Finally.

Finally!

"EPISODE 13"

Is he really here?

I believe so.

I haven't seen him in forever!

He actually came after all.

Did he say he'd come here straight away?

Master Kim told me
to wait in the trauma center.

So I'm sure
he will bring him here directly.

Right through those doors!

What are you guys doing there?

Did something happen again?

Whatever. I'm going to go see him now.

Me too! Wait for me, Ms. Oh!

Hey!

Master Kim told us to wait!

What is it?

Is someone coming?

He's already here.

Right here at Doldam Hospital.

Who?

The first ace surgeon at Doldam Hospital.

It's none other than Dr. Kang Dongju!

Right then, I'm off too.

Dr. Kang Dongju?

No way.

That Kang Dongju?

What? Dr. Kang is here?

Yes, Dr. Kang Dongju.

He arrived just now.

Who's Dr. Kang Dongju?

He's the legendary surgeon

who had a fistfight with Master Kim
as soon as he got to Doldam Hospital.

What? They had a fistfight?

Come on. I doubt that's true.

Even if it's a rumor,

I doubt Master Kim would get
into a fistfight.

I mean, I only heard about it too.

So just like all legends,
it's up to you to believe it or not.

It's not just a story. It really happened.

Right, Mr. Koo?

Is that true?

Did he really throw punches at Master Kim?

Yes, that's right.

I was there at the very scene
and broke up the fight myself.

Oh, my. No way.

Master Kim used his fists on a student?

No way.

Come on.

I'm sure that Kang Dongju guy

couldn't throw punches
at Master Kim either.

How is that possible?

That guy was always unyielding
and headstrong since med school.

He picked a fight
with Director Do Yoonwan as a fellow

and got sent to Doldam Hospital,
so you get the picture.

You can tell how he is
from his attitude to his character, right?

Dr. Cha, you seem to know him well.

I mean, I don't know him well personally.

He was just very famous
for being so headstrong.

So where is Dr. Kang now?

He's talking with Master Kim.

I should go and say hi.
I'm so excited to see him.

Aren't the rest of you going to say hello?

Aren't you going, Dr. Cha?

What?

Right.

Well, I can say hi later.

Look at the time. Goodness.

Are you back now?

You haven't changed at all.

Ms. Eom!

- Ms. Eom!
- Ms. Joo!

- Wait up!
- Wait for me!

Dr. Kang Dongju is here.
Did you hear about it?

Yes.

He won't remember us, will he?

Sure. He won't remember.
That was ages ago, right?

What happened?

Did something happen
between you and Dr. Kang?

You kids don't need to know, okay?

Go now. Shoo.

Dr. Kang!

Welcome!

It's great to see you!

Look who it is!

- Dr. Kang!
- You're here!

Dr. Kang. You're finally here.
I'm glad you came.

Welcome back.

I'm glad to see you too, Dr. Kang.

It's been so long! I'm so happy!

I'm glad you're here.
I missed you so much.

Have you all been well?

Ms. Oh, you still look the same.

Gosh.

I know that's not true,
but since you're saying that,

I'll take your word for it.

You've gotten even more handsome.

Come on.

So are you back for good this time?

Yes, I'm back for good.

My dear Dr. Kang Dongju.

Do you know
how long I've waited for this day?

I thought you'd be back
after your military service,

but you suddenly went to the US.

Do you know how crushed I felt back then?

Why would you feel crushed?

He told everyone he'd be back
once he finished his studies.

Still, that was
just how I felt at the time.

- Oh, you.
- All right.

Say hello to the Doldam staff
who have been holding down the fort.

Nice to meet you. I'm Yoon Areum,
a Emergency Medicine specialist.

I'm Lee Seonung, a cardiothoracic surgeon.

I'm Nurse Joo Yeongmi.

It's an honor to meet the legend himself.

I hope we get along well.

Hey!

Kang Dongju!

Goodness.

What took you so long?

You should've come back sooner!

Insu, you haven't changed one bit.
Have you been well?

I've been well and not so well.

Anyway, it's so good to see you.

I'm glad you're back.

I've been waiting, Dr. Kang.

Did you see
the trauma center on your way in?

It stands so tall and proud,
doesn't it?

You have to see the inside. Let's go.

- Come on.
- Do you want to see it now?

- We'll take you.
- Slow down.

- Okay.
- Dr. Kang must be so confused.

What have you been up to lately?

- How have you been?
- I've been well.

- Did you lose some weight?
- Come on.

- He must've worked out a lot.
- I know, right?

- He looks great.
- I can tell from your accent.

