THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL ARTIFICIAL HEART REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN KOREA

"The first

successful artificial heart replacement surgery in Korea."

Why are you here?

I thought it was a party for the artificial heart implant.

I should be here.

We are the heroes and heroines of this surgery.

What's the meaning of this?

So what?

-Are you trying to fight me? -What's wrong?

Are you scared?

The way things are turning out seems to be serious.

I agree.

It seems Teacher Kim will pick a fight with President Do.

Do you think I should call the police?

Keep quiet, you two.

Excuse me.

Teacher Kim, go get them!

I'm watching you.

I just said hi.

It's a surprise that you are here,

Anyway, I'm glad you came.

You made an appearance at this party

because you want to get credit for the surgery.

I will give you credit for that.

What nonsense is this?

We don't need to fight anymore.

I'm still the top figure in this hospital.

And

you are the best surgeon who is back after many storms of life.

Moreover, you have

successfully performed the heart surgery on the chairman.

Now that the dramatic conditions are all set,

we are just ready to go.

Act wisely. You should

pursue symbiosis instead of division.

Symbiosis, my foot.

Do you even know what symbiosis means?

It's a win-win situation.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

Basically

you should make a decision for both our sakes.

But you will keep all the birds to yourself.

It means extinction, not symbiosis.

What?

Then again,

you're not the only scumbag here.

I am also a scumbag for closing my eyes,

closing my ears, and shutting up

for you to live a comfortable life.

-What did he say? -Who is that?

Please watch your language, Bu Yong-ju.

This is a public place.

Until now,

I thought it's the best for me to stay away from guys like you.

I thought you would fall in grave peril after a while.

I wanted to not care.

I thought I'd just live my life

instead of caring about yours.

I was too tired to do that,

and I was also busy making a life for myself.

That's why I shut my ears and closed my eyes

about the things you have done.

That's why I stayed silent and ignorant.

However,

I don't think I can let this go on.

That's why

I won't do that from now on.

If you won't,

what can you do?

First.

Something I couldn't correct 14 years ago.

Let's start from there.

THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO PERFORMED GHOST SURGERY

Do you think you can tie me down

with these documents that have no legal power?

At least it can work as an obstacle for you to be reappointed.

Morally and ethically.

What?

Are you scared now?

Trauma center.

Is that all you want?

-What? -Once I become reappointed,

I will seriously consider turning Doldam Hospital

into a trauma center.

I'll get all of my connections and see if you can get

any government support--

Do you not even understand what I'm saying?

How dare you try to bargain your way out?

Isn't this what you want?

That's why you're threatening me.

You leave me speechless.

Hey.

Do you know

what kids nowadays say about guys like you?

Dead end.

It means you got no way out.

So what do you want?

-What is going on? -Did he just shout at him?

Tell me what you want.

Just

shut up

and step down quietly!

Don't stay in your post in such disgrace.

Then clean up

after yourself.

Understood?

Doctor.

Your artificial heart replacement surgery was the best.

I really respect you. Will you return to Geosan Medical Center?

Doctor, may I get an autograph?

Forget about it.

-I have to go. -Can I take a picture with you?

I have to go.

No, I have to go.

-Just one picture. -Let me go.

My goodness, move.

-Please. -I respect you, Doctor.

Everyone, move away.

I'm fed up with you.

How can you do this to me?

This is what justice looks like, you scum!

What did you say?

You scum!

Oh, no.

Father!

Teacher Kim!

Father.

Teacher Kim!

Teacher Kim.

Teacher Kim.

What's the case?

Oh, Dr. Yun.

-Mr. Nam. -It's been so long.

-Dr. Kang is here, too. -Yes.

Is someone hurt?

He's the chief surgeon of Doldam Hospital.

He hurt his head and hand at the celebratory event.

I see. This way.

Hey.

This is how far we go.

Oh, it's not our hospital. I forgot.

Aren't you Dr. Yun?

Hey, Dr. Lee.

-It's been a while. -What brings you here?

Well, it's...

This is Dr. Bu Yong-ju.

