Original subtitles

Are these people

the staff members who will participate in my surgery?

-Yes, Chairman Shin. -I see.

They all look trustworthy.

Don't you think so?

Yes, I agree with you.

I was discussing

your surgery with them.

That's good.

Actually, I came down here

to talk about it.

-Teacher Kim. -Yes?

Let us

stick to our original plan.

Pardon?

Let's proceed with the surgery

as we planned.

Chairman Shin.

I think Geosan Medical Center needs

a young chairman at this juncture.

So I'd like to have you

as the next chairman of the foundation.

Watch what you say about that.

My father

is still in good condition.

I know

you wouldn't be comfortable talking about it.

But it wouldn't be amiss

to plan for what's ahead--

He said

he is going to have the operation.

-Is he going to have the operation? -Yes.

Chairman Shin wants to proceed with it no matter what.

Did you

make your decision after due consideration?

Of course I did.

It is a matter of life and death.

I know I am old

and I've lived long enough.

But it doesn't mean that I don't cling on to life.

Rather, the contrary.

Because I don't have long to live,

I desperately want to live longer.

But this is

just not right.

Should I wait until I die

doing nothing?

That doesn't sound like me.

It's not a simple operation where we just replace batteries.

We are talking about replacing the artificial heart itself.

It won't be easy

to go through the operation.

I know.

Do you still want

to proceed with the operation?

Even if I have one day left to live,

I want to live a decent life.

I want to die like that.

Teacher Kim.

I want you

to respect my decision.

Okay?

What did Bu Yong-ju say?

Did he say

-he'd perform the operation? -I'm not sure.

What if he says yes?

Who in the right state of mind would do such a thing?

He knows Chairman Shin's condition better than anyone.

He's Bu Yong-ju after all.

He's the type that enjoys challenging himself

with an operation that seems impossible.

He's more likely to proceed with it than to refuse it, don't you think?

If so,

he will be digging his own grave.

What do you think he is doing?

Is he considering whether

to proceed with the operation?

It seems like he is.

Is he going to do it?

Or is he giving up?

I don't think so.

I agree with you.

You think? I knew it.

Teacher Kim wouldn't give things up so easily.

If so, what is he trying to decide?

Maybe he is busy

making plans for the operation.

What you say is very plausible.

Is he making plans for the operation?

What kind of plans

is he thinking about

to make the operation successful?

Give him hydration.

Once he gets better, send him to an outpatient department.

Dr. Woo, I need to talk to you.

Why did you call a surgeon for this?

-Pardon? -He doesn't have severe symptoms,

and he even passes gas.

You should be able to handle this much in the emergency room.

He has a history of operation,

and I found ileus on the x-ray. So I called just in case.

I know there is no real boundary between ER and GS in this hospital,

but don't you think you shouldn't call a surgeon just for everything?

Woo Yeon-hwa. No, Dr. Woo.

I heard you were a first year resident of General Surgery.

Then you are supposed to know when to call a surgeon and when not to.

-I'm sorry, Doctor. -Don't be sorry and do...

Just do better.

What's the matter?

I guess he is upset with me.

Why?

Probably because I did something wrong.

You jerk.

Dr. Woo, did you just ignore my order?

I told you to assist the operation, not Dr. Kang.

Dr. Kang insisted to do that.

Are you saying Dr. Kang's order takes priority over mine?

How am I supposed to trust you when you're being like this?

I'm sorry, Doctor.

-I should've given it more thought. -Don't even be sorry.

Just make sure to do your job right.

Are you saying we should shorten the time?

-Do you think it's impossible? -Are you really going to

proceed with the operation?

I'm just thinking it may be manageable.

Only if we can finish the whole process within six hours.

Within six hours?

That's ridiculous. Six hours?

This surgery usually takes at least nine to ten hours,

and we already shortened it to 7 hours and 30 minutes.

You want to shorten it by an hour and a half again?

That's why I'm asking you.

How much more time can you save from that?

Ten minutes. No, even five minutes is good.

Do you think you can do that?

