Original subtitles

Why are you following me?

You psycho brat.

Is this funny to you, weirdo?

Stop it! What's your problem?

You want to die? Do you?

Are you okay? Get up.

Are you hurt anywhere else?

Let me see.

You should've asked to play with them.

Why did you let them beat you up?

If you keep asking him to play with you,

Dong-gu will let you be his friend.

You can't play with Bunny forever.

I can't play with you every day.

Lift your head.

Why you!

We should keep this brat locked up!

Why did you take him to a health care center?

We have to cure him. We can't leave him like this.

Why you crazy bitch!

Stop it! I told you to stop it! Stop it!

Why you little brat!

Si-deok!

Why you!

Die! Die! I can't stand you. Just die!

I think he's dead.

Dead... Dead? Then...

Did... Did he go to heaven?

Yes, heaven.

Must... Must everyone go to heaven?

Not if you get treated before going to heaven.

If... If I become a doctor,

can I stop them from going to heaven?

I want to become a doctor too.

Why are you alone again?

I said to stay with the others, even if they hit you!

Why do you keep carrying this?

Listen to your big brother.

Then they'll stop calling you a moron.

Come with me.

You can play with us on one condition.

What is it?

There are ball bearings in there.

Bring one to me.

If we do, you have to play with Si-on.

No more picking on him.

Fine. We'll eat with him and play with him.

We'll just bring out a ball bearing from in there, got it?

Oxygen tank!

Bring the oxygen tank!

We found them!

Si-deok.

Si-deok...

This is the egg that Grandma gave us.

-Really? -Yeah.

So cute.

-It may pop right out. -For real?

Then suddenly,

"knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

The child was terrified and went to lock the door.

Step by step, he walked toward the door.

He reached for the doorknob,

but he felt a presence behind him.

When he looked back!

The ghost took the child who wouldn't take his medicine.

-Boo! -Boo!

I'm going to take all the kids.

So you have to take your medicine, okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

KIM SU-HAN

Is restructuring all that the management office does?

Sungwon University Hospital doesn't use

their employees efficiently.

We waste too much manpower. You know that.

We're a hospital, not a factory.

The workers' well-being affects the patients' lives.

It protects the patients but endangers the hospital.

Bring me a new proposal that I can accept.

Sure.

Exit the station and board the 1 line.

Skip one stop.

Total distance, 1.9 km. Total duration, about 4 minutes.

Fare, 1,150 won by cash, 1,050 won by credit card.

"Common Carotid.

Artery.

Subclavia.

Vena Cava."

Hyeon-wu, wait for me.

Help!

Somebody help me! Hyeon-wu!

The link broke and...

Please come help! Please!

Hyeon-wu...

One, two.

Luckily, the glass missed his carotid artery,

but his jugular vein seems to be damaged.

Hyeon-wu.

He'll be fine if we stop the bleeding at his neck.

No.

He's a child. You'll obstruct his airway.

Apply pressure higher up,

but don't press too hard.

Trauma may cause lung and liver damage.

His pulse is still normal.

Children's hearts often fail due to lack of oxygen.

Thus checking breath is essential.

Breathe in air and see if the patient's chest rises.

Make sure you check the patient is breathing.

Importance, five stars.

Right lung, non-responsive.

Possibility of tension pneumothorax.

Give him mouth-to-mouth every three seconds.

And make sure his chest is moving.

I'm sorry, but we don't have a scalpel or a tube.

Insert just above the fifth rib

to avoid damaging the blood vessels and nerves.

What are you doing?

He's releasing the air outside the lung, so that he can breathe.

Out of the way!

Give me the pediatric intubation kit.

His stomach is inflated. He seems to have severe internal bleeding.

With children, due to their small size,

even moderate blood loss may cause death.

Administer fluids immediately.

Importance, four stars.

First, find a blood vessel.

Why don't you do it in the ambulance?

We don't have time.

And I can't do this in a moving vehicle.

Give me the fluids set. Hurry.

A child's vessels are thin and difficult to be found.

It's even harder to fine after excessive bleeding

due to peripheral blood vessels contracting.

He's in hypovolemic shock and needs fluids immediately.

I can't find his vein. I must give it through his bone marrow.

Do you have an IO needle?

Sorry, but we don't.

Then perform venous cutdown.

IJ CUT-DOWN: A CANNULA IS INSERTED INTO THE VEIN UNDER DIRECT VISION

If you can't find the blood vessel

and don't have an IO needle,

cut the jugular vein and administer fluids in directly.

Importance, three stars.

Please squeeze the bag so the fluids will go in faster.

Yes, sir.

