Original subtitles

(Characters, places, organizations, and events in this show are fictional.)

Since you're going to start a new journey,

your first step must be right.

Thank you, Shoan.

I promise that I'll love you.

I'll make every second that I have with you

as precious as possible.

Don't you want to dance?

No. What about you?

I just don't like it.

We'll just watch them over here.

- Win! - Professor!

- Professor! - Win?

Win!

- Professor! - Win!

I can still feel his pulse.

Hi. Are you up?

How did it go? You barely eat or sleep.

Your wedding is today, yet you spent all night in the OR.

Stay and finish your IV, Mister Groom.

Thanks, Professor.

I'm sorry, May.

Don't worry. I'm fine now.

Okay.

Listen, Win. You have to take care of yourself.

Maysa, you too. You look tired.

How about this? Let's get you both a checkup at once.

It's fine, Uncle. I've already had a checkup.

Okay. That's good.

Win, do you know your juniors are worried?

There.

Why are you all here? Don't you have your shifts?

Are you good already?

Okay. Then we're off.

Get some rest, Professor.

Shoan.

Come on.

Hi.

Good morning, Professor.

You're well-disciplined.

Right.

You've been getting along well with your colleagues, right?

It's likely to go well.

That's good.

The director has approved my retirement.

Do you not like being a doctor anymore?

I do, it's just...

I still get excited by difficult cases or brain diseases.

Sometimes it's just...

When you get older,

it's good to live a simple life.

Won't you regret it though?

When you do something for a long time, you'd grow attached to it.

But

it won't be as bad as I'd say I would regret it.

I would miss it. That's more likely.

But I'd prefer to have you around in the hospital.

Shoan, nothing, and no one lasts forever.

Changes and departures

are inevitable facts of life.

The start

and the finish.

That's right.

I think I have reached my finish line.

My goal has been accomplished.

You might not realize it yourself,

but I know you're ready

to start your run

on your own path.

Believe me, you can do it.

Also, the new head of surgery seems to favor you.

Who is it?

It's Professor Archawin.

(Episode 17: Goal)

Morning!

- Morning. - Morning, Prim.

- Prim. - Yeah?

The juices in the fridge,

- can I have one? - No!

That's for me to drink every day.

I can't miss even a day.

I need to take care of my health. I'm about to reach 30, you know?

You're old and stingy.

You want hot water?

By the way, where are the others, Prim?

I don't know. I think they'll be here soon.

Whoa, Pleum.

Are you running away from home?

I'm way past my rebellious phase.

I'm going camping.

Really? I'm jealous of you.

I haven't worked here long enough to take a leave.

Oh, don't be jealous.

I'm a fourth-year resident, yet I can't take a single day off.

The workload is super tight.

Has the professor approved your leave?

He hasn't.

- But I'm going. - That's a rebellious phase.

I'm not rebellious.

Where...

Dr. Pleum, are you running away from home?

It's over.

Wait.

Yes?

Shoan.

Would you go camping with me?

By camping, do you mean sleeping in a tent on the ground in a forest?

That's right.

I'm interested.

I like being in nature.

This is getting somewhere.

Where are you going to camp?

Yeah, where?

Just around here.

Around here?

Yes.

Big bro, I want this.

Oh. It's expensive. I'll buy one for you next time.

Promise.

Here.

I'll take this too.

For you.

- Is he buying it for you? - Yes.

I'll let you have it, but what do you have to say?

Thank you.

That's right.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Don't just play. Study hard too.

Yes.

Come on. Let's go.

Thank you.

Hey.

I got everything.

You sure are kind.

You saw that?

- Let's go. - If you have your own child,

would you be kind like this?

Or would you be mean like when you are in the hospital?

I think I would be

the kind type of daddy.

If our child is a good kid, that is.

If it's not a good kid,

if it's naughty, I would have to be mean sometimes.

But I wouldn't be as mean as...

So...

When did you know?

Shortly before the wedding.

So...

That's when you were sick and

you didn't let me check your pulse. That's when.

Yes.

I was worried.

- I didn't know if you'd be happy or... - May!

I am happy!

I'm really happy!

Come on, May. What were you thinking?

I didn't know.

You said you had a lot of things you wanted to do. And your USA program?

No. I'm not going anymore.

I still want to go,

but now I don't want to go anymore. I won't go to stay for our kid.

Come on, May. Why would you think that?

- I was afraid. - Don't be.

Even though my wife owns a hospital,

I'd still want you to get antenatal care at GMC.

Okay? When you come in for a checkup, I can see you. Is that good?

