RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

EPISODE 8

Doctor, in third grade,

I was diving at a swimming pool.

My face hit the pool floor, and I broke my front teeth.

-Okay. -So,

these are crowns.

They could break during intubation,

so I'm just reminding you.

Yes, I'll be careful.

Thank you.

Are you going to start now?

Yes, I'm ready.

I'm not.

Let me know when you're ready.

The anesthesia's ready.

Yes, we're wrapping up.

I…

want to go back.

Hey, if the pathology results are out,

you need to put them together and send them to me.

I'm sorry, sir.

What about the cervical cancer data?

I was going to email it to you today.

Okay. That includes the added patient data, right?

Well…

What, it doesn't?

Damn it, seriously?

Look, just

put it together and send it by tomorrow.

By tomorrow?

Yeah, you need to send it tomorrow at the latest,

so I can add it to the paper.

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, over here! Come here now!

Hey, Sa-bi!

What's the matter? Hey, Sa-bi!

This…

I think you'll need surgery.

-Surgery? -Laparoscopic?

Is it bad?

How big is the fibroid?

It's not malignant, right?

It looks pretty big.

Professor.

Hey. Excuse me.

-Hello. -Hello.

Don't you all have work?

Sir, we have the lab results.

Hemoglobin is 6.2, so I prescribed two units of RBC.

My goodness.

You must have been really dizzy.

I called Anesthesiology. OR 3's last slot tomorrow was canceled.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Well? Ms. Resident?

I think we should.

It's too big.

Let's do the surgery.

If we can see the myoma from an abdominal ultrasound,

then it must be huge, right?

Didn't it hurt?

Of course, it did.

She was struggling for months due to period cramps.

I told you to have it checked immediately.

She took a ton of meds for dizziness.

It's anemia caused by bleeding. Why take headache meds?

I know, right?

She pores over everyone else's charts.

But she doesn't take care of herself.

Hey, is it going to be scolding or worrying?

Just do one.

She's already upset as it is since she can't work.

-Hello. -Hello.

You don't need any explanation, right?

Did you fast?

Yes. Not even a sip of water.

She's not on any meds.

And she signed the consent form.

I'm her guardian.

She's not telling her mom. She said it would be more of a hassle.

All right, then.

Doctor.

Could we stay with her just until she's under--

No.

You'll make a ruckus in there.

Please, Doctor. She says she's really scared.

She's been there and seen this surgery a ton.

What's there to be scared of?

That's enough. I'll take care of it.

Let go. Go on.

-Just once-- -Just go, will you?

Let's go already!

For goodness' sake.

Come back healthy and sound!

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY EXIT

Here. You know how to put it on, right?

Nam-kyung.

I'm assisting. I forgot.

Why you?

Me? I'm on call.

Where's Dr. Ki?

She's in OB surgery.

Dr. Ku?

The delivery room.

Hey.

I'd rather it be Yi-young.

She at least sutures well.

Hey! Yi-young!

Yi-young!

What is it?

Nothing.

I must be hearing things.

Sa-bi will be okay, right?

Of course she will be.

It's not a major surgery.

The medication's going in.

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

What is it now?

What are you unhappy about this time?

It's nothing.

I mean…

Couldn't the first-years come early?

They can go on rounds in advance

and brief the seniors before the professors arrive.

That'd be so nice.

They don't know how to do that.

We're lucky they show up at all.

I guess so.

But doesn't it feel like something's missing today?

-Right? You felt it too? -Yes.

I checked everything for the handover.

Maybe it's because Dr. Kim's been hospitalized.

No, I don't think that's it.

What time is it?

He's not here.

He's really not.

Who?

Dr. Ku.

You're right!

I mean, rain or shine…

He's always here at this time.

What happened?

Is he sick?

Can we play some music?

Sure. I connected the Bluetooth for you.

Nice.

But is something wrong?

I mean, you always left at 4:00 a.m. on the dot.

Why are you going into work with me today?

I slept in.

Is that even possible with you?

You had a lot of stuff anyway, so it worked out well.

They don't let us go home

or give us time to do laundry.

I get why we're called residents.

Because we live at the hospital. Why do we even have our own homes?

You don't.

I had one too, okay?

A 640-square-foot apartment on jeonse lease.

By the way, I was really curious.

What happened to your deposit?

It was used for a good cause.

But why did you quit the local hospital?

Well, you know. It was for a variety of reasons.

Then…

Your overdraft account…

I made big progress this month.

It's now negative 29,708,000 won.

That's impressive!

But why are you suddenly curious?

What?

We've lived together for a year now,

and you've never asked.

I haven't?

Do you…

What?

Do you think I'll ask for money?

As if I had any money to lend.

Can you pull over at the next street?

-I have to buy something. -Okay.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

HAM DONG-HO REJECT ACCEPT

HAM DONG-HO

I stopped by on the way.

Your usual with extra sauce.

Thanks. I've been craving this.

I'll eat it later.

Hey, Sa-bi.

I heard you had bad nausea early this morning from the epidural.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

-By the way, Nam-kyung. -Yeah?

When you did the dressing,

I noticed it came a bit undone here.

No, it's not.

You're just mistaken since you're still dizzy.

I'll put on some Steri-Strips later.

You did the sutures half-heartedly, didn't you?

Who do you think I am?

Hey, Sa-bi!

Are you okay?

