[Episode 1]

[Rescue Without Borders]

[Rescue Without Borders: We Are One]

-What's the situation? -Twenty-eight years old.

Nine months pregnant. A massive prenatal hemorrhage.

Her heart rate has obvious signs of speeding up.

Hurry! Prepare for surgery!

[Rescue Without Borders]

-Faster! Make some room! Move -Come on!

Come on!

Move! Hurry! Come on!

Hurry up!

Use tape.

Look at the situation, it has to be a rupture of the uterus.

Do you know what dosage of Oxytocin the local hospital has given her?

30 doses.

They are not delivering the child, they are harming the patient.

Prepare for surgery.

[Outpatient Department]

Doctor Bai, why are you still here? We need to start the meeting.

Without patience, I won't be able to finish drinking a cup of delicious handground coffee.

Isn't it at 1:30? It's still not 1:30.

But the Hospital Directors are here.

Do you know the criteria for becoming a good doctor?

First, punctual.

Second, patient.

Then don't be late.

The surgery is done, prepare for stitching.

Mrs. Xiao, She's bleeding.

Two units of blood supplement.

The patient's blood pressure is unstable, we have already given her six thousand units.

If we give her more, we will have replaced all of the blood in her body and it won't have any effect.

Let's remove the uterus.

Shirley!

Keep pumping.

Found it. Arterial damage here.

Prepare for stitching.

That Bai Shu, what is up to now?

Everyone quiet down.

Doctor Bai Shu is Mr. Chen Chuan Shu's attending physician.

If he doesn't come, what are we going to talk about?

If he never comes, we will continue to wait for him.

Who says I'm not coming?

1:30. I'm on time.

Let's start.

Alright, Doctor Bai is here, so let's start the meeting.

Today's main topic of discussion is one of our patients in the cardiac surgery department.

Mr. Chen Chuan Shu's surgical plan.

Mr. Chen has a very rare primary malignant cardiac tumor.

Since he entered the hospital, we have providing him with conservative treatment.

Mr. Chen is one of China's most outstanding experts in linguistics.

He has contributed greatly to the development and research of China's linguistics field.

For such an accomplished expert

we need to be very cautious with his surgical plan.

We can't have any errors.

Okay.

Who wants to speak?

I'll speak first.

Mr. Chen is eighty-three years old

all of his bodily functions are already worsening

especially his cardiac functions.

If we go through with the surgery and remove the tumor

we will need to used extracorporeal circulation.

It is very likely that his body will never make it off the operating table

because it can't handle the operation.

So, to elderly people, continuing conservative treatment is the best choice.

Of course, from our perspective here at the hospital

Mr. Chen has been very influential in our country as an expert professor.

If we choose to take the risk of surgery and it leads to an accident

it will definitely bring a lot of trouble

for our whole hospital's medical work.

Therefore I recommend continuing conservative treatment.

It sounds like you all have the same opinion.

Doctor Bai, you are Mr. Chen's attending physician.

Tell us your opinion.

I believe that an excellent doctor only needs to consider one thing.

Curing the sick and saving them.

I want to ask everyone

how do you cure the sick and save them?

Do you only consider the risk that you take on yourself

and neglect the hopes of the patient? Is that how you act as a doctor?

Pretty words. Who wouldn't want to say them?

We have considered the realistic risks

but Mr. Chen's tumor situation is too complicated.

As soon as a surgery's risk becomes too great, I don't approve of it.

Every surgery has a risk, no matter how great or small.

Then based on what you just said, if a surgery has a big risk, we should just surrender.

You said it too simply. If even just a small accident happens, an elderly person's life is at risk.

If you don't face risks, elderly people's lives will be at risk also.

Every surgery I have done has never gone wrong.

It's never happened before, it will never happen in the future.

Director, I am very confident

I can complete this surgery perfectly, and bring Mr. Chen's life a miracle.

This world has nothing that is 100%.

In case you haven't forgotten, Mr. Chen is strongly against surgery.

He himself wants to continue with conservative treatment.

So shouldn't we respect the opinion of the patient?

