Original subtitles

I'm sorry.

Did you find the reason...

why Yoo Bin died?

You came here because of that.

- What do you mean, Professor Han? - Dr. Choi.

Yoo Bin wasn't supposed to die.

What are you talking about after all these years?

Yoon Soo Yeon was supposed to die.

That day,

you chose Yoon Soo Yeon.

What are you talking about?

Save me.

Then I will tell you everything.

What are you talking about? Tell me.

Tell me right now!

Operate on me.

If you get surgery, you'll die. Tell me right now.

You'll just have to save me.

I'll tell you after surgery.

You expect me to believe you?

Why would I...

lie now?

Shut it!

If I die, you won't be able to find out for the rest of your life.

Don't try to trick me.

Do you think this will make me operate?

(Episode 9)

Dr. Yoon. You don't need to be a surgical first assistant anymore.

That's not why you came back.

It's Professor Choi's surgery.

So what?

He wasn't even happy to see you after four years.

You know Professor Choi doesn't say much.

Tell him you won't assist anymore after today.

Want me to tell him?

No. I'll join in on Professor Choi's surgeries.

Where is he?

(Operation Time: 10 minutes Anesthesia Time: 40 minutes)

He'll be down soon.

Send him back.

- Sorry? - We can't operate. Send him back.

There's no need to send me back.

Professor Choi will have no choice but to operate on me.

Do you know how I became the hospital director in Gangneung?

You did great today.

Professor Choi, have you eaten?

Yes, sir.

Why don't you go ahead?

Thank you.

I heard you told Soo Yeon to join you in the OR.

Yes.

Are you free tonight?

I have to see patients after my surgery.

Okay, of course, you should do that first.

Then please make some time for me next time.

I will.

Work hard.

Sir.

Never mind.

I want to work at the main branch.

I will help you with that.

I also want to find out...

what caused Yoo Bin to die.

It can't be.

No way. It can't be.

Gosh, my neck hurts.

How many hours did it take today?

It took an hour and a half.

How come I'm not getting faster?

It only took an hour and a half to do the pneumonectomy.

I'm grateful for that.

Some doctors take eight hours for a CABG.

You mean Chief Koo?

Last time, his surgery lasted until the next day.

I'm sure the patient was a hard case.

No, it wasn't. Even I could do it.

Seung Jae, you took it too far.

Professor Choi.

Professor Choi, you're in Room 18, right? The double valve replacement?

Yes.

- What's wrong with him? - No idea.

What's up with him?

How would I know? I don't know either.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Yoo Bin wasn't supposed to die.

Yoon Soo Yeon was supposed to die.

How far did you get?

We need to put in the cardioplegia solution.

Professor Choi, Dr. Yoon is really fast.

(Operating Time, Current Time)

Professor Choi, Dr. Yoon improved a lot.

Don't let her assist you. Give Dr. Yoon her solo surgeries.

Good job. I'll take it from here.

Okay.

This is a difficult patient,

but she did a good job with the cannulation.

Clamp.

(A surgical forceps)

ACC.

It's on.

Dr. Lee, put in the cardioplegia solution.

I'm putting it in now.

Tae Soo.

I need a minute.

Hey, Professor Choi told you to send him away.

But if his aorta ruptures, he'll be dead.

You can't operate on him since he has an advanced lung cancer.

What should we do?

Let's think about it after we take care of cardiac tamponade.

Woo Jin, I have the test results.

Okay. Let's circle back to this.

What are you talking about?

If you get surgery, you'll die.

Tell me right now.

Don't try to trick me.

Do you think this will make me operate?

I'm not sure if I should ask.

Did something happen with you and Professor Choi Seok Han?

Every relationship in life comes with a story.

There's a pool of blood in your pericardium.

I'll perform a pericardial tap.

It'll sting.

Why do you want surgery that badly?

I want to live.

I guess my answer wasn't entertaining enough.

What would you do if you were me?

I wouldn't get the surgery.

The cancer spread to parts that can't be operated on.

It got glued on the organs because of the radiation treatment.

Even if the surgery goes well, there wouldn't be much time left.

It's highly likely you'll die during surgery.

This is a hard surgery even for Professor Choi Seok Han.

