Open it!

What happened?

He fell while working.

What's wrong with him?

I'm not sure. He's not suffering from asthma.

What could it be?

He might die at this rate! Please do something!

Don't worry.

I'll call 119.

Doctor! I already called…

Wait! Doctor!

Doctor!

The medical officer just left? What about the patient?

He's breathing. He's alive.

MAINTAIN PUBLIC ORDER

What happened?

"Please take him to the Cardiology Department.

Replace the medical officer as fast as possible."

Do you think this was…

Inmate 6238?

UNCLE JEONG-NAM

Don't you need money?

I thought this was a spam message.

You're out of money, aren't you?

Did you install a CCTV in my room?

UNCLE JEONG-NAM

-Hello? -What is wrong with you?

You should've come to see me as soon as you ran out of money.

Get over here right now.

Where?

TAXI STOP

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM, YOU CAN ALWAYS START AGAIN

I came to meet Uncle Jeong-nam.

AWARD, WARDEN OH JEONG-NAM

Si-young.

-Uncle Jeong-nam. -It's been so long.

Take a seat.

By the way, what happened? Why did the medical officer run away?

Gosh, don't even get me started.

We don't even have a chief physician and the medical officers

who come here constantly keep quitting.

So we're always looking for someone to fill in.

Is that why you offered me a part-time job?

It's a part-time job that will pay you generously.

Okay, sure.

I'll do it.

Will you be okay?

As you already know, this place can be a bit tough.

-It's okay. -The facility isn't great either.

-It's okay. -We don't have the best quality

-or medical devices. -It's okay. I'm okay with that.

Really?

You even brought your luggage.

What? Oh, yes.

There are a lot of patients waiting to get treated. Let's begin.

One. Do not have private conversations with the prisoners.

Two. Do not leak the information I hear or record.

Three. Follow the instructions given to me by the employee.

That's right.

You remember everything.

But there's one more thing you need to keep in mind.

What's that?

Actually, never mind. I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to you.

What is it? What are you talking about?

There's this guy who got transferred here last year, and he's a psycho…

I mean, he's such an odd guy.

An odd guy?

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say to you.

Don't answer any of the questions he asks you.

Don't look at him in the eyes.

And don't even talk to him.

In other words, don't let him test you.

Make sure you remember this.

What's his deal? Is he an evil spirit or something?

An evil spirit?

It doesn't matter what people call him.

What matters is that you should never

let him get to you.

Is he a serial killer?

Or is he a felon?

Let's go inside first.

You'll end up running into him at least once anyway.

Come inside.

My gosh, Dr. Kang.

How have you been?

The same old.

It seems like you've lost some weight.

Stop the small talk.

We have patients waiting. Hurry up and send them inside.

Okay.

I washed this after I heard that you were coming.

Here. Put it on, Dr. Kang.

I'm no longer a doctor.

-What? -Just leave it. I don't need it.

Oh, okay.

Okay, then. I'll hang it right here.

Wear it when you need it.

I want you to stay alert.

Okay, don't worry.

I'll make sure the prisoners behave.

No, not the prisoners. Keep a close eye on Dr. Kang.

She's the dangerous one.

What?

Why is she dangerous?

Do I have cancer?

Am I going to die?

You ate exactly 17 go stones.

Go to a hospital outside and have them taken out.

Next.

There's no injury? Are you saying I'm lying?

There's not even a single crack.

Stop saying stuff I can't understand.

The top of my foot hurts. It's seriously killing me.

What will you do if there's something wrong with my foot?

Then…

stab an ax into your foot.

Only then will you get a narcotic painkiller.

There's no other way. Next.

He hasn't gone to sleep in days.

Do you have insomnia?

See, it's not me.

It's him down there.

Lie down. I'll put him to sleep.

Doctor. How will you do it?

I'll stab it.

-With that? -It'll sting.

NO CHATTING WHILE MOVING

Well done, Dr. Kang.

