EPISODE 11

Damn, why is it taking so long?

Our reservation's at 5:00 p.m. We still have an hour.

Why do you suddenly have to look at houses now?

I was planning to move near the hospital before starting my fellowship.

I mean,

we're so busy we barely see each other at home.

We always see each other at work.

Do you like me that much?

Yes. So what?

I like you a lot too.

Did you just say that?

Ever since we started dating,

did you know we've been really awkward and uncomfortable at home?

That's not true. It's been really comfortable and nice.

You don't wear your old, worn-out shirt anymore,

and you don't lie around on the sofa now.

You come out and wash after I go to bed.

Regardless of our siblings, it's right that I move out.

And if I find a house,

we get a place to be alone together.

Alone?

Just the two of us?

To do what?

That's not what I meant.

Let's sign the contract today and move in next week.

Geez, where is the real estate agent?

We've been waiting for hours.

I didn't mean to overhear.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm also a client.

He's out showing a house.

He won't be long.

I see. Thank you.

What were you looking for?

Well, a small apartment on jeonse or wolse lease.

Around 700 square feet or so?

-Yes. -I see.

In which neighborhood?

Pyeongbuk-dong…

Pyeongbuk-dong?

Where Jongno Yulje is?

Yes.

That neighborhood's really nice.

It has a lot of places to visit nearby too,

so there's no better place for newlyweds.

We're not newlyweds.

I'm sorry.

You two just look so good together,

so I just assumed.

I know that neighborhood well.

There's a place called the Melodium Apartments there.

It's a good location, and the landscaping's well done too.

Also, it's an "AWE."

An AWE?

"Apartment with an elementary school."

It's a great place for raising children.

Children?

Never mind the AWE.

And the land must have good energy too.

Everyone ends up better off after moving in.

Especially, Building 215.

The units face south, so they get a lot of sun.

And their structure makes them well-ventilated.

And it's on a great floor.

The 12th floor is in the middle. There's no noise between floors.

And the neighbors are so nice.

Plus,

it's cheaper than what's nearby.

About this much.

But if it's that good, why is it cheap?

The owner of the unit is nice, and…

They're in a hurry.

How about it? Want to go now? You can see it right away.

Are you?

Yes, I'm the owner. It's my house.

I knew it.

I watch the news too, okay?

I'm not that kind of person!

I know we just met, so I'm sorry to say this,

but I was a victim.

Yes, a victim of jeonse fraud.

I suffered so much because of that back then.

Seriously, my wife was so--

I assume she was very ill.

So, she had to go to the hospital and have surgery.

How did you know?

It's the same story used by the scammers I saw on the news.

After I was scammed,

I was so scared of jeonse leases

I took out a loan to pay for all of my house.

I'll show you the title deed myself.

I have no debts attached to it.

I'll show you my ID,

and I'm going to get jeonse guarantee insurance.

Wait a second. Wait!

I'm really not a scammer.

My home really is that nice, so--

Please stop. Or I'll bite.

No!

She really will.

We have things to do, so…

Let's at least clear things up before you go!

Seriously?

Calm down.

All right.

How in the world do I seem like a scammer?

I look like a saint.

Sir.

Hey. It was a long wait, wasn't it? I'm sorry.

No one's coming to see my house.

I really have to move.

Gosh, it's not something I can control.

It's already been three months since I put it on the market.

We have to move before my second child is born.

All right. Just wait.

Come on. Please, sir.

What's wrong with you?

We almost got scammed earlier.

I'm eating out of shock.

Right. You have to eat a lot after being shocked.

You have to calm yourself down.

Eat up.

Okay.

What's this?

What did you get on your hand?

Gosh, your hands are so messy. Geez.

There. It's all clean.

My ring finger's a size ten.

My fingers are thinner than you think.

So stop that and just eat. Now.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You had something on your finger, so I really wiped it for you.

Was that for buying couple rings?

As a surprise?

What? No!

Why measure my finger suddenly then?

And why secretly?

Can't you just pretend not to know?

I have something for you.

Ta-da.

What is this?

These are nice!

How did you know my size?

I just knew without having to measure.

But how?

We use the same shoe cabinet.

Right.

Try them on.

What's this?

-Dad! -Honey!

-What's wrong? -Dad!

Someone help!

Honey!

What's wrong? Is something caught in your throat?

-The meat. -Meat.

He was eating meat and suddenly…

-Dad! -Call an ambulance! Hurry!

Grab onto him.

Sir, can you hear me?

Sir!

-Maintain his airway. -Okay.

An ambulance is on the way.

-A spoon, please. -Spoon…

Wait.

We have ROSC.

Sir, can you hear me?

The ambulance will arrive soon to take you to the hospital.

You'll be all right. Don't worry.

It's here!

Over here!

Honey. Are you okay?

Thank you.

This way! Here!

Thank goodness.

He's okay! What a relief!

Thank goodness it came quickly.

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

I told you to get another hour of sleep.

We have no time to meet this week.

So we have to go to work together.

Do you have time for coffee?

At around 6:15 a.m.

You washed your face, right?

I couldn't. I can do it here.

You're so cute.

Excuse me.

Yes?

May I ask which floor outpatient care is on?

Oh, it's…

It's on the second floor.

You can take the elevator there.

Okay, thank you.

I'm Lee Chae-ryeong. I'm the new nurse assigned to the delivery room.

It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you too.

If you have any questions, you can ask our first-year residents.

Yes, you can ask us anything.

Like the hospital layout or people's names,

I'll tell you all I know.