Do you know Seok Han well?

Dr. Choi and I worked at the branch in Gangneung together.

I'm sure...

he can save me.

Of course, he will.

That day, you chose Yoon Soo Yeon.

Professor Choi.

Yes?

Professor Choi, what is it? You're not focused.

Professor Choi, are you all right?

Should I bring you something to drink?

Dr. Yoon, can you handle this surgery?

- Pardon? - Do this for me.

What's up with him? Did something happen?

He has never asked someone else to fill in for him.

You're right. What's gotten into him today?

He must be tired.

Let's continue, Dr. Yoon.

Okay.

I'll call Dr. Moon Seung Jae to scrub in.

I...

chose Yoon Soo Yeon?

Daddy.

If I die, you won't be able to find out for the rest of your life.

Professor Choi.

What? What is it?

Dr. Park, did you send him away?

The cause of Yoo Bin's death.

Do you know how many years I tried to find that out?

And you're telling me that you know the cause?

Just perform the surgery. And I'll tell you.

Is it Hospital Director Yoon Hyun Mok?

Do the surgery.

If I do, you'll die.

You must know how dangerous it is for you to get surgery now.

Tell me now. Then I'll perform the surgery a thousand times.

If I tell you now, you'll just let me die.

What on earth...

What on earth have you done?

You'll die anyway.

You have an advanced lung cancer. If your aorta ruptures, it's over.

I want to live longer even if it's for a day.

Just think of this as an old man's greed.

You want to live longer even if it's for day?

Then what about Yoo Bin?

She wasn't supposed to die!

Professor Choi.

You shouldn't do that.

Book an OR. This is an emergency surgery.

- You shouldn't. - Book it!

Professor Choi.

- You're really going to do it? - I must hear something from him.

If that's the reason for surgery, you shouldn't.

- Park Tae Soo. - Even you can't save him.

- Please reconsider. - Stay out of the OR.

This surgery...

won't save the patient. It'll kill him.

He won't die. Don't worry.

Dr. Choi.

Please save me.

Keep your promise when you wake up.

I will.

Take a deep breath. You'll go to sleep.

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E09 Heart Surgeons "Surgery for Answers" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I want to go in too.

You said he won't die.

I want to see how you do it.

We will begin...

the surgery.

Scalpel.

(Heart Surgeons)

Sir. The operating rooms are this way.

Yes. It's been so long, I forgot my way.

There's only one way to the operating rooms.

That's right.

I go every day, but I forget all the time.

- Chief Koo. - Yes?

What should we do about Soo Yeon?

I think she's ready to see her own patients.

- Well... - Of course, she should.

She saw her own patients in Cleveland, didn't she?

I'll promote her to assistant professor at the next round.

That's okay, right?

Of course. It's Dr. Yoon.

Thank you.

Dr. Koo Dong Joon has worked very hard all this time, too...

Let's go. I'll get you some scrubs.

Let's go.

Dr. Yoon has been operating nonstop since she returned.

What would we have done if she hadn't returned?

Dr. Koo Dong Joon and Dr. Park Tae Soo worked very hard,

making up for the lack of residents.

Now that we have Dr. Yoon, Dr. Park is leaving,

and Dr. Koo Dong Joon is holding up the fort...

all by himself.

Hold on.

Wasn't that Professor Choi's surgery?

Soo Yeon is leading the surgery.

You're right. Where did Professor Choi go?

Was there an emergency or something?

Here he is.

Please come this way.

(Patient: Han Sang Ok)

Should I call him out? You're here, after all.

No. It's an aorta dissection.

It's an urgent surgery. Let him be.

Let's go.

We can't disturb the surgery.

Yes, let's go. I have to insert a stent as well.

Sir.

You have an empty bed, right? I looked it up, and there were two.

We have patients coming from the OR.

Here it is.

What's this?

- It's taken. - That's not good.

When are they coming from the OR?

Lend me this bed for three hours.

It's not something you rent on an hourly basis.

What if you refuse to return it like last time?

What are we supposed to do?

I can just ask Dr. Park Tae Soo, right?

Dr. Yoon Soo Yeon claimed this bed.

She did?

(Prof. Lee Joong Do)

- Hello, Professor. - What happened with the ICU bed?

