(sensual music)

Should I...

lie down first?

I will...

lie down first.

SEONUNG: Oh!

Is it...

okay for us to do this?

You know
that we can't go on like this anymore.

Let's start...

being honest with each other now.

(breathes shakily)

(exhales deeply)

I'll do it.

(breathes deeply)

The blood work seems to show
indications of cholangitis,

so we'll do a CT scan first.

Could you help him to get his scans?

Yes, Doctor.

RESTRICTED AREA
OPERATING ROOM

Ms. Eom.

-Yes?
-AREUM: By the way,

where did the two go?

You mean Dr. Ung and Dr. Jang?

HYEONJEONG: I'm not sure.
They were just here a minute ago.

DONGHWA: I'm sorry.

I don't think I can do this.

What are you saying?

Are you saying you want to give up now?

No, you can't do that.

Take it off now.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

(grunts)

-SEONUNG: The back has to go...
-DONGHWA: No, wait.

SEONUNG: Can you lean down a little?

-DONGHWA: Wait!
-SEONUNG: The back!

-(comical tune)
-(crickets chirping)

MINGUK: The surgeons gathered here

will be doing a simulation
for the next two months

in the Trauma Center.

It will be like a pre-inspection
before the Trauma Center officially opens

to see how we work together as a team.

From this point forward,

just focus on the serious trauma patients.

Then what about the ER at Doldam Hospital?

Those of you here and I

will be covering the ER.

Just the people here right now?

Yes.

(tense music)

(whispers)
Will those two be enough?

(whispers)
I know, Ms. Oh. Will we be okay?

You two.

You can do it, right?

(coughs)

I'm sorry, but I won't take part in this.

JINMAN: Why?

Are you not confident enough?

I heard Bu Yongju taught you.
I was looking forward to seeing you work.

Your skills must not be good enough
to show me just yet.

I don't perform surgery
merely to show people my skills.

That seems like a good excuse.

Did my refusal sound like an excuse?

I assume it's one of two reasons.

Either you don't feel confident
in your skills...

or you're uncomfortable with me.

I just want to keep working
at Doldam Hospital with Master Kim.

Are you unable to step outside
of Bu Yongju's shadows?

JINMAN: Come to think of it,

he has been raising minions,

not teaching doctors.

Professor.

WOOJIN: I was the one
who willingly became a minion.

Master Kim was the one

who didn't look down on me
and treated me with respect

as a junior doctor.

I'll be going now.

Dr. Seo.

INSU: Hey, wait.

-Hey! Woojin!
-MUNJEONG: Dr. Seo!

EUNJAE: You spoke too harshly, Professor.

Dr. Seo is

a talented surgeon at Doldam Hospital.

Please treat him with respect.

Hey, Dr. Seo.

You can't just leave like this.

We still have to open the Trauma Center.

I'm not against that.

I just won't be part of it.

That's what I'm saying.

What will happen to the team
if our ace won't be part of it?

MUNJEONG: That's right, Dr. Seo.

I don't think you should leave like this.

You should at least get started

and say that you want to leave later.

Master Kim can't cover
the ER on his own, okay?

There's only one CT fellow who just joined

and a resident who barely has experience
being a first assistant.

Basically, they're casting us aside.

What do you mean?
Why would they do that to us?

DONGHWA: I see it as a type of power play.

They're trying to discipline us.
Can't you see it?

Come on,
Master Kim wouldn't do such a thing.

He totally would.

His true craziness...

(sucks teeth, breathes shakily)

Oh.

You haven't seen it yet, right?

His craziness?

Do you know what day it is today?

Today is Friday.

You can't imagine it, right?

What Fridays at Doldam Hospital are like.

But if all of us are sent to work
at the Trauma Center,

Doldam Hospital will fall into chaos
in no time.

Once that happens,

it'll be worse
than anything you can imagine.

Master Kim will eventually
have to take care of all the patients.

Are you sure you can handle it?

That won't happen, Dr. Seo.

Once the Trauma Center is up and running,

serious trauma cases will be sent there.

Then the number of surgical cases
at Doldam Hospital will decrease.

That would mean
it won't be that hard for Master Kim.

(snaps fingers)
That's right.

MUNJEONG: Besides,

we have to tackle this hurdle sometime.

We have to see how well we work together
without Master Kim.

Isn't it time for us to test ourselves?

Right.

Did Master Kim tell you to do this?

To persuade me?

Master Kim?

-(chuckles)
-(sighs)

Why would he do that?

No, he didn't, right?

-INSU: No.
-MUNJEONG: You're right.

(sighs)
Master Kim told us to do this.

Hey, Woojin.

INSU: Woojin!

How could you just tell him that?

(sighs)

-He already knew. What else could I do?
-(phone vibrates)

Yes, Dr. Nam.

No, he won't budge.

He just left.

Is that so? Okay.

I guess they couldn't persuade him.

(Minguk sighs)

(sighs)

MINGUK: If Seo Woojin goes on like this,

the Doldam surgeons
might not even get a chance.

