HOSPITAL PLAYLIST
Dr. Ahn, Sang-u is here.
My goodness. Sang-u is here.
Sang-u, say hello to the doctor.
All right. There you go.
Sang-u, you came with a shark today.
Should I take a look at what's inside the shark's mouth?
Oh, no.
Sang-u, why are you crying?
The doctor is going to ease your stomachache.
He's trying to ease your stomachache. Why are you crying?
Don't cry now.
If you keep crying,
this scary doctor is going to scold you and give you a shot.
Right, doctor?
Bad boy! Where's the syringe?
Nurse, where is the big syringe Sang-u is going to get?
Sang-u, be quiet. Stop crying.
If you keep crying, the doctor is going to bring a big syringe.
Stop.
Let's see. I have some snacks for Sang-u right here.
Oh, my goodness. Who scared Sang-u?
Who scared my sweet boy, Sang-u?
Was it the doctor?
It was the doctor, right?
I'll scold him for you.
There.
I scolded a bad doctor for you.
Doctor, why did you scare Sang-u?
He's such a nice boy.
Doctor, you won't scare Sang-u anymore, right?
Right, doctor?
I am sorry, Sang-u.
I'll give you this snack instead of a shot.
Eat this when you're all better.
-Yes. -Professor Ahn.
Ji-su needs her PEG tube changed now.
-Excuse me for a second, Sang-u. -Yes.
Hello.
I took a look at your ultrasound.
It will be difficult to treat with antibiotics.
What does he have exactly?
He has infective endocarditis.
There's an infection in his endocardium.
If we treat it with antibiotics, you may suffer from embolism.
I'm concerned an infected mass might block your vessels.
You must get surgery as soon as possible. Did you find him a bed?
Yes, he can get checked in after 6 p.m.
Check in today and let's book the surgery as soon as we can.
-Is it serious? -Yes.
If the infected mass is small,
antibiotics can be used to break it down.
From your ultrasound, the infected mass is big and dangling.
We can't tell when it will fall off.
If it goes to the brain, it causes a stroke.
If it goes to the heart, it causes a heart attack.
You need to have surgery soon.
Do we have an opening for surgery in two or three days?
No, we're full. There's no opening this week.
We'll do it in the morning if we must. Call Anesthesiology
and ask them to help me with the surgery in two or three days.
Okay.
Doctor, my daughter is getting married in three days.
Can we postpone the surgery until next week?
No, we cannot.
It's only for a couple of days.
-Wouldn't that be okay? -No.
Only if you want to end your life.
Dad, what are you talking about? Don't be foolish.
My wedding isn't what's important now.
You can look at the wedding photos.
Ask her to take lots of photos.
Then I'll see you tomorrow during my rounds.
Let me go over what you need to do.
First, head to the left and have your blood sample drawn.
Why is that doctor so rude?
I am sorry. We are well aware of that.
Second, get an EKG from the room
right next to where you have your blood sample drawn.
-And third... -Well...
Aged 78. His name is Im Gi-yeong.
He underwent coiling a month ago due to an SAH.
He showed symptoms of leg weakness and dementia three days ago
so he was readmitted.
His CT scan revealed that he has hydrocephalus.
It seems the IVH that was accompanied by SAH is gone for now.
EVD...
That's not it. I'm sorry.
I think we should perform a VP shunt.
Shouldn't you have that memorized by now?
You're right.
-Are you sure he needs a VP shunt? -Yes.
No.
-Is he wrong? -Yes, I think so.
Really? I think he's right.
You have until my next round.
Prepare a summary of relevant papers and surgical cases.
Okay.
-You, too. -Okay.
Professor Chae, have you had lunch yet?
We got a new restaurant to deliver to us.
-Which one? -A seafood stew restaurant.
That's too much for delivery food.
They also do a wonderful haemulpajeon.
Join us. We'll set it up in the office.
Go ahead without me. I'll eat with the guys.
The guys?
GONGNYONG RIDGE
SONG-HWA: LUNCH? SEOK-HYEONG: OKAY
GIVE ME A MINUTE
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF MY LIFE
Gyeo-ul, residents rarely get to see a mesocaval shunt in person.
-What are you doing? -I told you not to talk.
-Get out of here. -Let's play fair.
-What are you doing? -Don't do anything.
-Should I start talking, too? -Well...
I...
-I decided-- -It's seafood stew.
-I'm allergic to-- -Song-hwa wants seafood stew.
We're waiting for Gyeo-ul so you come here and be quiet.
Gyeo-ul?
It's all right. There's no pressure.
Take your pick.
-Of course. -We understand.
-We're all fine. -We understand everything.
Then...
I choose HPD.
-Come on! -My gosh.
Come on. A hemicolectomy is a great choice, too.
-My gosh. -Darn it.
The guardians must be here too.
-Goodness. -I mean... Why is it you again?
I don't know.
Let's go. Song-hwa ordered some big-eyed herring too.
And Jun-wan?
He's in PICU now. I guess he won't be joining us.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
What's Hui-dong's weight today?
It's three kilograms.
I can close him up now. Let's get ready.
Where's Jae-hak?
He went out to get the med students earlier.
Right. I guess he's more suited to that.
Let's get started.
CS has a lot of emergency surgeries. And our cases are the most dramatic.
Someone who was fine in the morning
could be dead by the afternoon in CS.
Do you know who the best cardiothoracic surgeon is?
Ji Sung.
-Who? -Ji Sung from New Heart.
I've watched medical dramas since I was ten.
Not him.
Teacher Kim from Dr. Romantic?
Were your names Cheol and Mi-ae?
-We're Hong-do and Yun-bok. -Hong-do and Yun-bok.
Guys, listen up.
Great doctors like them don't exist at this hospital.
There's only Thanos here.
You'll meet him soon.
-Yes, sir. -Where are you now?
I'm on my way.
-Will they perform the surgery here? -Yes.
It's more dangerous to move the patient to an OR with that many drips.
Are you Gyeon-u and Jik-nyeo?
We're Hong-do and Yun-bok.
-Third year in med school? -Yes.
-Pay attention. -Okay.
Professor,
-is this surgery difficult? -The baby will live, right?