The patient's opinion? Are you kidding me?

As a doctor, the only thing we need to consider is the patient's condition.

Doctors cure patients.

If you always consider the opinion of the patient, then where is our professionalism as a doctor?

Of course our medical professionalism is important

but we also need to supplement that with respecting the wishes of the patient.

This is the criteria we need to uphold.

This way we can protect the patient, their family members

the hospital and the doctors.

-Director... -Our decision is to continue with conservative treatment.

You all should have takeaways from

our discussion at today's meeting

In regard to Mr. Chen's treatment plan

my suggestion is that we should respect the patient's opinion

which is conservative treatment.

-Director. -This marks the end of the meeting.

-Director. -You can stay.

Taking a risk? He just wants to show himself off.

Did you see how conceited he was? It was as if no one was as important as him.

I want to know if he truly is Director Jiang's disciple. If sooner or later

he will be our cardiac director.

-Teacher -Call me Director.

Director, Mr. Chen's situation is very dangerous.

-As soon as the tumor breaks through the heart, at any time her could... -It's not like nobody knows that.

But the risk of surgery is too great.

But you know the extent of my abilities.

I can definitely take the tumor our safely

-and help Mr. Chen recovery his health. -Doctors are not gods.

No one can sustain a success rate of 100% forever.

According to you, even if the surgery fails

it will only be one setback in your career as a doctor.

But to the patient and their family

it will be a final farewell.

Bai Shu, you need to learn how to treat illness

from the perspective of the patient and their family.

-But I am confident... -We cure disease to save people.

Curing disease is not hard, what's hard is saving people.

A doctor is not a repairman. What we face is not lifeless tables and chairs

but living people with blood, flesh

thoughts and feelings.

While we are saving people, we can't only pay attention to the disease.

We also have to respect the patient's own opinion.

Do you understand?

I haven't convinced you, is that correct?

While I was in school, you never taught me this.

Back then you told me

that as doctors, we need to fight disease

at all costs. We need to save the patient's life.

I will still tell you that now.

In my heart, a true doctor should be as flawless as a robot

be constantly striving to achieve the perfection of a robot, and be calm and rational.

No matter what, don't be moved by factors outside of the disease.

Teacher, I will choose to follow your advice from before

when I'm at work.

Xue Li, you shouldn't have taken any risks today.

This is not Lausanne University's affiliated hospital. We don't have the support of other departments.

-Even if an embolism can't be done, removal of the uterus is the safest option. -I know.

But you still chose the risky option in order to preserve her uterus.

Do you remember when we first got here, the first postpartum woman that we treated?

I remember it clearly.

In her hand she was holding an talisman full of scriptures.

Before she went under anesthesia, she was repeatedly emphasizing

that anyone who steals her uterus will be cursed, and will never find happiness in their life.

Are afraid of her curse?

I just always think about why every time in the face of life and the uterus

they prefer to choose saving their uterus over saving their lives.

Actually I can understand it.

Here, women's value comes from having children.

Losing one's uterus means becoming useless to one's family.

It also means living a life of shame among one's clan.

So I have to take risks.

As a doctor, what you face is not only injuries and disease

you face the people behind the injury and disease.

Only saving one's life is useless.

If there was no war, this would definitely be a fertile and tranquil valley.

But we can't change war and poverty.

We don't even have a way to understand the local postpartum women.

Their reckless persistence towards giving birth.

They throw away their own lives in order to birth children.

But we are these wounded people and postpartum mothers' only hope.

They need us.

What about you? Do you not need someone to rely on?

I do need that.

You are who I rely on.

Once we finish this task

let's go back to our own country. I will bring you back to Shanghai for a break.

Back to your hometown?

Right. Haven't you never been there before?

Now that I think about it, I haven't ben there in a really long time.

When I was young, out home was in a place called Yan Xiang.

Right, it was called Yan Xiang.

Walking out of that alley, you would see a small river.

In our small courtyard, we have a loofah plant trellis,

a small fish pond, and I also have a small pet dog.

He is also called Ron.