An ice sculpture came down on him and he hurt his head

and his hand.

Let me take a look.

His head injury isn't too severe,

so let's take an X-ray of his wrist first.

Don't you know him?

He's Dr. Kang Dong-ju. He used to be a surgeon here.

I think I heard of him.

You're two years junior, aren't you?

Let's get that X-ray first.

Okay.

-Mr. Nam, please proceed it. -Okay.

Where's that patient?

RESTRICTED AREA

THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL ARTIFICIAL HEART REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN KOREA

THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO PERFORMED GHOST SURGERY

President Do, please.

Why don't you take a CT scan and an X-ray

of your shoulder and head?

I'm fine. Get to the treatment.

Yes, sir.

Never mind, get out.

-But you're bleeding, President Do. -Forget about it and leave!

Everyone, please leave.

Give me your hand.

I'll disinfect the area first.

Teacher Kim.

Are you okay? Are you awake?

Teacher Kim.

Where am I?

We came to Geosan Medical Center's emergency room.

You got hurt because of the ice sculpture.

I applied an ice pack because it's really swollen.

I have the result of his X-ray.

-How did it turn out? -How did it turn out?

Guys.

Wait outside the room.

-Teacher Kim. -Teacher Kim.

I will hear the result. Step outside.

Now.

How did it go? How's Teacher Kim?

We just got the result of his X-ray, but he wants us to wait outside.

But you can't leave him alone in there.

You should hear the result with him.

That's what I wanted to do,

but he doesn't listen to me.

I guess it will take a while.

I think you should go for dinner first.

-Okay then. -Don't be absurd.

How can we eat dinner when someone is injured?

He doesn't look good.

Is something wrong?

Hello.

-Dr. Yun. -Yes?

Ms. Jin.

I saw you came here with Dr. Kang Dong-ju.

Right. I work with him at Doldam Hospital.

I see.

You suddenly disappeared after the accident five years ago.

I've been wondering about you since then.

I have

been doing pretty well.

I met nice people at a good hospital.

I even met a nice mentor.

And you met Dr. Kang again there. Right?

All the nurses in the emergency room knew that

Dr. Kang had a huge crush on you.

Really?

I got a call.

GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY ROOM

Is he your son?

Yes.

He's five years old.

He looks like his father.

He must be so cute. He's only five years old.

I want you to be happy.

Thanks.

I hope you are happy, too.

Thanks.

I want you to come back to Geosan Medical Center.

Despite all that happened,

I bet you've learned a lot

by taking part in the artificial heart replacement surgery.

That's enough.

-Come back to Geosan Medical Center. -I think

I'm very lucky

that I'm your son.

I was proud

to be called as your son rather than my name.

Your name gave me

good qualifications.

After I was transferred to Doldam Hospital,

I was called by my name for the first time.

At first, I was confused

and felt bad about that.

Your name didn't work there.

I felt that way at first.

But it made me

see who I really am for the first time.

I could see what my life was like

without your name.

I realized what it was.

What are you trying to say?

I want to

live up to my name for a while.

I want to be myself.

Not your son.

I want to live as Do In-beom.

Are you saying

you want to stay at Doldam Hospital?

Yes, I am.

Stop talking nonsense and come back.

No.

I won't do that.

Are you

trying to

disobey your father?

I'm just saying

everything in my house is my business.

Father.

Make sure to take anti-inflammatory pills.

Come over here now.

In-beom.

In-beom!

This is good.

Pizza tastes pretty good with beer.

I'm glad you like it.

Don't worry about Teacher Kim.

Being worried about him wouldn't make things better.

How can I not worry about him? He's a surgeon, and he hurt his wrist.

It won't be a big deal.

Don't worry. Let's just eat.

That's what I'm saying. The power of optimism.

Skipping a meal is no good for people at our age.

Your blood sugar will drop,

and you will have a nervous temperament.

Try this. It's pretty good.

By the way, it's taking quite a while.

I know. Do you think it's serious?

What do you think?

It's taking so long.