Before we even get the chance
to test our teamwork,

the Trauma Center will be staffed

by other doctors
brought in by Dr. Cha Jinman.

When did you say
the provincial assemblymen were visiting?

Early next week.

The budget we can get will likely depend
on how the visit turns out.

What should we do, Master Kim?

(sighs)

Let's proceed as it is now.

What about Seo Woojin?

What can we do?

It's not like we can force him
to do something he doesn't want.

And we can't keep postponing
the opening of the Trauma Center either.

Let's just continue without Seo Woojin,
Director Park.

What will we do about GS without him?

We'll have to go with plan B.

My goodness.

This place looks nice.

It finally looks like a proper hospital.

(chuckles, inhales deeply)

Got it.

(chuckles)

-Ah...
-(door opens)

(inhales deeply)

DOLDAM TRAUMA CENTER
SURGEON YANG HOJUN

MYEONGSIM: What?

Dr. Yang Hojun?

SABU: So,

I think you'll have to go
to the Trauma Center.

(inhales deeply)
Yang Hojun...

doesn't have a lot of experience
in treating trauma cases,

and it'll be his first time
with Professor Cha.

I'm sure they'll need
a skilled pair of hands like yours.

But if I go as well, what about you?

I'll stay.

No, there's no need for that.

You might as well go
and work as a team too.

-Still, we can't both leave the ER.
-(phone rings)

One of us will stay here with you.

I'll stay. Please, Master Kim.

I told you it's fine.

Master Kim,
two pesticide-poisoned patients

are arriving in five minutes.

There has also been a serial collision
on Route 35 with three injured.

(sighs deeply)

-Euntak.
-EUNTAK: Yes.

Call Dr. Yoon Areum. Go and get ready.

Yes, sir.

I'll leave it to you then.

Yes, Doctor.

Ms. Joo, let's go.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Eom, send the traffic accident cases
to the Trauma Center.

And call Dr. Jang and Dr. Lee.

Yes, Master Kim.

(phones vibrate)

It's finally starting.

SEONUNG: What is?

Friday.

(siren wailing)

There has been a serial collision
on Route 35.

Ms. Oh,
have you switched places with Euntak?

What can I do?
I hear they need a seasoned player here.

Three injured,

one of which is in cardiac arrest.

They're on their way while performing CPR.

They'll be here in five.

-Got it.
-Ms. Joo.

Stay on the phone with the paramedics
and keep checking on the patient.

Yes, Doctor.

Why don't I see one person?

Thanks.

TREAT PATIENTS LIKE FAMILY

SABU: Hey, newbies.

Get your heads in the game.

Yes, Doctor!

-PARAMEDIC: We have a patient!

CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON CHA EUNJAE

(sighs)

CHA EUNJAE

(sighs)

Are you really going
to leave the trauma team?

WOOJIN: Yes, that's what I said.

Does my dad get to you that much?

What about you?

When will you tell him?

About what?

About you and me living together.

We can't keep it a secret forever.

And don't you want to try
and get along with my dad?

You could let him get to know you
from close by,

and you could grow closer
as you work in the Trauma Center together.

Why?

Are you ashamed of me?

What?

Am I not worthy enough

to introduce to your dad?

So I should try to look good while I can

and gain some points?

Woojin, hang on.

Why are you saying that?

What do you mean by that?

I was just curious

about why you kept hesitating.

(sighs)

(phones vibrate)

Let's go work for now.

CHA EUNJAE

(door closes)

DOLDAM HOSPITAL
GENERAL SURGEON SEO WOOJIN

AREUM: Let's move the patient.
On one, two, three.

SEONUNG: I'll remove the bed.

ALL: One, two, three.

-PARAMEDIC 1: I'll remove the bed.
-ALL: On one, two, three.

PARAMEDIC 2: Master Kim.

The patients are father and son.

They finished working in the greenhouse

and drank leftover makgeolli at home.

But the makgeolli bottle was one
used to store some pesticide.

SABU: Is that the bottle?

-Yes.
-SABU: Okay.

(Sabu coughs)

(all cough)

From the smell of it, I think
it's an organophosphorus insecticide.

SABU:
Let's get ready to pump their stomachs.

SABU: He's showing SLUDGE symptoms.
It must be organophosphorus.

Euntak.

Inject 3 ml of atropine intravenously.

EUNTAK: Yes, Doctor.

WOOJIN: I'll take over this patient.

-(Sabu sighs)
-(machines beeping)

AREUM: Patient is going into arrest!
I'll start CPR!

(intense music)

Let me see.

PARAMEDIC 1:
We've been doing CPR for 12 minutes.

-I think he'll be okay.
-To the trauma bay.

INSU: To the left.

Sir, what is your name?
How did you get hurt?

Ms. Joo, he's in a stupor.
To the trauma bay.

It's this way.

MYEONGSIM: Are you okay?

Does it hurt anywhere?

No, it doesn't hurt.

Let's get the last patient
to observation area.

