Episode 17

Gauze.

Scalpel.

Hold it.

Stretcher.

Hold it.

Probe.

Probe.

Tie.

Cut.

A moment longer, and he would have been in danger.

If it had burst, he would have developed peritonitis.

What happens if he had developed peritonitis?

You would have to operate, but there is no guarantee he would survive.

You have to suture up the cut portion.

I can handle it from here.

All right. Come over to this side.

How did you know it was appendicitis?

Colitis that occurs on the right abdomen has the same symptoms as appendicitis.

If it were colitis, he would have had these symptoms before.

But he told us he didn't.

A doctor must never make assumptions.

He must always accept the possibility that it can be another disease and be thorough.

- That will reduce misdiagnosis. - I understand.

I... need some rest.

Good job today.

Miss...!

Take...

Take this.

- What is it? - Open it.

Father ordered some medical supplies and this came with it.

- That's why you came here at this hour? - That isn't the only reason.

- I had other business here. - I see.

This... this is a stethoscope.

You will soon graduate and become an intern.

I thought you might need this.

This... this is so...

- Please take it. - I... I don't deserve this...

Please take it. You deserve it.

You definitely deserve it.

When you become an intern...

Use it as you see fit.

Thank you.

I'll be on my way now.

Wait... wait a moment!

I'll escort you back.

- Do you remember? - What?

You once took me home from Lord Moellendorf's house.

You mean during the coup?

When Lord Min was wounded...

This was the path we took.

Do you remember what you said to me that day?

What?

In the West, there is a man who cuts your hair and trims your beard.

They are called barbers,

... but they were the first doctors and used their shaving knives for surgery.

That means that lowborn people could become doctors too?

Yes, they could because they were good with the knife.

In Korea, that would be the equivalent of... butchers?

- Bu... butchers? - Butchers are good with knives too.

And because they sew leather shoes, they should be good with suturing.

Cut with a knife and sew with a needle...?

It's perfect!

That's true. Come to think of it, that's true!

- It's perfect! - Interesting, right?

Yes, it's interesting and amazing.

It all started with lowborn peasants...

Your story that evening...

... changed my life.

It did?

It's late. You should go in.

I...

Have you ever shaken hands with someone?

I have with Dr. Allen.

I did too with Dr. Allen.

My arm is going to fall off.

My hands are warm now, aren't they?

Because of you...

... my hands are warm again.

Your hands are cold.

Because of you, the butcher Little Dog was reborn as a medical student.

I see you're cleaning up, Nang Nang.

Oh, Mr. Hwang! I think Miss Seok Ran was here.

What's this?

Did Miss Seok Ran give you a present?

- Wh... what? Yes. - Can I see it?

Quickly! Show it to me!

This is a stethoscope!

You must be so pleased!

If you wear this, you'll be more dashing than Dr. Allen!

Hey...! That Heron is quite a character.

He really put Dr. Allen flat on his back!

- Does it suit me? - Yes, like it always belonged to you.

I promise I will pass the exam and become a great doctor.

My hands are warm now, aren't they?

Your hands are cold.

Because of you, my hands are warm again.

Is something the matter?

You tossed and turned all night.

- It's nothing. - Then let's get up!

Let's go get breakfast before the others finish off everything!

Hurry!

Broken!

At this rate, none of our teeth will be left in our mouths!

Seok Ran, does Jejoongwon handle toothaches?

I don't know if they treat them, but they do extract teeth with metal pliers.

Metal pliers? My teeth don't hurt at all!

Have a cup of wine and let's hope we only hear good news this year.

Thank you, dear. Have a cup of wine too.

I really shouldn't.

You know what I want to hear, right?

Mother...!

Seok Ran, do you want some wine too?

No, I don't need wine to hear good news.

- Mr. Hwang, come join us. - All right.

I'm starving. Eat a lot, everyone!

I heard Dr. Allen almost killed Mongchong.

That's not true.

