It's a CBD perforation.

Bile is building up and forming gallstones.

We must remove them

and conduct a jejunostomy right away. There's a high risk of infection.

Not a jejunostomy!

What do you mean? That's our only option.

Si-on is correct.

The biliary tract is too narrow

and the small intestine is too short.

Then...

are there other options?

No.

If we delay any longer, the baby will die.

The baby is exhausted.

How did the biliary tract become perforated?

The gallstone blocked it. It burst from the pressure.

He couldn't eat because his intestines weren't in good condition,

and that's how the gallstones formed.

That's why you shouldn't operate on premature babies.

There's no time. Why is he just thinking?

He's about to be humiliated.

How can you laugh?

The patient is about to die.

Is there no other way?

Not at this point.

Even if he removes the gallstone,

there's no point if he can't seal the perforation.

And the enteroenteric fistula he created will get damaged, too.

Saturation dropped to 80!

Insert the intubation and check.

The tube is so small, it keeps bending.

His temperature dropped to below 36.

He's very unstable.

Drainage, drainage.

That only removes the bile.

It's not a solution.

After the initial suture, position the drainage tube

next to the biliary tract and close up.

What?

Get me the thinnest drainage tube possible.

Yes, sir.

Drainage may create a risk of infection.

The pressure in the biliary tract is low.

Even if the perforation isn't sealed, if the bile is drained,

we can prevent peritonitis.

And we can expect it to seal up naturally.

PDS 6-0.

PDS 6-0: A TYPE OF SUTURE. 6.0 INDICATES THICKNESS.

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE THINNER THE SUTURE

-Tie. -Tie.

What looked like an artifact in the sonogram

was a gallstone caused by a perforated biliary tract,

and bile was leaking out around it.

Si-on was correct.

The biliary tract is too narrow. Won't it get narrower after the primary suture?

If it gets cut, it'll be hard for it to seal naturally.

So I'll stick it on slightly.

Here it is.

We'll close it up as quickly as possible.

Suture.

Tie.

No surgery is ever easy, is it?

Did it go well?

Yes, I think so.

Thank you for giving us permission to operate here.

No, I thank you

for showing me such an amazing surgery.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you for not giving up on our baby.

There are still risk factors,

so we must monitor his progress.

But if he hangs in there, I think it'll work out.

-Thank you. -Thank you very much.

We thank the baby for fighting so hard.

Now don't worry and get some rest.

You haven't been taking care of yourself.

Good job.

Not at all.

But we have business to conclude.

Bring Si-on to the conference room.

Wait at the station.

No, I must go too. I must take the punishment--

I said go back!

Get going.

What do you mean, reduce the punishment?

Once word gets out about this surgery,

requests for appointments will flood in.

For Dr. Kim to be unavailable for a month

would be a huge loss.

That's irrelevant.

How is it irrelevant?

It directly affects the hospital's profits.

I'd like to let Dr. Park Si-on off the hook as well.

How could we do that? He caused this mess!

We must clarify who must be held accountable.

Dr. Park Si-on was following Dr. Kim Do-han's orders.

Where's Dr. Park Si-on?

I will take full responsibility.

If you're going to punish him I'll let him know.

Director, let's just proceed.

Whereas the surgery was a success,

we can't ignore the fact that you broke the rules.

Thus, we'll suspend Dr. Kim for a week

and dock a month's pay.

The suspension will begin next Monday,

after treating his patients scheduled for this week.

Dr. Kim Do-han, do you have any objections?

I do not.

And Dr. Park Si-on

will be asked to write an incident report.

How did it go?

One-week suspension and a month's docked pay.

I can't believe they really punished him.

He pulled off that difficult surgery.

This is outrageous.

I know.

What about Si-on?

Just a written apology.

Dr. Kim Do-han took all the blame.

How dare you show your face here?

What do you think you're doing?

Aren't you mad? It's all his fault!

He's right.

Why should Dr. Kim be punished?

Do you not even know how to say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong??

Oh, right. You're too dumb to think that far.

Il-gyu! Watch your mouth!

You know he doesn't listen otherwise!

Shut it, all of you!

What do you think you're doing?

Act normal when Dr. Kim gets back.

If you don't, you're dead.

Anyone can cause trouble unintentionally during their residency.

I did, too.

But what's important is the attitude.

Don't you feel...

any sense of guilt?

The baby can live now.

-So I'm happy-- -I'm talking about

you and our team, not the baby!

If you keep this up, I can't protect you anymore.

I don't feel the need to protect someone who doesn't care about the team.

Don't bother asking if I'm okay.

I won't bother.

-If you have nothing to report, leave. -Dr. Kim.

I could never have imagined using drainage as a solution today.

I was wrong about the artifact,

and I was wrong about Seong-ho before, too.

But Si-on got everything right.

Like you've said, when it comes to medical knowledge,

he's several steps ahead of me.

I admit it.

Get to the point.

