Doctor X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon

2012 8 episodes TV Asahi Comedy Drama Medical Workplace Prime Video Viki

A freelance surgeon with a perfect record, zero hospital loyalty, and a complete refusal to participate in the Japanese medical hierarchy joins a teaching hospital that runs entirely on political favoritism. Each episode ends with her doing the surgery that the hospital's regular surgeons refused to attempt, then saying 'I never fail.' A medical workplace comedy built entirely on the premise that one person's total contempt for institutional politics is both the source of all the comedy and genuinely the most competent approach to medicine.
