Michiko Daimon is a freelance surgeon who wanders from hospital to hospital, refusing to engage in the typical office politics, power struggles, or bureaucratic nonsense that plagues the Japanese medical establishment. With her signature catchphrase, 'I never fail,' she tackles the most complex and high-risk surgical cases that other doctors deem impossible, often clashing with the rigid, hierarchy-obsessed directors of the university hospitals where she is contracted. Supported by her mentor Akira Kanbara, who manages her contracts and ensures she is paid handsomely for her life-saving skills, Michiko operates with a singular focus on the patient's survival. Throughout the series, she exposes the corruption and incompetence of the medical elite, proving that true surgical excellence transcends the social status and institutional politics that define the traditional Japanese healthcare system.