Are you

seriously considering finishing the operation in six hours?

Can you do it or not?

-Six hours? -Six hours?

So that's what he's been trying to figure out.

In order to finish in six hours...

Hold on.

That means we can't afford to touch a single artery

while excoriating the tissue through sternotomy and cannulation.

Even then, we'd barely be able to finish in time.

Even if we do that, we won't be able to finish in six hours.

Excoriating the tissue without touching the artery is impossible.

Don't you think it could be possible for Teacher Kim?

It's not like he's been specializing in heart surgeries.

It'll be difficult even for Teacher Kim. It can't be done.

My thoughts exactly.

Besides, doing the surgery

will not benefit Teacher Kim whatsoever.

He will be criticized regardless of his success or failure.

-Do you think so? -That won't be all.

In the case he fails, he'll take all the blame.

I doubt that.

Do you think President Do will leave Teacher Kim alone?

He's been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him.

If the operation fails,

he'll quickly grab that opportunity to hold Teacher Kim responsible.

Which is why we can't afford a failure.

Failure?

We shouldn't let that happen, then.

Don't you think so, Dong-ju?

The patient is a 72-year-old man with terminal lung cancer.

Putting him under anesthesia for a long time alone

is a great risk.

Which is why we shouldn't go over six hours.

You know better than us that it's impossible.

So what? You can't do it?

No. I'm opposing it.

Okay.

One person opposes.

What about you, Dr. Nam and Ms. Oh?

Okay. You two are on hold.

And you, Dr. Yun? Are you against it as well?

No. I'm in favor of it.

-Seo-jeong. -Okay.

One person in favor.

All right.

You two can let me know once you make up your mind.

If possible,

I'd like you to be in favor.

Until then.

I guess he's really going to perform the surgery.

He was going to do it in the first place.

We should be stopping him.

How could you support his decision?

Because it's Teacher Kim's decision.

Will you die if he tells you to?

I told him that I'd at least pretend.

What's the reason behind it?

What's the reason behind your implicit faith in him?

Respect?

If you respect him, you should've been more rational.

The doctor you respect is about to perform a very risky surgery.

Not only Teacher Kim himself

but he could put everyone at Doldam Hospital in trouble.

The fact that Teacher Kim is so confident

must mean that he's gotten it pretty much figured out already.

What if he actually finishes the operation in six hours? What then?

It's absolutely impossible.

I think trying to finish under six hours

will more likely to lead us into mistakes.

Even after taking every variable into account,

I really want to be

a part of that operation.

It might be an operation

of my lifetime.

This is a very rare case of an operation.

More importantly, when do you think

I'll get another chance to witness Teacher Kim performing a surgery?

Don't you think so?

But still, the risk is too high.

I think it's a risk worth taking.

And what if he fails?

I don't even want to think about it.

But even if he does fail,

I'll be grateful

for that I could be part of the process with Teacher Kim.

I think that alone has meaning.

That lunatic.

So are you saying he's pressing on with the operation?

Okay.

Get me the list of the staff members.

Has Bu Yong-ju decided to perform the surgery?

Yes, apparently.

With how things are panning out,

you'll need to come up with a plan in case of an emergency.

-What kind of emergency? -Chairman Shin

is 72 years of age. Furthermore,

he has terminal lung cancer.

He'll have to withstand an eight to nine-hour-long surgery

under general anesthesia.

That alone puts the operation at a very high risk.

The operation might be successful.

Regardless of its success or failure,

the mere fact that he's undergoing surgery is meaningless

with the condition he's in.

But

you shouldn't worry too much.

I have a plan.

I'll go to Doldam Hospital

and offer him two propositions.

I told you not to come down here ever again.

Have you forgotten about what I said?

Why come here? For what purpose?

I just heard about Chairman Shin's surgery.

And?

Are you going to try to stop me again?

That won't be possible

with Chairman Shin being so stubborn.

I'm thinking about supporting you

so you can do it properly.

-Support me? -Let's start by

replacing all of your staff members.

What is this gibberish I'm hearing?

Just to be clear,

this wasn't my order.

