Please wake up, ma'am!

Doctor.

I'm sleepy.

No, you can't sleep! Open your eyes!

It's so cold.

Please hold on.

Ma'am, what's your name?

Seo Eun-ju.

Where are we?

Ma'am! What day is it today?

What day is it today?

Your second child was born today! The birthday!

October 16th.

That's right.

Please hold on.

More blood, please. And administer more FFP.

CPR. Start compressions.

Pack and cover the abdomen.

-I need an emergency cart! -Yes, sir!

More gauze.

Suction.

Let's switch.

A dose of epinephrine, please!

You need to feed and hold your babies!

You wanted to see your baby so much.

Eun-ju!

Honey!

How can I live without you?

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Dr. Cha is on leave, right?

Yeah, she was really shaken by the death of the transferred patient.

She cried for days after.

It's understandable.

We saw her bed being wheeled by that day.

And even that glimpse still gives me nightmares.

That patient had such severe bleeding

that they did a hysterectomy and gave 30 units of blood.

Once DIC set in, there was nothing they could do.

Goodness.

Postpartum hemorrhage is what I hate the most.

Why do things like that even happen?

Right? Why do they happen?

-Hello. -Hello.

There's no way to know.

Also, we can't predict in advance if the patient will develop PPH. Right?

We can't stop the bleeding from happening.

So if it happens, we must be able to deal with it.

To do that, we need to study more.

So for the next month, we'll have sessions twice a week.

-Professor, come on. -Professor, come on.

You sound pretty eager. Should we make it three?

This week, we'll study what we can do when PPH does occur.

What's that?

They're the materials we covered in Prof. Kong's PPH class last time.

Instead of these…

-Use these. -Yes, ma'am.

Okay, starting from today, we'll be doing something very important.

Instead of just theory, hands-on, practical training.

So if you doze off, sleep…

or not pay attention, I won't stand for it.

Yes, ma'am.

The most important thing with PPH

is recognizing it right away and acting fast.

PPH?

I already gave a lecture on that.

-Yes. -Then, why is Jung-min…

I mean, why is Prof. Seo doing it again?

Well, there was that last case.

She wants to focus on practical training for easy understanding…

Easy?

So what I taught last time was hard?

No.

As if it makes a difference if she does it.

She thinks she can do it all.

God, she's so arrogant.

Our surgery's at 3:00 p.m., right?

Well…

Prof. Seo has six surgeries today, and she did an emergency C-section.

And spinal anesthesia failed in a different surgery,

so they said switching to general anesthesia delayed things.

So, when's mine?

At around 5:00 p.m. I've already informed the patient.

What?

Hey, I only have one surgery today.

I'm supposed to wait until 5:00 p.m. for one surgery?

Prof. Seo has OR priority today.

So she thinks she's the boss today?

And can do whatever she wants?

No!

Ask Anesthesiology for another room.

After a GS surgery,

they said one might open up at 3:00 p.m.

But Prof. Seo's going to use it too.

If we have two, I should get one.

Why does she get both?

Hold on. Is she playing mind games with me?

No. She has a lot of surgeries today,

so I don't think she has the time for that…

Yi-young told me

she has a meeting with the hospital director at 6:30 p.m.,

so she has to be done before then and asked for your understanding…

Why is she meeting the director?

That's something I don't know either.

Damn it.

Tell Jung-min I have to do my surgery at 3:00 p.m.

I won't do it at 5:00 p.m.

And you make sure we get an OR. Okay?

What do you expect me to do?

Did you tell Prof. Kong the surgeries have been delayed?

Yes, I did.

I notified them that she'll do her surgery last as planned.

And she agreed to it? She didn't complain?

I don't know. I just need to survive.

What I mean is…

You said to make it so you could leave by 6:00 p.m.

But if I don't, I'll get scolded…

Good job.

What's gotten into you?

Did something happen?

Hey, next Tuesday, I'll add an induction for Prof. Kong.

You can't. Prof. Seo said to book one for her too.

Prof. Seo has three inductions on Monday.

We need to do two on Tuesday.

You don't have many patients.

Do it on Thursday.

There's a conference then.

You should do it on Thursday.

But Seo Jung-min…

She's going too.

I'm dead if I don't book Tuesday.

What about Kong then? With that temper, I'll be dead too.

Damn it, this is so annoying.

They should talk it out. Why make us do it?

I know, right?

Hey, don't they seem weird these days?

They've always been weird and still are.

Well, that's true.

But lately, it seems they've gotten worse.

In what way?

It's a bloody rivalry.

So immature.

I mean, one gets upset just from hearing the name "Seo Jung-min."

And the other always says no whenever Kong Gi-sun's mentioned.

And we're stuck in the middle suffering.

It's ridiculous.

Hi!

What's going on?

Why did you come back?

Prof. Im's doing an emergency C-section.

But you're on GYN duties.

Yeah, I'm done with my GYN work.

Then you should go home.

Why observe an OB surgery?

It's an incarceration case, so how can I go?

What do you mean "how"? Go as fast as you can.

It's a really rare case. If not now, I may never get to see.

You're really not going?

We're going…

Home.

Okay, bye!

Hello.

Hey.

You finished your work. Why are you still here?

There's a surgery I wanted to see.

A surgery you want to see so badly that you're staying at work?

Yes.

Right, it is a tough surgery.

The approach is unique too.

And for residents, I'm sure seeing how the hands work will be pretty amazing.

I really think it's amazing.

