Original subtitles

Honey, can you come home this weekend?

Byeol says she misses you.

Did you find a new hospital to transfer to?

Don't you think our family should live together now?

Gosh!

Dr. Cha.

Did you say that to Dr. Kim?

No.

Isn't it something you should tell him yourself?

If you've already made up your mind, you should tell him now.

We need time to recruit a new EM board.

(Emergency medicine board)

You're right.

Yes. What is it?

What?

Table death?

(Table death: The case that patient dies during surgery)

Are you saying the second son of Sejin owner died?

Sorry?

Dr. Park is very competent. How did that happen?

Actually, the executives at the main hospital were upset about it.

They complained that he took VIP patients to Doldam...

right after he was appointed as the director there.

They just couldn't understand why he took the son of the Sejin...

when there were so many emergency patients.

They said he did so just to show off.

There was a big fuss over it.

And this is what happened?

Table death? Gosh.

I know.

A table death happened to occur at such a moment.

I guess the sky is helping me.

Sorry?

What do you mean?

I need you...

to go to Doldam tomorrow.

Gosh.

(Episode 15)

Pardon? Dr. Do In Beom?

You saw Dr. Do?

Do you also know Dr. Do In Beom?

Of course, I know him well.

He worked here for two years.

For two years? I didn't know that.

Maybe that's because you two have a different specialty.

I also just heard that he's a chic and cool-head guy.

Well, that's too much. He's more of an unkind bookworm.

That's right.

He surely is someone we can't easily get close to.

It's just the way he talks. He's actually tenderhearted.

How do you know him so well?

- What? - She's right.

You just sounded like you're very close to him.

Did I?

Are you personally close to him?

No, not at all.

It's not something you think.

I just ran into him a few times at the main hospital.

That's all.

Seriously.

Gosh. The coffee is so good today. Isn't it?

Does anyone want another cup?

Patient Park Seung Chan will have a full laboratory test tomorrow.

Okay.

Excuse me. Where's Director Yeo?

This way.

All the figures show stable signs.

You should go down and take some rest.

I actually had a short sleep early in the morning.

Don't worry.

Look at you.

Dr. Do In Beom.

It's been a long time.

Good to see you.

What brings you all the way here? You didn't even call me.

I heard about the director last night.

So he has terminal lung cancer.

Right.

He found it too late.

How about you?

Me? What about me?

I heard you had CTS.

(Carpal tunnel syndrome)

That reached the main hospital already?

Seo Jung is really worried about you.

She even told me to make sure you get treatment.

Or she might fly here right away.

That lunatic whale.

So...

why did you come here?

Tell me why you came all the way here so suddenly.

This afternoon,

the fact-finding committee will come.

What?

They'll investigate the table death...

that took place here yesterday.

And I belong to the committee.

Four of them are legal investigators from a law firm,

and the medical investigation team consists of three, a cardiologist,

an anesthesiologist, and a GS, which is me.

Head Song is in charge of the overall instruction.

There are more legal investigators than I expected.

Hiring four legal investigators for a table death case isn't common.

What do you mean by that?

I think the target this time will be...

Doldam Hospital.

I'm counting on you.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

So...

is there any way to avoid this crisis?

Dr. Park Min Guk.

What?

You have to give him up...

to save Doldam.

(Part 15 Rapport)

What?

The fact-finding committee will come here?

I think it's under the pressure of Sejin Group.

The owner's son died.

Still, it's earlier than I thought.

Dr. Park might have to bear all the blame if things don't go well.

Before they make a move,

- we should make a plan... - I do not want...

to tell a lie with you just to avoid the situation.

What's wrong with you?

We started the operation because you gave a yes.

I clearly remember that I warned enough...

about Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Are you trying to escape just by yourself?

I'm saying I will tell the truth only...

to whomever that investigates this case.

Without exaggerations or lies.

Dr. Shim!

Good afternoon, sir.

I already told him what I have to say.

So he'll tell you.

Please don't worry. I'll persuade her.

Don't worry.

Manager Jang, what's going on?

A patient of Dr. Park Min Guk died during surgery yesterday.