Thank you.

I did come early to have a look around,

but I think I'll get lost a lot.

How early did you come in for work?

Gosh, you're so diligent.

I'll be even more diligent and work hard.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Let's grab a bite soon.

-Sure. -See you later.

-It's nice to meet you. -Let's get lunch later.

It's nice to see you again, Doctor.

Yes, me too.

Don't worry about earlier.

It's a secret, right?

Yes, for now.

Right.

I was so shocked earlier and couldn't tell you, but--

I heard the new nurse is here?

Hello, I'm Lee Chae-ryeong.

It's nice to meet you.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

I got some coffee.

Thank you.

I should…

Have a nice day.

Hello, Doctor.

What is it? Where are you going?

I heard the new nurse was here.

She's at the station. Go say hi.

Okay. But where are you going?

Outpatient care.

Outpatient care?

Alone?

Yeah. Who would I go with?

I know, right?

I mean, it just seems like

you've been going there day and night these days.

I was wondering if something nice was going on there.

What are you talking about?

Doctor, don't worry.

I may not seem like it,

but I'm very loyal.

What's with him?

Does he…

Did you hear about Prof. Seo?

The intern she put her time into refused to shake her hand.

She must've been rejected.

Tak Gi-on?

Yeah.

The okay ones seem to have already chosen their departments.

Dong-eun's long gone too.

So Gi-on's the only one we can hope for.

I don't think he's interested in OB-GYN.

And I'm not sure if he's even that good at the job.

But he is. Prof. Geum told us at the team dinner.

The intern on rotation for two months was better than the first-years…

is something that can't be true.

But…

Maybe she said it was nice?

What did she say?

Right.

But, Doctor,

what if no one joins OB-GYN next year?

What do you think?

We'll be screwed.

Remember Pediatrics?

That could be us.

Our workload would double,

and our days without sleep would quadruple.

Basically, your second year would be doomed.

Wait, do you mean

if we have no first-years, we'd have to do all the work?

That's right.

That's ridiculous. That's not fair.

So, I wanted to tell you

we should bring Tak Gi-on to our team.

Let's try to persuade him, okay?

INTERN TAK GI-ON

Okay.

I'll try to persuade him.

Hello? Hi, Dr. Tak.

-How does it feel here? -It's okay.

-And here? -That's a bit--

Excuse me.

Is the patient with menstrual cramps here?

Yes.

Hello.

Are you in a lot of pain, ma'am?

Yes.

She's been on painkillers since yesterday afternoon,

but she says the pain has worsened.

She's experiencing cramps,

but it's not like the feeling of diarrhea.

An unlike gastrospasms, there's no pain in the upper abdomen.

Also, it feels as if her lower abdomen will give out,

but she says it's not like a contusion.

I see.

Ma'am, is it an irritating ache in the lower belly,

like your organs are being squeezed, right?

Yes, that's right.

A heavy, twisting pain in the lower belly

that spreads out making it hard to even sit?

Yes.

I'm in so much pain

that I can't do anything right now.

I have severe menstrual pain too, so I know.

Have you been bleeding more than usual?

It was particularly heavy this time, so it got on my clothes…

I had to use an overnight pad the first day.

It could be due to endometriosis or adenomyosis,

so we'll do an ultrasound.

Okay.

They're just menstrual cramps, so I prescribed painkillers.

She can be discharged after resting a bit.

Okay. Thank you.

Even female doctors who don't experience bad menstrual pain

don't really get how it hurts.

Some wonder why people even come to the hospital,

because theirs are never that bad.

But some male doctors say you can tell without having to experience it.

They figure it must really hurt if people come to the ER early in the morning.

They say it must be so hard to go through that every month.

Sometimes, it seemed like those who don't know

could understand and empathize better.

Maybe that's why

the male doctors in our department are much more liked.

The mothers and patients love Jae-il the most.

And Prof. Ryu Jae-hui is the superstar of our hospital.

So what I mean is

I hope you don't think OB-GYN isn't for you

just because you're a guy.

Doctor?

Yes?

I'm not thinking about anything right now.

I'm totally fine.

It's not a subject I'm too interested in.

Is that so?

Thank you.

Sure.

Damn. I had a speech prepared.

Gosh.

Sorry, I'm still a first-year resident.

The EBW's 3,200.

Amniotic fluid levels are fine.

The umbilical artery Doppler looks good too.

I'm also scheduled to have a detailed brain ultrasound today.

Gosh, it's taking too long.

I don't have much experience with the brain yet.

I'll look at a bit more and tell you. I'm sorry.

That…

That square thing is the CSP.

You need to measure from where the CSP is visible.

Yes, I know that too, but…

Where the atrium's at its largest

and when the borders look clear,

that's when you should measure.

Keep it straight and try again.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, Yi-young.

You still take forever to read an ultrasound.

ULTRASOUND ROOM 5

You struggled more than last week.

I'm sorry, Professor.

Like in my case… I mean,

when they're almost due like patient Geum Sae-byeok,

even lying down to get in position is tough.

Precision and speed is crucial. Okay?

Yes, Professor.

Thank you, ma'am.

But getting the right angle is harder than you expect.

You have to get the angle as soon as the probe touches the abdomen.

But that takes more than practicing a few times.

Let's try again tomorrow.

Let's get it down to three minutes tomorrow.

Again? Tomorrow?

What? You don't want to?

I'm lending you my body to teach you, but you don't want to?

No, I do. It sounds good.

Right?

