Why won't you do the surgery?
Please get her the surgery now!
Let's give it more time, sir.
And you can't undergo surgery yourself in that condition, sir.
I'm her father, and I said I want to donate my liver.
Who are you to stop me?
It's my decision and I want to save her with my liver!
We have the same blood types.
And she's my daughter. What's the problem?
Get her the surgery now.
I want the surgery right now!
Listen. If my daughter dies because we wasted our time,
will you take responsibility for it?
Will you?
Sir, I've explained it to you before.
Even if you're her family,
it's not that easy to proceed with transplant surgery.
And you're not at a young age.
On top of that, you're not that healthy, either.
Sir, would you like to have some coffee with me?
-Okay. -Calm down. This way.
Sir, I'll be honest.
You're quite old,
so if I were to follow the rules, you don't qualify to get a surgery.
But we ran the tests for the worst-case scenario.
Luckily, everything seemed to be fine except for one area.
You have a fatty liver.
Usually, in these cases, the donor must lose weight
to get rid of fat in the liver.
But given your age, this won't be easy.
Sir, why don't we wait for a brain-dead patient a bit longer?
There's something called a MELD score.
This number determines who gets the liver first.
And her number is considered pretty high.
Given her score now,
I think we can afford to wait a few more days to make our decision.
Does my daughter have a high score?
Yes.
It's at 36. It's pretty high.
But to be honest, her score has to be 39 or 40
to receive a liver from a brain-dead patient,
so it won't guarantee her a liver.
Let's wait a few more days.
If your daughter's condition becomes critical,
I'll make a decision, then. So let's be a bit more patient, sir.
Yes, please.
It's time for her meal now.
She must be waiting for you. Please go and enjoy lunch with her.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey. She's wearing hair rollers.
That's nothing new.
Do you see the freckles there?
I didn't know So-mi had that many freckles.
Bring her here. A laser treatment will remove them.
She's wearing makeup. The freckle makeup.
-Why? -I don't know.
Why not? She's your daughter.
-Do you always understand U-ju? -Right. No.
I think U-ju is going through the sock phase these days.
It takes him about 30 minutes to pick a pair of socks.
Right. I subscribed to So-mi's channel.
She's the number one teenage YouTuber when it comes to cosmetic videos.
Seriously. Even I wanted to try a few of her videos.
Forty, okay?
What? What's wrong with my age? Men still want to doll up at 40.
I mean, my daughter weighs 40kg.
I see.
I think she weighs less than that.
My gosh. She still hasn't had her first period.
She still hasn't? But she's in eighth grade.
That is a bit late.
I wanted to take her to a clinic, but she won't listen.
What about your lunch? You're not going to have lunch?
I'm meeting up with the others in the cafeteria. Join us.
I have somewhere to be.
I have a shift from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
What shift?
Well...
You have outpatients now, right?
If I stayed ten minutes longer, I probably had to marry Seok-hyeong.
-Bye. -Bye.
Ma'am!
Did you hear that Seok-hyeong is going to adopt me?
Seok-hyeong promised to give me his house, TV, and the recliner chair.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
It's 100 over 70.
It's good.
Really? Thank you.
Did you have dinner?
-I'll need to go home after my shift. -I see.
What about you?
Later, I'm going to have...
Mom, I'm back!
You're back.
Hello.
Did you bring the humidifier?
Jun-wan brought it this morning.
And he stopped by to fill it up this afternoon, too.
He didn't look like the considerate type, but he is.
You can tell he's considerate just by his looks.
Mom, he's a bit perverted like Jeong-won.
Ma'am, aren't you sick of eating hospital food?
How about beef bone soup? I'll sneak it in here from the cafeteria.
I'm all right.
You guys should go out and have some food.
Call the others, too.
I'm not leaving.
I'm going to stay next to you for 24 hours starting today.
Don't you need to work?
I'm fine now.
But what caused arrhythmia all of a sudden?
We couldn't even find out what caused it from the electrophysiology study.
This is making me really anxious.
It's because I'm old.
When you get old, your body starts failing one at a time.
Go out and get some food now.
Ma'am, I'll get you beef bone soup.
I think a warm bowl of soup will help you recover.
I'll stay with her now.
I bet you stayed at the hospital all day.
Go outside and get some air.
You must've been startled, Seok-hyeong.
Yes. Are you coming from Yangpyeong?
Yes. I made Jong-su drive.
I made your mom's favorite, pumpkin porridge and beef bone soup.
I didn't make a lot, so you should get some food outside. Go.
Yes, Seok-hyeong.
Treat your friends to some meat.
That will help me feel better.
Jeong-won, leave with Seok-hyeong.
He's been staying inside the hospital for three straight days.
But are they available?
Yes.
I just typed in "meat", and they are all coming.
Would you like to order?
Who's buying today?
-Your dad. -Nice.
Two of the most expensive sets.
Give us two special sets, please.
-Mushroom set, too. -Okay.
And a set of homemade sausages, too.
That's too much. One half dried pollack naengmyeon.
Hey, order noodles after eating the meat.
It's my preference.
My goodness. You guys would never turn down a free meal.
Two of pork kimchi stew, please.
One for each table. Thank you.
-Okay. -Right.
It's spicy, so give us two pots of steamed eggs.
You guys can talk.
Can I eat this now?
-What? -Song-hwa, that's beef!
-You can't. -Is that tuna?
-That's pork. -Why don't you eat it raw?
Is that pork tartare?
