Iryu Team Medical Dragon is a manga by Akira Nagai drawn by Taro Nogizaka, made into a four-season Live-Action Adaptation.The series follows Dr. Asada Ryutaro, a Japanese heart surgeon who spent years working for an NGO in war-torn countries. He catches the eye of Dr. Kato Akira, another cardiac surgeon who works by-the-book even in a war zone in the middle of nowhere. Years later, when Kato is working on a thesis about a promising new surgical procedure called "Batista", Kato enlists Asada to head up her star surgical team. Asada, however, lacks any faith or investment in the Japanese university medical system and only reluctantly agrees to work for Kato.Kato is caught between a rock and a hard place. In order to secure her professorship at the hospital, she has thrown in her lot with Dr. Noguchi Keno, who agrees to support her only as long as her thesis can help him fulfill his ambition to become the head of Meishin University Hospital. Vicious interdepartmental politics takes far greater precedence in Meishin's upper echelons than any other occupation — including saving lives and fostering the abilities of good surgeons and physicians. Nevertheless, Kato is given some leeway to assemble her Batista team... which means she leaves it up to the rebellious Asada, who is hard enough to handle on a good day. That's the rock.The hard place, for Kato, is her rival Dr. Kirishima Gunji. Unbeknownst to Kato, Kirishima is working on the same procedure — and going about it in a far less ethical manner.While Asada assembles his team one by one, he keeps himself busy by working in the hospital's ER. The head of the ER, Dr. Kitou Shoko, desperately wants to poach Asada from the cardiac department: his skills are exceptional and his position tenuous at best. Asada, Kato, Kitou, Noguchi, and Noguchi's rival on the hospital board engage in a delicate game, for on top of all of this, Asada wants Kitou's natural-genius anesthesiologist Dr. Arase Monji for his team.Meanwhile, Asada must collect and keep the best and brightest people he can find. His first teammate is Satohara Miki, a nurse who worked under him in the NGO. The second addition is Dr. Ijuuin Noboru, an intern who has yet to be corrupted by the politics and shenanigans of the hospital, but lacks confidence in his skills or the ability to act independently. Dr. Fujiyoshi Keiji joins after his own heart condition requires Asada to operate on him. Kato herself is added as first assistant.Once the team is assembled, their troubles only multiply.Team Medical Dragon was serialized in Big Comic Superior from 2002 to 2011, amassing 25 volumes overall. It received the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award for general manga in 2005. The story uses a cast of characters and focuses on many problems prevalent in medical care, such as human error, anticancer agent treatment, hospital infections, and a troubled health care system. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Asada is such a skilled surgeon that no one else in the hospital can ever hope to catch up with him. This comes to bite him when he performed a surgery on a gastric ulcer patient without without performing complete gastrectomy on the patient, when such would be the standard practice. Asada's operation was a success, but when the patient was sent to the Digestive Organ Department and suffered complications, the less-skilled surgeons were unable to perform Asada's feat and the patient died of blood loss. This would not have happened if Asada had just performed the gastrectomy as expected. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Noguchi and the rest of the hospital board. The board is outright stated to be democratic in name only, as it will vote for whomever Noguchi cares to nominate for a professorship. In fact, hospital politics are possibly the main focus of the story. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: The heroes are all quite good-looking, especially Asada, Katou, Miki and Ijyuuin. And the "good" doctors who still cares about the patients' well-being rather than politics (such as Fujiyoshi and Nakada) are still drawn nicely even if they aren't exactly Bishōnen. Meanwhile, the sleazy doctors, such as Kihara, Noguchi, and Sofue are... significantly less attractive. | |

Face Death with Dignity: Explored with a terminal lung cancer Patient of the Week, who was given an experimental anti-cancer drugs that causes her immense pain. After realising that she has cancer, both the patient and her husband decides to move to a hospice instead, and the picture of her taken before her death shows that she is much happier there than in the hospital. | |

Took a Level in Kindness | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Kirishima starts off as a manipulative and conniving jerkass who embodies the worst corruptions of the Japanese medical system. However, after he reconciles with Asada, and bonds with Kihara, Ijyuuin and Kunitachi's son, he drops most of his arrogance and genuinely grows to care for others. Ijyuuin later acknowledges that while Asada's wild Sink or Swim Mentor style would help him grow better, the steady and reliable guidance that Kirishima offers is the one he'd rather emulate. In the epilogue, Kihara also calls Kirishima as a compassionate person. | |

Patient of the Week | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_4f5f008e | comment |
Patient of the Week: There are three Batista cases, but Asada et al get night shift emergencies every once in a while. The Batista cases are pretty much forgotten as soon as their operations are over. Each of Asada's team gets their own POtW: Ijuuin takes charge of a terminal lung cancer patient being abused for drug trials, Kato must decide whether to take on the hospital's former head nurse as a Batista case, Arase has to save the life of the bartender at his usual joint, and Fujiyoshi is a twofer, being himself the Patient of the Week and having a daughter with a heart condition. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Asada. He was fired earlier because of his Jerkass nature, but was hired by Katou because of his skill. Dr. Arase is a drunk and abuses anaesthetics, but his uncanny ability to monitor and maintain a patient's condition and knock out anyone precisely by the count of seven gives him the Ultimate Job Security. | |

| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Professor Noguchi is easily the most despicable character in the series, being the worst embodiment of the ambitious Corrupt Corporate Executive among Meishin's higher ups. However, he does have a genuinely loving relationship with his wife, and this ends up redeeming him when Noguchi eventually gives up on his ambitions and retires to enjoy the remaining days of his life together with Sakie. | |

Commitment Issues: Asada values his freedom and independence, and hates being tied down by bureaucracy. He comes to Meishin under the stipulation that he's only staying until Katou manages to reach her goal, and eventually leaves to return to NGO after the professorship elections is over. Even though he comes to see Ijyuuin and the rest of the Batista Team as True Companions, he remains adamant that he will not be staying at the hospital. | |

Family Versus Career | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_dce6cd15 | comment |
Family Versus Career: The medical profession in Japan is so demanding that people who wants to go far in their career is constantly made to choose between spending time with family or focus on their work. Dr. Katou swears off marrying and starting a family, because she wants to focus on her goal to reform the highly obstructive medical system in Japan. She used to have a boyfriend, but her dedication to her career prevents her from having any meaningful love life with him, so they break up, and he goes on to marry someone else. Dr. Fujiyoshi, a single dad, has to leave his young daughter in the care of her grandparents because his work takes up most of his time. He briefly considers leaving Meishin to be closer with his girl, but ultimately decides that his skills and talents are more needed in Meishin. Dr. Isaka's husband wants to have a child, but Isaka herself isn't too keen on the idea because she fears the repercussions that she will face from the other women if she takes a maternity leave. Dr. Beppu, another single dad, has to juggle between taking care of his patients and his sickly son. Choosing one would often get him into trouble with the other. | |

Last-Name Basis: Most people in the medical field don't see each other as friends, so very few actually know anyone else's first names. | |

Asada. He was fired earlier because of his Jerkass nature, but was hired by Katou because of his skill. | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
| Team Medical Dragon (Manga) / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer : Ijuuin would go by the book if it weren't for Asada browbeating him into doing things in increasingly improbable but necessary ways. Also, Asada and Ijuuin are able to detect the diseased parts of a heart by touch, but Technician Kato can't and completely derails her original thesis topic towards finding a method that doesn't rely on intuition. | |