So they came to investigate the case.

Is the VIP patient...

Kang Ik Joon?

Yes, it is.

Dr. Shim.

Think about Dr. Park.

At this rate, we're all going to be in trouble.

- You can't get out of this alone. - What is going on?

We have to stick together.

Dr. Shim.

Are you...

Dr. Cha Eun Jae?

(Doctor's Office 3)

(A Cornered Stone Project)

What are you doing over there?

You look familiar.

- What's your name? - I'm Seo Woo Jin of GS.

I'm also in GS.

I know. You came two years earlier than me.

Dr. Do In Beom.

But why do you have this file?

Dr. Kim gave it to me as homework.

You must be competent.

Yes.

I'll get going. It's an emergency call.

No, that's not it.

Yes.

Yes. All right.

Can I put these here for a while?

What is it?

It was a traffic accident. He crashed into a road tree.

He smells of liquor, so it seems he was driving under the influence.

Who still drinks and drives these days?

He had verbal responses when we got to the scene.

His belly was stuck under the steering wheel.

- What are his vitals? - They're 80 and 40.

Do we have his personal information?

We haven't figured that out yet.

We'll accept him as a nameless patient for now.

Hydrate him using both lines and do an operation laboratory test.

Increase two packed red blood cells for an emergency.

Should I prepare the fabric?

- Yes. - Sir.

Sir!

His Glasgow Coma Scales are 1, 2, and 4.

So it's a total of seven points.

Get me the intubation tube.

- We need to use RSI. - Yes, I'll bring it.

Increase etomidate and rocuronium by one F each.

Yes, doctor.

It's ready.

His belly is bloated.

- Let's check the FAST examination. - Yes.

(Jung In Su)

(Do In Beom)

He doesn't have hemopneumothorax.

It's not cardiac tamponade.

There must be hemoperitoneum in his belly.

Bingo.

Is his brain fine?

Hey, Dr. Do!

It's been a while.

What happened? When did you come here?

I just got here.

It's been a while, Eun Tak.

Yes, it's been a while.

How come you're here?

The vitals are 60, 30, and 140.

Put full drops of normal saline and bring two more packs of blood.

Yes.

Was the patient unconscious from the beginning?

Yes, he was drunk.

But we can't tell if it's because of his brain or because he's drunk.

Shall we take the CT scan on his brain first?

No, we'll deal with his hemoperitoneum first.

You'd open him up without brain evaluation?

If we don't deal with hemoperitoneum now, we won't have time to evaluate.

Then we should open it right now. Dr. Yoon?

Yes?

Call Dr. Nam and Nurse Oh to the OR now.

Yes.

Dr. Seo and I will open the patient to deal with the bleeding,

and then we'll move to the OR.

You're opening it here?

You can do it, right?

- Dr. Jung. - Yes.

Please sedate the patient.

We'll perform a laparotomy on the nameless patient.

I'll get ready.

Dear me.

What's going on here?

Ik Joon...

wanted to give this to you.

It was delivered here this morning from Seoul.

Hey.

I'm eating these macarons after the surgery,

so make sure to leave some for me. All right?

Well, then.

Excuse me.

I have a question.

Dr. Do is here?

Yes, he's performing a laparotomy in the hybrid operating room.

The surgeons are greeting each other with scalpels for the first time.

I'm curious.

The patient will come in here as soon as they stop the bleeding.

- So let's finish our preparation. - Yes.

- What are his vitals? - They're 60 and 40.

Okay. I'll perform the surgery. Let's switch places.

He's my patient.

I'll perform the surgery.

I didn't come here early morning to assist a second-year doctor.

Exactly.

I wouldn't want to cause trouble when you came so far at dawn.

I'll perform the surgery. Scalpel.

I'll begin. Gauze.

Forceps.

Bovie.

Here he comes.

We were talking about visiting your office.

What is all this?

Director Park seems to be in huge trouble.

What choice do I have?

I have to look like I'm investigating the matter.

It's only formal, so don't worry about it too much.

- He'll see you in his office. - Will he?

Let's go.

Come on.

So...

should I kick him out this time...

and make you the director?

