Can you tell me?

Why did you

push my father's operation back?

I'm asking you. Why did you push my father's operation back?

I just heard

that the hospital would take care of it. That's all I know.

Why?

Was there anything else?

I heard the amount of the damage was

around 200 million won.

Right. It was about that.

It was 14 years ago

and it was an obscene amount of money back then.

Did they let it slide without charging you any of it?

We were investigated by the police, though.

In the meantime, we were informed of their decision.

They said they'd drop the charges and wouldn't seek compensation.

All of a sudden?

Did they say that with no apparent reason or trigger?

Well,

maybe that was because my husband died in the hospital

or my son was too young.

Things just worked out like that.

That's all I know and nothing more.

I see.

Okay.

Thank you anyway.

Right.

-What is your son's name? -Pardon?

He's Kang Dong-ju, right?

He used to work at Geosan Medical Center,

and he is now working as a surgeon at Doldam Hospital.

Do you know what the easiest thing in this world is?

It's breaking a relationship.

It doesn't require

any money nor effort.

You can do it with a single word.

"You are being

fooled right now."

Did you know

the patient whose operation was pushed back

was my father?

Did you know that?

Yes, I remember that operation.

I was on duty that night.

Two patients with dissection and cardiac infarction

came in five minutes apart.

Then...

was that you

who pushed my father's operation back for a VIP patient?

Was it you,

not President Do?

Yes.

It was my decision.

The risk of death for a patient

with acute aortic dissection rises by one percent every hour.

There was a patient with cardiac infarction

whose probability of dying within one hour was 99 percent

and a patient with dissection whose probability rises gradually.

They both came to the hospital five minutes apart.

If you were there,

which patient would you operate on first, Dong-ju?

It was not because he was a VIP patient.

I made that decision

in the order of emergency.

That's the truth.

Did you call Dr. Yang at Jeongil Hospital?

Yes.

He said he'd be here in ten minutes.

Ask Dr. Nam

to take care of the patient with colitis.

Dr. Yang will treat the patient with aortic dissection.

Yes, Teacher Kim. I will go tell them.

Do you think

you can operate with the state you're in right now?

If you can't,

ask Dr. Do to perform it.

I will do it.

I will perform the operation.

Are you sure? Can you do that?

Don't worry about me.

You should focus on treating

the patient with dissection.

Dr. Kang.

Okay.

I will do so.

Ms. Oh.

Can you go with him?

Please do me a favor.

Okay.

Are you all right, Dong-ju?

Dad.

Dad!

Why?

Why?

-Cut. -Cut.

I'm nothing without my romantic view of life.

-Great job. -What?

Why?

Dong-ju,

are you really okay?

Let me finish the operation first.

I'll see if I'm okay or not

after I'm done with the operation.

I will decide if we should a use stomy or not

after excising the intestine

with necrosis. Scalpel.

What are you doing not treating an injured person?

We have other urgent patients.

There's glass stuck in my husband's tummy.

What's more urgent than this?

Your husband is urgent, too.

But as emergency room staff, we have no say in the order of operations.

Transfer him to another hospital if you're not going to operate on him.

Within an hour radius from here, there aren't other hospitals

that can perform surgeries.

We've been here for over an hour!

Dr. Kang, Dr. Jeong is calling.

What is it, In-su?

Dr. Kang.

How much longer do you think your operation will take?

-Why? -The patient with a penetrated abdomen.

His guardian is very upset.

She's saying we're neglecting him when we said we'll operate on him.

Could you hurry up?

I told you to explain to her that there's a more urgent situation.

I did, but she's still upset.

Even if I finish as quickly as I can, it'll take another hour.

I suppose so. You just opened him up.

All right, then.

This is ridiculous.

Dr. Kang. Don't rush and take your time.

If Teacher Kim finishes early, he will perform the operation.

No, I'll do it.

We'll have to dissect this much.

I have to hurry. Bovie.

Hey.

Pad.

Where is it coming from?

I think I touched one of the mesenteric arteries.

Hemostatic forceps.

I'll hold it with the forceps. Get ready to tie it.

