(Thank You Doctor)

(Adapted from Sheng Li's novel "ICU 48 Hours")

(Episode 12)

Okay, thank you.

Ying Ying.

Don't say things like that to other people.

No matter what, he's your biological dad.

He still loves you.

Why won't you let me eat?

The doctor said you can't eat and drink yet.

Only infusion for now.

If we do as they say,

everyone on Earth will die.

You don't trust doctors at all. Why are you still here?

What did you say?

Don't be mad. Don't get angry.

Ying Ying. Don't talk to your dad like that.

Am I wrong?

When I'm discharged,

I'll teach you a lesson.

Ying Ying.

Leave us.

She...

It's all thanks to you. You sure taught her well.

I'm hungry.

Bring me something to eat.

The doctor said that you can't.

I can't eat and drink.

Do you want me to die?

Do you want to starve...

Do you want to starve me to death?

Don't panic.

Why aren't you in there?

I don't want to see that person.

Doctor!

Doctor! Dr. Bai!

- What's wrong? - Ma'am, please step outside.

Ma'am, this way.

The oxygen saturation is so low.

Put the oxygen mask on.

Diprophylline IV infusion at 0.25mg. Methylprednisolone, 40 mg.

Do a blood gas test again later.

When he has stabilized, do another chest CT scan.

Okay.

- How is it? - His breathing is really low.

Jaundice?

Is there a problem with his liver?

Check his liver function again.

Hello, this is Xiao Yan.

Yes.

Dr. Wu said

you used to be close to him.

Yes, Zhi Yuan is already...

It's okay.

Here's the thing. I'd like to ask you about a place.

Do you know Smoky Alley?

Yes. That's where he used to live.

Can you please try to recall?

It's okay.

Thank you.

Just to be clear,

I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call.

But...

I did hear a familiar name.

You know Smoky Alley?

I didn't know you knew.

Can you write down...

that address for me?

I just finished my shift. I'll take you there.

This is Smoky Alley.

I've been here before.

Isn't this called Well Alley?

Trust me.

My brother and sister-in-law...

used to live here.

When I was in school, I used to play here at their place.

An old lady used to live there.

She was really nice and friendly.

She always invited me to eat at her house.

Maybe it's because she was old?

She used to call this place Smoky Alley.

The old lady passed away.

No one has ever called it Smoky Alley again.

Only the ones who have lived here would know.

That old lady,

does she have any other relatives?

She mentioned it a long time ago.

I think she has a grandson.

He's about my age. But I've never met him.

I think she said he left the country a long time ago.

She's Zhi Yuan's grandma.

What?

The yard is quite clean.

Someone must have cleaned it.

I'll ask around.

See if anyone can reach the owner.

(Shuijing Lane 190)

(Keysmith)

I also have a puppy.

His name is also Ron.

I'm Ron One.

This is Ron Two.

I talked to some of the neighbors.

They...

Dr. Xiao, what's wrong?

It's nothing.

Come to think of it,

a friend of mine...

used to have a dog like that.

I know why you returned to Shanghai?

Why?

To look for an old friend.

I want to rent this place.

I asked some neighbors just now.

They can't reach the owner.

But one of them said...

the owner might have put the house up online for rent.

You can check online.

I found the owner's information online.

I'll call her later.

Dr. Xiao.

You're totally different from what I expected.

In what way?

It's the hospital.

Dr. Bai.

The test results are out.

The prothrombin time is too high.

Elevated alanine transaminase.

Serum cholinesterase...

is slightly lowered.

Blood gas analysis...

Oxygen saturation is 52.

CO2 saturation is 38.

Lactic acid is 4.1.

Chest CT scan...

Pulmonary interstitial changes.

It's liver failure.

It's also respiratory failure.

But does uremia trigger liver failure?

I don't think it's uremia.

The progression of uremia can't be that fast.

The progression of the disease isn't like this either.

Then what disease is this?

Poisoning.

Rat poison.

Organophosphorus?

He's a heavy drinker.

I make him do a health check-up once a year.

He just had one six months ago.

His liver and kidneys are fine. They're all normal.

Has he had jaundice,

or purpura?

No. I didn't notice any marks on him.

Have you used rat poison at home recently?

No.

Didn't he take Chinese medicine?

Could it be related to that?

Do you have the prescription?

Yes.

We'll take a look at this prescription.

If there's anything wrong with the patient,

ask the nurses to call for us.

Sure. Thank you.

Thank you.

Ying Ying. Where are you going?

He told me to get him alcohol.

No. The doctor said he can't drink.

I'll talk to him.

