Dogami General Hospital is suffering from a chronic deficit because its doctors take joy rides in imported luxury cars and think only of themselves, having lost sight of their original goal of saving patients. A surgeon comes to this hospital. His name is Sagara Kosuke. Sagara resigned from the university hospital where he had worked for 12 years, and is returning to work after taking a year off. He offers to take an exceptionally meagre salary and proclaims to Dogami Tamaki, the hospital’s director, to raise it after watching his performance. Even though she feels slightly uncomfortable at those words, she has no choice but to hire him. Tamaki’s nephew and successor, the surgeon Moriyama Suguru, does not like Sagara who had unceremoniously butted in during his surgery and issued instructions to him through a microphone. One night, two days after having a surgery, a patient suddenly complains of pain. However, the surgeon cannot be contacted at all. Sagara who happened to be there takes on the surgery … …