You'll be fine now, Hyeon-wu.

Don't worry.

Hyeon-wu.

Please rush him to the hospital.

Doctor. Please come with us.

Excuse me? I have to be somewhere.

Please.

I'd feel so much better if you would.

Excuse me,

but I have to go to Sungwon University Hospital.

That's where we're going.

Are you a doctor there?

Sorry?

Yes.

Park Si-on has incredible potential and unusual abilities

as a surgeon.

What proof do you have?

Si-on has Savant Syndrome.

As you know, Savant Syndrome refers to people with autism

who have extraordinary skills in certain areas.

For Si-on, his memorization skills and spatial cognition

are beyond extraordinary.

While I was stationed at Taebek Health Center,

I first met him by chance.

At the age of seven, he had memorized

all the organs of the human body.

And with his spatial cognition skills,

he understood all the functions and positioning of all the organs

as if he had seen them himself.

He graduated Songsan University Medical College

and passed the national medical board exam.

He finished his internship and is currently up for residency.

He had stellar grades at his medical college.

Yes, he is more qualified to become a doctor than anyone else.

Oh, my bag.

His pulse is racing all of a sudden! Is it temporary?

It says 100% saturation.

Why is he turning blue?

Hyeon-wu.

We need an echocardiogram quickly.

His heart is fine. Are you his guardian?

He's the doctor who saved my son.

He's a doctor here.

I've never seen you before.

Which department are you with?

We need to check. Echo. Echo.

Please stay here.

Just you come in.

Okay.

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Eun-ji, I'll make sure you get surgery without being scared.

Really?

Yes. The doctor you'll meet tomorrow

will make you brave.

I'm so scared. What if I die during surgery?

I told you, you'll be fine.

Just trust this pretty doctor.

Who's pretty?

Why you!

Doctor.

The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow,

not the psych evaluation.

I never gave such order.

They said Dr. Kim Do-han ordered it.

What do we do?

-Dr. Cha! -Let go!

Eun-ji needs a psych evaluation first tomorrow.

She has an intraperitoneal tumor.

We must operate tomorrow. What if her varix ruptures?

She has hypnophobia,

so we need to make sure she's psychologically stable!

Don't you know kids go into shock quickly when their varix ruptures?

If you want to baby the kids, teach kindergarten.

-Doctor. -You're off her case.

I won't watch a patient die.

-Dr. Cha. -Let go.

Dr. Kim, but Dr. Cha...

There's a trauma patient in the ER. He has lacerations on the liver and spleen

and he is bleeding heavily.

The CT scan and X-ray look clear,

but he has lacerations on his liver and spleen.

He has hematoma by his jugular vein, indicating damage,

but he stopped bleeding.

First aid was administered well.

Let's open him up and stop the bleeding.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

What are you doing? You can't go in!

Just a minute. I have to tell them something!

What is it? Are you his guardian?

I don't think he is.

We don't have time. We must hurry.

Be quiet! This is the operating room.

Echo...

Echocar...

Pericarditis...

-What is he saying? I think he's sick. -Effu... Echocar...

Pericar... Pericardi... Effu... Effu...

OPERATING ROOM

This is not good. This is really bad.

-Who administered first aid? -There was a doctor at the site.

He did a really good job.

But why did he give fluid through the jugular...

The blood vessels contracted due to excessive bleeding,

so he did a venous cutdown.

Whoever it is, he's an expert pediatric surgeon.

The Mental Health Act 3-1 prohibits a person with a mental illness from taking

the medical board exam.

How did someone with level-three autism take the exam?

Regarding his autism,

he was declared normal when he was 17 years old.

Excuse me.

You said he passed the national medical board exam,

but it says the board failed him after-the-fact.

That's why I want to bring him here.

The Board of Medical Examiners failed him retroactively

because of his condition.

However, regarding the mental illness Dr. Kim brings up,

there also is a prerequisite, which states

"One who is accepted by a medical doctor to be competent

shall be deemed competent."

The board stated that if he passes an evaluation,

they will withdraw their decision and pass him.

This is their notice.

You're saying we can make that evaluation here?

Yes, through our first year residency program.

Does that mean he's cured of his autism?

Well, I can't say that he's completely cured,

but it doesn't hinder his abilities as a doctor in any way.

What do you mean that he isn't completed cured?

His knowledge and abilities as a surgeon are exceptional,

but his social and communication skills

are slightly deficient for an adult.

Isn't that another way of saying he's psychologically immature?

This is absurd.

Even if he was treated,

I think it is impossible for someone like him

to make sound decisions and be a doctor.

