- Summary:
- "Saijo is a cardiac surgeon who promotes the surgery robot "Michael" at a university hospital. Maki is a genius doctor who completes an operation without "Michael" at a tremendous speed. At one point, the two confronted each other over the treatment for a boy with an incurable disease. Should they use cutting-edge medical treatment using "Michael" or open chest surgery using conventional surgical methods? Meanwhile, a young doctor who longed for Saijo died. A reporter trying to uncover the darkness of a university hospital approaches Saijo, saying, 'Michael is not an angel who saves people. It is a fraud.' " -- Cataloger's translation and interpretation of the Japanese synopsis
- "大学病院で、手術支援ロボット「ミカエル」を推進する心臓外科医・西條。そこへ、ドイツ帰りの天才医師・真木が現れ、西條の目の前で「ミカエル」を用いない手術を、とてつもない速さで完遂する。あるとき、難病の少年の治療方針をめぐって、二人は対立。「ミカエル」を用いた最先端医療か、従来の術式による開胸手術か。そんな中、西條を慕っていた若手医師が、自らの命を絶った。大学病院の闇を暴こうとする記者は、「ミカエルは人を救う天使じゃない。偽物だ」と西條に迫る。天才心臓外科医の正義と葛藤を描く。" -- various websites
