RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

EPISODE 4

FOCUS ON YOUR EMOTIONS AND PICK 1 CARD

REVERSED WHEEL OF FORTUNE

"The Reversed Wheel of Fortune Card indicates

a confusing situation and approaching negative changes"?

Damn it. What was it again?

I didn't even get to watch their surgery, so what more am I supposed to write?

Didn't they order a placenta pathology for this surgery?

Then it should've been marked.

You're right. What?

You're a genius.

Didn't they also put a balloon in the uterus?

That's missing too.

Right.

And I noticed earlier that there was a typo in Ms. Kim Sin-u's chart.

Where? I read it all.

It was near the middle.

That one. "Doppler."

D-O-P-P-L… It's correct.

"D" should be capitalized since it's derived from a person's name.

Yes. You're right.

I appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't want you to get scolded again.

It's pretty hard to watch that.

Ask me anytime.

I like teaching and helping others.

You'll be able to do it well soon.

Sure. Okay.

Arriving at the lobby in five minutes. Don't be late.

Geez, why is she here?

Hey, it's finally out!

What is that?

Ta-da.

Check this out.

Don't we look good? Look.

Yi-young.

She was just being herself.

She never listens.

You should've posed properly.

Who does an old-school jump shot these days?

Don't you know classics are timeless?

You were embarrassed then, but aren't you glad you took it?

If it wasn't for me,

you guys would've missed out on these first-year memories.

Let's take one every year.

And in our second year…

Someone's calling.

OH JOO-YOUNG

I'm going now.

I'll be right back.

-Where are you going? -To meet someone.

-Who? -You don't need to know.

Geez, you're so curious.

She always leaves whenever we mention "second year."

Right, I forgot the adhesion barrier.

She didn't log out.

Bring your friends. I'll treat them.

I told you we're not friends. We're just coworkers.

Why make friends when I'm quitting soon?

Geez, you're impossible.

No wonder you never have friends.

I really can't do this anymore.

That's enough.

Really? Then should I quit today?

Or tomorrow?

She doesn't mean it.

We all keep a resignation letter handy.

What for?

Let her be. She'll be the only one who loses out if she quits.

Why should I care?

Let her be a third-time resident applicant.

I hope she doesn't quit.

I could help her with charting and study sessions.

Hey! Me too!

Help me out too. I think I'll get fired even before I write my resignation letter.

They're short on residents. I doubt you'll get fired.

I see.

You only speak facts, don't you?

You guys speak completely different languages.

No wonder you can't communicate.

-You startled me. -Oh Yi-young!

Did she throw this away?

I worked hard to print this.

She must've dropped it while leaving.

You can comfort others too.

Who said anything about quitting right now?

Every resident thinks about quitting.

Right?

You do have an ounce of conscience and a tiny bit of common sense, don't you?

Of course I do.

Come on. I wouldn't be able to do this job otherwise.

It's unlike you to splurge like this.

I didn't pay.

Do-won did.

This one's their signature cake.

This is the new release. And what was this again?

His favorite.

Now that you work together, you know his preferences too.

It's my favorite too.

Geez, you and your love for pastries. Have it all.

It would've been nice if he'd eaten with us.

He said he wasn't busy at all today and told me to eat before leaving.

-Maybe there's an emergency? -I wouldn't be here in that case.

Good point.

-Did you say I was coming? -You?

Yes, I did.

-Did you two fight? -No.

-He must've scolded you. -No, he didn't.

-Do your job well! -I am!

-How can I believe that? -Think however you want.

I didn't mean it anyway.

You little… Unbelievable.

Why are you here anyway?

Did you actually come to check up on me?

Yes, I came to see if you're behaving.

Geez. I'm now 41.95 million won in debt.

-Once I'm done-- -Okay.

Focus on eating, or you'll have an upset stomach.

I'm thinking of trying again.

Getting pregnant.

I had a consultation at the fertility center today.

How come? I thought you didn't want to try again.

Now that six months have passed, I have the desire to try again.

I'm still thinking about it.

It's a shame to give up after only trying for four years.

I want to try again before I hit 40.

I haven't told Seung-won yet.

It's a secret.

Just…

focus on raising me first.

I'm still far from being a proper adult.

So you're aware.

HUSBAND

Hi, honey.

Yes, I stopped by the hospital.

I saw Do-won briefly, and now I'm with Yi-young.

I asked.

He said "no" to a blind date.

I can't ask him that.

You can ask. You're his brother.

Yi-young?

Okay. Bye.

What blind date?

Seung-won wanted to hook him up with one of his coworkers.

But Do-won refused.

I see.

Hey, by the way,

is he seeing anyone at the hospital?

