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.
Residency tells the story of Goro Akanishi, a young man who’s serving his second year of residency under Dr. Kounotori and his colleagues. He happens upon a pregnant woman who’s just had a heart attack and uses a nearby AED to resuscitate her. She’s rushed to Persona Catholic Hospital hanging on by a thread, but as soon as she arrives, she has another heart attack! There’s only one way to save her life now—and all the staff of Persona work as one to bring her back from the brink! Also includes Influenza and Due Date.