It's a request made by Director Shin.

Consider yourself informed.

What are you talking about?

The staff members are to be replaced with the staff from Geosan Medical Center?

President Do came down here to say that in person?

Yes. On top of that, he said that it wasn't his order.

It was a request made by Chairman Shin's daughter.

The staff members will be replaced?

With the staff from Geosan Medical Center?

Yes. President Do came here and said that in person.

I understand. I'll get down there.

Okay.

You too know

that Geosan Medical Center is famous for its thoracic surgery department.

Do you want experienced personnel?

Or young and skilled fellow doctors?

Right.

You'll need an anesthesiologist as well.

I took a look at the list of your staff members.

I saw Dr. Nam's name on it.

Letting someone in a medical lawsuit to be in charge of

Chairman Shin's anesthesia is... How should I say this?

I don't like it.

It's not like it was a simple medical accident.

It involved someone dying.

Oh, there's something else. I'll also send you

two skilled scrub nurses.

They're on a whole another level

compared to nurses at a cottage hospital.

Look at you all yapping about.

Will you shut your mouth before or after I punch you?

Right now,

I'm doing you a favor out of kindness.

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but nobody else other than my own staff members can be in my OR.

A request made by Director Shin?

What a joke.

Go back and tell her that I don't give a damn.

Your staff members

are all a bunch of people with disqualifications.

In case the operation doesn't go well,

you wouldn't want room for controversy.

Hey, President Do.

I just need you to stay out of my way.

Then, there won't be any problems.

If you can't change the staff members,

you have to accept another offer.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Another offer?

What another offer?

Live surgery.

LIVE SURGERY: SURGERY PERFORMED FOR DEMONSTRATION

Live surgery?

What?

They'll perform my surgery in front of an audience?

Yes, Father.

Whose idea is this?

Is this from President Do?

The ones watching the surgery will be

people from the hospital, me,

and cardiothoracic surgeons of Geosan Medical Center.

I think I'd feel better

if I watch and see how your surgery is going.

Please, say yes.

Choose one.

Change your staff members

or choose to go with live surgery.

If you choose to do the live surgery,

all the cardiothoracic surgeons from the main hospital will come

and observe the operation.

Unbelievable.

What will you choose?

Will you change your staff members?

Bu Yong-ju

won't change his staff members.

Will you choose to do a live surgery?

What happens

if he chooses to go live?

Like I said,

it'll be like digging

his own grave.

Which one will you choose?

Will you change your staff members?

Or will you do a live surgery?

What kind of an awful man is he?

How can he ask you to choose between the two?

What kind of a threat is this? Isn't that right, Teacher Kim?

Well, we can't say that it's just a threat.

This operation is so rare

that the main hospital would want to take part in this.

But his intention isn't so innocent!

Honestly speaking,

that just means he wants to keep his eyes on our operation.

Also, why did he have to pry

into Dr. Nam's medical litigation?

On top of that,

he called me an old nurse who works at a cottage hospital.

He didn't say you were old.

Calm down.

Anyway, I am

deeply offended, Teacher Kim.

I believe you should turn down both conditions from President Do.

I have another idea, Ms. Oh.

This can be a chance for us.

This isn't a chance!

Is this our chance to be angry?

It's a chance for us

to show the world how good of a surgeon Teacher Kim is.

What do you think, Teacher Kim?

I don't know. Well...

Why don't you change your staff members?

Like President Do mentioned,

we shouldn't leave any room for a dispute.

The verdict isn't out,

but it is true that I am in the middle of a litigation.

If the surgery goes wrong by any chance,

my situation

can affect you in a bad way.

Dr. Nam.

We can't be a burden to Teacher Kim, Ms. Oh.

Right now, let's just focus on

how we can help Teacher Kim.

I'll reduce five minutes from my part.

Do you think that'll help?

You are in.

Two of you agreed including Dr. Yun.

What about Dr. Nam and Ms. Oh?

Oh, my goodness.

Are you still undecided?

Teacher Kim, please hear me out--

Stop talking nonsense.