Don't call me that.

Dr. Kang, there's an emergency.

MEDICAL OFFICE

STOP AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

Hey, get out of the way! Move!

Make way.

Move out of the way.

Mister. Mister.

Get an Ambu bag and oxygen tank. Call 119.

Okay.

-He's been acting weird since last night. -That's right.

He coughed a lot, saying he's out of breath.

I think he had diarrhea too.

Anyway, he had an upset stomach and a sore throat.

Be quiet.

Stridor?

Is something stuck in his throat?

What did he eat?

Could it have gotten lodged in his throat?

Fish.

He said he'd swallowed a fish bone and that it hurt.

-A fish bone? -He also ate a sausage he'd hidden.

What are you eating?

3-UPPER-4

It smelled a bit disgusting.

How many times must you go to the toilet?

Sorry.

3-UPPER-4

Yes. That's why he had diarrhea.

A rotten sausage.

Bacteria?

Hey! Get out of the way!

Give me the Ambu bag.

His throat is so swollen the oxygen isn't getting in.

-Then what? -The ambulance.

-Is it nearby? -Not yet.

What now? He needs to be intubated,

but his airway's so swollen that the Ambu bag's not helping.

Cricothyroidotomy.

Yes. The cricothyroidotomy kit.

It's not here.

What happened? What's wrong with him?

His airway's so swollen that the oxygen's not getting in,

and I don't have what I need.

What should we do then?

Will he just die?

I hope not.

Warden. You should call him.

-No. -He might die.

What if he dies?

Kang Si-young, think.

What's wrong with this patient?

Deep neck infection.

Who was that? Who just spoke?

Where is he? Where are you?

-Inmate 6238! -Inmate 6238?

-Inmate 6238? -There he is!

TO SERVE

What did you just say? Deep neck what?

You told me not to obstruct.

Just answer.

-As if you'd know. -What?

He has an infection down his throat.

The fish bone ruptured his throat,

and the bacteria from the rotten sausage

got into the rupture and caused an infection.

That's right. The infection obstructed the airway.

Ever seen a case like this?

No.

Do you know what I'm doing?

No.

It has to go into the airway. Have you done it before?

-No. -Then try it.

If you don't hurry, he'll go into respiratory arrest.

-Are you a doctor? -No.

And you? Are you a doctor?

If you don't do anything, this man dies.

The cricothyroid membrane.

Below the thyroid cartilage and above the cricoid cartilage.

Two centimeters in at a 45-degree angle.

Do it.

Check.

Good.

There.

Squeeze the Ambu bag at the right breathing interval.

-He's breathing. He's alive. -Gosh.

They did it.

We're here!

Take him.

Well done. It worked.

KYUNGWON HOSPITAL

EMERGENCY ROOM

EMERGENCY ROOM

This way.

-What does he have? -A deep neck infection.

I administered first aid right before respiratory arrest.

Oxygen saturation's above 90 percent.

-Prepare for intubation. -Okay.

Glide.

Here.

It's in.

Are you new?

I'm just… a part-timer.

A part-timer?

What matters is that you saved him.

Well done.

The penitentiary lacks the equipment and you diagnosed

a deep neck infection by just looking?

I'm impressed.

Can you get out of the way?

Hang on.

It wasn't me.

I MISS YOU. I LOVE YOU, SEUNG-YOO

LET'S MEET AGAIN

HANSE MEDICAL CENTER, THE START OF A HEALTHY CHANGE

Doctors in Anesthesiology,

please come to Room 28.

Doctors in Anesthesiology,

please come to Room 28.

What's wrong with the vitals?

Suction.

Suction!

Suction. Suction!

Epi.

Five bags of RBCs. Allow them to flow completely.

Set level one.

LEVEL 1: USED TO TRANSFUSE BLOOD QUICKLY

Make sure you don't mistake them.

