[Episode 64]

"A patient's... will to get better is..."

"...more important than any medicine."

One thousand!

Doctor Heo!

Wake up!

Take him to the clinic.

On my back!

As long as one doesn't accept money,

I'll permit royal physicians to treat patients outside the palace.

But sir, the law...

I will take the responsibility.

Select two royal physicians in good standing

and send them to the public hospital.

Yes, sir.

Sir, please send me to the public hospital.

Permission granted.

This happened because you failed to manage the public hospital properly.

If you aren't treating patients because you are the highest ranking,

I will personally punish you two.

Bring alcohol and taffy.

Yes, sir.

He must have gotten the message. He'll never do anything foolish again.

Do you think he'll back off now?

What else can he do?

He is the one who got punished for wrongdoing.

All of us owe you a great deal, sir.

If you didn't dig up dirt on him, we'd be starving on the streets.

If you are thankful, show me a good time at the courtesan house.

Of course, sir.

We should also invite Doctor Kim and Doctor Song, too.

Let's go!

Will he be all right?

His pulse is weak.

You fool, why did you do it?

We'll have to wait and see.

Some will have to stay and care for him.

I'll do it.

All right.

Don't leave his side. Let me know if something happens.

I will.

Let's go.

I have to step outside. Look after Doctor Heo while I'm gone.

Okay.

If anything happens, go straight to Doctor Kim.

Don't worry.

- Oh, Lady Ye-jin! - Lady Ye-jin!

Look who it is. If it isn't Lady Ye-jin!

It's been a long time.

So it has! What brings you here?

Come out, see who's here!

I'm currently working as a nurse alongside Doctor Heo.

I came with the message that Doctor Heo will have to do a few more nightshifts.

The public hospital is a very hectic place.

This is very common there, so please don't worry.

What a hassle. It's not like he's getting extra pay.

You know Jun wouldn't work for extra money.

If he can't come home for a few days, he'll need extra clothes.

I already have that ready.

Please give this to my husband.

Sure.

Good thing I ran into you. I've been wanting to see you.

Have you been well?

Well?

I wish I could show you my bruised heart.

It's downright black and blue with worry!

What have I ever done to you to deserve this torture from you?

Do you know how much Do-ji is suffering?

If he does anything drastic for you, I will not forgive you, understand?

Let's go.

Yes, ma'am.

- Lady Ye-jin. - Are you okay?

I'm fine, you can go.

Well? Hurry along!

- Coming! - Yes, ma'am!

I need to talk to Lady Ye-jin. Will you call her for me?

She is not at the quarters right now.

What? Why not?

She is caring for a patient at the sick ward.

But shouldn't it be closed? She works to this late hour?

Well, he is not just any patient.

Doctor Heo. Are you awake?

Where am I?

The public hospital sick ward.

You have been unconscious for a day.

You shouldn't move yet.

I'm all right.

Doctor Yang said as long as they don't receive money,

royal physicians may treat patients privately.

And he vowed to reform the public hospital.

He was very moved by your strong will.

It wasn't mine. It was the will of my teacher.

Should I call Ye-jin for you?

No, it's all right.

Do you know what kind of relationship they have?

She worked with him when she was living in Saneum.

And...

Go on.

She's had dear feelings for him a long time.

Thanks for your help. You may go now.

Yes, sir.

I feel much better. I should go look at the patients.

You can't. You need more rest.

I'm fine.

Are you trying to be stubborn again?

People say I am a stubborn ox, but I'm nothing compared to you.

Not just that. He's so strict and square.

No wonder Doctor Yang was so moved.

Nobody else could have done what you did.

How are you?

I feel much better now.

I got the best ingredients to make your tonic.

You won't find anything better. Be sure to take it.

Thank you.

Sir, do you know how Doctor Yang found out about him treating patients?

The record office chief and a tonic room assistant were digging dirt on Doctor Heo.

They took the information straight to Doctor Song and Doctor Kim.

I heard them discussing their scheme in the storeroom.

They did this to stop Doctor Heo from interfering in their corrupt activities.

Those rats!

What Doctor Heo did was just!

How dirty of them to pull this trick on an honest man.

I should just kill them!

Sir, please calm down.

Rats like them deserve to be beaten!

Sir, if we do the right thing, I'm sure they'll understand someday.

Sir, there's a sudden flood of patients!

What patients?

They are mostly children.

They have high fevers and rashes on their faces.

Let's go.

You should rest.

I'm fine.

Goodness.

Hong-choon.

What is it?

It's me, Lim Oh-keun.

Lim Oh-keun.

Means "five roots."

Who cares what your name is?

I sent you something. Didn't you get it?

Hong-choon, from the first time I saw you...

I don't have time to talk to you.

What?

Hong-choon!

Hong-choon!

Hurry!

- Please help my child. - Doctor, Doctor!

One moment.

My goodness.

Doctor.

Help us.

What do you think?

It's the measles.

I agree with you.