- It does.
- Are you good at English now?

- What?
- Well, he looks great anyway.

- Yes.
- He was always known for his good looks.

How much did you think about doing
while coming here?

How far can I go here?

As far as you want to.

However, you can't go against the rules.

Then we'll start

by following the rules.

It's going to be tougher than you think.

You've come prepared, right?

You know I can take a punch.

The teacher is still strange.

The people are still strange.

This hospital is still strange.

And…

I have returned to that place.

SURGEON KANG DONGJU

KANG DONGJU

That's my desk.

It used to be mine.

If you need a desk,
you can ask the administrative office.

Forget about the desk.

We've met, haven't we?

Yes, we have.

I'm surprised.

I didn't know I'd meet you here.

I know, right?

What happened to your hand?

I got hurt
when I went out to do disaster relief.

You should be careful.

The most important tool for a surgeon

is his hand, not his scalpel.

I'll handle

my own tools.

This will be fun.

You think so?

I'll see you around then.

TRAUMA CENTER

VOLUME 13
THE PARROTBILL PARADOX

FLOWERS

Flowers.

It's always flowers!

Flowers!

Don't you think that's a bit too much?

Wait.

Do you perhaps think what matters
is the heart and not a grand gesture?

In that case…

No, you're wrong.

You have to go big or go home.

Love without action is just being
plain lazy.

And what happens to lazy love?
It withers away quickly.

It can never last long.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

You like Areum, don't you?

What…

Are you seriously asking me that
to my face?

You got me.

Don't people usually wish for
the other guy to fail in his relationship?

I did, really strongly.

"Please fight, drift apart, and break up."

But Dr. Areum wasn't that kind of person.

I only ever read
about such dedicated love in storybooks.

This is my first time seeing it in person.

It's fascinating,
but it also makes me jealous.

Don't mess this up.

Don't keep it to yourself.
Express how you feel, okay?

Flowers are the answer. Got it?

What? What do you mean?

Kang Dongju is

the interim head of the trauma center?

Yes. That's what I heard.

Does that mean Dr. Kang is going to be
in charge of the Trauma Center?

That's probably what will happen.

The office is quite spacious.

We took great care
from the layout to the decorations.

If you need anything,
let me know anytime.

I will take care of it
right away, Dr. Kang.

Right.

Or should I call you
the head of the trauma center?

I'm only the interim head for now.

Whether you're the interim head or not,

you're still in charge.

It'll soon become official, won't it?

The outcome is set in stone.

Dr. Kang Dongju,
the head of the trauma center.

Where is the medical office?

Gosh.

How does this make sense?

He came to the field
much later than I did.

How is he the interim head?

He's only two years your junior.

The difference isn't that large.

Still, this can't happen.
I'm still alive and kicking.

And are you the only one? I'm here too.

That's what I mean.

But they want us

to work under our junior.

This will mess up seniority
and the whole pecking order.

Is that okay with you?

Aren't you angry?

No. I'm fine.

Why should I be angry?

That punk, Kang Dongju, will do
as he pleases in the trauma center.

And we'll have to follow
the orders that he gives us.

Will you just sit back and watch that?

Won't you feel ashamed?

Well,

if that makes you feel ashamed,

you should've worked harder.

What?

While Kang Dongju went
all the way to the US

to study trauma cases
and build more experience,

how much effort have you put in, Dr. Yang?

Why are you being like this?

I've been pulling my weight at Doldam too.

No matter what position it is,

a leader can't just pull his own weight.

You have to be excellent, outstanding,

ahead of the others,

or work several times harder.

Shouldn't you at least
do one of those things?

It's always those who don't work hard

that care about
the pecking order and seniority,

and try to use that to their advantage.

Dr. Cha, what's with the long face?

Do you have a complaint too?

Sorry?

No. It's not really a complaint, but…

Doctors, here you are.

Dr. Kang here wanted to see
the medical office, so we stopped by.

Welcome.

It's nice in here.

We put in a lot of thought
as we built this office too.

Then I should just stay here
for the time being as well.

In the medical office?

But there's such a nice office
for the head of the trauma center.

I'm not officially
the head of the trauma center yet.

I'll just stay here for now.

I should get to know
the other doctors too.

This is more comfortable for me.

Is that okay?

Of course.
You're always welcome to join me.

It's fine with me too. Sure.

What's your name?

I'm Cha Eunjae, a CT surgeon.
I was a freshman in 2007.

I see. A CT surgeon.

It's been a while, Dr. Yang.

Hey.

Seriously, that punk.

