Doctor X

Daimon Michiko goes to a university hospital with her letter of introduction. Michiko is a freelancer surgeon and is placed at the university hospital by a doctor placement agency. Due to the hospital’s harsh working conditions several doctors have quit. Michiko doesn’t appear as your typical doctor. She wears shorts and some people assume she is the girlfriend of someone at the hospital. Michiko though is an excellant surgeon.

At the university hospital, Michiko makes objections to the director of the university hospital, who plans to perform a surgery. Michiko points out the director’s antiquated surgical methods and the fact that he hasn’t performed as a surgeon in many years. Others though are frozen by Michiko’s objections. Nobody second guesses the director of the university hospital.

The elegant woman draped in a fur coat, sipping champagne with her handsome younger lover. Her attention is soon diverted to the race, as she cheers on the horse that she had bet on. Suddenly, the said horse veered into the path of another horse, causing a nasty fall. Michiko then overhears the elegant woman, who happens to be the injured horse’s owner, lamenting “A hundred million yen horse, euthanised just like that”. To which the vet replies, “Even a surgery will result in 100% failure”. Michiko then chimes in, “If it was me, I would succeed”… A few weeks later, in the conference at the Teito University Hospital, the Internal Medicine Executive Manager announces that there will be a patient checking into the hospital for treatment on osteosarcoma of the thighbone. The Chief surgeon, Hiruma, and all his staff concur that the best treatment would be to amputate the leg, when a voice pipes up, “I disagree!”, that heralds the appearance of Michiko!