Mom, don't go in.

He'll scold you if you go in.

It's fine. He's your dad.

Mom.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you.

How is it?

Dr. Qin said...

these are all ordinary Chinese herbs.

There's no way they can cause such a huge reaction.

It has nothing to do with this.

How troublesome.

What's the next step?

Let's treat him according to his symptoms first.

It'll slow down his liver failure.

Also, keep working on the auxiliary tests.

See if you can find anything.

Sure, I guess that's the only way.

Dr. Xiao.

Dr. Bai.

I heard you took in a patient possibly suffering from uremia.

But you can't find the cause.

Yes, after we got the test results,

we found out he has liver failure.

But I don't think he has uremia.

Did the patient come in contact with rat poison?

We already ruled that out.

I don't think it's rat poison.

They are still doing a full examination on the patient.

I hope we can find the cause soon.

Could it be paraquat dichloride poisoning?

Paraquat dichloride?

Multiple organ failure.

That's right. I'll talk to you later.

Paraquat dichloride.

What got you so worked up?

I mean Zhang Jin Shan might have paraquat dichloride poisoning.

- What? - Think about it.

Kidney failure, liver failure, and progressive respiratory failure.

Aren't they all symptoms of paraquat dichloride poisoning?

You're right.

At this point, there is no antidote...

for paraquat dichloride poisoning.

The mortality rate is 90 percent.

- He's not a farmer. - All right, cut the nonsense.

We'll find out when we ask them.

Okay.

Paraquat dichloride?

Why would I use that for no reason?

Do you have any at home?

No. We sell steamed buns.

We've never had anything like that.

Miss, what about you?

Have you handled it?

I've never heard of it.

Doctor.

Why would I get...

paraquat dichloride poisoning for no reason?

We're not sure yet.

We need to do a urine sample,

and run a paraquat dichloride concentration test.

It's best if that's not the cause.

How did you come up with paraquat dichloride poisoning?

Take a guess.

They said they have never handled it.

Is there any other possibility?

We'll know when we get the results.

Chen Zhi.

Take the urine sample to the lab.

Ask them to give us the results as soon as possible.

Okay.

I'm going to the toilet.

Wait here. Don't go anywhere.

It's useless for you to stay here.

I don't have any urine yet.

It's okay. Take your time.

Don't worry.

You're stable now.

We'll monitor you for the night, and if there are no other problems,

you can go home.

Thank you, Doctor.

Dr. Qin. Please run a test for me now.

The patient might be poisoned by paraquat dichloride.

It's urgent.

Please wait for a moment. I'll do it after I'm done with this.

Dr. Qin. I'll leave it here for now.

I'm going to the restroom.

Okay.

Why isn't the result ready yet?

I guess the lab must be busy?

Hello? What's taking you so long?

We lost the urine sample.

When I came over, the urine sample was gone.

I put the urine sample right here.

Then I went to the toilet.

How could it not be there?

Why do you always make such basic mistakes?

Dr. Xu, I really put it here.

If you had left it there, could it fly off,

or be drunk by someone?

What else can you do?

I'm sorry, Dr. Xu.

All right. Get another sample from the patient.

- Okay. - Wait.

I'll go with you.

Hurry up.

Do I have to pee again?

Didn't you just get a urine sample?

Why do I have to pee again?

I...

We're doing this for your health.

We need to do another set of tests.

Doctor.

Do you have the results on the paraquat dichloride poisoning?

Soon. The results will be out soon.

Let's take this urine sample first.

Ma'am, please step out.

Okay.

There's something fishy about this.

Could someone have stolen the urine sample?

Why would someone steal it?

To water the plants?

I think someone doesn't want us to know...

the secret in the urine sample.

What?

What?

You'll see.

Ying Ying, where have you been?

I'm hungry. I went out to grab a bite.

All you do is run around.

Once I recover, see if I don't break your legs.

That is, if you do recover.

You...

Mom.

It's okay. Ying Ying.

- What's going on? - Nothing.

I'll just tidy up.

- Let me help you. - I'll do it.

How dare you glare at me?

(Testing body fluids, urine, stool)

The concentration of paraquat dichloride is 0.9.

For normal people, it should be negative.

But how did he come into contact with paraquat dichloride?

Come with me.

Stop.

Isn't that the patient's family?

Why her?

Why did she steal the urine sample?

It's obvious.

What does she want?

It's to prevent us from discovering paraquat dichloride in the patient.

Without the right cause, we can't treat the symptoms.

The patient's symptoms are getting worse.

It might result in death.