Hey, go upstairs and do your job well.

Be fair and equal as a fellow doctor.

Don't be biased.

This is a golden opportunity to get rid of Dr. Park.

Isn't it tempting?

I'm saying, investigate the incident if you're here to investigate.

Don't make a scene.

You have such a weirdo.

No wonder you're stuck in a place like this.

Shall we go? We have to go.

It's not just blood.

- What is this? - His stomach must be perforated.

All the whelks and noodles came out.

Oh, dear.

- Irrigation. - Suction.

His liver and spleen are looking all right.

I need continuous irrigation.

I've found the perforation site.

Work on it in the OR, and stop the bleeding for now.

Don't you see it?

You have skilled hands, but I guess you have bad eyesight.

Drape.

I'll do it if you can't find it in three seconds.

One.

Two.

Three. Move your hands.

I've found it.

It's a mesenteric artery.

Look.

Hemo-stop.

Tie.

Irrigation.

We're getting his blood pressure.

- Cut. - Cut.

All right.

Let's continue the rest in the OR.

Cover him with a surgical drape and move him.

Check his brain and C-spine before moving him.

I'll do that.

Nurse Joo, we need a portable oxygen concentrator.

Okay.

Take it easy.

He's good even if you don't behave like that.

So why did you let the second-year surgeon...

do the surgery and make me anxious?

You wanted to see Dr. Seo's skills anyway.

Do you still not like me, Eun Tak?

I still feel...

uncomfortable around you.

Eun Tak.

Dr. Jung and Dr. Seo are looking for you.

I brought the portable oxygen concentrator.

What?

- Can I borrow a pen? - Pardon? Oh, okay.

I guess you're new here.

Yes, I'm Nurse Joo Young Mi.

I'm Do In Beom of GS.

Call me when the CT-scan result is up.

Okay.

Thank you, Nurse Joo.

What do you think you're doing, Dr. Do?

Do you know me?

- In Beom, please! - What?

You wanted us to act like we're strangers in Doldam.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Why are you being cranky to people as soon as you came? To Dr. Seo too.

And what was that with Eun Tak?

This is the way I work, so what?

Please stop acting like you're chic and tough.

Get along with others.

What about you?

How are your studies going? The exam is right around the corner.

I'm taking care of it.

If you don't pass it, I'll tease you for being an idiot for a long time.

Goodness gracious.

He's unbelievable.

"In Beom"? What's your relationship with him?

You two have different surnames,

so I doubt you are siblings.

Are you friends from the same neighborhood?

From church?

Or is he just a friend you know?

We've gotten so many cutbacks this month again.

What can we do about it?

We have to send them a letter of explanation.

It feels like...

we're fighting endlessly with the HIRA.

Let's think we're working hard in each of our positions.

They want to keep us under thorough control,

and we want them to understand our circumstances.

Balance...

can be maintained...

only when we keep our side fiercely.

All right.

I'll prepare for the letter fiercely.

Dr. Bae.

About Woo Jin's debtors,

did you settle with them?

Well, it's not like I settled...

I just couldn't sit back and watch...

his situation anymore.

Since when have you been so concerned about him?

I didn't think you were interested in anything...

other than bones.

Didn't you settle down here in Doldam...

because you didn't want to get involved in complicated things?

Right, I did.

But...

isn't it ever since you saw his files on my desk?

(Seo JIn Ho and his wife were found dead.)

Be honest with me.

You and Seo Woo Jin.

What's your relationship?

Are you really not going to tell me?

There's nothing to tell you about.

Then how do you call him by his first name?

You aren't two-timing, are you?

Between Dr. Do and Eun Tak.

No! That's ridiculous!

What's that about? Two-timing?

Are you two-timing?

One must be Eun Tak, so who's the other?

Excuse me.

Who is the other?

What? Do...

Do...

Doldam Hospital, let's go!

Doldam, let's go.

Two-timing?

I've been single all my life.

(Three families attempted joint suicide)

Come in.

Are you not busy?

What is it? How can I help you?

Well, I have something...

- to tell you for a moment. - Go ahead.

- Hold on. - Okay.