No one is going to steal your food. That's all yours.
You'll eat all of them, so slow down.
I have three older brothers.
Yes, your brothers are all bony.
Seok-hyeong, I heard your mother decided to divorce him.
-Yes. -Really? That's great news.
She'll finally be able to live her life.
She decided to divorce him.
I cried and begged her on my knees to divorce him.
I said we should be happy even if we just had one day left to live.
-Good job. -That must've been hard.
My goodness, well done.
She might say that now.
But what if she gets angry one day and says she won't divorce him?
We already filed the divorce papers through her lawyer yesterday.
Chairman Yang was probably surprised and happy to see it,
so he filed the paperwork today.
The mandatory waiting period is four weeks, so just one more month.
In one month, this will all be over.
But when my mom told me that she would divorce him...
Now that she's finally divorcing him,
it felt so freaking nice.
It's different from when you got yours, right?
Of course. When I got divorced, I was really heartbroken.
-You weren't? -I wasn't.
Not even in the slightest.
I only thought about how I could have a happy life with U-ju.
Don't tell me you're still not over Sin-hye.
Come on. Do you think I'm mad? No, that's not it.
I'm over her. I got over her,
but deep down, a part of me always feels sorry to her.
-You're not over her. -No, I'm already over her.
And it's more like a connection, not love.
I feel sorry and heartbroken. It's something like that.
-What is that? -I don't know.
Goodness, you know nothing about love.
Just eat up, you kids.
It's a shame you won't get the company. When your father passes away,
all of his assets will go to that woman and her child.
Taegeon Apparel isn't a listed company.
And his father owns most of the shares, right?
But I think he can claim a part of his assets legally.
I don't need his money. I won't accept it even if he offers.
Exactly. Money isn't the problem now.
-No way. -No way.
You're so annoying.
Seok-hyeong, listen to me carefully. Okay?
Don't talk such nonsense like you won't accept the money or whatnot.
Just take it no matter what.
Take it and give it to us.
Okay.
I'll get the money and give it to you guys.
By the way, did you hear about the chairman?
Yes, I heard from my mom.
What about him?
Mr. Ju has been experiencing early symptoms of depression.
What?
Oh, no.
I can completely relate to him, Rosa.
I also wrote my will once.
What did you write on it?
Did you write, "I want you to die, you bastard, Yang Tae-yang."
I ought to tell them to his face.
Why would I waste papers on that?
Is that why you splashed a bucket of dirty water on them?
Yes.
It was embarrassing to face my son,
but it felt nice.
That was great. You must blow off the steam.
Do whatever you want to do and say whatever you want to say. Good job.
So what is the chairman going to do?
Will he go to therapy?
He doesn't want therapy. He said he's fine.
He said it's the autumn blues.
He's so pig-headed.
You should stay with him and take care of him.
He seemed to have the best time with you.
I told him to come upstairs now.
He said he'll come up after a phone call.
But he won't get that call.
What phone call?
He was going to have dinner with his second son's family. It's been a while.
But all of a sudden, his grandson got an upset stomach,
so it was canceled.
They were going to give him a call,
but they probably forgot to call because things are hectic.
He can call first.
Right.
He could just call them first,
but I think he feels bad that by calling them,
he might be bothering them when they are already busy.
When you're old, all sorts of thoughts cross your mind.
Yes, Dad.
Hey.
How's Yun-min? What happened?
When we got to the hospital, he was completely fine, you know.
-Goodness. Can you stop moving? -Gosh, what a relief.
Yun-hyeon. Yun-min. My goodness.
And he's okay now?
Yes, he's okay now.
-He's having fun playing with his brother. -Guys, stop that.
We got him his favorite pizza and Coke.
So he's singing and is in a good mood.
But still, don't feed him a lot of food.
He should be careful today.
Okay.
Oh, Dad.
Yes. What is it?
Yun-hyeon and Yun-min took a photo in their taekwondo suits this afternoon.
They looked so cute.
I'll send it to you now.
Okay. Thank you.
Enjoy your dinner.
Okay. Have a goodnight, Dad.
Hey, Rosa.
What's taking you so long?
Did Tae-ung call?
Yes, he called just now.
Yun-min is fine.
That's good to hear. You need to eat your dinner.
Come up now. You must be hungry.
It's okay. I'm not hungry.
You'll skip dinner?
No, come upstairs now.
Hey, skipping a meal won't kill me.
I'll be fine.
Aren't you going home soon? Come down. I'll drive you home.
If we start skipping meals at our age, we'll never eat.
It'll be awful.
I won't nag you. Come upstairs now. Okay?
My goodness, you win.
The liver transplantation from a living donor usually starts early in the morning.
As both surgeries must be performed at the same time,
it takes long and requires a lot of people.
Professors usually come around eight in the morning.
They come down when the anesthesiologist is ready.
And before the surgery, the scrub nurses set up the operating room.
Today, we'll do a living donor liver transplant.
The donor is a man in his 50s,
is the patient's younger brother.
The anatomy type of the donor's biliary tract is C, so it'll be a difficult case.
But Professor Lee will be careful, so there won't be a problem.
Professor Lee might seem distracted and all over the place,
but he's a really good surgeon.
What did you say?
Was that criticism or a compliment?
What are you doing here?
I'm studying.
-Are you assisting me today? -No.
Dr. Jong Se-hyeok will assist you today.
Here's the liver specimen for frozen biopsy.
KIM CHANG-HWAN
It's taking a bit too long today.