Four days ago, he had a TGA, transposition of the great arteries.
His heart swelling was too severe. I couldn't close him up.
Seeing his heart today, I might be able to close him. So, I'll do it now.
He will live, right?
I'm closing him up because he's doing better.
Jae-hak, bring them in.
Pardon?
I see. Okay.
What do you think you're doing? You'll contaminate him.
Do you have a death wish?
He means the guardians.
Sir, Chan-hyeong has a slight fever.
Since when?
When I checked at 8 a.m., it was 36°C.
I checked again just now and it's 38.3°C. His nose is a little runny, too.
-Can we perform the surgery today? -Let me see him.
His lung doesn't sound good, either. We can't operate on him like this.
Give me five minutes. Remove the membrane for me.
Can I touch the baby?
-I disinfected my hands. -Okay.
What's wrong with this baby?
Jae-hak, get Chan-hyeong's guardians now.
He has Tetralogy of Fallot. It's a congenital heart defect.
He has a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis,
right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta, all together.
We were scheduled to operate this afternoon.
His oxygen saturation is a little low, though.
He's showing symptoms of pneumonia.
He needs this surgery as soon as possible.
They are here.
Flex.
I have bad news.
We need to postpone the surgery by a day or two.
He has a fever and his lung doesn't sound good.
I plan to reschedule after taking an X-ray of his lungs.
He's still finding it hard to breathe.
He might be in more pain if we rush into surgery.
We'll do that, then.
If it's a mild case of pneumonia, he'll recover in two to three days.
We'll observe him for a few days.
Do you have any questions?
No.
You'll reschedule the surgery and let us know, right?
We know. You explained already.
Okay, then.
My gosh, they seem so composed. Their son's life is at stake.
They are just immature. Did you see how young his mother is?
She was born in 2000.
I like that she's calm.
Do you think it's possible that she's not herself right now
because of the pressure she's under and she needs to escape from reality?
She's still very young.
Maybe she's having trouble coming to terms with her situation.
-Jae-hak. -Yes?
Why do you talk so much?
Mind your own business.
Okay.
Let's get going.
Hey, little baby.
Don't be sick.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
I feel dizzy.
-It's Ik-jun's favorite song. -It's my favorite song.
-No, it's my song. -If you lie down after eating,
you'll get reflux esophagitis.
Song-hwa. Did your eyes get worse?
We had the same eyesight but now I can't see.
Try removing your contacts.
What's taking Jun-wan so long?
Guys, I haven't told you this yet,
but I sing this song really well.
I kept quiet until now because of the fuss you guys make.
Do you want to go to a karaoke? Is that it?
What do you say? Should we go tonight? Oh, good.
-Anything for me? -Of course. Come, sit down.
-That was quick. -Yes.
It was a delayed sternal closure. Do you have ketchup?
You have all sorts of stuff.
It came with the food.
Please, stop wiping the table. You should see a shrink.
If I don't, there will be flies.
Put that down before I smack you.
Hey.
-Did you guys know? -What?
What?
I can sing this song really well.
Isn't this "Aloha" by Cool?
I made a lot of girls cry with this song.
Right. In Hawaii.
-This is good. -Hawaii?
-Don't. -What about it?
-What? -What?
-Something happened in Hawaii, right? -You bet.
Hey, he...
He was in Hawaii for a month after his medical board exam.
Stop moving about.
-Ouch. -You're all over the place.
He's been famous for that since high school.
He was friends with everyone in ten different classes.
He was noisy, easily distracted and moved about constantly.
I don't know how he always got the top grades in school.
That's what kids today call being "on fleek."
And he's "unfleek."
I'm trying to listen to the song.
You annoying prick.
Did you pick Professor Lee's surgery again?
-Yes. -Gyeo-ul.
Do you like Professor Lee?
Yes.
I like Professor Lee.
He has a kid.
So what?
Nothing.
Have we ever performed "Aloha"?
No, we have not. We never performed a show.
At least, we had a conscience.
Hey, do you remember?
We practiced all night to perform a show with this song.
But that jerk registered our band as a comedy team.
And that jerk told us on the day of the festival.
He said we weren't on the poster because we were a secret weapon.
Gosh, that idiot.
He's lucky he's a doctor. Otherwise, he'd be a fraud.
Our band was closer to a comedy than a music show.
I saved you guys from getting beaten up by the audience.
-Come on. -But still,
we improved a lot in three to four years.
We did well given our situation.
Besides, you guys were scared.
When you found out about the show, your hands shook for a week.
-I thought he had hand tremors. -Gosh.
I was worried he might not be able to finish his internship
-with those shaky hands. -Stop making stories up.
Did we suck that bad? I thought we were pretty good.
Performing on stage is a different matter altogether.
It was like Gag Concert.
Ik-jun got so mad while he tried to teach you to play the bass guitar.
Damn it. I'm still angry about that.
Hey, I wasn't that bad.
Besides... He's good but he was a terrible teacher.
Even so, I like Ik-jun's voice.
There you go. Good one.
I'll sing for you guys today.
Let's go to karaoke after work.
If we had time to go to karaoke, we wouldn't be here eating seafood stew.
I have VSD surgery.
I have a conference with the PED tonight.
I'm grocery shopping with Mom.
What about this weekend?
I'm golfing with the director and chairman.
-A half-marathon. It's been a while. -I'm going camping.
I'm getting my nails done with Mom.
Fine, we won't go.
You guys are ridiculous.
Do you think I've got nothing better to do than go to karaoke with you?
I'm busy, too.
I need to watch a movie and do some coloring with U-ju.
We need to eat loach soup, too.
I won't go. I'm not going! Gosh.
-He'll probably go, right? -One hundred percent.
SU KARAOKE
-Guess where we are, U-ju. -Is that a nightclub?
-Who taught you that word? -Aunt did.
Aunt Terminator told me
that you lived at a place called nightclub a long time ago.
Nightclub Rat.
That's true.
Your dad used to live in an apartment named "Nightclub."
But this isn't that apartment.
This place is... You know that I'm in a band, right?
Like in Super Wings, I sing, dance, and put on shows.
