Document 72 Hours - Season 5 Episode 25

Kamogawa, Boso Peninsula. Three years ago, a 24-hour convenience store was opened in a huge general hospital where emergency patients are brought in from midnight to early morning. With a full lineup of hospital supplies and sugar-free meals, the convenience store is constantly crowded with customers throughout the day. A young man who had a car accident and lived for the rest of his life. A hospital patient who cannot sleep at night comes to buy a newspaper early in the morning. Late at night, doctors on the night shift rush in between surgeries to stuff themselves with cup noodles. This is the human side of the convenience store, a beloved “oasis” in a hospital where life and death intersect, isolated from everyday life.