I heard Mongchong would be dead if Heron wasn't there.

He really must be good.

You should really plan on sucking up that Heron's brain!

So when you become Director one day, you'll teach everything to us.

Please don't say that.

Everyone thinks you as a prospective Director.

- Don't deny it. - No, please don't say such things!

Don't be so humble! Jejoongwon is successful because of you!

By the way, I want to apologize for being mean to you.

I'm sorry for looking down on you because you were a substitute.

Why are you both saying these things?

Everyone listen! Did you hear?

As of today, Dr. Allen is...!

Fired! And Heron is Director!

I knew it.

It has already been five years...

... since Korea and America entered into an agreement.

That is correct, Your Majesty.

Allen, are you aware that...

... I sent a delegation to America headed by Min Young Ik?

Yes, Your Majesty. Lord Min Young Ik told me about it.

It is my desire to take the amicable alliance...

... between our two countries one step further.

I plan on establishing a Korean embassy in America.

As such, the Vice Interior Justice Minister will be sent to America as Ambassador.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Since you are well-versed in our culture and policies,

... it is my wish that you accompany the new Ambassador as his advisor.

I hope you will not reject my request.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will do as you command.

- And you are Heron? - Yes, Your Majesty.

It is my wish that you take Allen's position as Director of Jejoongwon.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey.

J.H. Heron, 2nd Director of Jejoongwon

In any case, if Heron's arrival makes things better for Do Yang,

... there would be nothing better!

Then I could see my brother when I die and not be ashamed!

Now that you mention it...

I have already informed Director Heron about what Hwang did to Lord Baek.

Did you? How excellent!

Allen protected Hwang from that incident.

But Heron wouldn't stand for something like that!

Looks like good times are over for that Hwang.

Am I wrong, Do Yang?

You reap what you sow.

Yes, you're right.

I've realized these past few days that...

... you made a good choice to become a doctor.

The world is a different place.

The civil exams can only do so much for you.

Yes, you're right.

Yes, I think the same way too.

Since you're on the road to becoming a doctor,

... why don't you plan on becoming the King's doctor,

... and let alone the Director of Jejoongwon?

The King's doctor would be at least a level three office!

That would be the equivalent of...

... at least a Royal Secretary or a Head Professor at Sunggyungwan!

You didn't make it that far. Did you, Administrator Oh?

Mongchong, I'm sorry.

My misdiagnosis caused you more suffering.

Please don't say that. It's my fault for getting sick.

It was my mistake.

I might have diagnosed it as colitis,

... because I don't know how to do an appendectomy.

A doctor must never see a patient using his own narrow scope of knowledge.

But that is what I did.

Has he eaten?

He's been eating porridge since last night.

I hope you have a fast recovery.

Director...

Thank you so much for taking care of me and the children.

That must be the musicians to bring good luck to the hospital!

Director.

Seok Ran, I know what you're going to say.

But right now, I want to watch them.

It's like they're sending me off.

- But I know it's not. - It's one of Korea's traditions.

It is done on the first day of the full moon, and goes from house to house.

It is to bring good fortune and health to the families.

I feel like they're giving me good fortune too.

I wish all of the staff and patients of Jejoongwon the best of fortune.

Let's go dance too!

I'm all right.

Seok Ran is a good woman.

Yes.

Mr. Hwang, you must continue to help her.

Yes, Doctor.

Jejoongwon's accounts are in a mess!

This is a hospital, not a party.

Tell the musicians to not come here again.

Yes... They won't come back this year,

... but I will make sure they never come back.

I also don't understand why we are using dancing girls are nurses.

Those girls are the life of our Jejoongwon!

The patients love them, and they're the life of the party!

Yes... I understand your point, Director.

But they were sent to us by His Majesty.

Even Dr. Allen had no choice.

It appears the medical students have almost completed their studies.

We will need to determine the ranking of the students.

But before that, I will need to pick a medical assistant.