This is Kim Mi-ae from Pathology.
Here's the result of the frozen biopsy of the patient, Kim Chang-hwan.
The macrovesicular fatty change is six percent.
And there's no inflammation around the hepatic portal vein.
Okay. Thank you!
Let's start right away.
Please put on some music.
Neurosurgeons don't usually say
that everything will be okay
and that the patient will definitely recover.
Since we deal with brains,
there's a less chance of seeing a dramatic improvement
after the surgery compared to other departments.
I see.
I'm taking out the tumor now.
-Are you cold? -No, I'm fine.
I easily get cold.
You can't survive in CS, then.
Are you okay, Yun-bok?
Aren't you cold? Hold on.
I can't see it. Pull it to my side.
Yes, sir.
CURRENT TEMPERATURE: 18
-Aren't you cold? -I'm okay.
Thank you.
When we stop the heart and use a heart-lung machine during surgery,
the patient won't get much blood flow as the heart is stopped.
So we must slow down the patient's metabolic rate.
We lower the temperature
to help the organs' metabolic rates go down, so the patient uses less energy.
That way, when the heart beats again, the patient can make a good recovery.
Where is Hong-do?
He's attending a pediatrics surgery.
I see. Does he easily get hot?
Yes. Very easily.
My goodness.
Oh, no.
Gauze, please.
CURRENT TEMPERATURE: 30.3
Hey, are you all right?
-Are you okay? -Doctor.
Are you okay?
The student collapsed, right?
-Yes. -Is he okay?
Yes. It took a while this year.
Last year, a student fainted around June.
Hello, my baby.
It's Mommy.
Okay.
-I don't have a clear view. -Okay.
When you're suturing the uterus, make sure to keep it tight.
But you can't pull too hard.
Okay.
Professor Yang, the students from the nursing school are here.
Ma'am, congratulations.
Thank you.
I already informed the mother.
If you came a bit early, you could have seen the baby coming out.
You have another surgery this afternoon. Hopefully, we can see it then.
You may approach closer.
Make sure not to contaminate the operating table.
NURSING STUDENT, KIM YEONG-JU
Hello.
My gosh. Did your surgery just finish?
-That was a long one. -Controlling the bleeding took some time.
But it went well.
-You're getting off work late. -Yes.
Right. It's about the patient, Oh Yu-min. The patient in Room 6011.
She's waiting for a donor due to liver cirrhosis.
-Yes. -Can you call her father?
We must let him know that the patient is getting worse now.
It's been a while since he stopped coming to the hospital.
He stopped coming after last week.
That's right. I haven't seen him around lately.
Does she have other family members?
No. She doesn't have any family.
I heard she hadn't seen her father for a while before her condition, either.
My gosh, what should we do?
He might have gone somewhere, you know.
-He'll be back. -I doubt it.
Okay.
I've been doing this over a decade now,
so I can tell just by their eyes.
I can tell if they will go through with it
or if getting the donation will be difficult.
And her father is the latter case.
I can tell you that he will never come back.
The decision is his,
so I can't criticize him for it.
Besides, getting a piece of his liver
seemed challenging from the get-go.
Anyway, I got it.
Professor Lee.
It's raining outside.
It's been raining since the morning. You didn't know, right?
Have a goodnight.
Bye.
It's raining. Let's eat.
-Are you done with the surgery? -That's why I'm here.
What should we get?
How about jeon? Or sujebi?
Of course, it's got to be sujebi. See you in the lobby.
I didn't drive today. Let's take your car.
Sure.
WET FIELD SUJEBI
It's raining. Shall we go for a drive?
Sounds great.
What about U-ju?
He's in Changwon. He's hooked on pork rice soup these days.
What about your dad's hearing aid? Did you really refund it?
No way. You think I'm nuts?
I talked to Professor Song to get the best one for my dad.
Why did you tell him how much it cost?
I didn't tell him.
My dad somehow found out.
My gosh. Anyway, I told him that I got the employee discount,
used a coupon, and a credit card discount.
I came up with all sorts of white lies.
I had to tell about millions of lies
and said I paid less than one million won.
I barely managed to persuade him to wear it.
Gosh, don't get so mad about it.
He doesn't want you to spend money.
Ma'am, more kimchi, please.
Yes, what is it?
The patient has a cerebellar hemorrhage
and is in a semicoma. And both pupils are fixed at 0.2.
And the patient barely has any motor skills.
I'm nearby. I'll be right there.
Let's go.
I took the enhanced brain TC.
The bleeding is causing compression in the brain stem.
How old is the patient?
Thirteen years old.
It's a 13-year-old girl.
GUARDIAN
What is that?
Is that a cerebral hemorrhage?
The patient is still young.
-Dr. Ahn. -Yes.
Do you see the AVM in her cerebellum?
AVM: ARTERIO-VENOUS MALFORMATION
Yes, I do.
The AVM is ruptured, so it caused ICH in the cerebellum.
She became unconscious and collapsed. Let's do the surgery.
-Okay. -Hurry. Get the guardian's consent now,
talk to Anesthesiology and send her up right away.
-I'll talk to her parents. -Okay, I got it.
You startled me.
Didn't you go home? Are you on calls? Do you have an umbrella?
I didn't go home. No, I'm not on calls and no umbrellas.
Give me 10,000 won.
I don't have any cash.
I had a baseball bet with Gwang-hyeon. Darn it. NC lost.
It could've been their tenth winning game in a row.