-Gosh, you don't-- -Goodbye, sir!

Where are you going?

The OR changed. It's here.

No, it's not.

Dr. Im's C-section is in OR 6.

Hey, you're on GYN rotation now.

Yes, but they say incarcerations are unique right from the incision,

so I really want to see it.

See you tomorrow, sir.

Goodness.

She is just hopeless.

Hey!

Why did you call me? You're not even ready!

Maybe I should've observed too?

You said you had plans.

Who cares? They said it's a really rare case.

Incarcer… round?

-Incarceration. -Right. That.

Are you sure you want to see it?

Right?

You sure you want to see the surgery and not the Hello Girl?

What are you saying? Why would I want to see her?

I mean, you've been following Sa-bi everywhere lately.

-I was just wondering. -When?

The whole time ever since karaoke night.

Yeah.

I mean, October's almost gone, and we're almost second-years now.

When you're around Sa-bi, you learn things.

And she's good at explaining things.

She makes it easy to understand.

Whatever.

If you two end up dating, you have to tell us first.

After all, we spend 16 hours a day together.

It would hurt to find out secondhand.

KU DO-WON

You're spinning tales, geez.

Hello?

I'm at the hospital…

Sure, I'd…

Sounds good.

Okay, bye.

Who was that?

Are you…

It was my brother-in-law.

He was passing by and is giving me a ride.

Then can you give me a ride to the bus stop?

It's in the same direction.

Hey, me too.

And I can greet your brother-in-law too.

-No! -Hey.

Why not?

You can't.

We have things to talk about.

It's family stuff.

Okay, I'll cover my ears then.

Yeah, me too.

No!

Come on. I'm too weak to even walk.

No, no.

Why is everything a "no"?

He's…

very shy.

He hates riding with people he doesn't know.

I'll give you a ride next time.

Go on.

Yi-young, you're…

so mean.

Bye!

See you tomorrow.

You're mean.

What?

You want me to come?

What? Eat?

Go?

I missed you too!

Stay in the car?

Aren't you coming?

Don't do what?

So you want me to stay in the car?

Come on!

What if someone sees?

If they do, then…

You said they'd assume we're going the same way.

That's because it was true then, so it was okay.

But not anymore.

What do you mean?

We still go the same way.

No, I mean…

I'm just afraid people will talk about how we're dating.

They can't know yet.

Why not?

Are you worried we might break up after rumors start going around?

No. We're not going to break up.

It's just… the first-years don't know anything.

I wonder if I should tell them first.

But where do I even begin to explain?

That you were my sister's in-law,

and we live in the same house?

It wasn't like this at first, but now…

I don't know. My head hurts. I give up.

Won't they be sad to find out secondhand later?

After all, you're friends.

No, we're not.

They don't really like me.

I don't think that's the case.

Not only them,

but I'm also worried people at work will get the wrong idea.

I've always made mistakes, and I keep making them.

I'm worried they'd say it's because I'm too busy dating.

I'm always being criticized, so it's fine.

But I don't want it to hurt you…

Do-won.

Sorry?

What?

What?

It's your name.

Do-won.

Well, that is true. You're right. Yes.

"Yes"?

Don't say, "Yes."

Be casual and say, "Yeah."

It's still a bit…

At work, you go, "Hey, Yi-young," and have no trouble being casual.

You're right.

Then…

Well…

Yi…

Oh Yi-young…

Dr. Oh. I can't do it!

Let's just go home, Do-won.

OH YI-YOUNG WANT TO GO FOR A WALK?

KU DO-WON SOUNDS GOOD

-Hey. -What?

Are you seeing someone?

What?

No.

Yeah.

-What? -What?

-What? -Holy cow!

I knew it.

You've been staring at your phone all day.

Hey, either sit down properly or get lost.

Who is it?

Is it someone from work?

Oh, my. Did you know too, Do-won?

No. What?

There's no way he'd know.

He's not interested in such things.

Who is it?

Forget it. Whatever. Don't date.

-Why not? -What?

Well, it obviously sounds like a colleague.

If they break up in the end, I'm just worried it'd cause a mess.

She's terribly fickle.

One minute she's in love, the next minute she's not.

When was I ever like that?

And I've never dated anyone before.

This is my first love.

Oh, my God!

Won-woo, Sang-min,

and who else was it?

Was it Hoo-ni?

Or was it So-ni?

Anyway, don't you remember?

No, I've never heard of them before.

Who are they?

Anyway, don't be foolish with dating and inconvenience your coworkers.

You have to see them every day for four years.

Right. That's why they say dating a coworker, a friend,

or someone with complicated ties is a bad idea.

You and Joo-young were coworkers.

If you get married like us, then it's okay.

We will.

Oh, my gosh!

What am I, a vegetable that needs water?

Gross.

But wait, what did you say?

What are you going to do? Get married?

You?

For goodness' sake.

Then show me. I'll be at the hospital in a couple days.

Introduce us to him.

I was just joking. It was to make you laugh.

For crying out loud.

Hey. If it was a joke, why did you make it sound so serious?

Why are you so angry?

I'm not!

Don't treat me like those bean sprouts!

What's wrong with this one?

Give her some slack.

The day after tomorrow is the third blood test, and she's nervous.

What are you talking about? I'm fine.

I'm not nervous at all.

Results of the first test were ambiguous, so they did a second one.

They showed an ambiguous increase too.

They said the third test should be at least double the second.

But I'm not sure.