I don't think so.

Or…

Maybe any rumors about him liking someone. Does he not like anyone?

I…

don't think so.

Wait.

Does anyone like him?

Did anyone say that they're interested in him?

I'm sure there's someone.

Don't you know?

There is one person.

Right? There is someone, isn't there?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Don't ask me.

-How would I know? -Hey!

Geez. Did you have to shout?

So do you know or not?

I'm telling you to drop it.

Are you serious right now?

Thank you for calling.

I'll be right there.

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

Who is it?

Knock, knock. I heard the news.

What news?

That you have the same taste as me.

I like women.

What? Well…

Me too. I like them a lot.

That's not what I meant. I heard you like tennis.

I see. And?

Why don't we create a Yulje tennis team and meet up regularly?

We could socialize and exercise.

Befriending other departments can't be bad.

Every Friday at eight o'clock.

Fridays don't work for me.

Right. You're busy.

Do it without me.

How can we? You're the team chairman.

OB-GYN 4TH-YEAR RESIDENT LOUNGE

-Me? -Yes, we all agreed on it.

I wish it were some other day too, but they're all free on Fridays.

So just do it without me. I'm busy on Fridays.

I know. Everyone at the hospital knows.

You eat Chinese food at the food court,

organize the next week's surgeries in the conference room,

buy two cans of beer at the convenience store on your way home,

and then, tudum, end your Friday night with Netflix.

You live a boring, lonely life, yet enjoy it.

Mr. Boring Routine.

We all know.

It's super fun.

That's what keeps me going. I endure the whole week just to do that.

Why am I wasting time talking about this with you?

Right. I'm sorry.

If you're sorry, go do your job.

I also need to go in--

Go somewhere else.

Should I do that?

I'll see you later in the sixth-floor conference room.

The research topic is

"predicting preterm birth through cervical elasticity measurements."

As of now, Dr. Ki and Dr. Park are doing the research.

I'd like one of you

to handle the statistical analysis of this data,

oversee the overall progress, and write the abstract.

If it turns out well,

we'll submit it to ISUOG

which will be held in Italy this year.

You'll be able to attend a conference abroad.

Your name will be listed as the first author if you do well.

You'll be learning a lot.

Why don't you give it a try, Yi-young?

Me?

I…

I don't have the ability or diligence for that.

I'm sorry.

We won't know until you try.

Judging by your face, you seem interested.

Right?

Okay.

I'll give it a try.

She'll write the first paper.

Then Sa-bi, Nam-kyung, and Jae-il will write in this order.

-Got it? -Yes, ma'am.

Please email me a summary of the progress of your assigned research

at the end of each month.

Yes, ma'am.

Gosh, Professor Seo is so eloquent.

I mean, I was raising my hand before I even knew it.

I was totally persuaded when she mentioned Italy.

When I came to my senses, my hand was already up.

But how will I make time for it?

Why did she ask us to raise our hand anyway?

Wasn't she looking for volunteers?

This is so unfair.

You're right. It's completely unfair.

Exactly.

Why give the opportunity to someone who wants to quit?

What a waste of opportunity.

Hey.

We didn't mean to pry.

You didn't log out when you left.

Sa-bi is just upset since you said you're quitting.

I know you didn't mean it.

We're friends, so please understand.

Understand what? That she's upset because I said I'd quit?

That sounds like an excuse to me.

Or that she's upset since I'm doing the paper?

Both.

That's not true. It's the latter.

She's upset over nothing.

I have a hair appointment. Bye. Good luck with your shift.

Good luck.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm sorry.

I'm so used to wearing my surgery gown.

I see. You must be a doctor.

Yes, I am.

-You must've set aside some time to come. -Yes, I barely managed to make time.

Yes?

Dr. Pyo, it's about Ms. Kim Hyeong-ja.

You prescribed an NSAID, but she says she's allergic to it.

I think you need to prescribe a different painkiller.

Then give her acetaminophen.

I'll type up the prescription myself.

I'm sorry for the hassle.

Okay. Sorry.

Dr. Pyo, that's not how you should work.

What? Hello, ma'am.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, so why are you sorry?

Sorry?

Was that a nurse?

Yes.

It's May already.

You should stop being a pushover.

You're a resident after all.

Right.

But what about it?

Thank you for teaching me so much, Dr. Myeong.

It's nothing, really.

I just wanted to introduce some new hair products.

Don't you think you bought too much?

I realized I needed all of them.

Thank goodness we bought this shampoo.

I put in plenty of samples for you to use at the hospital.

Really?

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll come again.

Goodbye.

-Thank you -Goodbye.