Gosh, you were snoring so loudly this morning.

It wasn't me!

Jae-il, did you prescribe the NSAIDs?

Oh, right.

I'm in real pain.

The PCA's out now, so it's really painful!

Goodness, don't be such a baby.

I'll do it for you later.

Forget it. I'll do it.

No, I'll call Nurse Ju-yeon now.

Is that a new phone?

Yeah.

A clean break from the past. A new phone for new beginnings.

Hey, the NSAIDs first--

It must be real this time.

I guess they really broke up.

Yeah, it's totally over.

I erased all our chats, his number, and photos.

What was his number again?

I really

don't even remember.

Instead of you saying it was over…

I think he said it was over.

Don't you usually call that "being dumped?"

My prescription first--

Are we in high school?

Dumped? I wasn't dumped.

Don't pretend to know when you've never dated before.

Forget it. Just get out.

Go.

I have to go anyway.

But before I do, try this.

My lungs are normal.

At my age, this isn't necessary.

Still, do it. So we can see you're fine.

Yeah, go on.

Your lungs are fine. And your bowels?

-Are you gassy? -No.

So go.

Please go.

There it is.

We can tick that off.

Well, they're working well.

Bye!

It wasn't me.

I said it wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

Hey, I'm choosing lunch.

See you later.

Yes, Professor?

Now?

Okay, I'll attach the balloons.

Okay, bye.

Hey, Prof. Seo said to buy a cake.

We're having a 100-day party.

A 100-day party for what?

So annoying.

Why aren't you here? I'm done setting up.

Where did you set up?

Where are you?

I've been waiting at NICU.

You said there's a 100-day party.

Geez, it's not there.

Then where?

-Congratulations! -Congratulations!

It's already been 100 days since you were admitted.

You've done so well in carrying the baby.

But this is something to be congratulated for, right?

Of course.

You're supposed to be celebrated during the entire pregnancy.

And you're unable to do that with your family since you're stuck here.

So we should help you celebrate.

Is that so?

Well,

for 100 days, the mothers here with high-risk pregnancies have had

a lot of good and bad things happen to them.

I made it through without any major incidents.

Gosh, so I guess it is a reason to celebrate.

Thank you.

Did you make a wish?

Yes.

Even if it meant I had to stay here a thousand more days,

I wished for my baby to be born healthy.

I'm sure it's been hard staying here.

And it's been very uncomfortable.

Two years ago,

I stayed here for 80 days when I had my twins.

So, I'm pretty used to things.

But gosh, not seeing my twins,

San and Deul, is kind of hard.

Let's get through just two more weeks,

have our 113-day party and…

No, let's have a party for the birth and go home.

Okay.

Shall we share the cake with the other mothers here?

Let's just have it between us.

Between us?

They just got here

and haven't opened up yet.

Hi, San and Deul!

-Mommy! -Mommy!

Did you sleep well?

Did you eat?

-We had snacks! -What?

You can't eat snacks for breakfast!

Where are you, Mommy?

It's the doctors.

-Hi, Doctors. -Hi, Doctors.

It's here!

-It's here! -Delicious tteokbokki is here!

I can't wait!

Why did it take so long?

I was starving to death.

This is going to be so good.

Did you get two?

Now, this is it.

Gosh, I just had cake, but this smells incredible.

Doesn't eating cake make you crave tteokbokki even more?

Like a sweet and salty loop.

But I feel bad for Sa-bi.

This is her favorite.

-Who cares? We can eat it again. -That's right.

Yo, Um Jay! You didn't forget any toppings, did you?

Of course not!

-Just like Sa-bi told me, extra cheese! -Yeah!

-Extra sausages! -Yeah!

-And-- -And with glass noodles!

You said we'd eat this together when I was discharged.

No.

Put the fish cake on the rice ball.

Yeah.

Wrap the rice cake in cheese

and eat with the sausage.

It's so good!

Can you roam around like this?

I'm bored to death, so what else can I do?

Bored?

Damn it, I'm so jealous.

I slept so much I can't sleep more.

Hey, it's barely been a day since your surgery.

Hey, Yi-young. I heard Ms. Ji's been here 100 days now.

How did you know?

I was bored, so I looked at patients' charts.

She's at 32 weeks and a day today.

Counting backwards, it's exactly 100 days since she came.

That's why we had a party earlier.

Has her cervix been all right?

Yeah. It's been fine with meds.

And the EBW?

It's fine at this stage.

It was at 1,900 grams on the ultrasonography yesterday.

-Good amniotic fluid levels? -Yeah. I just checked and…

Why don't you just do it then? I'll stay in bed.

Yeah, just do that.

I wish I could.

Hey! You have to dip the rice ball in the sauce!

If you're going to be mad like that, just eat.

You'll get a bad attitude.

Then can I have just one?

No, you eat this.

-Ma'am? -Yes?

You've been like this the whole time?

You've been lying on your left side for days,

so of course your arm is numb.

I told her to lie on her back.

But she didn't want to.

I heard if some pregnant women

lie flat on their back,

they can faint from low blood pressure.

I asked if that was true and she said she didn't know.

In late pregnancy,

the uterus expands and becomes heavy,

and lying on your back may put pressure on blood vessels,

which could lead to fainting.

Then it helps to lie on your side.

That's why people say that.

Right, Dr. Oh?

Yes.

But you don't have to worry about that yet.

Really?