Still, the pregnancy tests consistently showed two lines.

It was like that during the third round of IVF and still failed.

Don't get your hopes up.

Okay, I won't.

We're doing it one more time anyway.

So if it works, great. If not, what can we do?

Right.

I almost forgot. I can't make it to the hospital that day.

Can one of you come? Please?

I'll see if I can.

I'm surprised. You must be really busy.

He's been doing a research project with nanoparticles,

and it reached deterministic and statistical optimization.

What has done what?

They're called nanoparticles,

and their surface-modifying polymer coating…

Look, you wouldn't know.

You know who started that research?

My predecessor and researcher, Oh Joo-young.

Gosh, before I quit,

that was my prized research project.

And all this time,

what have I been doing?

No, what I mean is

my work's a part of it too,

so I want you to do your best with it.

Of course. Everything will work out for the both of us.

I said not to get your hopes up.

Okay.

-I'll take it! -I'll take it!

It's Prof. Seo's patient.

Hold on.

Professor Kong said--

Be quiet. You'll wake the babies.

I'm fine either way, so you two come to an agreement and let me know.

Gosh, they're always bickering.

Ms. Na Hyo-jin. At 33-weeks and in MFICU with preeclampsia.

Her BP had been stable,

but it rose to 150 this morning, and she now has a headache.

She needs to deliver today.

Chae Yu-ra. At 33-weeks and in MFICU with PPROM.

She developed a fever this morning.

She has to deliver today, but EBW's only 1,900 g.

Really?

Our baby's 1,800 g.

It's smaller and more delicate.

Our patient might have chorioamnionitis.

Ours might develop preeclampsia.

Just transfer your patient.

-I said no. -I can't either.

-This is Pediatrics. -If I do,

-Kong wants me gone. -Yes, I'm coming.

Then go!

-Wait, why? -Where are you going?

Dr. Myeong's in delivery, but the baby's not well.

Move.

Watch your feet.

Damn it, I just got robbed.

I'd like it if you could come and check.

My mom's IV is leaking again.

Okay, we'll check.

Thank you.

Wait, isn't that the guardian who made a scene

for poking his mother twice with the IV?

Yes, that's him.

I'm surprised he said thank you.

Last time they were admitted,

the professor exploded at him for calling me "lady."

After that, he's been kind. It's just his tone.

-I'll go check. -Okay.

Hey, what have you been doing? The patient's burning up!

Is that…

It's POD 1, so we did a chest X-ray.

It looked fine, so we're observing them.

Even if that was fine,

if the patient keeps getting a fever, you have to do something!

Blood and urine cultures are taken on POD 2 and 3.

And the wound culture is done on POD 4 and 5 if there's a fever.

I was going to check the wound during the routine dressing tomorrow.

Hey, are you giving me a lecture?

-No. -I told you.

Only tell me things I don't know.

Don't waste your breath on things I already know!

I'm sorry.

I don't care what POD it is. You have to find the source of the fever!

So what should you do?

You don't know?

I do.

Then why aren't you answering?

You said to only tell you things you don't know…

Are you joking right now?

Whether it's a blood or urine culture or a wound complication check,

get a fever workup on the patient right now

and get that temperature down, okay?

Yes, Professor.

I bet you wouldn't have been this sloppy if this was OB.

Why is he dragging OB into this?

I don't know.

Last time for a POD 1, he complained I ran too many tests.

What does he want me to do?

I think you totally got in his doghouse somehow.

Did you do something wrong?

Me?

No, nothing.

Sa-bi.

This is a method I often use.

If the professor's expression is

bad, like really serious.

Then beat them to the punch and say, "I'm sorry!"

I did nothing wrong, so why apologize?

No reason.

Just pretend you made a mistake and do it.

But I didn't, so why pretend?

What I'm saying is…

Never mind.

You just do it your way.

I have a surgery to go to.

Try not to get yelled at while I'm gone.

Hey, I can't believe

I'm the one saying this to you.

By the way, Professor.

Why didn't you do open surgery for this cancer case?

I'm not saying it was wrong.

I mean, it's a complicated procedure.

So I was curious about why you went with a laparoscopic surgery instead.

I'm not trying to argue at all. I just wanted to ask.

Honestly, sir.

I feel so moved right now.

A first-year asked me a question during surgery.

This is a first.

Everyone just

assumes everything we do is right.

They think, "The professor will take care of it."

No one is curious like this.

Studies show no difference in patient outcomes

between laparoscopy and open surgery.

But in the case of this patient,

she's older.

So we are trying

to reduce the number of hours in surgery as much as possible.

Does that answer your question…

Doctor…

Dr. Yoon Tae-jin?

It's Um Jae-il.

Yes, of course. Um Jae-il.

Of course, I know you.

I know about the…

Hi… Hi-Man.

It's HI-BOYZ.

Sorry.

Removing the specimen.

Gosh.

Look at this.

Why do things like these form?

They make people so upset

and suffer so much.

Goodness.

Anyway,

HI-BOYZ.

You're really not going?

Prof. Kong doesn't buy us pizza often.

And it's from a really good place.

I don't really like pizza that much.

You ate a whole pie last time…

I do like pizza, but today I think

I have indigestion.

Do you need medicine?

No!

I'm fine.

I don't usually take drugs.

You go ahead.

We'll be right back then.

No!

No?

Take your time.

Eat a lot and make sure to chew carefully.

You might get indigestion.

