She's on the transplant waitlist?

Already?

but they determined she'd need a transplant eventually.

But It didn't look that bad.

Some people get on the waitlist as outpatients.

It's hard to tell from just looking.

She came in thinking it was a cold. How could it progress so quickly?

That's why acute myocarditis is dangerous.

Yes, in my first year,

I've seen a patient with acute myocarditis die while waiting for a transplant.

Hey, Moon Seung Jae. Why bring that up now?

Well, I mean...

It's difficult for a child since there aren't many donors.

It's not like she has to wait for a child donor only.

There's a case where they transplanted an adult's heart to a child.

Is that possible?

There's a paper that says they successfully transplanted

an adult's heart to a child despite the 40 kg weight difference.

That's why I tell you to read papers.

I wish I had time to read papers too.

She shares the same blood type and

histocompatibility antigen test results with Han Min Shik.

It means she could get the same heart.

She has acute myocarditis.

If she goes to the ICU with the ECMO by chance,

she might move up on the list than Han Min Shik.

On the record,

Han Min Shik must be on the top of the list.

Do you understand?

Daddy...

She's got bad luck.

It's a bad timing.

[ What did you do today? ]

A tour around the hospital.

[ Was it nice? ]

Yeah.

The hospital is very clean.

Who's the child that held hands with Dr. Choi?

Held hands?

You mean Yoon Seo?

She's at the pediatrics ward.

She's waiting for heart transplant.

That's too bad.

Dr. Choi must've been reminded of his daughter.

Code blue. Code blue.

Pediatrics ward. Pediatrics ward.

Code blue. Code blue.

Pediatrics ward. Pediatrics ward.

Tae Soo.

It can't be, can it?

Dong Joon, please prepare the ECMO.

Okay.

What happened?

- She needs the ECMO right away.- It's on the way.

- How many times did you give her the epinephrine?- Twice.

Let's switch hands. I'll do it.

Two, three...

- Bring me the heparin drip set.- Yes.

[ Pediatrics Ward ]

What are you doing here?

She needs the ECMO right now.

Wake up, Choi Seok Han.

If she gets the ECMO,

don't you know she'll move up above Han Min Shik?

It's better if she dies.

- Chairman!- Will you give up on everything?

Stay out of it.

Stop the compression.

Stop the compression!

Continue.

Give me the lead wire.

Didn't you hear me?

No one in the right mind would listen to that now. Please leave.

She won't make it.

Who'll take care of the loss if she dies after giving her the ECMO?

The loss?

The only thing patients need

when they're on the verge of dying

is the judgment of the medical staff

who'd fight for their lives.

- Yoon Soo Yeon.- Chairman Yoon Hyun Il.

Can you still call yourself a doctor?

The ECMO is here!

Please move!

Hello. Hurry up.

Please leave.

The attending physician is performing CPR.

Please prepare the line.

Yes.

The attending physician.

The attending physician...

The flow looks good.

Thanks, everyone.

Yoon Seo will be okay, right?

Let's wait and see.

- Let's move her to the ICU.- Yes.

I called the transplant center.

That she's in the ICU after getting the ECMO.

The priority level will go up to 0 then.

Yes.

We have to keep up until she gets a transplant.

He wanted Yoon Seo to die.

She has the same blood type as Han Min Shik too.

I'm not sure yet

but I think Uncle already knows

that Yoon Seo is a competitor.

Yoon Seo on the ECMO probably has a higher

priority level than Han Min Shik, who has the VAD.

Since Yoon Seo takes priority over Han Min Shik,

he won't just sit back.

They put the ECMO in right in front of me.

The ECMO!

What will you do now?

Why don't you wait until a heart shows up?

We still have time.

Time?

How much of time do you think we have?

Han Min Shik will ask for the heart after the primary soon.

What will you give him then?

This is the construction plan for the children's heart center.

[ Taesan University Hospital's Children's Heart Center, The Establishment Proposal ]

If Candidate Han Min Shik gets the surgery,

I'll present it to the board meeting next month.

Is that...

enough of a promise for you, not just words?

Now,

it's your turn to keep the promise.

