Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 201: Recruiting New Talents

Director's Office, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Director Ukai is worried about the hospital being involved in medical lawsuits.

Professor Zaizen of the First Department of Surgery was sued by his patient, Yohei Sasaki, for misdiagnosis that led to the patient's death after surgery.

As mentioned earlier, Professor Zaizen of the First Department of Surgery was from Dean Ukai's faction. He was a very outstanding surgeon who came from a poor rural family. He worked hard to get into the First Department of Surgery and was adopted as a son-in-law by Zaizen, the vice-president of the Japan Medical Association, to inherit the Zaizen family.

Initially, Professor Zaizen was a student of Professor Higashi of the First Department of Surgery, and was set to take over the position of Professor of the First Department of Surgery in the future. However, the master and apprentice broke up because Professor Higashi wanted to continue to rule the country behind the scenes after retirement, and Zaizen himself was highly skilled and aggressive, which deepened the conflict. Professor Zaizen eventually joined Dean Ukai's faction, and in the subsequent election for Professor of the First Department of Surgery, he narrowly defeated Professor Kikukawa of Kanazawa University, who was recommended by Professor Higashi, and became the Professor of the First Department of Surgery. Professor Higashi retired in the year of Dingnian and left for a local hospital in Nagoya.

At first, Director Ukai thought this was a very simple case, because it is impossible for doctors to be 100% accurate in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are very normal. As long as the hospital makes an excuse along this line, the All Japan Medical Association will stand on the side of the hospital, not to mention that Zaizen's father-in-law and adoptive father, Zaizen Mataichi, is the vice president of the Japan Medical Association.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The patient's family couldn't even find a law firm willing to take the case. Later, they finally found a freelance lawyer, but still lost the first trial.

However, there were two things that Dean Ukai did not expect.

The first thing was that Associate Professor Satomi of the Department of Internal Medicine actually turned against Professor Zaizen and presented diagnostic evidence that was very unfavorable to Professor Zaizen, proving that he had already judged in advance that it might be a misdiagnosis, but still insisted on his own opinion.

The second thing is the autopsy results of Professor Ohkouchi and his apprentice team from the Forensic Pathology Department. During the autopsy, they clearly stated that the deceased had problems with lesion metastasis before the operation and it was not a postoperative complication.

These are all pieces of evidence that are extremely unfavorable to the trial. If the Medical Association had not done the work of third-party appraisal, and if Professor Zaizen was not an honorary member of the International Medical Association of the Surgical Association and had to consider the international impact, the hospital would not have won.

Even if we win, this time it was a very thrilling win, and the other party’s lawyer has made it clear that he will continue to appeal.

The first thing Dean Ukai did after winning the lawsuit was to exile Associate Professor Satomi to the western region.

The hospital doesn't need people who don't care about the hospital.

However, Associate Professor Satomi was of a strong character and refused this exile and resigned in anger.

This is exactly what Director Ukai wants. According to the rules of the Japan Medical Association, any doctor who dares to do something detrimental to the hospital where he works will not be able to find a job in other large hospitals in the Kanto city area.

But Professor Ohkouchi came forward at this time and introduced Associate Professor Satomi to the Chiba University Hospital.

Professor Ohkouchi is a giant in the industry and a recipient of the Emperor's Award, and is able to attend the Seiryoden Hall. The Medical Association is a place where his juniors dare not disobey.

This brings us to the second problem. Having failed to completely resolve the issue with Associate Professor Satomi, Dean Ukai finds himself unable to resolve another source of trouble, namely Professor Okouchi and Uesugi Sosetsu.

It’s okay for Professor Ohkouchi, a giant in the medical field. He will retire completely in two or three years.

What if Uesugi Sosetsu is willing to testify in court?
In the medical world, Uesugi Sosetsu is just a little karami who can be easily manipulated, but in the police world, Uesugi Sosetsu is the father of the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department!

At this moment, Dean Ukai received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"What? The Metropolitan Police Department means to recruit another person from the Forensic Department and then second him to Sakuradamon to serve as Uesugi-kun's assistant?" Dean Ukai stood up from his seat.

"Ah, that's right." Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji said calmly on the phone, "We can't help it. Right now, all the autopsy matters in Tokyo's 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages are handled by Forensic Officer Uesugi alone. He is really too busy to handle it all. So please cooperate with our work. As for the budget, we will pay the money in the form of cooperation."

"Yes, but..." Dean Ukai became extremely annoyed when he thought about what had happened in recent years.

I thought that with Zaizen in the First Surgery Department and Uesugi in the Forensic Medicine Department, these two people would make our hospital great again.

As a result, Zaizen is now embroiled in a lawsuit, and Uesugi Munsetsu is obsessed with the autopsy and is also involved in the Zaizen case. He has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to compromise. He clearly told the hospital that he would not change the autopsy report.