Can I really lie on my back?

Yes.

If needed, I'll tell you to lie on your side.

Goodness.

You must have read the same blog.

Twins, right?

By the looks of it, at 24 weeks?

Yes.

Twins, 24 weeks, left side, fainting.

If you search online, the top result that shows is…

Was it Tiger Mom?

Or Meow Mom?

That's right. It's Tiger Mom!

I read that too two years ago,

so I only laid on my left side.

I thought my arm was going to fall off.

The professor told me the same thing,

so I laid on my back after that,

and everything was fine.

I wondered

where I'd heard this before.

Those twins

grew well into week 35

and were born healthy at 2.9 kg.

Really?

Gosh, my arm.

I'm a bit sad.

I think you trust Yeon-du more than us.

No, I don't.

It's not that.

I mean, she's been here a long time,

so I trust her.

If there's anything you don't know, feel free to ask.

I'm a high-risk pregnancy expert.

"I'll find out."

Not even "I'll ask the professor,"

but "I don't know"?

You think a resident should say that?

I'm sorry.

Yi-young. You're not afraid of me anymore, are you?

Right?

No, I am afraid.

I'm afraid of you,

but I was more afraid of my own ignorance.

So that's what you were afraid of?

Then let me fix that for you.

Sorry?

Starting today,

study a chapter of Williams a day,

summarize it, and send it to me.

I'll quiz you daily based on that.

After doing that, all your fears will disappear.

-Professor-- -What?

It's starting from today.

You only have a few hours left.

Doctor?

Doctor.

On the ultrasound this morning,

I was wondering if the cervical length looked okay.

Right, I meant to tell you.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It's maintaining well at the same length it was three days ago.

Okay.

Umbilical blood flow looks good too.

But, Doctor,

you're a bit close…

I'm sorry.

This is what the professor seemed to do, so…

Gosh, you don't have to bend down so far.

Right.

Even sitting is hard for us, so we're lying down most of the time.

So she was trying to meet us at eye level.

Right.

Your ultrasound looked good. Don't worry.

Thank you.

I get that you're tired,

but not replying to my text from earlier today's a bit rude.

Right. I'm sorry.

I was so busy today.

I asked if you were free tonight.

I'm on call tonight.

We haven't found time for three weeks, you know.

-Has it been that long? -Yes.

Then how about this Friday?

Friday…

I'm not on call, and I'm free.

Really? You're free on Friday?

Yes.

Okay, in three days then. On Friday.

Okay, sure.

What would you like to eat? What do you like?

I like everything.

Me too.

Somewhere nearby is best, right?

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

What brings you here, Dr. Ham?

I got a call for an epidural.

Aren't you getting in?

We still had things to talk about.

Please go up first.

I'll be up soon.

Okay.

I'll reserve a nice place nearby.

Yi-young.

Never mind. See you later.

Have a nice day.

HAM DONG-HO

YOU DO HAVE A DAY WHEN YOU'RE FREE, RIGHT?

Or maybe not?

DON'T FORGET FRIDAY! YOU'RE OKAY WITH ANYTHING?

I'LL MESSAGE YOU ONCE I HAVE THE PLACE

Hey, I was curious about something.

I have this friend.

Your friend?

Sorry.

Yeah. She's an office worker.

Let's say that's true.

What is it? Is she sick?

No.

Someone keeps asking her to have dinner together.

It was a big surgery… I mean…

They worked on a big project together.

And I guess she helped him out a lot.

-He must be thankful. -He likes her.

But there's someone else she likes.

So should she have dinner with him or not?

-Sure. -No.

Asking to have dinner

means it's a date.

No, it's not.

He's just saying,

"Let's have a meal since we worked hard together."

Colleagues can share a meal, you know.

So should I?

I mean, should I tell her to go?

Yeah. If you make a big deal out of it

and say, "I can't. I like someone else,"

you'll be so embarrassed later.

So just go and have dinner.

And in case it turns out they do like her,

she can tell them then that she likes someone else.

Really?

You guys watch way too much TV.

Having someone like us, having a crush on someone,

or confessing your feelings

aren't that easy to do.

It's actually very hard.

What's suddenly gotten into you?

Do you have a blind date at 6:00 a.m. or something?

No, but someone's buying me a meal.

Who?

My first love.

Today? Out of the blue?

Where?

-Who is it? -Who is it?

My tutor from high school.

I was totally in love with her.

I went to med school because of her.

She's a doctor?

At our hospital?

No.

It would've been so nice if she was.

I even confessed my feelings then.

But she said I'd find tons of people like her at college,

so I should study hard instead.

But there weren't any.

What kind of person is she?

She's amazing.

The way she talks and her facial expressions

can seem very cold and curt, but…

She's so lovely when she smiles.

And her favorite things

are studying and spicy tteokbokki.

Isn't that adorable?

I know someone like that.

Me too.

-That's Kim Sa-bi. -Yeah!

-Hey! -Hey!

You guys are so slow!

When are you going to do the handovers and pre-rounds?

Hey, how dare you?

She's worlds apart from her.

Don't be ridiculous.

What's with him? Where's he going?

To meet his first love.

Hello?

The hospital?

You're doing what?

Wait, hold on.

Okay.

-What is it? -Hong Gi-dong?

Ms…

Hey!

What brings you here?

Did you come here on purpose to have a meal with me?

No.