Let's do what we always do.

That's how you can help me.

But Teacher Kim--

I have no one else to depend on if you are not there.

If I have someone else in the operation room,

I won't be able to focus because I'll be more nervous.

If I can't focus,

the operation time will be delayed.

I can't even miss a minute now.

Do you think I should waste my time like that?

And you too, Ms. Oh.

Why are you getting so angry

at President Do's nonsense?

The only scrub nurse

who can work up to my speed is

just you, Ms. Oh.

And you already know that.

Well, yes.

That's true.

I thought I could do this under six hours

because I knew

I would be doing the operation

with the staff right here.

My gosh.

Do-il, did you have to make me

state the obvious like this?

Should I be doing this, Ms. Oh?

It sounds heartwarming and nice.

What will you do?

Dr. Nam and Ms. Oh.

Will you join the operation or not?

What can I do?

I'll be there.

I'm the only scrub nurse who can work at your speed.

Dr. Nam.

-What about you? -Are you really okay

with doing this live?

You make me so frustrated.

President Do.

Let's do the live surgery.

Satisfied?

Satisfied?

It's just as I thought.

Yes.

He has

chosen to do a live surgery.

Our next step is

to destroy him for good.

So

when is the operation?

In five days.

We'll start at 9 a.m.

I see.

I heard my daughter

asked for something troublesome.

I don't mind.

It doesn't matter if I go live or not.

I'm only concerned

about reducing the operation time.

That's my only concern.

Thank you, Teacher Kim.

You should thank me

after the operation is over.

You have made a difficult decision.

I will count on you.

Of course, I'm sure you'll do a good job.

Is there

anything that Chairman Shin has not shared with me?

Why do you ask?

Well,

it seems like he's hiding something.

I was wondering if that has something to do with the operation.

Do you know anything, Manager Ju?

I'm sorry.

He has told me not to say anything to you.

So there is something.

You can hear it from him

after the operation.

We only have five days

to prepare.

Meanwhile, our task is to figure out

how we can shorten 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It's 1 hour and 25 minutes.

I already shortened five minutes from my part.

-Dr. Yun. -Yes, Teacher Kim.

Make sure you study his CT scan

and find out where you will perform cannulation.

Wait, no.

Put the CT scan in your head and memorize it.

Will do.

Ms. Oh and Mr. Park.

Could you check and see if we can shorten more time

by making changes to the surgery procedure?

-Yes. -Yes, Teacher Kim.

-Dr. Kang. -Yes?

Make sure you finish your part within 25 minutes.

-Keep your time, okay? -Yes, Teacher Kim.

Okay.

Dr. Nam.

Let's prepare this thoroughly for the next five days.

-Yes. -Yes, Teacher Kim.

Tell all cardiothoracic surgeons to be here in 30 minutes.

-No exceptions. All of them! -Yes, President Do.

The aorta is close to the sternum. Do you see that?

The space is too small.

One false move,

and you could cut the heart or the aorta.

What should we do

in case we can't cannulate the aorta?

Go for the femoral artery.

That's right.

Once the operation begins, make sure to disinfect the femoral region.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Shim. Liaise with the live shooting team.

-Yes, President Do. -It starts at 9 a.m.

So you should be there at least an hour before.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Bring me the suture set.

Okay.

You are not busy, are you?

Pardon? Were you talking to me?

-Do you see anyone else? -Okay.

If you are not busy, come assist me with the suture.

Okay.

Short for subcutaneous and long for skin, you know that, right?

Yes, I know.

Cut.

Were you really a resident in GS? You are not doing it right.

I'm sorry. I was too nervous.

Cut.

Gosh. Make it shorter.

Okay?

-I'm sorry. -I told you to be better, not sorry.

Wipe the blood, too.

Am I bleeding?

Please don't move.

Blood gathers

when the needle goes into the wound.

Okay.

Let me do that.

Please go check the other patients. I can take care of this.

What are you doing?

He just asked you to go check the other patients.

Yes, Doctor.

Cut.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Hey.

What?

Did something happen between Teacher Kim and you?

