Television drama under the title Patient Chart Prayer was broadcast from October 8 to December 17, 2022, in the "Saturday Drama" slot on Nippon TV.[6][9] The leading role was played by Yuta Tamamori.[6]
Mami Fujimori, the producer, explained the reason for the dramatization: "In this work, there are no super doctors or black intrigue within the hospital, as is often the case in Japanese medical dramas.[10] I thought it was very appealing to see inexperienced and flawed doctors trying their best for their patients and being there for them."[10]
For the dramatization, the obstetrics and gynecology in episode 3 and general medicine in episode 4 were newly added as original stories,[11] and many scenes not found in the original novel, such as cheerful interactions with fellow residents, were added.[11] Mikito Chinen, the author of the original story, observed the filming of the drama.[12] He saw a scene in which the residents interacted with each other and commented, "The relationships between fellow residents were very realistically portrayed, reminding me of my residency days."[12]
The drama is filmed at Chiba University Hospital in Chiba Prefecture.[13] The hospital is famous for being used for filming famous Japanese medical dramas such as "Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon"[14] and "Shiroi Kyotō".[15]
Synopsis (Television drama)

When he is stuck in treating a patient in his charge, he reads the patient's medical chart and then comes up with a solution.
