[Love Is Panacea] [Episode 5]

[The show is the Major Project for Supporting Literature and Art]

[in Sichuan Province in 2022]

[Based on the novel "Healer" by Ningmeng Yuyan]

Hurry, something's happening.

General Kouyate is here!

He's got a team of armed soldiers.

What's the point? Just two cases of alcohol?

Let's talk to the General.

General!

I lost the alcohol. I'll pay for it.

Please don't cause trouble in the hospital.

What are you doing?

I'll take the responsibility for my fault.

Little girl,

you've picked a good place

to hide.

General.

You can speak Chinese?

The General attended military school in Shijiazhuang before.

He even knows the local dialect.

You bad girl!

Do you know the consequences of selling me fake alcohol?

Fake alcohol?

That's impossible.

I never sell fake alcohol.

Maybe you switched the alcohol yourself

and purposely claimed it was fake.

As an honorable General,

is it necessary for me to frame you?

You arrogant girl,

let's settle our account later.

I'm not here for you

but for him.

Wait, General,

you already had the examination done.

No tumors, no bleeding spots.

How can you prove that you're sick?

My instincts are never wrong.

It's up to him to prove it.

General,

why are you so convinced that you're sick?

In the past,

standing here,

I could shoot you in the head

while you were standing downstairs.

But now I can't.

It might be due to your vision decline

or simply because you're getting old.

In any case, you should consult your attending doctor.

[Eliot]

Eliot?

I'm not afraid of death.

What I fear is dying

without knowing who my enemies are.

Eliot has got no guts.

What about you?

If you don't help me

figure out what's wrong with my brain,

I will kill her.

Selling fake alcohol is a serious crime in Lacaya,

and now I suspect

that it's her fake alcohol causing my headaches.

I didn't sell fake alcohol.

Put your gun down.

I can perform surgery for you,

but can you trust me

with your life?

I'm not afraid of bullets.

Not to mention a scalpel.

Of course,

if you dare

to make any move,

don't expect to leave the operating table alive.

Fine.

I'll perform the surgery for you in a month.

I will

definitely find your enemy.

Good. I got the right guy.

You're a good doctor.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Why did you agree with him?

The hospital has already examined him,

and the medical records clearly state

that there's nothing wrong with him.

Or

did you agree to him

just to dispel his suspicions?

It's not because the general threatened

that if you don't do it,

he's going to kill me, right?

You can't be that foolish, right?

I can buy a ticket and leave the country or go to another country,

and then he can do nothing to me.

Dr. Gu.

What will you do

if, after the surgery,

you still can't find anything?

It will be considered

a major medical accident,

and you might not even work as a doctor anymore.

You can't take such a risk.

Su Wei'an.

You're really worried about me, huh?

Absolutely not.

I...

I'm just worried about getting involved in trouble.

If the surgery fails,

I won't be able to get away as an interpreter.

Wait. Why do you

have to do this surgery?

Because someone will die if I don't do it.

Do you know what's wrong with the General?

I mean,

I'll die if I don't do it.

Do you think

we would have been able to leave this room

if I hadn't agreed

to perform the surgery for him?

Either way.

Why don't you buy a ticket back to China?

I'll help you stall for time.

The General can't go back to China.

Su Wei'an.

You don't trust me?

I trust science.

The CT scan

and MRI

have both confirmed that there's nothing wrong.

General Kouyate is not sick!

You are...

Eliot.

General Kouyate's attending doctor.

Eliot.

You know Chinese?

My grandmother is from Beijing.

I learned a little from her.

I've heard about you.

Dr. Gu Yunzheng from Huaren Hospital.

You don't want the record of zero-table fatality rate?

Zero table fatality rate.

What a proud record!

It shows that Dr. Gu is still too young

and has performed too few surgeries.

Newcomers are always eager to prove themselves.

I can understand that, Dr. Gu.

But remember, patients are not just tools

for doctors to gain fame and fortune.

You're talking nonsense!

In China, Dr. Gu's

weekly number of outpatient visits and surgeries

is dozens of times more than your French doctors'.

In terms of clinical experience,

you're not necessarily better than him.

Is that so?

How does a patient like you know about clinical experience?

General Kouyate has always been my patient.

The diagnosis was the result of a remote consultation

with a French team of experts.

May I ask,

under the diagnosis result of no mass found,

why does Dr. Gu insist on performing this surgery?

Is it a provocation

against the French National Hospital?

Dr. Eliot.

Your hospital

is not that important to me.

I just want to provide

the best medical treatment for this patient.

And now,

I'm the patient's attending doctor.

If you insist on performing the surgery,

I'll invite experts from the Lacaya Health Commission

to supervise the whole process.