Hello, Mr. Jang.

I see.

Okay, I'll be there right now.

I'm sorry I cut you off.

Regarding the table death...

of Dr. Park's surgery yesterday,

the main hospital has sent the fact-finding committee.

I should go to the Director's Office because of that.

Then you better hurry there.

No, I have time.

What is it about?

It's not that urgent.

You can go ahead.

Okay, then.

Let's talk after I deal with what's urgent first.

Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Jung.

What?

Whenever I'm away,

you're in charge of this hospital. You know that, right?

Yes, of course.

Keep up the good work.

Sure.

This is driving me crazy.

(Operation Room 1, Operation Room 2)

- Good work. - Good work.

Dr. Seo.

Will you go to the Staff Lounge for a moment?

The fact-finding committee has come from the main hospital...

because of the table death yesterday.

They want to ask a few questions to you and Dr. Yang.

Now?

I know you're tired after the operation,

but please cooperate.

Okay, I'll get changed and head there right away.

- Has it begun? - Yes.

I'd like you two to go back to your places too.

Okay.

- Let's go, Nurse Oh. - Okay.

Have a seat.

We'll start our questions.

Shall we start?

First of all, I'm going to ask Dr. Seo Woo Jin.

Were you the first assistant in the operation on Kang Ik Joon?

Yes.

How many times did you participate in operations...

as the first assistant with Dr. Park Min Guk?

I've participated in a total of three operations,

and I performed two of them as the first assistant.

I heard Dr. Yang Ho Jun was usually the first assistant.

Why did it change for the operation on Kang Ik Joon?

I specialize in laparoscopy.

But this operation was an open one.

That's why.

I heard it was you, Dr. Shim Hye Jin,

who first voiced concerns regarding the WPW syndrome.

It gave me doubts after seeing the EKG results.

I fully reported that I was concerned about it.

Are you saying you objected to the operation?

But why did you open the OR for them?

Was there any pressure from the operating surgeon?

I won't comment on that.

Why is that?

No matter what anyone says, they are a part of my team.

I don't want to refute what my team members said.

But we'd like to hear your answer for the sake of the investigation.

Of course.

You should answer us even it's a red-tape investigation.

Did you enforce the operation...

despite the disapproval of the anesthesiology department?

I did not...

put any pressure...

on the anesthesiology department.

How could you be a stumbling block to my plan...

just because you couldn't break one anesthesiology department?

That goes the same with the internal medicine.

Dr. Na Woo Min, it's me.

Don't give your answer to Dr. Yang,

but bring it to me right now.

I voiced my concerns enough on the WPW syndrome to Dr. Park.

I only received it as a reference.

I told him to reschedule the operation...

after getting treatment in the main hospital.

I received an answer from the internal medicine...

that I can send him...

to the main hospital for a follow-up study after surgery.

Is that true?

Yes,

that's right.

I see there was an accident three years ago.

It was a table death too, wasn't it?

Yes, you're right.

You went to a second trial but lost.

I also heard you paid a huge amount to the family.

Yes, I did.

You also divorced with your husband because of that.

I heard you have a son,

but who has custody?

What does that have to do with this investigation?

I didn't mean to offend you.

I was just personally curious.

Come on. Think about it.

Why would the successful Dr. Park Min Guk enforce...

the risky operation? For What?

He was even the heir of Sejin Group.

He must've needed an achievement.

Pardon?

What do you mean, Dr. Seo?

He failed to suture in the second operation...

of the National Defense Minister...

and wasn't able to make any achievements...

as the director of Doldam Hospital.

Maybe that's why he was anxious.

Hey, Seo Woo Jin.

He was desperate enough to change the first assistant...

on the day of the operation.

Am I wrong?

He bypassed emergency patients to accept only VIP patients.

He didn't call the police and hid the case...

when a doctor was stabbed with a knife.

He transferred skilled doctors...

- to other hospitals. - Hey.

He got the title as the hospital director...

but focused on doing foolish acts than his main duty.

He must've felt anxious for sure.

You jerk, do you want to die?

Calm down, Dr. Yang Ho Jun.

Let go of that hand.