I'm just like them.
And this is the first place I ever performed.
You could say that I spent my youth here.
U-ju.
Suddenly...
I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Dad. Please buy me one more corn dog.
The corn dog... Have you finished that already?
Yes.
Okay. Let's go before the stall closes. All right.
-Is the corn dog that good? -Yes.
Hey, U-ju.
You only say "please" when you want something from me.
No, that's not true. That's news to me.
What? Where did you learn that?
-Mom. -My gosh.
I stayed up all night
Seeing you smile makes me happy
Even if you're just joking
Hey.
Sorry. I was trying to reserve a song, but I ended up canceling it.
-Liar. -That's right. I lied.
Hey, wake up.
What's wrong with him?
He took three calming pills this morning.
Because of the show?
Seok-hyeong is a hermit and a sociophobe, who lives in isolation.
-My gosh, what was the last one? -A coward.
Yes. With that, he was known as the Grand Slammer.
Hey, it's my turn!
I requested something. Give me a second.
Listen. It should be me, Seok-hyeong,
Ik-jun, Jun-wan, then Song-hwa. So it's my turn to sing.
Are you actually keeping count? Are you some kind of a pervert?
Where's Ik-jun?
We're here because of him.
My goodness. What is this song?
"ALOHA" BY COOL
-Did you pick this song? -No, I didn't.
Then, who did?
A candle in the dark
A wineglass filled with our promise
I will always stay by your side And protect you
After all, you believed in me
I'll ask only one thing from you
I'm dreaming To be eternally happy with you
It doesn't have to be fancy I don't need a perfect life
The only thing I want is you

In my arms
-I believe -Sit down, guys.

I will always love you
With my everlasting love for you
"From this moment on,
the most important person in my life isn't me but you.
I cannot show my determination with words,
but I love only you.
-Like friends -You said he was shy.
-or like couples, -Too much medication.
until my last breath, I will only love you."
As we believe we are of one
And as we always trust one another
-Stay on beat. -I hope we will comfort each other
In misery and celebrate
-Happiness together -Hey, slowly.
-I promise you -I believe
-When things get hard -I believe
I'll be your protector

HOSPITAL PLAYLIST
-At seven o'clock, let's meet up! -Let's meet up!
Hello, this is Lee Soo-geun.
Hey, Ji-won, say hello.
Hello. I'm Ji-won.
Ji-won, I looked at the calendar for May today.
I noticed there are so many holidays in May.
-There's a holiday for you, too. -Children's Day!
That's right. There's Children's Day and there's Parents' Day.
And Teachers' Day as well! There are so many!
Are you trying to sell something?
We're discussing holidays. You sound like a street peddler.
But there's one thing that disappoints me. There's no holiday for myself.
Come on, Soo-geun. You do whatever you want every day.
-What do you mean? -Every single day.
What if you could do only the things you want to do for one day?
How about we try to live today like that?
May is the perfect month for that.
Here's our first song. It's a song by Cool. It's in English.
-Ji-won. -"One Summer Drive".
"One Summer Drive."
Over here!
One, two.
-Let's do this! -Let's go!
-Good luck. -Let's complete the run!
You have one minute before we start!
I try to get rid of your scent in the wind
Get going, it doesn't matter where
Hello, sir. I'm here.
You can park your car in B-104. It's empty now.
Okay. Thank you.
Good luck with your records!
Five, four, three, two, one.
Shouldn't we send him to a mental hospital or something?
-You are right. -Goodness.
HYEON-HO MIGHT HAVE SURGICAL BLEEDING. ELEVATED LACTIC ACID LEVEL, NO URINE
RESIDENT YONG SEOK-MIN
YEONINSAN CAMPSITE, B-104
Look at that. Nice shot!
-Nice shot. -He's good.
Isn't it hard to handle VIP patients on top of your regular patients?
No, it's doable. There are other doctors, too.
It's nice to see a young doctor like you.
I envy your friendship, too.
Jong-su, the tenth hole is too far.
Let's take the cart.
He's my cousin.
-That's supposed to be a secret. -Everyone knows.
-Everyone at the hospital knows. -No.
Not everyone knows.
Hey, you know what?
People know even the things you assume they have no idea about.
Hey, I'm tired too. Let's take the cart.
-Let's just walk. -Take the cart.
Let's walk.
Are you upset?
How much did you prescribe?
What about the IO?
Okay. I'll be there soon.
Thank you.
-You and me. -A scamming phone call.
"Sir, I need you to go to an ATM right now."
Professor Yang. What a surprise to see you here.
I thought you weren't eating.
My schedule suddenly freed up.
I see.
-Professor Yang, why didn't you tell us? -Yes?
About what?
You were in a comedy club during pre-med.
I was so surprised. I didn't see it coming.
I thought you were a loner, but you're pretty cool.
No, I wasn't. Who said that?
Dr. Jang told us.
Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul who is a third-year GS resident.
Hello.
Dr. Jang. It's true, isn't it?
You said those five professors who were born in 1980 were in a comedy club.
-That's what I heard, too. -From whom?
Professor Lee Ik-jun of Hepatopancreatic Surgery.
I see.
Weren't you in the middle of your meal?
Try some bread. It's really good.
Okay. Dig in.
Professor Yang, we'd love to have a meal with you.
I hear Dr. Jang buys them beef.
Sure. Eat up. I'll treat you to beef some other time.
Right?
My gosh. I should get going.
I just got a text message that they have the result of the MRI I requested.
Bye, then.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Have a good day. -Okay.
Goodness. Bye.
Tae-in, did you get any MRI requests from ob-gyn today?
No, there's none. I just checked before I came down here.
Gosh, what is with him?
How does he get along with other people?
Professor Yang is good at what he does, though.
He's not authoritative, and he always does his work.
-I like him. -Is that how things work in America?
I heard he did his fellowship in the States.
Is it the merit of individualism?
Tell me how that's considered merit.
He's just a frustrating sloth.
I just wish he would talk at least.
I can never read what he's thinking.
Dr. Jang, who's that? Your boyfriend?
-Even his photo makes you that happy? -Yes, it does.
