Childbirth isn't an illness, so under normal circumstances, insurance won't cover it. Delivery staff doesn't cure disease or treat injuries, so there's no need for a doctor...unless, of course, circumstances aren't normal. This smash-hit drama gives a look into the lives of the men and women who work to welcome 1,000,000 new lives into the world each year in Japan. Includes four arcs: Doorstep Mother, Threatened Miscarriage, Gonorrhea and On Call.
The administrators of Persona Catholic Hospital send Dr. Goro to a remote island all alone for short-term residency at a rural hospital. He's a born city boy, but now he's a fish out of water on an island of fishermen. As he finds his bearings, he realizes he's on the verge of a breakthrough as a doctor.