They're so not street-smart, are they?

Gosh, should I have bought another conditioner?

I agree. We could've just stocked up.

Exactly.

-I'm headed that way. -I'm taking the subway.

Okay. Bye.

Get home safe.

Do you think Yi-young will really quit?

I told you she didn't mean it.

I told you that people don't always mean what they say.

She should just quit already if she's going to anyway,

so I can work on Professor Seo's paper.

-Who is it? -Sir, it's Oh Yi-young, first-year.

-What is it? An emergency? -No, it's not.

I'm on call today,

and I didn't want to call the professor at this hour.

I just need your confirmation.

Sure.

Patient Woo Jeong-hyo's water broke about ten hours ago.

Should I start antibiotics?

What's her temperature?

It's 37°C.

Let's wait a bit longer and start once it's been 12 hours.

And Ms. Kang Hyeon-yeong who had postpartum hemorrhage.

Her hemoglobin level is 10 g/dL. When should we follow up?

She's…

Is she Professor Seo's patient from today's surgery?

Correct.

-Let's do it on POD 2. -Okay.

One more thing.

This one feels weak because she hasn't eaten yet.

She can't eat now as no restaurant is open.

What should we do?

-Who is she? -Me.

OB-GYN 4TH-YEAR RESIDENT LOUNGE

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Hello.

Sa-bi, you're early today.

This is when I always come.

I see.

And breakfast? Let's go to the convenience store and--

I always have this.

I see.

You're well-prepared.

Okay. I'll see you later then.

Okay. Bye.

Hi.

Hey, you're here.

Can you stop shaking your leg?

What?

Right. Okay.

And that's my pen.

Okay. Sorry.

By the way…

Yes, ma'am.

I'm reviewing Ms. Hwangbo Bo-hyeon's case.

Me?

I've never done that before--

Today will be my first.

Yes, ma'am.

Was that Professor Seo?

Yes, there's a multidisciplinary prenatal consultation with CS.

She wants me to explain it.

A multidisciplinary consultation?

I didn't know first-years got to attend them.

Me neither.

What for?

Because of the mother? Or the baby?

She's a mother who had a stillbirth at 32 weeks due to Ebstein anomaly.

The same anomaly was detected again in the recent ultrasound.

Those cases are very rare.

Will they do an amniotic fluid test?

Don't tell me you're assisting.

I wouldn't know.

Have you read any papers on fetal Ebstein anomaly?

Or maybe in a textbook?

I don't know everything.

That's true.

Yes?

I'm on my way.

Damn it. Whatever.

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION

Twenty weeks and how many days?

It's been 20 weeks and two days.

What about the first pregnancy?

I wasn't here then,

so I'm not sure.

How is that an excuse?

I'm sorry.

During her first pregnancy in 2021,

Ebstein anomaly was detected during the 20-week detailed ultrasound.

The pregnancy continued but ended in stillbirth.

At that time--

Her first pregnancy, so an amniocentesis wasn't performed?

Yes, that's correct.

It's all in the record.

How is the attending doctor explaining this to me

without properly understanding her own patient?

I'm sorry.

What's the issue with the heart?

The tricuspid valve position is abnormal, so the left ventricle--

Right ventricle.

Right.

The right ventricle is small, and the blood…

-flows back to the left atrium-- -Right atrium.

Pressure in the right atrium is causing the atrial hypertrophy.

Right.

How will the guardian understand and give you their consent

when you know so little about your patient's case?

I'm sorry.

-You're here. -Hey. Delivery?

Yes. Sorry.

Hey.

Why are you grilling my resident at my hospital?

I wasn't grilling her. I just asked a few questions.

I'll take care of my residents. You just worry about CS.

I have no residents to worry about.

We got three newbies this year, and I haven't seen one in days.

I don't know. Whatever.

You're envious, aren't you?

Yes, of just one of them.

Thanks for coming.

Our pediatric thoracic surgeon, Professor Cha Byeong-seon,

wanted you to take a look.

Yes, he called.

Take a look at this.

Ebstein anomaly was detected during the 19-week detailed ultrasound

of Ms. Hwangbo Bo-hyeon.

We're planning to perform an amniocentesis for genetic testing

during her next visit.

The same heart defect was found during her first pregnancy two years ago.

We couldn't determine the genetic cause since genetic testing wasn't performed.

She had a stillbirth at 32 weeks.

The heart defect is identical.

I hope the baby weighs at least 2.7 kg at birth.

The surgery will be riskier if the baby is too small.

I think we can manage

if there is no heart failure or cardiomegaly until 34 weeks.

What's your take?

It's a milder type compared to two years ago.