-Yes. It does make me happy. -My gosh.
I'll get going now.
An ambulance brought her in due to a severe stomachache.
According to the X-ray scan, it could be an ileus.
We called you because she had a liver transplant before.
She released gas and had diarrhea while waiting.
Good work. Can you bend your knees for me?
I'm sorry, doctor. It's the weekend.
Gyu-bin, you know I'm always on call. Give me a second.
You had diarrhea and released gas, right?
Yes. But it doesn't hurt at all now.
I thought I was going to die in the ambulance.
As soon as I saw your face, the pain disappeared completely.
-I'm really sorry. -It's okay. You're recovering.
But Gyu-bin, I'm really sorry about the scar.
That's nothing. I'm just glad to be back in school.
Goodness.
Can I take a scan quickly?
-Yes. -Okay.
I knew it. See?
I knew you would be here. Is this the golf course?
Jeez. Take a look at this.
What is it? I don't have much time.
I've had revision surgery. They're closing up now, so I need to get back.
It won't take long.
This teenage patient had an LDLT.
It's not as visible with steroids,
but the hypertrophy on the vertical scar is a bit too noticeable.
Can you refer this case to a scar clinic?
Sure.
Send her to my department. I'll take a look.
My gosh.
Ik-sun also has biliary atresia.
She still has a big scar on her stomach from Kasai's operation.
Ik-sun's still alive?
What? Why would she be dead?
Wasn't that your dog's name?
-That's Micky. -Micky is your sister.
-My sister is Ik-sun. -That's your dog.
My dog's name is Ik-sun.
No, my dog's name is Micky. Micky is Ik-sun.
Damn it. You confused me.
My younger sister's name is Ik-sun.
Hey, what is this?
This is a recommendation letter for priests.
Right?
-It's for real this time, right? -Yes.
I feel bad for Jeong-won's mother.
Same. That jerk.
-Is it Jeong-won? -No, it's my wife.
Your wife? You have a wife?
Yes, I have a wife.
The ambitious Ms. Yuk Hye-jeong?
She's so busy, I'll forget her face pretty soon.
That's enough.
Hey, honey. It's been so long!
What time is it over there?
Okay.
Is your marathon course here?
-Tell me which hole this room counts as. -Yes.
Okay.
-It's his wife. -Okay.
-Really? -Okay. Sure.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
She's coming back tomorrow.
She's coming straight to the hospital because she misses me.
It's because it's Children's Day in two days.
-Has it been a year since you saw her? -A year and a half.
She should've been here for her mom's anniversary at least.
Whatever! That's not my business.
Gosh, Yuk Hye-jeong.
She's my friend and I was the one who set him up with her.
I have never seen anyone who is as ambitious as she is.
I've never seen you badmouth anyone either.
Stop it. She's my wife. And she's U-ju's mother.
The virgin and the bachelor should shut it.
That's such an outdated term. A "bachelor."
Hey, Jeong-won. What is this?
Are you really going to quit to become a priest?
-Did you RSVP? -Is that important right now?
Listen. If you...
Hey, Gyeo-ul.
Of course. I collected a lot of those. Yes.
-Okay. I got it. -When is it?
-Did you talk to the director? -Okay.
I'll tell him next week.
I won't be leaving right away.
I'll stay until the end of the year and resign then.
I'm going to go see Gyeo-ul.
Seriously. Wait.
Look over here. Look at the camera.
One, two, three.
-What was that? -What are you doing?
Jeong-won will leave us soon. We should leave lots of photos behind.
-Bye. -What the...
Is he having an affair with Gyeo-ul?
Don't you have a photo of him alone?
Give me some time. I'm waiting for the right time.
But Jeong-won catches on really fast.
Did you ask him about me? What does he think of me?
-Not yet. -Why not?
It'd be too obvious. Is that okay?
Yes. I don't mind.
So, please ask him what he thinks of me.
Why don't you tell him you like him then?
That's too...
-I'm too shy to do that. -Gosh.
-But you're not shy talking to me? -No.
Okay, fine. I'll be extra sneaky
and ask him what he thinks of you.
I'm doing this because I think highly of your courage.
This is yukjeon. It's from Gwangju.
Oh, my. Are you serious? Yukjeon?
Why do you like Jeong-won so much?
Everything.
Do you need water?
I'm fine.
Gyeo-ul.
I think you have this fantasy about Jeong-won.
The way he treats people at the hospital
and the way he behaves around us are very different.
What is he like? I want to hear everything.
He's so sensitive.
He loses sleep for a month if something goes wrong with his patient.
He's so humanitarian.
And he's extremely stubborn.
He is a man of principles.
And he's not rich. He's dirt poor.
He mooches off Jun-wan.
Isn't that noblesse oblige?
Are we playing a game of antonyms?
What else? Tell me everything.
Most importantly, he...
Gosh.
Dating...
No. He's not interested in women.
I have never seen him with a girl, ever.
This is for your ears only.
Jeong-won is interested in something else.
Is he a sexual minority?
Jeez. Not like that. I mean he wants to be a man of God.
Not pride. A priest.
I doubt that.
I hope so, too.
I know that Professor Ahn is a devout Catholic.
All his brothers are priests, and his sisters are nuns.
But he's not a priest yet.
He just wants to be one.
Then I still have a chance.
Ik-jun, give me a cigarette.
Not with Gyeo-ul of all people.
You prick, you'd better come to your senses before I beat you up.
What are you thinking? You're married.
What?
What do you think of Gyeo-ul?
-What? -What do you think of her?
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
SURGERY STATUS, IN WAITING
Hey.
Dad just came down.
Before we move you to the OR, let me check a few things.
-What's your name? -It's Jeong Su-beom.
Let me check your ID bracelet.
You are here today to be operated on by Professor Kim Jun-wan
of Cardiothoracic Surgery?
Yes.
Dad. Be strong in there, okay?
Everything will be fine. Don't worry.
My sweetheart.
I am sorry.
I can't come to your wedding because I am sick.
I am so sorry, sweetie.
Why are you sorry? I am sorry, Dad.
How could I get married when you're sick?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
We're going to move the patient into the OR now.
How have you been?