Why is Dr. Yang so angry?

What do you think is wrong?

Since there is
a new interim head of the trauma center,

everyone will need some time
to get used to each other.

Let's not mind them
and just do our jobs, Ms. Joo.

I see.

Okay.

Hey, don't mind him.

You know he can be quite sensitive.

Which desk should I use?

Use one of the empty ones,
whichever is comfortable for you.

- Dr. Cha?
- Yes?

Can you ask the activation team
and the key staff to get together?

I have something to brief them
on the management of the trauma center.

Let's meet
in the meeting room in 30 minutes.

Yes, in the meeting room in 30 minutes.
I'll let everyone know.

I'll look around the rest
of the trauma center and meet you there.

Okay, see you later.

All right.

Kang Dongju, that guy.

He's already so passionate

when he only just got here.

This is awkward.

- Does he remember or not?
- Remember what?

Nothing. I'll see you
in the meeting room in 30 minutes.

Still, how can you bring in Kang Dongju?

All this time,
no matter how hard things were,

I haven't complained once
and endured it all.

But I just can't accept
this personnel appointment.

Him as the new head of the trauma center?

Don't you think Master Kim is wielding
his authority however he wants?

He already discussed this matter with me.

Pardon?

The budget officers will be barging in
here next week.

I think it's a relief

that he arrived ahead of schedule.

Why? Is there a problem?

Of course there's a problem.

Who has been working
the hardest for the provincial budget?

It's you, Director Park.

And you'll appoint Master Kim's man
to become the head of the trauma center?

Does that make any sense?

Isn't Master Kim just trying
to start internal strife?

I think you're the one
who's causing internal strife.

You should go
and review another case study

rather than waste time like this,

Dr. Yang.

Hey, do you think I'm acting like this
because a junior is outranking me?

It seems so.

- Wasn't that it?
- Hey!

Okay, to be honest,

if Woojin took that spot,

I'd totally accept it.

For the past three years,
he worked harder than anyone,

made an effort, and went through a lot.

And I watched the whole thing.

But this jerk, Kang Dongju?
He's a nobody from nowhere.

This smells nice.

He's not a nobody.

He was at Doldam before us.

I didn't see it myself. I can't accept it!

But it won't change anything

just because you can't accept it.

That's what I mean.

Woojin, can't you do something?

Master Kim listens to everything you say.

Does he? That's news to me.

You should step up
to shed some light on this issue

and express your opposition.

Wouldn't that make a difference?

I mean, you're the ace of Doldam.

But I don't work in Trauma Center.

It's not my place to step in.

Hey, are you really going to be like this?

You didn't get along
with Kang Dongju either.

Dr. Seo.

Do you know Kang Dongju?

They got into a big fight as residents.

I'll be going now.

Woojin. You can't just leave.

Hey, how will you oppose the situation?

Hey, Woojin!

CONSULTATION ROOM 2

- What are you doing?
- Goodness.

Are you looking for something?

No, I was just passing by.

Really?

Are you working hard
on your rehabilitation?

Of course. It's getting better.

No. It's mine, not yours.

Goodness, there's an emergency patient.

- I'll go.
- It's my patient.

You can go inside and do your own thing.

Go inside.

Hey.

- What is the call about?
- It's from the ER.

I've looked over the records
of all the patients who were treated

at the trauma center for the past
two months of the simulation period.

A lot of the operations
were still inefficient,

and the distinction between
severe and emergency trauma patients

was still vague.

The paramedics are
still confused about that too.

And it is uncertain for us in some ways.

From now on, we won't accept
non-trauma patients at the Trauma Center.

How do we distinguish them?

We'll go by the rules.

We'll only accept patients
who meet the criteria set by KTDB,

with severe trauma,
multiple injuries, or heavy bleeding.

Won't that put too much pressure
on Doldam Hospital's emergency room?

I think we ought to help out
so they don't feel too burdened.

That's for Doldam Hospital to figure out.

We'll only think about
our own problems.

Until the system is stabilized,
Dr. Jung Insu and I will distinguish

which patients will be accepted
to the trauma center.

What? Okay, then.

Next, about the trauma bay.

Just go along

with what he wants to do.

But if we do as he says,

Doldam Hospital will have to
take on a lot more patients.

There will be more surgical patients too.

Even when we didn't have a trauma center,

we handled everything ourselves.

I just think
it might be too much of a burden on you.

And Dr. Seo's hand isn't
fully recovered yet.

I'll handle everything on my end.

I want all three of you to take
Kang Dongju's side no matter what.