How did she know in advance...

that the patient has paraquat dichloride poisoning?

Could she have poisoned the patient?

No. The patient is her biological father.

How could she poison her own father?

You two must have a lot of time on your hands.

Why are you thinking so much?

Hello? I'm filing a police report.

Mom. Have a seat.

I pay for everything. How dare you make me angry?

Just watch when I beat you to death.

The patient's family? Please come with us.

What's the matter?

Dr. Bai would like to discuss the follow-up treatment.

Okay.

Aren't we discussing the follow-up treatment?

Why don't we talk in the ward?

Ying Ying.

You stole your dad's urine sample, didn't you?

Ying Ying has nothing to do with this.

Just ask me.

Excuse me. I was talking to her.

This must be you?

Ying Ying, you...

It's me.

Why did you do it?

I don't want him discharged.

I want him to stay here.

He's your dad.

Why don't you want him discharged?

I hate him.

Why?

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

Let me ask you.

How did you know there's paraquat dichloride in his urine?

Did you do something...

to expose him to paraquat dichloride?

I poisoned him.

You're suspected of poisoning him.

- I've called the police. - Don't arrest Ying Ying.

Let the police arrest me! It was me!

- It was me! - It was me.

I added paraquat dichloride to Jin Shan's Chinese medicine.

It has nothing to do with Ying Ying.

This is premeditated murder.

It really was me.

Mom.

Ying Ying.

I know how you feel.

But I can't get you into trouble.

Fine.

Then why did you do it?

I'm not Ying Ying's biological mother.

Ying Ying's mother died young.

When I married Jin Shan, she was only four years old.

Back then, Jin Shan owned a small factory.

Our family was doing fine.

But not long after that, the factory closed down.

We were heavily in debt.

Jin Shan broke down.

All he did was drink.

After drinking,

Jin Shan would beat me up.

For the past ten years,

I... I've never had a day without getting injured.

Once,

he broke my arm.

I was in the hospital for over a month.

That was it.

He even dared to hit me in front of the doctor.

Why didn't you call the police?

If I did, he'd get arrested.

But he'll be out in a couple of weeks.

He'd only hit me even worse when he got out.

Get a divorce.

Why don't you get a divorce?

Once, I signed a divorce agreement.

But he didn't say anything.

The next day, he came to my house and beat up my dad.

Yes. I can get a divorce and leave.

But what about my parents?

What about my relatives and friends?

So when did you decide to poison him?

Since the day he hit Ying Ying.

Although I'm Ying Ying's stepmom,

Ying Ying has always treated me like her own mother.

Every time Jin Shan hit me,

Ying Ying would protect me.

At first, Jin Shan still had some conscience.

He couldn't bear to hit Ying Ying.

But then one time, in order to protect me,

she accidentally hurt him.

He went crazy,

and beat Ying Ying until she had gastric hemorrhage.

Since then,

whenever he had some drinks,

he'd hit anyone...

that is an eyesore to him.

All these years, Ying Ying's injuries...

are no fewer than mine.

His leg hurt a lot a few days ago.

Then he took it out on Ying Ying.

Ying Ying argued with him,

and he rammed Ying Ying's head into the wall.

Ying Ying fainted.

That night,

I asked a friend who makes pesticides...

for a bottle of paraquat dichloride.

I said it was for weeding.

Ying Ying.

How did you know...

your dad was poisoned by paraquat dichloride?

A few days ago,

I saw my mom hide a bottle of paraquat dichloride.

Today, the doctor said...

that my dad might be poisoned by paraquat dichloride.

I knew then that my mom poisoned him.

Did she make you steal the urine sample?

My mom didn't know. It was my decision.

It was my decision.

By doing so, you'll kill your dad.

He's my dad. I don't want him to die.

I just want him...

to stay sick.

I want him hospitalized.

That way, he won't be able to hit my mom and me.

I want to see my dad again.

Ms. Chen.

Please step out for a while.

Okay.

The cause of your illness has been found.

Someone poisoned you with paraquat dichloride.

What?

What poison?

I did it.

No.

I did it.

You two poisoned me.

I...

I'll beat you both to death.

She... They poisoned me.

I'm calling the police.

I... I'm calling the police.

- Calm down. - I'm calling the police.

Our hospital has already called the police.

This...

Dad.

This is the last time I'll call you Dad.

For the past ten years, you've hit me and my mom.

As for the pain you've caused us,

I paid you back by poisoning you.

We don't owe each other anymore.

From now on,

we're no longer father and daughter.

Let's never meet again.

If you come to me and my mom again,

I'll make you pay for what you did to us.