How are you feeling?
Let me explain about the surgery.
As I told you, I'll remove the infected mass
and mold the area with the leftover tissue.
It will take about five hours.
But it could be longer if there's a complication.
Doctor, you've done this surgery many times, right?
Yes.
Then, we don't have to worry too much, right?
This surgery isn't life-threatening or anything, right?
I cannot guarantee that.
There are a lot of variables during surgery.
Oh, no.
However, I will do my best.
Jeez.
You should have just told them that he's going to be fine.
The patient's daughter is getting married today.
The whole family must already feel bad for each other.
You should have been nicer to them.
You could have just told them
that the surgery will be successful, so they have nothing to worry about.
Couldn't you just say that?
This surgery isn't that difficult for you.
What if the patient has periannular abscess?
What if he has brain damage from an embolism during surgery?
But the chance of that happening is very low.
He has no feelings.
How do feelings help with surgery?
I'll be emotional if it helps, but it doesn't.
It doesn't help at all.
I'm sorry.
Never talk to the patients like that again.
"It's a simple surgery. You will live.
This surgery will go well. Don't worry about anything."
Don't. Got it?
Yes.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
One iced Americano with three shots, please.
-Hello, Professor Kim. -Hello.
You guys are here early. A piece of chocolate cake, too.
We've been here since eight in the morning.
Is that so? That's impressive.
-Pay with this. -What?
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Dr. Do is good to you, right?
Yes, he's really nice.
Goodness. I'm glad to hear that.
Can I ask you why you chose Cardiothoracic Surgery?
It's our assignment to do an interview. We've asked another professor as well.
Who?
We've just started, so we've only interviewed one professor.
It's Professor Chae Song-hwa of Neurosurgery.
What did she say?
She chose Neurosurgery because she wanted to study.
There is still a lot to study in her field.
I know. No one knows it better than I do.
What about you, sir?
Me? I went to an Internet cafe
and a cardiothoracic surgeon I sat next to told me to choose CS.
-Professor, please. -I'm serious.
I was asked whether I wanted to make money or teach.
I said I'd prefer to teach
and he told me to choose CS.
That's why I'm here.
I see.
May I have this chocolate cake?
No, you may not.
-Just get one more. -Okay.
Irrigation is very important. You know that, right?
-Yes. -Why is it important?
Well...
Through the microscope,
you can see that it's close to the optic nerve.
So, a bipolar cautery can cause thermal injuries,
which can result in loss of vision after the surgery.
Ms. Nam, we should operate on Chan-hyeong tomorrow.
Yes. His lung sounds have improved, and the X-rays look much better.
Yes. It will be hard for him if we keep putting it off.
His guardians are here, right?
Yes, I'll go bring them in.
Jae-hak, do you happen to have a suit here?
Yes, I always keep one at the office.
Can I borrow it?
-They went home. -What?
They went home, when their child is that sick?
How can that be possible?
Chan-hyeong's mom went home for a bit.
Both of his grandmothers are here though.
They should be in the lounge.
Shall I go bring them in?
Yes, please.
We've been postponing the surgery due to pneumonia,
but the fever has gone down, and so has the CRP.
I think now would be the best time.
Is the operation dangerous, doctor?
-Are you his grandmother? -I'm his maternal grandmother.
-This is his paternal grandmother. -I see.
For now, please be informed that we will operate tomorrow afternoon.
When his parents are back, I'll walk them through the details.
You can just tell us instead.
His mom is only 20.
She's clueless because she's so young.
The same goes for my son.
That's right. You can just tell us, doctor.
Then I'll speak to all of you later.
His mom is still his legal guardian.
I'll see you then.
You can talk to the grandmothers, professor.
I'll go over everything with his mom and get the consent form signed.
Don't overlook a single detail.
-Your suit is at the office? -Yes.
-What color is it? -Color?
Yes, what color is your suit?
Are you worried that it might be silver?
Jun-wan, are you...
Oh, boy.
Don't say anything.
Okay.
Are you not going to have lunch? I'm hungry.
How about braised hairtail fish?
I suddenly got a craving for it for some reason.
I have to go out. I'm meeting someone.
What are you going to eat?
Steak.
Gosh, I don't like steak.
Shall I eat out, too? It's been a while.
Hello. This is Ahn Jeong-won.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Gosh.
Chi-hong, can you wrap this up for me?
Sure.
You have to insert the Hemovac first.
Yes.
Are you going to keep breaking it?
Control your strength. Be gentle with it.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'll stop talking.
You should focus. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Mr. Yuk Hui-gwan.
-Congratulations. You can go home now. -Thank you.
Your surgical wound has been disinfected
and wrapped in waterproof bandage.
You can take a shower right away.
As for food, you can eat normally but please try not to overeat.
Mom, can you transform this?
In a bit, Won-jun. Give me a minute.
You have an appointment booked in a week from now.
The biopsy results will be available then.
If you need the diagnosis for your insurance, just let us know.
-Okay, thank you. -Thank you.
Hurry, Mom. I want this transformed into the robot.
Is Dr. Lee Ik-jun doing rounds today by any chance?
I haven't had a chance to thank him properly.
He did such an excellent job.
Won-jun!
-Hello, Dr. Lee. -Yes, hello.
Give me that. I'll do it for you.
My gosh.
Mr. Yuk, you don't even look like a patient without your IV drip.
You're handsome.
Gosh, I'm flattered.
You remembered his name.
You must have a lot of patients.
My wife's surname is also Yuk.
Other than her, you're the only one I know with that surname.
Actually, there's my father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece.
Gosh, there are so many.
You're going home today, right?
Yes. Tomorrow is Children's Day, so I'm happy I can be home for that.
Yes, you're right.
I can't go anywhere far.
We're just going to eat at a Chinese restaurant near our place.
Won-jun loves jajangmyeon.
My kid loves jajangmyeon too. All kids do.
You had a simple laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
so don't worry about post-surgical complications.
Don't overexert yourself
but try to walk as much as you can.
Exercise will help you, okay?
All right. Here you go.
Wow, who are you?
Won-jun.
You silly goose, what do you think?