You are not attending the meeting,

and Teacher Kim isn't looking for you either.

Did something happen after we fought?

You even left the team.

Nothing happened.

I just told him that I didn't want to join.

Gosh. You begged Teacher Kim to let you be the first assistant.

Why did you change your mind?

When did I do that?

I didn't beg him to let me be the first assistant.

Did Teacher Kim tell you that?

I just overheard it.

Why did you change your mind?

I told you. I just don't want to do it.

I don't want to bother.

I thought the operation was about replacing batteries,

but it became too complicated.

And it's not like I had an important position.

What if you can change the position?

Do you want to join the team again?

What do you mean?

I have to cut the surgical time down from 30 minutes to 25.

If I do that with you,

I think we can save five more minutes.

I will replace the batteries and you will replace the controller.

What do you think?

Are you asking me a favor?

-Why? -Well,

I just want to cut down the surgical time.

Listen.

For a general surgeon,

it is a great chance to expand your experiences.

Just having your name on the operation chart will have

a huge influence on your career.

It will be even better if it ends successfully.

What do you think?

Do you want to join me?

I will replace the batteries and you will replace the controller.

I'm in.

Okay.

In-beom.

Are you sure you can do that in 20 minutes?

I want you to have

In-beom join the team again.

If we work together,

we can finish it in 20 minutes.

It includes suture process, too.

Of course.

Okay. In-beom is in.

Yes!

I will have the same.

I heard an interesting rumor.

Is Dr. Bu Yong-ju coming back?

Yes.

I'm afraid so.

Do you think it's okay?

I tried to stop him,

but Chairman Shin was too firm about that.

Is he replacing Chairman Shin's artificial heart?

If the operation proves to be a success,

you will be in trouble.

How can such an immoral person like him succeed?

That's just ridiculous.

It will just dispirit

innocent, hard-working people like us.

That's not how the world is supposed to work.

Why don't you

take the opportunity

to realize justice?

Where are you going?

I'm just going home.

-What about you? -I'm going home, too.

Why? Is there a problem?

You don't have to go home together though.

What's the matter? We are going the same way.

Do you live nearby?

We live in the same house.

In the same house? Do you live together?

Yes. We live together in the company house. Why?

You should have told me that.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I thought you already knew.

Most of the hospital employees live in the company house.

Didn't you know that?

No, I didn't.

Where did you think I was staying?

I didn't even think about that.

And I didn't even imagine that you two would sleep together.

Seo-jeong, wait for me.

I'm going home with you.

Why? You don't like the company house.

You like the staff room better.

I changed my mind.

Wait for me.

Don't move an inch.

Are you two going home?

Yes. Are you going home, too?

I'm a little nervous about the operation tomorrow.

I'd better go home early and get some rest.

Me, too.

What is that? Is it the prayer book?

There will be

Wednesday service tonight.

For the historic operation tomorrow,

I should say my prayers.

Gosh. Since when did you do that?

Since last Sunday.

I may not look like that, but I'm a believer.

Dr. Yun.

Do you want to grab a bite to eat at Dr. Nam's restaurant?

A glass of beer will be nice as well.

Beer?

I'm afraid I'll have to say no since the operation is coming up.

Let's drink after everything is over.

Instead, why don't we go to Dr. Nam's place for some ramen?

-Ramen? -That's good, too.

I forgot to do something.

Go on without me.

-Let's go, Seo-jeong. -Okay.

With the weather so cold,

some ramen will be so good.

And a glass of beer.

Where did she go?

Did she leave already?

Manager Jang. Have you seen Seo-jeong?

I know where she went.

PRAYER BOOK

Follow me.

What?

-For Teacher Kim! -For Teacher Kim!

-For the artificial heart! -For the artificial heart!

This is...

I feel really bad.

I happen to be the only one who doesn't need to operate.

Instead of a blessing from the above,

you're celebrating with beer.

Gosh, don't talk like that.

I thought you didn't go to church.

Did you start going lately?

The last time you went to...

Oh, that's right.

There was that newly possessed shaman.