Which way is that?

It's this way. Ms. Choi.

-Follow me.
-PAREMEDIC 2: Okay.

The trauma bay, observation area,

and angiography room.

It's a TA case?

INSU: Yes, there are three patients.

One is in cardiac arrest
and another seems to be in a coma.

NURSE: Let's switch places.

How long has it been since starting CPR?

It's been 15 minutes.

Push 1 ml of epi every three minutes
and get me the defibrillator, Ms. Yoo.

NURSE: Yes, Doctor.

EUNJAE:
Let's switch to a laryngeal mask airway.

INSU: Sir?

Can you hear me?

Vitals show 110/70, heart rate 120.
Saturation keeps dropping.

He's in a coma. Give me an intubation kit.

-Will you use a video laryngoscope?
-Yes.

Which meds do you need?

His mouth opens well enough.
Let's just do it.

Let's get a portable X-ray
for the chest and pelvis too.

INSU: Let's see the images.

Okay.

Dr. Jung, there's one more patient
in the observation area.

MYEONGSIM: He's in his late teens.

His injuries seem minor,
but I think you should still check.

Yes, Ms. Oh.

Keep that in place.

INSU: There's some muscle guarding
in the abdomen.

Dr. Yang, you should check the ultrasound.

Could you stay for the ultrasound?

Why, you...

Out of the way, punk.

I said, out of the way.

I'll check your blood pressure
and oxygen levels.

STUDENT: Okay.

(phone vibrates)

Hey, Mom.

I just got to the hospital.

Secretary Kim and Secretary Park
were hurt pretty badly,

and I just have a few bumps.

No, the doctor hasn't come yet.

(Seonung panting)

DONGHWA: Let's switch places.

SEONUNG: Okay.

AREUM: One second.
Let me check the rhythm.

V-fib. Charge to 200 joules.

-Keep going with chest compressions.
-DONGHWA: Okay.

-HYEONJEONG: Charged.
-AREUM: Clear.

(Donghwa panting)

-AREUM: Shock.
-(thumps)

(tense music)

AREUM: Compressions.

(Donghwa panting)

Charge to 200 joules again.

Yes, it's charged.

Clear.

-Shock.
-(thumps)

AREUM: Starting compressions again.

(Donghwa panting)

Wait, step back.

I think he's back.

He's back. ROSC.

Let's get a c-line.
Get a chest X-ray and an echo.

-NURSE: Yes, Doctor.
-(sighs in relief)

(flatlining)

AREUM: Asystole.
(pants)

Starting compressions again.

-(Seonung breathes heavily)
-(Areum pants)

(Areum panting)

(Areum exhales deeply)

(Donghwa breathes heavily)

(Seonung breathes heavily)

SABU: You should call it now, Dr. Yoon.

(somber music)

(Seonung breathes shakily)

(Hyeonjeong sighs)

(Sabu sighs)

SABU: I think we should let him go now.

(phone vibrates)

SABU: Yes, Eunjae. What is it?

Dr. Lee.

-SEONUNG (sniffles): Yes, Doctor.
-SABU: Come here for a second.

(Donghwa breathes heavily)

DONGHWA:
Aren't you calling the time of death?

AREUM (breathes heavily): Time of death,

3:26 p.m.

Oh, no.

(Areum sniffles)

AREUM:
I don't even know the patient's name yet.

(Areum sobs)

Really?

Okay, hang on.

Hey, go over
to the Trauma Center right now.

-Cha Eunjae is asking for you urgently.
-What?

-There's no time to waste. Hurry.
-Yes, sir.

SABU: Eunjae, Dr. Lee is on his way...

(shouts)
Hey, run like the wind!

(shouts)
Yes, sir!

RESTRICTED AREA
OPERATING ROOM

Hey.

SABU: Okay, how is everything else?

EUNTAK: Why don't you just go over there?

You want to see how things are going
over there, don't you?

WOOJIN: How many liters did we pump out?

EUNTAK: About five.

WOOJIN: Let's check the ABGA.

(Woojin sighs)

Hello. How old are you?

I'm 17.

And your name?

Kim Hanul.

How are the others who came with me?

The doctors are doing their best
to treat them now.

How do you know them?

They're my mom's secretaries.

My mom should be on her way now.

Do you feel
any pain or discomfort right now?

I feel a bit cold.

My body keeps shaking.

The doctor will be here soon
to check on you.

Wait a little longer.

Okay.

(Insu sighs)

The bleeding is bad.

Which side is that?

INSU: It's near the liver,

but the lungs might be damaged too.

I also see a hemothorax.

HEMOTHORAX: BLEEDING IN THE CHEST CAVITY

Ms. Joo, let's get a CT scan right away.

Call me as soon as you get the results.

We'll assess the hemothorax during surgery
and decide on chest tube placement.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll call Professor Cha just in case,

so be prepared for that, Dr. Yang.

You want me to do a combined surgery
with Professor Cha?

Of course you should do it.
Do you expect me to do it?