All the ICUs are completely full, so there are no beds.

Then where is this patient supposed to go?

You want to send a patient who had angiography and a stent inserted...

back to the ER?

I'll look into it again, and will call you right back.

Will that make a bed appear out of thin air?

You called me in for an angiography without securing a bed in the ICU?

How will you ever be in charge of patients when you're so careless?

Hello? Prof...

Who secures a bed in the ICU before doing an angiography?

Are you kidding me?

If you don't think you can do it, just don't.

You should've just let me do it! Don't you agree?

I wish I could lie here myself.

Seriously, can't I borrow this bed for just three hours?

You know how Professor Lee is.

Hello? Yes. I understand.

You seriously can't.

The patient is coming out now.

Goodbye.

It's not like I'm looking for a bed for myself.

Why don't you check the ICU in Neurology?

There's someone who hasn't been assigned a room yet,

so the person probably died.

Really? They should let me, right?

I'll have to go and beg there today.

- Thank you. - Sure.

(Restricted)

Good work, Professor.

- Hemostat. - Yes, doctor.

Good job, Dr. Yoon. You did great.

Thank you.

Professor. Dr. Yoon's good, right?

Do you know how different the rate at which her patients...

and Dr. Koo Dong Joon's patients stabilized...

was before she left for the US?

Dr. Dong Joon is in deep trouble now.

- Why? - Dr. Park's gone.

He can't ask Dr. Yoon.

Even when he was a resident, he was afraid of her and ran away.

Why did he go to the army so early,

that he ended up doing his residency with Dr. Yoon?

He was always compared to her.

Right?

Has Dr. Park's mother still not woken?

No. We aren't inducing sleep, but she won't wake up.

She must have been very tired.

One patient didn't wake up for 20 days.

She'll wake up.

I see.

The room is ready.

Professor, the surgery went well.

Good job. I'll check on the patient.

Professor Choi doesn't seem to be feeling so great today.

(Taesan University Hospital)

Dr. Choi.

You saved me.

You saved my life.

Now, tell me...

what happened that day.

That day...

(Emergency Medical Center)

It rained a lot.

Well... The surgeon's daughter is here sick.

But the test results aren't out yet, so...

My daughter is about to die. How long must I wait?

Are you saying the results are bad,

Soo Yeon won't get surgery?

Make sure he operates on my daughter first, no matter what.

- How... - Fake the test results!

If you save my daughter,

I'll make you the hospital director or give you whatever you want!

Yoo Bin did have myocarditis.

Yoon Hyun Mok told me to change the test results...

to say everything was normal.

Even if she had myocarditis,

she shouldn't have died in a matter of hours.

It was the Coxsackievirus.

(Coxsackievirus: A virus. May be fatal for children)

I didn't know that would happen to her.

I really didn't, Dr. Choi.

You understand, don't you?

You knew it was Coxsackie virus,

but you still changed it?

I thought she'd be able to last a few hours.

I left the original test results with my wife.

I'm sorry, Professor Choi.

I'm sorry, Professor Han Sang Ok.

I didn't perform the surgery.

What?

I thought you'd tell me if you thought I did it.

Why?

If I performed the surgery, you would've been dead by now.

You wouldn't have been able to open your eyes here.

I'll send you back to your nursing hospital.

Die in that hospital.

(Intensive Care Unit)

Professor Choi.

Professor Choi, Mr. Han Sang Ok's guardian is waiting.

As soon as he's stable, I'll send him back to the nursing hospital.

Pardon?

Here you go. My husband asked me to give you this.

Okay.

Doctor, how did the surgery go?

I...

couldn't do it.

He's in no shape for it.

Pardon?

Then what will happen to my husband?

It's worse than I expected.

Yes, it is. But is there another way?

He'll die if you operate on him.

If I don't, I'll never get to hear it.

How can you hear it if he's dead?

Close him up, and go.

If you can't operate on him, there's no other way.

I don't know what it is that you want to hear from him.

Close him up, and let him tell you.

Keep an eye on them. Don't mess up. Don't let them blame us if he dies.

I'll be in the next room. Call me if there's a problem.

Okay.

Professor Choi, let's figure out another way.

