Dad.

-Are you okay, Dad? -The other hospitals can't take him!

Please help us out here. We don't have anywhere else to call.

No. This can't be happening.

Dad.

In life, some moments come at you fast.

Dad.

Dad.

And you search for god in those moments.

Damn it.

This is the patient whose aortic aneurysm has ruptured.

I told you we don't have any doctors available for surgery.

How could you bring him here when I told you that?

His vitals are barely steady. He's in hypovolemic shock.

He'll die if he doesn't get surgery right now.

We can't operate on him.

Hurry up and leave.

Now.

-Dr. Ha. -Yes?

Show them out.

-Okay. Let's go now. -Doctor.

Please save my dad's life.

Please.

Get them to leave.

And if god is too busy to hear your prayers,

you'll wish a demon could come and help.

-Let's go! -No!

You can't do that!

Please reconsider.

If you reject this patient,

he could die on his way to another hospital.

What do you think you're doing?

You're just an intern.

-Hurry up and get them out of here! -No.

Stop!

This is a hospital and we're doctors.

If we give up on our patients, who will treat them?

So you think you're a doctor, too?

Will you operate on this patient yourself?

No, Dad!

So what happened?

Did the demon save the patient's life?

You're curious, aren't you? Well…

It's a secret.

There will be trouble if people find out.

Are demons real though?

Of course.

There's probably one in this hospital too.

A guardian spirit that looks after sick people.

You've heard of guardian spirits, right?

So be thankful for the spirit doctors who are watching over you.

You need to believe that.

-"Thank you." -You're lying!

There are no nice demons or spirits.

That's right. You're lying.

How can a doctor be a spirit anyway?

Are they a superhero or what?

She's telling us lies!

-You're a liar, lady! -Gosh, kids these days…

They don't listen to their elders anymore.

It's a lie that a living person…

12 YEARS LATER

…can cure everyone.

That's a lie, indeed.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

He's impeccably dressed as usual.

That's Dr. Cha Young-min, a heart surgeon.

What? He's a doctor?

You didn't expect that, did you?

Why would someone so handsome become a doctor?

And he's also shrouded in mystery.

What is it?

What's the CPR time?

911 RESCUE

It took us 30 minutes to get here. There were no witnesses.

-So we don't know when it happened. -This way.

Send Dr. Han. There's no need for an ECMO.

Move it.

-All right. Three, two, one. -Three, two, one.

I'll check for a pulse.

I'll intubate him.

Give me a 7.5 mm.

Let me do it.

Pump the Ambu bag.

Defibrillator.

Cardiovascular department? Why isn't the ECMO here?

They said they'd be here.

200 joules. Charge. Move away.

The charge is ready.

Let me check his heart rhythm.

Keep up the compression.

Check his pulse.

Where's she going?

Hey, Soo-jung!

Dr. Cha Young-min!

There's a patient in ER who needs ECPR. Could you please see the patient?

An intern? Ms. Oh?

I'll introduce myself later. Could you please come now?

It's so typical of you interns to not know your place.

It's fine. I was like that, too.

-It's a privilege that interns have. -Doctor. Watch out.

I'm sorry, Doctor. But we don't have time.

Please hurry.

What is the meaning of this?

Listen up, Intern. I don't have a lot of time.

First, I don’t just see any patient. Why?

Because other doctors will make time to see them.

Second, I don't see emergency patients. Why?

Because I screen patients before I accept them.

Third, I don't see patients like that. Which kind?

Someone like that patient who just came in.

These hands are for patients who have at least a 1% chance of survival.

Doctor, watch out.

-If you have time to talk-- -Yes, you were saying?

Ms. Oh, just go back to ER.

Learn how to give the TOD.

I must go now and save a life.

What a jerk.

What's his name?

Well…

His name?

It's Shin Jung-woo.

Shin Jung-woo.

The time of death is 9:31 am…

September 2nd.

Cha Young-min, you jerk.

Who?

Did you actually go and talk to him?

Hey, do you know who he is?

It doesn't matter.

He's a punk and a despicable doctor.

A punk?

You're going to be in trouble.

Even the hospital director treats him with utter respect.

He's the top surgeon at this hospital.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

When he was just an intern,

he single-handedly operated on an emergency patient and saved him.

It sent a shockwave through the hospital.

He did that again several times after he joined the faculty.

He's saved the lives of every patient he operated on.

There's even a rumor that he's possessed by a spirit.

