Haitani Shunpei

Has anybody watched Code Blue 3? Lately I really into this dorama, I like this dorama so much. This Code Blue 3 dorama has a really good storyline which is moved me a lot. As all of us know, Code Blue season 3 actually contained many stories in it; every physicians in this dorama has their own story, their beautiful touching story. One of those stories was Haitani sensei’s story.

It is late, I know; but I really want to write something about the dorama, and this time I want to write about this Haitani sensei. Why Haitani sensei? Because I found me in him; I just like him, clumsy. Haitani sensei was so clumsy, however, he brave enough to face his clumsiness; maybe I am not as good as him. Little Haitani Shunpei once saved by “doctor helicopter team” and this inspired him to be doctor helicopter himself.

Haitani Shunpei was one of three intern physicians in doctor helicopter’s team. In the third episode of Code Blue there were three new fellow physicians joined the emergency team that was Naotori Soma, Yokomine Akari and Haitani Shunpei. Once you saw Haitani sensei, you would realize immediately that Haitani sensei was not as confident as Naotori sensei nor Yokomine sensei the other fellows. Haitani sensei has a bit more nervous than others. Even, he once said that he always start everything a bit late than others out of his hesitation.  

On episode 7, if I am not mistaken, it was when Haitani was hurried the pilot to the accident place (according to the rules the doctor was not supposed to rushed the pilot, it broke the rules) at that time the helicopter was not landed safely and to completed the sad story, one of the patient could not be saved. Because of these event “doctor helicopter” activity was suspended for two weeks and the helicopter’s team who was on duty that day was withdrawn from “doctor helicopter” activity. Haitani sensei was so upset, to himself; he marked himself as a failure doctor, and furthermore he made everybody in trouble. “It was because Haitani sensei was so worried with the patients. Everybody felt it too, the feeling wanted to save the patient as soon as possible” was what Shiraishi sensei said to Haitani sensei when he asked why it was not just him to be blamed; he was the one who rushed the pilot and the accidents happened.

It was one of the hardest moment for Haitani sensei, he doubted his capability as a doctor. He was even trying to commit suicide by jumping from the balcony of the hospital. Thanks to emergency team, Haitani sensei was saved. Since that day, he asked to be withdrawn from the helicopter’s doctor team; he even asked to be moved to other section. Shiraishi sensei, indeed withdrawn him from helicopter’s doctor team but Haitani sensei still in emergency team.

One day Haitani sensei have a talk with Shiraishi sensei, Haitani said, “Because doctor helicopter has helped a lot of people, I want to be a doctor, that’s why I am here. I wonder, will I be?” At that very moment Haitani sensei thought to quit as a doctor. However, Shiraishi sensei told him a story about herself once she was in internship like him; she made mistakes that could not take back. She once thought of quitting being a doctors too. But, at that time she has so many people at her side, not for sympathizing nor saying do your best to her, just there at her side; same situations happened to Haitani sensei, he has friends with him. “At your side there are the same doctors, colleagues that worries too about their own life. There are patients who are grateful to be saved by you. Also, there are medical instructors who looking forward for your growth. That’s me.” Said Shiraishi sensei with a smile. Shiraishi sensei really did a great job as a leader. She was one of the coolest leader ever.

Having supportive fellows and seniors really helping Haitani sensei in facing his clumsiness, his doubted about himself. Those people around him, help him a lot in finding himself. Especially Shiraishi sensei, the team leader, she said, “It is fine to take it slow. Without rushing, with your own pace to be a doctor”. Really, everybody has their own pace in life. Don’t rush yourself with anybody’s pace.

Comeback stronger, Haitani sensei.