I'm not jealous or insecure,

but I am confused.

Based on his skills, I want to keep him with us,

but I am uncertain on everything else.

Let me ask you one thing.

There are two options.

There's an extraordinary doctor without good judgment,

and an average doctor with good judgment.

Whom would you choose?

A hero with a deficiency only exists in comics.

I need a partner I can communicate with, not a comic book hero.

That's what's best for the patients.

Then are you keeping Si-on around

only because of the director?

If you have nothing else to say, leave.

So this is what

our leaders decided?

That's what organizations are like. Please understand.

Was Si-on alone not enough?

I thought only the director and Si-on

were on the chopping block.

But I get the sense Dr. Kim Do-han is in the mix as well.

You must be mistaken.

I wish I were.

But if

Dr. Kim Do-han becomes a casualty of that war,

I won't stand for it.

As long as I'm here, there won't be any casualties.

I'm done eating. I'm full.

How's the infection?

The antibiotics are working well, so it's much better.

She'll be fine.

You have to keep taking your medicine.

Hey, come with me. I have to ask you something.

Just ask here.

No, it's private. I want to talk alone.

You look like you've lost weight.

Yes, I've been busy.

Remember to take care of yourself.

If you don't feel well, let me know.

It's okay.

You're so dense.

What?

You're so clueless.

You should've noticed right away.

He's so naughty. But he has good taste.

Your friends never set you up when you were in school, did they?

Why you...

I was insanely popular.

The girls used to fight over me--

Enough. No more fiction.

I get plenty of dates.

Yeah, right.

What dates? He stays here even on his day off.

Do you like someone in the hospital or something?

And what if he does?

Who'd like a monster?

What?

I may look like this now,

but people used to say I had chiseled good looks.

"Chiseled good looks"?

Chiseled is right. But it shattered into pieces.

You brat!

A nurse just hit a patient!

Dr. Cha, please go to Seo-jun.

What is your problem? What are you thinking?

What's going on?

He brought this for Seo-jun!

He can't eat flour. What on earth is this?

It's not flour. It's rice flour.

And cocoa's fine, even if it's high in sugar,

since nothing's wrong with his blood sugar level.

But how could you feed him this?

How could a doctor be so ignorant?

He can eat it.

The carbohydrates and sugar--

Forget it. Step outside.

Now!

I'm sorry. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

Don't eat that! I'm throwing it out.

The brain uses 20% of the oxygen

and 15% of the blood.

That's why it consumes 20% of the food intake.

If you don't intake food, brain activity

becomes unstable, and stress and insomnia may set in.

So you were worried about Seo-jun?

It was to help with Seo-jun's brain activity and sleep.

Okay.

I'll assume you had good intentions.

But this is a warning.

Don't change a patient's food without approval.

Okay.

What is wrong with Mr. Kang? What is he thinking?

And you just sat there? You should've done something!

Sorry, but I just couldn't.

Don't you realize how important this is?

We need to get rid of the director and the chairman

so that I can become the chairman! That way, you'd be safe!

I know.

You come up with a plan without informing Mr. Kang.

Sorry?

How could I...

How long must you be spoon-fed?

How do you have a head if you're not going to use it?

You're a human scanner.

Can you memorize it all just by reading it?

Yes, I can memorize it.

You're so lucky to read and memorize simultaneously.

-Stop that. -What? I won't really hit him.

But even if you rattle off like a professor in the OR,

we're not jealous of you at all.

You should go on some talent show.

Like the Memorization King, Park Si-on.

That's perfect for you.

That's enough. Stop it.

-Fine. -Enough already.

Think hard about what I said.

Just think of it as taking a week off.

You haven't had a day off in a while.

Let's go to Anmyeondo on Monday.

What about work?

Who would complain about my taking a day off?

I was thinking. Can't you leave Pediatric Surgery?

If you go to HPB, you can push out Dr. Kim

and become the department chief.

The chairman would take care of that.

Then your life would be so much easier than working in Pediatric Surgery.

But to be honest,

I don't want you to be caught between the director and Si-on.

Why should you get dragged into their political battle?

I'm a surgeon, not a politician.

Stay out of it.

You're my fiance.

How could I stay out of it?

And don't mess with my work.

I'm not leaving Pediatric Surgery.

Why not? Because of the director?

-No. -Then why not?

That's enough. Let's stop.

You know you've never told me the reason.

Let's go, if you're done. I've had a long day.

One sheep.

Two sheeps.

Three sheeps.

Four sheeps.

You're still busy, right?

As always. Has Father been checking his blood sugar level?

Of course.

But Do-han, let me ask you something.

Yes?

Did you go see Su-han?

I saw flowers there.

KIM SU-HAN

No, I didn't.

Oh, okay. I thought maybe...

Okay, make sure to eat regularly and come visit.

Okay, Mother.

Okay.

SUNGWON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Did you not sleep well last night?

You don't look too good.

I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.