He doesn't have much time left.

There's no reason for us to operate on him.

- Bring me the Teflon felt. - Pardon?

(Material used for surgery)

Teflon felt?

You said he doesn't have much time left.

He needs to stay alive for his remaining time.

I'll wrap his aorta with the Teflon felt.

I won't make an incision. No complaints, right?

His aorta won't rupture while he's getting treated for cancer.

He'll be okay.

Thank you.

(Taesan University Hospital, Gangneung Branch)

(Name: Choi Yoo Bin)

(Name: Choi Yoo Bin)

(BNP: 1014)

Yoo Bin did have myocarditis.

Yoon Hyun Mok told me to change the test results...

to say everything was normal.

Her BNP levels are close to normal,

so there's a low chance it's myocarditis.

Her test results were fine, so what's the problem?

You need to operate right now!

Yoon Hyun Mok!

(Episode 10 will air shortly.)

(Episode 10)

We always face

Farewells at the docks

- Is that why you grabbed my hands? - Is that why

You grabbed my hands?

Will we use the ocean before us

As an excuse and bid farewell?

Men are like ships

And women are like harbors

Dr. Park, your mother woke up.

The woman sending him off won't speak a word

What can a man say when he's about to leave?

Don't even sound

The boat horn

Every day

She gazes at the ocean

She trudges back with tears in her eyes

Mom.

Who are you?

She developed delirium.

(Disturbed state of mind after surgery)

Are you waiting for someone?

Tae Soo.

He's my son.

Where did he go?

He went to school.

He's going to study hard...

and become a doctor.

Right.

Tae Soo.

He is at school.

Sir.

Can I sing one more song?

Yes.

Go ahead.

Sing all you want.

The moment you stood by me

I realized I liked your eyes

I cried yesterday

Thanks to you,

I'll be happy tomorrow

Forget about

Our days in the past

Everything is fine.

The blood vessels are clear, and the heart is functioning normally.

Thank you.

- Thanks, Dr. Choi. - Sure.

I was told I would need another surgery.

When do I need to get it?

It may be 10 years or later.

We won't know until we examine it then.

You do it for me.

- Me? - Yes.

Sure, I'll think about it.

Okay. Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Doctor.

I heard from my dad.

I'm sorry and thank you.

I'm going to med school, too. Let's meet again,

doctor.

(Patient: Han Sang Ok)

Han Sang Ok.

Han Sang Ok.

It couldn't be.

Dad. Are you ready?

Yes, I am.

Shall I go into work with my daughter today?

Hold on.

All done.

Let's go.

Yoon Hyun Mok told me to change the test results...

Soo Yeon.

Is something wrong?

I've been fine,

but I've had difficulty breathing since this morning.

When did you last get examined?

Forget that. You should get examined today.

Okay. I'll ask Ji Na.

- Sir. - Professor.

Hi, Professor Choi.

I'm glad I ran into you.

Soo Yeon has had difficulty breathing since this morning.

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

I've been operating nonstop since I got back,

so it's probably from overexerting myself.

You'll need to look her over.

She may need another surgery.

- Yes, sir. - After I get examined.

Sure. Let's talk after we get the test results.

Yes, Professor.

Take good care of my daughter.

Yes, sir. I will.

Yoon Hyun Mok told me to change the test results...

How is it?

You hung in there in the US with this heart?

You're frightening.

I've been taking my meds regularly.

All you took were your meds.

That's why you didn't know your valve was malfunctioning.

You can see through other people's hearts well.

Don't go around saying you're a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Fine.

You need to replace your valves.

It's been a while since you had that surgery, too.

Don't just take my word for it.

Go to the pediatrician and have him take a look too, okay?

What about your surgery?

I plan to ask Professor Choi.

I'll send him the video.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Soo Yeon.

I'm glad you're back.

Let's grab dinner sometime when it's over.

Sure, whatever.

That's right. Dr. Park's mother woke up in the middle of the night.

- She did? - I saw her echo.

Her heart grew stronger.

We'll check again tomorrow, but we may remove the ECMO.

I'll check on her.

Dr. Koo.

It's Soo Yeon.

Dr. Koo Dong Joon.

This is awkward.