Ying Ying.

You're amazing, Bai Zhu.

You even figured out it's paraquat dichloride.

You haven't told me how you found out.

This is the difference between us.

Li Chun and Zhang Ying Ying are taken away by the police.

I wonder how many years they will be sentenced to.

That's up to the law.

It's not something we doctors can control.

There's no one to care for Zhang Jin Shan now.

What will happen to him?

Get him a caregiver.

He has to pay for it himself.

You contacted me online to rent this place?

Hello. Yes, it's me.

Come and take a look.

You... How long do you plan to rent it for?

About a year?

Okay.

Let's take a look inside.

What do you think? If you like it,

we'll just sign the contract.

There's no commission either.

What about the things in this room?

I'll clean them out as soon as possible.

If you find anything suitable, you can keep them.

You can stay here after tidying up.

Thank you.

Hello?

I saw your message online.

I'd like to book a cleaning service.

It's all cleaned up.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

If you're satisfied with my service,

just contact us again for our services.

We'll come to your house very quickly.

Okay.

- I'll get going then. - Thank you.

Ma'am. Can you hear me?

You're in the hospital. Do you understand?

Yes.

Let me examine you.

Where do you feel unwell now?

Where does it hurt?

- Does it hurt here? - Yes.

It hurts here? Okay.

- Does it hurt here? - Yes.

It hurts?

What about here?

Yes.

Does it hurt here?

Considering the patient's combined thoracoabdominal injuries,

and hemorrhagic shock, give her one gram of tranexamic acid...

through the IV. Prepare for POCUS.

Request urgently for five units of erythrocyte suspension.

- Keep the patient warm. - Okay.

The girl who got hit by the car,

she nearly got run over again lying on the road.

He stopped a car to save her.

Luckily, the driver pulled the brakes just in time.

It didn't hit him too hard. But he's still unconscious.

We ran an EKG on him in the ambulance.

Okay, thank you.

His EKG is normal.

Wake up. Can you hear me? Wake up!

Blood pressure is 176 over 100.

Help me hold down the patient.

There's a sign of anisocoria. Sluggish pupillary light reaction.

Possible brain damage. Prepare for intubation.

- Send him for a CT scan. - Okay. Get ready.

Dr. Bai.

There's a lot of fluid in the chest and abdomen.

Prepare for closed chest drainage.

Call Thoracic and General Surgery for consulting.

Contact the CT scan and operating room.

Okay.

Excuse me. Where's the girl from the car accident?

- I don't know. - She doesn't know.

This is... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you Zhou Wen Lu's family?

Yes. How's my daughter?

The patient was hit by a car. She's in shock.

As for the details, we need to run more tests.

- Please do a thorough checkup. - Sure.

Please wait outside.

- Let's go. - We can't wait.

Let's go.

It's a left subdural hematoma.

Midline shifted to the right. Possible brain herniation.

Give him mannitol to lower brain pressure.

Call Neurosurgery right away. to prepare for surgery.

Okay.

This patient was injured in a car accident.

We found out after the ultrasound.

There's a lot of fluid in the chest and abdominal cavities.

After the closed chest drainage and dilatancy,

her blood pressure is stable.

We'll need to do a laparotomy...

to check for spleen rupture and hemorrhage.

The OR is ready.

Take a CT scan immediately.

Take him straight to the OR.

The closed chest drainage is blood tinged, but not a lot.

Let's wait till we get the CT scan.

Do the abdominal surgery first.

Dr. Xiao. The brain surgeon is here.

But there's only one available OR at the moment.

Dr. Bai also applied for an emergency surgery.

- Doctor. - Doctor!

Why is she gone?

Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?

Dr. Bai, there's only one OR available at the moment.

I heard you applied for it.

My patient is quite serious.

He needs surgery as soon as possible.

My patient is also in a serious condition.

She went into hemorrhagic shock due to a car accident.

Possible spleen rupture and hemorrhage.

Mine has left subdural hematoma.

Possible brain herniation.

We got a call from the OR.

An appendectomy patient will be done in about half an hour.

He'll make room for us.

Well, you can go first.

My patient needs another checkup before her surgery.

It should take about 30 minutes.

Thank you, Dr. Bai.

Take the patient to the operating room.

But we haven't been able to contact his family yet.

- Should we wait? - There's no time.

He needs surgery right away.

Okay. I'll call the medical department.

This is...

- Nurse! - Nurse!

- Is this my daughter's report? - What does the report say?

Family members, please wait outside.

Wait? That's all you can say, right?

- Please calm down. - You didn't want us to be in there.

