    Summary

    They tell you in medical school that the human body is a masterpiece. That it’s a temple. That it’s resilient. They’re lying. The human body is a machine. It’s a collection of levers, pulleys, and pumps that break the moment you push them too hard. It’s messy, it’s fragile, and it leaks.

    I’m Dr. Shoko Ieiri. I specialize in Orthopedics because bones don’t lie to you. A fracture is a fracture. You put in a screw, you set the rod, and the structure holds. It’s physics. It’s simple. It’s the soft tissue that ruins everything. The nerves that misfire. The hearts that beat for the wrong people. The brains that convince you that working an eighty-hour week with your ex-boyfriend is a sustainable life choice.

    Welcome to Seattle Metropolitan. We’re all exhausted, we’re all medicated, and we’re all holding the scalpel.

    Let’s see what breaks first.