The blood is flowing well through the pulmonary artery.

The baby is growing appropriately for gestational age.

But it's still only 20 weeks, so we need to monitor longer.

Schedule a consultation with the mother. I'll be there.

Let's discuss the results in the next multidisciplinary meeting.

Got it.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY: MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS

Let's do well so we can drink that this time.

Yes, if it pans out,

then we'll open it.

Okay, that's it for the day.

Now that we're done, applaud!

I'm sorry.

Dr. Oh.

We're discussing a life-and-death issue, and you're sleepy?

I'm sorry.

I was on call yesterday and couldn't sleep at all.

Right, you don't sleep when you're on call,

and you're expected to work the next day.

Yes, sir.

You remind me a lot of someone.

There's this guy who always has something to say

even when he makes

mistakes.

Speak of the devil.

What is it now, Dr. Do Jae-hak? This is your third time calling today.

I just have a question. It's about my patient, Ms. Kim Jin-hee.

Okay.

A shunt revision?

-You can go. -Okay.

Yes.

Is she on epinephrine?

Okay.

Here.

You're slightly burning up.

How come? I wonder why.

An excellent doctor will come to treat you in 30 minutes.

Okay. Gosh.

Please go down, fever.

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Sorry?

See?

Even you can't hold onto them for long since they're too cold.

So what made you think of putting them under her armpits?

I'm sorry. She said her fever was rising.

Of course her fever is rising.

That's why she's getting chills!

And yet you gave ice packs to a patient with chills.

Would you want these freezing ice packs if you were her?

No.

Did you think putting those on her and looking at her lovingly

would make her fever go down?

I'm sorry.

You should've notified me!

I knew you were coming soon.

And her fever kept hovering around 37.7°C.

The medication wasn't really working either.

I had to notify you to give an injection.

But I couldn't do that

because even I was unsure of myself. Well…

I felt bad about calling you so early in the morning.

That's exactly why you shouldn't call for unnecessary things.

Call for urgent situations like this!

Yes, it's my fault.

I'm sorry.

Seriously.

Gosh, this is infuriating.

You and your apologies.

You'd better not.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Cha isn't someone who gets annoyed by such calls.

You could call her at dawn,

and she'll still come right away.

Everyone knows that. Didn't you know?

Dr. Um, you made a mistake.

Yes, it's my fault.

We're waiting for Dr. Um's prescription now.

Really?

We'll be quick.

Dr. Um.

I'm sorry, I'll do it right away.

You're apologizing night and day.

Gosh, you're an idiot.

Yes. I am an idiot.

You're the reason the nurses look down on us

and dump their work on us.

About that surgery note…

Yes, Doctor.

They were twins, but you wrote it on the singleton form.

Me?

Did I do that?

Yes, could you rewrite it on the form for twins?

I'll fix it right away. I'm sorry.

No, it's not your fault. The file format was wrong.

The content was pretty good.

I see.

Right, Ms. Min Ju-hee.

She also had twins after a salpingectomy just like this case,

so use that as your reference.

Yi-young wrote it, and she did a pretty good job.

Okay.

By the way, have you eaten?

I left some pizza in the on-call room, so have some--

Thank you, but I have no appetite.

Goodbye.

I taught her how to do this.

AUTHOR: R1 OH YI-YOUNG SAVE EMPTY DOCUMENT 1?

How could you lose the data?

Everyone has wasted their time this morning, thanks to you.

What have you done?

The Witch has exploded again.

I can't hear anything.

So why am I sweating?

I was happy about the study being canceled.

I feel bad now.

Yi-young has definitely lost interest.

I mean, how could you lose the data?

Professor Seo won't let this one slide.

It's either "You're banned from the OR" or "Don't let me hear you breathing."

I bet it's one of them.

What? Aren't they the same thing?

Then who'll assist Professor Seo's surgery?

-I'm not going. -Me neither.

We're busy in Gynecology.

Then,

should I go?

Yes.

God damn it.

That stupid computer.

I definitely did it before I left.

Kim Sa-bi.

You also saw it, didn't you?

What? Yes.

Why didn't you save it?

We're grateful that the study got canceled though.

Hey, what did the professor say?

I'm to prepare all the study materials for the next three months.

As for surgeries…

I'm stuck with them forever.

She wants me to attend every single one of them.

Geez. That's absolutely the worst.

I don't know what to say to comfort you.

Don't say anything.

Okay.

Let's say you comforted me too.

I heard you got scolded again.

I did.

In my four years as a resident,

I've never seen anyone lose study materials.

I didn't…

I'm sorry.

-Did you forget you were scolded? -No, I didn't.

I took her words to heart.

