Dr. Storks Episode 10

How babies change us

This episode had a baby with trisomy 16. The baby had been in NICU for 3 months and while the mother faithfully showed up with breast milk every day, they were too fearful to visit. The hospital they had visited prior painted such a dark picture they couldn’t face it. The mother finally got brave enough to peek and with a boot from Dr Shinomiya the father finally came. They decided to take their baby home and make every day memorable. Mei has reached first bday and her father is ready to send her to grandparents. His career plans are fleeing and he sees no way to fix things. He has a heart to heart conversation with Dr Konotori who shared some thoughts on what a child who lost a parent needed to know. He gave father and daughter concert tickets and the end result father chose a more realistic job that meshed with family living. A reporter came wanting to publish a story about their clinic. She was an older mom to be who had suffered through fertility assistance. Originally she was going to do a reveal piece on who ‘Baby’ really was but changed it to something more heartfelt, a picture book telling of all the families who had babies born their and their stories. Sakura learns more about his mom and how he got his name. I thought it was interesting that the administrator was his guardian growing up.dr Shimoya helped save a mother who collapsed and lot heartbeat. She is now feeling more part of the team as the young staff Dr in NICU has also matured and become more confident in his training. The Iron Lady has not returned yet. There is a Christmas concert in the hospital with Dr Konotori playing. For once the administrator doesn’t care if they figure out he is ‘Baby’. Everyone is enjoying Christmas celebrations at home or the hospital. This drama showcases many of the things encountered in the delivery room. Both good and bad. It does an excellent job balancing patients and doctors’ experiences and impressions. The music is excellent and the actors did a fine job. Production took you right to their rooms experiencing whatever happened. This drama is very emotion packed. It covers heavy topics, but leaves you with love and hope in your heart for the future. Highly recommend.
