Tae Shin.

What are you doing?

You're not greeting your mother.

I'm sorry.

I,

shouldn't have come.

Ahjummoni.

Tae Shin's mother.

Episode 9

Doctor!

Where are you going Doctor?

Doctor?

Do...Doc...Doctor?

Yes, Nurse Eom.

Excuse me?!

Yes.

Since when is she like this?

Since just before now.

Quickly give Ativan.

Yes. Ativan is a drug which is a muscle relaxant, which also inhibits seizures and is an anti-convulsant.

What is it?

There was a sudden seizure so I ordered Ativan.

Hold the patient.

Yes.

A seizure?

Hold her so the patient can't move.

What should I do...?

Na Yeon...

Please... Na Yeon, please...

She's getting a little better.

You took a CT, right?

Yes. There wasn't anything much.

Take the CT again and notify Dr. Jeong Hoon Min.

Yes.

Professor. Do you think there's another problem?

Let's see, the test results are all ok, but...

Where is Dr. Park Tae Shin?

Why isn't Doctor Park answering?

Doctor, why didn't you answer your phone?

I'm sorry.

Dr. Park.

Yoo Na Yeon had a dirty wound. She received a prophylactic (antibiotic) injection, right?

Dirty Wound (contaminated injury)

Why?

A little earlier she developed a seizure,

I don't think it's a problem with her head, I wonder if it's some other infection problem.

I'm not sure.

Before the surgery she definitely received a preventitive injection,

There was nothing really wrong with the earlier test results either.

Are you all right?

What?

Doctor, (your) face color doesn't look so good.

I'm ok.

Doctor,

While I was changing Patient Yoo Na Yeon's dressing,

It seemed like there was color of bile on the gauze,

by chance, could it be related to the problem?

It shouldn't be. When I was in the surgery there really wasn't any other problem.

There's damage to the large intestine, if she doesn't eat and we treat her with antibiotics she'll get better quickly.

Yes.

You must have been very shocked because of Na Yeon.

Yes. A bit.

Are you bored?

You're being mischievous.

Why were you like that earlier?

About what?

You were a little strange.

Are you not well somewhere?

No.

It's not though.

Are you hungry?

It seems like you're acting up because you're hungry.

Work hard.

Doctor, you're really bad!

Even if I ask you something everyday, you're so half hearted.

What did I do?

You know, Doctor, you are

always nice and laugh well with people,

but in truth you seem like a person who doesn't open his heart to anyone.

I asked because I was worried.

Dr. Choi Ah Jin.

Does your back not hurt?

Oh, yes. It does hurts a little.

While we were operating we put a stent into a vessel (artery), there are some cases

where it opens slowly. Stent ( A tube inserted to keep a blood vessel open).

In the case of sensitive individuals, some do complain of that pain,

It's not something to be greatly concerned about.

Yes.

From the office, has there been any word after that?

Yes.

Because you spoke to them so well

I think the company is being very considerate.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Hello. I'm this hospital's Vice President.

Hello.

Hello, Department Head. It's my first time to meet you in person.

Because you were in an accident so suddenly,

you must have been very shocked.

Still, since our hospital's best doctors performed your surgery,

you'll recover very quickly.

Yes.

I heard that my father

especially values the Department Head.

Omo, then Kwanghye Group...

Yes. I'm the second daughter in law.

I didn't know you, Vice President.

No, it's nothing.

Please take care to make sure that your health also doesn't deteriorate.

I interruped your examination.

Then, I hope you get well soon. Director.

Sidney?

Did you say Sidney?

Is there something you remember?

No, it's just...

Upon seeing the Vice President, the word Sidney floats up (in my mind).

Did you just say Sidney?

Is there something you remember?

Upon seeing the Vice President, the word Sidney floats up (in my mind)

(calling W...)

It's me.

A man called Kim Tae Hyeong, he's a department head who is a fund manager.

What kind of person is he?

Oh, Professor Seo. It's good we met like this.

That...How's Patient Kim Tae Hyeong?

Echocardiography is normal, but the memory loss is still the same.

Is it that the memory might never come back? What does the neurologist say?

From the Brain CT there doesn't seem to be any other issues found.

