Dr. Storks Episode 2

Life and death choices

The young mom brought in had done all possible to protect the baby. This resulted in a horrible head injury for her. The emergency doc was all for saving the mom and Dr Sakura was for the baby. This episode centered around the horrible choice of the husband as to which patient to focus on….mother or child. Prior to this there is another mother on bedrest who wants more children. Dr Shinomiya was all about removing the uterus. While it was the easiest choice for safety of the mother, he was pretty callous in his remarks. There was another mom to be reducing her smoking habit. He told her she didn’t deserve to be a mom. Here I appreciated Dr Komatsu showing her via pamphlet how her smoking hampered baby’s growth and her habit could kill them both. She calmly explained it and told her not to be scared but to understand the risks she was causing herself and unborn child. She then requested a new doctor. Dr Grumpy does not feel inclined to apologize..his argument…rude and capable or nice and not.😝😝 The woman with head injury had left a recording for husband…that she finally learned there was something more precious than your own life. The love for your child. This gave the husband the strength to fight for his child tho he was absolutely devastated at the loss of his wife. I liked the dignity given to the patient from the doctors in sewing up the mother in respect and presenting her child to her. Even Dr Grumpy paid his respects. Dr Konotori took it hard as well since this was similar to his birth circumstances. He goes to the club and plays melancholy music to vent his sorrow. Dr Grumpy is again reading to the unconscious boy that has something to do with a surgery going very wrong. The ER doc is out with the group having a meal and is told the widower appreciated his efforts to keep his wife’s heart beating so their daughter could be born. She is named Mei and his goal is to make her feel happy to be alive every day. Hope from tragedy.