Conduct an ABGA and administer 0.2 unit of vasopressin per cc.

-Make it continuous. -Yes, ma'am.

Where is it?

0.2 unit of vasopressin per cc.

ABGA.

Anesthesiology will mess up yet again

and declare the patient dead.

Since Chief Min is here, that won't happen.

We got the vitals.

Thanks to her, the patient will live.

I guess

it's difficult for you to call the chief.

Why didn't you call me when the patient was crashing?

Do you not want to learn anymore?

Proceed with the surgery.

I'll stay until the patient stabilizes.

Yes?

What?

Si-young did what?

Don't be surprised.

Si-young just saved someone.

She was there?

She didn't do anything for the past year.

I called her out so she could get some fresh air.

And she did something amazing!

CHIEF MIN TAE-KYUNG

She decided to work there?

-There's no way. -What?

What do you mean?

She said she just came to make chump change,

but I thought she was getting ready to return to the field.

Well, I don't think so.

I'll give it some thought.

How is it?

Why do you ask? All part-time jobs are the same.

I've never seen you save a patient.

I was fascinated and proud of you.

You saw me struggling.

You did excellent work for an emergency.

Many of the medical officers couldn't do what you did.

Who's that man?

Is he a doctor?

Inmate 6238?

He said he's not a doctor.

There's no way.

He's that guy I mentioned.

That psycho.

"That psycho"?

The one I shouldn't talk to?

From the day he transferred in, he became the king

of the penitentiary.

How?

He went through a harsh hazing.

Another inmate slashed his chest

with a sharp tool.

Hey.

Calm down. Calm down.

He asked for the first-aid kit

and stitched the wound up himself.

He didn't even use anesthetics.

Without anesthetics?

He's fearless and skilled as well.

But still, he's such a headache.

He's the reason why all the medical officers quit.

He's the reason? Why?

If he doesn't think they live up to his expectations,

he attacks them.

He scares the living daylight out of the medical officers.

Because of that, he's nicknamed Medical Officer Killer.

It has nothing to do with me. I'm not an official medical officer.

I'm just part-timing.

Right, you're just part-timing.

Look at how nice those gowns look on them.

You look fantastic in a gown as well.

ANESTHESIOLOGY

She's going abroad tonight.

I don't think she's coming back.

It's a one-way ticket.

I'm about to leave the hospital right now.

-Keep Si-young there. -What?

-I'm on my way. -Okay.

Si-young, is that you?

Si-young.

-Hey, isn't someone calling you? -What?

No one is. Let's go.

Si-young.

-Hi. -It is you. It's been a long time.

It has been.

Are you her senior?

Yes, I am.

I'll be waiting in the car,

-so take your time. -What?

Okay.

Gosh, I can't believe I ran into you here.

How long has it been?

Two years ago at the alumni gathering?

Was it?

Has it been that long already?

Anyway, I'm glad I ran into you.

Have you been doing well?

He doesn't know.

He has no idea…

about what happened.

By the way, what brings you here?

I'm going abroad today.

I came here to see my uncle.

A vacation? I'm jealous.

I'll contact you once I return. I'll see you around.

-Bye. -Bye.

Call me when you get back.

I will!

-Hey, isn't that Kang Si-young? -Do you know her?

How could I not know the top student of your school?

She's going abroad today. On vacation.

"Vacation"? You sure she's not taking some time off from work?

What? Why would she?

Do you not know about the huge incident?

Was it medical malpractice?

Si-young.

It's pollen, Uncle.

Let's go.

Si-young.

You can start again.

I know.

If I go back to the hospital,

I might even be able to do a good job.

Also, that's what I want to do.

Then do it.

What's the problem?

Do it, you silly. What's the problem?

Then…

I can't be punished for the rest of my life.

I don't deserve...

to save patients

and feel rewarded and happy.

Never wearing a doctor's gown again…

is my punishment.

Soon…

he'll be released from prison.

