Medical Top Team

His heart

has stopped.

First, we'll open the chest and drain the tamponade.

Tamponade: Fluid pooled in the pericardium, the sac holding the heart. Often occurs 24-48 hrs after surgery.

Wire holder.

Wire cutter.

Rib spreader.

Nurse Kim, please administer epinephrine every three minutes.

-Yes. - I'm going to do heart massage.

Is the heart beating?

Not yet.

What do we do?

Nurse Yoo, what happened?

They opened the chest and doing a heart massage but the heart is not beating yet.

What happened to Director Song?

Right now, they opened the chest again

and are extracting body fluids, so he will be okay soon.

Here,

they opened the chest?

ECG is coming back.

Maintain the epinephrine dosage, and do the full lab.

Yes.

Nurse Kim.

Heartbeat is getting stronger.

Then I'll stop the heart massage.

The blood pressure is maintained.

Ah. After the anesthesia wears off,

we'll just have to wait for him to wake up well.

Ah. My heart.

Ah.

Chief Han, didn't you say that you'll put everything you have

to save my son?

The cardiac surgery patient

can have temporary signs of a cardiac arrest.

I believe that your son was passing through that process.

I'm sorry to have worried you.

I didn't think that tamponade would occur. There was definitely nothing wrong.

This can sometimes occur, when you were glad that the patient woke up well,

but then something surprising happens again.

I hope there aren't any more complications.

Why?

I feel a little leery.

I hope nothing's wrong.

Mr. Beom Joon told me that I was insensitive.

That's because Professor Seo, you're very chic.

And that's your charm.

For some reason, those words have been on my mind.

Yes.

Mr. Song Beom Joon?

Can you hear my voice?

Mr. Song Beom Joon?

The patient's consciousness is not returning?

Yes.

How much the time passed?

From the time anesthesia wore off, about 1 1/2 hours have passed.

Mr. Beom Joon, can you hear my voice?

If you can hear me, can you grip my hand tightly?

Mr. Beom Joon?

The time heart stopped was short,

I don't think there was any brain damage.

I heard that the patient is not waking up yet.

I'll take a look.

It seems like we need to do EEG (Electroencephalography).

We should also do a brain MRI, right?

Yes. Please proceed with any additional examination deemed necessary as well.

Other than the intermittent observation of the slow wave in patient's EEG,

there's no abnormal findings and vitals are all stable.

The result from brain MRI, it's certainly not hypoxic damage. [Hypoxic Damage: Brain damage due to lack of oxygen.]

It's strange since the patient's condition is all normal.

What about the blood test result?

Yes.

Inflammation level and white blood cell count are increasing.

The blood test result are not good.

It could lead to septicemia.

I think we should do a cerebrospinal fluid examination first.

Even though there's no abnormality in the brain MRI,

the patient continuing to be unconscious means that there must be problem in some other area.

Let's do that.

What are you going to do about this matter, Chief Han?

Madam went back home.

Why did she leave, not staying with her son?

Probably to find different measures.

She probably made a judgment that she couldn't trust the unreliable medical staff.

That's why I told you so many times, to just let them go to America!!

Why would you just do what you wanted to do, and make this big of a mess?

Don't worry.

I'll take the responsibility and make sure the patient Song Beom Joon lives.

Right now, the important thing is not about someone like you, Dr. Park Tae Shin

taking responsibility or not.

You're right. Apart from taking the responsibility,

the patient's life is more important.

The hospital is more important.

Because of a mere doctor who came from the outside,

our entire hospital sank into a pit that we can't get out of,

I don't know how we can resolve this mess.

Yes, yes.

Yes. I'll go there right now.

Did something happen to the patient?

No. I'll be back soon.

Vice President.

Lead me to your office!!!

Did you intend to do this?

Did you intend to ruin our company and scare me to death?

Are you taking revenge on me because of your mom?

It's not that, Chairman.

Although the patient is unconscious right now,

we're going to find the cause and...

The investment for Jordan project has been cancelled completely.

The deals that we've been doing with Se Hyeong Group,

are about to get cut off.