Then for now you'll have to look at it as aftereffects of the accident.

Keep observing Patient Kim Tae Hyeong and report to me if anything happens.

Will do.

Oh, about that...

The dispatch to the Global Research Center.

I recommended you for it. They'll get back to us once they finish screening. Keep up the good work.

Chief!

Does that mean I'm really being dispatched to the Research Center?

Yes, we already discussed this previously.

I clearly told you that I'm not interested.

- And... - Ha ha. Really...

Professor Seo.

You are part of an organization. Not everything turns out the way you want it.

You know better than to do this.

Did you have surgery?

I had a surgery for the aortic coarctation. [the aorta and esp. its orifice is abnormally narrow]

It was difficult as the flow was not good.

Of course, it's a difficult case. But you would've had an open heart surgery back then.

Lucky for the patient that he met you.

So, did you make a decision?

Whether or not you'd accept Vice President's influence for running the Top Team.

What about you, Dr. Park? Have you given it some thought?

I haven't changed my stance. How about you, Chief Han?

I'm not sure.

What decision do you think I made?

I guess you haven't decided yet.

Then, we still have some hope.

Whoa. This patient's veins are really in a bad shape.

I agree. It must be very hard to give the IV.

Uh, Nurse Yoo. Just a moment. Just a moment.

Let me take a look... Aigoo...

It's difficult to find the veins on patients who have had a lot of surgery, right?

I had a hard time finding the artery over there.

Ah, here.

Tape. - Ah, yes.

It's all done.

Hello.

I'll examine the patient for a moment.

Sure.

Where did Kim Sung Woo go?

Ah Jin! Where are you going?

Have you seen Kim Sung Woo?

Dr. Sung Woo? The ICU. He's with Patient Yoo.

Again?!

Then you came to my club's concert?

Yes.

I wanted to see you perform, oppa.

You should have come to see me.

You had become such a fabulous medical student.

I couldn't come say hi.

What nonsense is that?

Next time, don't do that.

Why?

What?

It's just... This feels like a dream.

Hi.

Kim Sung Woo! Aren't you being too much?

About what?

I went easy on you because of Na Yeon. But you took advantage of me, sitting at the ICU all the time.

Do you know how much work I've done from this morning till now instead of you?

I'm sorry.

You didn't even do the assignment Prof.Seo gave you, did you?

Ah, that's right.

Aigoo...

Who ate the bread that was in here?

Was it you?

No, Sunbae-nim, you ate it all earlier.

I did?

Yes.

Here it is!

What?

A picture I took with Na Yeon back in high school.

What...

For earlier...

I am grateful.

Ah. Yes, yes.

Dr. Jo?

What's going on... thanking me and all?

Chief.

What? Is there a problem with a patient?

No.

I'm sorry, but can you spare me some time?

Why?

Chief, let's go.

Yes.

Then, Professor Seo, why don't you come with us?

We are getting together tonight.

What do you think about Professor Seo coming with us?

Oh, that would be nice. It's been awhile.

What do you think? It's okay?

Yes.

Then, go get ready. I'll text you once we decide on the place.

Let's go.

Then... Let's make sure Prof. Koo drinks tonight.

To Chief Jang and Kwanghye University Hospital!

Cheers!

Here, Chief. Have a drink.

Here, Professor Seo. Take a drink.

I just drank some.

Accept his drink.

He'd feel left out if you only accept my drinks and not Prof. Seong Hyeon Jae's.

Okay.

Here it comes.

Please drink.

Yay!

You guys.

Prof. Seo's called a crazy dog for a reason. She is the Warrior Princess of Thoracic Surgery.

- Ta-da! -She sure is like a Warrior Princess.

Here, take another shot.

Yes.

She's good.

Whoa!

Isn't your goal to become the Big Boss in this hospital?

If you have determination to achieve your goal.

Hold hands (cooperate) with me.

Here.

Please clear away the glasses.

And I'll pay for this now

Yes.

Chief Han!

Over here!

What's the occasion?

While I was out, I thought of you, Chief Han.

Did I call you when you were busy?

No.

Let's sit.

Why are you not eating?