He should never wear a doctor's gown again

or treat any patients.

We must stop him...

from coming back.

I can't wait for it.

Has Cha Yo-han…

realized it yet?

What if he hasn't?

I'll make sure he pays a price.

That's why I look forward…

to the day he comes back.

Yo-han.

TO SERVE

How are you feeling?

I'm going to stop by the medical office later.

-How long has it been like this? -Since yesterday.

How did the test at the outside hospital last week turn out?

I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything special.

I'll be released next week.

I'll go to a big hospital then like you told me to.

What if you die before your release?

Ask the medical office to send you to a hospital today.

Okay, I will.

I picked them.

Enjoy.

See you around.

INMATE INFORMATION: PARK JUNG-BO

FEVER REDUCER PRESCRIBED, ACUTE ENTERITIS

There are many inmates here. Just stay inside the medical office.

I get it.

Thanks for earlier.

Thank you for your help.

She's not staying here, is she?

Find someone proper

instead of an unprepared novice.

Fine.

She should be able to either diagnose or treat a patient.

Someone stupid and clumsy needs experience.

How can a second-year resident have no idea what to do?

-Excuse me. -If you keep hiring

these temporary, incompetent medical officers, next time,

you'll be the one I'll complain about as well.

Hey!

Complain directly to me, not to him!

Fine. I'd never treated a patient like him before.

Didn't I do well on my first time?

I stuck it in correctly and he patient survived.

You did a very good job considering it was your first time.

If that's what you want to hear, go back to school.

This is not a place for training.

You can't practice

on the people here.

Hold on.

Are you saying I'm a trainee?

Is that what you mean?

Where is he going?

What's with him?

Why does he speak to me so rudely?

-Just ignore him. -I can't believe him.

"Someone so stupid and clumsy"?

Who does he think he is? My professor or something?

This is annoying.

-Did you tell him? -Tell him what?

I was a second-year resident.

Why would I share your information?

Then how does he know?

Unbelievable.

Does he think he's my professor or something?

"This is not a place for training. You can't practice on the people…"

Who are you talking about?

That guy, Inmate 6238.

What did he do before coming here?

Well…

Which hospital was it?

What is he here for?

Well… Three years ago…

Dr. Kang, there's a patient. Can he come in?

Sure.

It's our regular again.

It's Inmate 5353. He often pretends to be sick.

-Hello. -Hello.

INMATE INFORMATION: PARK JUNG-BO

How are you feeling?

I got a sudden stomachache. I've been vomiting and having diarrhea.

-Will you lie down? -Okay.

Does it hurt?

No. By the way, my hands have been…

Does it itch?

No. It stings and burns.

Let me take your temperature.

You're running a fever.

When did it start?

I've had a fever for a while now.

You can come down.

TREATMENT AND PRESCRIPTION

TRANSFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE HOSPITAL

You got a blood test and an X-ray at an outside hospital.

Oh, are the results out?

Yes,

but everything is normal.

Let me prescribe you antibiotics and fever reducers for now.

Okay.

Isn't this yours?

I picked it up from the yard.

It is mine. Thanks.

By the way, where can you buy those things?

I'll be released next week.

I'm meeting my sister after years. I'd love to get a bracelet for her.

Go to any shopping mall. I'm sure you'll find something.

I see. Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Lie down until your fever goes down.

Also, when you're released,

get a thorough check-up at a big hospital, just in case.

Yes, I'll do that.

Thank you.

What? What is it?

Please check my temperature.

Do you have a fever?

That is for you to determine.

-Are you Inmate 6238? -Yes.

INMATE INFORMATION: CHA YO-HAN

You don't have a fever.

Could you chart it?

Why would I chart it when you don't even have…

Please check my pulse too.

DATE, TEMPERATURE, PULSE, BREATHING, BLOOD PRESSURE

Do you suffer from hypochondria?

Why do you check all these things every day?

It's my hobby.