-Okay. We'll be right back. -Okay. We'll be back.

I can't wait!

You should've gone and eaten pizza.

I like this better.

Dr. Oh.

I'm very confused.

Do you want to keep this a secret or tell everyone?

I don't know.

But I'm sure I want to be with you.

Me too.

I can't pick it up.

-Some meat too. Yeah. -Meat?

And the spinach?

Spinach too?

I'm too tired to even lift my spoon.

I better help you.

No, Dr. Oh. No.

-I'm strong. -Really, I'm fine though.

Geez, if you drop your chopsticks,

pick them up…

Dr. Myeong?

Hello.

Hi.

-Dr. Oh. -Yes?

The surgery ahead of us is running long. Bring her down 30 minutes later.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, Professor.

Prof. Kong wrote the letter of recommendation.

Professor applications are due next week, so I wanted to make sure mine's in order.

Yes. Thank you. Bye.

Hey, Dr. Ku?

By any chance,

have you heard how many applied for the professor position this time?

No.

I heard Dr. Yoo Jeong-hye applied.

Oh, her?

By the way, your lunch box…

Enjoy your food.

See you later.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Gosh, that scared me.

This darn hospital is so huge, but there's nowhere for us to date.

Because dates are usually done outside.

The only places we go are here and home.

So when, where, and how?

And at home, we have two sets of eyes on us.

Right.

I have to work this weekend too.

Damn it.

Then want to meet at the emergency stairs later?

It's quiet there.

All the floors are already full.

Geez, don't they do any work?

Then the elevator?

You've seen too many movies. That won't work.

Then where?

I have about 30 minutes after 9:00 p.m.

Let's have some coffee there.

-I'm sure it's empty. -Where?

It's--

PYO NAM-KYUNG

Damn it, she has awful timing.

What?

Ma'am, your cervical length looks good. Everything's fine.

You can go up to the ward now.

Okay, thank you.

I have to start outpatient ultrasounds now, so move.

Just one more. I swear, last one.

No. Can't you see all the patients outside?

-I'll be quick. -I said no.

If they're ward patients, use the portable ultrasound there.

Why are you down here?

Prof. Kong said to do official sonographies.

Look, I don't care.

I'm sorry.

Come on out.

If ultrasounds run late, we'll be backed up.

Look, I know.

But Kong had urgent decisions to make and wanted dopplers done here too.

So what am I supposed to do?

It's nothing.

If you take a seat here for a moment,

I'll come get you soon.

Okay.

You should come during lunch when we're on break.

I told you several times I just heard too.

Please, just this once.

I have to do this fast and go back up.

Damn it.

Then hurry.

Yes, Professor?

Have you done Ms. Moon's ultrasound yet?

Why isn't she here for her appointment?

I'm sorry. Ultrasounds are a bit backed up.

I'll do it now and send her to you.

Yi-young, outpatient care's been held up by ultrasounds all morning.

So? Do you need me to come?

No, I'm sorry!

I'll be quick!

Hello, Professor.

Yes, I checked everyone.

But there's one patient I don't think we can…

No, I can do it. Yes.

Yes, ma'am.

Bye.

Yi-young, just this once!

Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello!

Look at those bumbling fools.

If they prepared beforehand, they wouldn't need to run.

What are you doing?

That's hot!

Ms. Jeon's surgery is the first one for tomorrow.

Did you know it's a colostomy for bowel obstruction?

-Yes, I know. -Then tell me.

Why is there porridge when she should be fasting?

Did you want the surgery to be ruined?

Well…

I personally asked the chief of Surgery for this one.

If this gets canceled, how would that make me look?

It's a co-op…

A surgical consult--

And?

So what?

The order

by the Surgery resident…

What about them?

What?!

I'm sorry.

Hey, are you here to save lives or to take them?

Thank God I did my rounds then.

But what if I hadn't?

Professor Jo.

Hello, Chief.

Why aren't you picking up?

I'm so sorry. I was just…

Because of my resident… But is something the matter?

Yeah, I…

Apparently, my resident made a mistake.

He confused the patients and ordered meals for Ms. Jeon.

Right, the meals…

You mean the porridge, right?

Yeah, the porridge.

Did she eat it already?

-No, she hasn't. -Goodness.

There's no need to worry about that.

I double-check everything.

That's a relief.

And you…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. Things like that happen often.

It's okay.

Just be careful from now on.

Chief, since you're here, how about we have some tea?

Should we then?

-Okay, let's go. -Okay.

You can go back.

Why didn't you tell him?

"I didn't do that."

I was scared.

He was in the wrong.

You did nothing wrong, Dr. Kim.

So chin up.

Yes, sir.

Hang in there.

You can do…

I shouldn't just say such things.

I should be of some help.

It's okay. Thank you.

I'll put in the prescriptions.

Go get yourself a coffee.

It's okay, sir.

No, no.

Go. I want a coffee too.

Hurry up. Go!

Get up! Hurry!

Come on.

Go and get me a…

You know. An iced Americano this big.

You know, right?

Let's see.

What have we got here?

Aren't you hungry?

What about you?

What? Is something in your coffee? Does it taste weird?

No.

The cafeteria has spicy stir-fried pork today.

Really? Okay.

Hey, Jae-il. Today's bunsik day.

Ask her if she wants that.

Ask who?

Jae-il, I had bunsik yesterday.

I had pork yesterday.

Then, tonight--

-Spicy pork. -Bunsik.