-Is it that bad? -Do you think so?

Did you see that? He's a neurosurgeon.

I did. Was there an orthopedist, too?

Yes, there was.

Why were they here?

-Is he seriously injured? -Don't say that.

I'm sure it's just a simple contusion.

-Excuse me. -Excuse me.

How is Teacher Kim?

Is his wrist okay?

Go ask him yourself.

I'm not supposed to say anything about a patient.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Do we have a patient early in the morning?

We have an emergency patient. He's looking for Teacher Kim.

He says he's a singer.

Singer who?

He says his name is Nam Jin or something.

Nam Jin?

Is Nam Jin in our hospital?

Who's Nam Jin?

Well, I'm not sure.

How may I help you?

Are you Teacher Kim?

No, I'm not.

But I'm also a chief surgeon.

May I take a look at the patient?

He's a bit shy.

It has to be Teacher Kim.

I'm just as good as Teacher Kim.

-Let's take a look. -Hey.

We'll wait around until Teacher Kim comes.

Is it really that singer, Nam Jin?

Nam Jin?

-Is the singer Nam Jin here? -Yes.

He's asking only for Teacher Kim.

He's here, right?

This is Teacher Kim.

-May we see the patient now? -Oh, it's you.

Please do take a good care of him.

Hey, Teacher Kim is here.

I thought it was Nam Jin.

I look just like him, don't I?

He's Nam Jin's cover singer,

Neom Jin.

His illness kicked in again while he was doing a show.

My gosh.

It's the famous Teacher Kim.

I went into a relapse.

I can't even sit right anymore.

My goodness.

What is it? What's your illness?

Look at me.

I'm sitting on my side.

I'm suffering from hemorrhoids.

How long has it been?

-How long? -It's been about two to three years--

No, not you.

This guy. You have a bad case of jaundice.

What?

Me?

He's always been that yellow.

-He's born yellow. -Haven't you been

very tired recently?

Well, my job itself is something that's restless

and something very tiring.

Excuse me for a second.

Can you look above?

When did you eat last?

I had some bread and milk yesterday night.

You idiot.

This is all because you had too much banana milk.

Other than that. What else did you eat?

Just water.

I was out of my mind because he was very hurt since this morning.

Ms. Oh.

Can you take his blood test?

Also, take an X-ray, an ECG,

and a CT scan of his abdomen.

-Yes. -Wait, me?

I'm more concerned about--

No, we'll see the result of your blood test first.

We'll talk after that.

-And Dr. Song. -Yes?

You can take that Nam Jin guy.

Wait, was it Neom Jin?

This is annoying.

My goodness.

-Follow me. -Okay.

I'll be back, then.

-Hey. -My gosh.

Excuse me, take a look at me.

Sure.

What are you doing?

You've been doodling since this morning.

I'm drawing a picture.

-A picture? -Yes.

I used to be a webtoon artist.

I thought I'd draw

at least one more cut while I have the strength.

I don't know when I'll die soon.

So I don't know

what my last webtoon will be.

Chairman Shin, are you up?

-Yes. -How are you feeling today?

Oh, very well.

Good, very good.

We'll move you to a regular ward today.

Really?

My goodness. That's good news.

Yes.

You know what?

What about that young man?

Is he waiting for a heart implant as well?

Yes, but...

he can't get an implant right away.

Why not?

Most patients with cardiac failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

tend to have pulmonary hypertension. In that case,

there's a high chance the implant will fail. So we put LVAD on them

to drop their pulmonary hypertension.

Then he can do that. Can't he?

Why is he still there?

The surgery costs a fortune.

Not everyone is like you.

It's not a surgery everyone can receive.

Sir, the patient has a side effect.

-What did you give her? -Diclofenac.

Doctor, I can't breathe.

Give her 7L of oxygen

and hydrate her with a full drop.

Let's check her vitals.

It's 100 over 60, pulse 110.

Can you breathe in?

Give her 0.3ml of epinephrine.

Peniramin and dexamethasone, one ampule each.

-What is it? -A side effect of diclofenac.

