Tokushige Akira works as a general practitioner in a newly established general medicine department of a hospital. The specialty of general medicine is the 19th new field in Japan’s medical system, which was previously classified into 18 specialties. Doctor Tokushige Akira examines his patients and takes into account their lifestyles, home environment, and state of mind, regardless of their gender or age. His greatest weapon is not his surgical skills or his ability to detect a disease immediately, but his questioning of patients and listening to what they say. Sometimes he sees through a lie hidden behind a patient’s story. Through repeated conversations, he is able to find the best solution and lend a helping hand to their way of life.