If these two pillars explode at the same time, won’t our hospital be completely destroyed? ? ?
Under such circumstances, how could we possibly agree to let the hospital recruit an additional forensic doctor who would not do any work but would take up our hospital's staffing position?
Are you kidding me? What do you think of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital? Although we are not as good as the Tokyo University Hospital, we are the best in the country in terms of dentistry and cancer cases!
We have been regressing again and again. How far will Tokyo Medical and Dental University go? !
Sure enough, Dean Ukai's silence was also conveyed to Superintendent General Watanabe Eiji on the other end of the microphone. Watanabe Eiji's attitude immediately changed: "Why? Dean Ukai is unwilling?"

"No no no, of course no problem!"

Feeling the pressure, Dean Ukai immediately smiled and said, "We will do as you say and publish the recruitment notice. Director Watanabe, please give us your guidance."

"Oh, so Dean Ukai is willing. I thought you were unwilling. I was thinking that since the Tokyo Medical and Dental University is unwilling, our department will have to find another hospital to affiliate with." Watanabe Eiji said nonchalantly, "After all, our department doesn't want to force anyone to do anything!"

"That's not true! Director Watanabe, please don't say that!" Dean Ukai said quickly, "Just tell me what you want to do! We will do it!"

"That's good." Watanabe Eiji put down the phone and sneered in his heart: "Thank you for your help."

In Tokyo, except for the Tokyo University Hospital, which can make the Metropolitan Police Department a little bit afraid, what qualifications do other hospitals have to reject our Metropolitan Police Department? You, a bird professor, are shameless and still want to reject Sakuradamon. You really don't know your own limitations.

If you don’t want to be the dean, you don’t have to. There are plenty of people who want to be the dean!

If you don’t want my beloved son-in-law and adopted son, you don’t have to worry about them. We at the University of Tokyo still need them!

Even if we don’t give you a budget, you’ll have no choice but to hold back, not to mention we do give you a budget!
After hanging up the phone, Dean Ukai stomped his feet hard and threw the documents on the table to the ground.

Hey!
Dean Ukai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

I’m so angry, but I still have to keep smiling!

He couldn't get rid of Associate Professor Satomi, and couldn't touch Professor Ohkouchi. Now he can't even do anything to Uesugi Sosetsu, a small specialist in medicine. How can he win the support of the people and suppress other factions in the hospital?

However, compromising with the Metropolitan Police Department might ruin his plan to become the principal in the future. But if he angered the Metropolitan Police Department and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner who has the best political performance, the highest prestige, and the most power in the past forty years, he would be finished now!

........................

Just like that, the news that the Forensic Pathology Department of Tokyo Medical and Dental University needed to recruit a forensic assistant to assist the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Department's Investigation Division 1 Special Investigation Officer Uesugi in performing autopsies quickly spread throughout the Kanto urban area.

However, contrary to expectations, no one applied after the message was sent out.

The reason is very simple. There are very few people in Japan who can pass the medical school and then study forensic medicine. Even fewer people continue to work as forensic medicine after studying forensic medicine. There are even fewer people who are willing to change jobs and leave their current positions to apply for a job after working as forensic medicine!

The main reason lies in the recruitment requirements. The recruitment notice clearly states that sufficient experience and a large amount of field work are needed, and that they will need to frequently come into contact with criminal cases, which has discouraged a large number of people.

薪水倒是看起来不错，总共是东医科齿科大的22*13+警视厅特命系的津贴5*17，年薪大约370万日元（到手差不多300万），除此之外可以享受警视厅的各种津贴福利，因此合计年薪大约420万（到手340万）左右。

This income is considered good in Tokyo, but it is too little for a medical student.

What's even worse is that the Special Mission Department is an "illegal, extraordinary department", and no one knows how long they can do this job. Of course, there are still staff positions at the hospital, but without the allowances and subsidies from the Metropolitan Police Department, who would do this job with only a salary of 280 million yen a year at the hospital?
Therefore, no one came to apply for the job.

It was nine o'clock in the evening in Fuchu City, Tokyo, on a hot summer night in early August. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Two women in clinic uniforms got off a bus on the roadside. One was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, and the other was about thirty years old. They rushed off the bus in a panic and rushed to the supermarket out of breath.

"It's too late, God bless you!"

"Jungler, jungle, jungle!"

Two women in white coats rushed into the supermarket, grabbed a basket, and headed straight for the bento area.

Jungle!

They were still late. All the half-price bento boxes in the wild section of the supermarket were gone, and the sushi section was completely cleaned out, with only some fried chicken tempura left.

"Oh, we're late!" The two girls looked depressed.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, Japanese supermarkets will start to offer discounts on the day's food and some fresh produce. This is a regular spot for many working people, students, and bargain-hunting old ladies. Some housewives even stand next to these fresh lunch boxes, waiting for the supermarket clerks to put discount labels on them and then snatch them away.

But today it's already nine o'clock and there's nothing left.

The two women had no choice but to buy a portion of fried shrimp tempura at 50% off, and a portion of cold squid udon at 40% off, calculated their daily expenses, checked out, and ate their late dinner on a bench next to the supermarket.

"Mikoto, you're pretty good at finding half-price bentos now!" said the older woman sitting on the bench, "Are you sure you don't want to go to another opposite sex exchange meeting with me? You're so young and pretty, you'll definitely be very popular!"

"Life in Tokyo is very expensive, so I learned to eat half-price bento very early on."