Top Team or whatever. When you were running around trying to establish that team,

I should've stopped you from doing that.

Chairman,

the Top Team doctors are now,

trying to save the patient...

I shouldn't have taken you in as my son from the start.

You useless bastard that came into this world by mistake.

I took you in reluctantly because I thought I would feel as if there were some unfinished business when I die.

Now you're striking the back of my head?

Han Seung Jae, you solve this even if you have to put your life on it.

Take measures and do everything that other side wants.

After everything is resolved, you get out of here.

You get out from my sight!

Chairman.

You never took me in.

What?

I came here only with my own strength and effort,

I didn't get benefits from you, Chairman.

What did you say? You bastard.

However, I will definitely save the patient.

Because he's my patient.

And I'll take full responsibility.

Since I'm the person in charge of Top Team.

So don't give me orders whether I can leave or not.

Chairman.

You don't have the right to do that.

What did you say?

Secretary Kang!

Chairman!

Please stand up.

Take care.

Buster!

Father-in-law. I'm very sorry.

I don't know how to apologize to you.

For now, let's go to my office...

If you don't take care of this matter properly,

you also get out of this hospital with Han Seung Jae.

How could it be... so fast? (How could the situation change so quickly?)

1. Hypoxic brain damage 2. Septic embolism

If I were to analyze the reason why Song Beom Joon is not waking up...

We could view it as hypoxic brain damage, or septic embolism.

However, in my opinion,

there's high probability that it is meningitis.

Can we be sure that it's meningitis?

There were no symptoms of vomiting, or headache before the surgery.

In this kind of case, we have to look for the most common factor that could cause unconsciousness.

Based on the patient's test analysis, I suspect sepsis.

I think we should think of bacterial infection first.

That's strange. If that's the case, something should have grown in the blood culture test.

I see that the result for cerebrospinal fluid came out.

I guess it's not meningitis.

But, according to this picture from the pathology department,

although it's very small,

I see cryptococcus stained in india ink.

Cryptococcus is a fungus people get infected with through contaminated soil.

They get infected when their immune system is weak also.

But if you look closely, even though they're very small, I see some other fungi as well,

so I don't think we can conclude it to be a certain type of infection as of now.

No.

If it's cryptococcus neoformans, only patients with a deteriorated immune system get infected,

but if it's cryptococcus gattii, a normal person can be infected as well.

Cryptococcus gattii is a fungus that was prevalent in Canada in recent few years,

and there's no report of such infection domestically yet.

Then that makes it further from being the cause.

As far as I know, Song Beom Joon didn't travel abroad, at least within the past year.

Is that so?

For now, let's conclude it as sepsis caused by embolism,

and add vancomycin to cover for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

Please maintain the fluid well so that there's always enough volume.

Okay.

Doctor Bae, please check if there is pulmonary edema or not.

Yes, will do.

I'll check the volume condition as I monitor the central venous pressure.

Yes, please.

Chief!

I think it's cryptococcus gattii.

The fact that the patient didn't travel abroad... You probably found out by asking them questions, right?

Yes, I confirmed it with both the mother and the patient.

Then there's a possibility that it wasn't true.

It should be, since the patient's mother was always with the patient.

I'll find that out later, and anyhow,

the patient should be treated with antifungal medicine against cryptococcus gattii.

Amphotericin B. That's the only way the patient can regain consciousness.

Amphotericin B is too risky.

He's already getting too many antibiotics, and it's not been long since we administered CPR.

I agree.

If it goes wrong, he can get acute heart failure and multiple organ damage.

For now, we'll proceed as the team decided.

Amphotericin

Save prescription

Mr. Beom Joon.

I believe I'm right.

You must wake up, please.

Then, as for Kwanghye Hospital #2 that is being constructed in the new city of Do Myung...

You're saying you're going to change its usage to a Royal Medical Center?

That's right.

But with the public opinion as well...

We have to get agreements from the residents in that area as well.

It won't be easy.

Yes.

There are a lot of problems that we need to take care of as we move on.