This prick is just taking out his anger like this.

He was fired by Dr. Park Min Guk when he was in the main hospital.

He was a whistle-blower...

and did so many unnecessary things as a doctor,

so Dr. Park fired him because he couldn't bear with him.

He's trying to get back at him.

This is a setup.

I get what you mean.

Do In Beom,

you know Dr. Park Min Guk well.

You respect him, don't you?

You're right.

- He's skilled and has dignity. - You're right.

But we have to rule out our personal emotions here.

A person has died.

I think we've heard enough.

Let's end our interview here.

I might call you again for further questions.

Please don't go too far from the hospital today.

Goodbye.

You're a jerk.

You...

What was that a while ago, Dr. Seo Woo Jin?

What do you mean?

You just needed to talk about the table death.

What about it?

Did you have to talk about Dr. Park like that?

You told me to do so.

You said we had to give him up to save Doldam Hospital.

So I tried to make a rationale for it.

Was there anything wrong?

I think you got me wrong.

Dr. Kim hates it...

when a doctor is involved in politics in the hospital.

I didn't do that.

You intentionally said unnecessary things and slandered him.

If you get what you want from that, that's politics.

I only stated the facts.

If you had any complaints, you should go up to him directly.

He's not someone I can fight on my own.

He's a hospital director, and I'm just a mere fellow doctor.

We have different social statuses.

If you knew that,

why did you express your personal feelings?

It becomes instigation if you can't rule out your feelings.

The more unjust you feel, the less persuasive you become.

The more you feel frustrated,

the less convincing you sound.

People will doubt the boundary between your facts and emotions.

Situations that can be overturned with facts can go wrong...

the moment you put your emotions into it.

Do you get me?

I won't let it happen.

I won't let anything happen...

to Doldam Hospital and Dr. Kim.

Did the investigation go well?

I don't know.

I heard that Kang Ik Joon went into operation,

knowing that he had WPW syndrome. Did you know about that?

What do you mean?

He knew about it.

- Did you say he knew it? - Yes.

He received an explanation from Dr. Park Min Guk.

However...

Let's not tell Mom and Dad about this.

Ik Joon.

We have to tell them about something like this.

There could be trouble during the procedure.

I don't want them to be bothered because of me.

I'm not showing any symptoms,

and they said it'll be all right since I'm young.

And the odds that it'll happen during the operation aren't high.

Are you thinking of getting the surgery?

(Surgery Consent Form)

(Kang Ik Joon)

Ik Joon.

What if something goes wrong?

Then it must mean I'm destined to die.

Whether I die of cancer or die of WPW,

I'll still be dead.

So you're saying...

The patient was fully aware of his WPW syndrome.

And it was his choice to get the operation.

If there was no mistake during the procedure...

There wasn't one. I know.

Then Dr. Park has no responsibility for this incident.

He may be morally responsible, but he's good to go legally.

Then why isn't he telling the investigators about that?

That's why I'm saying it's strange.

Why is he making it worse by not telling them?

It seems inevitable that we must investigate...

Doldam Hospital further.

What do you mean you need to investigate it further?

While investigating this table death,

a lot of problems in the system...

of Doldam Hospital are exposed.

We also found some problems that we can't ignore.

What kind of problems are you talking about?

Well, we'll have to investigate further to figure that out.

Aren't you planning to make more problems by any chance?

I agree with him on the fact that we'll need to investigate further.

Also,

I think we should evaluate the qualities...

of the doctors in Doldam Hospital.

I agree.

I also agree.

Oh, boy.

It's become a nuisance.

What should we do?

If the legal investigators think so, we'll have to.

We know nothing about the laws.

Wouldn't you agree, Director Park?

Director Park.

Listen to me closely.

I don't want to reproach you for the mistake you've made.

But we can't just leave your mistake...

as a mere mistake.

I'm planning to organize a fact-finding committee.

They'll be organized under the pretext of investigating,

but their purpose will be...

to dig up the true nature of Doldam Hospital.

So what is it that you want?

There's only one thing...

I want.

Shutting down Doldam Hospital.

And I want to build a new future there.