Do it yourself.

Madagascar.

-What did you say? -What time is your flight?

How did you know?

You have enough time to give out an order, right?

Write it down. "Inmate 5353.

Need to visit Nephrology at a tertiary hospital. Urgent."

Inmate 5353…

-Why Nephrology? -Which department are you in?

Me? Anesthesiology.

Why?

Have you done an outpatient rotation?

-Yes, once. -A male, 22 years old.

He's suffering from a stomachache, diarrhea, and vomiting.

He has rashes on his palms. They're flushed and painful.

What should you do first?

-What are you doing… -No external injuries.

The hospital he recently visited ran a lab test, X-ray,

and electromyography but found nothing.

What are the chances he's suffering from CTS or CRPS?

The rashes didn't change his skin color.

The result of his NCS came out fine.

Since he had a sudden stomachache, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever,

I did suspect acute appendicitis.

"Acute appendicitis"?

Look at you, trying so hard.

-What did you say? -What are you doing? Chart it.

"Need to visit Nephrology at a tertiary hospital.

Urgent."

What's your reason?

-You wouldn't believe it. -Do you even have one?

-I have a diagnosis. -"A diagnosis"?

And who diagnosed him?

The only thing in here is an X-ray scan.

So who did it? And how?

Can your eyes scan or something?

I have my assumptions.

You'll diagnose him with your assumptions?

Forget it. If you're done cleaning, please leave, Inmate 6238.

Fine, how about this?

How about you and I

diagnose that patient?

Look.

I'm thankful you helped me save that patient back there.

-You saved his life. But… -Give them the order.

If you were me, would you believe a former doctor

-whom you met at a penitentiary? -Give them the order.

Give them the order before you flee to Madagascar.

How did you know?

About Madagascar.

About my being a second-year resident?

You better hurry. It's urgent.

What crime did you commit?

You're dying to brag about how competent you are,

so what brought you here?

59th Street, Ankorondrano, Antananarivo.

It's on the luggage tag.

Your phone, shoes, and bags are all expensive,

but they were made two years ago.

That means, you had the money to shop, but didn't have the time.

That's how I assumed you're a second-year resident.

Right, about your fleeing.

A second-year resident has been working so hard

that she didn't even have time to shop.

But she's going to such a foreign country

that's not in Southeast Asia, North America, or Europe.

You must be trying to run away from a crime similar to mine.

But do you truly believe fleeing will give you freedom?

I think listening to my advice

will help you obtain that freedom.

MEDICAL OFFICE

-Also… -What? What is it this time?

Make sure you give that order.

Don't forget.

UNCLE JEONG-NAM

Is this true?

Is it true you're going abroad tonight?

What brings…

-you here, chief? -That's not important.

Are you really…

Pack your belongings, and let's go.

What is it?

Are you afraid I won't come back?

You must think…

I don't have a care in the world.

Do you think I'll carelessly think about killing myself?

Then why are you going?

Tell me the reason.

That's not important.

She just doesn't need to go.

Si-young, don't go. Why would you go so far away?

-Don't go… -It's a faraway island.

The time zone is different from Korea.

I thought if I went to such a foreign place,

I'd be able to forget about everything.

I thought I could pretend like that incident didn't happen.

I thought…

this reality could all feel like a dream.

I thought perhaps it could be as if none of this actually happened…

as long as I wasn't here.

-Si-young… -I know you hate me too.

Your best friend was…

It wasn't your fault.

It was an accident. No one predicted it.

Also,

-I'm sure you're more… -More what?

I don't deserve to feel pain.

It pains you all to see me.

So it'd be much better for me to…

-Don't act like a baby. -I'm not.

Even if I did, it wouldn't work on you.

Because, Mom,

you've always put your emotions before others'.

How many times do I need to repeat myself?

It's not your fault.

I'm sure you blame yourself and regret it.

Like I've said before,

this pains me too.