I'll ask Professor...

Professor Sarocha to take your case. She's the best.

Is that okay?

So what should we name our kid?

Isn't that too soon?

It's not too soon. It's...

How many weeks in?

- We have to come up with a name soon. - It's months away, Win.

Let's go shopping for the baby, shall we? I'm not going to work now.

- You're too much. - Can you walk?

Should I give you a piggyback ride?

Of course!

(Dr. Archawin Akephaiboon)

TEE results from your previous hospital

show that Miss Torfun has an atrial septal defect.

It's about two by 1.8 cm.

She's starting to have high blood pressure in her lungs.

The sign is when you

do your exercise, you'll be

unusually exhausted.

We have to close the leakage in her heart first.

And then you will be back to normal.

I'm finally getting my heart fixed, right?

What's the rush?

- Your heart is really important. It's risky. - No, it's...

If I can get it fixed soon,

I'll get to do what I want sooner.

- Let the doctor see if you're ready. - The doctors are good.

He's checking me, right, Doctor?

Yes, well...

- Listen... - At first, I'd like to consult our pediatric cardiologist.

We'll put a catheter into your blood vessel and evaluate your heart.

Then we'll plan a treatment that's safest and best for the patient.

If your heart's evaluation is good,

we can put a catheter in and fix the heart

without needing surgery at all.

Once we're done evaluating her heart,

our surgeons will consider

and notify your plan of operation

at your ward, okay?

Yes. Let's do that.

- Thank you. - Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Great! - Easy.

A daughter who's close to her dad? That's cute.

Is everything alright?

These are all the cases for this afternoon, Professor.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Prim, for that last patient's ASD secundum case,

when the catheter results come in, ask the pediatric cardiologist

to notify us and we'll consider our plan at her ward.

Okay, Professor.

You don't have an operation today?

Not at all.

- Okay. - I have to go to dinner with my beautiful wife.

Yeah!

I'm so hungry.

Prim, Shoan, come on. Let's eat.

Thank you.

What about Pleum? Is he not eating?

I don't know.

I last saw him at the back of the hospital. I don't know where he went.

I just registered for a charity fun run.

Won't any of you go with me?

Is your life not tiring enough?

Who's organizing this event?

It's a cosmetic brand or something.

The money goes to a child cancer foundation though.

- Yeah. - That's good.

I can't make it, Nick.

I haven't bought my new running outfit, new running shoes,

or new makeup, and I haven't updated my playlist.

You don't need all that.

Mim, that's too much. It's just a run.

Pleum, you know nothing.

That's a woman's happiness.

Exhaustion is fine, but we have to go full option.

Yeah, fine.

What about you?

Are you going for a marathon?

That's too much. This will do for now.

Running feels good for me. Also,

when I run, I feel like I get to cross the lines or goals that I set.

Yeah.

- Is it really that good? - Oh my.

- I'll see how long you can keep it up. - Patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Dr. Nick, you're 31 years old. You have a risk of that.

Therefore, you need to warm up enough and run with proper movements.

That will reduce the risk.

Yes, sir.

It's fine. I got lectured by him too.

Yes, Em?

Of course.

Shoan, let's go.

Where to?

A patient is having a problem with right hepatectomy.

- Okay. Wait a second. - Guys.

Don't throw my meal away. I'll be back to finish it.

Okay.

Wait!

Dr. Pleum, wait for me!

Pleum seems so busy. What about his camping trip?

- It's probably canceled. - I wonder.

You know me. I won't cancel it.

You always go big.

Surprised, aren't you?

Pleum, you've outdone yourself this time.

It's just once in a while. Let me have my way.

Are we going to be in trouble for using the hospital's electricity?

- Right? - I got my own battery. It's fine.

- There's no trouble. - That's good.

Can you play guitar, Pleum?

It's a prop.

- Shoan. - Yes?

Do you want to try it?

May I? I want to try.

Go ahead. Show us.

This thing takes practice, you know?

- You can't play it with a high IQ. - Do you want to bet?

I bet Shoan can play it.

You're on.

- Whoever loses pays for lunch. - Deal.

Come on, Shoan.

Yes. Do you have a chord?

Here. It's something easy.

Can you really play though?

See? I can tell just by the first chord.

We'll see.

Shoan.

Can I film this for my YouTube?

Hello. This is "One Night with Pleum."

Tonight, we'll be watching Dr. Shoan,

a genius doctor, as he plays guitar for the first time.

Let's see if he can play it.

You're paying for lunch.

Okay.

(As long as the sea remains far from the mountains, )

(no matter how far we're apart, )

(I'm still the same, everything's the same. I'm waiting for only you.)