I came to see a professor for my PhD dissertation progress report.

I came a bit early.

And I remembered you always asked to meet up.

So you did think of me.

Yeah. We always talked about meeting up but didn't.

Right.

How have you been?

How's your residency going?

It's hard, right?

Yes, it's so hard.

How did you do this for four years, Gyeo-ul?

Ms. Jang.

Not Gyeo-ul. It's Ms. Jang.

Okay. Ms. Jang.

It seemed like yesterday you were whining about falling grades.

But it is cool seeing you in a lab coat.

It's all thanks to you.

After HI-BOYZ disbanded,

I studied with you for two years and got into med school.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a doctor.

Me too.

If it weren't for the pay from tutoring you,

I wouldn't have graduated.

But…

do you remember that you were

my first love?

I was?

No, I don't remember.

That was so long ago.

More than ten years.

Why aren't you eating? You always asked me to treat you.

This isn't what I wanted.

Take me out to another meal next time.

Not in these scrubs,

but in our personal clothes.

Well,

just go get changed and you can eat then.

You're playing dumb, aren't you?

-Right? -Yeah.

Was it obvious?

I usually have a good poker face.

PEDIATRICS AHN JEONG-WON

Just a second.

Hi.

Not yet.

I'm meeting with someone.

My surgery's at 4:00 p.m. today, so it's fine.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Okay, bye.

Do you have to go?

No.

Did something happen at the hospital?

It wasn't the hospital. It was my boyfriend.

We're having lunch later, so he asked when I was coming.

Wait…

Who's your boyfriend?

You don't know him.

Since when?

It's been a while.

Why are you telling me this now?

Why do I need to tell you?

Geez…

Then why…

Why are you taking me out for a meal?

Bread.

I bought you some bread.

Damn it.

Goodness.

When will you grow up?

How did meeting your first love go?

Fine.

I saw her off.

Why did she come?

For her PhD…

Hey. Go rest, will you?

Doesn't it hurt?

It does. It still hurts.

Then why are you going around looking for work?

I can't stay in bed anymore.

Okay, work then.

You can work,

but please don't tell the patients that surgery hurts.

They'll get scared.

But it's the truth.

I can't lie.

Geez.

I now know we've been explaining things wrong.

Who said laparoscopic surgery doesn't hurt? It hurts like hell.

And it's not simple at all.

There's surgery, anesthesia, and hospitalization.

And you.

Stop nagging us for urine samples.

We don't like using Nelaton catheters.

I guess you only know if you go through it.

Do you get it now?

What?

You mean the patients?

No.

How itchy unwashed hair is.

I've never seen you with unwashed hair.

That familiar smell. Is it the smell of humanity?

It's not me!

Of course it is.

Hey, that's my room. No one's in there.

YOON ATTENDING DOCTOR: KI EUN-MI

KIM ATTENDING DOCTOR: UM JAE-IL

As I told you during outpatient care,

the cyst found on the ovary

appears benign based on its size and shape.

And on the ultrasound,

it looks like a simple cyst,

so there's no need for any major concern.

But even so,

the ovaries have to be removed?

Yes, since you've already gone through menopause,

the ovaries and fallopian tubes

no longer function at all.

So, it'll be better to remove them now

to lower the risk of any future diseases.

I see.

It's actually quicker and simpler to do

than to remove just the cyst alone.

You don't have to worry.

Well, this is such a nice hospital

with such wonderful doctors,

so I'm sure it'll go well.

Oh, my.

You're the mother of our resident?

Hey, what happened? Why didn't you tell us?

Well…

I just found out too.

I'm sorry, Professor.

No need to be sorry.

Don't be. Ma'am, you should've told us.

You didn't say at outpatient care either.

I didn't want to worry her when she's busy.

I didn't want to be a bother,

and I wasn't going to come,

but still, it's nice to get surgery at your daughter's hospital.

And you get a discount too!

-Welcome, ma'am. -Thank you.

We're very glad you're here.

-Thank you. -We are.

You did very well.

Please take care of my Nam-kyung.

Don't.

At home, her dad spoils her so much like a princess.

So I don't know if she can take care of herself in the real world.

Anyways, please be gentle with her.

Princess, we'll take good care of you.

What? Come on.

Princess Pyo.

Is everything okay?

Yes, there's no bleeding,

and the baby's fine. Don't worry.

What a relief.

By the way, Doctor,

I haven't slept at all these days.

I wake up every hour.

Is there any way to fix that?

We're limited on what medications we can use during pregnancy.

We can't give you sleeping pills.

I know that too.

But being unable to sleep can't be good for the baby.

Is there another way besides drugs?

Instead of lying in bed during the day,

if you move around a bit--

What if that induces uterine contractions?

Moving around won't induce contractions.

Are you sure this time?

Yes, I am.

I don't know how to help you sleep…

I mean,

let me ask the professor.

With placenta previa and bleeding,

it's no surprise you can't sleep.

It's because your head is filled with a lot

of thoughts, worries, and concerns.

There's a sleeping pill I use for when that happens.

She can't.

Taking unprescribed meds would be dangerous.

When you have a lot on your mind, you need to be active.

But we're scared of that too.

So we try to keep at least our fingers busy.

I've already made 500 cranes.

Does folding cranes really make you fall asleep?

Of course.

I'm living proof.

The clinical trial's over.

Thank you.

But if you still can't sleep, tell me.