I'm the one who got rid of the ouchy from your dad's tummy.
Goodbye. I'll see you at your next appointment.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Say goodbye properly.
-Thank you, Dr. Lee! -My pleasure!
Oh, my. Look at this.
-Hello. -Hello.
Hello.
Did Song-hwa scold you again?
-Yes. -No.
I guess it was you then.
It was Chi-hong this time.
But he said no.
He's a tough cookie because he has a military background.
It happened because I couldn't answer her questions.
Even I thought I sounded dumb.
You graduated from the Korea Military Academy, right?
-Yes. -I know someone from...
Hello?
Yes, where are you?
Okay, I'll head over there now. All right.
Yes, Professor.
Right.
Yes, I got it.
You know the emergency patient from the traffic accident yesterday?
-Yes. -We haven't operated
because of unstable vitals and severe bleeding.
But it seems Professor Chae
-will perform the surgery tonight. -I see.
-There will be a meeting later. -Okay, great.
-"Great"? Really? -Yes.
She totally put you on the spot earlier.
She was just asking questions.
I wanted to work on that case anyway.
I was hoping to be assigned in assisting Professor Chae for the case.
This is perfect.
-Dr. Ahn. -Yes.
Why don't you get a cranial CT scan?
Sure, if there's an employee discount.
Sounds good. We'll do that.
You should take a nap
and I'll see you guys tonight.
Okay.
She was going to do that with the surgery anyway.
You know that's not what matters.
What matters to her is whether we knew it or not.
There are roses.
Is it already the season for roses?
Dr. Yong, you're very observant.
My family has a flower shop.
Everyone knows what roses look like.
Not really. These days,
many people don't know the names of plants and flowers.
Are they fake flowers?
That's just wrong.
I'm just realizing that it's been a long time since I saw real flowers.
Professor Chae, are you going camping again this weekend?
Yes, why do you ask?
Can we join?
You can come, right? You're not working this weekend.
Can we join?
Yes, you can. But do you guys really want to come?
Yes.
You keep us on our toes,
but you don't make us uncomfortable.
Gosh, Seok-min. My goodness.
I just can't hate you.
You annoy me here and there,
but you don't make me uncomfortable.
Okay, let's do it. There, you can see real roses
as well as butterflies.
I'm off.
Did you order?
The coffee here is very good.
Do you want some cake?
Can we go somewhere quiet?
-What? -I have to talk to you about something.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Ho-jun.
Go get changed.
I brought a T-shirt and a pair of pants for you.
The visiting hours will begin shortly.
I'll get changed after I see Dad.
Gosh, you still have 20 to 30 minutes.
Hey, I see some chairs over there. Let's go sit down.
Okay.
She must be out of her mind.
I can't believe this. Did she cancel her honeymoon?
Eun-bin! We're here.
Hey, don't be like that.
Everything went well.
Jin-hui is a good photographer.
No, it's my camera.
Downloading all the photos would be a nuisance,
so I told her to use my phone to take photos.
Oh, your uncle was there too.
He said he wouldn't be able to make it.
Oh, who's this?
Isn't he the doctor who performed your dad's surgery?
Eun-bin, Dad's doctor came to your wedding?
Yes.
When?
He was the first one to stop by the bride's room.
What's with that face though?
He didn't even take a picture. He just ate and left.
Come on. Be grateful that he came.
He asked me about the main course. I told him it's galbitang.
Then he got excited and rushed to the diner.
He obviously came to my wedding to have dinner.
Come on. Galbitang is nothing.
I'd love to take him out for a steak dinner.
He'd say no to that anyway.
Doctors can't say yes to things like that.
I didn't think he'd be like this,
but he's actually very charming.
The ICU is open now. Come on in.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, don't cry.
Are you going to cry in front of Dad?
Seriously, don't cry.
Why are you crying? His surgery went well.
Dad will be so sad to see you cry.
Stop crying.
You will break Dad's heart. You know that, right?
Right.
Smile.
Give me a bigger smile.
Aren't you leaving?
Hey. I have surgery tomorrow as well as patient appointments,
-so I have a lot to do. -Then reschedule the surgery.
I can't do that.
How many appointments?
Twenty.
I have to go through their charts.
Why are you still here?
Everyone did a good job with the surgery,
so I want to stop by the office.
-Go check in on Ik-jun. -Why?
I think something's up, but he won't tell me.
-Really? -I think it's a family matter,
so I didn't want to pry.
But that doesn't sound like him.
Well, I'm sure he'll sort it out.
Bye.
What did you just say?
I said I want a divorce.
I wouldn't call this a normal marriage.
Let's just go back to being friends.
We're like this because this was what you wanted.
When you got transferred,
I told you I'd follow you to Germany
and you refused.
You wanted me to keep working.
Also, you wanted to raise U-ju in Korea.
That's why we're living like this. So were we...
Were we separated?
No, we weren't.
I like that you have a career.
And I can totally look after U-ju by myself.
I know that we've been living apart for quite a while,
but we made that decision together.
Why are you saying...
What's going on?
What's the real reason?
There's no such thing.
I just felt that it was meaningless
to maintain this kind of marriage.
Do you mistrust me?
No.
I'm going to have lunch with U-ju tomorrow,
just the two of us.
It's a special day, you know.
You should work.
I'll stay with him tomorrow.
And about what I said...
I hope you take it seriously.
Dr. Ahn, do you want to go for coffee?
Sure.
How many questions did I ask you today?
I'm not sure.
There were many. So many.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Chi-hong, do you know how many operations I perform on a weekly basis?
Jeez, I'm asking you a question again.
I have a problem, don't I?
I'm really sorry.
I think you do more than five a week, on average.
That means, in a year...
I probably do about 250, roughly speaking.
Right.
I want you to be on your toes.
When you're performing surgery or treating patients.
Both you and Seok-min
should stay alert and focused at all times. That's why I do it.
Yes.
You see, this job is hard.
But you get used to it quickly.
The thing is though, we should never get too comfortable doing this.
That's why.
Right.
It's not because I don't like you, so don't get me wrong.
And you'd better not give up halfway through.
Okay.
Just trust me and follow my lead.