You two figure it out. Don't put me in the middle.

Did you two fight?

-No! -No!

You did.

Why would I? I have no reason to.

Yeah, I have no reason to fight with her.

But she gets me scolded a lot.

You're one to talk.

Sa-bi, if a patient in the ward needs urgent care,

is it that big of a deal to check her before outpatient ultrasounds?

Jae-il, can you believe some people still don't get the outpatient process?

I just wanted to have dinner.

Forget it.

Let's not eat and just starve together!

Hey! Don't drink that!

Professor Ryu bought it for me!

I'm sorry!

Seriously, you…

Do you have to take it this far?

It's not even a big deal!

Damn it. I'm leaving.

No one better stop me. I'm going for real!

Damn it!

You did great.

We'll call you with the results.

It'll take about an hour.

I'm done with blood tests now, right?

That was the last one?

Probably so.

Then,

for next time…

If the results are good, we'll do an ultrasound next week.

That's when you look at images of the womb, right?

Yes.

And an hour would mean a call at around 1:30 p.m.?

We'll call you as soon as we get the results.

All right. Thank you.

Dr. Oh, we have many new patients tomorrow.

Are you going to delay the outpatient ultrasounds again?

Yes, ma'am.

I mean, I won't.

If ultrasounds are delayed, that's a ton of complaints.

Dr. Pyo.

I have 25 outpatients who need ultrasounds tomorrow, right?

Yes, ma'am.

I need to be done with my appointments by 5:00 p.m.

There can't be any delays. Got it?

I'll check as quickly as possible.

And a room's opening up in the OB ward.

I need that one.

That's what I was going to say.

I need it.

My patient in GYN ward needs to go there.

It makes doing rounds difficult.

You get what I mean, Dr. Pyo?

Yes, ma'am.

That's what I meant.

My patient's in the GYN ward too. I'm counting on you.

And make sure to eat.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, Administration?

I'm Dr. Pyo Nam-kyung from OB-GYN.

I heard there's a room open in the OB ward.

Hey!

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25

Sorry, I had work.

Don't pretend to be nice.

It's weird.

They haven't called yet?

No.

Are you nervous?

No.

If it worked, it would've been at the first blood test.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Hello?

Yes, this is Oh Joo-young.

I see.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

What was it at?

They said 91.

It was 153 during the second test. It's even lower.

A chemical miscarriage?

How did you know?

Right, you're a doctor.

How can you laugh now?

Maybe it's because I wasn't hopeful.

I don't feel as bad as I thought I would.

I'm fine.

It's not like I heard its heartbeat or felt a kick.

It just means a cell's gone.

And I still have two embryos left.

It's okay. I can try again.

Eat before you go. I have a bit of time.

You're busy. We'll skip food.

Just buy me a coffee.

I couldn't have coffee because of the IVF.

I could use a nice, cold one.

Let's go then.

And you?

Iced Americano.

One iced Americano and one iced latte, please.

And make the latte decaf…

Never mind.

It already became a habit.

It was all for nothing.

And I tried so hard.

Come on, now.

I'm sorry. One iced Americano and…

an iced latte with an extra shot.

With a lot of caffeine, please.

Sure.

PROF. JO JOON-MO

Hello, Professor.

Sa-bi went to the bathroom.

I'll check and get right back to you.

Goodbye.

It was nothing.

He wanted you to check the OR schedule.

Did you eat?

You should be at the cafeteria.

What? Were you afraid of running into the professor?

Why are you here?

Why else would I come to a bank?

To withdraw money.

They're closing now. Let's go.

Okay.

If you want to be alone, come here during the day.

And go there at night.

Where?

There's a place where no one goes.

It's quiet.

Don't laugh. Be quiet!

Excuse me.

I'll look at him. He's a friend.

Sure.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Do you know how hard it was just to get here?

Please help me.

All right.

I'll help, so stop pleading.

We're friends, so there's no need for that.

I said don't laugh.

Gosh, this is driving me insane.

I mean, how on earth does this even happen?

There was super glue on the table.

But I accidentally put my elbow on it. So what happens?

-The glue would come out, right? -Yeah.

I caught it quickly with my hands so it wouldn't drip.

And I ended up like this.

If these hands are ruined, you're out of a job.

You'll be unemployed.

I know, Jung-min. So please.

Amen, namaste, sawasdee krub. Seriously.

It's in this pocket.

My goodness.

It's not working. Face recognition.

Okay. Wait.

Darn it.

For crying out loud…

Damn typo.

I did it!

-My goodness. -Now, put it back.

Let me see.

But is an obstetrician right for this?

Of course.

Right, we have a specialist for this.

They're at our hospital now.

Which department? Dermatology?

Orthopedics? OEM?

Not those.

No, why can't you just do it instead?

I'll assist you.

Professor, please operate.

If you get in trouble, you should go to your hospital.

Why come here and make a fuss?

This is closer to my house.

We'll say that and not because you were embarrassed.

The specialist is here.

Who is it? Do I know them?

She's the best for this. An eminent physician.

Lee Ik-jun?

Weren't we meeting at the campsite? Why are you here?

And what's with your hands?

What did you do?

The glue…

I got it on my hands.

How?

You know your favorite camping lantern?

The handle fell off, so I was reattaching it…

For goodness' sake!

I told you to leave it.

Let me see. Does it hurt a lot?

What are we going to do with your hands?

But why are you here, Song-hwa?

I told you I was revising a paper today.