Hi, Dr. Yoon.

Were you at the sonogram room?

- Yes. What about you? - Me too.

I left something in the office, so I need to get it.

Are you sick?

No. I just came to see Ji Na.

Ji Na?

All I can think about is Ji Na

Is that it?

Sorry?

Since you and she graduated at the same time,

you're close...

Yes.

What am I babbling about?

Dr. Koo. If you need a surgical first assistant,

call me at any time.

Me?

Sure.

I'll call you if I need.

Sure, I'll do that.

Thanks.

(Dad)

Hi, Seung Jae. What? There's an emergency?

I have to go.

Okay, I'm coming.

Bye.

Have you not made up your mind yet?

About what?

Hyun Il.

Was it so wrong of me to build a hospital in Africa?

You agreed with it as well.

That's not what I mean.

What hospital in Korea actually makes money?

That's what they do to survive.

I'm not doing it for myself.

It was all for Taesan.

Still, what's wrong is wrong.

Regardless, you're the director of the foundation.

You can make your little brother a hospital director.

You'll remain at the hospital after what you did?

Then what? You want me to leave Taesan?

I'm the one who built it to what it is!

You'll give it to Soo Yeon now, is that it?

This was your plan all along, wasn't it?

Hyun Il!

I don't want to share your problem with the board of directors.

Give me an answer by Sunday.

You want an answer?

Do you have any idea what my answer is?

You can't even handle it.

Ma'am, do you feel better?

I haven't seen you before.

Ms. Oh. This doctor...

saved you when you were passed out in your room.

Really? Thank you so much.

I'm alive, thanks to you.

No, I thank you for waking up.

Do you feel any pain?

No.

I feel fine now.

We'll run the test again.

And once you get better, you'll be off the ECMO.

- Hang in there a bit more. - Okay.

Please help my son, Tae Soo.

Okay.

Tae Soo.

How do you feel?

- I'm all better now. - What?

We can go home then.

Let's go back now.

I'm worried. Our house has been vacant for too long.

Okay, we'll go together.

Together? Really?

Let's stay here for few more days.

Again?

I'm glad your mother woke up.

Me too. It's all thanks to you.

Will you really leave after your mother gets a transplant?

Don't leave.

- Pardon? - The board meeting is next week.

There might be a way after the board meeting.

Yes?

Dr. Yoon, you said you wanted an appointment with Professor Choi.

You can come now.

Okay.

I must get going. Let's talk later.

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E10 Heart Surgeons "You Need to Live to Watch Your Daughter Die" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Professor Choi.

Sit down.

Did you see Soo Yeon's test results?

Yes.

The backward flowing was severe. It put a strain on her heart.

It must have been hard for Dr. Yoon.

We should replace the valve, right?

Please do a good job.

Help her use that valve for 1 or 2 decades without any problems.

Okay, I will. When should we book the surgery?

I'm not sure.

The surgery scheduled for Monday was canceled.

I'm available that day.

Is it too soon?

No, I'm okay with that.

Then I'll schedule it for Monday.

Thank you, Professor Choi.

His patients are waiting for him. We should go.

Okay.

Soo Yeon, give me a second.

Director Yoon.

Professor Choi.

The emergency surgery you performed yesterday afternoon.

You mean the dissection?

Yes, was the patient...

I forgot to inform you yesterday.

It was Professor Han Sang Ok.

He and I worked together at the branch in Gangneung.

How did it go?

He has an advanced lung cancer. There wasn't much I could do.

I only took care of what I could.

He'll return to the nursing hospital soon.

I see.

Did he say anything to you?

Regarding what?

Forget what I said.

Please take good care of Soo Yeon.

Okay.

You also should go through the pain...

of seeing your daughter die before your eyes.

(Cancer Center, Organ Transplant Center)

She said your mother could be off ECMO, right?

- Yes. - When she's off ECMO,

her priority level will be adjusted in the system a week later.

Before that happens, I hope she can get a heart.

You haven't heard back from KONOS, have you?

No, Doctor.

Professor Choi also calls several times a day.

He hasn't called today, but he'll call soon, probably.

If we hear that there's a brain-dead patient,

we'll call you immediately.

Thank you.