Just brush it off.

Forget about the scolding and focus.

Make a mistake in here, and it won't just end with a scolding.

You know that, right?

I do.

Hello.

The patient has a history of two myomectomies,

so there could be severe adhesions.

-Make sure to maintain good visibility. -Yes, ma'am.

Do-won will make the uterine incision.

Yes, ma'am.

SURGERY IN PROGRESS

Let's open the uterovesical serosa first.

Yes, ma'am.

Curvilinear on both sides.

A CURVED LINE

Push the serosa down.

Okay.

Let's make the uterine incision.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm so sorry.

-Are you okay? -Yes, the field is safe.

Why was this upside down?

What do I do? I'm really sorry!

What should I do?

What should I do? I'm sorry!

That's enough. It's okay.

Give me the scalpel.

-Can you apply fundal with your left hand? -Yes, ma'am.

Let's get the baby out in one minute.

Go straight to the ER once we deliver the baby.

Yes, ma'am.

Remove the instrument.

-Fundal. -Yes, ma'am.

The baby is out.

Hi.

It's a baby girl, born at 2:20 p.m.

Good. You should go.

-Make a call to the ER, please. -Yes, ma'am.

Will you be okay? The bleeding seems to have stopped.

It's okay. I have Yi-young.

What are you doing? Switch places.

Pardon?

It's nothing serious.

It happens often.

The patient is the most important. You know that, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Cut.

Please give a pair to Dr. Oh too.

Yes, ma'am.

The patient plans to have a second child, so we need to do a good suture.

Yes, ma'am.

-Pull a bit tighter. -Yes, ma'am.

Proper approximation will prevent the tissue from separating.

Yes, ma'am.

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

This is GYN Ward 101.

I see.

Okay, I understand.

Goodbye.

Doctor, it's Ms. Hwang Su-yeong in Room 1018.

Her SBP is 180.

She's controlling her blood pressure with beta blockers,

so could you write a prescription?

Dr. Pyo, the prescription…

Dr. Pyo?

Yes?

Oh, you didn't hear me.

Ms. Hwang Su-yeong's SBP is 180.

Well… If you prescribe beta blockers, I'll--

I already did.

I see. Thank you.

One more thing.

-Ms. Yang Jang-hee in Room 1012. -Yes?

Please check her I/O every two hours.

Every two hours?

I don't think she needs that much monitoring.

I've put in the order.

Yes, ma'am.

Doctor.

It's a small cut. Why are you wrapping it so much?

Your mother called

and demanded perfect treatment both aesthetically and functionally.

Mom? What mom?

-Professor Seo. -Geez.

The person who did this is going to feel extremely guilty.

Do you think so?

Can I help you?

Oh, she's the guilty one.

I see.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I also cut Professor Seo many times.

These things happen sometimes.

Does it hurt?

No.

Not one bit.

Why do you feel so guilty? I said I was fine.

How's the patient?

There was less bleeding than expected, and her uterine contractions are normal.

That's good.

Did you assist well?

Did you suture the wound nicely?

Yes, sir.

I'm truly sorry.

I was focusing. I just felt like I needed to do something.

I was in a haste. I'm really sorry.

I said I'm okay. I'm really fine. Just go.

-Let me rest. -Let me take a look.

What's there to see? I'm okay, so go.

-But I'm worried. -It's fine.

Obstetrics, quick. It's an emergency.

AMBULANCE ENTRANCE ONLY

119 EMERGENCY SERVICES

She's 20 weeks pregnant. Her water broke.

She was on her way here as an outpatient.

Hwangbo Bo-hyeon, age 38.

Current temperature, 39°C. Blood pressure 90 over 60.

This way, please.

That's…

Ms. Hwangbo Bo-hyeon

was scheduled for an amniocentesis this afternoon.

But her water broke.

There's almost no amniotic fluid left.

We've canceled her scheduled test for now.

Professor.

The blood test result shows that the WBC count is over 18,000,

and the CRP has increased to 30.

It appears the amniotic sac ruptured due to chorioamnionitis.

Her temperature is 40°C.

Considering her blood pressure isn't rising,

it seems to have progressed to sepsis.

I'm afraid…

the baby…

The chorioamnionitis infection has spread within the uterus

and is progressing to a systemic infection.

I'm afraid continuing the pregnancy will be difficult.

No, Doctor! I don't want that…

The baby is currently 20 weeks and three days old.

It's less than 300 grams.

As you know, the baby won't be able to survive

even if it's born.

Why is this happening to me? What did I do wrong this time?

Last time,

the baby was fine until 32 weeks despite a heart problem.

You must be mistaken. I don't want to.

