[Episode 44]

What do you mean she went blind after taking Jun's medicine?

You didn't know?

The fellow carried his blind mother all the way here from Jincheon.

We had better go see Jun at the clinic.

Mother, we should wait here.

What are you saying?

That must be why he didn't come home last night.

We have to go and find out what happened.

He must be busy with the work. I don't want to distract him.

They've been bragging so much, but look at what just happened.

I'm so happy to see that they are worrying.

Let's go, sweetie.

It's no use waiting. Just go away.

What? Where are Doctor Yu and Doctor Heo?

I don't know who Doctor Yu is, but Doctor Heo is busy treating my mother.

We all came a long way to see Doctor Heo.

He can't treat anyone else until he's done with my mother.

So just get the hell out of here!

Get lost! Get away!

Oh-keun, Dol-swe is using a sickle to scare off all the other patients.

What? He's using a sickle?

Yes. What do we do?

Why are you telling me that?

Then who am I supposed to tell?

Me.

Oh-keun!

I'm terrified of him.

Get lost! Go away!

Away! Away!

Hey, what do you think you're doing? You can't drive the patients away!

Doctor Heo has to take care of my mother first!

He can't see anyone else until he cures her.

He's doing everything he can for your mother.

Will you stop worrying? Go inside and have breakfast.

Young-dal, tell them to ready breakfast.

Forget it!

I won't eat anything until my mother is cured.

Wait just a little.

Doctor Heo will be out in a moment and have a look at you.

What did you say!

You...!

Scary!

We have to do something about him. He'll ruin everything!

I've never seen anyone so ignorant and crazy.

All he can think about is getting his mother cured.

His head would be empty without it.

Let's not irritate that ignorant beast. We should just leave him alone.

I don't think he's a bad person though.

I'll take care of him, so don't worry.

- You? - Yes.

Why?

How is the patient?

I got a lot of the poison out of her body.

But all I've done is rid her of poison. I have yet to work on her eyes.

Getting rid of the poison is difficult, but you did it.

I'm sure you can bring her vision back.

You have to take the tonic.

You have to drink it all.

You need to gain strength for me to cure your eyes.

Will I be able to see again if I take this?

Doctor, I'm really all right. You had saved my life once already.

I'm so sorry that my son is acting like an animal.

Please forgive him.

He is childish for his age.

But since he lost his dad at a young age, I am all that he has.

His problem is that he loves me too much.

He's not a bad boy though.

Who cares if I can see or not? My life is useless anyway.

I have nothing to lose.

Please hold firm.

You have to regain your vision for your son.

I'll restore your sight. I'll do anything to cure you.

Please trust me.

You must finish this medicine.

Lady, we need to talk.

We're in trouble.

What's the matter?

The patients are refusing to take their medicine.

What do you mean?

Someone is spreading a rumor that Doctor Heo is making their tonic strong

To heal patients faster at the risk of serious side effects.

How can this be?

You know how stupid they are. They believe anything they hear.

It's all because of that moron, Dol-swe.

Don't say anything to Doctor Heo. I don't want him even more stressed.

All right.

You must take the medicine.

We're not going to take it.

Where's Doctor Yu?

We'll take our medicine when Doctor Yu returns.

- How can we trust him? - We could go blind.

Lady, they are refusing to...

I heard already.

Offer the tonic to them again, and if they refuse, send them home.

A doctor's prescription is what saves lives.

We don't need patients who are unwilling to listen.

Now, take this.

Come on, drink it.

That's the fellow over there.

He really looks like a beast, doesn't he?

That's not all. He refuses to eat, and he stands guard at the gate all day.

What for?

So that brother Jun can treat only his mother.

He says that Jun can't see anyone else until his mother is cured.

An idiot like him must be appeased and talked into.

Come with me.

Buddy?

What!

So scary. Why don't you put that down?

My name is Gu Il-seo. I want to talk.

Why don't we have a drink? It's on me.

I'm not leaving until my mother gets cured.

But it's going to take some time. Isn't that right, Yang-tae?

Come on. Let's go have a drink.

It's totally fine.

Goodness, do you work out? Like rocks!

Come on, buddy.

Let's drink.

Bottom's up.

Bottom's up.

You're such a devoted son.

No, I'm not.

You put the rest of us to shame.

You don't know who I am, do you?

The name's Gu Il-seo. I practically grew up on Mt. Jiri.

I catch wild boars and bears with one bare hand.

I might use two to catch a tiger.

Rabbits just take a glare.

You should stop making trouble at the clinic.

What?

I know how much you love your mother,

but you have to know when to stop.

Are you trying to scare me?

Yes.

If you cause another scene, no one will ever see you again.

I'm not going to let you scare me!

Yeah?

What are you going to do?

Stay away from me, or I'll break your backs.

Time to unleash my inner beast.

What a joke.

Yang-tae... run!

The skill of looking at a patient and knowing the depth of the illness.

I divide medical skills into 4 stages. "Shin," "Sung," "Gong" and "Gyo."

The first is "Shin," which is to know a patient's condition just by looking.

By the patient's complexion, the nose, eyes, forehead, and cheeks.

Next is "Sung," which is to know the condition by sound.

"Gong" is to know the disease by asking a patient about his condition.

Lastly, "Gyo" is to know the condition by way of feeling the pulse.

If you've made it this far, you are at either "Gong" or "Gyo."

If you are to treat His Majesty, you must reach "Sung" and "Shin."

Anyone can reach these four levels with experience.

However, even if you do, if you can't empathize with the patient,

you're just another ordinary doctor.

If you can't feel the pain of a patient, you can't call yourself a true doctor.

