The story continues with Michiko still working as a freelance doctor at the Teito University Hospital. Enjoying herself at a horse-race in Hokkaido from an invite by Dr Kanbara Akira, Michiko happens to chance upon a scene at the owners' box. The elegant woman draped in a fur coat, sipping champagne with her handsome younger lover. Her attention is soon diverted to the race, as she cheers on the horse that shehad bet on. Suddenly, the said horse veered into the path of another horse, causing a nasty fall. Michiko then overhears the elegant woman, who happens to be the injured horse's owner, lamenting "A hundred million yen horse, euthanised just like that". To which the vet replies, "Even a surgery will result in 100% failure". Michiko then chimes in, "If it was me, I would succeed"... A few weeks later, in the conference at the Teito University Hospital, the Internal Medicine Executive Manager announces that there will be a patient checking into the hospital for treatment on osteosarcoma of the thighbone. The Chief surgeon, Hiruma, and all his staff concur that the best treatment would be to amputate the leg, when a voice pipes up, "I disagree!", that heralds the appearance of Michiko!

Great Video Quality. A pleasant surprise.
ive ordeedr other foreign disks in the past and been disappointed, they have been obvious pirated copies etc. this time I was really pleased, its clearly a licensed product (most likely from either Taiwan or hong king).<edit> unless the Razzak sub team is part of Asahi TV then this isn't licensed :( On the positive side the video quality is still great.Quality is excellent and really adds value as compared to what I was watching (youtube and one of the many .drama streams).Would buy again :)

NHK's Doctor X is my Secret Vice!
Doctor X is my favorite series on Japan's NHK channel. It manages to be totally gripping as it shows this skilled female surgeon performing deft and daring surgeries on difficult cases where the patient's life is hanging in the balance. The music cues our tears to well up during the many moving scenes where the doctor levels with her patients. The scenes of Michiko Daimon theatrically refusing to toe the line by deferring to the medical establishment are over the top, but I find myself smiling. Her body language is disrespectful, irreverent. She stretches her arms over her head, yawns, rolls her eyes, yells, pours pure sugar water into a glass to gulp down after exhausting surgeries. She plays ping pong and mah jong and dances in high heels at discos in Tokyo. She steps in where other colleagues and superiors sweat, faint, or mess up in the operating theater, elbowing them aside. She is able to charge high prices for each surgery as a free lancer represented by her live in companion, but gets no respect from those around her. Until...they see how cool she is under fire, and how skillful at doing the most difficult, ground-breaking surgeries. After the surgery is finished, she goes around to the patient's head, and rests her palm on their shoulder to send healing and compassionate vibrations. I cannot wait to see if the series continues. I have watched the episodes again and again (mostly because I am learning Japanese and I can't understand it unless I watch them fifteen times in a row!)