Anaphylaxis?

She's not in shock, but she really can't breathe.

Ma'am, can you open your mouth?

-Prepare intubation just in case. -Okay.

It could have been really bad.

Did you treat the patient?

I did.

Dr. Woo. Did you check for her allergies?

Allergies?

Yes. I think so.

You think so?

If you did, you did. If you didn't, you didn't.

Well...

Do you have any allergies or side effects?

None.

I never even catch a cold.

I did check.

Are you sure?

Yes. The patient said she doesn't have any allergy herself.

Then why didn't you put it in her chart?

I was about to do it.

I asked her to do something, Dr. Do.

How can you become a doctor when you don't know the basics?

If you've seen a patient,

you should write it down first before you give an order.

You don't even remember what you just checked.

She's more flustered because you're cornering her.

Don't do it, In-beom.

Stop it.

What does that look like?

Is that pancreas head cancer?

What kind of a surgery can you do now?

Whipple's operation?

WHIPPLE'S OPERATION: SURGERY TO REMOVE PANCREATIC TUMORS

From the head of his pancreas, we'll cut through biliary tract,

gall bladder, and duodenum at once.

This is the essence of general surgery.

Have you done it?

I've assisted it a few times before I passed the board.

Do you want to do it?

-Me? -Yes.

What about you?

It'll be another two to three weeks until my wrist is fully healed.

No, I think it can take a bit longer than that.

As you can see from his blood test,

his jaundice level is too high.

You're right. It's over ten.

I don't think we can push back his surgery for more than a week.

I will guide the surgery. Do you want to do it?

Or should I let In-beom take it?

I'll do it.

Okay.

I'll give you three days to get ready. That's all.

Yes.

Teacher Kim.

Doesn't it seem like he's hiding something?

Hide what?

He did say his wound is a simple contusion.

But I'm afraid it may be a bit more severe.

You think?

-I'll get that, Teacher Kim. -Sure.

Did you want to see this?

Did Chairman Shin move to the regular ward?

-Yes, he did. -Okay.

Make sure you check in on him often

and see how he does.

Yes, I will.

Well, anyway, Teacher Kim.

-Can you turn the page? -Yes.

Did patient Jung Jin-yeong's infection get treated?

The infection is not getting any better because of the tube.

The fever even went up to 38 degrees yesterday.

I see.

-Teacher Kim. -I'm okay.

You keep staring at my wrist.

It's okay.

Can you tell me how serious it is?

-I can't. -Teacher Kim.

If I say it's okay, it's okay.

Do you understand?

Is it okay?

Do you think

my wrist will be fine?

The X-ray shows that the bones are knitted together well.

All you need is rehab exercise.

Then

can I work as a doctor?

Is it really okay?

If I say it is okay, it is okay.

Let me see.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Take your time.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, Teacher Kim.

It's okay. Stay calm.

Are you okay?

I said it's okay.

Okay. I understand.

Okay.

You can go now.

Okay.

-Teacher Kim. -What?

After I get on the emergency medicine board,

can I work with you at this hospital?

We will talk about that after you get on the board.

It's done.

CERTIFICATE OF MEDICAL SPECIALIST

YUN SEO-JEONG, EMERGENCY MEDICINE SPECIALIST

Can I work at Doldam Hospital now?

Teacher Kim.

I'm thinking about getting on the double board.

-Cut. -Cut.

What do you think is better for me? GS or CS?

-Cut. -Cut.

Stop being silly

and stick to your job.

Finish it off.

Yes, Teacher Kim.

I guess cardiothoracic surgery would be better. Don't you think?

Just stay focused.

Okay.

I'll choose cardiothoracic surgery.

Why are you doing this every time?

I'm doing this because you are being mean to her every time in front of patients.

Do you think I'm doing this for no reason?

I just want to teach my junior doctor a lesson.

If so, you can do that in private.

Look at you. You are trying to lecture a doctor.

I can lecture a doctor if he does something wrong.

-What did you say? -Stop it, Mr. Park.

What are you doing? Why are you two having an argument?

