从美国堪萨斯州载誉归来的医生石川玄（石黑贤 饰）受聘进入天真楼医院，但映入眼帘的并非医生救死扶伤的场面，而是当班医生缺席失职、病患无人照顾的混乱场景。尤其不能让他忍受的是，天真楼的当家外科医生司马江太郎（织田裕二 饰）丝毫没有医者全力医治患者的责任心。司马决不在下班后继 续参与抢救工作，却可为了客观的报酬抢救议员的儿子；他和医疗器械商人关系暧昧，互通利益。最令石川气恼的，司马简直“视患者的生命如草芥”，在患者哪怕还有一丝生还希望时竟然放弃治疗。虽然司马医术高超，备受院方高层赞许，但这两个持这完全不同理念的医生仍然矛盾不断，在这一过程中，白衣天使外衣掩盖下的种种黑幕渐渐浮现出来……This is a story of two physicians who are complete opposites. Although he's a skilled surgeon, Dr. Shiba does not believe that every life is worth saving, but is willing to perform any surgery for the right price. On the other hand, Dr. Ishikawa is an idealist who believes that doctors should treat all patients equally and fight to protect every person's right to live. Therefore, Ishikawa quickly becomes liked by hospital staff while Shiba continues to make enemies.