This hospital isn't a rehab center for the disabled!

How dare you...

Watch what you say. You're out of line.

Let's discuss this after meeting him.

It's been 30 minutes, but he hasn't arrived yet.

DOCTOR CHOI U-SEOK

Suction.

Luckily, his liver and spleen weren't severely damaged.

Once we stop the bleeding, he'll be fine.

Cauterizer.

Vitals.

Heart rate 180. BP 50 over 30, and dropping fast.

Saturation is consistent.

Something's wrong with his heart.

How's his echo?

The ER didn't check, saying his heart seemed fine.

Echo...

Echocar...

Echocardiogram.

-Get me the portable echo. -Yes, sir.

-Shall I prepare the defibrillator? -Not yet.

Pericar... Pericardi... Effu... Effu...

Pericardial effusion.

PERICARDIAL EFFUSION: ABNORMAL ACCUMULATION OF FLUID AROUND THE HEART

Here's the portable echo.

Prepare for pericardiocentesis and pericardiotomy.

Pericardiocentesis is difficult on children.

The angle may be too narrow.

The angle makes pericardiocentesis impossible.

We'll open the epigastrium. Scalpel.

The patient has cardiac tamponade.

The external shock caused bleeding in his pericardium,

and the accumulated blood is pressing down on his heart.

You must lower the pressure with pericardiotomy.

Suction.

The bleeding has worsened in the pericardium.

We have to stop the bleeding.

If heavy bleeding continues because of pericardiotomy,

If it continues...

Cut open the chest cavity.

Open the chest cavity and find the source of bleeding.

After suction, prepare for thoracoabdonimal incision.

Majority rules

to deny the temporary employment of Park Si-on.

What is he doing?

I don't know. He's been like that for two hours.

I think something's wrong with him.

If you don't locate the source of bleeding quickly,

drastic drop in BP and cardiac arrest may occur.

BP dropped to 45 over 30. He's in cardiac arrest.

-Increase vasopressin infusion rate. Now! -Yes, sir.

After increasing vasopressin, prepare defibrillator.

Step back.

Shock!

Shock!

It's back.

Metzenbaum.

Open up the pericardium wider and search for the source of bleeding.

It's between the vena cava and right atrium.

Bleeding under control. Check vitals.

Pulse 150, BP 90 over 60. Saturation 98.

He's back.

Great job.

-You finish up, Dr. Han. -Yes, sir.

Who is Lee Hyeon-wu's guardian?

I am.

The surgery went well.

We stopped the bleeding from the liver and spleen, as well as the neck.

There was bleeding at the pericardium as well,

but we managed to locate it in time, so he'll be fine.

Thank you, Doctor. Thank you.

Thank you, Hyeon-wu.

By the way, do you know which doctor administered first aid on him?

He was here just a minute ago.

He said he was a doctor here.

A doctor here?

Doctor...

What's wrong with you?

You're always so punctual. What happened?

And what happened to your suit?

A child got hurt at Cheongnyangni Station, so I was helping him.

Is the child okay?

Yes, he is.

Si-on.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

But how did he know the pericardium was punctured?

It never even crossed my mind.

It didn't even show up on the chest X-ray or CT scan.

Right?

He almost died on the table.

Doctor Kim is so awesome.

That's right. Aren't we getting a new resident today?

Yeah. Whoever it is, I hope the person would come soon.

I want to go home!

Me, too! Please!

Echo...

Echocar...

Pericar... Pericardi... Effu... Effu...

-Do you want to stay here? -No, sir.

-Are you hungry? -No, sir.

No?

Then I'm going to eat braised short ribs by myself.

Do you mean the short ribs prepared with top-grade Hanwoo beef

with chestnuts and pine nuts?

Yes, that. But you said you weren't hungry.

I'm fine,

but the increase in my bowel movements intensified the reflexes.

I don't think you need to come to these meetings anymore.

Mr. Kang is right.

The chairman shouldn't be bothered about hiring a mere resident...

A "mere" resident?

The founding chairman spoke with every intern and treated them with respect.

Our doctors aren't employees, but family members.

What's going on? Was there an incident?

Excuse me.

What is it?

A child was severely injured at Cheongnyangni Station today,

and a doctor from here saved him

by conducting emergency surgery on the spot.

So we wanted to interview him.

I see. Which doctor was it?

We don't know, either. The paramedic only said that he was a doctor here.

I see.

All these are yours, so eat slowly.

Okay.

This video posted online is making news.

It was taken at Cheongnyangni Station.

A child was severely injured by a sign that fell on him.

He was fighting for his life

when a doctor passing by conducts a miraculous surgery.

