Synopsis

A new medical drama that focuses on pharmacists, the unsung heroes who never get the spotlight.

Midori is a pharmacist who works at the Yorozu General Hospital. When Midori was in middle school, her little sister had cancer. Midori stayed by her sister’s side in place of her mother, but Midori slowly became exhausted mentally and physically. That’s when a female pharmacist came to her rescue. The pharmacist believed that “in hospitals, pharmacists are the ones who can have the warmest conversations with patients.” At that time, Midori decided to be a pharmacist, just like her.
Midori is incredibly sensitive to others’ feelings, and can tell if someone is worried or struggling simply by taking glances at their faces. Because of this part to her, she often spends too much time on each patient, even though she wants to “save as many people as possible.” However, there’s sometimes certain information that only she can pull out, bringing out clues that can save the patient’s life.
