[Discussion] Code Blue

They had to remove his hand. That fact alone is enough to traumatize anyone. Even if they managed to reattach the hand, there will always be nerve damage or loss of mobility. But Kuroda sensei is a surgeon, his hands are the most important asset to him. Sure, he might be able to spend more time with his family, but it isn't his choice anymore. He's now forced to leave his position as a surgeon and since he really loves his job, I'm sure he's not going to be happy about that.

As for Aizawa, I'm sure his goal is to be the top surgeon, but by being so at someone else's expense probably isn't how he wanted to do it. He cares for Kuroda sensei too and I'm sure he doesn't want to lose a mentor. He's skilled but still young and has a lot to learn. I don't think he'll be able to be attending surgeon anytime soon because it takes years and years of experience before he's really ready.

And it's a great loss for the hospital as well.

But anyways, I'm only speculating. We'll just have to wait for episode 9 to really see how everyone is affected by this turn of events.

I've already said that I'm getting mad at Shiraishi for being the way she is and as much as I can understand her pain and suffering, it's even more painful to see that only Morimoto-sensei and Kaji-san tried to offer their support (kind of) to Aizawa who, after all, is the one who had to chop Kuroda's arm off. Shiraishi's panic attack which prevented her from boarding the heli was pretty extreme but Aizawa is probably just as freaked out as she is, he just knows how to keep his cool a lot better, methinks. But this doesn't mean he doesn't need the support....aww...I could go on forever about this...

The whole committee thing was a little overboard and I really wanted to cause some pain to that lawyer for the horribly nasty things he kept saying about the Fellowship. But hey, that was the inteded effect so here you go.

I found it a little odd seeing Kuroda-sensei's ex-wife being portrayed by the same actress who played Hayase-san in Kurosagi but it's okay. I guess Yamapi said 'Hisashiburi desu ne?' when he's seen her on the set! ^_^

And now Kuroda-sensei's son has that tumor thingy in his brain...no wonder he lost his cool in front of Saijo-sensei! Anybody would. I did find it cruel what he said to Shiraishi which made her run out in the rain...

Speaking of that scene and even though I'm not into the pairing, I was kind of hoping that Aizawa would hug her or something...but again, this is a drama so it's to be expected...

And the next eppy: that huge accident looks like it's going to cause trouble and I'm happy to see that Shiraishi was in the heli so she's recovered her fear. And Aizawa's granny seemed to remember him??? That's majorly interesting too, I hope Aizawa will have some sort of happy ending too.

the little girl was soo cute..I liked how Aizawa dealt with her..it shows that he changes a bit, when he said that he want both of them to be saved..he really cared about the patient this time.

and I loved the scene where the little girl cried after hearing that the operation was successful. I just kept crying with her T.T

the end was a shock for me. I feel sorry for Kuroda-sensei..wonder how he will deal with his current situation T.T

If you get a chance, go back and watch ep1. I don't know if was a forth shadowing or not on the field arm amputation that was done. But Kuroda-sensei did trust that Aizawa can do the job from what he had seen before. Even thought in ep1, the amputations had to be done on two young people, the medical staff reaction were totally different. Since it was done to someone so close to them.

Shiraishi is getting on my nerve, she just like... stood there panicking and stuff when the others were trying to help.. well cutting off his hand but.. blah.

my number 1 question would be: what did kuroda say to shiraishi in the last part when she ran out into the rain?

what was aizawa so worried about?

and, last, what was the board meeting thing all about?

I'm still having some trouble standing Shirashi, but after ep. 8 I really felt bad for her. Poor girl... I was really annoyed by her, but I guess they had to have her acting that reckless or else that situation wouldn't happen... And I think her panicked state is only natural. She is overburden with guilt. I mean, usually, you will feel bad when something goes wrong when you're in charge, but this time, the worst scenery appears, and she was the one to blame. Poor girl...

I didn't like the little girl but I liked the interaction between her and Aizawa. But the girl playing her was really impressive. They're good, the Japanese kiddos, at acting. HK kids can't act for 5 pennies.... (or the HK producers don't care if the kids are convincing or not).

I kind of like the way Aizawa is comforting people, well, sometimes at least. How he understands people's pride, he doesn't show his pity, more talking about other stuff but yet referring to the main problem. That scene with the nurse in the helicopter... I was like "what is he saying?? Can you really talk like that? Are you comforting her or what?" It's not the common "moral speech" like how you can be better, or how it isn't your fault or such like that. He's merely saying, "you're selfish, I'm too. That's how life is. Accept it."
It's like he's scolding her, and I think that she wanted to hear that. Her crying afterward seemed like a releasing cry.

Yeesh... couldn't Aizawa just have hugged Shirashi at the end of ep. 9?
*roles eyes*

Everything is perfect before this episode! Things come in, the doctors save the people, we learn something from it and the episode ended quite perfectly.

But Shiraishi is irritating the heck out of me in episode 8. Don't be mistaken though, I love Gakki. But her role in Code Blue is not someone who we will be in favor with. She's so weak in the beginning already. But I guessed I could understand that. Her face just spelt something alone the line with frail and feeble.

But, she was letting herself getting overpowered with the sense of guilt. She over panicked and couldn't think straight. Maybe she's linking this with the nightmare earlier.

Sigh, I just hoped she could pull herself up a little more. She can't be like this forever. ><" And now what? Does she needs a counselor because of the events that took place?