Chi-hong was taking a while with the data, so I came to help.

How did you know Song-hwa was here?

She told me she was coming by, so we had lunch and went up to the lab.

Then I got the call that you were in the ER.

Jung-min, what should we do?

Let's try warm saline first.

If it doesn't work, we'll call Orthopedics and cut them off.

Hey. Geez.

You sure have a lot on your hands.

Ik-jun.

Who's that?

Ik-jun!

Ik-jun!

Oh, my gosh. What happened?

Jung-min said you were in the ER.

I was so scared.

She just happened to be in the lab when they called.

How have you been,

Jun?

Good, of course.

Are you okay?

How did this happen?

Well, I was…

Hey.

Do you only see one person here?

Oh, my gosh! Song-hwa!

It's been so long!

How are you?

You've become even prettier.

Oh, stop.

Right? She gets prettier every day.

It's been forever, Gi-sun.

You haven't changed in three years.

Yeah, her looks and her skills are exactly the same.

Song-hwa, look. This is driving me crazy.

-It stings. -Does it sting a lot?

It does more than sting.

Wait, your hair.

Geez!

Stop worrying about me and worry about yourself.

What do we do?

-Don't try to force them apart. -I won't.

What's going on?

You didn't know?

Your first love is with Song-hwa as his last love.

It's been a while.

You didn't know?

Stop messing around.

Is that why…

No, I knew too, okay?

For now, you're banned from camping.

Here?

That hurts!

Maybe wipe the lipstick off your teeth first.

This won't work.

Damn it!

I won.

-I won. -Hey!

That's cheating if you hit like--

What? Oh, right.

-Did I hit too hard? -No, it's fine.

-I asked you to unstick them. -Sorry.

My goodness.

If the preceding surgery runs long, and you think mine will be delayed,

you need to look for another OR yourself.

If you can't even do that, why are you here?

What are you being paid for?

What?

Are you not interested because it's not OB?

Excuse me.

Or do you not need to do well because it's not OB?

You're not an OB-GYN.

I see. You're only here for OB, right?

Chief!

If you're going to scold her, please stick to the OR issue.

I think you can leave out

all the other useless comments.

Hold on.

Professor Ryu, who are you talking to--

Professor!

I'm talking to you, Professor.

If they make a mistake,

of course you should scold them.

But…

The location and content of the reprimand

still requires common courtesy.

Professor Ryu,

you're the one without common courtesy right now.

I mean, there's a reason why I do this. Okay?

I'm giving them training and discipline, man!

Who are you calling "man"?

Also,

asking questions like why she's getting paid

or assuming it's because it isn't OB

isn't training or discipline at all!

Dr. Kim Sa-bi

already understands what she did wrong.

I'm sure she does, right?

That's enough, Professor.

Fine.

I was going to stop anyway.

But why are you getting all upset?

You're spoiling the mood.

Goodness.

Okay, I'm sorry.

All right? I'm sorry.

There's nothing to see here.

You can get back to work, okay?

Dr. Kim.

Did you

get an apology?

I forgot to ask for that.

Professor!

He did.

I think I heard an apology.

Thank you.

That's a relief then.

I can't believe he did that to a senior doctor.

And in front of the juniors?

What the hell?

My apologies.

You're not hurt, are you? I'm a professor here.

So?

There's a lot of sick people here. You should be more careful.

Right. I'm sorry.

I… I didn't swear.

I don't yell in the hospital anymore or talk informally to anyone.

That's very good.

It's so nice to see you smiling around here.

When you smile, you show off an adorable side.

-Me? -Yes.

Where were you coming from?

From the ward.

Your mother's improved greatly.

Her lab results are good too.

It's thanks to you.

No, she's gotten better because you're smiling now.

All right, then.

Keep on smiling.

Yes, sir.

-Goodbye, sir! -Bye.

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

OB-GYN, OH JOO-YOUNG

Pyo Nam-kyung!

-Yes? -And Oh Yi-young.

Are you in a contest to see who's worse?

Both of you are behind on charting.

Yi-young.

Birth certificates, delivery discharges,

and tomorrow's discharge notes.

You haven't done any of them.

And Nam-kyung, you didn't write admission notes for next week's surgeries.

When are you going to assess patients in advance?

I'm sorry.

I'm going in for surgery.

Get that all done while I'm gone and show me before going home.

All right?

I'm going to check everything.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Hello?

What?

Yes, I'll tell the professor right away. Okay, bye.

Ma'am, please wake up.

Ma'am?

Hemoglobin's 6.6.

And her BP's dropping.

-Squeeze the blood harder. -Yes, sir.

Ma'am? Open your eyes.

Ma'am, what's your name? Ma'am.

Yulje EMS HL9697.

Six mile final, Yulje helipad.

CENTRAL EMC

Ma'am!

-We're moving. -Lift her!

-One, two, three! -We're moving.

One, two, three!

She delivered via precipitous labor two hours ago.

We did a balloon tamponade for PPH, but she keeps bleeding.

BP dropped to 70 over 40.

Now it's 90 over 60.

First unit given was universal O.

She had DDLT surgery seven years ago.

Ma'am! Please wake up! Ma'am!

Let's get her to the ER and secure a line first.

Then take her up to the OR.

Connect the monitors and check her vitals.

-Yes, sir. -Please bring the ultrasound.

Yes, Doctor.

-Placing a central line. -Okay.

Pyo Nam-kyung!

Pyo Nam-kyung!