A medical assistant? Yes.

You must choose an intelligent and dedicated assistant.

Yes, of course!

How Jejoongwon has suffered under the current assistant!

You must choose a proper and suitable assistant this time!

~ My love, my love, Oh my love...~

Where did they get more wine? I'll going to...!

But she sounds so good! I don't know why he wants them gone.

That Dr. Heron is a surly fellow!

You love everything that is connected with wine.

That is the great joy of life, don't you think?

Mr. Hwang! Where are you going?

I'm going to help Dr. Allen pack his belongings.

Why don't you follow him back to America?

You've been under Allen's protection all this time.

Now that Heron is the new Director,

... he will return things to the way they should be!

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.

Dr. Heron is a great doctor.

How dare you presume to judge your superior?

- How dare you be so rude? - Here now... Let us go stop that singing.

Prepare yourself!

~ He is my love... my love... He is my love! ~

Be quiet! How dare you be so loud?

They finished the whole bottle!

Administrators! Come have a drink with us!

Oh dear, it's all gone!

Chunshim, we're out of wine!

I know!

You have no respect for your elders!

How can you drink by yourselves?

Administrator Baek, what are you doing? Please get up.

You'll be punished severely tomorrow morning. Let us go.

You should have a drink before you punish us.

Do you want a taste of this when we mix it with some ginger tea?

Is... is that wine?

It has a fine bouquet once mixed with the tea.

If that's mixed with ginger tea,

... one might... might find the cinnamon flavor...

Slowly slowly...

What is this?

It's my medical journal while I was at Jejoongwon.

I wrote down my experiences with the hospital...

... as well as interesting articles from the Lancet.

I wrote it to help with the treatment of patients.

I want to give it to you.

Director...

Oh, Mr. Hwang.

Please pass this to Seok Ran.

I took it a while ago, but forgot to give it to her.

Ah.. Miss Yu.

Father told me to see you off.

Thank you.

Miss Yu, I will miss you.

I will miss you, too.

Well now...

I... I can't afford to pay you.

He is not a man that cares about that.

A doctor that turns away patients for lack of money is not a doctor.

I just want one thing from you.

A doctor must never turn anyone away.

That is a doctor's creed.

I understand.

From this moment onwards, you are my medical assistant.

From now on, you are Jejoongwon's medical assistant.

You will learn how to make medicine and treat sick patients.

This must become your new home.

Now we will accept our first patient!

Congratulations, Mr. Hwang.

Goodbye!

Have a safe trip!

His departure is so sudden.

Yes...

Miss...

I should have told you from the very beginning.

- I am... - You...

You don't have to say anything.

Are you free after work?

- Director. - Is everyone here?

I'm sorry. Not everyone is here.

Oh no!

The administrators are passed out!

Jae Wook! What's wrong? Are you all right?

I don't know. You need to go in.

Oh my head...!

I'm going to die!

What happened here? Uncle!

We mixed ethanol in the ginger tea...

What? Ethanol?

This isn't ethanol. This is methanol.

If you ingest this, it turns into formaldehyde...

... and that causes the body to stiffen up.

More serious side effects include blindness and death.

Formaldehyde? Isn't that used for preserving organs?

That's right.

Uncle!

We have to make them vomit. Nang Nang, go and get a basin!

- Yes sir! - No. Find me some ethanol.

Ethanol?

Here.

- Feed this to him. - Why are you giving them more alcohol?

It will neutralize the formaldehyde.

Uncle.

The ladies had been drinking before the methanol.

- Is that why they're less sick? - What?

The Administrators came late and only drank the methanol.

Yes, that's probably why.

Then we have to shake them so it mixes well!

How ironic.

Defeat a foreigner with a foreigner.

Well, alcohol was defeated by alcohol!

Let's leave this to the nurses and gather in the courtyard.

- I'm not a nurse. - Me neither.

The three of you are nurses from now on.

What?

If you don't want to, that's fine.

