Doctor X Season 2 (2013)

The story continues with Michiko still working as a freelance doctor at the Teito University Hospital. Enjoying herself at a horse race in Hokkaido from an invite by Dr Kanbara Akira, Michiko happens to chance upon a scene at the owners’ box. The elegant woman draped in a fur coat, sipping champagne with her handsome younger lover. Her attention is soon diverted to the race, as she cheers on the horse that she had bet on.Suddenly, the said horse veered into the path of another horse, causing a nasty fall. Michiko then overhears the elegant woman, who happens to be the injured horse’s owner, lamenting, “A hundred million yen horse, euthanised just like that”. To which the vet replies, “Even a surgery will result in 100% failure”. Michiko then chimes in, “If it was me, I would succeed.”A few weeks later, in a conference at the Teito University Hospital, the Internal Medicine Executive Manager announced that there would be a patient checking into the hospital for treatment of osteosarcoma of the thighbone. The Chief Surgeon, Hiruma, and all his staff concur that the best treatment would be to amputate the leg, when a voice pipes up, “I disagree!”, that heralds the appearance of Michiko!