That lustful female shaman.

Gosh, stop intervening

in my religious life.

That's private.

Sure, whatever you say.

All right. Here is your order of budaejjigae with extra noodles.

Ramen is coming soon as well.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

Thank you.

By the way,

I've never heard about Dr. Nam's medical litigation before.

Can I ask you about it?

Later.

You have a big surgery tomorrow.

Let's talk about that some other time, Dr. Kang.

Okay. I understand.

By the way,

Dr. Kang and Dr. Yun

look beautiful together every time I see you.

Aren't they like a cute hospital couple?

You know?

I'm asking just to be sure.

I know the possibility is like the Earth colliding with

a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy,

but I'm only asking just to be sure.

Are you two

dating?

Is it true?

It's not like that.

We're not.

We're really not.

Why would you think that?

I've known him for a long time. That's why we seem close.

Didn't I tell you?

When he came to work as an intern at the ER five years ago,

he used to be my underling.

Isn't that right, Dong-ju?

It is true.

You were the arrogant,

-untouchable intern. -I love you, Seo-jeong.

I love you, Ms. Oh.

Me?

I love you, Manager Jang.

Dr. Nam. I love you.

Gosh.

You know how it is.

We love each other and care for each other.

What we have as Doldam Family

is thicker than water.

Isn't that right, Seo-jeong?

Dr. Nam. Ramen please!

Right. Okay.

Oh, I forgot kimchi.

I should drink some more beer.

I don't know why I feel so thirsty.

I love you.

-What do you think you're doing? -It's thrilling, isn't it?

You can expect more of it.

There will be more.

Do you want to die from the cold or from my beating?

It's too cold to die outside.

And it'll hurt to get beaten by you.

I love you.

Gosh, please.

They are dating for sure.

They really are.

-I'm pretty sure. -I agree.

I love you.

What are you doing here?

I've been waiting for you.

-Why? -I will be

joining the operation tomorrow.

So I've heard. And?

This time, it's not because of my father.

Based on pure intentions to shorten the surgical time,

Dong-ju asked me to.

That's why I'm doing it.

I don't want you

to take things the wrong way.

You have 20 minutes.

If you fumble

or if you don't finish in 20 minutes,

I'll chop your hand off.

Consider yourself informed.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Manager Jang.

Hello, President Do.

Is everything ready and good to go?

Of course. We didn't schedule any appointments today.

The walk-in patients will be sent to the emergency room.

-What about Chairman Shin? -He's still in his room.

Teacher Kim went to see him just now.

They are here.

Chairman Shin. How are you feeling today?

You know how it is.

I literally feel like

being on an operating table.

Don't be so nervous, Chairman Shin.

We will try our best.

Of course you should.

Hello, Chairman Shin.

Well.

What brings you here, President Do?

How could I not come

when you're about to undergo a big operation?

I see.

How thoughtful of you to come.

I hope I can see you in a healthy condition

after the operation.

Thanks. I hope so, too.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

NO OUTPATIENT TREATMENT TODAY THE EMERGENCY ROOM IS AVAILABLE

Let's take him to the operating room now.

Okay. I'll go with you Chairman Shin.

All right.

-Mr. Gu. -Yes?

We'll take him to the OR.

I wish you luck.

I don't know about that.

I'm just not sure

which outcome you are wishing me luck for.

Which outcome would it be?

Today will be a long day for us.

Ms. Eom, you're in charge in my absence. You know that, right?

Yes, Ms. Oh. Please don't worry.

Every surgeon in this hospital will participate in this surgery,

but Dr. Kang and Dr. Do

will be out once they're done removing the battery.

So in case of an emergency, call the operating room.

Yes, I will.

Let's make it through today safely.

Dr. Jeong, please take care of the emergency room.

You have nothing to worry about since I'm here.

I am the one who protects the emergency room.

Chairman Shin is coming down.

-Ms. Oh, let's go. -Okay.

See you later, guys.

I'm getting nervous.

I can do this.

-We can do this. -We can do this.

We have an emergency patient.