To do so, I'll need your full cooperation.

This could be...

the only way you have to survive from this.

Manager Jang.

Yes, Director Park.

The information that the investigators want...

Disclose everything to them.

Everything?

Yes, everything they need.

Cooperate with them properly.

Everything will go on according to the scenario they had planned.

Their purpose is...

to find an excuse to shut down Doldam Hospital by any means.

To do that, they'll try to find any fault they can.

If they find a fault,

and the director and the chairman...

decide to shut down the hospital...

Then we won't be able to stop it.

They only call themselves a fact-finding committee.

But the truth is that they're here to shut down Doldam Hospital, right?

It seems...

that they're also abandoning Dr. Shim, Dr. Kim.

Even in this situation,

would you rather give Dr. Park a chance?

Do you still think there is hope in him?

Yes, Dr. Seo.

What are you doing?

I'm packing up beforehand.

I'll probably be suspended.

Suspended?

- Why would they suspend you? - The circumstances tell me so.

It feels like they're coming after me with a conclusion already formed.

You've explained WPW to the patient enough,

and he was fully aware of it when he entered the OR.

You know, sometimes,

rather than struggling to avoid responsibility,

it's much easier...

when you go ahead and hold yourself responsible.

Anyway, it was my fault to open the OR.

Whether I was forced or pressured,

it's fair that I bear the responsibility in part.

I've been living like I owe something to Dr. Park.

This could make it even, and it takes a load off my mind.

But do you think this is right?

If there was no mistake during the procedure,

there's no reason for the investigators to remain here.

Listen, Dr. Seo.

The patient that died yesterday is merely an excuse.

He didn't matter to them in the first place.

Can't you see?

If so, we should remove the excuse.

Patient Kang Ik Joon who was in Room 208,

can I get his guardian's phone number?

Just a moment.

Please pick up.

Please.

Come on.

The number you have dialed is unavailable...

Can I help you?

Is the surgery consent form of Kang Ik Joon from yesterday...

in here by any chance?

Dr. Yang took the form this morning.

(Diagnosis: Pancreatic cancer)

(Kang Ik Joon, Relationship with the patient: Myself)

If you're fine with a copy, you should go talk to Dr. Kim.

Pardon? Dr. Kim?

Yes.

Dr. Kim told me to make a copy, so I did.

He just came here and took it.

What are you doing? Take a look.

(Kang Ik Joon, Relationship with the patient: Myself)

He didn't only sign the surgery consent form.

He also signed the form to confirm that he listened...

to the explanation on his WPW.

With these,

you wouldn't have to be suspended, right?

All right.

The fact-finding committee is making a mess downstairs.

Let's send them back.

Surgeons like us carry knives to save people.

It is our fate to save patients,

but there will be times when we can't do that.

That goes the same for Kang Ik Joon who passed away yesterday.

I understand that you enforced it because you thought...

that his cancer was more threatening...

than the risks of the WPW syndrome.

It would've been great if you had saved the patient.

I also feel sorry that it didn't happen.

However,

you shouldn't do politics...

with the death of a patient.

Director Park,

I don't know how high your ambitions are.

But I thought you'd at least have the pride as a doctor.

That's because you didn't avoid...

or run away from the patient.

I knew you were a close-minded person,

but I didn't think you were incompetent.

I also knew you had a strong ego.

I knew that would be the reason...

why you wouldn't lose any patient.

But then,

I didn't expect you to reveal your ugliness...

like this at once.

You hid things that shouldn't have been hidden.

You even cut off your team members whom you should've protected.

And now, you are even messing around...

with Doldam Hospital which you shouldn't.

What are you getting in return?

Stop that.

I feel uncomfortable to be listening to you.

Answer me, Park Min Guk.

What are you getting in return for doing all these?

Dr. Bu Young Ju.

It's your failure.

What?

I wanted to expose...

all of your hypocrisy...

and your conceited self.

You're wrong, fake, and mad.

But I wasn't supposed to be the one to leave.

It was supposed to be you.

You obeyed someone like Do Yoon Wan...

and threatened this hospital...

just because of that?

Was it just because of me?