What did you just say?

The operation he did as an intern?

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

I mean, he was your age at the time.

No matter how smart you are--

Not that part.

The rumor about him being possessed.

It's just a metaphor.

Because he's so good at what he does.

There's no way he's actually possessed.

33-year-old female patient with Behcet's disease.

A Bentall procedure was performed due to AR.

Suffered inflammation that required three operations.

Dr. Cha will perform a Quadrido-Bentall procedure today

to treat her aortic aneurysm.

Quadrido?

Is this the patient's fourth surgery? Not her fifth one?

Well, technically, it's her fifth surgery.

You could call it a follow-up surgery in this case.

Dr. Cha, as you're well aware.

It's a recurring disease that requires successive operations.

It'll manifest as coalescence and fuse randomly.

Sometimes it'll burst when you cut open the chest.

That makes it a very delicate and complex operation.

Why did you take on such a delicate and complex operation?

Well, that's because…

The other doctors refused to operate on the patient.

Why don't you do the follow-up operation yourself?

-You see, Doctor… -What?

The patient doesn't trust Dr. Ban…

He strongly requested a different surgeon.

Guess I'll have to do it. Get the patient ready. Next.

A male patient in his seventies.

Suffers from chronic diabetes and high blood pressure.

Also had a stroke two years ago.

He was short of breath a month ago

and was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoma after his examination.

I was assigned the patient.

The patient's son asked if I could operate--

So, will you?

No, of course not.

How could I do it?

I'm wondering if you could operate on him, Dr. Cha.

No, I can't do it.

Now Dr. Cha…

You shouldn't be so quick to judge. I mean, consider how his son feels.

A blood clot or a piece of the tumor could travel to his brain

and cause a stroke. That’s a high possibility.

We can't remove the entire tumor, so there's a high chance it'll grow back.

Without surgery, the patient can live for a year.

Tell the son that if he doesn't want to shorten his dad's life,

he should let his dad die peacefully at home.

Now look, Dr. Cha. Why don't you--

Next.

He's doing that on purpose to embarrass me.

I'm a senior faculty, but he doesn't care.

He thinks he's all that because he's a skilled surgeon.

Let him keep thinking like that. One of these days…

I'm counting on it.

I almost forgot.

Today's the day.

We'll see, you punk.

You're going to meet your match.

Go and have a great day.

He doesn't say a word in the meeting, but he always rants afterward.

What did he mean by that?

About Dr. Cha meeting his match.

Okay. The meeting is over.

Pull the plug.

Let's see…

Why is he in such a good mood?

It's like he has a screw loose.

We're getting new interns today.

He had it tough for two years being the youngest.

He's happy to finally have interns under him.

Was that today?

But the Medical Residents Act has made life easier.

So where are these interns? This is their first day.

-Put them to work when they're here. -Okay, Doctor.

Dr. Ahn, what's that sour expression for?

What is it?

Are you in a bad mood because you announced the TOD this morning?

No, Doctor.

How did you know though?

I was passing by.

The patient had an unwitnessed arrest, right?

It took 30 minutes to get here and CPR didn’t work.

It was obvious.

What about the ECMO?

-We didn't get it -Good call.

It costs three million just to prime the ECMO.

You have to discard the fluids if you don't use the machine.

It would have been a waste if we didn't use it.

Good job.

You must be Dr. Cha Young-min. I've heard a lot about you.

You're the top surgeon here.

Yes, that's true. But who are you?

What?

So this is the hand of the famous star surgeon.

You have such soft hands.

I take care of them very well.

But who are you?

There was a chairman who once said,

"One genius can support the livelihoods of 100,000 workers."

Let me see.

Our medical center has 2,000 health professionals

and 5,800 regular employees.

That's about 8000 people.

You could support the payroll of ten hospitals.

-Excuse me. -It costs three million for an ECMO.

That's one month's salary for an average worker.

If you can stop ten unnecessary ECMO activations, that'll save a lot.

What's your business?

-Who are you? -You have a great reputation

but I also heard that you're not a people person.

Hey, look here.

Geniuses have special privileges. It's also what makes them quirky.

It was Aristotle who said,

"No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness."

It takes an entire hospital to hold onto a genius.

If you ever come upon any obstacles

while performing dazzling surgery, you can come and talk to me.

You're busy people, so I'll let you go.

-What? -Where's the locker room?

That way.