Who cares about becoming a true doctor?

If I were to be stuck in the boondocks, treating peasants and wretches,

I would never have become a doctor.

I'll surely become the chief royal physician who treats His Majesty.

Sir.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to invite you to a small banquet to show you my gratitude.

Who's coming over for dinner?

A few important people from the bureau.

Trying to bribe them into taking Master Do-ji under their wing.

Watch it.

More work and less talk.

Ha-dong.

Yes, Milady.

Are the beef dishes done?

Yes.

Prepare the dishes with care. They must be exceptional.

Yes, Milady.

I'm sorry that I can only offer such humble dishes.

Don't say that. It's not humble at all.

Since you're here, I'd like to discuss Do-ji's marriage with you.

I think he should get married as soon as possible.

I'll introduce you to a nice lady.

The daughter of Lord Kwon Hyuk-soo, head of all government interpreters.

His only daughter. She is beautiful and intelligent.

She's more than worthy.

Doctor Heo can't treat patients, so go away.

Why not?

He has to treat my mother first. He doesn't have time for other patients.

Sir.

What's going on?

My eyes hurt. They hurt.

Ow, they hurt!

- You need to bear it. - They hurt!

Master...

Had you delayed the detoxification, she would've been gone by now.

Flushing out poison is no easy task, but you have handled it well.

She has been crying since this morning, and she's been in a lot of pain.

That is the sign that she is getting better.

Will she be able to see again?

Did you prescribe her with the eye disease remedy?

Yes.

I gave her the medicine half an hour ago.

Take off the bandages.

Wrap it around in three layers.

Give her more tonic in an hour and perform acupuncture.

Yes, sir.

Did you hear anything from Jun?

No.

I feel so anxious. I can hardly sit still.

Ma'am!

What happened?

Did she regain her vision?

Jun is still working on it. Doctor Yu and Master Samjuk are back.

So everything will be fine. Please don't worry too much.

I can't wait anymore. I have to go.

I'm too nervous to wait.

Lady Da-hee, please wait here. I'll take her to the clinic.

Husband, I have faith that you will cure the patient.

Take the bandages off.

Yes, sir.

We need to perform acupuncture.

Yes, sir.

You do it.

Huh?

Master.

What's keeping you? Go ahead.

Doctor, I want you to do it.

I heard that you're the best doctor in the country.

Please help my mother.

You are not allowed in here.

Please help my mother.

The only person who can make your mother see again is Doctor Heo.

If you want him to succeed, leave the room.

Get him out of here.

Yes, sir.

Come with me.

- But... I don't... - Come on, out!

Pick up the needle.

Don't you believe in yourself? Pick up the needle.

Doctor Heo, please.

Where will you insert the needle?

Below the neck, the hands and on the feet.

There are more.

The side of the foot and the big toe.

For that part of body, where do you insert?

The spots called "Kium" and "Jium."

Proceed.

Il-seo, Il-seo.

What's going on?

Jun is now performing acupuncture.

If Doctor Yu is back, why is he making Jun do it?

Because Doctor Yu has complete confidence in Jun.

She is in a much weakened state.

That is why it is taking more time.

Tonight will be critical.

Watch her breathing and perform acupuncture again.

Yes, sir.

Feel her breathing and breathe with her.

You did well.

Now cover her eyes.

Will she see again?

It's still too early to tell.

She's likely to have two more symptoms.

What are they?

After all the poison is out, she'll feel pain in the back of her head.

She won't be able to turn her neck.

You must treat her with "ba wei san" then.

But there will be side effects. She'll get severe stomachaches.

It won't be as bad as the headaches.

That's the way to rid of symptoms one by one.

Where is the spot called "wei-jing?"

It's in the feet and stomach. Stimulate the spot below her knees?

If I do so, will she be able to see again?

It'll only help her with the stomach pain.

Then it'll move to the back of her shoulders.

The veins in the back of her shoulders are directly connected to her eyes.

How can I reduce the pain there?

By moxibustion.

What?

After three to four days of moxibustion, she'll be fine.

Did you say moxibustion, Master?

But that's not supposed to be used with acupuncture.

Will it be all right?

You want me to walk you through every step?

I gave you an idea, so everything is up to you now.

Let's go.

Master!

Why did you say that?

Say what?

It is a rule in medicine not to mix acupuncture and moxibustion.

You told him to use both, so naturally he is surprised.

He should know better.

What do you mean by that? You gave him the strange idea.

With his excellent skills, he can perform acupuncture on the moxibustion spots.

But whatever he chooses, it's his decision.

Are you...?

I don't need more fame now.

But since Jun created this mess, he needs to clean it up himself.

His acupuncture skills are superb.

Getting three points right is good. But he got all ten points perfectly.

His acupuncture skills are one of a kind.

But he needs to stand on his own.

He needs to forget about me and learn to work on his own.

Is that what you're waiting for?

The moment he stands by himself and needs you no longer?

Oh, my shoulders. It hurts so much!

What will you do?

Then it'll move to the back of her shoulders.

The veins in the back of her shoulders are directly connected to her eyes.

How can I reduce the pain there?

By moxibustion.

After three to four days of moxibustion, she'll be fine.

I can't treat her with acupuncture and moxibustion at the same time.

But why did he tell me to do so? What do I do?

What do I do?

Master!

Master!

You're a doctor! How could you let this happen?

Is it my time?

Are you crazy? You'll go against his orders?

What if something goes wrong?

I will do what I believe is right.

Can you see me?

Mother!

This room is now your study.

Let us rush your marriage.

Ye-jin is at Samjuk Temple.

Give her this letter and receive her reply.

What's going on, Lady Ye-jin?
