The analysis of a text #5
Jin Minakata is the protagonist of this series of two season drama.
2 years has passed since surgeon Jin Minakata (Takao Osawa) first travelled back in time to the latter days of the Edo period.
In the Edo period, the disease beriberi (caused by a lack of vitamin B1) is rampant across Japan. Meanwhile, Saki Tachibana (Haruka Ayase) worries over the deteriorating health of her mother Ei (Yumi Asou). Her mother, who kicked Saki out of their home because of her refusal to go along with an arrange marraige, has now come down with beriberi. Jin attempts to treat her mother, but Saki’s mother refuses treatment. Jin thinking of medical treatments decides to use donuts from the present day as treatment for beriberi.
Meanwhile, Ryoma Sakamoto (Masaaki Uchino) comes to Jin and asks him to treat wounded Sakuma Shozan (Masachika Ichimura), who go on to become an important historical figure in Japan. Jin worries over his actions and whether saving an important historical figure could alter history. Jin also encounters a surprise when he treats Sakuma Shozan.
I'd like to know if "thinking of medical treatments" means "while he thought of medical treatments."
Thank you in advance for your help.