To the point of wanting to kill myself.

So don't worry.

I won't bring any more tragedies…

into your life.

Wait! Si-young! Si-young!

Tae-kyung, will you let her go just like that?

I didn't

ignore her because I couldn't face her.

"It was unavoidable.

Accept it.

Get back up."

The usual me would've scolded and lectured her.

I couldn't do that.

Si-young fell down and gave up,

and I accepted that.

She wants to go back.

She really wants to go back...

and thinks she might do well.

-Did she say that? -Yes.

But…

She wants to go back, but…

She doesn't deserve to?

Where's Inmate 5353?

Come on. He's an expert.

He's very good at making up illnesses.

Did his fever go down?

Yes, it did, so I sent him to his cell.

So… Officer.

If he complains of a fever or another symptom,

don't put him down but send him to a hospital for a thorough check-up.

A thorough check-up?

Yes. Please do that.

I feel so much better. Now I'm ready to eat.

-There's meat. -Come and eat.

Dinner's here. Get up.

Come and eat.

-Eat with us. -Hurry up.

Why won't you answer?

Hey.

Hey.

-Look at that. -Gosh.

Guard! Guard!

Guard!

Get over here!

Guard! Guard!

What's the matter?

Get over here quick.

Look at him.

Come in.

What's wrong?

Do something!

NEW BEGINNING OF LIFE! IT IS UP TO YOUR MINDSET

Let me borrow this.

Let me look at your eyes, Jung-bo.

What's wrong with him?

He's not sweating at all.

-I called 119. -Well done.

-No. -What?

Not 119.

What do you mean, not 119?

-Kang Si-young. -Who?

Call Dr. Kang Si-young right now.

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM, YOU CAN ALWAYS START AGAIN

I'm leaving.

I'M LEAVING

Hurry.

-Make way. -Will you hurry?

Move that out of the way.

Where's Dr. Kang?

Dr. Kang! Dr. Kang! Stop! Stop!

Dr. Kang!

Dr. Kang, it's an emergency.

Inmate 5353. He's…

What? How is he?

It doesn't look good. Come with me.

Are you not getting in?

We can't save him without you.

-What? -We can't save him without you.

It's you or he dies.

-Who said that? -Inmate 6238.

He told me to bring you.

Miss. Will you get in or not?

Call Dr. Kang.

We don't have her number.

Then find her!

Wait. Wait!

-Move. -Stop.

Call Dr. Kang, quick. Hurry.

What for?

Why do you keep asking for her?

There's something she has to do!

What is it?

What must I do?

Take him to a hospital.

-What then? -Just go.

What do I do then?

Save your patient.

How…

can I do that?

I'll tell you what to do, so promise.

Promise that you'll save him.

I can save a patient?

If he dies tonight, it wouldn't be because of an illness.

It would've been because the doctors did nothing.

To a patient, an illness is despair,

and a doctor is hope.

That hope.

Will you let him down?

What must I do…

to save him?

Special thanks to Jeon No Min and Jung In Gi for their cameo parts.

Whether he lives or dies isn't up to me now.

It's up to Dr. Kang.

-Are you crazy? -What?

You gave out an order

because an ex-doctor who is currently an inmate told you to do so?

-Do you know why he was imprisoned? -What do you mean?

Was that enough to make you rush here?

Cha Yo-han.

You administered a lethal amount of painkillers

and was sentenced to three years.

Dismiss Cha Yo-han!

If Professor Cha wants to do the same thing as three years ago,

what would you do?

Do you know what you're about to do?

-Get out right now. -Who are you?

Nice to meet you. I'm Inmate 6238.

Just a moment.

Wait.

Dr. Cha Yo-han.

Dr. Cha Yo-han.

This patient had an emergency canthotomy two days ago.

What are you saying?

Whatever the specialty,

isn't our job to care for the sick?

I'm now in charge of Pain Surgery.

My name is Cha Yo-han.