I have another way too.

Excuse me, ma'am!

I mean, Ms. Ji.

I need a solution before the professor comes,

but I have no one to ask and no time.

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

It's about Ms. Lee.

She has bad constipation,

but doesn't want to take laxatives.

Right, constipation.

For that,

I did my research on this place, so it's trustworthy.

They deliver orders to the hospital lobby too.

Tell her to try this first.

Thank you.

But I'm wondering…

if it's okay for me to drink as well?

Trust me.

I do.

Everyone, I just learned something amazing.

This will work right away.

I need it too, so how about a group order?

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

You came for outpatient care in secret,

and you didn't tell me you booked your surgery.

I didn't want you to worry.

Then you should've kept it completely secret.

I work here. How could I not find out?

Okay, I said I was sorry.

Mom, your surgery's tomorrow, so you have to fast starting at midnight.

Yeah, they already explained everything earlier.

If you eat anything, they'll cancel surgery.

That'll inconvenience all the doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologists.

I said I got it.

Mom.

Don't bother the nurses either, okay?

And don't say anything to the professors.

What on earth would I ever say?

Mom, don't even ask questions. Just ask me.

And, Mom, please don't talk about me here!

It's my place of work!

All right, already.

How many times do you have to say the same…

Hey, did you eat yet? What did you eat?

Just some bread.

Why only bread?

I don't have time.

You should have a proper meal.

They say young people these days have weak immune systems since they don't eat.

I saw it on Dongchimi.

Okay.

Hey, take some dumplings while you're here.

I brought a lot for you to share.

Mom, not now.

You know, you have to line up for our dumplings these days.

These are a delicacy.

Mom, they don't like dumplings here.

Oh, no. I really have to go.

-Just eat one before you go. -Mom, stop.

I mean, just take one in your mouth.

Mom!

I said I don't want it!

I'm busy! I'm working right now!

Gosh, that temper of yours.

That temper.

I told you I didn't want it.

All right!

You'll come later after work, right?

Yeah.

What time? When?

Are you going to eat first? Do you want me to steam these and wait?

I don't know.

-I have to go. -Okay, go.

-Mom. -What?

Please don't talk about me, okay?

-I won't. -Seriously, don't.

-I'm going. -Go.

Your father's coming for Chuseok this year.

He called this afternoon.

-He is? -Yeah.

He said it'd be hard on you and your sister to visit him.

Well, I don't mind.

You didn't tell him, right?

About what?

About my infertility treatment.

You didn't tell him I'm doing it again, right?

I didn't. Don't worry.

For what? It'd obviously just upset him.

-Good job. -Yeah.

By the way, why did you cry in your sleep last night?

I dreamed about that day again.

The day you cried the most in your life?

Yeah.

This time, I was crying in my dream,

but my throat closed up, and I really couldn't breathe.

I couldn't even scream and woke up flailing.

You remember that day?

Of course.

I saw your sister cry for the first time then.

Yi-young?

Yeah, in front of the bathroom.

She scolded me for crying so much.

I can't believe her.

One shot please, Doctor.

FOLLITROPIN

Here we go again.

Yeah.

I really hope this will be the last time.

Please.

Ms. Oh, please take a seat here.

Okay.

I'll make sure it doesn't hurt.

Okay.

We'll disinfect first.

Okay.

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Nam-kyung did?

Yeah.

In middle school,

she studied all the time and didn't really hang out with friends.

During field trips and field days, she was always alone.

But am I talking too much about her?

No, it's so interesting.

It's totally different from the Nam-kyung I know.

Well, the thing is

she brightened up a bit after college.

According to her, after the surgery,

her personality changed or whatever.

Surgery?

-Her nose-- -Fillers!

It wasn't surgery! They were fillers!

Mom, stop and just go to sleep!

Goodness, you scared me!

Gosh, instead of your nose,

they should've fixed your temper.

How many times do I have to tell you they were fillers?

Gosh, who'd put up with that kind of temper?

That's why she's never dated and is always alone.

What?

Others have boyfriends and go on blind dates, but she doesn't.

Who knows if she'll ever get married?

That's not true.

-She had a guy named Gi-dong-- -Hey, Sa-bi!

You need to sleep now so you can heal faster.

You said you wanted to get back to work.

Sleep.

But I think

I'm pretty lucky.

All of my daughter's friends are doctors and nurses.

Even my hospital roommate is her friend.

I told you to just go home and sleep.

Why sleep here?

Because it's a hassle.

But you said your lounge has beds.

Whatever.

Mom, I'm going to sleep now. You should sleep too.

By the way…

my surgery tomorrow

really is minor, right?

There are no minor surgeries.

Gosh, that startled me.

If it was serious, would I be here right now?

You think I'd be able to sleep?

You won't be in the operating room

for my surgery, right?

I can't.

I have another surgery.

You didn't tell me, so I had no time to change my schedule.

Good. Don't come.

I'm still going with you to the OR.

Don't worry.

I won't.

Mom, I'm so sleepy.

You should go to sleep too.

Sleep, sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

What's with him?

Hey!

Have you been possessed by a workaholic ghost?

Go away!

Everyone's busy. The least I can do is not be a burden.

Geez.

It's my third POD, and I'm still being prescribed mucolytics.

I think we can discontinue that.

Let's just discharge you now.

I'd like to, but Prof. Jo said no.

