I have watch all episodes so far and have enjoyed it. She is skilled and saves lives. I would suggest it as medical themed anime. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| If you want to watch something for accuracy, this 100% ain't it. But it's a nice show, to watch just for shiggles. |

Well, I'm a doctor too, and I also like Ishikawa san's voice acting.
I scored it merely 7. I liked how it started, but it got a bit boring to me as it continued.
| @Mahtaban interesting. All right, I'll probably let it finish and might watch it all as a batch. I watch in high speed if I get bored. |

I genuinely wanna know I’m not knowledgeable on medicine, surgeries and the like First off, I’m not really that knowledgeable myself, so feel free to take everything I say with a grain of salt, although I have some second hand knowledge, through close surgeon relatives and so on. There are probably a bunch of unrealistic stuff in the show, from absolutely unbelievable scenarios such as performing perfect surgery with cake knives, having patients that are deemed hopeless saved by basic hygiene and a relatively short period of care, with zero lives lost or any instances of infection (virtually the highest cause of death, in modern day hospitals). But I think the biggest one for me for sure is Elise’s attitude, “I’ll definitely save you” is an anime line, no actual doctor worth their salt would ever say anything like that, especially regarding people in critical condition, it might sound nice, but it’s actually very irresponsible and completely unprofessional. That doesn’t mean that the show is bad, or that the author didn’t do their research about the subject, but I think it’s fair to call it unrealistic. Have you watched the show? |

I watched the same show, yet I disagree with your description. |

| The medical stuff is fairly interesting (for this type of show) but otherwise it's painfully generic, so proceed with caution. |

I just want to say I agree with your points. Maybe not "unrealistic", exactly, more "dumbed down" and "dramatized." It just feels like the writer had absolutely no background in medicine and read some Wikipedia and WebMD pages to do research. So nothing would be "incorrect," but they'd be just hard to believe and ridiculous. On OP: If you watch this as a medical show, you'll be very disappointed. If you watch this as a medical-themed show, you'll get some mild enjoyment out of it, if you're not bored out of your mind. |

| @ejleon Are you just arguing because you don't like that they aren't exclusively praising the show? Because that's what it sounds like. Why are you so defensive about it? It's not your child. I've watched 9 episodes so far (so not entirely caught up yet, but alas) and their comment explained the show's issues pretty well – I'm used to medical inaccuracies and "miracles" in medical shows, 99% of them have them so this is hardly an outlier, but this show goes out of its way to create ridiculous scenarios for her to "solve" to show off her medical sainthood, actual science be damned. Just like the person you are arguing against, Elise's constant reassurances that she WILL 100% save any patient (and yes, she says it to basically every patient/their relatives that she encounters) have rubbed me the wrong way quite a bit, it's supposed to be hopeful but just comes across as unprofessional to anyone who actually works in the medical field. Stop saying that, you can't guarantee that, is what I wish I could tell her. So, to answer the actual question of this thread: It's quite enjoyable, the premise is unique and it's nice to have a competent female lead. Her double-isekai situation is actually relevant to the plot and not just a set-up, and there's quite a bit of romance and political intrigue in there too. It really just comes down to whether you are the type who can turn off their brain when it comes to medical inaccuracies in TV shows with that subject. If not, this will be pure suffering. |

| @betaweeb I want to second this partially, because no surgeries were performed with cave knives, and the procedure that used a table knife was an emergency that could not wait for the right knife to be available. And also because no one that was deemed hopeless was saved by basic hygiene. the patients in the ward still suffer from hopeless conditions but now simply have better quality of life and best chances of not getting secondary illnesses due to poor hygiene. But there are a few instances where it might feel unrealistic specially because the anime takes place on a parallel world and technology evolved in a different way and pace. so somethings that in our timeline would only show up later, compared to what it seems to be the depicted era on the show, are already established in this world. There's also a complete lack of references to anaesthetics in the anime, which at first will make it seem like there's none. |

| I honestly highly recommend it, though I might be biased since I loved the manhwa, lol. But my parents, who are both doctors (dad’s also a surgeon), watch it with me and they enjoy it very much. My dad even guesses the illness based on the symptoms, etc before it is revealed by Elise and he is correct. xD He also knows the treatments done, makes it extra enjoyable for us since they can relate to the show. |

| @mayeesison quite an active thread. I may watch the show all at once after some other shows finish such as Bokuyaba, Jaku Chara and Dosanko gal. |