Let's give him time
and watch what it is he wants to do.

Okay, Doil?

You too, Insu.

Yes, Master Kim.

All right.

We have
a traffic accident patient!

- What are his vitals?
- They're 110/75.

Heart rate is 100, RR is 22,

and saturation is 97%.

He had chest pains
before losing consciousness.

- To the trauma bay.
- Yes, Doctor.

Give me the sonogram.

Sir?

Sir?

Can you hear me?

Open your eyes. Sir?

Get the portable X-ray in here now!

Let's send this patient to Doldam.

He's a TA patient.
You still want to send him to Doldam's ER?

He doesn't have any trauma or bleeding.

They can handle fractures over there too.

He has an aortic dissection.

It's a descending one, not ascending.

And it's only an intimal tear,
so it won't be an emergency surgery.

What will you do here?

Will you do a TEVAR yourself?

THORACIC ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR

Can you try lifting your knee?

Where does it hurt?

- Here.
- I'll press on the part.

What about the flowers?

What happened?

We have a patient!

Just a second, ma'am.

Let's talk later.

- It's a dissection patient.
- To the hybrid OR.

He still hasn't bought them.

We have a patient.

What's her condition?

She was found after a fall while hiking.

Her vitals are 120/80,

heart rate is 90, RR is 25,

and saturation is 98%.

It seems her right knee is fractured.

- Take her to the trauma bay.
- Okay.

Hang on.

Ma'am, where does it hurt the most?

Right here.

Let me take a look.

There's no swelling in the scalp.

GCS is a 15.

- Tell me if this hurts.
- Okay.

She doesn't have pain in her hips.

Send her to Doldam's ER.

What?

Let's move her to Doldam's ER.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Sir!

Sir?

Can you hear me?

What are his vitals?

BP is 100/60, 110. Saturation is 91,
and temperature is 34°C.

Drowning patients
without multiple injuries

aren't included in the KTDB.

Send him to Doldam's ER.

This patient too?

Let's move the patient
to Doldam's ER. Ms. Joo?

We have a patient!

What do we have?

He fell into the water.
He went into cardiac arrest once.

He's still unconscious.
His temperature is 34°C.

Take him to the hybrid OR now.

Nurse Euntak.

- Yes, coming.
- I'll take this.

You're okay. I'm almost done.

- Just one more.
- Over here. Let's get a CT scan.

Dr. Yoon.

I'm coming.

One, two, three.

Are you leaving me out on purpose?

Did you catch on?

Master Kim.

Dr. Bae.

- Come here.
- Yes, Master Kim.

- Yes?
- What's your opinion as his doctor?

He still needs further rehabilitation.

That's right. You heard him, didn't you?

Just focus on your rehabilitation for now.

NURSES STATION

Yes, you should. Stop getting so anxious.

Let's see.

We have a patient!

- What are his vitals?
- BP is 120/80. Heart rate 90.

Patients with stable vitals
and below knee and elbow injuries

will go to Doldam's ER.

Yes, tell them we'll take them.

There's a patient coming in
who lost consciousness in a freezer.

Hypothermia patients
without associated injuries,

superficial frostbite patients,
or first-degree burn victims

will be sent to Doldam's ER.

Hello?

You'll have to go to Doldam's ER.

Yes, take them.

To Doldam's ER.

Have them sent here.

To Doldam's ER.

Okay, have them sent here.

All right, tell them to come here.

Have all of them sent here.

Say that we'll take them all.
Have them sent here.

To Doldam's ER.

Yes, Doctor.

Master Kim said
it would be like this.

Still, it has been three days.

We haven't taken in
any patients for three days.

This isn't normal.

Don't you know Kang Dongju?

He's never one to act without a plan.

I'm sure he has his reasons.

That's why Master Kim said
we should keep watching him.

The problem is that
the other doctors don't see it that way.

Everyone feels uncomfortable
with Dr. Kang's methods.

The complaints are piling up too.

Master Kim also expected that.

I hear the Doldam ER

is having a tough time too.

Hey! I was the one who nursed Mom

for three years before she passed away!

That's all you can say,
isn't it?

I lived with Mom for ten years!

Hey, you punk.
Mom was nice enough to take you in.

You didn't take care of her!

Hang on.

Anyway, I have a right to that house too!

Gosh, it looks like Mom raised a thief!

Be quiet. This is a hospital!

Who are you calling a thief?

- Be quiet!
- Why should I?

Sir?

Fortunately, your head looks fine.

Is anything else wrong besides nausea?

I don't have sensations in my legs,
so I can't walk.