-Pay it back. -Okay.
Give me some cigarettes, too.
You borrowed 10,000 won and 4 cigarettes.
And a lighter.
You borrowed 10,000 won, 4 cigarettes, and 1 lighter.
Hey, it's Gyeo-ul.
What are you doing?
What do you think? I lied.
Crazy jerk.
Bye.
You borrowed 10,000 won, 4 cigarettes, and 1 lighter.
Hold on.
You borrowed 10,000 won, 4 cigarettes, and 1 lighter
Jessica, only child, Illinois, Chicago
Ahn Jeong-won from school Is such a cheapskate
I'm really leaving now. It's time for the baseball highlight.
That crazy jerk.
Hello, Professor Ahn.
See you later at home. Bye.
That's a different car, right?
Yes. It was a gray sedan yesterday.
Who on earth is Gyeo-ul dating?
I don't like his vibe.
Doesn't Jeong-won have a car?
He does. But it's very sick.
It's always at the hospital.
Hey, Gyeo-ul. Why are you back?
Hello.
-Hi. -Did you forget something?
I need to take care of some charts.
I was too busy to do them this afternoon.
Since I'm here, I'll look at the baby in the PICU that had surgery.
Do you want some coffee? Should I get you one?
Yes. But is the cafe still open?
There is a convenience store. I'll get you one.
Go to the PICU.
-I'll meet you there. -Okay.
Here.
Thank you.
Right. Here's one more. Ta-da.
I could have gotten them myself.
I get more discounts. 30 percents. Quite a lot, right?
Gyeo-ul.
Can I ask you a question?
-It's a personal question. Is it okay? -Okay.
What does your boyfriend do?
What does he do for a living? How can he drive different cars every day?
Is he a car dealer? Does he sell imported cars?
You only got half right. The other half is wrong.
THE PATIENT'S SURGERY HAS ENDED PLEASE COME TO THE OR
Honey.
What are you doing still up?
My gosh, it's past midnight.
I can't sleep.
Did your surgery just finish? Was it a difficult one?
No, the previous surgery didn't finish on time,
so I started late.
You probably didn't eat dinner, then.
I'm going to have ramyeon in the office.
You should go to sleep now. I'll see you this weekend.
Okay.
Bye, Jun-wan.
Okay. Sleep tight.
You're still here?
Hello.
Hi.
-Are you studying? -No.
I just organized my notes I took this afternoon.
It's getting late. You should go home now.
Okay. I'm done now.
Take a taxi. Return my card tomorrow.
No. It's all right.
No, take it.
My boyfriend is picking me up.
He's waiting for me downstairs.
Thank you, though.
The surgery went well.
We did everything we could.
We stopped the brain hemorrhage and removed the arteriovenous malformation,
but the swelling was severe.
The bleeding was located deep in the brain and in an unfavorable spot.
So we need to observe her more.
We'll give her medicine to lower
the brain pressure and keep her in the ICU.
Will she regain consciousness?
We won't know that now.
She was in a life-threatening situation,
so it's too early to judge if she'll wake up or not.
We need more time.
Bye.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
It's raining a lot outside. I'll leave an umbrella in front of your office.
Thank you for today.
Hey, what is it?
Why are you calling me at this hour? What's up?
Must you ask? I'm waiting for you.
You're still here?
Where would I go? You didn't bring your car today.
It's raining. How will you get home?
You're done, right?
Come to the ER. I'll pull out the car.
Okay. I'll be there soon.
That looks like Yun-bok.
Why can't you show me?
Why do you need to check my phone?
"Are you sleeping?"
Doesn't he know what time it is? Why did he text you at this hour?
-"Are you sleeping?" -Hey.
Did you go through my phone?
Why did you go through my phone?
It popped up right there. How can I not look?
-Give me your phone. -No.
Why not? You must be hiding something from me.
No, I'm not.
Then, what about you? Why aren't you using the cell phone case I got you?
It's a matching case.
It won't fit in here.
I take it off when I drive.
I need to use GPS.
Where's the case?
That bastard.
Give me your phone.
What's wrong with you?
I told you it's not what you think. No.
Then, let me see.
-Let me check. -I don't want to do.
I'll check it and give it back right away.
I told you no. Why do you keep nagging me?
Is showing me your phone that hard?
Listen. I don't want to show you my phone.
Look. That's the haircut.
That was U-ju when he was two.
He looks just like Ik-jun when he was young.
He takes after his grandfather.
CAPTAIN HONG JEONG-HO
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS WEEKEND?
He's Captain Hong in my battalion.
This is his habit. He's like this to everyone.
He's friendly to everyone around him.
Do you want to see his texts?
-Look. -It's fine.
If you say so, then he must be.
I don't have to see it.
-Are you sure? -Yes, why would I check your phone?
So you want to go for a doctorate?
Where's the doctorate program at?
It's either the States or the UK. I don't know where they'll have an opening.
I'm studying hard,
but only one or two people will get picked.
-Do you want to be a professor? -I might not be as smart as my brother,
but I'm pretty smart, too. I joined the military academy
as I'm athletic, too.
How long will you stay if you go?
If I get picked,
the program will last at least three to five years.
I guess you have no interest in getting married.
I told you when we first started dating.
That I'm not interested in marriage at all.
But you know that this kind of conversation is pointless, right?
It's really hard to get into this program.
Captains probably have a higher chance of getting picked.
I can't go.
Why can't you?
If you don't go, who will?
You can get in.
