Description:

Iryu Team Medical Dragon 1 is a gripping medical drama that follows Ryutaro Asada, a brilliant yet renegade surgeon. After being framed for a misdiagnosis and dismissed by the North Japanese Hospital, Ryutaro retreats to a quiet life in a seaside shack. His exile is interrupted by Akira Kato, an ambitious assistant professor of Cardiac Surgery at Meishin University Medical Hospital. Having overcome gender barriers in her field, Akira aims to secure a promotion to full professor. To achieve this, she must successfully perform the Batista technique, a notoriously difficult heart surgery, and publish a paper on it. Remembering Ryutaro's incredible medical skills from his days as an NGO doctor, Akira seeks his vital assistance. Together, they must navigate a rigid medical profession where hospital politics and self-protection often take precedence over actual patient care, exposing the deep-rooted flaws of the healthcare system.