Because just by looking at my son, I'm full.

Chief Han.

Yes.

Chairman, that old man.

Whatever he says in front of you.

Don't ever be discouraged.

You went up to that position with your strength.

Not even a little, you never received help from that old guy.

Yes.

My Chief Han. Remain distant and uppity till the end.

Yes, Mother. Eat.

Okay.

With this meal, it would be nice if I can have a glass of wine.

You promised to me before.

Right. I know.

How can I break the promise that I made to you?

I..will never drink the alcohol.

The next round is on Prof. Seong Hyeon Jae!

Let's give thanks to the Chief.

Chief Jang, thank you for the meal.

Thank you for the meal!

People who wants to go second round can go. People who want to go home can go. Do whatever you guys want.

Okay?

Yeah!

Let's go. Hey, let's go.

Chief.

Ah.

Today, we were going to talk...

Ah. I did.

It's been a while since I drank, I forgot about it.

What was it?

Chief, I can't go to the research center.

Ah. My head.

I'm sorry but I'm really drunk right now.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

Professor Seo, you're not coming to the second round?

Let's go together.

Yes?

Doctor Park Tae Shin.

So, as a team member, you came to me to make a suggestion.

Yes.

We can't treat patients based on favors, nor can we do surgeries to promote the hospital.

Doctor Park, if you don't like our system,

Then, Dr. Park, you can leave this place.

You can't change our system.

I'll leave when it's time, but when something's wrong, I should change it.

How will you change it?

I'll have to do everything that I can do.

For example?

I'll have to find ways to stop your arbitrary decisions.

Doctors who agree with me might join forces.

Dr. Park, you are really... How should I say this?

You seem naive and a little dangerous as well.

You're interesting.

But, what should I do?

Our hospital doesn't need a dangerous doctor like you, Dr. Park.

It's more that you, Vice President, don't need me.

I'll leave for now.

Hello, Vice President. Are you going to your out-patient office hours?

Yes.

Chief Jang.

You said Dr. Park Tae Shin was at Mason Medical Center in the U.S.?

Yes.

Could you find out more about Dr. Park?

I think Chief Han would know more about Dr. Park.

No. I don't think he knows 100% completely about everything.

If he was looking to bring Dr. Park into the Top Team,

he probably only noticed the good things.

Ah, yes, that could be.

I'll rely on you.

Yes, I understand.

How's your back?

Yes, I feel okay.

Looking at your progress, I'm glad that you are recovering rapidly.

Oh, by the way...

Do you know the Vice President who visited last time?

I'm not sure. I couldn't even remember my own wife's face.

I was just wondering if perhaps your memory was returning.

I could have met her before.

My wife told me that you're paying special attention to me in various ways.

Thank you.

Even when my memory returns, that you've put so much care into me,

I should remember it, right?

You'll remember everything.

Keep your mind at peace and rest.

Medical Top Team Surgerical and Medical Treatment Plan

This is Top Team's surgery and medical treatment plans.

After I deliberated hard and long about your proposition,

I came to the conclusion that I cannot accept it.

Chief Han.

You got to this place with great difficulty. The chairman will be disappointed.

I didn't come here to make the chairman happy.

You may have come here on your own merit, but any further move will be difficult without me or the chairman.

Then, I guess from this point on it will truly be on my own merit.

You're very confident.

As always.

Then I can think of this as you rejecting the hand I offered you?

Weren't you planning on dropping it at some point anyway?

Doctor Park Tae Shin, he's a quite daring person.

Doctor Park's indiscretion will be toxic to the Team someday.

You came.

Let's start the meeting.

This is today's patient.

Patient Kim Yoo Jin, a General Surgery patient.

That is right.

This looks like a retroperitoneal teratoma. [An encapsulated tumor situated or occurring behind the peritoneum]

This patient also has a complicated case that needs an interdisciplinary approach.

How unfortunate that this happens to a young patient!

Not only the surgery would be difficult but we'd also have to pay attention to dissection of other organs.

That's why the General Surgery formally referred the patient to us.

Please look at the chart.

Chief Han!

Thank you.

For not wavering.

Miss Na Yeon, is there any discomfort?