I think you'll get picked.
Really?
Yes, that's right. I also think I'll get picked.
I'll probably get to go.
If you do go,
does it mean we're breaking up?
If you go abroad for your studies,
what will happen to us?
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Let's eat. They are serving braised pollack in the cafeteria.
-Let's go. -Easy, easy.
Easy, easy.
The choledochal cyst takes place
when there's a cystic dilatation of the biliary duct, so its function decreases.
As a result, this condition
may lead to cholelithiasis and cholangiocarcinoma.
We will make an incision the cyst
in the common bile duct in surgery.
We will perform Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy
to reconstruct the biliary tract.
I see.
Hello, ma'am.
Hi, Professor.
Jae-won isn't getting a difficult surgery.
Our liver produces something called bile.
This is a type of digestive fluid that helps break down the grease.
When our liver produces bile, it moves down to our stomach.
And the passageway to our stomach is called the common bile duct.
I see.
Most of the kids have a common bile duct less than 5mm.
But Jae-won's bile duct is stretched to 3cm.
If it's stretched,
the bile can't flow out and gets stuck in there.
And this may lead to gallstones and other complications.
So we'll cut the stretched part of the common bile duct.
That's the surgery Jae-won is getting today.
I see. Okay.
Of course, after removing it,
he still needs a passageway for the bile to go through.
So we need to connect a part of his small intestine with the biliary duct.
And once we connect them together,
the surgery will be over.
It's not that complicated or difficult.
You don't have to worry that much.
I see. Thank you.
I totally understood that.
Please take good care of my son. Please.
Okay.
Hey.
All right. I'll see you guys there.
Okay.
Don't laugh like that. You look like Gargamel.
What's so funny?
Guys. You know Professor Cheon Myeong-tae in CS, right?
-No, I don't. -He's the guy who owns
a lot of real estate properties.
That much I know.
Jun-wan reported him regarding the rebate.
Yes, it's him.
Goodness, speak of the devil.
You're even friends with Jae-hak?
Yes, I'm also super close to Dragon in her department.
-Who's Dragon? -Yong Seok-min.
You're not close to anyone in OB-GYN, right?
Of course not. He may have had
a couple of meals with them, but I'm sure he's not close to anyone.
Chu Min-ha and I are besties.
We're going to have tteokbokki together next week. With Gyeo-ul too.
Hey, Jang Gyeo-ul is busy.
I'm busy too, and so are they. All of us are busy.
But they asked me to buy them tteokbokki.
They all like me so much.
No, you're just too nosy.
Jun-wan, did you hear the news?
Professor Cheon and the CEO of Jinyong Credit Union are getting married.
Who is he marrying?
Jin Min-ju, the CEO of Jinyong Credit Union.
The self-made entrepreneur. She's loaded.
She's one of the foundation's board members.
Yes, she's close to the chairman.
She's very capable, and I think she's an all-around wonderful person.
And that's why the chairman is very concerned at the moment.
-Why is he concerned? -I'm sure he's very worried.
She's a competent businesswoman and has a great personality,
but she has low standards for men.
Professor Cheon is obviously after her money,
so I bet the chairman is torn whether or not he should intervene.
-Is he really not a good person? -That's right. He's a total jerk.
He's really horrible.
I'd describe him as a villain.
What is a villain?
It's a compliment.
Runs to get and pay bills.
It means a hardworking person who always does his best.
Really?
Oh, I have to go do my rounds. See you later, guys.
See you.
Otolaryngology and Ophthalmology will check in as well,
and we'll thoroughly prepare for your surgery.
-I'll get going. -Thank you.
Doctor, when can I be discharged?
You look like a different person now.
-The urine output has been okay, right? -Yes.
What about her prolactin levels?
It's going down.
You can be discharged tomorrow.
Just remember that you shouldn't blow your nose too hard.
Mild exercise is okay,
but please stay away from water exercises for the time being.
Dr. Yong will go over everything again in detail.
Yes?
Okay, I'll be right there.
You won't need restitching. It looks fine.
Thank you. You should get going. I know you're busy.
Yes, that was from the ER.
If you experience any discomfort again, let us know.
Mom, I'm craving tteokbokki.
I'll buy you a ton of it when you get discharged.
I'll buy you everything you want to eat.
My baby...
Thanks for staying so strong.
She seems to be doing much better than yesterday. Her speech is clearer too.
Yes, I know.
It's a miracle that she's already recovered this much.
Her cranial nerves are regenerating very quickly because she's young.
The pressure around the medulla is gone,
and we took care of the bleeding too.
Just keep up with the rehabilitation therapy,
and she'll recover to the point that it won't affect her day-to-day life.
Please don't worry too much.
We should be able to move her to the regular ward in about two days.
Thank you, Doctor. We owe it all to you.
No problem.
You haven't been able to go home for the past few days, right?
I saw you sleeping on the chairs at night.
She's passed the critical stage,
so you should go home and sleep comfortably tonight.
We were planning to go home tonight anyway.
Our grand opening is tomorrow.
I'm starting a business in the midst of all this.
My mom teaches yoga. She's very famous.
Oh, really?
So, you're opening a yoga center?
Yes. After working as an instructor on salary for years,
I took out a loan and opened a yoga center.
But a few of members from the previous center signed up
and helped me spread the word, so I already have many members.
They already paid their membership fees, and some of them are coming from far away,
so I couldn't postpone the opening.
Knowing that my daughter is in the PICU...