Have the tonic room prepare the seungma-galgeun-tang.

Yes, sir. Go to the tonic room.

Yes, ma'am.

Eon-nyeon! Why are you crying?

My baby, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?

Oh, gosh! Eon-nyeon! What's wrong?

Eon-nyun!

Help! Look at my daughter! My daughter!

What's wrong with her?

We had better hurry to the clinic.

Have you sent for Il-seo?

No.

Take Eon-nyeon to the clinic. I'll contact him.

Okay, okay.

My poor baby.

Eon-nyeon.

Oh my goodness!

Move, move!

Eon-nyeon!

Why's the line so long?

Eon-nyeon! Eon-nyeon!

Husband!

What's wrong with her?

She's totally out of it!

Why's she like this?

I'll go get a ticket.

Go, go!

Eon-nyeon! Why's the line so long?

My baby's in the most pain. Let's move along!

I am here with a patient.

Who is the patient?

My neighbor's daughter.

Go to the back and wait for your turn.

When will she be able to be treated?

I don't know if she can be treated today.

Come over here.

I can give you a faster ticket.

Just pay me five coins.

How can you do this to sick people?

Why do you yell at me when you don't even have the money!

What a rotten day!

- What happened to her? - How should I know?

Did you get a ticket?

We have to wait.

- What? - What?

Wait? But she's knocked out! We can't wait.

Did you tell them that we're Doctor Heo's family?

Why didn't you tell them?

Yang-tae, come with me.

- No, you can't! - What? Why not?

I can't use my husband's name to get a faster ticket.

But Milady!

What are you talking about?

There's nothing wrong in taking advantage at times like these!

Yang-tae, come on.

Get in line!

Excuse me.

What?

Do you know Doctor Heo Jun?

Doctor Heo.

Lady Ye-jin.

- What are you doing here? - Eon-nyeon is sick, so we're all here.

She is about to die. You have to help her.

She has a high fever and rashes.

It must be the measles. Bring them here at once.

Thank you.

No.

Wait.

- What? - What do you mean, wait?

She's about to die!

What do you mean?

The patients here are just as important.

Everyone is waiting for their turn. My family can't be an exception.

How could you do this to me!

Wait your turn.

Doctor Heo! Doctor Heo!

Doctor Heo!

Unbelievable!

Doctor Heo!

He's so sick.

Have him drink this tonic.

Yang-tae, how could he do this to me? When Eon-nyeon is dying?

You were willing to give him everything. How do you feel now?

Shut up.

If something goes wrong, I won't forgive him.

We'll all die together, understand?

Shut up! You're making things worse.

Come back if the fever returns.

Thank you. Let's go.

You're good.

He has an illness causing pain in the bellybutton and an inability to urinate.

Put salt on his bellybutton and perform moxibustion.

Yes, sir.

Take him to the ward.

My Eon-nyeon! My daughter!

Hurry, take a look at Eon-nyeon.

How is my daughter?

Don't worry, the treatment will cure her.

Oh my, oh my.

My goodness.

Gosh.

You're okay, Eon-nyeon. Scared me silly.

My goodness.

Sir, I have big news!

What is it?

Lady Kong-bin is about to go into labor.

What?

She still has a month until she is due.

Your Highness.

What is going on? Why is she going into labor?

I have no idea, sir.

You are the lady's chief physician. If you don't know, who does?

Were you correct in calculating the lady's due date?

I am sure of it, sir.

Is it a miscarriage...?

Silence! How dare you say such a thing?

Have you come, sir?

How is she doing?

There are signs of a breech delivery.

And the lady's amniotic fluid is bluish with a foul odor.

The fluid is supposed to be clear with no color.

How can something like this happen?

We can't figure out what is happening.

Her fluid broke but she is not yet in labor pain.

Everything seems to be pointing that something is seriously wrong.

It could be a problem with the unborn baby.

The chief lady of the Grand Hall is here.

What is going on? His Majesty sent me to find out.

Sir, don't be too concerned. Doctor Yang can solve any problem.

Don't be foolish.

Didn't you see how worried he looked?

Since only nurses and women handle labor,

we doctors have very little experience.

A midwife in a country village may have better skills than us.

Didn't you notice anything throughout her pregnancy?

How could you let something like this happen?

She is in critical condition, and you don't even have a clue!

It makes no sense!

Bring Chief Nurse Hong-choon from the public hospital.

Sir!

The royal labor room has no better nurse than her.

Please reconsider.

She once prescribed the wrong medicine and nearly killed a patient.

If you call her back here, she could make the same mistake again.

If that happens, you will be held responsible.

Ma'am! It's terrible!

Lady Kong-bin has lost consciousness!

Let's go.

If the baby dies, you are as good as dead!

Seems Yu Do-ji is the threat, not Heo Jun.

Arrest them and search the premises!

Yes, sir!

Are you the ones who smuggled out herbs?

Sir, please save me!

What is it?

It seems like impetigo.

Why do you have blisters?