By the way…

I'll be joining your department as a new resident.

My name is Koh Seung-tak.

Nice to meet you all.

Please wait up.

Is he one of our new interns?

Hey, who is he?

Hey, who was that punk?

You know him, don't you?

Since when?

Where did you meet him?

-How much do you know? -Since medical school.

Just as classmates. I don't know him that well.

Only a little.

"Nice to meet you all"?

-Did you tell him to say that? -No. I wouldn't dare to…

I only shared some information with him.

Information?

What kind of information? That I have a touch of madness?

You got it all wrong.

I'm a victim actually.

Koh Seung-tak?

Is he the guy who said, "Because my parents made me?"

You know him, too?

I heard a rumor.

His internship interview was famous.

You know the typical answers that everyone says?

Why did you become a doctor?

I want to heal patients who are suffering.

I'd like to save lives.

Those are the common answers you hear.

But one person said this.

Because my grandpa made me.

My mom made me.

His grandfather is our foundation's chairman?

And his mother is the chairman of the board?

APPROVED

How could he get residency through connections in this day and age?

What now?

What if the other doctors mount a protest over this?

Please reconsider this decision. This is unheard of.

He graduated summa cum laude and received top marks in his internship.

If this seems unfair, then the same applies to you.

The doctors probably agreed to give him the top marks.

Since when did we pick residents based on grades in med school?

It's about character, duty, and dedication.

Since when did you care about such things?

Assign him to a different doctor then. I'm not fond of his character.

He's a bit immature, isn't he?

Good morning, Mr. Han.

You're his cousin so you must know him well.

He's not just immature.

He's rude, disrespectful, and devoid of people skills.

He's lacking in many respects.

So I'm hoping you'll guide him well, Dr. Cha.

You could say the future of the hospital is in your hands.

Didn't I tell you?

Dr. Koh is the successor to our foundation.

But the chairman set a few conditions he has to meet first.

He has to prove himself.

So he needs my stamp of approval to become the chairman?

How did it go?

Are you seriously asking me that?

What do you think?

I can't tolerate a punk like him wearing a doctor's coat.

This scent…

What kind of a doctor wears perfume at a hospital?

It's not meant to be used here.

It's for masking the hospital smell when they go on a date after work.

Heard of work-life balance?

If you're done splurging on gifts, why don't you get to work, Dr. Koh?

Come on. It's time for our morning rounds.

A 65-year-old female patient. Bicuspid ES.

Ascending aorta dilatation. AVR. Ascending aorta replacement in progress.

Day one of postoperative day.

Extubation at ten last night. No signs of complications.

Seung-tak.

Explain a bicuspid aortic valve.

It's a congenital heart defect

where an aortic valve only has two leaflets, instead of three.

Within the aortic valve fusion type, various hemodynamic pictures emerge.

In young patients, it will show as AR.

In older patients, it'll be AS. Sometimes, there'll be aorta dilatations.

He had quite a reputation in med school.

For what?

He knows the material as well as the professors.

That doesn't prove anything.

He aced every test he took.

He read obscure research papers

and would ask difficult questions that would stump the professors.

Because of him,

some professors had to prepare extra hard before a class.

You took a year off from school. You must've kept studying.

Seung-tak, you're assigned to this patient.

What?

Seung-tak.

What is a maze OP?

The maze procedure

includes the creation of lines of conduction blocks

that block the abnormal impulses that cause atrial fibrillation,

enabling restoration of normal sinus rhythm.

He's your patient, too.

But Doctor….

This patient is still unstable.

-I should… -Dr. Ahn.

Does a doctor only see stable patients?

Let him.

Seung-tak.

What antibodies do you use

for culture-negative infective endocarditis?

I don't know.

You don't?

We should administer antibiotic medication

such as vancomycin, gentamicin, ampicillin,

ceftriaxone, or cefepime depending on the situation.

Talk to the Infectious Disease Department and proceed.

Me?

Yes. Seung-tak says he doesn't know.

Why me?

Because we're brothers.

What about the rest of them?

Those patients are…

Jae-won.

Why are those patients still here?

Well, their families are refusing to have them moved.

We don't have enough beds.

Have them moved by this week.

-Okay. -I see.

So a wise and proper doctor

gives up on his patients like them.

I learned a huge lesson on my first day.

Seung-tak.

There are two types of patients here.

Patients that were saved with these hands

and patients that can't be healed even after I tried.