Dr. Gu, I'm warning you:

if it's proven after the surgery

that you've performed a fake surgery,

I'll sue you

until you never get a chance to pick up a scalpel anymore.

Miss Aggressive.

I hope you won't regret it.

Damn poker face.

He's arrogant with his nose in the air.

Stop looking.

He's gone.

He's so handsome.

Handsome as a Roman statue.

What's the use of being handsome?

The patient has switched to our boss.

Do you know him?

He is General Kouyate's attending doctor.

I've asked around.

He's the head of the Neurosurgery Department at the French National Hospital

and also a professor of neurosurgery at the University of Paris VI.

He can be considered an authority in neurosurgery.

Authority?

So, who is better, him or Dr. Gu?

Well, that's hard to say.

The University of Paris VI

is the largest scientific and medical institution in France

and one of the top five research universities in the world.

Since this authority said that General Kouyate is not sick.

Why does he insist on finding the problem?

I also hope the boss finds a reason to say no.

Those men are armed and dangerous.

They're not to be trifled with.

What if the treatment fails?

Bullets don't discriminate.

Then what should we do?

Has Dr. Gu changed his mind?

[Doctor's Office]

What are you doing?

Join the fight if my objections are overruled.

Search for references

to guard

the zero mortality on the operating table for our boss.

Zero mortality on the operating table?

Is it a competition and

impressive?

Maybe it's a competition with oneself.

Which doctor

wouldn't want a zero mortality on their operating table?

What about you?

Me?

I don't have a record.

Help me find it.

I'm running out of time.

I have to finish reading all of this tonight.

This is...

So much.

How long will it take for both of us to finish?

Maybe an all-nighter

would be enough for the two of us.

An all-nighter?

No way!

Staying up all night will give me acne.

Fine.

Let's just do it.

Tell me.

What am I going to do?

Can you read

the surgical records?

What should I focus on?

Well...

Never mind.

Can you understand

the shadows and masses in this CT scan image?

Am I useless?

Of course not.

You're very helpful to me.

Help me

sort these

abstracts of the papers.

I'll tell you how to do it.

Take this one for example.

Put it together with others

that are the same,

and put them over here,

and then this one...

[Medical Records Report, Name: Kouyate]

[Du Yongsong]

What's up?

Why did you agree to perform surgery on a patient

without knowing the lesion?

You got it?

You can't perform this surgery.

[Jinhai City]

I've sent a letter to Friendship Hospital.

They'll talk to the patient about canceling the surgery.

In what capacity are you ordering me?

The director?

Or my father?

No matter whatever capacity I am,

I'm doing this for your own good.

That patient is a local dignitary.

What if something goes wrong during your surgery?

Huh?

Do you want to end up like your mother?

You don't deserve to talk about her.

I'll tell you again.

Listen to me carefully.

She abandoned us first.

You abandoned her first.

Every day, we encounter

various diseases,

and as a doctor,

the most painful thing is to feel helpless

in the face of these diseases.

So, I hope all of you here, my fellow students,

never get used to this kind of pain

and never give up easily.

Thank you.

Okay.

That's it for this class, dismissed.

Wei'an.

Su Wei'an.

What's wrong?

Do you like Mr. Gu?

No.

Don't joke about it.

No?

You're acting so smitten.

No wonder you kept asking questions in class today.

Were you trying to get Mr. Gu's attention?

No.

When did you start liking him?

The time he helped you out during the final exam when you were late,

you've been in love with him since then, right?

I don't like him.

I wanted to be him.

General.

I advise you to think twice.

You can't joke with your life.

General!

Miss, you can't go in.

[Guizhou Moutai] General.

Two cases of Moutai.

Double compensation.

Is that enough?

I can add more if it's not.

This taste is spot on.

Now, tell me,

why you're here

to visit me?

General,

please give up the surgery.

Is Gu Yunzheng scared?

So he sent a woman to beg for mercy?

No, he has no idea I'm here.

General, there are many possibilities for your abnormal condition.

Surgery may not be necessary.

General,

Miss Su is right.

I will accompany you to the Paris Main Hospital next month.

They have the most advanced equipment in the world.

We can try again there.

Get away!

It's been a year.

I know

there's a time bomb inside me,

but you just can't find it.

So, should I just surrender?

What does Gu Yunzheng say?

He's not giving up, just like you.

He said that in the face of disease,

the doctor and the patient should be on the same team.

To Dr. Gu.

You Chinese also say

nothing ventured,

nothing gained.

General,

what does it take for you to give up the surgery?

Miss Su,

don't you want my surgery to be successful?

Eliminating the enemy

and living a long and healthy life.

I can drink more alcohol,

and you can earn more money.

I don't want money.

I just want Dr. Gu to be safe.

Are you the money-obsessed Miss Su?

Dr. Gu is one

of the best neurosurgeons in China.