I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
Gosh, don't say that. You need to earn money, of course.
Tae-hui has her dad, you know. And we'll check in on her often as well.
Doctor, please feel free to visit my yoga center when you have some time.
I feel like it'll do very well if you come.
Doctor.
You're like a good luck charm to me and my family.
Whenever you have some free time, please stop by for a cup of coffee.
She won't have time for that. She must be always busy.
Doctor, it's okay even if it's a year later, or three years later.
Just visit us anytime.
For you, free yoga classes for life.
Thank you for saying that.
And I really will stop by when I have some time.
Talk to you soon.
Can you raise this arm for me?
Raise this leg for me.
This one too.
My head hurts so much, Doctor.
When did you get here?
I got here a while ago for another patient.
Do we have the CT angiogram?
That's an aneurysm.
-Shave the area for coil embolization. -Okay.
Yes, hello.
Is the bleeding severe?
Well, I'll go and take a look.
Okay.
Sorry. Call the coil embolization team and Anesthesiology.
-No problem. -Seong-yeong, can you shave the area
-for coil embolization? -Sure, no problem.
Coil embolization? Then you'll be late for practice.
I won't be late. It'll be done quickly.
-What's for dinner? -Seok-hyeong wants ramyeon.
-Shall we get some dumplings and gimbap? -That's a given.
-By the way, where are you headed now? -The ER.
Oh, Hui-su wants my advice on something. I think she fought with her sister-in-law.
Aren't you busy?
Today is not so bad. I'll be busy next week though.
U-ju has a field trip, and I have a lot of lectures.
I'll be busy with surgery as well. Come with me if you have some time to kill.
-I have the coil procedure. -Oh, right.
Move.
PROFESSOR OF CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY KIM JUN-WAN
THERE IS A 20-MINUTE DELAY
PROFESSOR OF CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY CHEON MYEONG-TAE
NO WAITING PATIENTS
She got a stent put in last year at a different hospital,
but the symptoms are reoccurring?
Yes.
She's been experiencing chest pain frequently as well as severe constipation.
Doctor, I read in books and on the Internet
that the medications that are prescribed
after a stent procedure can cause constipation.
I read that probiotics can help.
Can she take probiotics?
-Where do you live? -We live in Ilsan.
Yeongji Hospital in Ilsan is pretty good. You should take her there.
Pardon me?
You don't need to tell me about what you read on the Internet.
And you don't need to come all the way here.
She should just get treated at a hospital nearby.
Anyway, thank you for coming. Next?
-Was she my last patient for the day? -Yes.
Take care.
The surgery was done on the 23rd of last month,
so you still have to wait a bit to give a bath.
It healed nicely though.
Showers are fine, starting next week.
You can bathe the baby starting next weekend.
Okay. Got it, Doctor.
Thank you.
-One more thing. -Yes?
When you're using running water, be gentle with the soap.
As for bathing the baby,
it'd be best if you could wait until the scabs fall off naturally.
Okay, thank you.
-How many are left? -Five more.
-You said you have plans this evening. -It's no problem at all.
Professor, I heard Professor Cheon is already done.
It's not even 4 p.m. yet.
Everything's ready.
Professor Chae is in her office. Call her, and she'll come right away.
Thanks for everything.
-We're getting a lot of NS patients today. -I know.
-Hello. -Hello.
Seong-yeong, are you done with the shaving?
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Seong-yeong, spare me a second.
Come on.
What is it?
Well...
Professor, we told the patient that we had to shave his head
in case we might have to perform another brain surgery
in the near future.
-Shut it. -Okay.
Gosh, you...
Patient Oh Yu-min is really not doing well.
But strangely, her MELD score is going down.
What do we do? We don't have time.
Do we have her father's address?
Yes, just a moment.
My gosh, he's here.
My goodness.
At the top, you see the fetal heart rate.
And at the bottom, you see the mother's contractions.
-If you look closely... -We have a patient with PPH coming in!
Her hemoglobin level is four.
That's too low.
Four?
What does that mean?
It means that she has lost a lot of blood.
Will she live?
Yes.
Are you really the same person?
Yes, Doctor.
I lost 7kg.
Not by starving myself.
I hired a personal trainer and worked out six hours a day.
And I've been strictly watching what I eat.
I predict that I'll probably lose
additional 2 to 3kg in the next week or so.
Doctor.
Please allow me to donate my liver.
You see,
I don't care if I die.
If I can save my daughter,
I really don't care what happens to me.
I was so preoccupied with my business abroad
that I neglected
my one and only daughter.
I had no idea at all until my daughter was on the brink of death
from alcoholism.
She's in this mess now
all because of me.
Had I been there for her,
she wouldn't have
ended up like this.
Doctor.
I know it's late, but I want to be a good dad to her now.
So please allow me to donate my liver.
I'll lose more weight if you tell me to.
And I'll exercise even harder.
Please, Doctor.
Let me donate my liver.
Please?
Sir.
According to the rules, you can't be a donor.
You're above the age limit to qualify as a donor,
and you have a fatty liver. I can't let you do it if I were to stick to the rules.
And to tell you the truth, I had given up.
But seeing you today...
I'll muster up some courage.
Let's do it.
I'll order a liver ultrasound and other tests.
We'll proceed with the surgery if everything looks good.
Thank you.
Doctor, I really
appreciate this.
No, please.
I mean, I should thank you. I'm grateful to see you again, looking so healthy.
Your son will go through a procedure called coil embolization.
