“Actress Yu Yamada, 25, will play a nurse for the first time in her acting career when she appears as Sayo Hamada in Fuji TV’s upcoming drama special, tentatively titled “Team Batista – Silence of the Nightingale.”
The drama special, to air on Fuji TV on Oct 9 at 9 p.m., follows on from the drama series “The Glorious Team Batista” which aired on Fuji TV last year. The series focused on a team of Japanese doctors and nurses who specialize in heart surgery known as the Batista procedure, an operation which carries a success rate of just 60%, and is no longer performed in the U.S. in lieu of a heart transplant.
Yamada looked quite fit in her nurse get-up, and seemed to be enjoying her new costume. “Actually it suits me more than I thought,” she said giggling, and added: “I was mistaken for a real nurse during filming.”

The manga version is more commonly known as “Team Medical Dragon”.
