Introduction	：	No doctor has the hand of God, but miracles happen in this hospital. Kazuto Kurihara is an internist who works at a hospital in Shinshu, Japan, and is not good at being sad. There is always a shortage of doctors here. It is a daily routine for him to treat patients in fields in which he does not specialize, and it is also a daily routine for him to not get any sleep for three days. Then, Kurihara receives an invitation to join the medical staff at his alma mater. If he returns to the university, he will have more time off and be able to spend more time with his beloved wife. He would also be able to study cutting-edge medicine. However, he wonders if it would not be better if there were doctors who could do their utmost to help patients who have been given up as “too late” by university hospitals and large hospitals. An unexpected gift from an elderly cancer patient, Ms. Azumi, pushes the back of the troubled Issho. Winner of the 10th Shogakukan Bunko Novel Award.

Brief comment:
Strangely enough, I seem to pick up books that are set in my hometown of Shinshu. This book is also set in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and the names of places I know well appeared in the book, which made me feel like I was reading a diary that was happening in my neighborhood. I was able to slowly enjoy the suffering of life that occurs in the field of medicine.
It seems that this book is part of a series, so I think I will pick it up again.