Doctor.

Just one day.

Let me keep the baby for just one more day.

Please let me be a mother for one more day.

Only I can feel it.

The baby is still alive.

My baby can hold on, Doctor.

You'll be at risk if the sepsis worsens.

We need to proceed with induced labor quickly--

Please save my baby, Doctor.

Please. Let me meet my baby.

Please! I'll do anything!

Let's stop here. Okay?

Let's stop.

I don't want to say goodbye again!

I don't want to! I can't!

Let's stop…

I know it's difficult

to cope with the process of letting go.

But currently,

vaginal delivery is the best option for her.

We'll proceed quickly with induced labor.

Okay.

Is it the same as before?

Yes.

And,

regarding the baby's heart defect…

Would you like to have it tested?

My wife thinks

that our previous baby didn't die.

She thinks it just left for a while and has returned again this time.

She felt guilty for sending the baby away all alone.

She said she wanted to meet the baby and apologize.

Throughout her pregnancy, she was too scared to sleep soundly.

She'll probably

want to meet the baby again.

We'll do the test.

My wife wants that as well,

but she probably feels too bad for the baby to say it.

An amniocentesis isn't possible right now.

We'll proceed with another test as I explained before.

These doctors will explain everything again.

Okay.

By the way…

Will it be painless?

Yes.

We'll prepare everything well.

Do-won.

Let's have Dr. Oh handle the tests

for Ms. Hwangbo's baby.

And have her practice suturing when you have time.

She has good hands.

I want her to do perineal suturing next time.

Yes. Okay.

I asked her to gather the research data.

Don't worry about it.

Yes. That's right.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Oh Yi-young, email me the references on premature labor for the introduction

by this afternoon.

Yes, Doctor?

Well… She kept getting angry whenever I tried to do the pelvic exam.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll try to do it without causing any pain.

Goodbye.

OH YI-YOUNG, EMAIL ME THE REFERENCES ON PREMATURE LABOR FOR THE INTRODUCTION

BY THIS AFTERNOON

Over here! Please come quickly!

Doctor, are you busy?

Yes.

It's about Ms. Min Yeong-sil's surgery tomorrow.

We're going to add antibiotics to normal saline.

Didn't I already order that?

Yes, but usually, antibiotics are mixed with 50 cc of NS.

The prescription says 100 cc.

Could you please modify it?

Isn't it supposed to be 100?

I'm sure it is. Geez.

Okay, I understand.

I've reordered it with 50 cc.

Ta-da! Today seems quieter than--

-Don't say that. Keep your mouth shut. -Right.

Okay.

Nothing unusual in the ward, is there?

Of course. There is something.

What? What is it?

-I got even for you. -Even?

To whom am I supposed to prescribe an even number?

No, not that kind of "even."

-Nurse Ju-yeon. -What?

You guys were in there last time.

In there?

What?

-What? -What?

What?

-What? -What are you saying?

-What is this? -What do you…

Hey, Nurse Ju-yeon.

-Don't you feel tired? -Yes.

Ta-da. There are almonds inside.

Thank you.

-Going to Room 1012? -Yes.

-Did the surgery go well? -Yes, it was superfast.

Yi-young.

Professor Seo said to email the materials…

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Geez. Greedy with food, aren't you?

-By the way, have you seen Yi-young? -Yes.

Where is she? What's she doing?

What else? Getting an earful from Seo Jung-min again.

-Why? -Beats me.

Seriously. How many times has she been scolded?

What if she really quits?

Have you seen Jae-il?

He said he was going to eat tteokbokki with the nurses.

But he can't even handle spicy food.

You two must be close. You even know his preference.

Hardly.

I believe he mentioned it before.

Did he?

Pyo Nam-kyung speaking.

I'll be right there.

I'm leaving. Enjoy your meal.

-Doctor. -Yes?

-It's about Ms. Oh Mi-ok. -Okay.

She's getting her chemo right now and feels very nauseous.

I think you should check on her before Professor Jo's rounds.

Okay.

Do you feel very nauseous?

What if we stop the chemo for now,

give her some hydration, and administer an antiemetic?

I'll give you an antiemetic first.

For her next chemo session,

let's use an antiemetic patch the day before.

Okay.

The medication is almost finished though.

It's okay.

Throw up until you feel better. It's okay.

Nurse Cho-won!

Coming.

-Please hold it. -Okay.

-Doctor. -Yes?

-I need an antiemetic prescription. -Right. Okay.

-I'll bring the medication. -Okay.

Nurse Cho-won, I prescribed metoclopramide.

Okay.

MEDICATION USED FOR NAUSEA AND VOMITING

Okay. I'll head up now.