Before I became a doctor, I thought I'd work hard and play hard.

Those who say they don't have time,

I didn't believe them.

But now

I found out just how it is.

Me too.

I wanted to be a beautiful and capable doctor.

Now I'm barely surviving.

I'll worry about being beautiful later.

Shoan's probably the only one

that's getting to do what he wants to.

Pleum, as if you didn't want to be a doctor.

Actually, I didn't want to be a doctor.

I've become one because everyone in my family is one.

My dad is a doctor.

My siblings are doctors. That's why I'm here.

So what do you actually want to be?

I don't know.

This is probably me though.

A mid-doctor with nothing outstanding.

So...

Don't you want to change careers?

You've probably realized that a while ago.

The reason is kind of corny.

When I see

a patient recover and go home,

it feels so wholesome.

I don't know if you guys feel that way.

- Everyone is the same. - Me too.

- Me too. - That's why we're sitting here.

Dr. Pleum, you're a doctor in your own way.

You seem to be happy,

except when you've got Grey Turner's sign.

- Was that a praise or an insult? - Take it easy.

He means you're happy in your own way. Get it?

If we're complaining this much,

no kid would want to be a doctor anymore.

The videos that you make, I think they're good.

It's easy to understand. You don't use difficult words like other doctors.

I think general viewers can understand. That's a good thing.

Yeah. An influencer slash doctor is cool.

Yeah, I agree. Everyone has their own way, right?

You guys are embarrassing me.

I'm flattered.

Look, Prim.

What about your goal?

Do you still want to go to the countryside?

I have my own goals too.

Tomorrow,

I'm going to run at half past four in the morning.

I shouldn't have got myself in trouble.

That's why I said, "Is your life not tiring enough?"

I'm amazed you can play guitar when you just pick it up.

That's because the guitar's chords are fixed patterns.

Tonight, I felt something.

What was it?

I felt normal.

I felt like I was a normal person.

I did my work.

I have my friends.

And...

Shin and my bunny up there are probably watching.

Of course they are.

They see

just how happy you are.

Hello?

Okay. Yeah. I'm on my way.

Okay.

Pleum!

Pleum! The ER needs us!

Professor, we've got Torfun's catheter results.

Right now, her ASD secundum's pulmonary flow

to systemic flow ratio is over 1.5 to one.

Which means she's starting to have pulmonary hypertension.

We should close her ASD leakage first.

Otherwise, her pulmonary hypertension is going to get worse.

Do you think we should do an open repair or just use an ASD device?

Her major axis now is smaller than 33 millimeters.

And her ASD rim is bigger than ten millimeters.

I think...

The chance of success with an ASD device is pretty high.

I think a transcatheter device closure is best for this case.

That's good. Inform the family and notify

our pediatric cardiologist.

- Okay. - Okay.

Professor, may I ask for Shoan's help with this case?

- Of course. - Okay.

(Nurse Counter)

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Your catheter results came back.

The leakage in your heart

is perfect for

a closure using a device.

We will not do an open chest surgery.

The operation will take two to three hours.

You will spend one day in recovery.

After one day, if there's no complication, you can go home.

It sounds difficult and dangerous, right?

To close a leakage,

we have two methods for that.

First is an open chest surgery.

The second method

is inserting a device through a catheter without surgery.

Both methods

are similar in success rates.

The difference is the second method will only cause a wound in her thigh.

Her recovery will be much faster than with the first method.

What about some exercise or

running after surgery?

What are you talking about?

This is not the time to think about that.

Take it easy, Mister.

If either of you have any questions, you can ask me.

I have questions, Doctor.

Okay, please come to the counter. We need you to sign a consent

- for the operation. - Of course.

Okay. Shoan, I'll leave her with you.

Please.

Did your father get angry because you like to run?

He was just pretending to be angry.

Actually, he's the one who likes to run.

So...

What part of running do you enjoy?

That's an unusual question.

People who know my condition

usually say,

"Why would you run?"

They know I can't run even if I try.

"Why would you?" I got asked that a lot.

I like the atmosphere of a running event. Have you ever been to one?

I like to get dressed up and

sit among them. Watch them run.

Sometimes, I want to be on the podium.

But

it's only a dream because I can barely live a normal life.

A normal life...

Doctor.

After my operation,

can I run a marathon?

She can.

Once her tissue completely covers the device,

she can resume her exercise and running as normal.

You just have to wait for about three to six months.

I saw you got a bit angry with her.

Well, I just don't want her to hear.