Teacher Kim, Dr. Jeong from ER

is asking about the progress of the aortic dissection operation.

The guardian of the abdomen penetration injury patient

is making complaints asking why we're not operating on him.

Pump on.

Tie.

Teacher Kim?

-Cut. -Cut.

-Cut. -Cut.

Okay.

What should I do next?

Wait for the body temperature to fall

and commence circulatory arrest.

We wait until the temperature falls to 24 degrees.

Yes, Teacher Kim.

Teacher Kim's operation doesn't look like finishing soon.

He hates it when he gets interrupted in the middle of an operation.

Does he?

Are you not listening?

How long are you going to keep him like that? I'm going crazy.

-I'm about to go crazy. -A doctor just went to ask.

Gosh.

What's taking you so long?

I found it.

Tie.

-Cut. -Cut.

Releasing the forceps.

There's no bleeding.

How are his vital sings?

His heart rate got faster,

but it's fine. We should continue.

Resuming to functional end to end. GIA.

FUNCTION END TO END: TYPE OF GASTROINTESTINAL ANASTOMOSIS

Commencing arrest.

We won't be applying selective perfusion today.

We have to finish in 30 minutes.

Pump on.

Give me GIA again.

Cut.

Suction.

Metzembaum.

Specimen.

Specimen.

-Babcock forceps. -One more, please.

Graft.

Cut.

-Cut. -Cut.

Cut.

Get the Hemovac ready, please.

Irrigation.

-Cut. -Cut.

All right. Clamps.

Pump slowly.

I'll insert Hemovac and finish up.

Full flow.

Raise the body temperature please.

-It took 28 minutes, Doctor. -Okay.

You failed to disappoint me yet again, Dr. Kang.

I'll finish up in 10 minutes

and proceed with the abdomen penetrating injury patient.

Please tell them to prepare the next patient.

Okay.

-Cut. -Cut.

Dr. Yun.

The proximal is ready to be tied up. Come here and do it.

You want me to do it?

We have a lot of time until the body temperature rises.

Take your time and do it with precision.

I'll assist you. Come over here.

Prolene number four.

-Cut. -Cut.

-Cut. -Cut.

Okay.

Now, release the air and release the clamps.

Clamps off.

Good job.

-The operation went well. -I see.

Blocked blood vessels resulted in intestine necrosis.

We had to cut 30cm of it out.

That much?

We should wait and see how things go while putting him under medication.

-Thank you. -Well then.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

The operation went well, right?

Yes.

When I was signing the surgery consent,

they said it could take up to two hours or more,

but you finished in less than an hour and a half.

I was wondering--

The duration of the operation doesn't matter that much.

We tried our best

and the operation was a success.

-Thank you. -Excuse me.

He'll be all right.

You get

more patients than I thought.

You didn't know?

This hospital

is pretty famous

around here.

The doctors are skilled.

And sometimes

they let you put it on your tab.

You must have

had heart surgery.

What?

How did you know that?

I have a bad heart, too.

I can tell.

RESTRICTED AREA

CT scan shows his bowel injury isn't severe.

-We'll suture him up and finish. -Okay.

Let us begin. Scalpel.

It's all cold now.

MOM

Hello?

Hello?

Isn't this Kang Dong-ju's phone?

Yes, it's Dong-ju's phone.

Hello, it's me. Seo-jeong.

I see.

It's you, Seo-jeong.

Dong-ju is in an operation.

Is this urgent?

No, it's not like that. I just...

Is Dong-ju doing okay?

Of course. He's fine.

That's all, then.

-It's been a while, so I called. -I see.

Right.

What happened to the side dishes

I brought the last time?

The side dishes and kimchi, right?

We finished them a while ago.

Actually, I ate most of them because they were so good.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I mean, ma'am.

No, Mother?

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure how I should address you.

You should call me Mother.

"Ma'am" sounds

-a bit too cold. -Right?

It's a bit cold, Mother. Right?

Should I send some more side dishes?

Really?

The burdock dish was delicious.

Really? What else?

I liked stir-fried anchovies and stir-fried fish cakes.

