Hurts from the past

This episode flashes back to the case that caused Mikano to have to leave the hospital. He needed to learn empathy. I like that he wants to work on all the body rather than specialize. But he still treats it as a puzzle or machine to work or be fixed in specific ways. He is a genius with that. But where he falls flat as a physician is understanding the soul and spirit and how that relates to understanding the mindset and healing both body and mind. His perspective is being broadened and his heart is growing through these children that are letting him see their true selves that even family and teachers don’t always see or recognize. He is being let into their inner circle because in many ways he is more of a child than they are in how to communicate and understand feelings. I think this is their way of repaying him for addressing their physical needs and treating the cause not just bandaging the symptoms. This is his gift as a physician. He wants to root out what is causing the pain or affliction and truly help them heal. The dad wanting to participate in bandaging his daughter’s wounds that he helped cause is very symbolic of their mutual healing and better understanding of each other. And her conversation with her mom lets both of them know she is doing fine where she is and will learn to be happy with her circumstances even if her mom lives elsewhere. This was a powerful episode in learning how to listen to mindset and body symptoms as a unit. True healing takes place when mind and body can be at peace and rest. He is learning how to listen and feel while still keeping his brain in tune with the afflictions he sees on / in their bodies.