I was afraid she'd get impatient and rush it.

May I ask you a question?

- Yes. - Why does she like to run?

It's probably because of me.

We go to running events as father and daughter. I used to bring her along.

Why does your dad

act like he doesn't like running when he likes it?

I think

it's because I can't run.

Personally, I

want to go running with my dad.

No matter how hard I try, I just can't.

At first, I thought

I was probably too young

or I didn't try hard enough.

At first, I didn't even know

that I had a heart condition since birth.

I heard a song that says

"Effort never hurts those who put their mind to it."

But now,

no matter how hard I try,

if my body and my heart can't handle it,

all it would do is harm me

and hurt my dad.

That's why

my dad didn't want me to sit alone and cheer him on,

so he stopped running.

Actually,

I don't regret that I don't get to go running.

I'm just worried about her.

I feel like it's because of me...

I don't want her to blame herself as the reason I don't go running.

That my dad has to stop doing what he loves.

Once we fix that patient's heart, she will go back to running with her dad.

When I was in college,

someone told me

a degree in medicine is like a marathon.

I won't argue with that.

You know?

It takes a long time to graduate.

That's six years.

After that, we have to work and pay off the tuition.

Haven't you heard? A doctor remains in school all their life.

It's just like a long marathon.

It's about

how you reach your finish line and when.

Not everybody gets to reach their finish line though.

That's why we have to do our best.

Do our best

to continue running on another event.

You're right if you want to study further as a fellowship.

Complications of an ASD device include

cardiac

perforation,

device embolization,

and cardiac arrhythmia.

Common complications

that lead to surgery include

device embolization...

There's also a 1.2% chance of thrombus formation

within four weeks after operation.

Dad.

I can't sleep.

Are you nervous?

A little.

When I get better,

let's go running together.

You can practice while I recover.

Of course I will.

Fun.

The reason I stopped running

is not because of you.

It's just not fun to go alone.

Let's go together.

Everything will go well. Be strong.

You're more nervous than I am.

We'll bring the patient to the operating room.

I'll wait for you here.

Be strong.

You be strong too, Dad.

Professor,

ASD secundum is two cm,

with left to right shunt.

Vital signs are now stable.

- Right. Amplatzer, 22 mil please. - Yes, Professor.

Amplatzer, 22 mil is in.

Fix wire, please.

Okay, we can open up the device.

Okay, the device opened.

Professor, we've got a pulseful VT.

- No! The device came off. We need surgery now. - Yes, Professor.

Professor, the device is probably still in her left atrium.

Aortic cross clamp, please.

Give her cardioplegia.

We'll open into the right atrium.

Then, we'll go into...

Professor?

Professor?

Professor?

Call Professor Karn from CVT.

Or any professor from CVT who's available.

- Yes, Professor. - Professor, what's wrong?

I'm fine, Shoan.

- Are you okay? - I am.

Every professor there is working on a case.

Professor Karn has the earliest availability. We'll call her in.

We have no time.

Prim, you'll be the main surgeon.

- Yes? - I'll be overseeing you.

Start from...

Start from right atriotomy.

Retrieve the device.

Come on! Shoan, take Prim's place as the assistant. Are you up to this?

- I am. - Go.

Forceps and Metzenbaum, please.

Prim.

Stitch her ASD up using Dragon Patch Graft.

Shoan, on the right.

We'll start de-airing her heart chamber.

Copy that.

Prim.

We need CO2 and water before closing her ASD.

That's correct, Shoan. Well done.

CO2 is on.

Easy, Prim. Slowly de-air and let all the air out.

The clamp is off. Her heart is beating well. The ASD patch has no leakage.

Okay. We gave you painkillers. Just rest for a bit and you'll feel better.

Look, Win. This is not okay now.

You need to find time for your MRI scan.

Trade your shift with someone, okay?

Okay, Professor.

- Professor, how are you? What's wrong? - Professor?

- Professor, what's wrong? - Shoan, easy.

I'm fine now. I took some painkillers.

- Are you okay? - How is the patient doing?

We sent her to the ICU. Don't worry.

Okay. Well done, both of you.

I'm okay.

Hello, Mom.

(Shoan.)

(Your dad isn't doing well.)

(Do you want to visit him?)

Don't worry about it here. If you need to stay there, just stay.

I'll take care of your shifts.

All right?

If you feel bad,

try to breathe and count one to ten.

Understand?

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten.

Talk to you later.

Please take care of him.

Shoan.

You're good at drawing.

That's nice.

Shin.

Take good care of the bunny.

It gets scared easily.

Shoan.