I am Ron No. 1. He is Ron No. 2.

I have always been thinking,

maybe one day,

I will return with the person I love to that small courtyard,

and live a peaceful life.

What's wrong?

I thought...

you were proposing.

You're not willing?

I am not willing.

You don't even have a ring, it is not the least bit official.

[Nurses' Station]

Doctor Bai! Something is happening at Bed 26!

- Grandpa? - Chuan Shu, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

- What's wrong? - The doctor's here.

Excuse me, Grandmother. (TN: Polite way to address an elderly woman)

Grandfather? Grandfather! (TN: Polite way to address an elderly man)

There is no pulse. His chest isn't rising or falling.

The patient is in ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib). Patient's family, please step aside.

- What's wrong with him? - Bring over the defibrillators.

Please step aside. Come, pull out the bed!

It isn't serious, right?

Prepare for CPR!

The defibrillators are ready.

200 joules.

Confirming 200 joules.

It's finished charging. Get away from the bed.

Okay, he is back. Get him an EKG.

You can bring the patient's family back in. Push the bed back.

Patient's family can come back in.

Doctor Bai, how is he?

It's okay, he is stable now.

- Thank you. - Really? Thank you.

You're welcome. This is our duty.

I would like to speak with you both.

It is regarding his condition.

Let us go over there to talk.

[Inpatient Department]

When he first arrived, this malignant tumor

had partially blocked the superior vena cava entrance.

This resulted in obstruction to his blood circulation.

In addition, this was accompanied by massive pericardial effusion.

Over the past few days, after going through our conservative treatment,

not only has he not improved, instead he has gotten worse.

If we continue like this, this tumor may break through to the heart at any time and cause bleeding.

When that time comes, it may result in massive accumulation of blood in the pericardial cavity.

When that happens, his heart will be squeezed.

In the end, he may die due to cardiac arrest.

You saw what happened just now. It is actually very dangerous.

So I recommend he has surgery immediately.

Is this height okay?

It is okay. I want to see you.

If you want to see me, then put your glasses on.

I can see you clearly now.

Husband, you scared me to death just now.

Do not worry.

There will not be any problems. Am I not fine now?

This time, you need to listen to the doctor, okay?

Okay, let's not talk about this.

Do not worry.

Close your eyes and rest a while.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning! - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

How did you sleep last night?

I slept fine, how about you?

I slept all right.

Here.

Why so romantic?

Where did you pick them from?

Shirley, marry me.

I bought this ring a long time ago.

I never had the guts to give it to you.

Over this past half year, we have both experienced war.

Time and time again, we have raced against death.

In my heart, it has become clearer and clearer

that I hope I can be by your side for the rest of my life.

Not only as a partner, but also as your unwavering other half.

No matter what happens in this life, I also hope you can be by side.

I can't be without you.

Will you marry me?

Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

Marry him!

Guard down!

Guard down! Where's the doctor?

I'm doctor. I'm doctor.

Okay, help help. He got shot.

He has been shot in his lower abdomen.

Operation room! Patient status?

Blood pressure is 100 over 60.

Heart rate is 130. Respiration rate is 20.

Sonogram first. Pay attention to his vital signs.

The sonogram is broken. It's still not fixed.

Blood pressure is dropping. 80 over 50.

Direct laparotomy. Suction.

The cord to the light is broken.

- Where's the backup cord? - Still not fixed.

I'll go grab it.

- What happened? - I'm getting tools.

No.

- Save him first! - I am saving him!

No. Go back!

- Stop! - If you want him to live you can't disrupt surgery.

If he dies, you die.

Understand?!

Go.

Help please!

Help!

Help! Please!

Go!

It sounds like it's close.

Focus on surgery.

How is the patient?

I am still looking for the site of bleeding.

- If movement of the shrapnel causes any more damage, then there will be a problem. - There isn't enough blood.

If we still can't find it, I'm afraid it'll be too late.

I found it.

It is a perforating wound in the inferior vena cava.

- How much blood do we have left? - We still have 1500cc left.

Doctor Xiao, what's wrong with Ran?