- Now, the report is out. - That's right!

- You still want us to wait? - Don't get so worked up.

What's going on in there? You have to let us know.

Calm down. What's going on?

Dr. Bai, they are Zhou Wen Lu's family.

This is her medical report.

What's going on in there?

The patient has large quantities...

of fluids in her chest and abdominal cavities...

due to the car accident. She needs immediate surgery.

What? Wasn't she fine just now?

Why does she need surgery now?

That's right. How will you treat her?

We want to know too.

You can't delay treatment for my daughter!

Who are you to take the report?

- You... - How could you say that?

- What attitude is that? - I can get someone to read it!

Let's talk over there.

What attitude is that? What do you mean over there?

- What attitude is that? - Explain clearly. What's going on?

This is Dr. Bai, the best attending physician...

in our hospital.

The most important thing now is to get your daughter treated, right?

Please cooperate with us.

Even if he's a famous doctor, he can't behave like this!

He needs to tell us what's going on.

The operation room is now available.

Send the patient there now.

Thank you.

We have the right to know.

Don't worry.

Well...

What's taking them so long?

Why aren't they out yet?

It's all my fault.

My fault.

Can you stop nagging?

If it weren't for you who kept nagging,

why would Wen Lu head out before finishing her meal?

Would she end up like this?

Didn't I do it for her own good?

For her own good? You forced her every day...

to go on blind dates with those random guys.

You did it for her own good?

She's 30 years old. What if she can't get married?

Even if she doesn't get married at 80 years old,

I'll still support her!

Keep it down.

Wen Lu.

You must hang in there.

- All right now. - If she can't make it,

how am I going to live?

Lymphocytes...

This will be... Hello?

Dr. Bai. There's a problem with Zhou Wen Lu's surgery.

Dr. Lu wants to see you in the operating room.

Okay, I'll be right there.

The bleeding spot in the spleen.

It's been repaired.

There's no other bleeding in the abdominal cavity.

There's excessive bleeding from

closed drainage in the right chest cavity.

It's over 1,500ml.

We need a thoracoscopy now.

Dr. Wang of Thoracic Surgery is still in surgery.

That's why I'm asking you to step in.

Okay, leave it to me.

Incision.

Surgical film.

Go.

Lights out.

To the left.

Right.

I don't see any obvious bleeding point.

1000ml of saline.

- Ventilate the right lung. - Okay.

There's the chasm.

Suction. One-sided ventilation.

- Okay. - Hemoclip.

1,000ml of saline.

Suction. Two-lung ventilation.

Okay.

There's still blood.

Oval forceps.

Up.

Okay.

Diaphragmatic rupture.

- Silk suture. - Okay.

Zhou Wen Lu.

Zhou Wen Lu.

Dr. Xiao.

When will my daughter wake up?

Don't worry. The surgery went well.

The anesthesia will wear off soon.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I behaved poorly toward all of you previously.

I was out of line.

I apologize.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay. I understand.

But thank you, for believing in us.

- We believe in you. - We surely do.

We believe in you.

Dr. Xiao, what about that boy who saved my daughter?

My colleague has managed to save him.

He's out of danger for now.

That's good.

We should thank him.

Thank you.

Lift your arms.

Lift your legs.

You're recovering well.

I'm so lucky.

I met great doctors like you.

That's a good attitude. Keep it up.

It'll help you recover.

Doctor.

Did you contact my parents?

We must inform the next of kin.

Finally, they have found a reason

to take me back to Canada.

Back in Canada,

they'll introduce me to a lot of weird girls again.

Get some rest. Call us if you need anything.

I didn't expect matchmaking and blind dates to be universal.

Isn't there an old saying?

There's nothing new under the sun.

What a coincidence.

The girl that was sent in today with him...

also left home in a fit...

because her parents made her go on blind dates.

The two generations have different values.

It's normal.

Is it?

Even if the two generations have different values,

there are many ways to resolve a conflict.

Does this method really resolve anything?

In terms of values, they don't form in a day.

Change doesn't happen overnight.

The point is, I think that...

the elderly aren't exactly wrong.

They just can't adapt to the present times.

If they can't adapt, they should communicate.

Besides, as parents,

they should respect their children's opinions.

They should know how their child feels.

Am I...

Stop being so cynical.

Everyone's staring at you.

Dr. Bai, thank you for today.

What for?

The operating room.

It's okay. We wanted what's best for the patients.

You're different from what I expected.

What do you mean?

See you tomorrow.

You're different from what I expected.

What do you mean?

See you tomorrow.