Do you like beans cooked in soy sauce?

Really? I love them.

Oh, corns are very famous here in Gangwon Province.

Should I send some over?

I feel bad that I'm only taking food from you.

DONG-JU DUMPLINGS

Really? Okay.

DONG-JU DUMPLINGS

Okay, that sounds good.

Is that why you helped me that day?

When I turned the ER upside down.

Did you know I was the patient's son who died because of your priorities?

Is that why you were kind enough

to treat me, too?

What do you want to hear from me?

Have you ever

regretted the decision

you made at that time?

In the end, someone died because of your decision.

Have you ever

regretted the decision?

There's a patient dying right in front of you.

Then there is a patient you are not sure about.

Which one am I to choose?

Even when I think about it now, when much time has passed,

I believe the choice I made was an inevitable one.

I see.

But why do I feel so awful?

I understand

what you are saying with my head.

But why do I feel like I've been fooled?

The doctor side of me

can understand why you had to make that choice.

But as a son,

I can't help but feel more upset.

That's not for you to ask me.

I think you should be asking that question to yourself.

You are no longer

a helpless kid who lost his father.

You're a doctor.

Why did you say that to Dong-ju?

-What? -You did not know

that the dissection patient

had come in before.

You went into the VIP's surgery without knowing that.

Even if I knew,

my choice would have been the same.

Telling him that I didn't know

won't comfort him a bit.

It would only sound like an excuse.

What if

he turns his back on you for good?

He finally became a doctor worth keeping.

Sometimes it's better to face what you have to face

instead of finding out the truth which sounds more like an excuse.

GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER

The marketing team put together these articles.

Okay, release them.

Yes, sir.

GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER SUCCESSFULLY REPLACES AN ARTIFICIAL HEART

GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER SUCCESSFULLY REPLACES AN ARTIFICIAL HEART

President Do is really something.

He betrayed them just like this.

President Yeo.

Look at this article. President Do is playing dirty.

Does this make any sense?

GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER SUCCESSFULLY REPLACES AN ARTIFICIAL HEART

THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL ARTIFICIAL HEART REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN KOREA

I'm sorry, we're not open yet.

It's been a while, Ms. Noh.

Do you remember me?

Who are you?

I'm reporter Oh Seong-jae, who covered the case

of Jang Hyeon-ju 14 years ago.

You were reading that article.

That surgery was

actually done by Dr. Bu Yong-ju.

But it's odd, isn't it?

Dr. Bu Yong-ju did the surgery,

but his name is nowhere to be found in that article.

14 years ago,

he covered up everything as Dr. Bu's fault,

and now his name is nowhere to be found.

What do you think?

I have nothing to say.

I won't write any articles.

I have no voice recorders.

I won't write it in my note, either.

Can you

tell me what exactly happened on that day?

Tell me the truth.

Why is that so important?

The important thing is to stop the rumors.

Think about those ill-rumors about Chairman Shin.

I can't overlook those.

I also can't bring out Doldam Hospital

for the sake of media exposure.

But still, how can you steal Teacher Kim's work like this?

Don't be disappointed, President Yeo.

We have included the names of other surgery staff members

in that article.

I am thinking about rewarding

those staff members in a separate occasion.

If we can,

I am considering

bringing them to Geosan Medical Center.

Goodbye, then.

I'm a bit busy.

What does he mean?

How can he take them all?

What about Doldam Hospital?

Basically, we are doomed.

That's what I'm saying.

It's like Teacher Kim beats the bush

and Geosan Medical Center catches the birds.

They are stealing the young competent doctors

whom Teacher Kim has taught.

Something must be done here. Don't you think so?

Like what?

We should tell Teacher Kim all about it first.

He already knows.

Does he?

What did he say?

Just forget about it.

How can I forget about it?

It's like

one man sows and another man reaps.

Why should that worry you?

Our hospital is already full of patients.

We don't have

enough beds in the ICU anyway.

Teacher Kim!

Do you know

what the best thing I've done in my life is?

The fact that I gave up my real name, Bu Yong-ju.