-See you tomorrow. -Goodbye, ma'am.

I'm coming now.

Don't eat! Wait for me. I said I'm coming!

You said you'd be quick. What took you so long?

I was about to keel over from hunger.

Weren't ultrasounds done a while ago?

They were, but then…

Did you know Prof. Seo had a junior?

Yeah. Her daughter's in middle school, and I think her son's nine.

No, not that kind of junior.

You mean Prof. Geum, right?

Yeah. She's due next week, but she won't rest.

She's worse than Seo.

It's her first year as a professor. She's full of passion.

Whatever it may be, overdoing anything's not good.

People should know when to stop.

I know. I don't want to learn, but she insists on teaching me.

You're so unlucky.

How did you get an OB prof?

She's a patient but also your superior and professor.

If you do her sutures wrong, you'll hear about it for four years.

Damn it.

This is so annoying.

Sounds like a headache, Yi-young.

But this is really good.

It tasted better last time.

You've had this before?

Yeah, with Jae-il last time.

The two of you? Why?

Where?

Wait, does Jae-il like you?

Are you two dating?

This again?

It's not like that.

You two were fighting, so he said to give you space,

and we went to outpatient care to eat.

Still, though.

Why go there at night? You're not dating.

There's no one there at night.

No, there are people. Jae-il said he saw.

He did?

Who?

I don't know.

I didn't ask.

Where's Jae-il?

He's going to sleep after surgery.

He hasn't slept in days.

MEDICAL ATTIRE RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT INFECTIONS

GUARDIAN WAITING ROOM

Help!

Someone help!

Help.

You know how sometimes after laparoscopic surgery,

patients say their legs feel numb or even paralyzed?

It's totally true.

I still can't feel my leg.

You had breakfast, coffee, and went to the convenience store.

Since we're done, I can go now, right?

Wait.

Could you give me my lab coat?

Hey!

I need those pens.

That should do it, right? I'm going.

Sa-bi, when will you be back?

Around lunchtime?

Or at 4:00 p.m. after surgery?

I won't be back.

Then what about lunch?

You figure it out.

I'm not eating today.

I'm not good at using the wheelchair yet.

I can't go to the cafeteria alone.

All the patients manage fine on their own.

Hey, come on.

Fine! I'll call you after surgery.

You have to come. I'll be waiting.

I said fine!

Jae-il, you're so annoying!

Bye!

You scared me!

We need to check on Ms. Ku Yun-ja, right?

Yes.

There's nothing much to be happy about today.

But you're in a good mood.

No, I'm not.

I feel so much pain and embarrassment right now,

I can't even lift my face.

Let's go.

How did you get hurt at a hospital?

Don't worry about me. I'll bounce right back.

After getting anti-cancer treatment for a while,

your hands and feet might start to peel like this.

I'll prescribe you some ointment.

Okay.

By the way,

the others in my ward who I used to get anti-cancer treatment with…

Maybe their schedules didn't work out this time?

Starting from this round,

maybe they're going to a different hospital.

You're a terrible liar.

I heard they're all gone.

Yes.

So you've heard.

Suk-ja sat over there, and I heard she passed last month.

And Geun-yeong from Namyangju

passed after receiving anti-cancer treatment.

Yes.

She developed acute sepsis.

When I saw her last,

she smiled brightly and waved at me.

I knew her time was coming.

But the size of your tumor has gotten much smaller.

This drug is working well.

Really?

You're not lying to me just to make me feel better, right?

Of course not.

Why would I lie for no--

You're weak because you haven't eaten!

I'm going to rot away when I'm dead anyway.

Why do you keep telling me to eat?

They're fighting again.

You should go.

Who else is going to stop them?

All right.

You have to eat to continue the treatment.

It doesn't sit in my stomach well.

I can't force it down because you tell me to.

My goodness.

Hello.

What's the issue today?

You don't eat, so that's why your illness came back.

That's why I said to just leave me to die.

I've had to hear that

for over ten years!

If you want to go that badly,

don't make your own sister suffer from taking care of you!

Ma'am, are you having trouble eating?

She's refused food since yesterday.

They say she has to eat to be treated.

But she won't listen to me.

Ma'am, you have to eat well.

We switched your meals to porridge to make it easier to eat.

You should eat well to start treatment

so you can get well soon and go home.

Yes, I have to go home.

Seong-chan.

Don't worry about me, son.

You didn't have to bring all these things here to the hospital.

I'm sure you're busy with school as it is.

There you go again.

Yesterday, he was your dad and you wept.

Today, he's your son?

Your son Seong-chan

was cared by his mother for ten years before he passed.

Did you forget?

You awful brat.

Don't say that in front of him.

You're an adult in your fifties. Don't say that to your nephew.

Listen,

I turned 70 a while ago. Okay?

Geez, the old woman's completely lost her mind.

But you know why your aunt's being like this, right?

She's out of it.

Yes, of course.

Please eat your porridge today…

Mother.

Thank you for helping with the surgery, Professor.

Maybe I overdid it yesterday. My stomach feels a bit tight.

I only did the fundal.

-But are you okay? -Yes.

I don't think so.

She's had pain all morning,

and she doesn't look so great.

I think she's in labor for real,

but she insists it's false labor and keeps working.

Wow, Yi-young,

spoken like her attending doctor.

Yes, but she won't listen to her doctor.

All right, Dr. Oh.

We did a study last time, right?

False labor can sometimes be as regular as true labor.

But it's fading on its own right now.

This is false labor.

So you can still work a bit more?