No, I'm okay.

Unni, you're pretty.

Who me?

No. It's you who are pretty.

Sung Woo showed me a photo

of you when you were in high school.

Sung Woo has a photo of me?

Yes. He liked you when he was in high school.

But at that time he was so shy that he couldn't confess to you.

So, please get better soon and save him.

He's so pitiful everyday. He doesn't even have a girlfriend.

Excuse me, Unnie. I would like to ask for a favor.

What is this?

Organ and Tissue Donation Pledge, Yoo Na Yeon.

Patient Yoo Na Yeon?

Yeah.

She told me to bring this pledge form to her so I gave it to her and..

She pledged like this.

I pledged it myself a while ago as well.

Really?

You haven't done it yet?

Later if I pass away, with my organs and tissues,

they said that they can save a great number of people.

Skin, bone, heart valves, ligaments, blood vessels...

they can transplant them to other people.

Oh.

Na Yeon's father was sick because osteosarcoma in the past, and

from a person who had donated fluid and tissue, he received a bone graft.

Because she thought of that, I think that's why she wanted to pledge like this.

Yes, Professor?

Place a thoracic duct clamp on Patient Kim Soon Im and run a confirming X-ray after an hour.

Yes, Professor.

If the pleural effusion fluid doesn't drain, we'll need to get ready for the pleurodesis, right?

That's right.

Pleurodesis is a procedure in which the pleural space is artificially obliterated through drugs or surgery.

Re: Kwanghye Global Research Center

You have passed the preliminary screening in the recruitment of a researcher for the Global Center.

The notification of the day for the second level screening will be by email.

Really? For real?

Yeah. Professor Seo will soon go to the Research Center.

That's strange, why would Sunbae Ju Yeong apply for a position there?

Professor Seo has always liked doing research.

But, you can't talk about this anywhere.

Chief Jang has told me specially.

I'm disappointed in Uncle.

You just say that you're disappointed again!

I won't, I won't. I won't because it's cheap.

Professor Seo!

Are you going home?

Yes.

It's strange...

That you're leaving work early.

♫ Even joining hands, tears fall. You are a torment. ♫

♫ Why is one step away always so far as to make me breathless? ♫

Chief Han Seung Jae

♫ Even turning away my head when your face is there, you are a torment. ♫

Yes?

In front of my house?

Right now is a bit..

I'll wait until you come out.

♫ Even saying anything would be nice for me. ♫

♫ If my breathing meets yours, my tears would fall. ♫

♫I don't know why it's you so that I am here.♫

♫ Can you feel me? Can you feel me?♫

♫Over and over it's you. It's a torment in which I silence myself.♫

That you applied for a position at the Research Center...

Is that true?

Is that how you heard it?

That I applied for it?

It's not, right?

Is it Chief Jang?

I applied for it.

Since I applied for it,

please don't say or do anything.

But, it isn't the truth.

It's true.

I know it isn't.

Whether it's true or not,

I'll resolve it.

Please go rest.

I'm begging you.

Please.

I'll do it with my own effort.

If I can't, I'll just go for a year.

Please leave it to me.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Aigoo, Chief Han! Good morning!

Do you have something to say to me...?

Oh, I thought you had some point to discuss with me.

Work hard.

Good morning!

Hello! -Hello!

Hello!

Na Yeon, are you asleep?

I guess you're sleeping.

I'll come back later.

You weren't sleeping?

You look better today.

I have to go.

I have to go into the O.R.

I'll come back later.

Also...

It's nothing.

What is it?

I'll tell you later.

When you get healthy.

Have a good sleep.

Apply pressure here to stop the bleeding.

Yes.

It's good.

I'm hungry.

Again! Again!

Hey, Kim Sung Woo!

You don't bring lunch anymore.

Or make sandwiches.

Hey, that's once in awhile.

How can I keep up with your appetite?

Ah, forget it!

Let's go eat!

Wait..wait

Yes, Nurse Yeo Min Ji.

Excuse me?!

What's going on?

Patient Yoo Na Yeon's oxygen saturation level fell below 80%.

Intubation!

Yes.

Blade.

Tube.

How's the APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time)?