- No! - I'll do it.

What about Shilhwa and Chunshim?

They used medical supplies without approval.

They will have to leave once they recover.

There goes the irony.

That foreigner Heron got rid of the foreigner Allen.

In one blow!

I will say only one thing.

And that is devotion.

Everyone here must devote themselves to the patients.

If there is anyone here that is not prepared to dedicate himself fully...

You may leave this very moment. Or I will tell you to leave.

This is the first meeting with me as the new Director.

- Where have you been? - Please forgive us.

We went to send off Dr. Allen.

Was that so important? Enough to miss the first meeting?

I am very sorry.

All students will have night duties in rotation.

The patient may fall sick at any time with any sickness or disease.

Furthermore, the patient may see treatment here at any time.

That is why we must always be prepared and on the standby.

- Over there? - No.

- What about these people? - No!

Don't you have any really crude-looking people?

Yes...

Oh, over there.

One two three!

Do you have anyone that looks more crude and lowborn?

I do!

One two three!

That's enough. Next!

My soul... won't be sucked out, right?

Don't worry about that.

One two three!

You certainly chose the most pathetic of all the people in Korea!

That is how we will show Korea as a backwards and crude country!

You are right.

In addition, you should show the Korean King as ineffective and weak.

True, true!

We really need to take his picture too.

- Oh, here you are. - I'm sorry for being late.

It's all right.

Sorry for the delay. Go back and get some rest.

Yes. I did the rotations just now and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

All right.

And... Mr. Goh...

I need to go somewhere...

Where?

Dr. Heron told us to report our whereabouts.

Well...

You're so naive! Just say you're going to a friend's house.

How are you going to get with Seok Ran?

I'm not...!

- It's not like that! - Fine. You should get going.

Thank you... I mean I'll see you later.

Don't thank me. Just invite me to your wedding.

- I said it's not like that! - My love, oh my love!

What is all this?

When Dr. Allen first came to Hansung, he gave me these fireworks as a present.

Fireworks?

If you set these on fire, the skies will light up with stars.

Don't tease me.

It's true!

You're not aware of this,

... but these fireworks were the reason I found you at the riverbed.

That means these fireworks saved my life!

Yes.

I left them here that night in my haste,

... but Mak Saeng brought them the next day.

But why are we...?

I thought of them while we were sending Dr. Allen off.

I felt like we should set them off together.

I feel like they didn't work that night...

... so that we could set them off together tonight.

Make a wish.

Maybe they're too old.

No, maybe I didn't make the wick properly.

How pretty!

I'm sorry...

The ground is cold.

Yes, it is.

Do you want to shake hands?

Did you make a wish?

I didn't make a wish the first time because the fireworks startled me.

But for the next one, I made a wish.

What was your wish?

Please tell me. I'll tell you mine.

You know how I wanted to tell you something just now?

Yes.

I wished that it would forever remain a secret.

Perhaps I am being too greedy when I don't deserve to be.

No, you're not.

My wish was the same as your wish.

It was not in our destiny to be nurses.

That's right. We should do what we were born to do.

If I knew methanol was that dangerous, I should have given it to that cow.

- Do you have a deathwish, pig? - What? Pig?

Yeah, pig!

You bald weasel!

Pig! Get him!

Why are those foreign thugs fighting in our country?

Let's go!

You ladies better take note that...

... the old ways of working won't be accepted here!

It'll be the boot for you! Got it?

Yes, ma'am.

Why aren't you answering me? Am I talking gibberish?

Yes, you're talking gibberish.

Do you know anything about being a nurse?

Do you still think you're in control here?

- Why are you being so mean to her? - Get out of my way!

- You better not grab my hair! - I was just reaching for it!

- Come here right now! - We have patients!

Move all the regular patients into the women's rooms.

Move them quickly!

Why are those stupid foreigners fighting in our country and troubling us?

Come quickly!

My stomach is hurting again because I'm upset!