Are you sure you want

to ruin a doctor's career for your stubbornness?

If he really is as excellent as you claim,

why do you think he will lose?

Because you're not really sick.

Do you know that your condition

is called hypochondria in psychology?

Miss Su.

You should seek psychological help,

but not Dr. Gu.

How dare you?

Get her out of here.

General.

Let go of me.

General.

She's drunk.

She didn't mean to offend you.

Miss Su, please stop talking.

I'll take you home.

General!

Tell Dr. Gu to take this crazy woman back.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

Come to the General's residence.

And take the crazy woman away.

She's drunk.

Alright, I got it.

That idiot.

That Dr. Gu,

who is he to you?

He...

he is my...

Boyfriend?

No.

He's over there,

and I'm here.

He is my teacher,

the person I admire the most,

and the one I used to want to be.

Why did you say "used to"?

I...

I didn't have such good luck.

The way you are now

reminds me of my mentor.

She often sighed like this

and complained to God.

She loved playing dice in her lab.

Did your mentor

also have trouble with her experiments?

Because she always chose

the less traveled path.

Though she often failed,

Dr. Marta was still the most amazing doctor

I've ever known.

Dr. Marta?

The one

who first attempted cell transplantation

to treat Huntington's disease in the world, right?

How would you know?

This was her experiment on a rare disease over 20 years ago.

You probably weren't even born yet.

Su Wei'an.

Thank you.

Dr. Eliot.

It's getting late.

We should go back to the hospital. Bye.

Dr. Gu.

Dr. Gu.

Why are you so determined to perform this surgery?

Because, as a doctor,

we should never ignore any signal

coming from the patient's body.

[Friendship Hospital]

Let's drink.

Either you or I

must get drunk.

Enough!

Why did you

go to the General's house to drink tonight?

It's all because of you, causing trouble

and giving me no peace of mind.

Who is causing trouble here?

It's midnight,

and I had to go to the General's house to pick you up.

Eliot.

Please help me plead with the General.

Su Wei'an.

Can you please stay away from Eliot?

Why? He's a good person.

Because you're my interpreter,

not Eliot's.

Tonight, just rest here

and clear your head.

Don't leave.

(These features)

(are so)

(ordinary.)

Fang Mingfan.

What are you trying to do?

I didn't expect you to be like this.

What am I like?

Your face,

wipe it off.

Oh no!

I didn't remove my makeup all night. This is a disaster.

Even a hundred face masks won't make up for it.

Paper.

Fang Mingfan, I'm warning you,

don't tell anyone.

Tell anyone what?

Don't tell anyone that my makeup is ruined,

as well as

that I spent the night at your place.

Who am I going to tell?

Well...

You can't tell anyone.

Did you hear me?

If you tell anyone,

I won't spare you.

Okay.

Stop laughing.

Jiang.

You're pretty,

even with your ruined makeup.

So early?

Why are you wearing yesterday's clothes?

Aren't you, too?

I woke up early in the morning

and went for a workout.

I...

I went to make some money,

talking business with a big client.

You've been drinking.

Who were you drinking with?

[Friendship Hospital]

Have you found the direction for the surgery?

Are you sober?

No more headaches?

Then let's go

for breakfast.

You still have the mood for breakfast?

You've drunk heavily,

why can't I eat?

I...

I know you did it for me.

You didn't want my reputation to be stained.

But Su Wei'an,

let me ask you something.

Why do you think

I gave General Kouyate

the surgery?

How do I know?

Is it because the General put a gun to you

or because you wanted to compete

with Eliot?

Su Wei'an,

I'm a doctor.

I have only one reason to give the surgery.

The patient has surgical indications

and needs the surgery.

Why can't you believe me?

I believe you.

But I went through all the medical cases

with unclear images,

and none of them is similar to the General's case.

So, you gave up?

Did Huaren Medical University only teach you

how you could give up?

What?

Silly girl, indeed.

No wonder you're an undergrad.

I'm not an undergrad.

I have a bachelor's degree.

Bachelor's degree?

In college classes,

Mr. Gu taught you something.

But you forgot it all, I guess.

I really don't know

how you got your bachelor's degree.

Everyone,

today,

we're going to learn the diagnostic thinking of brain tumors

combined with practice.

It's very clear

that we can't see obvious lesions

from the patient's CT.

Then, let's check the MRI.

We can clearly see some lesions

on the patient's brainstem, huh?

Mr. Gu,

if lesions still can't be seen from MRI,

what should the doctor do?

He should do a clinical follow-up,

judge, by experience, the growth of the disease,

and confirm the intervals of follow-ups.

Then what must a doctor trust,

clinical experience, or precision instrument?

When a doctor cures diseases,

guidance is his criterion,

knowledge is his base,

and experience is his tool.

