Story
It has been two years since Sagara Kosuke came to Dogami General Hospital from Tokyo Medical University Hospital and steadily made progress in creating the ideal hospital he envisioned. He is not only skilled in surgery but also when to be lenient and tough, and to inspire people. As a result, the hospital is hardly recognisable from what it used to be. Its patients are full of smiles and its staff brimming with energy. But one day, the hospital director Dogami Tamaki seeks a 200 million yen loan from a bank. Once they arrive at an agreement, she will retire and her position will go to her nephew Moriyama Takashi. Hearing of her decision, Minagawa Kazue and the nurses, who do not trust Moriyama’s character, cannot hide their shock. Moreover, the daughter of a patient whom Moriyama is in charge of feels alarmed by her poor progress after surgery and requests for a change in attending physician. However, Moriyama is naturally angered and rejects the request. Meanwhile, Sagara hears from pharmaceutical company medical rep Shibuya Shoko that a loan officer from the bank is carrying out a assessment on the hospital by masquerading as a visitor. He attempts to execute some plan but … … 堂上総合病院の後継者問題が急浮上。院長・たまきの甥で後継者の一番手と目される森山と相良の対決が激化し、他の医師やナースたちもそれに巻き込まれていく。それぞれの思惑が絡み合う中、やがて相良が堂上病院にやって来た真の目的が見え隠れし始める。