The first task we have to tackle is

to build the medical staff pool that is suitable for a Royal Medical Center.

Currently, Medical Top Team can be its signal flare.

Then, Chief Han's Top Team should become quickly famous first.

That's right.

But, Chief Han's idea only

doesn't seem enough to vitalize Top Team in a short period of time.

Chief Han has a side of being a dreamer, which is also his weakness.

Doctor Park! - Nurse Yoo.

Are you just finished with the surgery?

Yes. It look pretty long.

Are you sleeping at the hospital tonight as well?

I think so.

It must be uncomfortable every night...

Would you like me to find a place for you to sleep in?

It's fine. I can sleep in the ward, so...

--Doctor. --Oh, my heart!

Look, do you want to go somewhere with me?

Where?

You'll know once you get there.

This way.

Startling people!

Storage Room

Do you sleep here?

Yes. This place is the same as my home.

You probably shouldn't use this place as your personal space.

Of course you shouldn't.

Here. Lie down.

It's already cramped, and with me...

I can sleep in the office as well.

Even if you're sleeping just for half an hour,

you have to sleep deeply in a proper place like this to get rid of your fatigue.

Here. Just try lying down.

Shall I, then?

Just consider it your home and...

Here.

Isn't it nice? Comfy?

Yes.

Aigoo... I saw you always sleeping

cramped up in an office couch.

You'll get sick if you keep doing that.

From now on, sleep here with me.

Consider it your home...

Ah, it feels nice.

But why are you sleeping on top of a handkerchief?

Ironing effect.

Doctor Park.

Yes.

The fact that I sleep here...

It's secret.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

You were called, right?

Yes, let's go.

The patient's blood pressure is dropping and the tachycardia has increased substantially.

and I think he has chills.

The patient's heart rate has passed 140.

He shows T wave inversion and ST depression. (changes on the EKG that indicate damage to the heart)

It's a little strange to call it a myocardial infarction. (myocardial infarction = heart attack)

That's true.

There's A-fib and the heart rate is too fast. (Atrial Fibrillation is a rapid irregular heart rhythm)

For now, let's check the cardiac enzymes and let's take an EKG every 30 minutes.(EKG = electrocardiogram)

- Please start Amiodarone. - Yes.(Amiodarone is an intravenous drug to treat dysrhythmias.)

No,

we can't use Amiodarone.

Why not?

If the tachycardia continues like this, his blood pressure could fall further.

Amiodarone, use it.

Truthfully,

I administered Amphotericin B.

What did you say?

As per his EKG, he even has QT prolongation (EKG abnormality) and hypokalemia.

If Amiodarone is administered, the patient's condition will worsen further.

For now, we have to start by suspending the Amphotericin B.

The heart has just barely come back, we can't burden it.

We have to decrease the heart rate.

For that we can wait while supplementing the potassium.

We have to keep administering the Amphotericin B.

It would be good to suspend the administration, wouldn't it?

We have to stop it.

For now, give NSAID's and the potassium mix. Anti-inflammatory medications and potassium replacement.

Yes, Chief.

Chief Han.

Doctor Kim Sung Woo,

continue to check the patient.

Yes. I understand.

Chief Han, we have to continue administering Amphotericin B.

The patient's tachycardia being severe isn't because of the side effect of Amphotericin B.

The patient's heart status is that it's stopped and returned.

Watching the amount of his urine diminish,

it's definitive that his kidneys have been affected as well.

The administration of Amphotericin B makes no sense.

The patient is still holding on.

For now, let's hydrate the patient,

We can maintain the urine by using diueretics.

If the kidney function is damaged, then we can use AmBisome (Liposomal Amphotericin B with less side effects).

We can't stop its administration.

Doctor Park, I don't know how you saw me but I'm a person that follows the rules to the letter.

In this case, I believe it to be right to treat

first the certain diagnosis that the patient shows.

What you say is correct. I agree with you.

And I, rather than your certain diagnosis,

I think that my diagnosis is far closer to the correct answer.

What about the evidence?

I'm looking for it.

Doctor Park, I know very well that you're an outstanding physician.