Isn't Dr. Ryu your doctor?

He is.

But Prof. Jo said my hemoglobin levels were still low so I should rest more.

He saw your chart?

That's a surprise.

I don't know. Maybe he's bored.

Oh, right!

For Ms. Kim Seon-yu,

it seems we'll have to remove more of her bowel than expected.

-Ms. Kim Seon-yu? -Yeah.

We're consulting with General Surgery.

She needs surgery and cancer treatment.

How many days has she been on TPN for?

Damn it.

You should take it easy and rest even at home.

If there's vaginal bleeding again, come straight to the delivery room.

Yes, I will.

Your due in two months, right?

Let me know when the baby comes.

Me too.

And send some photos.

In that case, since you know all our numbers,

make a group chat and let us know.

Gosh, I'm jealous.

All I want is to be able to go home too.

You will too.

How can you eat more of those?

You ate a bunch in your ward earlier.

Yeah, I had some at the nurses' station too.

The GYN ward's having a dumpling party.

The OB ward too.

Wherever the dumplings went got a ton of fun facts about Nam-kyung too.

Princess Pyo.

I told Mom not to talk about me.

It turns out their dumpling place is super famous.

It's a popular spot in that area.

I'm so jealous of you, Nam-kyung.

You get to eat dumplings and see your mom.

What?

My parents live abroad.

They run a laundromat in the US.

How did you know?

If you search "Um Jay," it's all online.

Impressive.

Hey, Sa-bi.

Mom wants to know your address so she can send you steamed buns.

Really? When? A lot?

-What about me? -Me too!

But why steamed buns and not dumplings?

She asked me what I like.

And I said I like red beans.

I just said it in passing.

But she has a great memory.

My mom?

Yeah.

The lunches she packed for your elementary school field trips.

Flowers she bought for your high school graduation.

She remembers it all.

My mom never came to any of my graduations.

It made me jealous.

What's there to be jealous of?

Your mom's a big-shot doctor. That's great.

-What's great about that? -What's not great about that?

At least your moms are in the country.

Geez, you're all are so immature.

At least you have moms.

Isn't that enough? You're so greedy.

I should get going. Bye!

-Good luck! -Thanks.

BEWARE OF FALLING

Our professor's famous for being a good surgeon.

He could do yours with his eyes closed.

I know.

But you said you had surgery. Don't you have to go?

After I see you go in, I have to go.

You can do this, right?

I won't be doing anything. The doctors will.

It'll be over in an hour.

Just think of it as taking a nice nap.

Okay.

Goodness.

-Mom. -Yeah?

-I'll see you later. -Okay.

We'll go in now.

Please take good care of her.

Don't worry.

We'll take you in now.

I can do it!

I can do it.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Please take good care of her.

She's my mom.

Yes, I heard.

It's a simple procedure, so…

Well, you already know.

Yes.

Doctor.

My mom really can't stand the cold.

When the surgery's over,

could you put a few more blankets on her?

Yes, I will.

Thank you.

-Mommy! -Mommy!

Hi, San and Deul!

Are you back from preschool?

Did you eat?

Yes, we did!

I'm really going to come home soon now.

When?

Well,

after two more sleeps, I'll be home.

Really?

I was supposed to go after ten sleeps,

but I missed you both so much, so I'm coming sooner.

And the baby?

And the baby?

Let me ask

if the baby

can come with me.

Okay.

Watch some TV and play.

I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

The routine NST didn't show any issues this morning.

But she said just a bit ago the baby wasn't moving well.

So we did another NST,

and we couldn't get a heartbeat.

We did an ultrasonography,

and it seems to be an IUFD.

Any other symptoms?

The lab results were fine with no other symptoms of note.

So what do we do now?

I'll move her to tomorrow's first surgery and tell her guardian to come.

Right. Then…

What do I do now?

What?

I don't know if there's a point

in giving a medical explanation.

And when I think about it as a fellow mom,

it makes it even harder to talk about.

If I tell her I have no words,

that would be meaningless.

I don't know what to say to her.

To explain the procedure…

I'll do it. Just prepare the consent form.

No.

I will do it.

The abdomen was clean with no adhesions.

The cyst looked completely benign even to the naked eye.

That's a relief.

They were done in twenty minutes,

so she should be fine.

Right.

Her belly was stitched up nicely too.

You're right.

Goodness.

I remembered you said she easily gets cold,

so I put three more blankets when she came out.

You did?

Hey, you're a patient too, you know.

Right. That's why I know.

You didn't have to do that.

Mom, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?

It hurts.

Ma'am, it's normal for it to hurt a lot.

You just had surgery, so it'll feel like your ribs and back are being crushed.

It's going to hurt for a few more hours.

It won't be okay for a bit.

I'll be her doctor for today.

I'm not busy anyway.

Thanks, Sa-bi.

Mom, I have to go.

If it hurts, don't bear it.

Tell Sa-bi.

She'll give you some painkillers, okay?

Bye. Thanks.

Nam-kyung.

What? What is it, Mom?

Don't eat bread.

Eat a proper meal.

Why would I eat at this hour?

Have a proper meal.

Okay, I will.

You should eat.

It's been a long time since lunch.

Suddenly…

something so unexpected happened.

You've been through a lot.

Doctor.

Yes?

The surgery's in the morning.

You have to fast starting from midnight.

And you can't eat for six hours after surgery.

Okay.

