A Lone Scalpel (0)

Other name: Koko no Mes, 孤高のメス

Description:

A Lone Scalpel plunges viewers into 1989, following surgeon Tetsuhiko Touma at a local hospital. Driven by the tragic loss of his mother due to a faulty diagnosis, Touma dedicated his life to medicine, determined to overcome the systemic flaws and outdated customs plaguing the healthcare system. He consistently prioritizes his patients' needs, often clashing with established norms.

His unwavering commitment faces its ultimate test when the mayor of the local city is admitted in critical condition. The only hope for survival lies in a groundbreaking procedure: Japan's first-ever liver transplant from a braindead donor. However, current law explicitly forbids such an operation. Touma is thrust into an impossible dilemma, forced to choose between adhering to restrictive regulations that could cost a life, or defying the law to perform a revolutionary surgery, pushing the boundaries of medical practice and risking everything for his patient.