He appears to have abdominal pain.

That's early.

Dr. Woo, what are you doing?

Yes, Dr. Jeong.

Aren't you checking the patient?

I always give young doctors a chance to examine patients first.

What a nice way to make an excuse.

Who will ever understand my true intention?

Hey, honey.

Sir, what's troubling you?

I have a heartburn.

-How long have you had it? -I have had it once in a while

since a couple of months ago. I had a drink last night

and my stomach started hurting this morning.

Did you vomit or have diarrhea?

I felt nauseous, but I didn't throw up.

I'll examine your abdomen first.

He has severe oppressive pain.

His abdomen is too hard, too.

Is it ulcer perforation?

ULCER PERFORATION: PERFORATED ULCER

Sir, we'll give you an analgesic and take an X-ray.

Inject 1 ampule of pantoprazole and 1 ampule of tramadol, please.

Yes, Dr. Woo.

Chairman Shin, we'll put you under anesthesia now.

Think it as a good, long nap.

It will be after the surgery is over by the time you wake up.

Everyone,

thank you in advance.

Please inject 120mg of propofol

and 40mg of rocuronium.

Yes, Dr. Nam.

Has it begun?

Yes, they just put him under anesthesia.

For those who haven't had breakfast yet,

we prepared refreshments such as bread, coffee, and drinks.

Please raise your hand if you'd like some,

and I will serve you.

Who would like some coffee, tea, bread, or drinks?

Thank you.

By the way, I heard that your son

will also participate in this surgery.

I'm sure he'll just observe it.

What would he be able to do?

Start from an incision to the cannulation.

And set up the heart-lung machine, too.

Our target time for all these procedures is two hours.

Be on standby and come in once I call you, okay?

Yes, Teacher Kim.

-That really is Bu Yong-ju. -That's him.

-I haven't seen him in ten years. -Exactly.

I think he's been working here ever since.

He's starting the surgery.

You finally showed up.

Dr. Bu Yong-ju.

We'll conduct a time-out.

Shin Myeong-ho. 72-year-old male.

With a median sternotomy,

we will begin the artificial heart replacement surgery.

I'm the lead surgeon, Teacher Kim.

The first assistant is Dr. Yun Seo-jeong.

Scrub nurses are Ms. Oh Myeong-sim and Mr. Park Eun-tak.

The anesthesiologist is Dr. Nam Do-il.

The perfusionist is Mr. Park Jong-cheol.

Everyone, are you ready?

Let's make it work.

Scalpel.

Gauze.

Wire holder.

Why is it tied so tightly?

Needle holder.

Saw, please.

-Needle holder again. -Needle holder.

-Let's open it now. -Retractor.

The adhesion is more severe than I expected.

Clamp.

Hold this.

It'll be difficult to tell them apart because of the adhesion,

but this is the aorta.

-It seems weak, so pull it gently. -Yes, sir.

Teacher Kim, his SBP dropped to 60s.

His cerebral oximetry is dropping below 40.

I'll increase it and start transfusing blood.

-Okay. -I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry, Teacher Kim.

It's okay. Stay calm.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Yun.

Dr. Yun, look at me!

It's okay.

We still have enough time. Don't panic.

In order to finish in six hours...

That means we can't afford to touch a single artery

while excoriating the tissue through sternotomy and cannulation.

Even then, we'd barely be able to finish in time.

Dr. Yun, stay focused.

Focus.

Yes.

Prolene number four.

He still has amazing techniques.

Did I see wrong?

My eyes are getting old.

-Cut. -Cutting.

How many minutes did we lose?

At least 10 to 12 minutes.

Dr. Kang, we have an emergency.

You need to come take a look at this.

I think it's ulcer perforation.

-Ulcer perforation? -Hey.

If that's the case, shouldn't we undergo an operation right away?

Suction, please.

Six hours.

I have to finish the operation in six hours.

How much time do we have until we go in?

About an hour to an hour and 20 minutes.

Can we finish an operation

for ulcer perforation in an hour?

No matter what happens,

I have to finish in six hours.