I also know that you have an uncommon gift of intuition about patients.

But still, not this time.

With only your unsubstantiated feelings, there are things that you can't pursue.

The direction of Song Beom Jun's treatment, has already been decided by the team.

Please follow it.

As the team leader, I implore you.

Doctor Jeong.

I was very disappointed in you, Doctor Park.

No matter how urgent the situation,

I believe that you discussing it with me first was your duty.

It's because for Meningitis,

I, a neurologist, have far more experience than you do.

Doctor Jeong.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to discuss it with you but you seemed to be against it...

If I disagree do I have to be excluded?

Was it not that you didn't have the confidence to convince me?

I'm disappointed in you Doctor.

I'm very disappointed in you.

So, why did you do it? You should have discussed it.

When my head is full of stuff folding these things are perfect.

Ahjussi, you're head is full of stuff?

Yes.

Why?

Some ahjussi got his surgery from me,

but he keeps sleeping and doesn't wake up.

Even though you told him, "wake up well?"

I told him.

But what fun dream is he dreaming... Ah, so complicated!

Ahjussi?

Why?

You're going to pluck my grey hair again?

Does it show?

Pluck it, pluck it.

What is it?

So that the stuff filling your head gets blown away.

I think they're flying away.

Cryptococcus gattii from 1999-2008,

was famous in the whole district of British Columbia and 16 people successively died,

and thereafter the disease is slowly spreading towards America.

There is a theory that the global warming is one of its causes.

With the fact itself that Cryptococcus was found imperceptibly,

it's not something we can just let pass.

Do you also think that I'm mistaken?

I can't decide whether you are wrong or right, but

administering a medication without the patient knowing was definitely a wrongful act.

I know.

But for now I felt that waking the patient was more important.

If we don't do it the way that you think, does it mean the patient won't wake up?

It could be that way. It's a matter of time, isn't it?

You said this,

that the words that Song Beom Jun said kept bothering you.

That you were unconcerned towards the patient,

that unconcern, wouldn't that be the meaning?

Not as a patient, but the concern towards a person.

Even if we got to know someone, how much could we really know about that person?

No one knows whether Beom Jun really traveled and came back.

What we know is Beom Jun's disease,

not about who is he is as a person.

Professor Seo Ju Young, please help me.

You want to administer it again?

Do you think I'll help you?

Yes.

Why?

I told you earlier.

I do, and Professor Seo Ju Young also, we are people with intuition.

No, you saw me incorrectly.

I'm a person who only acts based on substantiation.

There must have been something.

As a doctor, there must have been a time that you wanted to believe your intuition.

Isn't that right?

Chief.

How is the patient?

The patient is still unconscious.

The blood pressure is still 120/90, normal.

The patient...is that Amphotericin going in?

What?

I'm sorry.

I was in the operating room and I just switched over.

I didn't see who ordered it.

I suspended the administration of Amphotericin, who ordered it!

I did it.

You can't. We can't stop administering the injection again.

Doctor, seriously.

Stop its administration.

Pardon?

Professor Seo Ju Young, it's Choi Ah Jin.

I didn't know you would break the rule that I ordered so clearly.

Because the patient recovering his consciousness is the most important.

If we stick to the principle like you said, there will be no improvement even till tomorrow morning.

So does that mean that the patient will be able to wake up only if we administer as per your prescription?

Among various causes for unconsciousness,

I thought that my way would be the fastest route.

It might not be the fastest route, and it may even be the wrong route.

I thought you believed in me.

If you had just trusted me,

you would've not taken an arbitrary action this far.

Professor Seo would have looked over everything, but you even excluded her and administered it again...

I got a consent from Professor Seo.

Chief!

Professor Seo, is it true that you consented to administer the injection (of Amphotericin)?

Yes.

I thought that administering Amphotericin would be the best prescription for the time being.

There is also a possibility that the patient went on a vacation secretly.

Yes, Madam.

For your son's consciousness recovery,

we doctors are trying our best.

The medical accident investigation team was assigned?

I think we've done everything that we're capable of doing, now.