We'll insert a thin catheter via a femoral puncture
and guide it up to his cerebral arteries.
Then we'll insert coils to fill the aneurysm
and close it off.
And to prevent infections, we have to shave the hair
around the groin area before the surgery.
But one of our interns misunderstood the instructions
and shaved his head instead.
My instructions weren't clear enough,
so this is my fault. I'm really sorry.
You can claim compensation if you'd like.
I promise you that I'll get this all sorted out for you.
It's okay, Doctor.
He may lose his life.
Who cares about his hair?
Don't worry about it.
Thank you.
Doctor. The surgery won't hurt, right?
It's all good as long as it won't hurt.
So please...
Don't be so harsh on the intern.
We'll administer anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain.
Your thigh might feel a little tight after the surgery,
but I'll tell them to give you cold compresses.
Thank goodness.
-Which song are we practicing today? -"Met You by Chance."
Okay.
What are you doing?
-I'm reflecting on myself. -What for?
For thinking that I knew
everything about this world and people.
-I'm reflecting on a bunch of stuff. -What are you talking about?
Can you step aside? Chi-hong needs to come in.
-Hello. -Hi. What's up?
He said he had to ask me something.
Jun-wan, if you have the time, would you please get lost?
It's about a family matter.
You can come in and see Jae-won.
No, it's okay. I saw Jae-won earlier.
It's just that I keep wanting to see my baby.
The surgery went well, right?
Professor Ahn explained everything,
but I wasn't really listening because I was so out of it earlier.
-Come in for a second. -Okay.
I was in the OR
to assist Professor Ahn, so I saw everything.
Look.
This is what the common bile duct normally looks like.
As we explained before the surgery,
this part of Jae-won's common bile duct was stretched out.
First, we cut out the stretched-out part.
Then to create a new passageway for his bile to travel, we connected this
to his small intestine.
The surgery went well.
It's only been a while, so Jae-won seems to be in a bit of pain.
But there's no bleeding, and the urine output is good as well.
The vitals are very stable too.
We should be able to send Jae-won back to the ward tomorrow.
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you so much.
My gosh.
Thank you.
Yes, they dated for a long time. About five years?
But as you know,
Ik-sun had no interest in getting married.
But the guy kept asking her to marry him,
and Ik-sun liked him enough to change her mind about it,
so she said yes.
Anyway, things were fine between them.
But one day, they went to see a fortune-teller on a whim.
Apparently, the fortune-teller said to Ik-sun
that she'd destroy his future if they stayed together.
What?
She said they're totally incompatible
and that Ik-sun would be like a roadblock to his future.
They were told some nonsense like that.
-And she believed it? -No, of course not.
But that would stay in the back of your mind, you know?
So the next day,
Ik-sun made an appointment with every fortune-teller in the area
and asked him to come with her to get that out of their heads.
-And? -But that jerk was like...
He said he told his mom about it
and that she is against them getting married.
Then he asked her for time apart.
Ik-sun was baffled.
She was just sitting there, dazed and confused.
Then she suddenly got a call from that guy's mom.
She answered,
and his mom wanted to hang out on the weekend.
In such a happy, jolly voice,
she asked Ik-sun to join her on her trip to Sokcho that weekend.
So he lied.
He sure did, using his mom as an excuse.
He didn't know that his mom and Ik-sun talked often.
If his feelings had changed, he should've just been honest with her.
I mean, he's not a kid.
Why did she even date a douchebag like him?
Anyway, she suffered from insomnia for over six months after that.
She couldn't even eat,
and she lost over 5kg during those months.
I was busy at the hospital back then, so I couldn't really be there for her.
Is my dear sister okay now?
Yes, she seems to have fully recovered from it.
Her sense of humor is coming back.
Anyway, thanks for telling me.
When I talk to Ik-sun, I'll pretend not to know anything about this.
Okay, sounds good.
Professor.
Please believe me. Nothing's going on between me and Ik-sun.
We're really just friends.
Okay, I heard you. Jeez.
You have your band practice later today, right?
May I stop by next time and watch you practice?
Sure!
You can definitely come, but...
You like Song-hwa, right?
-I mean, you admire-- -Yes.
I like her.
Everyone likes Song-hwa.
That's why she's always so busy.
Anyway, when those who like her see her playing her bass guitar...
I'm sure you'll fall for her even more. She's gotten so much better at it.
She's such a nerd.
I heard that she had to do coil embolization. Would she be done?
Yes, she should be almost done now.
Good work, everyone.
I know a good sujebi place nearby.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Professor, you must be exhausted. Did the surgery go well?
We struggled to locate the origin of the bleeding at first,
but it went well.
We managed to stop the bleeding,
so we'll do a transfusion and see how she recovers.
When you're requesting a CBC,
order a DIC as well. And let me know when the results are out.
Also, she's gotten a lot of blood, so do a chest X-ray tomorrow.
Got it.
Professor.
Did that patient make it?
Of course, she's okay now.
See you tomorrow.
-See you. -See you.
Thank you.
-We're late. -All right, okay.
Give me a minute.
Jeez, I heard you!
Sorry about that.
Wait, sir. Your wallet.
Thank you.
Hey, what is this?
Doors are opening.
-Where are you headed? -Doors are closing.
-It's a secret. -What?
Hey, I'm in the lobby.
It's understandable.
He's just a middle-aged man without his white coat.
I didn't recognize him at all. What do I do?
It's okay. Professor Yang is cool with these things.
