It’s been 1½ years
since the ‘living liver donor transplant’, and the Dogami General Hospital has
gotten a reputation-boost because of it. Patients have been flowing in, and the
hospital has been busy. Dr. Moriyama (Takashima Masanobu) returns after being abroad
for some time: he’s been practicing laparoscopy surgery, and has become quite
good at it. Due to having returned and having done the ‘living liver donor
transplant’, Professor Sengoku of Saito University Hospital has black listed
Moriyama because he felt offended by it. This also leads to the spread of
rumors, and unfortunately decreases of patients.
Some days later,
Yukimura Eriko comes to Dogami General Hospital in hopes of curing her cancer.
Dr. Sagara (Sawamura Ikki) makes it his top priority to help her, which
includes having Dr. Moriyama do the laparoscopy while doing his surgery. But
after finding out that she was the former patient of Dr. Sengoku, Moriyama
hesitates, because if he helps a patient Dr. Sengoku was unable to treat, he
would offend him even more, and that would probably be the end of his career..
What is Dr. Sagara going to do?
As a continuation of
the series I was a bit expectant of the special (since the Japanese are really
good at these specials), I unfortunately have to announce that this was not as
good as the drama. It’s not bad as in acting and screenplay, it’s just that the
storyline was a bit boring compared to the drama. I felt there was too much of administration/management
and too little medical. Like if you do a medical drama, or special, it is
supposed to be medical, not about the fight of who can become the next director
or who is on whose side. Of course there can be a bit of it, but this special
has about 10% medical - in the end and in the beginning. So you can say I am a
bit disappointed. But the thing I liked was how in the special we find out
about everyone around Sagara, and get to know them a bit better, rather than
just Sagara. All in all, an okay special, though hoping for a better season 2.