So…

If you don't eat now,

you'll get hungry later on.

Then…

you'll hate yourself for being hungry at a time like this

and wonder if you deserve to be a mom.

That's what my sister told me.

She usually doesn't cry much.

But she cried a lot then.

When she woke up the next morning,

she cried because she was hungry.

She was afraid the baby would be hungry too.

She thought since she didn't eat,

maybe the baby couldn't eat anything either.

I told her

the baby didn't need food anymore.

But it didn't help.

It's already been more than five years,

but sometimes, she still dreams about that day.

So,

even if you have to force yourself, try to eat.

You must be so sad,

so at least you won't have to think about this.

That's good.

It doesn't hurt? Your stomach isn't sore?

No, they must've done a good job.

Did you take the pain meds?

Yeah, Dr. Sa-bi was with me and made sure I took them on time.

She said you two were the closest.

What?

Yeah.

I guess.

Were you busy today too?

Of course.

I have another surgery to go to later.

What kind?

Would you know if I told you?

I mean, which professor's surgery is it?

The one I always talk about.

The Witch?

No.

The one who always screams in the OR?

What was it? It was "Devil" something.

Kong… what was it?

Mom, be quiet. Someone will hear you!

No.

If I ever run into them here,

I'll give her a piece of my mind.

You're allowed to scold.

But why scream at all of you?

They must be insane!

What are you saying?

You better not, okay?

Dr. Pyo?

Hello, Professor.

Isn't our surgery soon? What are you doing?

Nothing, ma'am.

I was just leaving.

Hello, Professor.

I'm…

Nam-kyung's mother.

Hello.

I'm Prof. Kong Gi-sun,

and I work with Nam-kyung.

Was your surgery all right?

Yes.

Nam-kyung's told me

all about you.

Look,

Professor…

my Nam-kyung…

still has a long way to go.

I did my best to raise her,

but you might find her difficult at times.

I'm so worried she might be inconveniencing

all the amazing doctors here.

I'm very sorry.

Gosh, no.

Our Dr. Pyo is an amazing doctor.

Gosh, thank you so much.

My daughter's doing something meaningful thanks to her wonderful professor.

Please take good care of her.

Gosh.

Don't you worry.

Take your time, Dr. Pyo.

Have a good night.

-See you soon. -Good night.

Geez, you scared me!

Kong?

Yeah, that's her.

The screamer.

Quiet, she'll hear you.

Stop joking around!

Is it nice to be back?

They told you to take the weekend off.

All right, that's a good attitude to have.

Let me know if you need more work. You can have some of mine.

Me too! I have loads to give too.

We'll see.

I'm buying to celebrate my return.

Chocolate Honey Pong Crush for me.

Me too.

Two Chocolate Honey Pong Crushes,

one hot Americano,

and for Nam-kyung…

A mega iced Americano.

All right.

And one hot peppermint tea, please.

That's five total, right?

Yes, that's right.

Thank you.

One of these too.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Your appointment's next week, right?

If you feel dizzy or pain in the surgery site,

don't wait and just come.

-I can come right away? -Yes.

Gosh, thank you so much.

And please take good care of my Nam-kyung.

It's so reassuring to know she has such good friends.

You can close the shop for a day.

You should eat lunch before you go.

Your Dad's working so hard all by himself.

Tell your friends

I said thanks for coming to say goodbye,

for liking my dumplings,

and for being your good friends.

All right.

I could take the bus.

You just got discharged. You can take a taxi.

I'm fine though.

Mom, it's already been paid for.

You'll waste money if you don't take it. You sure?

Gosh, why waste money on something like that?

Just take it. Skipping one taxi ride won't make us rich.

Okay, don't get all frustrated.

Mom, don't come here anymore.

I'm busy as it is.

You being here is a hassle for me.

Geez.

So,

don't get sick.

Okay.

Were you scared when they sent you to a big hospital?

Yeah.

My vision blurred and my heart raced.

Were you scared of the surgery?

Yeah.

I almost…

cried.

The hospital bed was uncomfortable too.

It was tough, wasn't it?

No.

I had a really nice time.

What?

It was the first time since you were in middle school

that we got to sleep together like that.

For me,

it was a really happy three days.

Why are you saying that?

My gosh, what's with you?

Look at this.

Goodness.

After always yelling at me with that temper…

Mom.

Don't cry.

Mom.

Stop crying, okay?

Okay.

-Don't cry. -Mom.

Don't cry.

Mom.

You're still a baby, aren't you?

You're eating by yourselves again?

-Hello. -Hello.

Did your mom get home well, Nam-kyung?

Yes, she did.

Goodness. You did a great job.

Thank you.

Isn't that Yi-young's phone?

Gosh, she's so absent-minded.

She was in such a rush.

If I hadn't told her, she would've left with her scrubs on.

Pick it up.

Hello, this is Oh Yi-young's phone.

"Are you a thief?" she says.

Can't you tell by my voice?

You left your phone at the lounge.

I'll put it on your desk, so take it later.

Bye.

Did Yi-young go somewhere?

She had dinner plans.

With who?

I don't know who, but I think it's a guy.

How do you know that?

Remember that story about her friend or whatever?

That?

You weren't there, so you don't know, right?

Someone asked her to dinner,

but she asked if it was because he was thankful or he liked her.

And?

That it was about her friend.

Yeah, right. It was totally about her.