Are you having an argument with him? What's wrong?

What happened?

I feel so uncomfortable around him that I can't even do my job.

He doesn't allow me to teach my junior doctor.

He doesn't follow my order.

And he even lectures me about the way I work.

Did you do that?

He keeps bullying other people whenever he has a chance.

Is that true, In-beom? Did you bully him

whenever you had a chance? Why did you do that?

Look. I did that to Dr. Woo, not you.

Dr. Woo?

To put it crudely, it's none of your business

even if I bully Dr. Woo.

Are you her brother or something?

Or her boyfriend?

Well

that's not true.

-What do you think you are doing? -What?

I'm saying there's no need to fight,

but he keeps provoking Dr. Do.

I guess there's something going on, don't you think, Ms. Oh?

I think so. What do you think that is?

I'm sorry.

Do you like Dr. Woo by any chance?

What did you say?

What? That's not true.

There is nothing going on between Mr. Park and me.

Then why would he

get all worked up at In-beom?

-Don't you think that's weird? -Well...

I'm not sure.

Well, do you like In-beom?

What?

Are you in a love triangle?

I can't believe this.

That's ridiculous.

Then why are you

picking on Dr. Woo about every single thing?

I'm just doing the same thing

for you and Dr. Yun.

That's just my character. That's what I do.

So, are you saying that you don't have any feelings for Dr. Woo?

I don't have any feelings for her. She's not even my type.

I'm telling you. That's not true.

-Are you sure? -I'm sure.

In fact,

I like someone else.

Someone else?

-Who is that? -Who is that?

It's a surprise that you have an ideal type.

Who is your type?

You don't want to know that.

Gosh. Just tell me. Who's that?

Yun Seo-jeong.

Dr. Kang Dong-ju.

I see.

What did you just say?

Are you kidding me?

Seo-jeong, I need to talk to you.

Okay. I have something to tell you too.

I found out whom In-beom likes.

Who is that?

It's you.

He is out of his mind.

I also figured out the person whom Yeon-hwa likes.

Who is that? Is it In-beom?

-Is it Mr. Park? -It's you.

Me?

Do you think it can be a problem for us?

No. Not at all. What about you?

Me neither.

Okay then. I should go.

Seo-jeong.

What?

I love you.

Okay.

President Do.

The figures are all good.

You may be walking out of the room next week.

I heard you picked a fight

with President Do.

Is that why you hurt your wrist?

You sure find things out quickly.

Is it that hard for you

to settle your scores with him?

You two are old enough to stop that.

Haven't you had enough of it?

It's not about my personal feelings.

It is a matter of right and wrong.

Are you saying

you are right and he's wrong?

It's not that who's right and who's wrong.

I'm just saying

there are things we should do and we shouldn't do

as a doctor.

Chairman Shin, President Do is here.

What brought you here?

There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Chairman Shin, I should be going now.

Okay.

What's the matter?

-What are you doing? -Please help me, Chairman Shin.

You're well aware

of how much I sacrificed for Geosan Medical Center.

I have been more loyal

than anyone else to you and the foundation.

-President Do, listen. -It's not fair.

The evidence of the ghost surgery that Yong-ju showed

doesn't have legal force.

Besides, there's no way he can prove that it's true.

Whatever he tells you,

it's all a false accusation.

Everything he says is

his suspicion, assumption,

and speculation.

Listen to me.

Teacher Kim didn't say anything to me.

What are you talking about?

What is the ghost surgery and what doesn't have legal force?

Did you

do something illegal? Did you?

Tell me right now!

To Doldam Hospital!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

It feels so nice.

Everyone, may I have your attention?

This is a very happy event for Doldam Hospital.

We gathered to celebrate the successful heart surgery

of Chairman Shin in hopes of continued success of our hospital.

Please drink as much as you want and enjoy yourselves.

-Was it nice, President Yeo? -It was perfect.

That was exactly what I wanted to say.

I wish all of you health in this new year.

Let's make it work.

To all of you.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Here is your budaejjigae.

When did you cook all this?

