Kounodori Season 2 Episode 8

Changing career paths

Dr Shirakawa had to learn the hard way. His mentor needed to leave for awhile and Dr Shirakawa assumed he was ready to be in charge. He misdiagnosed a newborn and gave her the wrong treatment for three days til a colleague called Dr Imahashi to come in. They discovered a defect rather than condition and the baby was transferred to another hospital for the operation. He is told to accompany the parents and when sneaking out of the hospital he runs into the Iron Lady. (She was a staff member season 1). She chatted with him about her mistake and taking myths off to end up working part time in pediatrics at a different hospital. Imahashi yelled at him to own his mistake and be with the parents. The baby did well in surgery, and while the mom was more forgiving the dad was done with him. He did some soul searching and when he was crying at the hospital, Imahashi told him to remember the feeling. He ultimate decision was to go into pediatric cardiology so he could learn faster and better. The team is short handed but let him go.