Have you ever seen her meet a friend?

-No. -Right?

She's going to see a guy.

Welcome.

The name your reservation is under?

Ham Dong-ho.

-We'll take you to your room. -Room?

This way.

Here is your room.

Come in.

You didn't show, so we were scared you had an emergency.

You don't, right?

That's right.

Dr. Ham said he has ordered for us.

We can have a drink tonight, right? Take a seat.

Come on!

Yeah, we all went through that night together.

So we should celebrate.

Of course we should.

We saved a baby.

Weren't we so cool that night?

Right, Dr. Oh?

I guess so.

I think you were the coolest, Dr. Oh.

But why are you here?

That really hurts my feelings.

I'm the one who found Dr. Ku.

That was the turning point of that surgery.

So of course I should be here.

Of course. "Make the cut deeper."

Dr. Ku made my heart skip!

I'll mix the drinks.

Sometimes, Dr. Ku acts like he's the lead in a medical drama.

But he really was cool.

-Really. -Wait.

Yi-young, mix the drinks deeper.

What are you talking about?

What is that laugh?

Here you go!

Thank you.

Good job, everyone!

-Good job! -Good job!

-Which way are you going? -I'm…

-I'm this way. -Me too.

-I'm going this way. -Me too.

-Okay. -See you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

-What's going on, you two? -Bye, Yi-young!

-They make a cute couple. -Yeah.

I never thought Dong-ho would treat us to such a nice place.

Right?

I wish he told us earlier.

Who makes plans the day before? I almost didn't make it.

That's better than me. He only texted me this morning.

Who cares? Nothing beats a free meal.

Hey, how about another drink?

-I have to take care of my kid. -I have work tomorrow.

I have to go home and watch TV.

Are you going home?

No, to the hospital.

I left my phone there.

-About today… -Yes?

Did you think it would just be us two?

No.

I was worried you'd think it was a date.

Not at all.

I'm not the type to easily be mistaken

or misunderstand things like that.

I see.

Now that I think about it,

I don't think I told you I invited the others.

It's okay. I had fun.

All right.

Thank you so much for the meal.

You're welcome.

Can I ask you something though?

You don't have to answer.

Let's hear it first.

The person you like…

How did you know?

So it's true.

No one knows about that.

I never told anyone.

That may be so, but it was obvious.

We have the best viewing spot in the room.

Sa-bi's discharge party?

No, I have dinner plans tomorrow.

How many times do I have to repeat this?

I'm substituting for Sa-bi's surgery.

Three deliveries in a row.

Are the patient's results in?

Yes, they are.

Here.

We'll deliver the baby and remove the ovarian cyst today.

It's larger than expected and stuck in the back.

There may be some adhesions.

Then are we removing this cyst as well?

That's the bladder.

Right, thank you.

I'll go check on Ms. Seong's OR.

Okay.

I see.

So it's that obvious.

Isn't it tough to have a one-sided crush?

It is tough.

These days, I'm smiling, but not on the inside.

Then…

Can't you stop?

How about me?

I've never thought about it.

The one I like much more than I appear to is…

Dr. Ku Do-won.

I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry.

I understand.

Then…

I'll have to hope you two don't work out.

What?

I'll be jealous if it works out.

Gosh.

I'm not giving you any ORs from now on.

Hey, you can't do that.

Whatever. It's my choice.

I didn't realize how petty you were.

Yes, very.

Still, you can't let personal feelings affect work.

Whatever.

You can't say that. You're a doctor!

KU DO-WON

CALL ME WHEN YOU FIND YOUR PHONE

You didn't bring your car?

No.

By the way,

did you wait to explain the consent form to me?

We can do that tomorrow.

I can handle that much on my own now.

No, I just thought I might as well…

And I had some work left.

Did you eat?

Yes, with Dr. Ham.

And the team from that hectic surgery.

We all celebrated together.

I had black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork too.

And yangjangpi.

And I had four flower buns.

You ate a lot.

I wish I could do that.

What?

I want to do that too.

Here?

Now?

Yes.

Would that be okay?

I'm…

Well…

I'm not so sure.

But I keep…

thinking about you.

My legs hurt a lot after walking from the hospital.

Want to sit too?

Is it too cramped?

ELEVATED HEART RATE

THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, SHIN HYUN-BEEN, OUR ETERNAL JANG GYEO-UL

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

Filming?

They want to see our everyday work lives.

Just be yourself. Don't force anything.

And it was in front of film crew on their first day here.

Right place, right time.

It just feels like the way we met was fate.

They said a natural birth was essential for the baby's health.

Prep with that in mind.

She forgets to do her own work, but gets on my case to do better.

"Did you do it? Are you going to?"

It's better than "Do it again" without checking!

Then check it again now.

Again, again!

Hey, be quiet!

-I'm upset! -I'm upset!

Look at this. I knew this would happen.

"Born in 1996. Horoscope for second week of October."

"A week of war with fights breaking out often."

That's so annoying!

I usually don't get angry at anyone so easily.

But why do you keep making ridiculous mistakes?

It can happen.

Today's his first day at GYN, so it's hectic for him.

Are you trying to lure him over to OB-GYN?

I might not know everything,

but I know how to steal someone's heart.

It's you, right? HI-BOYZ!

Did I tell you about our trip?

A trip? All of a sudden?

They'll be gone for a few days.

I think they said for four days.