You made fried chicken, seasoned sea snail, and jokbal.

I cooked the budaejjigae myself.

As for fried chicken, seasoned sea snail, and jokbal,

I got them delivered from a restaurant. So they would taste good.

-Thank you for this. -Thank you.

-Thank you for this. -Thank you for the food.

If you need a digestive medicine, just let me know.

I prepared this for our female staff members.

Here you go, Dr. Yun. This will help you become prettier.

Thank you, Manager Jang.

-Thank you. -Thank you, Manager Jang.

You're welcome.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Why is Teacher Kim not here?

Is he not coming?

-I forgot about him. -Oh, my.

Please call me when we have an emergency patient.

Yes, Teacher Kim.

You got me good.

Wouldn't you say so?

Let me ask you just one thing.

Why are you living like this?

A talented doctor like you

working in such a remote area,

trying to open an unprofitable trauma center.

Gosh. President Do.

How many people do you think

die on the street while wandering around to find a hospital?

Most of them are the poor and vulnerable.

-Do you even know that? -So what?

Opening a trauma center here

wouldn't make any difference.

Anyone within one-hour distance from this hospital

would never die on the street again

while looking for a hospital.

That's inspiring.

But one person alone can't change the world.

Are you being a doctor to change the world?

I'm not.

What did you say?

I am doing my job as a doctor

to save other people.

To a person who is dying,

I'm the only hope at that moment.

If I step back, that person would die.

If I don't give up

and try a little bit harder, that person would live.

That's crazy.

I can't believe

you have such an idealistic dream at your age.

People call that swaggering.

The fancy word to describe it is

romantic.

Romantic.

Romantic.

How many doctors would agree with that rubbish?

How many doctors would stay at this hospital

where they work so hard and get paid so little?

Right?

I believe

that there are more young doctors

who want to become a good doctor

rather than a doctor who runs after money.

Oh, right.

That includes In-beom.

The law of conservation of romance.

-Cheers. -All right.

Everyone, please pay attention.

I will sing a song for you.

Go, Dr. Yun!

All of you, step forward.

There are things that most people believe don't exist

even though they know of their existence.

My goodness.

Still, they hope someone could preserve those things.

They're beautiful values.

Those who know how to have fun are good at their jobs, too.

You're right.

By the way, it's not hectic today.

I was worried they might page us.

Don't say such a thing. It might come true.

Hello? Oh Myeong-sim speaking.

I understand.

A bus got rolled over on Route 36.

It even caught fire. More than ten people were injured.

Gosh. Seriously.

President Yeo, are you going, too?

Gosh. I can't believe this.

Attention.

Six patients will be transferred to our hospital.

Two of them have burn injuries.

The rest are severely injured

with possible multiple fractures and intestinal injuries.

Stay focused, everyone. Okay?

-Yes, Teacher Kim. -Yes, Teacher Kim.

Life is about turning into different roads.

Whether you want it or not,

you have to face the reality which is placed in front of you.

Patient coming in!

You can't find the right answer every single time.

But Teacher Kim

always said this.

Do not give up asking the questions

about why we live and what we live for.

The moment you give up on that,

the romance in life ends.

Understood?

That's what he said.

AND...

Mr. Jung Jin-yeong?

Who are you?

This is sent from a sponsor who wants to pay for your talent.

Pardon? Pay for my talent?

Your sponsor is willing to pay

for all of your LVAD operation fees

in return for your drawing.

Does that...

Does that mean

I can live?

If the surgery goes well.

IMF BAILOUT

There once lived a very rich man in Namdaemun

who had the most cash in the country.

He was cold-hearted,

and he never knew to share.

He was also known as Scrooge of Namdaemun.

People who wanted to borrow from him,

and people who borrowed from him,

all hated that man.

He was only concerned about money, money, and money.

He was a miser who only cared about money.

One day,

he was haggling a guy to pay him back what he owes.

Suddenly, his heart failed and he collapsed on the street.

None of the people around stepped up to help him.

Except for

one righteous passerby.

No one else stepped up.