It took a load off my shoulders.

I was set free after emptying my mind

and dream of success.

I'm much happier with the way I'm living my life now.

Teacher Kim, still!

All of us?

Yes. President Do invited

all of you.

He'd like to praise all of you for your hard work.

So I hope every single one of you will come. Okay?

Is Teacher Kim coming, too?

Do you think Teacher Kim would accept President Do's invitation?

Of course not.

Then I won't attend.

There's no reason to go there.

I didn't even participate in the operation. I'm sorry.

The three of you are the key figures anyway.

You are coming, right?

Dr. Song, what about me?

Right. I want you to be on duty in the emergency room

while they are out of the hospital. Okay?

Okay.

I'm afraid I can't be there.

I have patients to take care of.

Dong-ju.

We can't do this without you.

I should go treat Chairman Shin.

I can't leave the hospital.

Dr. Yun.

You can't do this.

What? Dr. Do, are you leaving, too?

I can't go there alone.

I don't think that is what my dad really wants.

Gosh.

This is not the way it's supposed to be.

-Hey! -Dr. Song.

He's treating me like I'm not around.

Am I invisible or what?

When do I get to go home?

Why aren't you answering me?

Until when are you going to neglect my husband just like that?

Ma'am, we are not neglecting your husband.

He's supposed to be

in the Intensive Care Unit after the operation.

Why do you let him stay in there instead?

Like I said, we don't have a bed available in the ICU yet.

That's enough.

Where's my husband's doctor?

I need to talk to the doctor.

Did you make up with Teacher Kim yet?

You don't want to talk about that, right?

I get it.

By the way, your mother just called.

She asked if you were doing okay.

Did you talk to my mother on the phone?

Yes.

I heard your phone ringing.

I was going to tell her you were in the operating room.

Was there anything else apart from that?

She talked about some side dishes

and corns?

Can you have a conversation about those things?

Of course.

Why?

Dr. Kang. We have a problem. A patient is having a fit.

What happened?

He started writhing all of a sudden. It seems he's having a fit.

Administer 4mg of lorazepam through IV line.

Okay.

Administered.

-He suffers from alcoholism, right? -Yes.

I think it is delirium tremens.

DELIRIUM TREMENS: DELIRIUM DUE TO WITHDRAWAL

Dr. Kang, his heart rate is 180.

Administer another ampule of lorazepam.

Okay.

His heart rate is not dropping.

Administer another ampule of lorazepam

-and inject 200mg of phenobarbital. -Okay.

Inject 100mg of scyamine, too.

Okay.

Sir. Sir!

No...

-Ma'am, may I speak-- -What's wrong with my husband?

Did something happen to where you operated on yesterday?

No, ma'am. There's nothing wrong with that.

But

he's showing serious alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

It's called delirium tremens.

Delirium tremens?

We are trying to control it with medication.

But it's not working well.

If the condition continues,

-he may have a cardiac arrest. -Goodness.

Please save my husband.

He's not a good husband, but I can't live without him.

-Ma'am-- -There you are.

Look, until when are you going to neglect my husband in the ER?

-Pardon? -I mean,

I'm already upset with the fact that his operation was pushed back.

and now he can't be treated in the ICU?

Ma'am,

didn't the head nurse explain about that?

We don't have any bed available in the ICU now.

We have patients who had an operation before your husband.

And they both are in a critical condition.

Then you shouldn't have accepted a patient in the first place.

We had no choice as two emergency patients came in at the same time.

We asked for your understanding already.

And your husband is making good progress after the operation.

So we were going to move him to a patient's room anyway.

Forget it.

Send my husband to the Intensive Care Unit now.

-Right now. -Excuse me.

-This is just too much. -What did you say?

My husband didn't even get

a proper operation because of your husband.

And now you want to take his bed in the ICU?

What do you mean by that?

I heard what the doctors said yesterday.

I heard that

you'd give my husband's operation a lick and a promise because of him.

Gosh, what are you talking about?

My husband's operation was pushed back because of your husband.

You are the one who cut in line.

-What did you way? -Don't be ridiculous.

