Other name:

Description:

Iryu 4 is a gripping medical drama that exposes the dark realities and rigid hierarchy of the Japanese medical profession. The story follows Ryutaro Asada, a brilliant but renegade surgeon who was framed for a misdiagnosis and dismissed from North Japanese Hospital. Living in exile in a seaside shack, his quiet life is disrupted when Akira Kato, an ambitious assistant professor from Meishin University Medical Hospital, tracks him down. Akira aims to secure a promotion to full professor by successfully performing the Batista technique, a highly complex heart surgery, and writing a prestigious paper on it. Having witnessed Ryutaro's incredible skills a year ago during his time as an NGO doctor, she recruits him for this high-stakes medical challenge. Together, they must navigate a corrupt healthcare system where decisions are routinely made to protect powerful hospitals rather than save patients' lives. This intense drama showcases their fight against institutional barriers to put patient care first.