The crowd watched with bated breath,

and broke out into a sigh of relief and cheers.

The video of this anonymous doctor

received 120,000 hits in just four hours,

shooting to third place and capturing the entire world's attention.

Hello?

We have never revisited a topic already voted on.

There's always an exception.

The video has spread worldwide, not only in Korea,

and they think he's a doctor here.

To hire him for that alone is nonsense.

It's not just about publicity.

It's my assessment of his abilities as a doctor.

Madam Chairman.

To be blunt, autism is a neuroanatomical and biochemical cerebropathy.

It's not easy to cure,

and even if it is cured, there is a limit to its effectiveness.

I think we can make exceptions here.

Nonsense!

Our hospital may become a laughing stock!

Please give him a six-month trial.

If any problem arises or he is deemed incompetent,

I will...

step down as the hospital director.

As Dr. Kim stated,

autism is caused by biological factors.

But it is not incurable.

It differs from patient to patient, but it is curable in many people.

Si-on is an excellent example of that.

The goal isn't to rehabilitate a disabled person.

It is to give everyone with autism and their families

hope and courage.

Please keep an open mind.

I have a basic question.

Why do you want to become a pediatric surgeon?

It's because of Bunny and my big brother.

The day the tree smelled of ice cream,

I watched Bunny go to heaven.

The day the railroad tracks smelled of rusted iron,

I watched my brother go to heaven.

They both never got to become adults.

I wanted to let them become adults.

I wanted to let them have children and love them.

I really wanted to do that for them.

And I want to make lots of money and buy the kids

at my old orphanage a 3D TV.

They have never seen it before,

so I want to show it to them.

Sungwon University Hospital is happy to hire you

as a temporary Pediatric Surgery resident.

Welcome, Dr. Park Si-on.

I welcome you too, Dr. Park Si-on.

I've never seen you doing something so reckless.

Sometimes, it's necessary for a valuable cause.

You may get in trouble because of Si-on.

This was never about Si-on.

It was always about the power struggle.

I don't know stuff like that.

You must.

They're all itching to get rid of you.

Even if I step down as hospital director, I'm still a doctor.

It's like talking to a wall.

Hyeon-wu had a laceration on his neck, and...

I opposed without knowing the deputy director's intent.

I know.

It's the best way to get rid of the director.

Spread word about that kid all around the hospital,

that the director hired someone incompetent for personal reasons.

Make him look as evil as possible.

Yes, sir. He won't last one month.

Doesn't it feel like we're at a casino?

A casino? What casino?

We've spun the roulette wheel, and Dr. Park is the ball.

No one knows...

our probability of winning.

You still haven't solved it?

I thought a few hours would do, but it's been a week already.

Attention!

The long-awaited new resident has arrived.

He's the director's special recruit.

You'll see, but he's unusual.

What do you mean?

You'll see.

Here he comes.

Hi, everyone.

He's the one who caused a ruckus at the OR.

Let me introduce

Dr. Park Si-on, a first-year resident.

-Where's Dr. Cha Yun-seo? -She had to leave early.

Say hi to everyone.

Hello, I'm from Chuncheon City, Gangwon-do Guhwang-dong 23rd street.

I did my internship at Songsan University Hospital.

I am a first-year resident, Park Si-on.

I told you.

Okay, I'll leave you now.

Get to know each other.

Dr. Kim, I'll leave him to you.

Park Si-on. Si-on as in "Zion"?

From "Hail to the Brightness of Zion's Glad Morning"?

No, sir.

"Si" means "to give" and "on" means "warmth." My pastor

named me--

Shut it!

Do you know where you are?

Sungwon Pediatric Surgery is the best in the nation.

Got that?

Oh, that's right. Coffee.

If you gather the sonic energy of eight years of a person's screams,

you can make a cup of coffee. However,

with Dr. Ko's decibel, we can shorten the years needed.

What did he just say?

What's your problem?

Savant Syndrome and his skills aren't the point.

He can't make decisions with a child's mind.

The guardians of the patients...

will never accept him.

We're doing this to test his judgment and rationality.

And naturally, he will succeed.

I've never once

gone against your will before.

You've never done or said anything I disagreed with.

But not this time.

I must refuse for the first time.

Dr. Kim,

stop being so emotional.

I am not. I am being very rational.

All of you are like my children, including Si-on.

I'm your child too, so please understand my position.

You know every child is dear to his parents

Si-on...

is just a little more dear to me.

Do-han,

please...

help Si-on.

It's this powerless mentor's last request.

What is a pediatric surgeon called?

A general surgeon.

And why is that?

