At the heart of the conflict is Dr. Yeung, the visionary deputy director of Ming Shing North Hospital, who proposes a drastic overhaul of the institution's deeply rooted bureaucratic model. His ambitious plan promises modernization and efficiency. However, this radical blueprint faces staunch resistance from Dr. Tong, the head of cardiology, who believes Dr. Yeung's proposed changes threaten to dismantle the existing safety nets and disproportionately impact the poor's crucial access to healthcare.
