Synopsis

edit

Season 1

edit

Tojo University Hospital is known for having high success in its Surgery Department. Its Director, Professor and heart surgeon Seigō Saeki has implemented the "Saeki Procedure",[5] which is a heart surgery without stopping it. He has been considered as a candidate for President of the Japanese Society of Cardiac Surgery, as is his rival, Keisuke Nishizaki, Director of Surgery of Teika University.[6] Nishisaki considers he is better for the position and schemes to bring down Tojo's fame to achieve it. For that, he sends surgeon Gonta Takashina, fervient user of the latest devices, to Tojo.[7]

In Tojo, Takashina will face Seishirō Tokai, a genius surgeon whose (non-mechanical) surgical technique has a 100% of success, but whose attitude alienates everyone around him.