Yes, I have a pile of things to get through right now.

Next Wednesday is my due date,

but I'm not sure if I can finish by then.

Since you're always like this,

this is why people keep asking

if we're sisters.

Really?

That's a total compliment for me.

You don't need to worry about me.

I've handled so many deliveries in my career.

You know?

"Oh, the cervix is about to open."

"If I start pushing now, the baby will be out in ten minutes."

I know everything. Really.

The VD simulation is over.

You think delivering a patient's baby is the same as having your own?

I'm telling you. Come see for yourself next week.

You'll only have to cut the cord when you arrive,

because I'll have the baby out and waiting.

-Fine, so just get some rest now. -Okay.

You better not let your water break in the OR

and have to be dragged to the delivery room.

What kind of person would do that?

What kind? The kind who's been here this whole time.

That's so cool.

You're so cool!

-Call me if you need help. -I will.

Nice work.

Bye.

Thank you, Professor.

Are you okay?

Should I call Prof. Seo back?

No.

At this rate,

my due date might come earlier.

By about a day at best.

You know that?

Of course.

I've been doing this for years. I just know.

This is killing me.

Yes, Professor?

BP? All of a sudden? And the baby?

There aren't any?

Yes, I'll be right there.

A surgery just came in.

Again?

You must be so tired.

No, I'm just assisting. It's okay.

I see. Assisting.

Good luck then.

Where are you going?

I'm going to eat.

They don't have a second assistant, so I said you'd come too.

Me?

-Me too? -Yeah.

Shall we?

It's urgent.

Gosh, my back.

It's fine.

I'm fine.

Thanks.

You're writing a death certificate.

Yes.

Do you know why I chose OB-GYN?

Instead of death certificates,

I wanted to write birth certificates.

And the only place in the hospital

where people celebrate and are happy about crying

is OB-GYN.

It's where a lot of great things happen.

That's what I'm trying to say.

Doctor.

Yes?

Up until today, I've written only four death certificates.

And two were from GYN.

Is that so?

One patient had late-stage cancer

and passed after just a few chemo sessions.

The other was my age. Her ovarian cancer recurred.

When that happened,

I really cried a lot.

I see. That was GYN.

I have to check on a patient.

Have a nice day.

All right.

See you.

He's smarter than I thought.

Aren't sisters usually close though?

I have a brother.

Ask Yi-young about sisters.

The patient in Room 1014 and her sister

lived together their whole lives,

but they fight so intensely,

saying the other should die first.

After taking care of her sister for so long,

the younger one seems exhausted.

She's always very irritable.

The saying, "Long-term illnesses will wear anyone down," seems so sad.

You can go by yourself from here, right?

I'm leaving.

Take me just up to the ward.

My arms hurt so much from pushing this thing.

But I looked into it,

and that kind of nerve compression clears in two hours.

That's a lie.

I still can't move it.

So I was thinking,

can't we clock out together?

-I'm going to read papers before I leave. -Really?

Really? I will too. Let's do it together.

Actually, I'm going to review surgery recordings instead.

I was going to do that too.

Want to watch together?

Hey, do you…

Ouch, that's hot!

I can walk.

Look. I wonder when it got better.

This is amazing.

I forgot I have to go to the ward.

I'm late.

Can you return that for me?

Bye!

Does he really like me?

This isn't a bad thing.

What's so good about that bed?

Hello.

Is something the matter?

Doctor.

Why does she have to move next to the door?

I already told her.

Well,

the bed remote and call bell are broken.

So until we can get the bed fixed,

the facilities team asked us to move.

Can't she just use it?

I don't want her to move.

There might not be a window there,

but we can come quicker to check her,

it's closer to the bathroom, and has many more benefits.

My back's about to break from taking care of her.

I can't move this old woman on my own.

I will help you with that.

My leg's all better now too.

I've been in hospitals for a long time,

but this is a first.

Can we just--

Gosh, you talk too much, Mi-yeong.

Just listen and do what he says, will you?

Your brother-in-law's always done the best for me.

I've told you repeatedly

he is the head of our household.

He takes Father's place.

A drunkard who led our family to ruin? Head of the household, my foot.

How can you still call him your husband?

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I should have married her off

and sent her away.

But what can I do?

She's my only family.

I hope you understand, dear.

I'll talk to her.

It's fine…

My… dear.

Thank you, dear.

This.

And this.

-That's enough. -And this.

This.

-Can you eat all of this? -Go.

What?

But I'm not good at grilling.

It's okay. It's impossible to ruin the meat here.

Do-won said he'd come, but left me on read.

He's in surgery.

He's on call and has a string of surgeries.

Right, he didn't even have lunch.

I bet he can't have dinner too.

What?

Since when did you care so much about him eating?

I know. And now that I think about it,

last weekend, you insisted on bringing him his socks and underwear yourself.

By any chance…

Did you borrow money from him?

Are those new clothes?

No. I've had this for a while.

How much did you borrow?

This isn't the first time, right?

Are you serious?

Here's your beer.

Thank you.

Answer me.

I said I didn't.

Instead of blaming the innocent, just drink your beer.

You're telling the truth, right?

You better not ask him for money or else.

Gosh, how long has it been since you had beer?

Six months.

We're skipping the procedure this month,

so I'm going to chug all the beer I want.

That hits the spot.

I'm so happy.

How did you manage without beer for six months?

If only I could get pregnant,

I'd quit drinking beer forever.

But I'm not, so I have to keep drinking.

I think one won't be enough.

