Say Hello to Black Jack is a Japanese medical drama following Eijiro Saito, a newly qualified doctor assigned to prestigious Eidai Hospital. Struggling with grueling shifts and meager pay, Eijiro takes a second job at Seido Hospital under the charismatic Dr. Hattori, where the surgical ward operates like a war zone.