What's the reason?

The decisive reason that made you believe that Dr. Park's diagnosis is right.

I just picked the side that gave the patient the greatest odds.

How is the patient?

Not yet . . .

In the case that the patient doesn't wake up by tomorrow morning,

they say that Se Hyeong Group will hire a team to investigate the doctors.

Since you said that you would take responsibility,

I believe that you will do so.

Not as a patient,

but the interest we have for him as a person.

Just because we get to know a person,

how much do you think we really know about that person?

Because what we really know is Beom Joon's illness,

not about the person that he is.

Did you spend the night here?

When you watch a sleeping patient,

what thoughts come into your head?

Pardon?

When I look at him like this,

I think that I'm sharing a conversation with him.

This person keeps talking to me.

About what

I lacked as a doctor.

What more I should have done.

Uh . . . Professor.

Doctors!

The patient has woken up.

Beom Joon. Do you hear me?

If you hear me, blink your eyes.

Mr. Song Beom Joon, please move your fingers.

Will you move your toes as well?

It seems that the patient's consciousness has returned.

Check the patient's Glascow coma scale and if there's any problem, please let me know.

Yes, Chief.

Do a full neurological examination and check if there's any problem.

Yes, I will check them.

You went through a lot.

For ignoring your order and administering Amphotericin,

I'm sorry.

Since they proved to be beneficial in the end, it's fine.

Professor Seo, I was thankful.

Because you believed in me.

Please come in.

Please sit.

Because you administered the proper injection,

I heard Beom Joon woke up.

The surgery was also outstanding.

I don't know how I'll be able to show you my thanks.

Ah, well,

it wasn't just me who did the work, but the whole Top Team.

No.

If it weren't for you, Dr. Park,

I know well that it would have been difficult.

And there aren't many other issues with your life in the hospital?

Yes.

Though you did come here in accordance with Chief Han's wishes,

my expectations towards you are great.

If something difficult comes about, please look for me whenever you need help.

Yes, thank you.

But,

this situation is a little surprising to me.

When Song Beom Joon's situation wasn't very good, you acted like the hospital would be ruined all because of me.

Ah, at that time, I was also very shocked.

Please understand me.

Oh, and also, when you call next time, please don't call for me only,

but call the whole team that worked hard and compliment and give constructive criticism.

I will.

Still, if there is ever a time that you need my help,

please look for me whenever you need to.

Yes.

Dr. Park.

Why is it that you're here?

Because the Vice President called me over.

Is that so?

She complimented me saying that I worked hard.

She only called me and made me feel uncomfortable.

Please make some time.

I wanted to give this to you earlier, but I'm giving it to you late.

This is a present that I'm giving to you.

I don't need a car.

It was included in the terms of the contract when we recruited you.

I don't know if it's really alright for me to be accept this?

You will be needing it going forward.

Also in regards to yesterday

I hope you will be understanding.

Of course.

I completely understand.

Ba Wi, what are you doing?

Ahjusshi, I'm bored.

Really?

Then would you like to go somewhere with me?

Yes.

Let's get you ready.

Do you like it?

You really lack any athletic skills.

Ah, what are you doing?

I almost got hurt.

Do you think I would allow you to get injured?

Seriously.

Are you going somewhere?

Over there.

Unni, let's go together.

Then someone else is giving me a lung?

Long time ago, when Ba Wi had leukemia,

You received blood and bone marrow also.

This time you'll be receiving a lung as a present.

Why?

All I ever do is receive things from others.

I would like to give a present also.

No, you can give a present also.

After living long and healthy,

when you become a grandmother and go to heaven

"I'd like to give sick people presents also"

you can make a promise to give too.

-Really? -Yes.

I've also made a promise to give presents.

What can I give away as a present?

You have been giving a present.

Don't you know?

I didn't give away anything.

Every time you laugh

your laughter spreads everywhere.

Those people over there,

that tree over there and that bird

were all made happy.

That's why it's a present. It's the gift of happiness.

Miss Eun Ba Wi,

what are you doing now?

You're drawing my face, aren't you?