Why are they making so much noise! Administrator Oh.

We really should move to the VIP room.

How can we be in the same room as commoners?

We can't do that, Administrator Baek!

If we do that, Heron will really have it in for us.

We must keep our heads down and we shouldn't drink for the time being.

Oh, my head...

- How do you feel today? - I feel like dying!

Director.

I transferred the patients in order to better treat the wounded soldiers.

We have yet to recover,

... but we will move to other rooms for the sake of the new patients.

Mr. Goh, let me down.

Even though I may die, I must dedicate myself.

Oh my head!

I really shouldn't be so weak...

I will order the students and nurses to treat the wounded soldiers.

All the students who know how to do sutures will come to the operating room.

- None of his blood vessels are torn. - Sew him up.

Why are you only treating the Qing soldiers?

We are going by severity of the wounds.

Who cares if they live or die?

- Treat me first! - If you treat the pigs, you will pay!

- What? Pig? - What is the meaning of this!

Silence!

Cause any more trouble, and you're be kicked out!

- He didn't see us, right? - Yes.

Why aren't you inside the operating room?

I hate the Qing and the Japanese.

They should have killed each other! Why did they have to crawl here?

I know! We are thinking along the same lines!

Don't you think Dr. Heron is far more handsome than Dr. Allen?

Oh, it is my...

Miryung, it has been a long time.

Where are my patients?

This is all I have...

I'll bring the money! I swear I'll bring it!

Doctor!

I brought the money!

I've sterilized the wound but...

- They've run out of ointment. - Is that so?

Then let us move the patients to our hospital.

- Director! - What is it?

- I think I know someone here. - Is that so?

You seem to have a wide base of acquaintances.

Let us leave!

Father said that it would be at least two weeks...

... before the medical supplies arrive.

Does someone not have an inventory that pre-orders supplies before they run out?

Isn't that your job, Administrators?

This is not the time to point fingers, Director.

Qing is closely allied with the Queen's nephew, Lord Min.

If we turn them away without treatment,

... who knows what the repercussions will be.

- We won't turn them away. - I... I think I may have a solution.

- Dr. Allen... - Allen?

He wrote in his journal about how to handle situations such as this.

He read it in the Lancet.

An English doctor saw the African natives put dirt on the wounds and did the same thing.

Dirt? What are you talking about?

Are you suggesting we put dirt on the Qing soldiers?

Do you want to see Jejoongwon ruined?

It may have been written in the Lancet, but that's not a good solution.

No, I wrote my thesis about mixing medicine with dirt.

There is some potential in treating them with dirt.

But how can any dirt be usable?

We don't know if the dirt here can be used.

We can use yellow soil!

I once saw someone put dirt on an animal's wound to treat it.

There are many types of yellow soil,

... but I heard Donghwang soil is the best for wounds.

So why don't we go to the animal caretakers...

...and find out where to get the Donghwang soil?

Are you suggesting we use this soil used for animals to treat people?

Director, I apologize for the low standards of our students at Jejoongwon.

I will go get more ointment.

I am sure the Japanese hospital will give me some.

That's right! They will surely give Mr. Baek the ointment!

Since Dr. Watanabe saw our situation here,

... I am certain he will help us.

- Mr. Baek, go and get the medicine. - Yes, Director.

Mr. Baek, we are sorry to trouble you. Mr. Hwang, you should remain silent!

That's my point exactly!

No, we should try and get the dirt too just in case.

Yes, Director!

Are you sure?

When I saw the gatekeeper, I was uncertain.

But the student in the operating room...

That man...

- He is a butcher? - Yes!

He came to our hospital with his mother on his back.

- Oh... the woman with pleuritis! - Yes!

No wonder that Hwang Jung looked familiar to me!

What an interesting situation!

I, the Hippocrates of Imperial Japan, was duped by a lowly butcher!

There is a strong energy pulling me in this area!

Really?