Excuse me! Could we have--

-Are you okay? I'm sorry. -Excuse me.

Yi-young?

What are you doing here?

I'm eating out. You?

Me? I'm…

Hello.

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

Oh, my. You're her friend?

We're not friends.

See you tomorrow.

It's hot.

Don't talk about Do-won.

I hope I'm not cluelessly imposing on a family dinner.

You are.

I was supposed to meet a friend here,

but they suddenly said they couldn't make it.

I didn't want to eat here alone

and was just about to leave.

Thank you so much.

We're the ones who are grateful.

I've never had a meal with a friend of Yi-young's before.

It's so nice.

I said we're not friends.

Yi-young and I went to the same high school.

And we ended up at the same hospital.

How cool is that?

Wow, you two go way back!

Please take good care of my sister-in-law.

She's such a mess, so I worry about her.

Is she doing okay?

These days, Yi-young is…

Don't.

The professors praise her for her accurate exams.

And of all the first-years,

she's the fastest ultrasound reader.

Really?

But the thing is

she can never hold back what she wants to say.

And if you ask her to do something she dislikes,

her face turns so sour.

So she's adjusted well to the work,

but she's a bit lacking in social skills.

Still, I thought she'd be bad at both. So it's such a relief.

Great job, Yi-young.

That's more than what we expected.

Please look out for her.

If she gets fired again, she has nowhere to go.

Yes, I'll take good care of her.

Don't worry, Joo-young.

Since when were you two such close friends? Geez.

Yeah, eat up.

-Thank you. -She said "Joo-young."

She's a good eater.

That's so nice to see.

Wait.

You look a lot like someone I know.

Doesn't he look so similar?

What? I don't know.

I mean, his…

He has the same eyes and mouth!

Oh, my! Who was it?

He's…

Professor Jo Joon-mo!

If I didn't know, I'd totally think they were brothers.

You look so much like him.

He must be really handsome then.

They're not similar at all.

We're all done, so get up.

Really? Let me get some more of this.

No, let's go home.

Can I just have one more plate?

You ate everything! Don't you have work?

-What's with you? -I'll only be ten minutes.

Ten minutes, my foot. Put it down.

-Fine, eat. -Yes.

Hey, Jae-il.

Hi.

Aren't you buying coffee?

No, I was just passing by.

I see. Wait.

I have something to tell you.

Well--

Dr. Kim's sending thank you gifts for the wedding.

It's food, so they'll be sent to our homes.

Can you collect the professors' addresses?

I'll do from the fellows to the first-years.

Okay.

And…

What now?

I looked into it,

and sudden leg paralysis has no aftereffects.

I did feel some pain yesterday.

But it feels totally fine today.

It looked fine yesterday too.

You said it was numb and weak,

but you sprang up and ran.

-When did I ever run? -You did.

I walked slowly.

No, I tried to follow with the wheelchair, but you were so fast I couldn't.

Gosh, you and your blasted memory.

I don't know why I did that either, okay?

Can you just forget it and let it go?

You're making me awkward by poking and prying.

I was just worried you might be in pain.

Worried?

Yeah.

But you still fuss.

Were you really worried?

You kept worrying?

Doctor.

Prof. Geum's baby…

Hey.

Hello.

Professor.

Why didn't you call me? I can do that for you.

I needed to use the bathroom.

I can put on NST monitors.

I can do it in my sleep.

I flashed on the monitor, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

It's okay as long as you're fine.

How's the pain?

The same as when I was admitted.

Contractions are regular at five to seven-minute intervals.

Are you in pain? Where?

Do you want the epidural now?

No.

Let's do another exam and then decide.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm still at 2.0, right?

Yes, your pelvic exam shows a 2.0,

and station is high.

I was admitted two hours ago,

but there's no change in contractions or the cervix.

So let's wait a bit longer for the epidural.

But if it hurts a lot, do you want some painkillers?

I have to bear it for it to open.

In three hours, we can check again,

and decide on the oxytocin then.

Okay.

If the pain's too much, please call me.

I'm fine.

Use your time to check on other patients instead.

You know Ms. Joo Ha-na on POD 2?

Her CBC results are out, so can you check and tell me?

I couldn't check because I was suddenly admitted.

You can't check patients in this state.

So you don't want to?

It's not that…

I guess I should go check it myself then.

-Can you undo this? -No!

No.

I'll check and update you.

-Yeah? -Yes.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Oh.

Go and check.

Go on.

Stop eating!

Why are you eating so much all of a sudden?

You complained like hell about not eating before.

Now, you're complaining like hell about eating too much?

I'm worried you might get indigestion again!

They have medication for that.

After I eat, I'm taking a lap around the ward.

You're going to walk? You have the strength to do so?

Of course.

Hello.

The doctor's here.

I'm here to receive your consent.

You finished all your food today.

You look nice today, Doctor.

Did something good happen?

Am I the handsome Jae-il today, ma'am?

Hold on. What's suddenly gotten into her?

She's eating well, and she's lucid.

I don't know where she got the strength.

She wants to go exercise.

It's because she received an albumin injection,

and her condition's much better now.

Her numbers look good too.

Just yesterday, she said she was dying.

Why is she suddenly so energetic today?

What good would that do?

But

that's good news.

Why are you upset, ma'am?

No, it's not that…

It's nothing.

If she's more energetic, she'll do better when receiving treatment

and recover faster.

But what brings you here?

We'll administer an anti-cancer drug later,

but as I explained before, we changed it to a new drug.

So you need to sign a new consent form.