And if I can't fix a patient that I operated on, then nobody can.

They are such patients.

You mentioned supporting the livelihoods of the staff.

A high inflow of patients will result in higher profits.

That's a given.

Why stick with terminal patients at the expense of other patients?

I wonder why they're holding on so desperately

as if they have a great life ahead of them?

One should know to let go when it's time.

Don't you agree?

You're so arrogant.

Don't you think so? He's so conceited.

It's typical of doctors. They're arrogant.

More so with him, since he's a genius.

Most geniuses have a little madness in them.

So ignore what he said.

Don't dwell on it.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Are you eating well?

I ate a little.

What is it now?

Your grandpa made you go to med school.

Then he told you to become an intern.

What does he want from you now?

The chairman needs to tighten security.

How come an intern like you knows that?

He gave me another task. I have to win over the board.

Really? Must've come as a surprise.

It's my destiny as his successor. I have to perform difficult tasks.

I'll be fine as long as I do okay.

Then why did you choose the cardiovascular department

when it's the toughest?

Being a heart surgeon is cool.

I don't want doctors to take me as a lightweight later on.

How about you try your best since you've decided to be a doctor?

Change your attitude first.

Hey, Crystal.

I've lived a sheltered life for 28 years with special privileges.

How can I change that now? It's the others that need to change.

And what's the point?

I'm not going to be a doctor for the rest of my life.

There's no need to work my butt off.

Yes. Who is this?

Yes, Doctor.

An operation? But why would I?

I'd really like to be there but I'm not feeling well right now.

He hung up on me.

Why do I need to observe Dr. Cha performing surgery?

Why are there so many interns?

Watching you operate is a great learning experience for them.

And this is a rare opportunity.

Plus, they wouldn't want to miss this complex procedure.

What's there to see? It's just another surgery.

You punk. You're late on your first day.

Wear a surgical gown and come back.

Stand close behind me.

The operation will start.

This is the fifth operation for the patient.

There could be fused tissue, so we have to carefully open up the chest.

Shall we begin?

Scalpel.

Bovie.

Give me the Bovie.

Done. Switch places.

Army navy retractor.

Hand me the retractor.

Hold it.

All right. RA first.

ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR HAN SEUNG-WON

Yes? This is Han Seung-won.

Then let's say tonight.

You don't need to worry about that.

The main procedure is over.

We'll perform transesophageal echocardiography.

There's no aortic valve paravalvular leak.

No leakage around the stitches.

The average systolic pressure stayed below 1.5 m/s.

No blood vessels narrowed. So the operation is a success.

Seung-tak.

What is a bioprosthetic aortic valve?

A bioprosthetic aortic valve

is generally made of either bovine pericardium

or porcine aortic valves, but may also be produced

from the equine or porcine pericardium.

The early onset of calcification

being the primary cause of biomaterial breakdown…

Very good.

I'm going to remove the RA cannula.

Tie it up yourself. You can do that, can't you?

Come on.

But on the first day of dissecting a cadaver,

he had to make an incision on the stomach.

What are you doing?

You don't know how to do it?

Hey, Seung-tak!

No, I don't want to do it.

After that day, he missed every anatomy class.

He would give excuses for being absent.

Seung-tak, are you…

Move it.

-Great work, Doctor. -It was an honor.

Do you know

which students do the worst in learning English conversation?

It's the students who got high English test scores.

They assume that their test score

makes them better at English.

Getting high English scores for ten years is meaningless

if you can't complete a single sentence in English.

It's the same with surgery.

If you only rely on books to learn,

you'll become like your senior here.

He's a polished speaker but he can't operate on a patient.

So what if he was born with a silver spoon?

His hands are useless.

You're not special either.

That's who you are.

When a patient is on the verge of death,

would you choose a skilled doctor who is arrogant and rude

or a warmhearted doctor who lacks skills?

You don't save patients

with your heart.

You use your brain and your hands.

Remember that.

We, doctors, are not emotional laborers.

We have to be specialists with skills to match.

So…

don't waste your time

trying to obtain prestigious titles…

without having the skills to back them up.

That's all.

Your hands are useless

My hands are golden

I love golden hands

You know this, right?

People look up to me with respect and admiration.

But I met this punk today at the hospital

who kept irritating me with his attitude.

He's a successor?

He can't even operate.

Cha Mandu.

Now answer me.

Do I let people trample over me?

Of course, not.

So I called him over to the operating room.

