Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon(2012)

Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon is a Japanese medical drama following a 37-year-old freelance surgeon who moves between hospitals through a temporary placement service. Michiko is unconventional—flashy clothes, eccentric personality, and a refusal to play office politics. She commands premium fees for her surgical work, yet her background remains a mystery. When she arrives at a new hospital, Michiko immediately clashes with the surgical department head by challenging a risky operation he plans to perform despite being out of practice for years. Her blunt assessment of his outdated skills shocks the staff, but her surgical brilliance is undeniable. Michiko strictly adheres to her contract, avoids unnecessary duties, and ignores hospital hierarchies entirely. As she navigates the hostile environment and power struggles within the institution, her exceptional skill and enigmatic nature make her both invaluable and unsettling to colleagues around her.