Why, I ought to...

NURSE: Doctor, there's another patient
coming in for a falling accident.

And two more TA cases
from a motorcycle accident.

(sighs)

(shouts)
Dr. Bae!

Wait, Dr. Jung!

(sighs)

EUNJAE: What do you see?

Oh, are you asking me?

Can't you read an echo?

No. I mean, yes. The thing is...

It's cardiac tamponade. Watch.

EUNJAE:
Do you see the blood pooling in here?

Right.

Right. I do.

Can you do a pericardiocentesis?

Sorry, ma'am.

I haven't done one on my own yet.

Get a double-lumen c-line ready.

Yes, Doctor.

I thought you might need one.

Oh.

Thanks, Dr. Jang.

Is it like that every time?

What do you mean?

You seemed...

really sad.

(sighs)

I know, right?

I've been seeing this for years now,

but I just can't seem to get used to it.

I think...

declaring a patient's death
is the hardest thing to do.

Well,

it would be weird for a doctor

to be too used
to a patient's death, right?

Well,

I'm okay.

I'll be fine.

If I'm not fine,

it'll be harder to treat the next patient.

(soft music)

You worked hard.

DONGHWA: Thank you.

(Donghwa and Areum chuckle softly)

-EUNTAK: Dr. Seo.
-WOOJIN: Yes.

WOOJIN (sighs): The pH is 7.0.

Yes.

Let's inject two ampoules of bicarbonate.

That won't be enough.

Master Kim.

Have you administered atropine?

We injected 6 ml so far.

Seeing how the heart rate is at 120,
I think it's effective.

Tachycardia and mydriasis are not
markers of atropinization.

MARKER: SIGNS

-Euntak, suction please.
-EUNTAK: Yes, Doctor.

There need to be fewer secretions.

What about pralidoxime?

I didn't give him any.

In the case of organophosphate poisoning,

you have to administer atropine
and the antidote as well.

-Euntak, I'll do it. Get the 2-PAM.
-Yes, Doctor.

Oh. I'll keep that in mind.

No, a general surgeon
doesn't need to remember that as well.

You taught me
to be a doctor needed by patients.

That's right.

But the place that needs you now
is not here but the OR over there.

Honestly, Professor Cha and I
just don't get along.

In life, you will run into more people
you don't get along with

than the ones you do.

I don't like
the way he treats people either.

I don't like
the way you're acting now either.

You haven't actually dealt with him,

but you're full of preconceptions
and aversion.

SABU: You keep assuming the worst,
looking for excuses not to do things,

and doing nothing but complain.

Hey.

That's what unfounded complaints
and excuses are like.

They make you narrow-minded and petty.

-(sighs) Master Kim.
-SABU: Also,

what you're doing isn't turning your back
on Dr. Cha Jinman.

Know that you're turning your back
on the patients that need your care.

-I've brought the 2-PAM.
-SABU: Thanks.

Administer another 6 ml of atropine.

And give him two grams of 2-PAM
mixed in with 100 ml NS.

SABU: Let it drip in for 30 minutes.

I'll prescribe the maintain dose now.

Yes, Doctor.

(pensive music)

Dr. Seo.

Yes, Master Kim is right about everything.
I know that.

I do,

but that won't change my mind.

There's a TA patient
with a ruptured lung and liver.

They need a combined CT surgery,
which Dr. Yang is prepping for now.

Why is Dr. Yang doing that?

If it's the liver,
shouldn't Professor Park do it?

Professor Park is out
for the provincial assembly meeting.

Dr. Yang is the only general surgeon
in the Trauma Center now.

(sighs)

(Hojun breathes nervously)

(sighs)

Who's the CT surgeon on the surgery?

Professor Cha Jinman.

(tense music)

(scoffs)

MYEONGSIM: We finally get to see
Professor Cha's skills.

DOIL: We don't really have to see
his skills. They're the best.

MYEONGSIM: Is he that good?

DOIL: He was the only surgeon
that Master Kim was jealous of.

Can I see the scans?

Yes, Professor.

JINMAN: Down a bit more.

A little more.

JINMAN: Yes, right there.

The bleeding is worse than I thought.

JINMAN: The liver seems badly damaged.

Dr. Yang,
what are your plans for the surgery?

-Pardon?
-What do you plan to do?

Well, the thing is...

We'll go in and stop the bleeding first.

Then we'll check the damaged areas
and cut them out.

If that doesn't work,
I'll do damage control...

After that, I'll do the second surgery--

WOOJIN: I'll start with a segmentectomy.

HOJUN: Dr. Seo.

You're here.

What are you doing here?

Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery
is Dr. Seo's specialty, you see.

I called him in urgently, Professor.

I'm telling you.

It's not that I can't do it.

I can do it, if I have to.

But this is a combined surgery
with Professor Cha.

Hey, Professor Cha is stepping in himself.

And I'm not good enough for this.

As you know,
I did my fellowship on colon surgery.

And you have a bit more experience
in dealing with trauma cases than me.