Whereupon, I showed him who's the boss.

How dare he try to challenge me. When he can't even operate.

It's all right. I beat him.

He probably won’t show up for work tomorrow.

What if he does?

If he does, well…

I'll have to come up

with a new strategy.

So I've been thinking about that.

Should I wear a brand new suit tomorrow?

Or should I buy a new car

once I pay off the monthly installments?

Good morning, Doctor.

You showed up for work.

Of course. This is where I work.

You're mentally tough.

As the next chairman, I have to be tough.

You're walking too close to me given your social status and reputation?

People who think like that are called stuffy, old fogeys.

We live in an egalitarian society now.

How about you work on learning how to become a doctor first?

Start practicing the tie first.

I need to be able to cater to a genius.

I happen to have good business acumen.

Tell that to your grandfather. You never know.

He might change his mind about you.

He changes his mind all the time.

So it's not necessary to tell him that.

-Go ahead without me. -Why?

Did you seriously ask me that? Do you think we're friends?

Gosh, he asked me a million questions.

Are you two friends?

You surprised me.

That's how it goes.

Friendships blossom over fights. Your enemy becomes your best friend.

I'm always the victim.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. Do you want coffee?

What did I do to deserve this?

-What? -Good morning.

I'll have a cup of coffee.

He's getting his coffee there again.

Where?

It's his spot where he drinks coffee all by himself.

Thanks.

There's a secret spot in my hospital that I didn't know about?

Hey, you shouldn't go there. Don't bother him.

How have you been?

It's been a while.

You look great.

Do you still have your coffee here?

Yes? This is Cha Young-min.

I was having a cup of coffee but had an unwelcome encounter.

No, I'll be right there.

This coffee tastes bitter.

This is…

Is this the case from the conference?

Yes, it's the cardiac sarcoma patient.

I didn't mention it yesterday,

but that patient is Jang Gwang-deok, chairman of the Cheonmyung Group.

He was admitted here last night under tight secrecy.

We can't let the press know about his condition.

That's why we called you here separately.

So please understand, Dr. Cha.

I already gave you my prognosis yesterday.

I heard you.

But I also told you

that his son wants surgery. That's his son.

He's the vice president of the Cheonmyung Group.

I'm Jang Min-ho.

You probably didn't know who I was yesterday.

Now that you know who I am,

could you reconsider your position?

Seriously.

Still…

I'm his only son.

I can't see him die without doing whatever I can.

So I kindly ask you, Dr. Cha, the top heart surgeon in Korea,

to reconsider your decision.

He has diabetes and high blood pressure.

He previously suffered a stroke. There's also his age.

It'll take a heavy toll on the patient if we proceed.

Even if I agree to operate on him,

the tumor is located deep in the left auricle and pulmonary vein.

It'll be difficult to completely remove it.

It will regrow in three months.

He won't live long.

Even without an operation, my dad won't live long, right?

Please operate on him so that we can save face.

I can't help save face for you

at the expense of hurting my career.

Today's operation schedule?

Here you are.

I want Seung-tak out of my sight.

What?

He bumbled through his internship.

That's why he doesn't have the basics.

Have him start at ER.

What?

Something wrong?

Then go and tattle to your grandfather.

Or go and tell your mom.

You heard him.

Why is he in a bad mood?

Did you say something?

It wasn't me this time.

What do I need to do at ER?

As if you'd survive. Just answer calls from the nurse station.

I got a call.

Mr. Kim?

You all know who I am, right?

I'm sure you've heard the rumor.

Yes, we know you.

The doctor who loves to bluff.

I like how you try to learn new things about me.

But not in front of everyone. It's inappropriate.

You're worse than me. Take all of this away before I get mad.

Why would I take it away?

It's okay.

You can accept it. It's a luxury brand, you know.

You still don't get it, do you?

Dr. Lee. Can you assign Dr. Koh to me?

What? Yes.

She can, right?

We started med school in the same year,

but you only started your internship now since you took too much time off school.

You don't seem to know this,

but there's a pecking order in the hospital system.

Follow me before I get mad.

You'll regret it.

What is this? The pecking order is reversed?

That must hurt!

That hurts.

Move it.

I'm sorry.

How can you make me wait so long?

Do you know who I am?

Sir, do you know who I am?

You piece of crap.

I want to see a real doctor!

I want to talk to the hospital director!

I'm in a higher position than them.

So you can speak to me.

