Synopsis: Morohashi Masashi (Inagaki Goro) has the unusual label of former doctor and public prosecutor. One day, Morohashi is brought to Seiryo Medical University Hospital after a drinking binge. As he is getting treatment, he sees a female patient being rushed to the emergency centre. She suddenly throws up a large amount of blood. This perplexes rookie doctor Iketani Kazuki (Yamada Shintaro), who is examining his first patient. Morohashi gives precise instructions from Iketani’s side, and in the end operates with him. Morohashi’s good judgment and extraordinary surgical skills saves the female patient who is on the brink of death. Iketani’s supervising doctor, Okita Ryoko (Kimura Yoshino), tells Morohashi that she does not want him to do as he pleases, but Okamoto Keiichi (Suzuki Kosuke) cuts in and invites Morohashi to work at Seiryo Medical University Hospital. He immediately agrees. From his first day, Morohashi sees the whirl of human relationships within the hospital.

On the other hand, Tsubaki has infiltrated the hospital as a nurse. Morohashi tails Nishina Kyoko (Yasuda Misako), who has recently been removed from her position as operating-theatre nurse, and makes a shocking discovery.