You're here?

Why don't you eat something?

All you do is play around.

Shin.

- Get your brother something to eat. - (Yes, Dad.)

Shoan.

Hold your dad's hands.

Try to comfort him.

Well done, Shoan.

Well done.

Shin.

You see? Your brother is still so little.

You're the big brother.

You have to love him and help your mom take care of him. Can you do that?

I can.

Ahh!

I see your eyes.

I bet you'll grow up to be smart.

- Do you agree, Yen? - Yes, honey.

Oh, Shoan? Are you waiting for your dad?

Do you go to school like other kids?

Let's go. He doesn't speak. He's too old now.

I told his dad to hit his lips with a frog, and he didn't listen.

What are you talking about?

Are you going to hit a child's lips with a frog?

Are you crazy?

Your kid won't speak.

He's not normal.

It doesn't hurt to try.

It does!

Should I hit your lips with a frog now?

You're speaking nonsense!

(He's almost six and he still can't talk.)

(Cause he's retarded...)

Hey! What's so funny?

- (The dad can't touch him?) - (Your child won't grow any further.)

All they do is run their mouths.

When you were a kid,

you didn't understand.

I went through a lot.

All the people said

you were dumb.

You brat!

You're good for nothing!

- You were retarded. - Dad, don't hurt him.

They keep talking every day.

- It was hard... - Shin! Take your brother and run!

You're hurting me!

For me to ignore them.

Quiet! I said quiet! Why would you keep crying?

- Stop. Please stop drinking. - You can hate me.

You can blame me.

Everything

was my own fault.

I can't blame anyone.

I can't blame you for being this way.

I don't like what you did,

but I don't hate you.

Children cannot hate their parents

because parents are all they have.

I remember good things about you.

I don't know if you remember though.

Here's your reward.

Your drawing won the school contest.

You're not my son.

You shouldn't have been born to me.

I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough.

What's wrong, Professor?

Nothing.

I just heard the view up here is nice.

I spend all my time in the OR.

I've never been up here.

It really is nice.

How is your dad?

Does he get enough painkillers?

My dad is dying.

Professor Prapas would probably say

death is everyone's destination.

Professor,

I wonder

what your finish line is.

You mean my goal?

It's nothing exciting, actually.

I just want to be a permanent professor to teach students.

So you don't want to operate anymore?

That's like Professor Prapas.

Actually,

I've never thought about it.

But when I'm about to be a father,

I start to feel like I'm on the right path.

Well...

- I... - You're expecting a baby?

You're going to be an uncle soon.

I'm going to say no.

I'm not made for that role

because of what I am.

You're actually not that different.

Among us doctors, you're

one of the best.

And you're a good doctor.

If my child has an uncle who's a capable doctor

and a good doctor,

what would go wrong?

What about you?

Do you have any goals in life?

My first goal is to be a surgeon.

I also have a second goal.

Really? What is it?

- Good morning, Professor! - Morning.

- Professor, good morning. - Here's your patient file.

Okay.

Why do you seem so gentle today, Professor?

Yeah!

Your killer instinct is pretty much gone, Professor.

What killer instinct?

Professor, what's that? Let me see.

- There she is! - Is that true?

Yeah, okay!

You're smiling more than the person in the photo!

- That's enough! Go back to work! - Oops.

This is his cruel mode.

- This way! - Professor!

Uncle Shoan?

The latest results show you're recovering well.

Your vital signs are stable.

You should be able to go home tomorrow.

I heard you want to run now?

You have to be strict with your medication.

Don't rush it, okay?

- Take it step by step. - Okay, Doctor.

Doctor.

Thank you so much for

helping my daughter live a normal life again.

You're welcome. Dr. Prim here will provide further details.

You can ask her. Now, please excuse me.

Yes, Professor.

Yes. See you at four in the MRI room.

Dr. Pleum, you're cuter in person.

Oh! Is she one of your fans?

When will you post a new video? I'm looking forward to it.

It's coming soon.

Easy, sweetie.

I also have a second goal.

I want to have a family.

It might be like a marathon for me and

I might never reach that finish line.

It's a lump this big, yet you felt no sign at all, Win?

Is it about to end?

The fact that I bring bad luck

and that I am the reason for everything that went wrong.

The diagnosis is

penetrating abdominal injury with hemorrhagic shock. We're about to

explore his laparotomy to remove the steel rod.

Head Surgeon, do you have anything to inform your team?

You can tell them for me.

For the tumor IVC thrombus,

if it's too close to the heart,

the chance to remove the entire tumor...

Win?

What are you talking about?