Did you fall during the fight?

I did bump into the edge of the staircase.

But I've been losing sensation
in my legs since before that.

Let me take a look.

Do you have high blood pressure, diabetes,
or any other illnesses or allergies?

I had surgery for
second-stage colon cancer last year.

And I've been taking
blood pressure medicine for the past year.

It would be weird if your blood pressure
was normal with that temper of yours!

Please be quiet, sir.
I'm trying to treat you!

Ms. Eom.

Have Dr. Lee Seonung look at this patient.

Yes, Doctor.

- Dr. Ung!
- Yes.

- What did you say?
- Just sit down.

Just sit back down.

- Sir, please stop!
- Take him away.

- Don't be such a baby.
- You should have him arrested.

- He's out of his mind.
- Nurse Euntak, what about the flowers?

Still no flowers today?

I don't think this is the right time
to be talking about that.

- Dr. Dong!
- Yes, coming.

- Close the curtains.
- Okay.

- It might be an embolism. We'll need a CT.
- Okay.

How long
has your leg been like this?

We have a patient!

It hurts!

- It hurts!
- Sir, how does it hurt?

- Stop that!
- He's crazy!

How could you do this?

Coming through!

You did this when you were drunk.

- Stop that.
- You shouldn't even treat him.

- Doctor.
- No, stop it.

Don't bother treating him, Doctor.

Ms. Oh.

Yes?

Can we really do this?

What do you mean?

We have so much…

free time.

Goodness. Dr. Cha.

You're right.

We did have a sudden decrease in customers

for the past few days.

Dr. Jung.

See? The jinx is gone.
The phone won't even ring.

Dr. Cha!

I wish the phone would ring.

Dr. Jung!

It's hard
when there's a lot of work,

but it's also very hard
when there's no work to do.

They say you keep
learning new things until your life ends.

I never thought I'd suffer
from not having any work.

Gosh, how amazing.

Ms. Joo.

DR. LEE SEONUNG

Dr. Lee. What's up?

Dr. Cha.

There's a patient with an embolism.

He had surgery last year
for second-stage colon cancer.

We got a CT scan,

and I think his abdominal aorta
is blocked by a blood clot.

He says he has
no sensation in his lower body.

How long has it been?

Since this morning.
I just uploaded the CT scans.

There was an adhesion
in the abdominal aorta.

And the blood clot got stuck there.

Where's Master Kim?

He's now performing a discectomy.

I think he'll be gone
for another two or three hours.

What do I do?

The patient's leg is turning purple.

Wait a second.

Doctor!

I just got a call from Doldam's ER.

There's an embolism patient.

It seems like
an acute abdominal aortic occlusion.

Did you report this to Master Kim?

He's in surgery
for a discectomy right now.

It will take about two hours.

Can't we take that patient
and do the surgery?

Isn't there another CT surgeon at Doldam?

He's only a first-year fellow,
so he can't lead the surgery yet.

Report it to Master Kim first.
He will handle it himself.

Don't you think you're being too much?

Since you joined us,

there hasn't been a single surgery
in the trauma center for three days.

You sent all the patients
over to Doldam's ER.

Those patients were mistakenly sent here
instead of Doldam's ER.

I just sent them where they should go.

Is something wrong?

You're not accepting patients
who are in critical situations.

Don't you know trauma doctors aren't
allowed to handle non-trauma cases?

But I'm the only CT surgeon who can
do that surgery besides Master Kim!

Am I not allowed to do it despite that?
You don't want me to do anything?

That's right. Don't do anything.

Dr. Kang!

Don't do anything
other than report it to Master Kim.

I made myself clear.

Dr. Lee.

Dr. Cha.

The patient was losing consciousness,
so I moved him into the hybrid OR.

Dr. Ung! He's in cardiac arrest!

- Help me out here.
- Okay.

What should I do?
Should I tell Master Kim?

Resuscitate the patient
and move him to the OR.

I'll be right there.

Dr. Cha.

Where are you going?

Hey.

What's going on?

They started anesthesia.

Okay.

DR. JUNG INSU

Is she not answering?

No, she's not.

Doldam Hospital Trauma Center.

There was a three-car pileup
in a nearby tunnel.

Can we begin surgery?

Yes, you may begin.

Scalpel.

Dr. Cha.

It's Ms. Joo in the trauma center.

Patients are headed
to the trauma center now.

What?

The patients are
the driver of a cargo truck,

the driver
and his teenage daughter in a van,

and a family of three in a sedan.

That's a total of six patients.

Dr. Kang!