-Do you understand, Captain Ahn? -Yes, ma'am.
-Hey. -Professor, Chan-hyeong is doing great.
I checked everything just now.
Really? There's no need for me to check? All his ABGA and PaO2 results look good?
Yes. Everything looks good,
so just go home already.
All right.
Dr. Do walked you through the surgery procedure, right?
Chan-hyeong's condition has improved, so we'll perform surgery...
Oh, my.
Doctor, please take good care of Chan-hyeong.
My gosh, you've been staying so strong until now.
Please save Chan-hyeong.
I wish it was me instead of him.
Don't cry.
You've been holding out so well.
I've been barely keeping it together.
Both my mom and my mother-in-law think that we're still kids.
Everyone says that we're immature.
So I've been acting all tough on purpose.
I wanted to cry, but I was afraid
that they'd say we're too young to deal with this.
They would tell me to go home if I burst into tears.
What if they wouldn't even let me see Chan-hyeong?
That's why I've been forcing myself to act all tough.
But I can't do it anymore.
Doctor, Chan-hyeong will be okay, right?
We've performed this surgery many times.
We'll make sure he'll be okay.
Then, it will go well, right?
Yes, we'll do our best.
Thank you.
By the way, why did you go home in the morning?
Oh, Hui-dong's Mom...
-is a shaman. -Oh, I see.
She said putting a crock lid upside down and filling it with water
could help Chan-hyeong recover soon.
I'm sorry. I heard that doctors don't like such superstitions.
Gosh, don't be sorry. It's okay.
If it helps you worry less, you should do it. By all means.
Then...
Just this.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Uncles and Aunts.
Chan-hyeong is here.
His CRP levels have gone up a little.
Yes, but his CBC level
and chest X-ray from this morning look good.
All right.
Wakanda.
You don't know what it is? Black Panther.
Don't say "Forever." Just stay still like that.
LEE CHAN-HYEONG
Pump on, please.
Turning the pump on.
ANESTHESIA DURATION, CURRENT TIME, SURGERY DURATION
Is the color of the drainage okay?
What about the AC?
Okay. Call me when you have the per-hour urine output.
All right.
Professor, why didn't you answer your phone?
-I was on the phone. -My gosh.
They said they couldn't get a hold of you. That's why I'm here. The thing is...
It's about Mr. Yuk Hui-gwan.
What about him?
He was discharged yesterday.
They were going through the records
and found out that he is the brain-dead organ donor.
He came in as a TA victim.
His GCS score was five, which indicated a high probability of brain death.
His family has consented to organ donation,
so they've already done an EEG.
The committee will meet soon to confirm the diagnosis.
Initially, I was just notified that it was a traffic accident victim.
They wanted us to let you know as soon as possible
because he's your patient.
The organ is going to another patient at our hospital,
so we'll have to take care of the procurement as well.
Gosh, I feel bad.
His tricuspid valve is very small, so it's hard to see.
No, not that way. Pull it toward the patient's head.
Yes.
Pull harder, or we'll have to make a bigger incision.
Okay, I'm sorry.
You see that monitor, right?
The line is flat now, which means the heart rate is zero.
That means he's dead.
No.
It just means that Chan-hyeong's current heart rate is zero.
His heart isn't beating at the moment.
They can't operate on him while the heart is beating.
That's why the cardioplegia solution is administered
every 30 minutes to induce cardiac stasis when performing
any cardiac surgery procedures.
And during cardiac stasis, that machine over there
acts as the patient's heart and lungs.
It supplies blood throughout the body
while doctors are operating on the heart.
All right. Let's go over it again.
Stop Chan-hyeong's heart, which is replaced by the machine.
While the machine's working, the doctors quickly fix the heart.
When everything's fixed,
they get rid of the tubes that hook him up to the machine.
You're telling me all this so that you can remember the steps.
You're doing it to memorize the steps.
That's right.
-You understand the procedure, right? -Yes, totally.
Gwang-hyeon.
The brain-dead TA patient, Yuk Hui-gwan. Where is he?
Oh, they've finished doing all the tests on him in the ICU.
The committee will meet soon to finalize the diagnosis.
He's a TA victim, but I heard the organs are in good condition.
They're probably negotiating the time frame with the other hospital.
Why? Do you know that patient?
He was my patient.
He was totally fine when he was discharged yesterday.
Really? My goodness.
It must've been a very difficult decision.
You should say a proper goodbye.
All right.
Have you seen his family?
No, I don't know that much.
Okay.
Hello.
Should I head home now?
No, there's no need.
The emergency medicine worked like magic.
It's already looking much better.
-He's asleep now. -My goodness.
If you come home now, you'll just wake him up.
It won't be good.
I called to let you know that he's okay, so don't worry.
But I have to say, how could U-ju's mom
not even know about her son's peanut allergy?
My goodness.
Do you know which restaurant it was?
I'll call them.
I should find out exactly what he ate.
Okay, hold on.
Yes.
-Okay, thank you. -Mom.
How come Daddy isn't here yet?
Where's Daddy? Where did he go?
Mom!
Mister!
Can you buy me jajangmyeon?
Sure, I'll buy you jajangmyeon.
ANESTHESIA DURATION
We'll stop the ventilation.
Stop the ventilation.
Anesthesiologist.
Position the patient's head down and hook up the Ambu bag.
Is it all over now?
They did everything they could in surgery.
Now, the question is whether his heart will beat or not
without the machine.
If it does, then it's a success.
His heart isn't beating though.
Just wait.
Now, the aorta.
Hey, don't look at that.
You should be looking at the number on top in green.
His heart rate is zero at the moment. That number needs to go up.
It's going up.
-Good job, guys. -Thank you.
I'll finish up.
Of course, you should.
Can these guys get the surgical gowns?
You hear his heartbeat, right?
-Yes. -Yes.
You should know better as med school students.
You're probably hearing your own heartbeat.
I see.
I'll let you touch it once. Be very careful though.
While touching it, thank Chan-hyeong for staying alive.
Okay.
What's wrong?
It's very strong.
The heartbeat feels very strong, Professor.
YEAR 2003
Doesn't the heartbeat feel so strong?