Don't worry about it.
Girls, the moment we take off our surgical gowns,
we're back to being just like anybody else.
-Okay. -Okay.
I know it can get stressful, but think that the patients can be your family
and be patient.
Give them a second chance and try to be understanding.
But no third chance. Tell your supervisors right away.
-Okay. -Okay.
Yeong-ju, did you say your father is a doctor?
Yes, but he's getting chemotherapy after his cancer surgery at the moment.
My gosh, is he okay?
Yes! He always bad-mouths his doctor and the hospital.
He's doing great.
-Over there. -Oh, I see them.
-Seok-hyeong! -Ik-jun!
What?
What? What do you want?
Sorry about that.
Hey, dude.
-You bumped into me. -I'm hungry.
-You're at it again. -Gosh, you started this skit.
Who's coming?
I'll get all shy.
You never let us down. Well done.
Will he like it though?
Then my mom will come too.
Jong-su, when was the last time you went to a concert?
I don't know what songs are popular these days.
Jeong-won, can you guys perform a song by Moon Ju-ran?
Or something by Cho Mi-mi.
We'll kick you out if you're going to keep making such unreasonable requests.
All right, fine.
Get started, then.
Yes, sir.
I'm fine with anything, but pick something upbeat.
Pick something exciting, mister.
"Mister"?
Yes, ma'am.
I met you by chance
And your beauty stole my heart
I met you by chance
And your eyes captivated my heart
There is something I want to tell you
Why can't I muster up the courage?
I want to say it to you But I don't feel confident
My heart is pounding
I shall let all this frustration
Fly away in the wind
I'm not a kid, Dad.
I'll just eat it myself.
To me, you're still a ten-year-old.
And why do I have to eat porridge?
I haven't even gotten the surgery yet.
Dad, I want to eat fried chicken.
That lady Who is as beautiful as a blooming flower
Stole my heart
Her gorgeous eyes That sparkle like morning dew
Captivated my heart
There is something I want to tell you
Why can't I muster up the courage?
I want to say it to you But I don't feel confident
My heart is pounding
A fool, such a fool
I must be a fool
There is something I want to tell you
Why can't I muster up the courage?
I want to say it to you But I don't feel confident
My heart is pounding
A fool, such a fool
I must be a fool
That was amazing!
-Hey! Goodness. -Gosh, I'm sleepy.
Daddy, take me with you. I want to go with you.
Hey, U-ju. I'll see you in the evening.
You can wait, right?
Okay, our goodbye ritual.
There! Okay. See you later.
My gosh.
My gosh, Doctor!
You actually came.
WISHING YOU ABUNDANCE OF PROSPERITY CHAE SONG-HWA
Congratulations on your opening.
Thank you.
Honey, Dr. Chae is here. Come on out!
No, that's okay. I can't stay anyway.
I'm meeting someone in the area, so I wanted to stop by.
Have a great day.
A guy is here to see you.
He seemed to be in his late 30s,
and he's handsome.
What the...
Surprised to see me?
You're no fun.
This one is for spicy fish stew. All the ingredients are ready to go,
so just boil them with the sauce.
In this one, you'll find different kinds of tripe. They're raw, so grill them.
You have to grill them, okay?
This is sundae and organ meats. Things like the ears, liver, lung,
intestines, kidneys, and so on.
They're cooked, so you can eat them right away.
-Did something happen? -No, not at all.
-Are you getting remarried? -No.
-Is Mom ill? -No, she's fine.
-Is Dad ill? -Jeez, I just came to see you.
-Are you ill? -Gosh, I'm off.
I promised U-ju I'd take him out for tonkatsu.
I just stopped by on the way to give you these.
-Where's the restaurant? -In Apgujeong-dong.
I just came to see you, okay?
You've been well, right?
Yes.
I've been well. What about you?
I'm always well.
I'm sorry for not visiting you often and not taking
better care of you.
Bye.
I should give you some spending money.
Here.
What?
Are you crying?
Gosh, what is wrong with me?
You're nuts.
I'm off. Take it easy.
Call me if you're ever stressed out.
I'm not busy at all, so you can call me anytime.
I'm off, for real this time.
Okay. We'll go together.
I have to go if my girlfriend wants me to go.
They're all nice people.
-Hello. -Hello.
What is this?
I guess you really want to see the end of me.
Ik-jun, how about a drink with me tonight?
What? What's going on?
I'd be a shame for Jeong-won to quit his job as a doctor.
There aren't a lot of doctors like him.
What's up with your kids?
Our dear Gyeo-ul must be dating someone!
Really?
If you like her, say so. I'll keep it a secret.
Jeong-won hasn't gone home yet.
I have to see a patient.
-I'll stay here. -Professor, by any chance...
You're not being jealous, are you?
-No, I didn't. -Yes, you did.
No! When? What time?
It's nice if you can rely on each other.
Later.
I'll tell you guys at once when we're all together.
-Who? -Who's going to do the surgery?
It'll be burdensome.
It's a given to do well. If not, it'll harm the hospital's reputation.
The patient's condition is really bad due to chronic rejection.
I won't do it. I don't want to.
Don't do it if you don't want to.
I've told you though.
The patient says no, and Professor Cheon says to follow it.
If I had an excuse,
I don't want to proceed a high risk operation
It's not up to you.
It's up to the doctor.
Professor. What do I do?
We must protect the baby who came to us this time.
If the doctor gives up on the patient,
he isn't a doctor anymore.
