Drama Digest

Doctors at Sasai Memorial Hospital, where a hospital is viewed as a hospitality sector where people come first, are afflicted by a variety of issues. Mano Chiaki, a young doctor, is pursued by a monster patient who harasses her on a regular basis. Hamaguchi Yoko, her trusted senior, has a cheery attitude and is well-liked by patients, but she is concerned about a large medical lawsuit. Another doctor maintains a certain distance from patients but is nonetheless involved in a disagreement. Is there any hope for these doctors?

The Feel-Good Part

Each episode is entertaining, and some even touch on controversial issues if you so desire. I liked how there was a link between the characters and the stories, and I think the mystery was well handled. The gloomy undertone was also a nice addition.

The Disappointing Factor

While she was being stalked by this stalker, the General Secretary claimed that the doctor was to blame for everything, which I felt was preposterous. There are so many CCTV cameras that they couldn’t even care to investigate this.

In-Depth Analysis

In the Tokyo metropolitan area, Sasai Memorial Hospital is a private general hospital. Mano Chiaki, a young doctor, and her trusted senior Hamaguchi Yoko, as well as other doctors, are inundated with consultations every day. An elderly couple visits the hospital one day, believing the wife has cancer. Chiaki feels annoyed by her husband’s demands. Even though his wife is concerned about him, she remains silent. Chiaki gives the woman the scent oil that her mother produced. The doctors have a variety of issues since the management views a hospital as a hospitality company and recommends that “patients come first.” Chiaki is hounded by an unreasonable patient named Zama Atsushi, who emerges out of nowhere one day and harasses her. Yoko has a pleasant attitude and is well-liked by her patients, but she is concerned about a large medical malpractice case. Another colleague, Kaneda Naoki, appeared to be doing well by keeping a safe distance from patients, but he is still involved in a disagreement. Is there any hope for these doctors?

Star Power

Kanjiya Shihori is an excellent doctor with exceptional intuition and is skilled at acquiring a sense of patients through breath sounds and palpation.

Yuki Uchida is usually upbeat and honest. Chiaki provides her excellent counsel and sticks up for her since she gets twisted around by patients. Among the hospital personnel and patients, she has many admirers.

Overall Opinion

Overall, this drama is worth watching if you enjoy medical dramas with a twist.