A picture of me with dirt on my head and a runny nose.

What are you drawing?

Let me see.

No.. - Give it to me.

No.

Hey, I'm really sad.

This won't do. I guess I'll be leaving now.

I'm going to be leaving..

I've received many thankful presents from many people.

I've received, blood, bone marrow, and will be receiving a lung shortly.

So I will also be giving away a present.

Since I have such pretty eyes,

I will give my eyes.

The person who will be receiving my eyes

Will become happy when they smile.

Ahjussi, where are you going?

My nose is suddenly running.

-Is Ba Wi alright? -Yes.

You haven't left yet.

Dr. Park!

It seems she can't breathe all of a sudden!

Ba Wi!

- Bring an oxygen tank, please! - Ba Wi! Ba Wi!

Ba Wi! Ba Wi!

Intercostal retractions are severe.

It looks like bronchiole obstruction.

I don't think I hear her breathing.

Prepare 100 ml of hydrocortisone and intubation.

We'll nebulize her first.

Y..es.

[Nebuliser :Device that causes a liquid or solid to be converted into an aerosol (spray) or a vapor.]

Monitor!

If you look at Eun Ba Wi's CT scan

the part where ventilation doesn't work is increasing gradually.

Steroids and a bronchodilator will do for now,

but her condition is deteriorating.

She doesn't have time to wait until there is a brain-dead patient.

I believe we need to find a living donor and perform a live lung transplant.

Live lung transplant?

From a living person,

we're going to take a living lung lobe?

Yes, because there are no brain dead donors,

so it's difficult to receive a transplant.

A living lung donor, you say.

It's going to be difficult.

Yes.

As far as I know, a transplantation from living donor needs to meet many complicated conditions.

Passing the examination of the Ethics Committee

is also difficult, right?

It will be difficult but for now, I made a schedule for her lung transplantation.

Dr. Park.

It's unfortunate but

our hospital is in a very tenuous position to handle the issue about a transplantation from living donor.

We will need to get the consent (from the hospital board members) through the Ethics Committee, but

I don't believe it will be easy.

There was no precedent, either.

In that case, Ba Wi can become the "precedent".

First, let's pursue Ba Wi's lung transplantation from living donor by our Top Team.

I also

oppose the transplantation from living donor.

The biggest problem of that is the donor.

If the donor is her parent, maybe it can work,

but if something goes wrong with a donor (who has no connection to her),

The problem is who will take on that responsibility.

Also...

I know the risk about the transplantation from living donor very well.

And I know very well that Ba Wi is a child with a small build.

Because Novalung is used for her,

many anticoagulants were in her system,

there is a high possibility for her to have hemorrhage or even death after the surgery.

I'm fully aware.

If we think about all the risk points,

they will be numerous, right?

But I still want to do it.

I must do it.

I completely understand your feelings, Dr. Park.

However,

this can't be done by the Top Team.

If something goes wrong during surgery

it wouldn't reflect well on Top Team, isn't that why?

What do you think, Dr. Bae?

Ah me...for me...

I

agree with Dr. Han.

Up untill now in our country,

this is a reckless try. I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Ba Wi needs to be saved regardless of how it's accomplished.

I agree with Dr.Park's opinion...

I too, believe this problem

should be carefully thought over.

Not because I'm worried about the hospital or Top Team, but because it's also too risky for Ba Wi herself.

If we use TNF-alpha blockers, it may help.

For now, let's use this and waiting for a brain dead donor is a good idea.

No.

Even if that works,

it won't sustain long.

Time will just slip away while waiting for a brain dead donor, and by then our Ba Wi...

Let's put off the discussion about the lung transplantation for now.

I will also

try to find a proper alternative.

Did you say a proper alternative?

Don't we need to extend absolute effort?

If this child is your only family member, could you still say that?

Regardless whether she is family or not, all the patients are the same to me.

Because all of them are the people I must save.

That's why there shouldn't be any failure.

I will not fail!

I definitely will not fail.

Doctor, let's calm down a little.

A lung transplant from a living donor?

To the patient Eun Ba Wi?