-Excuse me. -What's that?

Calm down.

Ma'am, there seems to be some misunderstanding.

I never give an operation a lick and a promise.

I told you that we did our best.

Ma'am.

It's a doctor who determines the order of emergency.

That's it. That's enough.

Just send my husband to the Intensive Care Unit right now.

Otherwise, I will sue this hospital.

Move him immediately.

Dr. Kang. He's having a cardiac arrest.

My goodness.

It's VPB. Hurry and bring a defibrillator.

Okay.

Oh, my goodness.

Let me.

Charge 200J.

Step away. Clear.

Gosh.

Give him 1mg of epinephrine every 3 minutes.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll check his heart rhythm.

-Ventricular fibrillation. -Charge 200J.

Clear.

What's going on with him?

-I will switch with him. -Okay.

Honey.

It's been almost an hour.

We've been giving him epinephrine, right?

Dr. Kang.

Honey.

Patient Lee Dong-su

has passed away.

No.

No.

Why did you say he needs operation

if you weren't even going to save him?

If you performed the operation well,

my husband wouldn't have died.

Bring him back.

Bring my husband back now.

Now.

Doctor.

It wasn't because of the operation. It was because of alcohol.

He died of delirium tremens.

He walked in here just yesterday.

This can't just happen overnight.

Please.

Bring him back.

Bring my husband back.

Please.

Please bring him back, Doctor.

Please calm down.

We will give you time to say goodbye to him.

You should say your last farewell.

Honey.

I guess, now,

your husband can be moved to the ICU.

What was with your attitude back there?

Why would you get angry with the guardians?

She kept doubting the operation I performed.

I tried my absolute best.

I tried my absolute best to find the bowel infarction

and I tried my absolute best to remove that piece of glass.

It's not my fault that the ICU is full.

It's not my fault that he drank a lot.

Why would she put the blame on my operation? Why?

I know.

You want to yell at me like I did.

You want to say

you had no other option to make that decision about my dad.

That you tried your absolute best as a doctor.

And that I shouldn't blame you.

That's probably what you're thinking right now.

I know that very well.

I know very well and the anger is driving me insane.

I want to blame you so much,

but I can't anymore.

Because I'm a doctor.

Do you know

what surgeons hear the most often?

They ask us why we operated on them if we weren't even going to save them.

Do you know what the second most one is?

That the patient was fine before the operation,

but the operation worsened the condition.

What we do here

is to save lives.

But inevitably,

we have to take criticism and blame

at the same time.

After all,

we're cutting people with knives.

As soon as you get yourself together,

go back there and apologize to them.

Doing that concludes the treatment.

Do you understand?

I'm sorry.

I can't

accept that right now.

Dr. Kang.

May I have a word with you?

Dr. Bu Yong-ju didn't do anything wrong.

If he didn't do anything wrong,

why did he get kicked out of the hospital in such fashion?

It was probably because he felt responsible.

What do you mean, you'll fight against the hospital?

If I back down like this without saying anything,

you will never realize it.

What you did wrong

and why you should never do something like that again.

So

if we fight,

do you think you'll win?

Do you think

I can't?

You'll get hurt.

I'm not scared.

Not you.

The seven staff members who operated for you.

GEOSAN UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

No matter how much noise you make,

you won't be able to touch me.

The person who will get hurt and kicked out

will be those seven staff members.

Which hospital do you think will hire

medical staff with such scarlet letter?

Are you sure

you can be responsible for all of their lives?

Among them, three are heads of their households with family to feed.

So keep your mouth shut and leave.

If you just disappear,

those seven people can live in peace.

What do you say?

So because of

those seven people,

Dr. Bu Yong-ju took all the blame

and left the hospital?

Yes.

As far as I know.

Why are you telling me

something like that?

What does Teacher Kim's past

have to do with me?

Other than those seven people,

Yong-ju covered for

one another person.

On the day of Jang Hyeon-ju's funeral,

some middle-schooler barged into the ER

and created a scene.

The hospital charged that kid's mother

with all kinds of claims including property damage.

The kid's mother was charged with 200 million won.

