Dr. Sophie Schöner is to treat patients in a hospital in Berlin as a trial with traditional Chinese medicine. It quickly comes to a conflict with the local chief physician. The unequal balance of power provides professionally for plenty of controversy. The fact that the two are attractive does not make things easier.
In the third part of the story about Dr. Sophie Schöner and Dr. Wu, Professor Fritz collapses during an operation - the staff puzzles over the cause. The clinic management seizes the opportunity to get rid of the 60-year-old. Dr. Wu takes over the post, even though he was seeking to work with Sophie in his own practice. And that causes trouble...
In the fourth part of the story about Dr. Sophie Schöner and Dr. Wu, the two work together again in their old clinic after their "joint practice" project ended sooner than expected. Dr. Wu is standing in for the seriously ill clinic director Professor Fritz, which opens up unimagined career opportunities for him, but he is now also under constant pressure and extreme tension. On top of this, Sophie is pregnant, which further exacerbates the strained relationship between the two. In order to provide a little compensation for the completely overworked staff, Hans feverishly tries to make financial savings that he could credit to his employees as a pay rise. But then everything turns out quite differently.