Should I explain it again?

Gosh, I know everything.

Here you go.

I'm sick of hearing that explanation.

Thank you.

She was sent to the ER just now.

She's not our patient,

she has ROM with labor, but it's mild.

-So it's not a super emergency. -No.

-Tak Gi-on's there, right? -Yes.

Let's be calm and steady with him. Okay?

Like it's no big deal.

-So we seem free and graceful. -Right.

Don't forget. Gi-on is watching.

Okay, I won't.

Let's go.

RESTRICTED AREA

Excuse me.

-Hello. -Ma'am, could you lift your legs?

Ma'am, I'm just going to check to see if your water did break.

It may feel slightly uncomfortable.

It must have been a shock.

Just leave it to us and relax.

Both you and the baby will be fine.

I put a line in, and I requested a CBC and blood chemistry.

And the patient would like to go to her hospital--

No, she can't go! She can't!

The baby's umbilical cord is out!

What?

Call the professor! It's urgent!

She needs to go to the OR now!

-The transport driver. -What?

-Call them now! Hurry! -Okay!

Ma'am, the umbilical cord has fallen out,

so we have to go into surgery now.

Could you please come to the ER?

Anesthesiology? We're bringing her up now.

It's an emergency.

We don't like it any more than you do!

Pediatrics? We need to deliver a baby now.

You can just come up right now yourself!

Hurry!

What are you doing? Quit staring!

-Call the guardian and get consent now! -Yes, ma'am!

Are you okay, ma'am?

Hang in there, ma'am.

-We're going to move. -I'll take a look. It's okay.

Cervix is at 5.0. There's been no change for two hours.

Station's still at zero.

As you prescribed, starting oxytocin at 15.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Dr. Oh, my request…

What?

Later, in the delivery room,

have the interns observe.

-I know. I won't forget. -Especially…

those who haven't seen a delivery yet.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Wait! Make sure you set everything up,

so they can see up close.

That isn't what's important right now.

Right from the incision,

so they can properly see from the beginning…

Professor!

I have a request too.

Please…

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

What?

What did you say?

I'll see you after I deliver.

Son of a…

Hello.

We're going to administer the drug now.

Now?

She's asleep.

I'll be back a bit later then.

I'll return in about 30 minutes.

That…

What's wrong with that?

Why is it red?

Pardon?

No, you can't!

Don't give my sister that medicine!

Give her a clear one instead.

Like the one before.

Not that one!

But it's the drug I explained to you last time.

Mi-ja!

Goodness, Mi-ja!

You said you wouldn't die!

You said you wanted to stay with me!

Our parents are gone, and I have no husband.

If you leave me too,

I really will be alone!

Mi-ja! I'll be an orphan!

Don't leave me, Mi-ja!

Don't die, Mi-ja!

Mi-ja!

Mi-ja!

Mi-ja!

Mi-ja!

Mi-ja.

Here.

Just be straight with me.

I'm fine.

Well, I'm not sure what you want me to be straight about.

I know everything.

My sister…

is dying.

Sorry?

That's why you put her near the door,

so you can quickly check to see if she's dead or not.

That's why she moved.

And did you see earlier?

She's lucid and eating again.

Before people die,

they use up their last bit of strength.

That's why they eat and walk like normal.

It's not that though.

Then what about that red drug?

Red?

The anti-cancer drug?

That's what you give when someone's about to die.

You give it to a hopeless patient,

so they can hold on for a few more days.

You think I wouldn't know?

They said that's how they all passed!

At the bed by the door,

they became fully lucid and received that red drug.

That's how they all died.

That's not true.

It really isn't.

The bed really was broken.

They're fixing it tonight, so you'll see.

And she's eating well,

because we drained the fluid from her abdomen

and adjusted her albumin.

So her condition just improved greatly.

And that red drug

is used for recurrence, so it's different from the other one.

It's not for dying patients or anything like that.

Really?

You're not just lying in case I faint from shock?

Why would I lie to you, ma'am?

But

where did you hear all that nonsense?

That lady there.

She said her friends all left like that.

And she said my sister would die soon too.

Oh, my God!

What are you doing?

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

Don't turn it on.

Turn the oxytocin off.

Turn it off, damn it!

What? You prescribed this yourself.

I don't know.

The epidural's not working at all right now.

Not at all.

But these contractions need oxytocin.

No!

I'll be on call today.

And then, I'll make the prescriptions.

So turn the oxytocin off.

Turn it off now!

Okay, I will.

Yi-young.

Get me an OR.

But, Professor, I think you can wait a bit longer.

No! I need surgery now!

There's no change in the cervix at all.

Let's just do the surgery, okay?

Okay, Professor.

I'll notify Professor Seo.

No, I gave the order just now!

Forget that and just get the OR.

Anesthesiology!

Are you in pain, ma'am? Oh, dear, it must be awful.

She's our professor…

Ma'am, are you in a lot of pain? You can't bear it?

Who are you?

I'm a new nurse here. It's okay, ma'am.

Take a deep breath.

You must have been in so much pain.

The painkillers didn't work, so it must really hurt.

It's okay. You're doing so well right now, Ms. Geum.

The other mothers were crying and yelling,

but you're doing so well.

Doctor, an OR, please.

Nurse, I don't think I can do it.

-It hurts, doesn't it? -It's so…

It hurts so much. I had no idea it would!

Anesthesiology? Is there a free OR?

Make sure to check on the patient.

Yes, ma'am.

Still, it's a relief.