What can I do?

Experience trumps everything in the OR.

You should step up to the plate, Woojin.

Do you specialize in HPB?

I have multiple specialties.

-Did you check the scans?
-I checked them before coming.

I gave him all the information,
Professor Cha.

(chuckles)

Will you start with the liver?

Yes, sir.

I'll start the approach
with the liver dome

and proceed to the wound on the lungs.

However, there is the possibility
of a diaphragm injury too.

Are you saying the lungs will be fine?

Seeing that there are

contusions, hematocele, and hemothorax
on the lung parenchyma,

there will be injuries to the lungs too.

But there wasn't that much blood
that was drained after the thoracostomy.

If a diaphragm injury is present too,
there's a chance

that blood from the liver
went to the thoracic cavity.

Is there a possibility that the hemothorax
went down to the liver

due to the diaphragm injury?

That's possible too,

but there was
contrast medium extravasation,

which suggests
liver bleeding is more likely.

That's why it would be right to check
the liver first and work our way up.

(suction whirring)

Okay.

Things are looking hopeful.

I guess we've overcome a hurdle.

MINGUK: For both you and Dr. Seo Woojin.

As you said,
Dr. Yang Hojun played his part well.

SABU: Euntak.

Get the maintain dose
that I prescribed earlier.

Yes, Doctor.

What were you planning to do
if Dr. Seo held out until the end?

That's why I asked you to be on standby

-as our plan C.
-(both chuckle)

Anyway, I'm glad
I didn't have to cancel the meeting.

It's an important meeting

about the support fund
for the Trauma Center.

I've heard that the assemblywoman
in charge of our budget

-is a very strict person.
-(breathes deeply)

All right.

SABU: I wish you luck, Director Park.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay. I'll be back.

-I'll leave it to you.
-Okay.

(phone vibrates)

They must be getting started.

WOOJIN:
Then we will now begin the surgery.

Scalpel.

(bright music)

WOOJIN: Forceps.

(sighs)
I don't see anything.

Why? Is something wrong?

No, it's not that.

I think there's some gas in the bowels.

(tense music)

Let's get a CT scan first.

What?

Since the gas in the bowels
is obstructing the view,

let's get a CT scan first.

(mouthing)

Don't you think you could get a visual
if you push the air out?

I just gave you an order, Mr. Park.

Do as you're told.

Let me see.

Hello, I'm Master Kim, Chief of Surgery.

(Sabu grunts, exhales deeply)

All right, let's take a look.

In most cases, if you push down like this,

the gas will move around.

Most patients who come to the ER

don't come in after fasting.

So it's more likely to happen.

You have to have a soothing touch.

Apply pressure

little by little.

(tense music)

Do you see that?

What does that look like
in the right corner?

DONGHWA: Well,

it looks like a mass.

Could it be a tumor?

Take another good look.

Hmm?

AREUM (gasps): Wow!

-It's a beautiful baby.
-(Sabu chuckles softly)

-Congratulations, ma'am.
-(chuckles)

She's pregnant?

Really? Is that really our baby?

Yes, you're pregnant.

SABU:
You may experience implantation cramps

in the early stages of pregnancy.

You should visit an OB-GYN
and get a checkup.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

SABU: Congratulations.

(Sabu chuckles)

I'll leave you to wrap up.

(sighs, chuckles)

Mr. Park.

Can I have a word?

DONGHWA: What...

What did you just do
in front of the patient?

Are you looking down on me
because I'm a resident?

Mm...

Not knowing something

is nothing to be ashamed of.
You can learn.

EUNTAK: But I believe hiding the fact

that you don't know something
is dangerous.

I've learned CT scans in early pregnancy
should be done with caution.

Are you lecturing me now?

I'm not lecturing you.
I'm just saying what I think.

Then I'll tell you what I think too.

Even if I'm a resident,
I'm a doctor, and you're a nurse.

I give the orders
and you just have to listen.

You should be aware of that. Okay?

I'm well aware.

You didn't know what to do
in front of the patient.

(tense music)

Are you done?

We still have lots of emergency patients.

Yes, I'm done. Go back inside.

(phone vibrates)

(phone closes)

ASSEMBLYWOMAN KO KYUNGSOOK

(phone rings)

MINGUK: Hello?

Yes, ma'am. I was just on my way.

What?

Your son?

What?

The provincial assemblywoman's son
is at our hospital?

No, I haven't heard anything.

Yes, sir. I'll check right away
and call you back.

ER REGISTRATION

Is this the Trauma Center?

EUNJAE: How are his vitals?

SEONUNG: It's 120/70.
The heart rate is okay too.

EUNJAE: Okay.

We've done the most urgent part.

Let's keep an eye on the patient
and decide whether to do surgery.

EUNJAE: Let's discuss it
when the family gets here.

SEONUNG: Okay.

EUNJAE: Is it hard?

SEONUNG: No, Doctor. I'm fine.

But the thing is...

Why did you call me?

I acted like such a fool in the OR.