Hey, are you kidding me?

How is that possible, you punk?

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Dad.

This is Dr. Cha, the heart surgeon I told you about.

Hello, sir. I'm Cha Young-min.

Oh, Dr. Cha.

I heard a lot about you.

You're the top heart surgeon in Korea.

I'm flattered.

This is my youngest daughter.

I'm Jang Se-jin.

My daughter

is also a doctor.

She works at a famous hospital in Seattle, USA.

But since I got sick,

she came all the way here to care for me.

I have conflicting feelings about parting

with my precious son and daughter sooner than I expected.

My son tells me there's a procedure which you perform.

I'd like to hear your honest opinion as a specialist.

That's why I requested to personally see you.

I've heard your story.

You were reunited with your rich dad.

You were on a whole different level, Ms. Jang Se-jin.

And Young-min,

you became a famous surgeon.

I'm not in the mood

to catch up with you like old friends.

What do you want?

Did you come to ask me

to operate on your dad?

No.

I'm against it.

I reviewed my dad's hospital records with my colleagues.

I think I came to the same conclusion you did

as a doctor.

I think it's ethical

to let my dad die peacefully

instead of having him go through such a risky operation.

Who called it a risky operation?

Are you saying that because you still hold a--

Se-jin.

You still think

I'm that bratty intern you knew 12 years ago?

What?

Your dad didn't write his will yet?

Or…

do you not like what's in your Dad's will?

What would you like me to do?

Should I let him die

or save his life?

Your dad, I mean.

So this is what you ended up becoming.

I have something to tell you.

If I don't tell you now, I might never be able to say it.

Se-jin…

I'll wait for you there.

Se-jin.

Se-jin!

She went to America for a training program.

She's probably on her flight already.

I heard Se-jin got reunited with her biological dad.

She's starting a new life since her dad is wealthy.

She's got it made. I thought she was dating Young-min.

Can't you tell what's happening?

She dumped him.

She's rich now so she's no longer interested in a poor intern.

So this is what you ended up becoming.

No.

You don't know

the kind of doctor I became.

This is Cha Young-min.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Did you reschedule the operations?

Yes, I did.

But do you have to do this surgery?

Don't worry.

If we do an autotransplantation, we've got a chance.

Seung-joo was supposed to get surgery at that time slot.

Hey.

That's not an urgent operation.

We can delay that for a day or two.

But this is a risky operation. And the tumor will likely regrow.

Doctor, you usually turn down operations like this.

Ahn Tae-hyun.

How many years have you been a fellow?

I'm in my fourth year.

Next year, you'll be under review to join the faculty.

They'll begin accepting applications soon, right?

The patient's son said

I'll get his full backing if I do this surgery.

That means you'll get a career boost too, Dr. Ahn.

Okay?

Isn't that why you've endured my behavior these past years?

I'll get prepared…

for the surgery.

Shall we begin?

Scalpel.

CURRENT TIME TIME IN SURGERY, TIME UNDER ANESTHESIA

Suction.

All right.

We're removing the heart.

-Focus. -Yes, Doctor.

Pull it a little more.

Hey. Hold it steady, okay?

If I damage the mitra because of you, will you fix it?

Stay focused!

I'm sorry.

Doctor.

I'll stay and watch over him. So please get some rest.

He hasn't woken up yet. I'm not going anywhere.

Who could it be?

LET'S MEET UP. CAN YOU COME RIGHT NOW?

I'll be right back.

Stay by the patient's side.

Call me if there's any change in his condition.

-I think the driver is still in the car. -He's still inside.

-Oh no. -Really?

-Why aren't the paramedics here? -Why is the ambulance taking so long?

-He's bleeding a lot. -He lost a lot of blood.

I mean he swerved towards me.

That car over there.

When will they get here? The driver is dying. Please hurry!

-Darn it. -He's dying. Oh, no.

I'm a doctor. Let me have a look at him.

Why isn't the ambulance here?

Hey, can you hear me?

Hey.

Could you stand back?

I told you to stand back.

Damn it.

-Over here! -Hurry!

Sir, can you hear my voice?

His heart stopped.

Do you have a defibrillator in the ambulance? Go and bring it.

Excuse me.

Hey!

Move it.

There's another person inside.

Over here! Bring the stretcher!

Yes, Jae-won.

Hey, Seung-tak, where are you right now?

I'm at the ER, of course.