The baby's saturation went up quick,

and the mother didn't bleed much.

Yeah, it was a relief.

Tak Gi-on!

He saw everything, right?

I think we were screaming like animals earlier.

Right?

No wonder my throat's sore.

Gosh, next year's going to be a tough one.

I'll find out if there's another intern we can persuade.

Okay, let's find one.

I'm sure we'll find one.

Hey, Gi-on!

Hey, what are you doing? I've been calling you.

I'm looking something up.

The patient with the prolapsed cord earlier?

Yeah.

Holy cow.

The baby and mother are fine.

They must be in their room already.

When I saw the OB doctors screaming earlier,

I thought the patient was dying.

Man, OB is so scary.

Really?

I thought it was pretty awesome.

-See you later. -Bye.

-Yi-young? -Yes?

When the uterine incision is made,

that's the most important part.

She says to come closer to watch without getting contaminated.

-Yes, Doctor. -Yes, Doctor.

Thanks, Dr. Oh.

Ma'am.

Don't worry about anything else now,

and just focus on the baby. You're a mother now, not a professor.

Yes, Professor.

Let's get started.

Excuse me, Professor?

Do you remember my request?

You have to do it for me, okay?

You really want to go through with it?

Yes.

Well, if that's what you want…

Then that's what we'll do.

Do you need something?

No.

We have a lot of eyes observing today. I want you to stay focused.

Yes, ma'am.

Scalpel.

ANESTHESIA TIME, SURGERY TIME

ANESTHESIA TIME, CURRENT TIME, SURGERY TIME

SURGERY TIME

The baby's coming out.

It's out!

Hi!

It's 4:15 p.m., and it's a baby girl.

Ma'am,

the baby's healthy.

She's so beautiful.

Thank you, Professor.

Now, we'll deliver the placenta and close up.

You may feel some discomfort.

Yi-young, I need you to do something for me today.

It was Professor Geum's wish

for a first-year resident to close her up.

What?

Didn't you hear earlier?

That was her last request.

Oh, my God.

There's no bleeding, and the baby's healthy.

We just need you to wrap things up now.

I'm okay.

I mean, I think it'll be good if I don't do it.

That's what I thought you'd say, so I'm telling you now.

We don't have time.

Not everyone gets a chance like this, Dr. Oh.

I'm fine. Really.

I'm scared. What if I mess up?

Don't mess up then. We'll be watching.

Just do as you've learned.

Don't worry.

Yi-young, take the lead.

You'll have to do it someday.

Aren't you here to be a doctor? You can't be scared forever.

Make a good edge,

and you know you have to avoid the endometrium to not damage it

when you suture, right?

I'll do my best to assist you.

Don't worry and take the lead.

Get started.

Do-won, tie up where the incision starts.

Yes, ma'am.

Lift the thread up higher and pull.

There you go. You're doing well.

Dr. Oh, what should I do?

Please pull a little harder.

Yes, Doctor.

Doctor.

Yes? Are you all right?

Did I do that again?

Did I get confused and say nonsense?

No, ma'am.

You just

briefly visited a few times with some people you'd been missing.

Then, right now, I guess I wanted to see you.

Doctor.

While I'm still lucid,

I'd like to ask you for just one favor.

Would you be able to do that for me?

What is it?

No matter how much I say no, you never listen, do you?

Did you secretly find out when you're going to die?

You always ask to take a funeral photo. What's so good about it?

Gosh, you're so stubborn.

It's my last goodbye to everyone.

So it's better to take it while looking as young and beautiful as possible.

Beautiful? You're all old now.

Since when did we become this old?

You've become older than Mom, Mi-ja.

That's because Mom passed when she was 50.

But you're…

My little sister is so beautiful.

You are.

I'm not!

I'm 75 years old.

Still, my little sister will forever be beautiful in my eyes.

You will.

Let's hurry and take the photo!

The doctor's busy too.

Ma'am!

You and the background. Everything looks perfect.

Where did you get a camera?

From my bag. It has everything.

Okay, here we go!

Please look here.

One, two, three!

Wah-wah!

It looks nice.

I'll get this developed and give it to you at the next treatment.

Okay, thank you.

Would you like one together?

Forget it. We're too old for pictures.

This is a good camera though.

No, thanks.

Come on, let's take a picture. Just one. Please?

I said it's okay.

Come on, right now!

I have a lot of work to get to.

-I have to go soon. Hurry. -Goodness…

How lovely.

You two look like young ladies.

All right. Just relax and smile!

Here I go!

Let's take one more.

Okay.

One, two, three.

She said she'd deliver her own baby.

She underestimated the pain.

Do you know how much it hurts?

It's not like delivering a patient's baby.

By the way, do you think our age-old OB tradition

will work on Yi-young too?

"The OB professor's doctor sticks with OB."

You've never heard that before?

I have.

When my professor gave birth, I was her doctor.

Sae-byeok was my doctor when I had Seok-hun.

-When you had your second child? -Yeah.

We both considered joining GYN,

but at our professors' deliveries,

we sutured for the first time ever and joined OB.

I wonder if this tradition will work again or not.

Instead of tradition,

I think food or sleep would work on her more.

Really?

Then, to congratulate and persuade her,

should we take her out to eat something good?

Do you think she'll be able to eat today?

Right.

She took the lead for the first time.

She sutured the uterus and closed up the patient on her own.

Her heart's probably still pounding,

so she can't even drink water.

Right. Let's take her out next time.

Gosh, Yi-young.

Gosh, I bet she won't get any sleep tonight.