Because you deal with every part of a child's organs.

And?

Since children are developing, there are many variables,

so the diagnoses, surgeries, and treatments differ.

Also, you must predict all variables and potentials.

You can never be

such a general surgeon.

Figure out why exactly that is.

That should be your goal.

Got it?

Stay focused on what I say!

I'm sorry.

There are two things I won't condone.

Mistakes and excuses.

Yes, sir.

Go home. You'll be on call for 24 hours tomorrow.

The others will tell you what to do.

Now, leave.

Hold on.

Have you ever operated other than first aid or simple procedures?

Nothing other than first aid and simple procedures.

How did you know Hyeon-wu had a punctured pericardium then?

Oh, Hyeon-wu.

I mashed together what I saw, heard and read.

How did you mash them together? Explain in detail.

In the ambulance, he had tachycardia, but normal saturation.

Even after receiving fluids, his BP did not change.

You suspected it purely because his BP didn't change?

No. I listened to his heartbeat and it was faint.

And his BP was low but his jugular vein was engorged,

so I thought it was Beck's triad.

That means blood is pooling in the heart.

Doctor Kim, please take a look at a NICU's colon study.

You may leave.

It's a microcolon.

We can't rule out Congenital Megacolon

so let's take a biopsy first.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Do you have something to say?

No, sir.

What is it?

The surgery was three days ago, but he's still in pain.

That's how this surgery is. The pain will last a week.

Will he be okay?

Don't worry. We gave him the best medicine.

Doctor!

I said not to call me when I'm leaving.

But he was in so much pain.

Are you a doctor?

Sorry.

You're all so paranoid.

I have an important seminar tomorrow, so don't call me.

Damn it...

Did someone put an antidote in my liver?

I drank all day, but I'm not getting drunk.

Why are you two always fighting?

Were you two Tom and Jerry in your past lives?

Look. I know he's great and all,

but he has no respect for those junior to him!

I can't stand snobs either, but Do-han is allowed.

It suits him.

Why are you always taking his side, Uncle?

Fine.

I'm the rude bitch. That's right.

So you know that about yourself.

Want me to mix it half and half to get you drunk?

No, no.

I want seven parts soju

and three parts beer.

Okay.

-Hello? -Where are you?

-At the library. -Are you drinking again?

Just a little bit.

Are you still mad?

Why do you ask?

-Are you going to make me feel better? -No.

Even if you get drunk, repent about what you did.

What?

It's useless if you get drunk and rationalize what you did wrong.

So drink moderately and prepare for tomorrow's surgery.

Bye.

Hello?

What the hell?

That stupid son of a...

Uncle, throw everything in.

Throw in everything in this bar! Every single liquor!

You should've called me. Then I would've come sooner.

It's okay.

Where did you go? What's with the suit?

I had a meeting in the morning.

I kept opposing for the director's sake.

For his sake?

If it was rejected, that would've been the end of it.

But he went all in.

If the new doctor causes trouble,

he said he'd take full responsibility and resign as hospital director.

-Resign? -That's why the others approved.

To get rid of the director.

Meanwhile, the clueless executive director kept opposing,

and the deputy director pushed for approval.

The deputy director is really several steps ahead.

Why would he...

You know he's rash at times.

The results were always in his favor.

Regardless, the deputy director concerns me.

He does? Why?

Because he's the one person I can't read.

I can look from here

And from there

But I can't read your mind

Kim Do-han, you bastard.

Hey, you!

If you're drunk, go home and sleep!

Who is that?

Are you plugged into an amp?

You have such a loud voice!

If you keep making noise, I'll call the cops!

Go ahead! I can use the ride.

So annoying.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, my dear brother

Happy birthday to you

What are you doing? Blow out the candle.

I saved up to buy this.

You said you wanted to become a doctor.

You can do it

because you're my brother, right?

Yes, because I'm your brother.

Si-on, you're not stupid. Not at all.

You're much, much smarter than I am.

You'll be a great doctor.

Later on, when Mommy or I get sick,

you'll have to cure us, okay?

Here. Eat.

Slowly.

That asshole.

Rationalize what?

I'm so...

You're unbelievable.

Kim Do-han,

I can't stand anything about you other than your looks.

Excuse me.

Get lost, punk!

You're trying to lecture me, again?

Let me sleep, jerk.

The new resident.

Aren't you taking notes?

I am. In here.

I'm sorry, okay?

Listen. We will operate on two patients.

Stick to the rules. Stop being so arrogant.

Want the psycho to punch out your teeth?

Return with the patient!

I'll do it.

Please stop, Dr. Park!

Do you know what you just did?