EUNJAE: I know, right?
I didn't know you were like that.

That's why you should see more

and experience more.

You should get more hands-on experience
with the patients.

(soft music)

EUNJAE: Even if you study hard,
memorize things, and watch videos,

nothing beats actual experience.

I know this from experience too.

SEONUNG: Yes, Doctor.

EUNJAE:
Practice reading ultrasounds more too.

Doldam Hospital gets
more emergency patients than outpatients.

Most patients will require ultrasounds.

It'll be hard if you can't read it.

SEONUNG: Yes, Doctor. I'll study hard.

EUNJAE: Follow up on this patient
for another hour,

and call me if anything is wrong.

(patient groans)

-It's okay.
-PATIENT: But it hurts so much.

You're doing well.

(patient grunts)

(soft laugh)

(sighs)

I'll clip this back on.

(flatlining)

Huh?

(tense music)

-(beeping)
-(shouts) CPR!

We need to start CPR!

Dr. Jung!

The observation patient is in arrest.

Was there another patient?

MYEONGSIM: Dr. Jung.

There's one more patient
in the observation area.

He's in his late teens.

His injuries seem minor,
but I think you should still check.

-Ms. Joo, take over here.
-(clattering)

Let's intubate him, quickly!

EUNJAE: Is there anyone
to take over compressions?

Let's switch.

-Are we ready to intubate?
-NURSE: Yes, Doctor.

(exhales shakily)

Where is the high school student
who came in from a traffic accident?

NURSE: Over there...

(breathes shakily)

DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER

DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER

(solemn music)

(sighs)

(sighs)

What do you mean?

The son of a provincial assemblywoman came
to the Trauma Center after a car accident,

but he just died of cardiac arrest.

(sighs)

GITAE: But that assemblywoman

happens to be in charge
of our Trauma Center's budget review.

It's Assemblywoman Ko Kyungsook.

My goodness.

Assemblywoman Ko.

I don't know what kind
of words of consolation will help.

Don't try to console me.

You shouldn't try to console others
if you don't have the right to do so.

(sniffles)

This is medical malpractice, isn't it?

(Kyungsook breathes deeply)

KYUNGSOOK: He was perfectly conscious
when he arrived at the hospital.

I even talked to him on the phone.

So why...

(Kyungsook sobbing)

Who's the doctor in charge?

Who is it?

(yelling)
Which idiot doctor did this to my son?

(Kyungsook groans, breathes heavily)

-Ma'am.
-Or maybe,

a doctor didn't even come to check on him.

Is that it?

Did you neglect him like this

and leave my son to die?

(Kyungsook breathing heavily)

I'm sure that wasn't the case.

(tragic music)

I will look into what happened right away.

(scoffs, breathes shakily)

You all better be prepared.

Got it? For dereliction of duty,
medical malpractice,

and the murder of my son.
I will charge you for these crimes.

(Kyungsook cries)

(Kyungsook wailing)

WOOJIN: CUSA.

Removing the specimen now.

(hopeful music)

I've gotten all the small bleeders too.

Richardson.

I don't see a diaphragm injury,

but the bleeding is increasing.

I'll change position now.

Give me some wraps.

JINMAN (in English): Position change.

DOIL (in Korean):
Bringing the bed back to normal.

JINMAN: Let's proceed to the lungs.

Scalpel.

There will be some blood.

(tense music)

Scissors.

WOOJIN: More gauze, please.

JINMAN: Retractor.

Good. It's here.

Clamp.

WOOJIN: There's too much bleeding.
Should we do a lobectomy?

JINMAN: Let's try a suture ligation
on the bleeding site,

but if it doesn't work,

we can do a lobectomy.

Vicryl 3-0.

JINMAN: Dr. Seo. Tie.

WOOJIN: Tie.

-JINMAN: Tie.
-WOOJIN: Tie.

-WOOJIN: Cut.
-HOJUN: Cut.

JINMAN: Let's check for air leakage.

Irrigation, please.

Anesthesiologist, get the Ambu bag ready.

Pressure 25.

DOIL: Yes, I'll drain the mucus
and get the Ambu bag.

There's almost no air leakage.

WOOJIN: Did it work?

JINMAN: Okay, off.

HOJUN: Off.

DOIL: Do we not have to do a lobectomy?

JINMAN: I think we can leave it.

DOIL: Okay, got it.

JINMAN: I'll leave the rest to you.

-(door opens)
-EUNJAE: Hey.

Go ahead.

Just do as you used to.

(coins clattering)

I thought
you weren't going to go into the OR?

I wasn't going to until the end,

but they said Hojun would have to do it.

(sighs)

I knew it. Hojun sure is amazing.

It wasn't Master Kim or Professor Cha,

but Hojun who changed your mind.

(soft chuckle)

Is that so?

You know,

you're actually pretty cool.

Sometimes, you're so cool
that you make me feel small.

That's how I feel about you.

But you know, Woojin.

Despite all that,

telling my dad that we moved in together

is not that easy.