Yes?

I was called, right? Right?

What?

I think Prof. Geum called me.

Is she bleeding? Is she in pain?

I didn't hear.

Dr. Oh.

How many times are you going to check?

I'm just nervous.

It was my first time suturing,

and I think I pulled too hard on the skin earlier.

It's okay. That's how you learn and get better.

But did you pull really hard?

Professor, I've never seen this before.

I was in the OB ward for a year at another hospital.

But I've never seen a dressing site this clean before.

I'm the one who taught her how to do stitches.

I think you're okay.

I'll be back in an hour

to check for bleeding.

You don't have to come back. Let me sleep, please!

I'll see you later!

Goodness' sake.

Were you unable to go home because of me?

Yes.

I'm sorry. You didn't have to stay.

I could've gone home but didn't.

I wanted to pay you back.

Starting from today, I wanted pay you back little by little.

But I wasn't much help, right?

It'll take ages to pay you back.

No, you don't have to pay me back.

There's no need for that.

Okay, I'll take a look before we begin.

Even with the numbing cream, it might still sting.

But please try not to move.

If it hurts, raise your right hand.

Okay?

After that, I couldn't bring myself to reach out to you.

Because of me,

rumors spread that you punched a senior doctor.

Baseless rumors usually spread fast.

I know, right?

You didn't punch him. You bit him.

Hey, you crazy idiot!

Ow! My hand!

I need this hand for surgeries! Please!

Okay!

The skin clinic went under.

It got bad reviews for poor quality.

I think it started to get bad after you bit his hand.

That's why I bit him.

After him, was there anyone else who was like that?

Of course not.

These days, I do the touching.

That's a relief.

It's been an hour. I'll get going first.

Where are you going?

To see Prof. Geum.

But she said not to. She told you to go home now.

I'm worried she might bleed.

I'll just check one more time before I go.

Wait for me, Doctor!

You can go home!

I'll come with you.

Aren't you busy?

I'm not.

KU DO-WON 109/1404 DONGHAE APT, SINWOO-DONG, JUNG-GU

Right, the address for the wedding gifts.

OH YI-YOUNG 109/1404 DONGHAE APT, SINWOO-DONG, JUNG-GU

PYO NAM-KYUNG

Hey, Nam-kyung.

A hot herbal tea for me.

Hey, Yi-young and…

Never mind. I'll tell you in the lounge.

Okay, come quick.

Dr. Ku?

-Hi. -It is you!

I thought you were someone else.

With that hat, you look like someone else.

My hair was flattened by my surgical cap.

Going somewhere?

Out to eat.

-Where? -Near the hospital.

With who?

My sister-in-law. Why? Want to know what we're eating too?

No.

I was wondering if it was with your girlfriend.

Instead of wondering if I had a girlfriend,

shouldn't you be more curious about Seon Min-seon's BP?

And without discharge notes, we can't prescribe anything.

So when will you…

Oh, my. My coffee's getting cold.

I'll get going.

Hi!

-Did you wait long? -No.

It's Joo-young.

Are you okay to leave?

Yeah. Aren't you cold?

-They look too thin. -No, I'm fine.

That's Yi-young's sister. Why did he say that's his sister-in-law?

Dr. Cha thinks this is Dr. Ku.

It could be him. Or not.

Hey, think of him as Dr. Ku and look.

HELP US FIND THIS MAN WHO SAVED A LIFE

It is. I think it's him!

Or maybe not.

Hey! I have something big to tell you!

-This is huge! -Hey, this is bigger. Look.

No, this isn't important.

No, this is more important. Look at this.

Doesn't he look like Dr. Ku?

-Hey, that's… -What?

That is Dr. Ku.

Really? How could you tell right away?

The hat. That's Dr. Ku.

It really must be him.

Who's the woman with him?

She aided like a professional.

Is she from our hospital?

I've seen those clothes before.

You're right! It's Yi-young!

It is her!

It is them! The two of them!

What? Hey!

How did you know?

You knew too?

Yeah, I found out by coincidence.

But I thought I should wait until they told us.

Hey, you traitors.

You knew, but why didn't you tell me?

Hey, how did you know?

Did you see too?

Yeah, I did. They're…

-Living together. -Dating?

In-laws?

Wait, hold on…

What did you just say?

You said they're what?

I don't know.

Wait, hold on. So…

They're in-laws, but…

They live together.

And they're dating?

-What? -What?

What?

What are you talking about?

That doesn't make sense.

They're in-laws, so they could live together for various reasons.

But they wouldn't date.

What?

But why are they wearing the same shoes?

Was it a group purchase because they live together?

I'm off to have lunch with my sister.

Hey, Yi-young!

What?

-It's true! -Oh, my God, Yi-young!

Hey!

You…

What is it?

What?

THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, JUNG MOON-SUNG, OUR ETERNAL DO JAE-HAK

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

I'll give birth on January 1st at midnight.

I said not yet!

-Ma'am. -Can we wait a bit?

The baby's the one who chooses when to come out.

Doctor.

What is it?

Have you decided on who the new OR professor will be?

Our new OB professor will be…

Yes, Professor.

-So? -For real?

You two are…

We're dating. Happy now?

You'll be double in-laws?

There's another couple?

It's such a shame. If I had a daughter…

Even if you did, it wouldn't matter.

A secret relationship, my foot.

When did I buy this?

I'm not doing my second year.

People like her stay the longest.

It's her habit of speaking now.

I wasn't going to tell you this, but…

Ta-da!
