Short summary

Daimon Michiko is a 37-year-old freelance surgeon who is part of a questionable "doctor placement service" that has her wander from hospital to hospital. The harsh environment at the hospitals led many doctors to retire from their positions, forcing hospitals to make use of said program to fill the empty spots at least temporary. However, Michiko doesn't look like a doctor at all with her flashy clothes and eccentric attitude.

    Japanese drama with some touches of comedy about a brilliant female freelance surgeon who as the introductry narration explains, hates authority, groups, and constraints. She is not a very smpathetic character. But as someone asks earlier on, if you had to have surgery performed on you, would you prefer someone who knew what they were doing, or someone with the right things to say. The series gives what I assume is a true insight into the political infighting, and fight for power that goes on in large city hospitals. It also exposes the incompetence of some doctors, and such things as gratuties, and patients with the pull being given priority over others. To me though the real heroine of the series is not Ryoko Yonekura as the lead character, but Yuki Uchida as another female doctor.

    Freelance surgeon Dr. Daimon Michiko struts into a University hospital, is mistaken by the administrator for a sleazy Roppongi bar hostess, and takes on the most difficult case. Displaying an independent air gained from hard won experience in third world clinics and hospitals, Dr. Daimon refuses to do anything that doesn't require a doctor's license, from secretarial duty to golf games and leaves work promptly at 5 p.m. As she blows past the institution's cliques and hierarchy, the staff becomes infuriated as patients are cured one after the other. Her representative, Dr. Jonouchi Hiromi, who may be the real (failed)"Doctor X," submits an exorbitant bill and a melon to the institution, which usually leads to a senior staff shakeup. In between surgeries, Dr. Daimon rests at Dr. Jonouchi's physician's exchange, losing game after game of Mah Jong.