You are so multi-talented, Yi Gwak!

It's just that I don't excel in anything,

... but I'm proficient in just about everything.

All right, let's put our faith in you!

If we don't find the Donghwang soil right here,

I will tear out my organs with my own hands!

Wait!

Was I right?

I'm telling the truth!

We're really out of medicine!

Then what was it that I saw just now?

Well...

That was the last of it! We no longer have any medicine left!

In any case, Qing soldiers don't usually use medicine,

... so I'm sure they'll be fine without it.

You know that fellow Hwang Jung...

Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?

No reason. I just noticed that his skill has improved.

This is no good. If Qing finds out we didn't treat their men...

... the effect will most certainly reach His Majesty.

I'll ride to Jaemulpo.

I think the hospital there may have supplies.

Really?

Our Do Yang is working so hard for Jejoongwon.

But I don't know where that fool Hwang is up to!

- Director! - You may enter.

I brought the Dongan soil.

I brought it here just in case.

The quality is good enough for us to use.

I really doubt that's the solution.

But Administrator Baek,

... we need to at least create the illusion that we are treating them.

I think it's ready.

- Miss, I think I can handle this. - You want to have fun all by yourself?

Don't be so selfish!

I'm sorry!

- Oh dear, I didn't mean to... - What did you do?

I'm sorry.

You know the saying "Pay for a pig and receive a horse"?

Young Master.

- Are you sure that's not muddy water? - Of course not.

This is special medicine used for soldiers.

Then what is the name of this medicine?

- Well... - It's called Tera Firma.

That's what Dr. Allen called it.

- Yes, that's right. It's Tera... - It's called Tera Firma.

This medicine absorbs pus and removes toxins.

Mr. Hwang.

Good work obtaining the Tera Firma.

I knew you were going to get commended.

Do Yang...! Does this suit me?

It has already been over a week since I came here to Jejoongwon.

I'm now familiar with how it is run.

That is why I am going to choose an assistant...

... to represent all of you and treat patients.

- This is Dr. Allen's student assessment. - Allen?

It includes the reason why you entered Jejoongwon...

... as well as his assessment of your skills.

I have decided to choose my assistant based on his assessment...

... as well as my observations these past few days.

- No doubt it'll be Mr. Hwang! - It's a sure thing.

You're lucky, man. Your assessment will be the best.

Please don't say that.

That Allen is certainly too much.

Why did he have to leave that thing behind?

Director!

Director Heron!

I want to be your assistant.

I told you I will choose the most suitable candidate.

And I'm saying I want to do it. I can do a good job.

I have no intention of making you my assistant.

Wait!

I know Dr. Allen's assessment on me will not be favorable.

- It will make you biased against... - No.

Dr. Allen's assessment of you was good.

But I feel differently.

What do you mean...?

Mr. Baek, you are a nobleman. It is in your blood.

Someone like you can never dedicate himself to his colleagues and his patients.

I have observed you for the past week. You are exceptional in many ways.

But you are always above your colleagues and your patients.

If such a man becomes the assistant, everyone will suffer.

I will change.

You were born into a family of noble blood.

You will not be able to change so easily.

I will change.

Please give me some time. I'll change little by little.

Why should I wait until you change?

I will begin treating patients tomorrow,

... and I need an assistant beside me at that time.

You are a nobleman. It is in your blood.

Someone like you can never dedicate himself to his colleagues and his patients.

You are exceptional in many ways.

But you are always above your colleagues and your patients.

Director! Director Heron!

- Who is it? - It is Baek Do Yang.

Mr. Baek...

There is only one trick to riding a bicycle.

It's turning the handle towards the direction you are falling.

Someone asked me to give this to you.

What has my husband done to be taken away like this?

- He's been framed. - There is no way to prove that.

Father!

Don't worry. I'm innocent and will be released!

Can't you say that you ordered it?

Once he's transferred to the Bureau, there is no turning back.

All we have to do is get his testimony!
