Dr Shimoya learns from patients

Dr Shimoya delivered a baby in the hallway and even tho cord around neck the baby and mother safe and sound. As a female ob/gyn she was getting more requests. One patient complained of pain and bloating but she didn’t think a serious matter. The next day, she was leaking amniotic fluid and had to be in complete bedrest. There is a new ‘iron lady’ added to Neo natal team. While Dr Shimoya said it was hard to determine miscarriage symptoms, the Iron Lady played hardball and really countered her hard about going by what she thought and missing symptoms. The young couple was given two horrible choices, to terminate the pregnancy or to try to get to 25 weeks and understand any number of physical defects could occur. They were given barely 50% chance the child would survive. They had been married ten years and did not want to give up on the baby, so it was decided that even at w3 weeks they would try and an emergency C-section was performed. Both mother and son survived. The baby was named Daichi and the father was so determined to be there for him. To see those little fingers grasp his father’s finger. A few days later, the same, little fingers wrapped tightly around mother;s fingers. Dr Shimoya questioned herself so hard. She was not sure she recommended the right course of action. She asked Sakura if he too ever questioned himself as a doctor. He surprised her by immediately saying of course because he is also human. The baby is a fighter. They are waiting to see if he will survive the first week. All the doctors are hovering around this very small being. A small body with big spirit. Dr Shinomaiya was by his unconscious patient wishing he had been a better doctor. This drama shows the other side of the bad questions. The doctors must provide the most accurate information and then leave it to the parents to decide. After their fateful decision, the doctors must respect it, and do the best they can for all parties concerned. This is a hard reality with this vocation choice. It holds the best and worst of times juxtaposed in the same room. It is beauty and tragedy, joy and sorrow, with all of life’s complexities circling through. It brings out the best and worst of our spirit and character. But, God willing we move forward and learn from it. To do better and to appreciate the time we have. This drama deals with a lot of harsh realities. But it does an excellent job of giving us hope for today and the future as well. Komatsu has demanded a song on piano from Sakura to cheer them both up. It was a lovely way to end their shift. The next episode seems to deal with teen pregnancy.

Grain rain vale

These two finally get a private moment and Feng Qi is jealous. He goes to the Preceptor and agrees to help with their plan. They kinda left out the whole ‘processed’ part intended for Tingyan.😝 I am not sure what they added to her ankle or if it is her anklet from Jiao acting up, but it is adding to his troubles healing. He refuses to tell her and lets her eat drink and be merry in Grain Rain Vale. The refreshing part of this place is that the leaders truly just want her company and to see how she is doing. There are no hidden agendas. They just want her to have a good visit. Feng Qi sees them as a couple there. It would be more believable if she would have even noticed any of his overtures to the children and villagers. She is not particularly wrapped up in Jiao either. But she is comfortable in his company and just trusts that. Ine surprise is the Preceptor changing his fate from demon lord death. He didn’t grant life, but an opportunity to be spared if fate allowed and his fish showed up. She saw him as a dying child and offered aid. I don’t think she ever once considered him anything other than a friend/brother. Ruling is trying to tell him he should stay her friend and that it was obvious who she was most interested in. He refuses to give up hope and will be unnecessary trouble for them all.😝 This is second drama he does this. Hope he gets different roles in future or I may start getting annoyed just seeing his face in the drama.😝😂I like how they both wear the rings and don’t think of hiding them or taking them off. They are invited and received as a couple. She is starting to astral travel again so Jiao keeps boundaries up so she will be safe. This time she is not angry or feeling confined. This episode starts and ends with a pool scene. I hope she recognizes he needs som cool relief from her soon. He really isn’t doing so well. The thing that shines through is their commitment to each other regardless of where , name or habits. I am pretty positive he will always recognize her. She has more powers against her than she can beat right now, so I still have doubts with her tho it will not be of her doing. Shi has already scrambled her brains once and with demon assistance, I don’t see him not capable of doing it again. That is sad to admit, but there is still a big battle stirring up and right now, Jiao is pushing himself too hard with minimal assistance. His well meaning snake isn’t speaking up to the right people. They are going to have to trick her in removing her anklet and Feng Qi is going to let himself be the key to that venture. He has reason to idolize her, but he really has no clue where he really is in the scheme of things.
