stat IS now

i finished watching code blue. (i am such a sucker for medical dramas Xp)

and here are my thoughts: !!SPOILERS.

... it took us two years before we were able to have hospital duties and wear scrub suits, that's why sometimes i feel like these actors are lucky indeed. they never had formal trainings in schools but they were able to wear scrub suits, enter operating rooms, do 'mock' operations and ride helicopters.
i bet those real nihonjin ER interns are hating that yamapi et al rode the heli without attending medical school.

... aragaki yui is so young-looking to be an intern and generally to be a doctor. she is so kawaii and her voice is so soft that i never really took her seriously as a doctor. plus her bangs, i hope she can tie it up or clamp it, i am so bothered by it.

... i thought this series will be yamapi sreen time fiesta. but not as much as i expected. and most of the time it was aragaki yui i'm seeing.

... i found code blue as a mix of house md, grey's anatomy and iryu.

*house md - because of the munchausen case (which, bragging aside, i guessed that diagnosis right away. LOL)

*grey's anatomy - because of what happened to kuroda-sensei. THAT IS SO GREY'S ANATOMY. a surgeon losing his most beloved arm.

*iryu - they tackled each of the intern's life. a conflict with this sensei's life this episode, then with that sensei the next episode. except for erika toda's character.. she had no family conflict and no grave medical attachment..

... i nearly cried, well actually, i cried. because the cold-hearted aizawa-sensei cried when he was moved by his beloved obachan's words.. and when kenichi called kuroda-sensei 'otuousan'. awww, such moving scenes. T_T

... curly yamapi, i mean aizawa-sensei, forgot to put a sterile cap on when he did an emergency on-site operation. (that's no good.. aseptic technique is a rule.)

... i don't know how hospital management works in japan but i find it pretty confusing that the ER doctors are also doing surgical operations. i mean, as far as i know, cases that concerns ER only revolves around ER. when a patient needs an operation, he is passed on to the surgeons of the OR. minor surgeries are the responsibilities of ER senseis.

... mmmm how was yamapi's acting abilities as the doctor who posses a strong facade and unwavering determination? i think it's in between excellent and very satisfactory. sure i saw the cold-hearted doctor in him, but i think i'm missing something, which i cannot identify. i give props though, because it was well explained why he was a cold-hearted, hardworking doctor.

... i didn't like that in episode 9, i never saw shiraishi-sensei apologize to kuroda-sensei. i mean, if it were me, i am in great remorse. i would only ask for apology again and again and again. i know it isn't right, but i only blamed her about what happened to kuroda-sensei. i saw her remorse but i didn't hear her apologize immediately to kuroda-sensei.

... saijou-sensei said the most truthful line that is so appropriate for the medical field:
'i cannot guarantee that. The only one who can do something like that is God.'
and
'you guys think that medicine is almighty? a doctor is not God. there isn't really that much we can do. whether the world is unreasonable or, whatever it is, you have to understand that there are some things in this world you just have to accept.'

... i'm sorry to say though that i still like iryu more than code blue. i don't know why, probably it's the musical score. and iryu dealt into patient's lives more than the doctor's lives.

... i wish there'll be a doctor heli as well here in manila. and wards like that for all public hospitals here. hmmmm

this dorama, for me, is still worth watching for anyone who craves for medical dramas, and for anyone just wanting a go for drama.