Hey, Nam-kyung!

Yi-young.

We have to quickly…

I don't think I can do it.

I don't know.

There's no time for that.

She's bleeding!

Hey!

I said she's bleeding.

Right.

If there's bleeding, quickly recognize it…

Quickly…

-Place the line. -Okay.

I did the SPEED CP, so…

TIME-SENSITIVE PROTOCOL FOR MANAGING PPH

Nurse, please insert the Foley.

Then…

Right, mix oxytocin into the fluids.

-And give an IV push of carbetocin. -Yes, Doctor.

-Are the labs on their way? -Yes, they are.

Doctor, please set up the rapid infusion system.

Okay.

-Give the fluids at full drip. -Yes, Doctor.

It's open.

Nam-kyung.

Get it together!

I'm scared too!

Right.

Remove the balloon first.

The OR.

This is OB. Is the OR ready?

Please hurry! It's urgent!

-Nurse. -Yes?

I called the blood bank.

Get two packs of universal O first

-and send it straight to the OR. -Yes, Doctor!

-Hurry! -Okay!

Doctor, please place an A-line as well.

Okay.

EMERGENCY MEDICINE

-Doctor. -Yes?

The patient has a history of DDLT.

-What? -Oh, right.

We'll need the liver transplant team to help check the lab results,

but they're not here.

Give it to me. I'll take a look.

Here.

I'm an HPB surgeon from Songdo Yulje.

I'll take a look.

How long ago did she have the transplant?

It's been seven years.

And she gave birth two years ago.

Her liver enzymes are normal.

Use antibiotics general patients get, and she can go in for surgery now.

There might be some adhesion, so be careful.

Quickly, now.

-Thank you! -Thank you!

Moving her now.

Bed coming through! Please make way!

Ma'am, please wake up!

Please!

I'm so sleepy.

No, you can't sleep! Open your eyes!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

It's your baby's birthday today!

So the baby's waiting for its mom.

We have to go to it.

Right.

-Anesthesia, please. -Yes, Doctor.

The patient's a multi, right?

Yes, she is.

She delivered two and a half hours ago.

They said the baby's fine.

Bleeding volume?

I think it's been about 2,000 cc until now.

The speculum exam in the ER showed active bleeding.

How much blood did she get?

She got one unit in the helicopter, so a total of three so far.

We got two universal O units,

and we prepped ten RBC

and five units of FFP from the bank.

When will they be ready?

It'll take about 20 minutes.

Are the CBC and DIC labs back?

Yes, labs sent from the ER show CBC 6.2, and platelets 90,000.

OTPT is normal.

And they say PT and aPTT

seem to be prolonged.

The other DIC labs are still in progress.

Good job. You did very well!

Dr. Pyo, scrub in first!

I can't.

Then, Yi-young!

You're both assisting! Get it together!

The patient's--

Move aside, guys.

What about your surgery?

It's over.

Professor, the patient…

I know. I'm looking at her right now.

Hey, we have no one assisting today.

It appears we don't.

All we can count on is our team.

BP's dropping! It's 70 over 40!

We'll keep up with the volume, so don't worry and start.

Yes, we'll begin now.

ANESTHESIA TIME, SURGERY TIME

Kelly.

-One more Kelly. -Yes, ma'am.

Metzenbaum.

Prepare the 1-0 suture tie.

Tie.

Cut.

Tranexamic acid, please.

Yes, Professor.

Tonsil.

Right angle.

Hold the suction!

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

I was worried about severe adhesions from the transplant,

but things went smoothly.

I know. It's a relief.

What do you think?

She's not bleeding.

And?

The patient's…

alive.

The patient

can meet her baby.

No, not that!

Blood loss was 4,000 cc, but her vitals are stable.

Yes, that's right. It's stable.

The operation went really well.

Hey.

What?

Draft the surgery notes.

Why me? Ask the juniors.

They won't remember anything.

I barely managed to rouse them to come to their senses.

Then you write it!

You were there first.

The assistant is supposed to write it!

I was the lead surgeon.

I was in such shock that everything was a blur.

Hey, you've been doing this too long to still get shocked.

PPH is nothing new.

What about you?

Hey, I realized it when I saw your hands.

"So that's what it means to shake like a leaf."

If my hands were shaking, my sutures wouldn't be so perfect.

Perfect? Yeah, right.

Hey, you two.

Don't you think that's enough?

All you have to say is, "Thanks. Nice work."

"You did great."

But instead, you've been fighting and arguing for 20 years.

Gosh.

Gosh, I'm so sick of it.

I'm so tired of you two!

Gosh.

Nice work. Good job. Thanks. Happy?

Don't be ridiculous.

Gosh, I'm so sick of it.

Geez, those two.

Professor!

Oh, dear. Their surgery's over.

Sorry?

The emergency OB surgery.

It went well.

Where are you going? Not going home?

I'm coming into your surgery.

It's laparoscopic. Someone needs to control the manipulator.

I was going to put it in place first.

The fellow's running late.

That's what I was going to do.

I already told the fellow as well.

It's all right. Go home.

You had a long day.

It's okay. Go.

It's fine. I can do it fine alone too.

But really, I'm fine.

I'm fine too.

I'd like to see you operate.

Really?

Is that so?

Then do you want to try an RSO? What do you think?

Yes! Thank you!

Really?

Then we should…

Yes, Professor. The patient's stable.

I updated the air emergency team

and thanked them as well.

Yes, I'll monitor her closely.