You know that thing I asked for…

I can't hear you. What am I doing right now?

We just got a bunch of emergency patients.

What?

They're really here.

Hey Seung-tak.

Why is it so loud there?

Hey Seung-tak.

RESTRICTED ACCESS

He's a TA patient.

He was on a motorcycle and hit a car.

This way.

911 RESCUE

This is the driver whose car crashed into the motorcycle.

Dr. Cha Young-min!

What? He's a doctor at this hospital?

Yes, this way. Hurry.

-The patient is Dr. Cha Young-min. -What?

-All right. Three, two, one. -Doctor.

-Be careful. -His chest hit the steering wheel.

Blood pressure is 80, 40. Pulse is 120 beats.

That's right.

I hit my chest on the steering wheel.

It's probably a tamponade.

Or a rupture.

Get the operating room ready. Go straight to surgery.

There's no time for a CT scan.

What are you doing? Prepare the operating room. Call CS.

Right. Do a cardiac ultrasound. Okay?

CS isn't answering.

What? Why aren't they answering? Who's on call at CS?

Seung-tak.

-Why aren't you answering the call? -What?

You're on call today?

-What? He's supposed to be on call? -Who put him in charge?

It can't be him.

Right. Ahn Tae-hyun.

-Call Dr. Ahn. -It's Dr. Cha. Go and treat the patient.

He can't treat me.

He only studied a tamponade in a medical textbook.

-How would he know what to do? -Cardiac ultrasound machine.

Give me the cardiac ultrasound. Fast.

Hey, you have to be careful when you use it.

You don't know how to use it.

You know where to check?

You do? You know?

Seung-tak. Here. You see the blood clotting here?

It's a tamponade or rupture. Stop it through surgery.

Right there. You see it?

I see blood clotting there.

I think it's a tamponade. We have to operate now and stop it.

What are you all doing? Move my body to the operating table!

-Soo-jung, hold him. Go to OR. -All right. Let's go to OR now.

Find someone who can operate on him. Hurry. You have to find someone quickly.

What's taking them so long?

It's 90 and 112.

All right. I'm fine for now.

Hang in there.

You can do it.

Answer your phone! Please!

I'm going crazy.

His blood pressure is falling.

Dr. Cha is going to die at this rate.

Why isn't anyone coming?

All right.

Just this one time. Please.

Please.

Please.

I've saved so many patients

in this operating room.

How can there not be one surgeon around to save me?

Out of all the surgeons, why is Seung-tak the only one here?

This is bad. Call the emergency room.

Give me the scalpel.

What are you doing? Don't tell me you're…

-Hand me the scalpel! -You're a first-year resident, right?

I can't let you do that!

You said he'll die if we don't do anything.

Should I let him die then?

Hey, Seung-tak.

There's no time. Give it to me.

I'm not taking responsibility for this.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Oh! You have to stop him!

He doesn't even know how to pull a cannula out.

How can you put my life in his hands?

His blood pressure dropped again. We can't wait any longer.

Wait a minute!

All right.

I like your spirit. You want to help.

Fine.

But have you ever held a scalpel before?

All right.

I know you don't have any other options.

Calm down.

Relax. Take deep breaths.

Inhale, exhale.

Inhale, exhale. Good.

I've been through this. I know it's scary.

Of course, it's scary. You've never done this before.

But you know me, right? When I was an intern…

Anyway…

You can do it too. Not anybody can pull it off.

You have to believe in yourself.

Envision the procedure in your head.

You're good with theory.

Stop! Not there, you punk!

Do you have something against me?

You do? Okay.

I understand. But now is not the time.

Save my life and don't let your emotions get in the way.

I said not there, you punk!

Dr. Koh. What are you doing?

Are you doing it or not?

What just happened?

I can't believe it.

Hey! Seung-tak!

Shall we begin?

Ms. Oh. Stand in as my first.

Focus now!

Stand closer!

Blunt retractor.

My…

My heart…

I can't slack off at work tomorrow

because they found out the skills I've been hiding.

How could he not know what's happened to him?

Come with me. Come here, Seung-tak.

Be careful, Nurse Jung.

I said be careful, Nurse Jung!

A coma ghost can't possess a person's body.

But you can.

Where did that punk go, Dr. Ahn?

Which punk are you talking about?

The operation was flawless.

One of the heart surgeons is in my pocket.

When you held the scalpel in the operating room,

were you trying to kill me instead of saving me?