For severe cases,
one has an abdominal injury with a low BP

and one with multiple injuries
to the chest and abdomen.

And there's a child
with a seatbelt injury.

There's muscle guarding
in the abdomen.

What should we do?

It's Dr. Kang Dongju
from the Trauma Center.

Hey, what's going on?

We're getting patients
from a three-car pileup right now.

We'll take the two severe trauma patients,

and the other four will go to the ER.

There's a child
with a possible seatbelt injury as well.

Can you cover that?

Dr. Kang, do you have experience
with child trauma patients?

Yes, I do.

Then you should cover that one.

I still have a way to go
with this surgery.

Yes, got it.

We'll take the torso injury patients
and the child trauma patient only.

You'll take the child trauma patient?

Why not just send that one to Master Kim?

He said we should take it
since his surgery will take a while.

Let's activate the medical staff first.

I already called the activation team.

But, the thing is…

Why did you tell him that?

We're almost done here.

He meant that he wanted to try
treating a child trauma patient.

I should let him do so.

Is that what that meant?

How can you read
between the lines so well?

Once you know the person,
you can see his intention.

Once you see his intention,
you can read between the lines too.

Cut.

Cut.

Right, then I'll step out here.

I'll leave you to take care
of the orthopedic part.

- Good work, Master Kim.
- Thanks.

Let's insert the screws.

What do you mean
Dr. Cha went into surgery?

I guess the patient in the ER was
in critical condition.

Master Kim was in surgery,

so I think she had no choice but to go in.

Oh.

The ambulance is arriving in four minutes.

The adhesion is
pretty bad. Metz, please.

Ms. An, let me know
how things are going at the trauma center.

Yes, Doctor.

I can't believe that kid.

Dr. Yoon.

Yes?

Cha Eunjae is in the OR. What happened?

Did someone call her?

Well, it was a patient
with an embolism.

Dr. Ung called her since it was
an acute abdominal aortic occlusion.

It was Dr. Ung?

You should've reported that to me first.

I think he did so because he thought
your surgery would take a little longer.

My goodness.

Master Kim, patients are coming in
from a three-car pileup now.

Two severe patients

and one child will go
to the trauma center.

The other patients with minor injuries are
on their way here.

If the child patient goes
to Trauma Center as well,

Kang Dongju won't be able
to handle it on his own.

Ms. Eom.

Can you check how much longer
Cha Eunjae's surgery will take?

- Yes, Master Kim.
- Okay.

Start 200 ml of fluids.

Yes, Doctor.

We have a patient!

Hurry. To the hybrid OR.

To the hybrid OR, please.

- Dr. Jang.
- Yes?

- Come here.
- Yes, Master Kim.

- What do we have?
- It's a laceration.

This way.

Over here.

Let's move the patient.
In one, two, three.

Removing the gurney. In one, two, three.

He's in his sixties.
He was driving the cargo truck.

His vitals are 60/30,
heart rate 150.

He went into cardiac arrest on the way,
but we managed to bring him back.

Get blood and norepinephrine.

Call for a trauma series.

Let's have a FAST too.

This way.

Let's move the patient.

- In one, two, three.
- In one, two, three.

- In one, two, three.
- In one, two, three.

This is the sedan driver.

Vitals are 90/50, heart rate 120.

He was found in the driver's seat

and was unconscious when we got there.
The airbag did go off,

but the driver's side
was severely crushed.

We had a hard time getting him out.

Start two lines and an MTP.

Yes, Doctor.

Give me two ampoules of calcium
and tranexamic acid.

Dr. Kang, the child patient is here.
What should we do?

Let's move her to the observation area.

Yes, Doctor.

Where is my daughter?

What about my husband?

She was in the passenger seat.

She has many lacerations
from the broken window.

It seems her clavicle is broken,
so we put her in an arm sling.

What happened to my daughter?

Why wasn't she brought
to the same hospital as me?

Is she badly hurt?

Nothing bad happened to her, right?

Don't worry. If something happens,
I'll let you know right away.

Nurse, let's get an X-ray and CT for her.

- Call Dr. Ortho once he's done in the OR.
- Yes, Doctor.

Over here.

Yes, how can I help?

The car in front of me
suddenly slammed on the brakes.

How could I keep myself from crashing?

This is purely the other car's fault.

I did nothing wrong, got it?

You'll see once you look
at the dashcam footage, right?

Yes, you can tell the police
or your insurance provider about that.

Can I borrow your penlight?

- You hit your head, right?
- Yes.

Look at this light.

I told you to look at the light.

Do you feel like
you might vomit or feel dizzy?

