After being fired from the first hospital in season 1 (for saving people’s lives) by Busujima and his panel of hi-fi steak eating aficionados, Michiko starts a new job as surgeon at Teito university hospital first hired under the internal medicine chief (the woman horse race lady whose name I forgot), and then hired under Hiruma, the surgery director. It’s astounding how corrupt these organizations and power structures are, which Michiko’s honesty and integrity cutting through the whole system like a knife (no pun intended). She literally saves everyone’s life, like the internal medicine chief lady for example, and they have zero gratitude and just turn around and stab her in the back. The young handsome dude who was being groomed to be the next director by Hiruma (forgot the guy’s name) ends up publishing a case study for a surgery that Michiko proposes and carries out all on her own which involves a simultaneous transplant from two patients - wives of internal medicine and surgery doctors. It becomes a hit and the said handsome dude takes the credit and fame from what should belong to Michiko. Oftentimes Michiko is performing 2 surgeries simultaneously or back to back because of the incompetent surgical staff, but others take credit for her divine work- it’s infuriating! Reminds me of a corporation where the boss or CEO takes credit for all your hard work just to make their image look good. Then there’s the Locum agency director who is in charge of Michiko- he bills the hospital for Michiko’s work, gives them a melon, takes the money, and leaves Michiko with nothing but maybe a sushi dinner and a crappy place to stay. Where is all that money going I wonder? Michiko doesn’t seem to get a single penny of it. He keeps saying that she’s paying off her father’s debt which I suspect is a lie. I think that the guy is simply pocketing the money and exploiting Michiko’s genius but she is too naive to notice what’s going on. She simply wants to do surgery and save lives- that in itself is her purpose and reward. She doesn’t even desire money, fame, or status. Outside of surgery and the hospital, she becomes like a little child- dependent on the Locum agency director Mahjong guy, Akira San like he’s a father figure to her. But she needs more agency with the gifts she has. She deserves better with her divine gift! The whole world just exploits and takes from her and gives nothing but criticism and attacks to her. One guy Dr. Kaji..? Actually calls her a demon! What on earth. Because she isn’t fake polite for manipulative reasons and speaks her mind openly and honestly they call her a demon? When she’s the one saving lives and the other doctors are just cashing in on her accomplishments- taking the credit or money.. it’s so unfair. Michiko is being exploited! Please protect or save Michiko! She deserves better! But this series also shows how fickle all the authority and status and power is, as people get fired and dismissed left and right and even those who seem to profit off of Michiko’s surgical accomplishments eventually topple. The medical Pharisees strike again… and Akira San swindles all her money… But the Christ figure resurrects and strikes back! With that said, this series is seriously addicting.
