Iryū - Team Medical Dragon ( Japanese 医 龍 -Team Medical Dragon-) is a doctor series of the genre Seinen -Manga published by Shogakukan , which appeared in Big Comic Superior magazine. The idea comes from Akira Nagai, who also acted as an author until his death. After his death, Taro Nogizaka, who was previously only responsible for the drawings, took over this activity. The series won the 50th Shogakukan Manga Prize and was translated into French.
Iryū-Team Medical Dragon is about the talented heart surgeon Ryūtaro Asada, who puts together a team of doctors at the Meishin University Hospital ( 明 真 大学 医学 部 ) to perform the surgical technique of the Batista operation.
action
Dr. Akira Katō, deputy professor of cardiac surgery at Meishin University Hospital, is coerced by her superior, Professor Takeo Noguchi, to help the hospital, especially cardiology, to become more famous , so that he is appointed hospital manager. In return he would appoint her as his successor as senior professor. The prospect of promotion incites the ambitious Kato to seek out the talented surgeon Dr. Ryūtaro Asada, whom she got to know while working as a Doctor Without Borders and saw his skills there during an emergency operation that she was watching.
She finds him withdrawn in northern Japan and is able to convince him to come to the university hospital. He only stipulates the condition that he can set up his own team there and that his lover Miki Nakahara, who is a nurse, can also go to the clinic. However, with his unconventional manner and methods, he does not meet with much approval in the clinic and is often in dispute with many professors, because they differ from Dr. Asada just want to make a profit and they don't care about the welfare of their patients.
Asada is quickly looking for more team members at the newcomer Dr. Noboru Ijūin, who is considered untalented. Gradually, the internist Dr. Keishi Fujiyoshi and the anesthetist Dr. Monji Arase to the team. Asada, Katō, Miki and the three above operate on several patients suffering from an enlarged heart using the Batista method. The patients survive and the clinic becomes more famous, but Prof. Noguchi is passed over when he is appointed head of the clinic and the team around Dr. Asada has to endure the professor's whims.
The team can withstand private discrepancies and attempts by envious colleagues at the clinic for a very long time, but in the further course of the manga there is more and more a break and the interpersonal relationships of the individual protagonists come more and more into focus, unlike at the beginning, where the Operations were in the foreground.
Background for the creation
The inventor and Akira Nagai, who was responsible for the plot until his death, was himself an internist, so the representation is very detailed and true to the truth. In the form of the manga, Nagai criticized the state of the Japanese health system.
“Based on the surgeon Ryûtarô Asada, who is brought as an outsider to a university clinic to set up a team for a Batista heart operation, 'Team Medical Dragon' vehemently criticizes the state of the Japanese health care system. Corrupt doctors, rigid hierarchies, training without practical experience, ignoring patient needs and much more are denounced here. "
