Initially, Piwi simply prescribes a break from training. When Lukas Bukowski again complains of pain in his kidney area, he consults Christian for an internal examination. Despite symptoms of inflammation, the cause remains a mystery: The results confirm neither an abscess nor kidney stones. Shortly before the wrestler collapses in the practice, radiologist Timotheus von Hatzfeld discovers in the CT scan that Lukas has blood poisoning, which could not be diagnosed due to mixed-up lab results. Christian must now perform emergency surgery with Timo's help. Meanwhile, Christian has learned that Timotheus has been practicing as a pediatric radiologist without a license. When Christian sharply reprimands him, Piwi remorsefully admits that his lie has jeopardized the practice's existence. He promises to make amends for his misconduct. Christian is struggling with the prospect of being dismissed without notice because Timo's skills as a radiologist are excellent. Although it was Michael who uncovered his lie, Timotheus now asks him for help and shows him a meticulously kept logbook documenting his qualifications. Von Hatzfeld must somehow prove that his former mentor, Professor Schleimann, stole his research ideas and then wanted to get rid of him. The Medical Association has therefore wrongfully denied him certification as a pediatric radiologist. Michael is trying to find witnesses from Timo's former clinic to prove Professor Schleimann's fraud. Meanwhile, Anke is causing concern for the family: she is going into acute labor. Michael has to deliver the baby in a dramatic emergency operation. The prematurely born boy survives, tiny and weakened, and has to be cared for in an incubator. The Kleists are both relieved and worried: Anke is doing well, but will the premature baby survive? The arrival of the new family member is appropriately celebrated with a large garden party. Christian welcomes the new Kleist in his loving way. He is happy that his family is doing well. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
