Source-derived summary

Surgeons (Chinese: 外科风云) is a 2017 Chinese television series produced by Hou Hongliang, directed by Li Xue and written by Zhu Zhu; starring Jin Dong and Bai Baihe. The series aired from 17 April to 10 May 2017 on Beijing TV and Zhejiang TV.

Synopsis

The story originates from a medical malpractice many years ago that resulted in the death of a car accident victim; who has been successfully resuscitated but later died of drug allergy. Zhang Shumei, the nurse who was on duty that night, was forced to resign after being suspected of accidentally killing the patient. Her seven-year-old son, Zhuang Shu did not believe the accusation, and got into a fight at the hospital, causing him to be held up at the police station. Unable to pick up his four-year-old sister, Zhuang Shu later finds out that she was abducted while he was away. Traumatized by the false accusation and the abduction of her daughter, Zhang Shumei eventually committed suicide.

28 years later, Zhuang Shu returns to the hospital as a surgeon; intent on unraveling the secret behind his family's misfortune while searching for his long-lost sister. He meets Lu Chenxi, a thoracic surgeon who is the daughter of the patient that died under Zhang Shumei’s care 30 years ago. Together, they investigate the mystery and fall in love in the process.