Was it because you wanted to see me fail?

Doldam Hospital is already an overturned bus.

No matter how hard you perform CPR here,

the golden time to save this place has passed.

You shouldn't pronounce it dead...

just because you can't save it.

You think you're the only one that's right and noble.

Don't underestimate my self-esteem,

all the efforts I've made,

and all the achievements I've made.

I'm not someone you can look down on.

Do you get me?

Director Park.

You weren't stupid. You're hopeless.

You are egoistic, stubborn, and full of inferiority complex.

You only have a belief with arrogance and bluff.

Wait a minute.

That's not a belief.

It's an obsession made from your greed and delusions.

I had this thought once...

that it would've been nice if you'd been in this hospital.

I thought about it.

You weren't a bad doctor at all.

But I'm grateful now.

It was a short time for me,

but you taught me that was useless.

Well,

while you still have this title as the hospital director,

(Director Park Min Guk)

you should clean up...

all these messes you created.

I'm not going to wait...

or tolerate it anymore.

Honestly,

did you know that all of you look...

very obnoxious to us?

Why is that?

You make us uncomfortable.

We thought we did our best doing our job.

But we become embarrassed...

when we compare ourselves to you.

But we can't say that out loud.

But shouldn't we all be aware...

of why we're doing our best?

He expressed a muscle pain in his left chest,

so we took a chest X-ray,

but something seems wrong with his left lung.

It seemed pretty normal.

I'll run the AI program.

We have a patient.

- Let me know if you get the result. - Yes.

What happened to him?

He has a stomachache.

He was told to be careful about what he eats,

but he ate too much in the morning.

He's having a stomachache again.

Sir, I'll take a look at your stomach.

What surgery was this?

He had a hole in his intestines,

and his intestines were partly removed a long time ago.

How long ago was it?

It's been a long time.

It was when he was young.

I think it's been 40 years.

You're right.

What about this?

His gall bladder was removed five years ago.

How are his vitals?

It's 145, 80 and 70, and 36.8 degrees.

Please take him to bed number nine.

- Nurse Um, please go to the X-ray. - Yes.

We'll get him a catheter as we give him the rem.

Please get one tramadol at the side.

Yes, sir.

- I got the results. - Okay.

It's a pneumothorax.

What is it? Did you get something?

We have your X-ray here.

- You got pneumothorax on your left. - A pneumothorax?

Come here.

- I'm in pain. - You're here again.

You told me to come back when it hurts.

I told you to go to a urologist if it hurt again.

- When did you say that? - While prescribing the medicine,

I told you that the medicine might not drain the stones,

so you had to go to a urology department...

and get a lithodialysis.

What are you talking about? I never heard about that.

- Come here. - I can't die here.

- Please do something! - Doctor.

I'm coming!

Please wait a minute.

I rolled over while hiking.

My forehead is ripped.

I see.

Nurse Joo, please bring him to the hybrid operating room.

- Please come this way. - This is so painful!

Let me see.

- Over here, doctor. - Okay.

Dr. Yoon, call Dr. Seo Woo Jin right now.

- Doctor! - Yes?

- My child fell and can't walk. - Did you say she can't walk?

I'm dying.

Excuse me. You need to give us an explanation.

You're okay.

- Please wait a minute. - Doctor.

- What are you doing? - Can you check me first?

Please wait a minute.

- Please wait. - I can't wait.

I can't breathe.

Doctor.

This is driving me crazy.

Dr. Jung In Su.

What's happening here? Do you need some help?

Yes, Dr. Kim.

Could you take a look at the patient in the hybrid operating room?

Okay, I got it.

- Thank you. - Oh, right.

What is it that you wanted to tell me about?

What?

- Doctor! - Well, that's...

- Doctor. - Don't die!

- No! - Tell me already if it's important.

No, I'll take care of it.

- Dr. Jung! - I'm coming.

- I'll leave the patient to you. - Okay, hurry there.

Dr. Yoon, watch the kid!

Lie straight.

Dr. Jung ended up staying in Doldam again like that again.

Hi, honey.

Yes, things happened that way.

I looked into that new hospital,

and it turned out the place is a total mess.