Pardon?

Yoon Seo...

needs to be sent to a different hospital.

She'll get a transplant that way.

If she stays here,

you never know what'll happen.

Let's tell her mother.

[ Thank you. Thank you ]

Yes, yes.

Yes, yes...

I put Dr. Choi Seok Han as her attending physician.

It was a critical moment,

but he managed to save her by treating her quickly.

Doctor.

Chairman said...

he'll take care of the hospital bill, surgery bill,

hospital stay cost after the transplant and even treatment cost.

He said he'd pay for it all.

He just promised her that.

At one point, he told us to kick her out.

Why is he doing this all of a sudden?

That means...

he wants to keep Yoon Seo at Taesan.

He's preparing for when the heart will show up.

Since Yoon Seo is ahead of him on the list.

The reason he changed the attending physician to Dr. Choi is also...

Dr. Choi is Han Min Shik's attending physician as well.

If something happens to the first person on the waitlist,

the attending physician can

give the heart to another person on the list.

He might create a problem...

so he could change the priority level.

Yes.

Who the heart will go to

is entirely up to Dr. Choi's decision.

It's up to Chairman's order, not Dr. Choi's decision.

[ Taesan University Hospital's Children's Heart Center, The Establishment Proposal ]

it's your turn to keep the promise.

As a result to Minseng Party's primary election, Candidate Han Min Shik was

[ 2 months later ]elected as the final candidate

gaining more than half the votes.

After winning the primary election,

Candidate Han Min Shik has hit his stride

on the way toward claiming the presidency.

Yoon Seo.

Hang in there.

Okay?

Where's her mother?

She'll be here soon.

I see.

[ Minseng Party's primary went as expected, Candidate Han Min Shik won ]

I know it's a result anyone could've expected,

but it's our turn now.

You heard the news, right?

A heart showed up.

Yes.

It's not Candidate Han Min Shik's yet.

But you could make it his

since you're Yoon Seo's attending physician.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

I got it.

Doctor.

Yoon Seo's heart...

showed up.

Let's tell Yoon Seo's mother.

Let's go together.

Yoon Seo.

You can get the surgery now.

You've been so patient.

Mom, I can get the surgery.

[ Thank you ]

Yoon Seo.

Congratulations.

You can go home soon, Yoon Seo.

I'm so glad, Mother.

Doctor, when did you learn?

It was an easy one.

Moon Seung Jae, I'm impressed.

Me too.

[ Cancer & Transplant Center ]

What?

That's not possible.

I looked into what was going on.

Because the inflammatory level was high

in her recent blood test,

they're suspecting sepsis.

So she won't get the transplant this time.

Who'll get it then?

Well, the thing is...

Our guess was correct.

[ Dr. Choi Seok Han ]

It's Dr. Choi.

There's no other way now.

The heart...

will be given to Candidate Han Min Shik.

Let's do it together, Tae Soo.

How about Yoon Seo then?

I'll be sure to save her.

You promised then...

that you'd give my mother

your own heart.

You didn't keep the promise.

I want you to...

make the decision.

The only thing I can do

is promise.

Doctor.

I'll join that surgery.

[ The day of Han Min Shik's surgery ]

Hello.

I'm Yoon Hyun Il, the chairman of Taesan Hospital.

This afternoon,

at this hospital,

Minseng Party's presidential candidate, Han Min Shik's

heart transplant operation will take place.

Dr. Choi Seok Han, the attending surgeon will explain the details.

I'm Choi Seok Han of the CS department at Taesan Hospital.

Today's operation...

entails exchanging the candidate's heart, which has a ventricular assist device,

with a donor's heart.

Following the surgery, if he has a smooth recovery,

it'll be an unprecedented case worldwide

for a president who received a heart transplant

to fulfill his duty and finish his term.

Candidate Han Min Shik, who won in a landslide at the primary election,

publicized his heart transplant

and showed his willingness to confront the situation.

But now that the rumor of his poor health turned out to be true,

it'll be a liability during the presidential election.

It will be hard to rule out the possibility of a re-election.

Those people always speak negatively about everything.