Daddy, come home quickly. Don't just stay in the hospital.

I miss you, Daddy.

Yoo Bin, sing for Daddy.

Okay!

Three bears are in a house

There are Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear

Papa Bear is fat

- Mama Bear is slim - Mama Bear is slim

And Baby Bear is so cute

- Raise your shoulders - Raise your shoulders

That was great

Daddy, come home soon.

I love you.

Yoo Bin.

Daddy is sorry.

Wait a bit more.

I'll be there soon.

(Na Jeong Yeon)

Mom.

I'm sorry that I couldn't visit you for a while.

Now, I'll visit you often.

Our daughter is having surgery tomorrow.

Pray for her that her surgery goes well...

and that she becomes healthy.

Should I push back the surgery?

The board meeting is coming up.

Don't worry about the board meeting.

Just think about your surgery.

When you wake up, everything will be in order.

I'm sorry for making you worry.

No, don't be.

Soo Yeon. I'm sorry that you were born sick.

Thanks to you, I'm all healthy, Dad.

Okay, okay. That's all that matters.

- All right. Let's head back. - Okay.

(Taesan University Hospital)

(Taesan University Hospital)

He wants me to give up all of this?

Give me an answer by Sunday.

Hyun Mok.

I don't know...

what kind of answer I should give you.

Let's get going.

(Taesan University Hospital)

Your contract is up in a month anyway.

Your mother should be able to get a heart transplant by then.

When she's off ECMO,

her priority level will be adjusted in the system a week later.

Before that happens, I hope she can get a heart.

(Professor Choi Seok Han)

Yes, Professor?

What did you drink so much?

You can't handle drinks that well.

I went to see Yoo Bin.

Let's go together next time.

Tae Soo.

Yes?

Shall we have another drink?

You're very drunk. Next time.

Aren't you curious to know what I wanted to hear...

so desperately?

I going to leave Taesan too.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Let's eat.

Why aren't you taking it out?

You know this isn't food. It's my flesh.

Then I'll enjoy it even more.

- Eat up. - Thank you.

Thank you.

What's going on today? Why is it so quiet?

Dr. Woo Jin.

See? This always happens.

Emergency? Okay. We'll get ready.

What is it?

There are two TAs coming.

Traffic accident. We didn't get to eat.

(Emergency Medical Center)

(Emergency Room)

- Where's the other person. - It'll take some time.

- Did you get his personal info? - No, not yet.

He's a man in his 60s. Let's go.

Wait.

Scalpel.

No!

Choi Seok Han speaking.

What?

(Administration and Accounting)

I'll do an intubation.

- No. - Sir.

No, no.

It's okay.

The TA patient is arriving soon.

Professor Choi.

Yes.

I won't make it.

Please...

Please save Soo Yeon.

Please excuse us.

Let's go.

(Emergency Room)

(Emergency Room)

We performed intubation at the scene.

She has a severe wound on her chest, so be careful.

Hurry up. Go to Soo Yeon.

Why must I do that?

- What do you... - Why...

Why must I do that?

Professor Choi.

Don't tell me...

I heard everything...

from Han Sang Ok.

He told me why my Yoo Bin died.

But...

you want me to save your daughter?

My Soo Yeon...

doesn't know anything.

And what did Yoo Bin know? Why must I...

Why must I save Soo Yeon?

Still,

you are a doctor, aren't you?

A doctor? Me?

I couldn't even save my own daughter.

But I'm a doctor?

- Professor Choi. - Shut it.

Please... I'm begging you.

Please...

Hey.

Professor.

Professor.

- Get the defibrillator. - Okay.

Don't die!

You need to watch your daughter die, too.

You need to watch your daughter die, too!

Bring her to an OR right away.

Don't die.

You need to watch your daughter die, too.

Don't die.

You need to watch your daughter die, too!

Don't die!

(Heart Surgeons)

I was just with them.

Stop compression. Pronounce his death.

Is it really Dr. Yoon?

Yoon Soo Yeon. 34 old female. We'll perform an exploration.

Do whatever it takes to save her!

If Soo Yeon dies, we're all dead!

- Is there a heart? - You can get surgery soon.

I'll go pick up the heart.

Please take good care of Tae Soo.