They lied to me about the salary,

not to mention other lame conditions.

Of course.

Doldam Hospital is way better.

Sorry.

I'll stay here quietly...

and wait for a chance to go to the main hospital.

That's much more advantageous for me, honey.

Exactly.

- Dr. Jung, the patient. - Honey.

I need to go. I'll call you again later.

I love you. Very much.

I'm coming.

I'm glad everyone is going over the hump safely.

Mr. Yeo,

you're holding out safely too, right?

(Park Min Guk)

What are you going to do?

About the fact-finding committee, I mean.

Give it to them.

But sir.

Don't you know it?

It's a losing fight for us.

So?

Are you going to withdraw like this?

What else can we do then?

They have a written consent...

that proves the patient's agreement on every process about the surgery.

Besides, the late patient's guardian is here...

and insisting that there weren't any problems...

in the process of signing the consent.

Right.

He listened to all the explanations and signed the consent himself.

- What happened? - Not sure.

This is awful. I'm hanging up!

Goodness gracious.

He'd better learn how to show kindness to others...

as he gets older.

Those idiots.

I gave them a golden chance, but they messed it up!

Foolish punks!

- Mr. Do. - What?

You have a guest.

Sorry, I'm a bit late, Mr. Do.

- Are you leaving? - Yes.

I better leave now that I'm done with my business.

We have a patient with bowel obstruction.

It hasn't proceeded to necrosis yet.

I'm planning on conducting laparoscopic adhesiolysis.

(Laparoscopic adhesiolysis)

Will you teach me a lesson on this?

I'll begin the adhesiolysis...

on the patient with small bowel obstruction.

It's been a while to perform surgery with you, Dr. Do.

You're the best when it comes to laparoscopy.

Thank you, but today,

Dr. Seo will be in charge of this.

Me?

I'll assist you, so try doing it.

Can you?

We'll switch our places then.

I'll begin the surgery. Scalpel.

Bovie.

- Kelly forceps. - Kelly.

Trocar.

Gas, on.

The insufflation isn't working well.

It could be because of adhesion.

Camera.

Scalpel.

Kelly forceps.

Now, trocar.

The adhesion is too severe.

(Adhesion)

- Dissector. - Grasper.

Energy device.

I heard you gave him homework.

Did Woo Jin say that to you?

I saw our project files on his desk.

After about a year or two,

you and Kang Dong Joo...

- better brace yourselves. - No way.

Don't favoritize him too much.

When will you have the surgery for your CTS?

When Seo Woo Jin, that punk, finishes his homework.

I'll do it then.

You did well...

in the surgery.

It's thanks to your instruction.

Thank you for the lesson.

Experience is all that matters to surgeons.

You know what I mean, right?

Yes, I do.

Keep the hospital safe until I come back again.

- Are you coming back again? - Didn't you know?

I belong to Doldam Hospital.

I was only dispatched to the main hospital.

- I see. - And...

make sure you complete the homework Dr. Kim gave you.

Your teacher wants you to diagnose his own illness.

He wouldn't give such homework to just any pupil.

Still, how could you leave without saying goodbye?

There were some crises, but we didn't get caught.

Right.

Okay.

Take care.

Tell Aunt I said hello.

Okay, bye.

Since when were you there?

Since before you entered.

I see.

But why didn't I see you?

By the way,

who's that guy?

The ICU. It's Mr. Yeo!

Gosh, Dr. Yoon.

Dr. Yoon?

Goodness gracious.

Where is she?

- Where are you going? - To the ICU for Mr. Yeo.

I see.

(A Cornered Stone Project)

(Thank you, Yang Se Jong, for your guest appearance.)

(Dr. Romantic 2)

Cha Eun Jae is returning to the main hospital.

What do we do about that brat?

Just express your feelings first.

Why aren't you stopping me?

Are we good now?

Does Dr. Kim have an illness other than CTS?

I've found the answer to the homework you gave me.

Dr. Park.

Help us.

Will we be able to kick Dr. Kim out of Doldam with that?

Do you still think you can operate on patients?

We have a serious concern about your situation.
