Childbirth isn't an illness, so under normal circumstances, insurance won't cover it. Delivery staff doesn't cure disease or treat injuries, so there's no need for a doctor...unless, of course, circumstances aren't normal.

Includes four arcs: Doorstep Mother, Threatened Miscarriage, Gonorrhea and On Call.
Four employees at Persona--Dr. Kurasaki from OB/GYN, Dr. Shimoya from critical care, and midwives Komatsu and Saori--are having a girls' night out together.

Even more vexing: The best treatment is to give birth, which naturally stops menstruation.
