those two consecutive scenes were just heartwarming and UGH I love those 5 so much. Please make them all happy in the end please?
- Interns dynamics improving? Haitani likes Yokomine? Yokomine's talkative (lol) and like Shiraishi, I still can't understand Natori much but I know in this ep, it took a lot on him to admit his miss. I mean, how many times did he just end up walking out??

STORY #6 (2017.8.14 MON UPDATE)
Because of Aizawa Kousaku (Yamashita Tomohisa) and Shinkai Hiroki (Ando Masanobu), Amano Kanade's (Tanabe Ririka) surgery safely ended. However, when Shiraishi Megumi (Aragaki Yui) asks Shinkai about it, the enunciation was quite bad. Kanade's parents seem to understand the result of the surgery however... On the other hand, a 17 year old high school male student has been given a diagnosis of brain death. That implies to Tachibana Keisuke (Shiina Kippei) that the potential heart transplant for his son Yuusuke (Kiyama Ryuusei) has probably come. With cardiovascular doctor Inoue Nobuaki's (Takito Kenichi) identification, Tachibana reins himself not to hold expectations.
At that time, there was a collapsing load accident in a cold storage warehouse. Shohoku Lifesaving Center receives the request for the dispatch of Doctor Heli. Aizawa, Fujikawa Kazuo (Asari Yousuke) and Yukimura Futaba (Baba Fumika) head towards the location. In order to preserve the commodities, electrical power of the freezers were not cut off so in the coldness, Fujikawa and company start medical treatment. Transporting the patient to the ER, Fujikawa exchanges with Haitani Shunpei (Narita Ryo) and Yokomine Akari (Araki Yuko).
Haitani and company, under the instruction of Aizawa, head towards the casualty in the freezer. They start treatment but before long, electricity got cut off and in the dark freezer, Haitani, Yokomine and the injured worker get locked in. With the lighting strike as the cause of power outage, restoration will take as much as 2 hours. Furthermore, as there is still the possibility of another lighting strike, Doctor Heli is unable to fly... In the middle of that, outside the freezer, the condition of the patient examined by Aizawa suddenly changes. Moreover, inside the freezer, Haitani and Yokomine finds one more worker who is heavily bleeding. With just the 2 interns dealing with this situation what must they have to do...