It's DIC. [Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy: blood clots are formed inside the blood vessels]

I think it's accompanied by septicemia.

Why is it like this?

She was okay till this morning. Why is she like this?

The blood pressure is dropping. [Sepsis: Severe inflammation of the whole body caused by microbial infection]

Bring a defibrillator. Quickly!

The blood pressure is dropping further!

Compression!

I'll do it!

No, Na Yeon. No.

I didn't have a chance to say "I'm sorry."

You can't.

You can't.

Dr. Kim. That's enough.

Pronounce her death.

Patient Yoo Na Yeon died at 15:03 on November 2nd.

A Top Team patient died?

She was a patient who got hurt at a construction site. She seemed to recover well,

but died suddenly.

I believe the cause is sepsis.

Who was the operating surgeon?

It was a combined injury, so Dr. Park Tae Shin took charge of the general surgery,

and Dr. Jeong Hoon Min took the head part.

As for the thoracic part, Professor Koo Min Hwan in our department was inevitably in charge.

There couldn't have been any signs of a medical malpractice, right?

Well, I checked the surgery footage again,

and I didn't find anything suspicious in the neurosurgery and thoracic part.

If I were to point out a problem,

I think there was something questionable that might have been going on in the general surgery.

He performed an excision on the liver during the surgery.

I do wonder if the biliary tract might have been damanged then.

Dr. Park Tae Shin was in charge of the general surgery, you said?

Yes.

Did you find out anything about Dr. Park Tae Shin?

Yes, I have a colleague whom I befriended during my study in the U.S., who's now in the Mason Medical Center,

so I'm looking into it now.

Don't agonize over it too much.

Na Yeon doesn't even have a family,

so she must have been happy that you sent her off.

He's right. The one Na Yeon missed as such...

She at least got to meet that person before she left.

What's the use?

She's no longer in this world.

I guess I wasn't good enough.

I thought she would recover well after doing the surgery successfully.

Dr. Park. You're always like that.

You're full of confidence as if you're the best doctor in the world, and

as if you can save everyone in this world.

Sung Woo.

You remember when I said I saw bile smudged during the dressing, right?

Yes.

There was a chance that the leakage of bile caused the infection.

But you kept saying it's fine.

Well, you probably didn't think much of it since the words came from a resident.

Dr. Kim Sung Woo. As for that, I can definitely guarantee--

You can still guarantee things?

A person's dead,

and she may have died because of you, and

you can still say those things as if nothing happened?

Why are you acting like this, Kim Sung Woo?

I'm sorry.

I should've taken your words more seriously, and checked it one more time.

That way I wouldn't have been left with any regret.

I guess I did wrong.

What's the use of saying that now?

Na Yeon is dead.

She died!

What do you think you're doing, Kim Sung Woo?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yes, Professor.

Yes, we're about to take off.

Pardon?

Doctor.

There's going to be a conference this afternoon.

To analyze the cause of Patient Yoo Na Yeon's death.

Alright, I got it.

Yes, but I have to go to a meeting now.

I'll call you back later.

Yes, alright.

What is it when I'm busy...

You have a call.

Hello? Oh, Terry! Huh..

Vice President!

I just received important information from the Mason Medical Center in the U.S.

About Dr. Park Tae Shin.

Then we'll now start the meeting to analyze the cause of Patient Yoo Na Yeon's death.

Please brief us on the patient.

Yes.

Patient's name is Yoo Na Yeon, she is 27 years old.

She was admitted due to multiple trauma after being stabbed by rebar at a construction site.

The patient had an extradural hemorrhage, diaphragm rupture,

and an injury of the inferior vena cava, so we performed an emergency surgery,

and moved her to the ICU.

She regained her consciousness and maintained a stable state.

We were waiting for her to recover after administering a culture test and dressing,

but the patient's condition worsened rapidly.

Including the injection of Atropine and a CPR,

we treated her in the ICU, but...

On November 2nd, she passed away from septicemia (blood poisoning).

Is there any possibility that the patient may have been infected during the surgery?

No, there isn't.

The wound got dirty because of the rebar and the dirt, but we cleaned it for a long period of time.