- What's wrong? - I'm fine.

I got unlucky. When I went to get supplies I got hit with a mine.

- Let me help you. - Don't come here!

You haven't finished the surgery yet.

I'm fine. I didn't hurt my back.

Continue the surgery. Check on me

when you finish.

Doctor Xiao, his blood pressure is still dropping!

You...

I'm really fine.

I am also a doctor.

I know my condition.

Don't worry.

Continue the surgery.

Okay. Then wait for me.

If you need anything, tell me immediately.

Okay.

Continue the surgery, I'm fine.

Keep pumping.

Ran. Ran.

Ran.

Ran.

Wake up.

- How did the surgery go? - Very successful.

Let me treat your wounds now. Get up.

- It's too late. - No it's not.

The shrapnel hit my liver.

I have lost too much blood.

We don't have any more blood.

There's still time. Get up, let me help you.

Shirley...

I'm afraid I won't get the chance...

to take you back to Yan Alley.

I-I'm sorry...

Ron?

There's time. Just wait for me.

Let me help you with the surgery.

Prepare for surgery.

There is a lot of blood in his abdominal cavity! I must save him!

- Shirley! - Don't stop me!

Move! I must save him!

Ran, he's gone.

I could've saved him.

I could've saved him.

I could've saved him.

Doctor Bai.

Sir, how do you feel today?

- Much better. - Much better, right?

Grandpa's appetite today is very good. He ate a lot.

What? He can't eat too much.

Sir, the blood vessels in your heart is not enough.

If you eat too much, it'll be hard to digest. That's why he should only eat half for each meal.

- Oh. - Do you understand? As long as you get the nutrience it'll be enough.

Grandpa, look, the doctor said you can't eat that much.

Chen Yan, go to the nurse's station to get your grandpa's medicine.

And then ask about how the medicines work.

Don't think it's a hassle, make sure you understand.

Okay. Grandpa, I'll be back.

Don't worry.

Sir, I heard Chen Yan say before

that you've written a specialized text about the evolution of language and culture in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

I did.

Are you interested?

Not me, I don't know much about that area.

I have a friend who really admires you.

He is also really passionate about linguistics.

So he told me to ask you, where can he buy that specialized text?

I am ashamed.

It still has not been published yet.

I also heard him say that you have been writing it for over a decade now.

I started planning when I was young.

But at that time, I had a heavy work load.

I also had a lot of school work.

I never had time to continue.

After I retired, I started writing.

I've wrote for six to eight years now.

Research on the evolution of language and culture in the Shang and Zhou dynasties...

is still a blank slate in our country.

I always thought that, before I died,

I could fill up that blank space.

But now that my body is like this,

I'm afraid it'll be a shame.

What a shame.

Your wish is still not complete in the end.

For you, and for our country,

it's a huge loss.

For me personally, it's nothing.

It has been worth living this long.

I just feel that

I could not leave those

young people with a passion for the evolution of the language culture

in the Shang and Zhou dynasties with something of use.

I feel

it's such a shame.

Grandma.

Sir,

the tumor on your heart

can be removed.

As long as the surgery is successful and you heal well

there's a lot of time later to finish.

To finish your wish.

You came here just to say this?

Yes.

Actually, I've considered surgery.

It's just that my family is worried.

We sought a lot of experts.

They all suggest a safer way of treatment.

Actually, dying is a natural part of human life.

I'm not scared of this.

I just feel

I don't want to leave before my wife.

Because I'm going to leave soon,

I'm afraid she won't take good care of herself.

Yes, I understand this point.

Surgery is a risk.

But if you don't the surgery, the tumor will continue to worsen.

Then you might...

Please believe in me. I have the skills and faith to be successful in this surgery.

Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai, my entire family has agreed for a safer treatment of my grandpa.

Please don't mention these things anymore.

Chen Yan.

Grandma Wu, Mr. Chen.

I feel like the best option right now is surgery.

I've already prepared a flawless surgery plan.

I also considered all the risks.

Doctor Bai, I know you're the most skilled young doctor at Tongshan Hospital.