It's quite amazing, isn't it?
It's the size of a plum.
I didn't know it'd feel this strong.
This kid's heart stopped beating.
You made it beat again, Professor.
Professor.
I'll choose Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Professor, I'll choose Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Me, too.
I'll apply to Cardiothoracic Surgery as well.
Sure, good choice.
Good work, guys.
Well done, everyone.
Make them sign a pledge before they change their mind.
Kim Chan-hyeong's guardian.
Please come to the operating unit.
-Are you Kim Chan-hyeong's guardians? -Yes.
-Come in. -Thank you.
Doctor, did Chan-hyeong's surgery go well?
Chan-hyeong's surgery went well.
We patched up the ventricular hole.
As for the pulmonary trunk, it took longer than expected
because we wanted to save the valve.
But that went well too, so it's closed nicely now.
His surgery went well, so please don't worry.
We'll move him to the ICU in about half an hour.
I'll see you then.
His surgery went well, so please don't worry.
-My gosh. -Thank you, Doctor!
Hello?
Yes, hello.
Well, my son had lunch at your restaurant earlier today
and had an allergic reaction.
He's allergic to peanuts. He probably ate some.
Gosh, I'm sorry. Is he okay?
Yes, he's okay now.
But I'd like to find out exactly what he ate.
He's five years old.
I think he ate there with his mom.
I remember him.
I took their order.
Just a moment, please.
Oh, right. Sir, the salad you took to go to have for dinner.
It probably had peanut dressing.
Did I get...
Right, I did.
Yes, you did, sir.
I remember you because you and your wife looked so lovely together.
Your kid was so cute too.
I'm pretty sure I asked you to let me know if you had any food allergies.
I apologize. I guess I didn't communicate that properly.
-Hello? -Professor.
This is Ham Deok-ju, a transplant coordinator.
The chairman is coming from the airport due to a conference,
so the committee meeting will be held after 10 p.m.
Okay.
We want to arrange a time for you to see him as soon as the meeting is over.
We've already let the other hospital know.
I'll call you when we're ready.
Okay.
What's with him?
It's taking longer than we expected,
but it'll be over soon.
You should wait in the waiting area.
Let's go.
FAMILY WAITING ROOM
Thank you.
So what's happening next?
If you'd like,
we'll arrange a time for you to see him before the surgery begins.
Once he's in the OR,
the doctors will check the condition of his organs
and conduct biopsies.
If everything looks good,
they'll start preparing him right away for organ donation.
This process is usually carried out by fellows,
but Professor Lee Ik-jun will oversee the entire process.
He's even concerned about the surgical wound.
Hello?
Okay.
The committee meeting just ended.
I'll get ready, then.
Where are you? You said you'd be here right away.
I'm almost there.
Okay.
Is he having a bad day or something?
Are you from Kangwoon University Medical Center?
Yes.
I had to speak with his family, so we're running behind.
I'm sorry. Do we have enough time?
The donor's vitals are good.
Yes, we're early.
It's not that urgent, so it's fine.
We'll get started.
-Okay. -All right.
Is the patient stable?
Yes, everything looks good.
Professor Lee, everything's ready.
-Kangwoon University Medical Center? -Yes, Professor.
Well, can I ask you a favor?
Sure.
Could we postpone the heart removal by just ten minutes?
Call the hospital and find out if it's okay.
If it's urgent, we can get started right away.
Ten minutes should be okay. We got here early.
Okay. It's 11:50 p.m. now,
-so we'll start in ten minutes. -Okay.
We'll begin at midnight with a silent prayer.
-Got it. -Wait.
Can't we just do it now?
We've pulled two all-nighters in a row.
Today is Children's Day, you know.
Pardon?
It's because today is Children's Day.
He has a five-year-old son named Won-jun.
Today's Children's Day, so he was supposed to have...
jajangmyeon with his dad.
But Won-jun...
He'll never get to do that, for the rest of his life.
Let's wait.
Just ten minutes.
We'll begin in ten minutes, okay?
We can't have his son cry
on every Children's Day thinking about his late father.
Okay, no problem.
Sure, Professor.
-Thank you. -No problem.
Your late husband decided to donate his organs to help others.
Thankfully, his organs are in good condition,
so he'll be donating his heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver.
The surgery began just now, at 12:05 a.m. on May 6,
which means he has expired.
Thank you.
I have to work the night shift anyway, so I came to work.
Yes, Mom.
You're feeling okay? Any health issues?
What about Dad?
All right.
I'll buy her food, coffee, and everything. Don't worry.
But it's not like she's here to see me. That girl...
Okay, bye.
It's raining a lot.
We can't go camping in this weather.
I won't force you guys.
You don't have to come. Do whatever you want.
You'll go camping in this weather?
I love going camping on a rainy day.
Anyway, I'm totally fine with going alone,
so do whatever you want.
NEUROSURGERY TEAM CHAT ROOM
But you'll be bored if you go alone.
I'll go somewhere really far
I'll travel until the sun goes down
I'll start afresh
For myself
Professor, you beat me.
Is Dr. Do in an emergency surgery?
Yes. It looked like a tension pneumothorax,
so I called you right away.
Good. I was in the area.
But why was a soldier transferred to a regular hospital?
They had an accident across the street and has a broken rib.
No other external injuries.
-Where's the patient? -Here.

I said it's fine. You don't have to come.
Where are you?
Here? B-104.
Where's 104?
I'm here!
Over here.
What's up? What are you doing here?
What do you mean? I promised to join you.
I never said I couldn't come.
Anyway, sit down.
-Have some coffee. -Okay.

What?
The shoes I gave you.
What?
I got you those shoes, Professor.

I look after my son and my patients.
Song-hwa was a perfect student.
If I have to quit, I'll work as a chauffeur.
She's pure-hearted.
Who are you curious about?
Dr. Ahn Jeong-won.
Hey, don't bring it up in front of Seok-hyeong.
He'll lose it again.
Okay, I heard you.
-He's very cranky. -What? He's not like that.
I'm worried.
Anyone would be like that after going through all of that at once.
My baby...
He's mentally unstable.
Why didn't you do anything?