Another woman's eyes were full of tiredness and indifference in her messy hair. She simply opened the box and put the already slightly cold fried shrimp tempura into her mouth: "Ah~ When I think about going back to work overtime later, I really don't want to live like this!"

"So, you really don't consider coming to our opposite sex exchange meeting?" The older woman was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt, long pants, sneakers and a white coat.

"I told you, I don't want to get married!"

"We didn't talk about getting married. It was just a gathering of men and women who didn't know each other, eating and chatting." The older woman was still trying: "Please come with me!"

"No." The woman said in a muffled voice: "Besides, wouldn't our profession discourage men from pursuing it?"

"That's true, but you're so beautiful and young, are you really not considering remarriage? I know some good men! They earn around 500 million a year, don't be disgusted! After all, you've been divorced..."

"Don't consider it~ I've already given up on marriage. Otherwise, how could I, a graduate of the Osaka University School of Medicine, end up like this? Wow, a small clinic, wow, overtime, wow, a 7K industry!"

"Is that because you spend too much on clothes?"

"I do. Why?"

The woman, who was about thirty years old, finished her tempura and udon noodles in a few bites and prepared to go back to work overtime.

Under the night light, the woman's face was delicate and soft, with thin eyes and willow-shaped eyebrows, and a coquettish and free-spirited temperament. Under her tall and straight nose was a pair of pink lips, of which the upper lip was slightly thick, plump and soft.

She was wearing a formal slim-fitting OL uniform tube skirt. Because of the intense running just now, the white coat she was wearing outside was completely messed up, revealing a beige lace shirt underneath. The pair of beautiful breasts in front of her chest were tightly wrapped in the lace shirt. Although not large in size, they were particularly well-proportioned. Further down, there was a beige hip skirt, and under the hip skirt was a pair of exquisite and beautiful legs in flesh-colored stockings. The beautiful legs were not only slender, but also looked extremely sexy wrapped in flesh-colored stockings.

Because of the intense running just now, the two patent leather high-heeled shoes on the woman's feet were tilted from side to side. Two small and delicate silk feet were exposed in the air with the tips of the shoes raised. Through the crystal clear skin-colored stockings, the beautiful feet stood neatly side by side. The toes painted with pink nail polish were pressed on the transparent socks and twisted restlessly from time to time, which was cute and seductive, swaying with the shoes.

The woman was not tall, probably less than 1.6 meters, but she had a very well-proportioned figure with a waistline. She had shoulder-length brown hair that was spread out, which made her look soft and charming.

"Come to think of it, Mikoto, you graduated from forensic medicine, right? Ah~ The director is really too much. He entrusted all kinds of autopsies to you, even though we are just a small clinic."

"By the way, Tokyo Medical and Dental University seems to have announced that they want to hire a forensic doctor. Mikoto, why don't you give it a try?" At this time, the older woman suddenly said, "Aren't you a forensic doctor?"

When the beautiful doctor heard this suggestion, her eyes widened: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Although the salary isn't that great, it's better than staying in a small clinic and doing forensic work on a temporary employee's salary!"

"Also, it is said that he will be seconded to the Metropolitan Police Department this time to serve as the assistant of the legendary rookie forensic doctor, special identification officer Uesugi Muneyuki! He is the one who solved the Fujidai case, Chiba case, and Todai case! You must know him, right? He is from the nobility and a descendant of Lord Kenshin!"

Talking about this, the beautiful doctor became much quieter.

The older woman didn't notice. She was very excited when she talked about this, but soon became depressed. "But, the job they are recruiting for is to be able to do a lot of field work, possibly to come into contact with crime scenes and to perform autopsies frequently. There's probably no chance for women like us."

"It's like this in the industry right now. Except for nurses and childcare workers, all departments are unwilling to recruit women. Even if they do recruit, they are dispatched employees. For a small clinic like ours, I guess Officer Uesugi would not look down on us and pass us right away."

"How is that possible?" Upon hearing this, the beautiful doctor calmly closed the lunch box and said, "If I go, I will definitely be selected, easily selected! I said it! How could he... I mean, I graduated from Osaka University, and my professional ability is definitely up to par!"

"Eh? Really? I don't believe it." The older woman looked unconvinced: "Since it's a female applicant, she must have been rejected in the first round, right?"

This sentence instead made the beautiful doctor look thoughtful.

She has been in Tokyo for several years and has changed a lot of jobs. The same thing is that because she had interrupted her medical career and was a single woman without children, the big hospitals were afraid that she would come to take care of the baby or to make a living, and were unwilling to recruit her. She could only rotate around small clinics. After working for a few years, not only did she not make any progress, but because she used to be a student at the Osaka University School of Medicine, she had to do a lot of things in the clinic.

The tasks are all undertaken by dispatched employees, but the credit belongs to regular employees.

Endless overtime and extremely low pay, she was really tired of this place.

But where can forensic scientists find employment?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Inspection took her resume and made it clear that the legal profession was a heavy workload and would not consider women.

It's not a good idea to keep wandering like this!

She believed in herself that as long as she applied, she would definitely get the position.

It just means renewing our past relationship.

Yes, what should I do?