It's become such a habit for us that our hands move automatically.

Don't you feel better now? You must've been so uncomfortable.

Thank you.

The medication is working well.

I thought the cleaner would be here soon.

I was worried about the other patients in the room, so I just cleaned it up.

There wasn't much to clean anyway.

Professor Jo will give you an earful

if he smells anything, you know?

Right.

I replaced the IV line since she had to change her clothes. Please check.

I'm sorry.

I was the only one who didn't help.

I was just doing my job.

You should go get changed.

I'll finish up here.

Oh, but the professor will be here soon.

Hello.

Hello.

What happened?

I prescribed her metoclopramide due to severe nausea.

We replaced the IV line, so I'm about to restart the pump.

What's the ANC?

Pardon? Right, it's…

It's 2,500.

Okay.

Your immune function pre-chemo looks good.

You're experiencing side effects like nausea and digestive issues.

But you'll feel significantly better if we use antiemetics appropriately.

If it's too difficult for you, we can apply an antiemetic patch.

Okay, I understand.

OH YI-YOUNG, EMAIL ME THE REFERENCES

Did you get scolded badly?

Nam-kyung said Professor Seo really gave you an earful.

Right.

She said you might even quit.

I deserved it.

Yi-young, listen.

The professor left a note for you.

Let's get it done right now. She needs materials on--

Preterm labor research references.

I emailed them to her.

Really? How?

How did you know?

Did you see?

Yes.

It was on the monitor.

Someone must've put it back after it fell.

It was really dirty.

I need water.

You know what?

I'll tell you why I got scolded again.

A 20-week pregnant patient, Ms. Hwangbo Bo-hyeon.

We couldn't do an amniotic fluid test since her water broke.

So we decided to do a different test.

But they told me to do it.

So…

I said I couldn't do it.

And then, I got chewed out.

Why?

Why did you refuse?

It's a good opportunity.

The professor trusted you enough to give you a chance, so you should do it.

I mean…

I'm not saying it's good news.

But it can help the patient with her future pregnancies

and be used as a research case.

Plus, it's a rare case.

You get to learn, so that's good.

It's for the patient and her future baby.

You need to do it well.

What's this? Am I talking to Seo Jung-min?

So I'm going to do it now.

She's being induced and will deliver soon.

Speaking of which…

Let's do it together.

I'm scared.

Please help me.

Push on your lower abdomen, and it'll hurt less.

Yes, just a little more.

A little more.

It's out.

Well done, ma'am.

Now, we just need the placenta to come out properly.

Hang in there.

Dr. Oh, I'll leave it to you.

Ultrasound, please.

Yes, ma'am.

-Nurse Ji-young. -Yes, ma'am.

How are you feeling right now?

Are you all right?

Yes.

Wait.

The baby…

I…

I don't think I can do that test.

And also…

I can't do it alone.

Then what should we do?

We have three surgeries right now, and Do-won is going into surgery too.

Should we take the attending doctor off and ask someone else?

Dr. Oh.

Whether we can do it or not isn't for us to decide.

The person struggling the most right now is the patient,

and she made the difficult decision to go through with this.

If it's for the mother and her baby, we do it.

That's not an acceptable excuse.

But…

Okay. I'm sorry.

Ms. Hwangbo is starting to dilate,

so keep a close eye on her.

Call me when the delivery room is ready.

Make sure the adjacent room is also prepared.

Good luck.

Oh Yi-young.

Do you have coins?

Tell me.

I saw this when I was an intern.

She was a second-year resident.

She couldn't sleep for days after doing the test.

She cried a lot.

She sobbed and said

she knew we couldn't save it.

But she was hesitant to do it to such a tiny body.

She didn't want to cause any pain.

After that incident,

her heart would race whenever she saw a baby.

She couldn't even look at pregnant women.

That's why I'm hesitant.

It's not that I don't want to do it.

I felt the same way.

At 20 weeks…

It really looked like a baby, you know?

When it first came out, it took a few last breaths.

It even moved a bit right there in my hands.

It was truly terrifying.

But what can we do?

Still…

We have to do it.

That's why we're here.

There is a cheat code I use when I'm scared and terrified.

I'm not sure if you have it though.

DELIVERY ROOM 2

DELIVERY ROOM 1

The professor asked me to relay the message again.

She said you need to take about 1 cm of the baby's skin tissue.

If you put it in this container, I'll submit it to DLM right away.

DEPARTMENT OF LABORATORY MEDICINE

Should we begin?

Wait.

It moved a bit back there.

It even breathed slightly.

That can happen.

But a 20-week-old baby can't be saved even with CPR.