(soft music)

Honestly, ask any daughter in Korea.

It's hard to tell your dad
about something like this.

And you keep butting heads
with my dad too.

On one hand, I have the guy I love.

On the other hand,
I have my dad whom I love.

What can I do?

I just wanted you to try
and get closer to my dad.

That's just how I felt.

Let's stay like this for a bit.

I need to recharge too.

Maybe it was because I was apart from you
for too long.

Maybe that's why I was upset.

Okay.

Professor. Here you are.

Yes.

(exhales deeply)

I was so moved by today's surgery.

I can't believe
I got to see you in action in person.

It was such an honor.

Where's the patient?

He's in the ICU.
I'll continue to follow up on him.

By the way,

there's been a problem.

NURSE: We'll cover him now.

(solemn music)

The situation doesn't seem good.

On the first day of the trial opening
of the Trauma Center, no less.

Should we let Master Kim know?

I'm not sure.

Administrator Cha.

You may step out now.

Go and tend to your patients.

MINGUK: Excuse me.

Professor Cha.

I'm Cha Jinman, head of the Trauma Center.

I'm in charge here.

This is provincial assemblywoman
Ko Kyungsook.

Yes, I've heard.

My son is dead.

These doctors neglected my son,
and now, my precious child is dead.

I am sorry about your son.

But he wasn't neglected.
He just wasn't our priority.

In trauma, we don't treat patients
based on who arrived first.

We must treat patients
who are more urgent.

He died,

and you say it wasn't urgent?

That's why he wasn't a priority?

Do you think you can convince me
with those words?

I'm not trying to convince you.
I'm explaining it to you.

If that's the case,

you can explain it in court.

I've already decided to file
for criminal charges.

(tense music)

JINMAN: Do you perhaps know
who the more urgent patients were

besides your son?

They were your secretaries.

One person was in cardiac arrest,

and the other was in a coma
with a ruptured liver and lung.

And I just finished operating
on one of those two patients.

In comparison,

your son was conscious enough
to speak to you on the phone.

When we asked him how he felt,

he didn't complain
of any particular aches or pains.

If you were a doctor,

who would you have judged
was the more urgent patient?

Look here.

I'm a politician, not a doctor.

By that, do you mean

you don't care
about your secretaries' lives

and that your son is
the only important patient?

(shouts)
Look here!

JINMAN: Not once,

ever since I stepped foot in this room,

did you ask
how your secretaries were doing.

-(inhales sharply)
-JINMAN: Besides,

they are paid by the government
to aid you govern the province.

So why is it

that they were driving your son
during work hours?

It's not like your teenage son
would've been performing public duties.

If you decide to file charges,

go ahead.

People threatening doctors
to sue for malpractice

isn't really surprising to us anymore.

I'll see you in court.

But you will also...

have to answer all the questions...

that I just asked you.

Dr. Jung.

It's sad that a patient has died.

But I hope you don't blame yourselves
too much or feel too guilty.

You are the ones
who are doing your best in every moment

to save a patient
in an emergency situation.

Nobody can blame you.

I won't let anyone

blame you.

Dr. Jung Insu.

Stand up straight.

(sighs)

GITAE: Huh?

What was that?

They say
you can't judge a book by its cover.

I didn't know he could be so cool.

You think he's cool?

Is that how you see it?

He saved Dr. Jung from a crisis.

GITAE: He went in
and took care of business.

He took his junior's side
and said his piece.

That's how
the head of the Trauma Center should be.

Honestly, I feel so relieved.

Look here. You feel relieved?

A 17-year-old boy just died.

MYEONGSIM: The woman in that room

is not an assemblywoman or a politician.

She's a mom who has lost her son.

Can't you see that?

What?

Well, that's...

SABU: Can't you see
that super inflamed bile duct?

DONGHWA: Pardon?

Oh, then...

SABU: Indigestion, abdominal pain,
high fever, and jaundice.

What is the clinical diagnosis
for these symptoms?

It's cholangitis.

Then what do you do?

So, we should do an ERCP or MRCP...

You should check his labs first.

Oh, right.

Let's get his lab tests done first.

Yes, Doctor.

(chuckles)
All right.

(sighs)

(keyboard clacking)

CAME IN COMPLAINING OF INDIGESTION,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, FEVER, AND JAUNDICE...

SABU: Do you know

what the greatest weakness
of an ultrasound is?

That it relies on the administrator?

You don't see it just by learning.

You have to keep seeing it
to be able to see anything.

You must learn to read it properly
to give proper orders,

and only then will the nurses
trust your orders and follow them.

You should be embarrassed
that you gave a nurse the wrong order.

Nitpicking the nurse
who caught your mistake

makes you look really petty.

Got it, Dr. Jang Donghwa?

(sighs)

Are you taking

Euntak's side this time?

NURSE'S STATION

No, I'm not.

I'm taking your side.

I want you...

to become a respectable doctor.

Gosh, it seems like
we're about done for the day.

