For Ayajichi Shoubu, the past few days had been exceptionally depressing and uncomfortable, with her emotions thoroughly filled with indignation.
It began with a professor in charge of a neurosurgery making a mistake and severing a patient's nerve. She had expended enormous effort to successfully reattach the severed nerve, yet instead of thanks, that leading professor shifted all the blame onto her.
This unbearable humiliation made Ayajichi Shoubu consider resigning in anger and exposing the incident to the newspapers, but in the end, the matter was suppressed. There were even rumors that, to silence her, the hospital planned to relegate her to the Shiretoko Branch Hospital.