The team atmosphere became so awkward this morning because of that.

It's difficult to do a lung transplant from a brain-dead patient,

but if it's a transplant from a living donor, there should be lots of mountains to cross.

It's also a problem that Eun Ba Wi has BO. (Bronchiolitis Obliterans)

As it's even more difficult to find a successful case of the lung transplant from a living donor for a patient with BO.

I also really want to succeed on

living donor lung transplant...

A living lung transplant?

Yes.

There hasn't been a success story for that in the nation yet, and because the dangers are high,

didn't our hospital agree not to perform it?

That also seems to be the reason why Chief Han Seung Jae is opposing it.

Chief Han is opposed to it?

Yes.

Though last time with Song Beom Jun's case, he somehow pushed through it,

I guess Chief Han himself isn't confident this time.

Did Dr. Park Tae Shin

agree with that?

Well, I heard that the two didn't clash fists, but both were broiling.

The patient Eun Ba Wi is someone who is like a daughter and a niece to Dr. Park,

so that's reasonable.

However, now that I think about it carefully,

I also think that it's strange just saying that this isn't possible.

Like you said earlier,

in order to create the Royal Medical Center, you said we need to promote Top Team as much as possible.

This time,

if we safely succeed in performing the living lung transplant,

then what better success could be secured?

That's for when we actually succeed.

If we happen to fail,

it will be even worse than not trying it.

Still, if we say that our hospital cared well for a child with no parents

and succeeded with the surgery.

What if a pitiable child with no parents happens to die?

Even if we say that it was an inevitable result that had nothing to do with the doctor's responsibilities,

It will be difficult to avoid the issues of moral responsibility

and social criticism.

I don't know.

I'm not sure if you're thinking too pessimistically or not.

When I was at San Diego Hospital, I participated in a few living lung transplant operations,

so if I were to be given permission,

I would have the heart to stand up to the challenge.

Yes, it's been a while.

Ba Wi is a child who's like family to me.

This weak child with no parents,

also caught leukemia,

and as she received her bone marrow transplant,

if she happens to leave suddenly,

I won't be able to handle it.

I won't whine for you to take my side.

Since inside this hospital,

you must have your own position.

Please give me time to think about it.

Before a certainty occurs inside of me,

I don't think I can give you an response.

Dr. Park.

I am unable

to follow your thoughts.

I'm sorry.

As for the living lung transplant, I looked into a different hospital.

So

you're telling me to take that sick child from hospital to hospital,

all around the place?

Since I already spoke with Je Il University Hospital...

Chief Han.

Did you forget the promise you made as you brought me to this hospital?

Did you not say that you would be responsible for Ba Wi's treatment?

In the case that Ba Wi's surgery fails,

are you afraid that it will hurt the Top Team?

Please calm down, Dr. Park.

I also want to help you to the best of my abilities.

For now...

It's fine. Normally, I'm not someone that doesn't have a good eye for people,

but I see that you're not the kind of person I thought you were, Chief Han.

If you persuade the Vice President,

there may be a way to do it.

Jang Yong Seob

Please come in.

Dr. Park Tae Shin, what is it?

I came because I have something to say to you.

When I came to this hospital, there is a patient

named Eun Ba Wi that came with me.

Yes, I am aware.

Ba Wi's condition got worse all of a sudden,

so she needs a lung transplant.

But we don't know when a brain-dead patient may occur,

so we're trying to perform a living lung transplant.

I received the report.

Though it is unfortunate,

the living lung transplant

cannot be performed in our hospital.

Yes, Professor Seo Ju Young.

Dr. Park, Ba Wi is having an impending arrest right now.

We're moving her to ICU right now.

We might need to use ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), so please come quickly.

Yes I understand. I'll be there soon.

Please help me, Vice President.

It's not a matter that can be decided easily here and now.

Please help me, Vice President.

Please help, Vice President.

I have to save my Ba Wi.

Please help me.

Please save her.

Please save my Ba Wi.

I have to save Ba Wi.

Please save Ba Wi! Vice President!

Please save Ba Wi!