Can I go inside for a while?

SABU: Have fun being on call.

Call me
as soon as you get the lab results.

(pensive music)

(sighs)

(phone vibrates)

Yes, it's me. What is it?

Yes, come in.

What are you doing?

I was going over today's surgery.

JINMAN: I was honestly surprised.

For the past few years,
I haven't seen a pair of hands

move so swiftly and precisely.

I feel as though I've met a true surgeon
after a long while.

I had fun.

I formally apologize
for calling you Bu Yongju's minion.

That's just
how dads with daughters are like.

The guys that steal our daughters' hearts

all look like darned thieves to us.

Did you know already?

Of course.

Did you think I didn't?

Eunjae said she hid it really well.

Don't you know that she's a clumsy kid?

She's just tall.

(soft chuckle)

I know.

Just because I know about you guys
doesn't mean I approve yet.

Don't relax too much.

Yes, sir.

Have a seat. Shall we watch some more?

JINMAN: I have a sense of desire.

The moment I saw that kid operate,

and...

as I was performing surgery
with a talented team,

a feeling of wanting to make
all of this mine

grew inside me.

So, I've decided to do so.

Bu Yongju.

I must possess everything

that you have achieved.

-(keyboard clicks)
-JINMAN: You're good at making decisions,

and you have great hands.

I liked your anatomical approach as well.

WOOJIN: This part turned out great.

That was nice.

I have a lot of experience
dealing with hemothorax.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER

Did he say his name was Cha Jinman?

The new head of the Trauma Center, I mean.

Yes, that's right.

That man

would've made a great politician.

He threw a good punch.

Don't worry. I won't file criminal charges
against the hospital.

KYUNGSOOK:
I've been in politics for long enough.

I have that much sense of reality.

But you'll have to be prepared
for an all-out war, Master Kim.

The head of your Trauma Center
came at me asking for a political war,

so I should pay you back with politics.

Excuse me, ma'am.

That wasn't Master Kim's intention.

I don't care whose intention it was.

My son is dead,

and you people didn't do anything
for my son.

I will not stop...

until you repent and admit what you did.

(tense music)

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE

What do we do?

If we can't get
any of the province's budget...

won't we be facing
a huge crisis from the get-go?

Let's go inside. It's cold.

Master Kim.

I...

will take responsibility.
(breathes shakily)

(tense music continues)

(voice breaking)
I forgot about that patient.

That's why he died.
(sobs)

It's my fault.
(sniffles)

Master Kim.

I will...

I will take full responsibility.

INSU: I'm sorry.

(sobbing)

DONGHWA: What are you doing?

I was reviewing an echocardiogram.

It seems to be a necessary skill
at Doldam Hospital.

Hey.

Do you want to do it with me?

HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE

(whispers)
Come on.

Quiet!

Let's go.

Should I...

lie down first?

I will...

lie down first.

You can go first.

Oh!

Is it...

okay for us to do this?

You know
that we can't go on like this anymore.

SEONUNG: Let's start

being honest with each other now.

We should admit what we have to.

At Doldam Hospital, the nurses are better
at reading ultrasounds than us.

(sighs)

DONGHWA: I'll do it.

It's cold.

You must've had a big dinner.

I had a piece of bread.

And just a carton of milk. Why?

Can't you see very clearly?

(sighs)

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can do this.

What are you saying?

Are you saying you want to give up now?

No, you can't do that.

-Take it off now.
-What?

It's my turn now.

Hurry up and take it off.

Uh...

Okay.

You should take this arm out first.

No, to the back like this.

The back has to go up first
and push this...

DONGHWA: Wait!

No, it's not what you think.
We were just trying...

I see. You were practicing
reading ultrasounds, right?

Why were you doing it in secret here?
You could do it in the ER.

Can you see anything?

SEONUNG: I had some bread and milk.

Actually, I had some rice cakes too.

(Areum and Donghwa laugh)

SEONUNG: They might have been bad.

I had garae-tteok too.

AREUM: Seriously,
you don't have to tell us all that.

-See that?
-SEONUNG: Gosh.

AREUM: A little to the back.

DONGHWA: I don't see anything.

No, you have to go like this,

and the angle
should be pointing to the back more.

Like that.

Do you see it?

You see it, right?

DONGHWA: So that's how you do it.

-AREUM: Do you want to try the other side?
-DONGHWA: Yes.

(soft music)

DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3

JINMAN: From what I can see,
there is no hope for this patient.

Am I supposed to give up on a patient?

I gave you the fast lane,

so why do you keep hitting the brakes?

Do you only see the patient,
and not the doctor?

CHILD: I came to meet my dad.

-What?
-What?

Daughter?

GITAE (whispers):
Are you sure it's a dad's smile?

WOOJIN: I wanted to show

that I can save the patient.

SABU:
What do you mean it wasn't an accident?

JINMAN:
It means that the emergency surgery

you risked performing was for nothing.

WOOJIN:
Will the patient be able to hold on?

JINMAN: The patient will die.