No, I'm fine.

I have a hard head.

It doesn't crack that easily.

There's a reason
why my nickname is Doctor Hardhead.

Goodness.

Here you go.

Dr. Jang, once he's done vomiting,
take him in for a head CT.

- Yes, Master Kim.
- A head CT?

Doesn't that cost a lot?

You were in a car accident.

It'll be covered by your insurance.
Don't worry.

Okay.

Let me take a look.

Ma'am, please wait here for a bit.

The doctors will be with you
after they finish with the others.

Okay.

You don't look so great.

Do you feel any pain?

No, it's just my stomach.

Was it from the car accident?

No, it's not that.

I just have period cramps.

Oh, I see.

Uh…

Just a second.

ADMISSION DESK

Hold this to your stomach.

It'll feel better.

Thank you.

This patient has
a massive hemoperitoneum.

The liver injury seems really bad.

This one is pretty bad too.

He has a rib fracture,

flail chest, and a bad heart sound.

What are the patient's vitals?

It's 100/60, with a heart rate of 110
and a saturation of 90.

Dr. Kang, we moved
the child trauma patient to observation.

Her vitals are 75/40,
and heart rate is 130.

But the kid seems lethargic.

Let's get a CT for this patient first.

Yes, Doctor.

Insu.

I'll take this patient.

You go to the observation area
and check on the child.

Will you be okay on your own?

The child is our priority. Please go.

Okay.

Is the anesthetist not here yet?

- Ah...
- I'm here now.

It's a massive hemoperitoneum
from a liver injury.

We're not sure about any other injuries.

He's in impending arrest, so I'll block
the aorta for damage control.

I'll do a crash laparotomy,
pack him, and stop the bleeders.

Then see if he needs anything else
in the second look surgery.

Will you be okay on your own?

I'll have to try. It's just me now.

Why not ask Doldam for backup instead?

There's the patient
who just went in for a CT,

this hemoperitoneum patient,

and even a child trauma patient.

You can't handle all of this on your own.

I'll block off the aorta
with a REBOA first.

Get the REBOA ready.

Yes, Doctor.

Should I call Master Kim?

No, if we have to call Master Kim,
Dr. Kang will do it himself.

Still, Dr. Kang can't handle
three trauma patients on his own.

I'll follow along.

Are we doing REBOA first?

With three fingers?

The left hand only helps.

I still have a talented right hand.

Ms. Oh, make the preparations.

Short guide wire.

Scalpel.

Sheath.

Syringe, 10 cc.

Long guide wire.

Got it.

Stiff wire.

Syringe, 20 cc.

Suture.

Systolic BP is up to 100.

- Cut.
- Cut.

Let's open the abdomen now.
Scalpel.

Gauze.

Mayo.

Richardson.

I need lots of gauze.

Gauze.

Okay.

Right angle.

Nylon tape.

Ms. Joo.

That's it.

Vascular tourniquet.

Curved mosquito.

Got it.

The patient's vitals are dropping.

It's a retro-hepatic IVC injury.

Gauze.

- I need more.
- Keep them coming.

This side.

All right. Now the opposite side.

Hang on.

I'll have to look at the mesentery.

Vascular clamp.

One more.

Suture.

Forceps.

- Cut.
- Cut.

Cut.

Suture.

Ten more FFPs.

Cut.

Irrigation.

Warm saline. Give me more.

There.

He's in cardiac arrest!

Push epi.

Give me a footstool.

Let's do Transdiaphragmatic
Open Cardiac Massage. Kelly!

Mayo.

Push one more of epi.

Hang on.

I'll do a complete occlusion
of the REBOA.

How are things going
in the trauma center?

Dr. Seo Woojin went over there.

He's doing damage control
with Dr. Kang Dongju.

Seo Woojin?

And the patient
with the thoracoabdominal bleed?

They're waiting
for the CT results.

Tell them to send
the CT results here too.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Lee, hold this.

It'll tear if you pull too hard.

Loosen up.

- Is the graft ready?
- It's ready.

What are you doing, Dr. Lee?

Right.

You need to hold the graft.

- Dr. Cha.
- Hang on, Nurse Euntak.

Dr. Cha.

Take a breath, okay?

Scalpel blade no. 12.

Irrigation.

Promise me one thing.

Mm?

As long as you put me in charge,

If I need help,

I'll ask you for it.

But in the meantime,

KANG DONGJU

OPERATING ROOM 1

Let's check the rhythm.

There's no pulse.

Let's check the rhythm.

Nothing.

The child patient keeps
losing consciousness.

