Synopsis

Eijiro Saito (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is a graduate of the prestigious Eidai Medical School and is sent to Eidai Hospital as a trainee doctor. There, under the supervision of Dr. Shiratori (Tomokazu Miura) at the surgery department, Eijiro trains hard with Dekune (Koji Kato) and Munekata (Masatoshi Matsuo). But all they seem to do is take care of the menial work. They work on average 16 hours a day for \38,000 per month. It's so bad that they have to do part-time work at other hospitals just to make ends meet.

Eijiro picks Seido Hospital, run by Dr. Hattori (Ken Ogata), for his part-time job. The surgery is like a battleground. Eijiro is very impressed by his senior Dr. Ushida (Tetta Sugimoto) and the nurse Kaori (Kyoka Suzuki). But one night, when he is on duty, Eijiro runs from the surgery leaving a badly injured patient behind!

Should You Trust Doctors?

7 / 10

aki_07 · 2006

The beginning was very good but story did not pick up later on. I like how the story depicts the dark side of medical healthcare and leaves viewers feeling paranoid about trusting doctors. Issues are very real and thought-provoking. Idealism vs practicality.

WONDERFUL SERIES

I was kind of turned off by the darkness of the first episode, I almost didn't watch the rest. Now though, this is one of my favorites. The portrayal of life as a new doctor is so painfully honest, Saito Sensei was so earnest too. Tsumambuki Satoshi did an awesome job here. He's definitely one of my favorite actors ever.

worth watching