Don't worry about it too much, sir.

Sir, how are you feeling?

I'm okay.

Yes.

On behalf of the hospital,

we'll make sure your important job won't be affected.

I'll do my best.

If the operation goes smoothly,

I'll do my best as well.

Sir,

we'll prepare for the operation soon.

[ Surgery in progress ]

- We should call Doc to say we're on the way.- I'll call him.

We finished just now.

We'll be there in an hour if we leave now.

Yes.

Sir.

I'll soon administer the anesthesia and start the operation.

It feels real...

real now that I'm lying down like this.

It'll be all done once you wake up.

Dr. Choi.

Please...

be sure to save me.

I'll see you after the surgery.

Take a deep breath so your chest will inflate.

You'll fall asleep now.

Tae Soo, we're here.

- Dong Joon.- Yeah?

Loupe. I forgot my loupe.

What?

Could you get it? I have another one in the office.

How could you forget your eyes?

- It should be on the desk.- Okay.

Go get ready.

Let's start the operation.

Scalpel.

Doctor.

I'm here, Doctor.

Where's Dr. Park?

What?

Where's Tae Soo?

I thought he was here.

He asked me to bring his loupe.

Is he not here?

I saw him going toward the OR.

- Dr. Koo.- Yes.

- Find out what's happening.- Certainly.

[ Dr. Choi Seok Han ]

- Pick up. Pick up.- Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Park.

Where are you now?

Koo Dong Joon is already here.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can make it today.

Listen carefully, Tae Soo.

It's not too late now

to bring that heart here.

Please, Tae Soo.

Park Tae Soo!

Isn't that Park Tae Soo?

- Zoom in.- Yes.

Yes?

What?

Park Tae Soo's car apparently left Taesan.

I think there's been an error.

The operation will begin soon.

Please wait a moment.

- Tell them to chase him now.- Yes.

I called the police. And our team is on the way too.

We'll catch him soon.

Where is he taking it to...

Chairman?

Where is she?

Where is Lee Yoon Seo?

You...

Find all the hospitals with ORs around here.

Get ready to pay for this.

Hansil Street 2, vehicle 1256.

What happened?

- You knew, didn't you?- What do you mean?

You knew this would happen.

Isn't that why you didn't open him up making all kinds of excuses?

It's not over yet.

I'll get the heart back soon. Just wait.

Did Tae Soo really run with the heart?

To where?

Huh? To give it to whom...

Is it...

It's probably Yoon Seo.

Who else would he go to with the heart?

Where's Yoon Seo right now?

Anyway, I'm worried how we'll manage the aftermath.

What's there to manage anyway?

The heart went to its owner. It worked out.

But what will happen to Dr. Park?

He's willing to pay for it.

Wait a minute.

Did everyone else know about this, but me?

Is that right?

No.

There's an issue. We'll wait a bit.

Yes, what happened?

Is that so?

Okay.

Any updates?

I think they'll catch him soon.

The press can't know about this.

The surgery is going as planned.

Do you understand?

Yes, certainly.

What? You caught him?

They caught Park Tae Soo

and reclaimed the cooler.

- Tell them to hurry back.- Yes.

I told the police.

Bring it back as soon as possible.

It hasn't even been two hours yet.

As long as the heart gets transplanted within four hours,

the surgery will be fine.

Good job.

Here it comes!

Hurry up.

- To the OR...- Hold on.

By chance...

- Good work. - Don't mention it.

- Thank you.- Of course.

Thank you, Doctor.

Let's...

continue with the surgery.

Park Tae Soo!

[ Heart Surgeons ]

We couldn't do the surgery.

You promised to take someone's heart to give it to me!

Dr. Choi will give Candidate Han Min Shik the heart first.

- How about Yoon Seo?- That's why I asked all of you to meet.

Are you crazy? What if you get caught?

Where will you do the surgery?

Chairman is coming here.

What? You found the heart?

Candidate Han Min Shik's heart transplant surgery seems to have been a success.

- That's enough. - I'm not done yet.

Did you think I didn't know about Lee Yoon Seo' s surgery?