You've also performed many heart surgeries.

However, based on my grandpa's current situation, surgery is a gamble.

Under this condition, we cannot risk this.

I haven't had any mistakes in my surgeries to this day.

My grandpa needs to rest right now. Please leave.

Chen Yan.

Don't worry, it's fine.

I've already said everything I needed to say.

I'll wait for your response.

Okay.

Sir, rest well.

If you need anything, let me know.

Doctor Bai.

If you keep trying to persuade my grandpa to do surgery,

I will ask the hospital to switch the lead doctor.

Did you get humiliated again?

Aren't you guys in Emergency too busy to even go to the toilet?

How do you have the spare time to wander around Cardiology?

I'm here to help him get familiar with the place. We just happen to see you get kicked out by the patient's family.

- Teacher— - Let's go eat lunch.

He's like that. Let's go.

You require quite a lot from new doctors. They have to accompany you 24 hours.

It's not like I can't be independent. I don't need him to accompany me.

Okay, go eat by yourself.

Sit here. Which school did you graduate from?

He has a PhD from a medical university. I don't know why students from medical universities can't even write up a medical history.

Nobody willing to take him. Madam Lu shoved him to me.

Let me introduce you. Cardiac surgeon, Doctor Bai. Amazing knife from Tong Shan.

He calls himself Star of the future.

- Hi Professor Bai. - Don't let Xu Yi Ran intimidates you.

You have higher academic qualification than him. When you get promoted to be the Associate Professor in two years, he will has to call you professor.

Can you eat properly?

I have to remind you. Just now, you misused a term.

I was asked to leave by the patient, not kicked out. Asked.

Is it regarding that linguistic expert's surgery?

Yes. If I don't take the risk, the old gentleman is just waiting to die.

Dean is right, you don't care about team works.

- What about...? - Team will me will be fine.

Bai Zhu, you don't have to pay attention to anyone else.

Can you be any louder? The entire cafeteria knows you like Bai Zhu.

That's good.

I need to let those single nurses and doctors know

that Bai Zhu is mine.

Everyone else can go chill somewhere else.

Don't worry. With his arrogant and snarky personality,

No one is going to fight with you. Keep him for yourself.

That's great. In this world, only I know Bai Zhu is good.

My situation is not bad either. Why did you fall for him and not me?

Because I don't like second-hand material.

Oh right, I heard you're insistent on performing surgery.

There are reasons why people are concerned about it.

Do you want to consider again?

I won't give up.

I also I believe Mr. Chen's family will understand it sooner or later.

Grandpa, it's cloudy outside so let's just relax in here.

If there was sunlight that would be great.

That's right.

When the weather is good, I'll take you outside to sunbathe.

I love the sunshine.

Doctor Bai, can I ask for some of your time?

Of course. No problem, please come in.

Okay.

Did you find me to...

I want to speak about my husband's surgery.

Grandpa, if you're tired, let's go back.

No, no. Let me stay some more.

Okay.

- Chen Yan. - Grandma.

Go back to work. Let me speak with your grandpa.

Okay. Then don't stay here for too long.

- Go back to your room soon. - Okay.

Grandpa, I'm going back to work.

How are you?

What's going on that you have to hide from him?

I found your manuscript underneath your pillow.

I now have free time to read it.

Husband, listen to the doctor.

Do the surgery.

No.

Also,

I don't want to leave you.

No, no, no. Don't say something like that.

You need to finish your book.

This has been your hardwork for 10 years.

It's just a book.

The surgery was so risky, not worth it.

I know you're worried about me.

Yes. I am worried about you.

Did you know?

If you don't do the surgery, you could have...

Don't worry. I have a big life.

I just spoke with Doctor Bai.

He said that he has faith in performing well.

We've lived forever now.

I understand how you feel.

You don't want to do surgery because

you're afraid that you won't make it past surgery, and I won't be able to live well by myself.

- Right? - Yes, yes, yes.

But did you know? We have an opportunity for treatment.

We're giving it up.

My heart hurts more.

No.