With rigorous examination results,

the doctor can figure out

detailed lesions quickly and precisely

without delay or misdiagnosis.

So, I want you guys to keep it in mind.

Only by using the instruments

and developing your own clinical thinking

can you be really responsible for patients.

You remember me.

So, you kept asking questions in class

just to make me remember you?

Of course not.

It's a question you asked,

but you forgot the answer.

Use the instruments.

But...

Why are you sure abnormalities can be seen in a month?

What's the patient's walking problem?

He swaggered,

swayed,

and shuffled.

What diseases do such symptoms indicate?

A drunkard look,

leg weakness,

and cerebellar ataxia.

What's his speaking problem?

He lisped

and stuttered.

Dysarthria.

What did he complain about?

When you were downstairs,

I could shoot your head off.

But now, I can't.

His skill decreased.

Limb flexibility decreased.

So?

So, the lesion may be in...

In his brainstem.

Not too bad.

You haven't totally forgotten it.

The imaging technology is so advanced now.

How come we can't see a lesion?

Maybe it's in an odd position.

Or maybe it's the initial phase.

But anyway,

doctors like us

can't neglect every tiny little signal

from a patient's body.

[Friendship Hospital]

[A month later] General,

MRI indicates some abnormalities

in your brainstem.

Next,

count on Dr. Gu.

Please trust him.

Fight it off?

What are you guys doing here?

On behalf of the local Health Commission,

I'll supervise throughout the surgery.

MRI indicates

some abnormalities in the brainstem.

Next,

Chinese doctors will present outstanding medical skills.

Su.

Gu Yunzheng is so young.

How dare he give a brainstem surgery?

You're wrong.

We should trust Dr. Gu.

[Friendship Hospital]

General!

What are you doing?

I'll go get in there. I'll be wherever the General is.

He said he stayed wherever General was.

Let him in.

The doctor said you could get in.

But you have to obey

the aseptic rule.

Come with me.

Boss,

wherever you go, I'll go.

I'll even die with you.

No one will die unless your hands shake.

You...

Die with you?

Then my life would be tragic.

It's been a long time.

Can he succeed?

I told you.

He can't do a brainstem surgery.

Dr. Gu

insisted on risking the General's life.

Before irreversible damage is done,

it's not too late to close his skull.

The surgery isn't over.

Don't jump to conclusions.

The blood pressure is dropping.

The blood pressure is dropping.

Dr. Gu,

put down your scalpel immediately.

Or I'll hold you responsible

on behalf of the Health Commission.

Leave everything to Dr. Eliot.

Get out of the way. Or I'll kill you.

Get out now!

You're not approaching Dr. Gu

unless I'm dead.

No one can stop Dr. Gu in his surgery.

Nobody shall disturb a surgeon.

Miss Su,

you're a mere interpreter.

You're unqualified to comment on the surgery.

It's not too late to stop it now.

I graduated in clinical medicine

from Huaren Medical University.

I have a physician's certificate.

I answer for whatever I say.

If anything happens to General,

none of your guys can live.

The lesion is in his medulla.

The lesion is in his medulla.

This is unbelievable.

Did you guys catch that?

I think you should consider

how to apologize to Dr. Gu later.

Put down the values.

Why isn't General waking up?

The surgery has been over for so long.

You mustn't go!

You quack!

General wouldn't wake up so soon.

But the surgery was very successful.

Dr. Gu did a perfect job.

The lesion was perfectly removed, too.

I underestimated him.

You were wrong?

Dr. Eliot.

Just now,

you promised.

As you said,

Dr. Gu is an excellent doctor.

I'll apologize to him

for all that I did.

Dr. Gu,

I'm sorry.

You were just worried about General.

When we have the biopsy result,

we'll keep you informed.

Thanks.

What shall I do?

What now?

In the operating room,

you risked your life to protect me again.

Tell me.

When I owe a girl my life twice,

how shall I repay her?

I didn't. Don't overthink it.

You defended me in front of a gun.

I have to overthink it.

Just now,

you told the representative of the Health Commission

that I was your idol

and you would die for me.

(Idol?)

I understood that.

And I was very moved.

When did I say something like that?

Don't pretend you understand.

You didn't?

Maybe I heard what your heart said.

Su Wei'an.

Never

joke with your life again.

You can't risk your own life.

Not even for me.

When you're alive,

you can save more people.

It's worth it to exchange my life for yours.

I told you.

Never say this again.

Nobody's life

can be more valuable than someone else's.

Wait a minute.

What? Know you were wrong?

Didn't you just say

you didn't know how to repay me?

Give me a pay rise.

Su Wei'an!

Money speaks louder than death, huh?

Do you know that man

didn't even thumb off the safety catch?