They even tried to

push criminal charges against that kid.

Because he was over 14 years of age,

it was definitely possible.

What are you

talking about right now?

Have you never found it curious?

How could nothing have happened

after causing such a scene?

Back then,

we weren't courageous.

No.

Cowardly fits better.

We were relieved

that Dr. Bu Yong-ju took all the blame

and left the hospital.

Let me ask you one more thing.

If Bu Yong-ju wasn't the person

who made someone else to operate, then who was it?

The person who was vice president at that time.

Him.

If you find out the truth,

do you have the courage to tell it to the world?

Why don't you take the opportunity

to realize justice?

THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO PERFORMED GHOST SURGERY

OPERATION RECORD NAME: JANG HYEON-JU

What is this?

They're the patients who were operated by ghost surgeons.

Some of them know that their surgeries were performed

by a ghost surgery.

You can also see the amount of hush money Geosan Medical Center gave them

right before the lawsuit.

Why did you give this to me?

The statute of limitations on this case has expired,

so there's nothing you can do.

Still, it can be

a useful weapon against President Do.

Congratulations on your return.

Bye, then.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Even though I couldn't tell the truth to the world,

I wanted to give this to the person who should know the truth.

Honey, you'll be all right. Don't worry, okay?

I'll be waiting here.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

I am sorry.

I apologize

for what I said before.

However,

I hope you know this one thing.

Every patient in Doldam Hospital

is treated equally.

The doctors here are more sincere than anyone else

about saving our patients.

I never said that you weren't sincere.

I don't know why you're talking about something I didn't say.

Gosh.

You did well.

Hi, Dr. Yun. Can I see you for a second?

I don't think this is the right way to handle the situation.

President Do arranged the celebratory event for you guys.

I don't know about the others,

but you shouldn't do that to President Do.

Even so, Teacher Kim is not going to attend the event.

We can't go there by ourselves.

Goodness.

He wouldn't attend it even if he was invited.

-Invited to what? -Oh, gosh.

What would I not attend even if I was invited?

President Do invited

all the staff members of Chairman Shin's surgery

to Seoul today.

-Why did he do that? -Why do you think?

It's out of his appreciation for the hard work they've done.

Wasn't the media manipulation enough for him?

Why would he make them go to Seoul? They're busy!

Please don't be like that.

They can't say they will go even though they want to

because they don't want to upset you.

Seo-jeong.

-Are you not going because of me? -No.

It's not like that.

See? She is obviously trying not to upset you.

That's not true, Dr. Song.

Don't be like that and tell everyone that you don't mind.

Let them go if they want.

In fact, Ms. Oh and Mr. Park are invited as well.

But since they're on your side, they wouldn't accept the invitation.

Then, why have I not been invited?

What?

You said it's a celebration for Chairman Shin's surgery.

I was the lead surgeon of that surgery.

Why did he leave me out?

Stop it. You wouldn't attend it even if you were invited.

Invite me to see if I go or not.

Pardon?

I said, try inviting me.

Would you like to come?

-Sure. -Sorry?

Dr. Yun, you're going with me.

It would be good to go to Seoul for a change.

You don't mind, do you?

No, I don't.

Hold on a second.

I wonder if Ms. Oh has free time.

Move aside.

What has gotten into him?

-Pardon? -Pardon?

Why are you so surprised?

Geosan Medical Center invited us to congratulate us.

We should all go to Seoul and receive congratulations.

Ms. Oh, please go with me.

-Dr. Nam. -Yes?

You, too.

Manager Jang, would you like to join us?

-Can I come, too? -Dr. Do.

You're going, too.

What about the emergency room?

We have Dr. Jeong and Dr. Woo.

The GS on call

will be Dr. Song.

Me? I have to go to Seoul with you. What are you talking about?

Did you perform Chairman Shin's surgery?

No, I didn't, but--

So you should stay at the hospital.

Only then, we can go.

Dr. Kang.

You will go with us, right?

Yes, I will.

I'm going with you.

If you go,

I will go, too.

This is good. We could use a trip to Seoul for a change.

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

What should I do?