The organs aren't mature enough to sustain life.

Spontaneous breathing is impossible.

But…

What if I'm wrong and this is a mistake?

This isn't from a textbook, but…

I thought of something since you said you were scared.

CURRENT TIME

May 17, 2023, 6:12 p.m.

A beautiful baby

went to a better place.

Your mom said…

she'd be waiting for you.

Heal your wounds…

in heaven.

Then come back healthy again.

I'm sorry.

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

HWANGBO SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: SEO JUNG-MIN

What are you doing here?

You didn't have to come in person.

This is the second time.

For both her and you.

It's always better to have company when you're scared.

You're right.

But…

she's all alone once again.

That's why I told you to come to CS.

Go in.

I will.

And lighten up.

Don't leave.

The test wasn't painful for the baby, was it?

No.

The biopsy was successful, and we sent it for genetic testing.

It's a specialized test, so it'll take about a month to get the results.

I'm sorry it had to be this way again,

but recurring abnormalities

may have genetic factors.

So we need to check for the possibility of recurrence.

This is still considered childbirth,

so breast milk may be produced, or you might have breast engorgement.

And due to hormonal changes, she may experience postpartum depression.

Please pay close attention to her.

Okay.

And, ma'am…

Cry as much as you want today.

Next time,

let's make sure

we hear a healthy, strong baby cry.

Gosh, I'm so popular.

I was less popular as an idol.

What's that?

Don't people line up for those bagels?

Exactly.

This is practically a proposal, isn't it?

Are you sure we can eat that? They were given to you.

They were given to us.

Right. I should've brought some coffee too.

I got them on a late night discount.

Hey, that's my favorite.

I heard you had a sweet tooth.

If you prefer something else--

You're right.

Thank you, Doctor.

You're welcome.

Good work today.

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

Thank you.

-Hey. -Yes?

What is it?

Don't tell anyone about Nurse Ju-yeon.

Don't tell what? Did something happen?

What? No, nothing happened.

They're dancing in perfect coordination.

Hey, aren't you hungry?

I am.

Should we eat…

Never mind.

We can eat together.

Really? Seriously?

What should we get? What do you like? I like everything.

But I'm on call.

Who cares? We can eat here.

Why are you so excited?

How could I not be? We're eating together. Hey, let's ask the others too.

Hurry up. We don't have much time.

-Thanks-- -Sorry--

Thanks for staying this late.

I didn't do much, really.

I'm sorry, but don't ask why.

Okay. I'm not curious anyway.

Yi-young.

Aren't you hungry?

Well…

Guys! We're going to get food. Come join us. Okay?

Should we?

Let's go.

Awesome!

Are you really that happy?

Yes! I always ate alone after work.

Guys, let's get the most delicious dish in the cafeteria.

And what's that?

-Bulgogi beef set! -Bulgogi beef set!

Nice! Let's go have some!

-All right. -Hurry up!

My phone.

Who's on duty today?

-Dr. Pyo Nam-kyung. -I see.

We had four GYN patients at the ER,

so she had a really tough time making urgent calls.

I told her to get some rest.

Okay.

Right, the professor said

Ms. Cho Min-ae could have small sips of water,

but the order hasn't been entered.

I see.

She's sleeping anyway, so could you please check on it before morning?

Okay. I'll notify Dr. Pyo about everything at once in the morning.

-Let me check on Ms. Lee Hyo-sun. -Sure.

Pyo Nam-kyung speaking.

Doctor, were you sleeping?

Oh, I didn't know.

It's about Ms. Cho Min-ae.

The professor said she could have water during rounds.

Can she have some now?

Yes, water.

Okay. Please put in the order right away.

Goodbye.

THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, JUNG KYUNG-HO, OUR ETERNAL KIM JUN-WAN

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Weren't you in the Yulje OB-GYN get-together?

Did you make any mistakes while drinking?

Of course not. How old do you think I am?

Don't, don't, don't.

What?

It's okay. I'm just really curious.

That's interesting.

What did I say about drinking?

Did you watch your mouth or not?

Did you get home safe?

He failed today too.

I'm sorry.

The patients are upset.

Professor Seo's patients are taken care of. Why are mine not?

What's wrong with you all?

I'll check on it. I'm sorry.

It's unlike them to miss things. I'll scold them properly today.

Does she think you have nothing better to do?

Aren't you here to ask me for a favor too?

Would the workload be too much then?

I did make a mistake, but he said he couldn't do it.

The least he could've done was keep quiet.

Can't you control your anger?

-Do you have to lash out to feel better? -Yes.

Hey!

Wasting others' time because you won't take responsibility…

That's incompetence.