The CT shows a bleeder in the spleen.
What should I do?

But you should promise me
one thing too.

Don't overwork yourself

for your own drive and performance. Okay?

Dr. Kang.

Time of death, 3:38 p.m.

The patient is deceased.

The CT results for
the thoracoabdominal injury are up.

The liver and spleen are damaged.

There are six flail segments in the ribs.

The top two seem
to be puncturing the lungs.

We'll have to call in a CT surgeon.

Should I call Master Kim?

Can you get Dr. Cha Eunjae on the line?

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Cha.

Yes, I'm listening.

The trauma patient
from the traffic accident

is bleeding in the lungs
because of a rib fracture. What'll you do?

Dr. Cha.

Don't you work for the trauma center?

A patient who needs a CT surgeon
is lying in the trauma center right now.

It's a flail chest
with a damaged lung.

I'm asking what you will do.

Dr. Cha.

Aren't you going to answer me?

I'm sorry.

I'm doing an aorto-biiliac bypass now.

That's why I told you.

A member of the trauma center
is not allowed to treat

or operate on non-trauma cases!

Cha Eunjae, don't let it get to you.

According to the CT,
the worst of the bleeding is by the liver.

I'll take care of that for now.

You can finish up
your surgery and come over.

Focus on the patient in front of you now.

Got it?

Over and out.

What are you doing?

And what do you think you're doing?

Didn't you hear me scolding Cha Eunjae?

Are you scolding her for saving a life?

Yes, in this situation,
she should be scolded.

She has no common sense
as a trauma surgeon.

She forgot her duties
and broke the rules as she pleased!

She put the patients
in the trauma center in danger.

She's saving a life?

Does it look like
she's saving lives here right now?

Rules or whatever,

we're just doing
what Master Kim taught us to do.

Hey.

Why are you guys doing this?

Dongju.

Woojin.

You two shouldn't be arguing
right now.

We need to get ready for surgery.

Dr. Seo Woojin.

Do you know why the parrotbill dies
while chasing the stork?

It's not because
it can't keep up with the strides.

It's because the parrotbill loses its way
while hurrying to chase the stork.

The moment it loses its way,

everything is over.

What do you mean?

The only person who can be like Master Kim
is Master Kim himself.

Don't hurry after him,
trying to keep up with his pace.

You might lose something else
and not just your hand next time.

- Insu.
- Yes?

Move the child trauma patient
to Doldam Hospital.

I'll go into the OR
for the thoracoabdominal injury patient.

Do you know what?

You might represent
what our approach should be,

but you cannot be our goal.

If you do,

we will never be able to succeed.

What do I do?

SURGERY CONSENT FORM

Is there any bleeding?

No, there isn't any.

It looks good.

Dr. Lee, you should close up.

Yes, Dr. Cha. Don't worry.

- Nurse Euntak.

Why do you think she's mad?

Why do you think he doesn't know that?

I must've done something wrong, right?

If I said that I was upset,

he should understand.

I thought it would be
more comfortable as we were closer.

But I'm only getting more and more upset.

What do I do

in times like these?

I'm just asking him
to understand how I feel.

That's really all there is.

I really have no idea.

How can he not know that?

Did you perhaps

forget about an anniversary?

- No.
- Then her birthday?

I was thinking of that too.

Areum's birthday is in February.

Don't feel too bad, Areum.

Goodness, you look so gaunt.

I didn't think
Nurse Euntak would be like that.

How could he
not even talk to you for days?

Nurse Euntak might seem nice,

but he can be quite callous.

Areum, you're going through
so much in your difficult relationship.

You poor thing!

You must be so stressed out.

In times like these,
you should just tell him to break up.

Then he'll suddenly come to his senses.

Let's talk about this
in detail after work.

Soonyoung's Restaurant? How about it?

Count me in.

Count me in.

You can't tell a book
by its cover.

He has to say how he feels.

- Right?
- Has Areum been talking less lately?

No.

Then how come he hasn't spoken to her?

- This is hard.
- I know.

Come on. Flowers are the answer.

Flowers? As if.

Are you really that clueless
about what women want?

What would you guys know?

Flowers are the answer.

(DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3)

What happens if I can't stay?

You don't need to worry
about that.

I don't think
showing favoritism toward someone

will help this situation at all,
Master Kim.

Dr. Yoon Areum, hurry!

What is this?

What's with that crazy speed?

He's going that fast
even though it's just him and Nurse Oh.

This is an emergency situation, Dr. Kang.

Bring the trauma staff
from the lounge this instant.