Then that means the surgery went well, but from how I see it,

the bile duct might have gotten damaged during the surgery.

We had no choice but to resect the liver due to the rupture of the inferior vena cava.

It was difficult to secure a good view, so we couldn't check the bile duct well, but...

If that's the case,

then shouldn't you have kept a closser eye on her after the surgery?

If the bile leaks, it could cause a peritonitis or a sepsis.

You know it well, don't you?

May I also ask you one question?

Yes.

According to the record here, the drainage has the color of the bile.

Who recorded this?

It was me.

Is this record correct?

Yes, it is correct.

From how I saw it, it seemed like it was bile,

so I told Dr. Park Tae Shin.

You told him, but?

I told him that it would be fine.

I determined it to be a colon injury, so we treated her with antibiotics.

There was no other problem in the operating room, either.

I don't know.

I think that's your own personal opinion.

But from how I see it, during the hepatectomy surgery,

it looks like the bile duct was damaged.

And that's something that you couldn't realize and find.

That isn't true.

I'm certain that the bile duct wasn't damaged during the surgery.

Are you really certain?

Then this is something else, but...

I received some information about you from the Mason Hospital that you used to work for in America.

Dr. Park Tae Shin, on July 12, 2010...

While you were performing a surgery on a Malignant Mesothelioma patient at Mason Hospital in America,

you lost the patient, is that correct?

Malignant mesothelioma: malignant tumor that forms on the membranes surrounding heart, lung and the abdomen.

Have you even researched my background like that?

We were just curious about what type of person you are, Dr. Park.

If you look here,

it says that the patient passed away due to the mistake that you made during the surgery.

That is different from the truth.

I didn't make a mistake during that surgery.

Is that so?

Then why is it recorded here?

There was a problem which is difficult to discuss here.

There was an issue with the Advising Professor at the time,

but I will not reveal it here.

Whatever the case,

there are records that say you performed the surgery because of your excessive demands.

Did you just trust your abilities in America and do these reckless things, too?

That isn't the case!

At the time, the condition of the patient who suffered from the malignant mesothelioma was critical, so

the person needed to have the surgery.

Was it not simply your own thought?

How many surgeons were there who agreed to that surgery?

Isn't that case irrelevant to the case we have right now?

Let's stop talking about the past patient now.

Chief Jang.

Yes.

Well...

The investigative team who analyzed Dr. Park's surgery came up with this conclusion.

During the surgery, while resecting the liver there was damage to the bile duct,

and because you were unable to check it yourself,

ultimately, there was no option for the patient but to pass away from septicemia.

Chief. We can't trust the investigation team's one-sided analysis.

I think it'll be okay for you to hear everyone's opinion first and then making a decision.

I believe that it's not too late for that.

Oh, Professor Seo, are you certain that Dr. Park Tae Shin didn't make any mistake?

Please give our team an opportunity to provide evidence.

Alright, we will give a chance to the Top Team as well.

However, our hospital's investigative team

has finalized the conclusion that Dr. Park Tae Shin made a mistake during the surgery,

so we're going to have to make a decision based on that.

As for this matter,

considering that we can't conclude it as a definite medical malpractice,

for now, we are planning to give you, Dr. Park,

some time for you to reflect on what you've done.

We are giving Dr. Park Tae Shin one month suspension.

We will end the meeting with this.

Doctor.

Must you do it this way?

I only did what I needed to do as the one responsible for the hospital.

In this way,

are you planning to break my arms and legs one by one?

By saying one by one, that means you're expecting more in the future, right?

Vice President.

That's why I told you earlier,

that if you let go of my hand, you would end up regretting it.

Preview

But I don't want to have Professor Seo taken away from our hospital yet.

In place of that, will you take charge of a different patient?

Professor Seo, your political clout is pretty awesome to make the Vice President move,

Will we be able to reveal that it isn't Dr. Park's fault?

We'll try giving Dr. Park a call.

He isn't picking up again?

It seemed as though something came to mind when you saw the Vice President.

I really must have been a complicated person.

Once my memory comes back, I think I'll miss this moment.

What's the problem?

What?

He was going to the bathroom, but fainted suddenly.