Okay, bye.

Are you done?

Can we have some more time?

Doctor, it's not that we didn't do them. We couldn't.

Today, there was--

I know.

The patient asked me to thank her doctors for her.

The doctor who first spoke to her when she landed

and the doctor who mentioned her baby's birthday party.

That was you, right?

You did a really great job today.

I'm sure it was very scary, difficult, and chaotic.

So as a way to say you did well…

I'll do the rest.

What?

No? Then, go ahead.

No, that's not it.

I'll count to three. Go before I change my mind.

One…

-Bye! -Thank you!

See you there in two hours.

Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten all day.

Don't talk to me.

I'm so hungry I can't even walk.

Really?

Do you want this then? A nurse gave it to me.

Here.

There are only two.

I bet the others haven't eaten either.

Should we just…

eat these ourselves before we go?

Isn't that a bit selfish?

These are really famous.

They sell out daily, and you have to wait in line.

Still…

Did you see them fight yesterday?

Yeah.

We have to leave them alone.

They'll be too embarrassed to make up with us there.

Giving them space is to help them.

Really?

Then…

Should we?

Where should we eat?

Let's go there.

Oh, there?

Yeah.

I'm sure no one's there now. Let's go.

I haven't been here in so long. Gosh.

Maybe this isn't the way?

Yeah, it is.

If we turn left there and go straight, there are escalators.

We can take those down to the lobby.

Song-hwa, how do you know everything?

It says right there.

I didn't see it.

I was to busy looking at you.

But you know,

it's a bit scary being on the outpatient floor at night.

It's empty.

No.

There are people here.

Who?

There's no one here. What are you talking about?

Hey, don't do that!

It's not scary.

I'm sure there are roaches here.

Roaches?

Hospitals don't have roaches. No way.

No, not real roaches.

Dating roaches.

They have no time

and nowhere to meet.

But they still need to date.

So they only look for empty places in the hospital.

So where do they all go?

The emergency stairs? On-call rooms?

Gosh, only if you want to get caught.

Then where?

Here?

Exactly!

There are no appointments, patients, or staff here at night.

So they secretly have dates here.

But sometimes, professors come to get things they left behind.

Oh, no!

-When they enter and turn on the lights… -Yeah?

They scatter and disappear like roaches.

Where do they all go?

Well, they cling to the wall or hide behind the door.

Or they hide under the desk.

But

how do you know about this so well?

You've done a lot of hiding before?

What are you…

Hey, it was Jun-wan.

When he was a resident, he did it a lot. I heard it from him.

I wonder if anyone's here.

Hey, don't!

This isn't even our hospital.

Do you hear something?

I think I hear something.

What was that?

I think someone knocked.

I don't hear anything.

-No one's here. -Did you do that, Song-hwa?

You scared me.

Let's go.

I'll let you off today.

But I don't think young people these days would come here.

They all hold hands and get coffee together out in the open.

That's only the tip of the iceberg.

Gosh, Song-hwa.

You know how many date in secret here?

It's 520.

Hey, don't. What if someone's really in there?

See?

It's all in the past.

Gen Z doesn't do that these days.

I'm not sure about that.

Even last year, I caught a lot of them.

I guess there are no roaches here.

What should we have for dinner?

The guys want us to come quick for your discharge party.

-They want ramyeon. -Should we get some kimbap…

You told the guys?

Look, I really wasn't going to tell them.

But they kept asking where we were

and when we were coming back, and eventually--

That means everyone at the hospital knows.

I'm sorry.

I should've just gone to our hospital.

I came all the way to Jongno, and now everyone knows.

You're right.

But are you really okay now?

No, I'm not okay.

My hands are still burning hot from all that praying.

Do you feel the heat?

You could've gotten seriously hurt though.

Please be careful.

The guys are going to make so much fun of me.

Why did they leave this door open?

Shouldn't it be closed?

They're gone.

Geez, that was scary.

But,

why did we hide?

What?

Why did you tell me to hide?

It's not like we can't be here.

I told you to hide?

Yeah, you pushed me under the desk.

And you sat right next to me and shushed me.

I did?

Why did I do that?

Well, it was just in case…

in case they scolded us for not working.

But we're done.

Right.

Hey, even in a tense moment like that, you could remember and argue every detail.

Is it because you're smart?

Oh, right. My gown!

-Should I buy you some streusel bread? -Yeah.

THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUESTS, CHO JUNG-SEOK & JEON MI-DO,

OUR ETERNAL LEE IK-JUN & CHAE SONG-HWA

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

The two of you? Where?

What's this?

-You're so cute. -Dr. Ku?

I have something big to tell you!

Doctor, don't worry.

I may not seem like it, but I'm very loyal.

Hello. I'm Yi-young's friend, Pyo Nam-kyung.

-These days, Yi-young is… -Don't.

There you go again.

-Seong-chan. -Yesterday, he was your dad and you wept.

Today, he's your son?

What are you doing?

-You can't just touch that! -Yi-young!

Please, can't you just focus on the contractions?

-What? -No, she can't go!

The baby's umbilical cord is out!

You can just come up right now yourself!

-Quit staring! -Professor?

Do you remember my request?

Well, if that's what you want…

Yi-young, take the lead.

Oh, my God.

Do you think our age-old OB tradition will work on Yi-young too?

Where's Jae-il?

Why go there at night?

You're not dating.

Does Jae-il like you?

Are you two dating?

Does he really like me?
