S1, E5: Kita decides to take on the heart surgery of Miyamura, who has been voluntarily discharged from Eiroku University Hospital. However, it is a highly difficult operation, and the surgeon will be Kita's number one student, Ichiro Tori. Kita says he still cannot hold the scalpel. Miyamura is admitted to Fuchinan Memorial Hospital and is introduced to Tori, but he most wants to meet Kita. However, Kita continues to refuse. Eijiro returns to Eiroku University, where his position is further strained by his defiance against Professor Fujii. His part-time job at Seido Hospital to earn living expenses comes to an end due to pressure from the university. His work at Internal Medicine Department 1 has also dried up, and the next place of internship refuses to accept him and harasses him.