We can't have you pass out.

Who would operate on the kids?

Are you going to keep abusing me?

You should take the lead, too.

What?

May I? Already?

I did it as a first-year fellow. You're a second-year.

Then please choose a patient for me

and give me the order.

Take the next patient with esophageal atresia.

Yes, sir.

How about here?

Are you urinating and passing gas okay?

Yes. Fart, fart, fart.

See? You're recovering quickly since you listened to me.

Can I go home now?

After a little bit.

After three, no, four more nights.

That long?

Aren't you excited to see your pretty doctor for a longer time?

You're always calling yourself pretty.

Doctor.

May we have a word, please?

What are you doing there?

Please don't tell our moms.

We haven't had cookies in a while.

Okay, I won't.

Promise?

Yes, but...

may I play with you guys?

With us?

-Yes. -Well,

you can play with us on one condition.

You can play with us on one condition.

Si-deok.

We have a limited number of doctors,

so it's hard to switch attendees.

I understand, but we're apprehensive.

We had that problem with Seo-jun's food yesterday.

What if he makes a mistake with the shots or medicine?

That will never happen, so please don't worry.

Oh my god.

What happened?

Dong-jin!

Mommy.

Ye-eun. What happened?

-The doctor did it! -What?

He knocked that stuff down!

Why? Why did he do that?

Because we wouldn't play with him.

What?

Doctor! What is wrong with you?

No... No... That's... that's not it.

I knew this would happen!

What did I say? I told you this would happen!

I'm sorry.

Mr. Cho, please take the kids to a treatment room.

Okay.

What a mess.

Hurry.

What the hell is this?

-Ye-eun! -Emergency! Hurry!

Oh no.

What's the point of memorizing books?

What's the point of being gifted?

No one wants you to be a doctor!

Still, I must become a doctor.

What's the point?

You think a successful operation is all that matters?

I'm sick and tired of you disappointing me!

I know I shouldn't get angry, but I can't help it!

This is a big problem.

How could a doctor assault patients--

It sounded like it wasn't assault, but merely an accident.

Pardon?

I'll report to the director. You may go back to work.

This goes beyond just reporting to the director.

I'll take care of it.

Please worry about your work instead.

You come up with a plan without informing Mr. Kang.

This is my work, too.

As Chief of Pediatric Surgery, I'll take care of it.

We can't let it slide.

Please remove him from the wing right away.

I'd like to, but it's against hospital rules.

Isn't it your authority to remove residents?

It is, but Dr. Park is

a special hire of the disabled, so it's different.

Then, whom must we ask?

First, the hospital director.

And a petition would help.

It would be even better if you alerted the foundation.

-The foundation? -Foundation?

-And get signatures? -Should we do that?

-We should gather more people. -We must stick together, of course.

Seriously!

Okay.

Let me know if another problem arises.

You think Dr. Park did it on purpose?

On purpose?

No, it wasn't on purpose. It fell when he grabbed it.

So why did you make it sound like he did it on purpose to scare you?

Well,

because we really were scared.

So it was because he wanted to be friends with you.

Still, I don't like him. He's scary.

He's so weird.

Reassign all of Park Si-on's patients.

Then the others will be overworked.

It's what the parents want, not me.

If we let him be, he'll end up killing someone.

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

You saw for yourself!

I did, but he didn't hurt them on purpose.

Regardless, they got hurt!

We never should've taken him in.

Damn it.

Every word that jerk utters...

Leave them in their rooms, but change the attending.

Have them just check the orders.

Where and how does it hurt?

Here.

-Here? -Yeah.

It hurts like boppity bop, boopey boo.

Boppity bop, boopey boo?

What do you mean?

I'll take a look.

What are you doing?

You hurt the kids. What are you trying to do now?

Come on, what would a doctor try to do?

Stay out of it.

Don't come near our kids ever again.

But I must see what's wrong.

I said no! So get out! Now!

Good luck this week. Call me if there's an emergency.

We'll take care of it.

Don't worry, and get some rest.

You saying you'll take care of it scares me the most.

Listen to Dr. Cha while I'm out.

Yes, sir.

Dr. Cha, go visit the preemie's parents.

Yes, sir.

I'll see you.

Eat, sleep and breathe, and nothing else while I'm out.

You hate seeing people in pain, right?

Yes, I hate it.

I hate it very much. I hate it too much.

Then think about

how much your actions and words hurt your colleagues.

-Are you a pediatric surgeon? -Yes.

We're with NS. Want to play with us?

Are you doing okay?

Yes, thanks to you.

How's our baby?

His breathing is weak, but he'll be fine.

DONG-SU

Who drew that?

It's so good.

That doctor, Dr. Park Si-on.

I've named him.

"Dong" means movement and "su" means hand.

It means a child who moves his hands well.

Dong-su will be good in basketball, volleyball,

and baseball when he gets older, just like my brother.

So we decided to name our baby "Dong-su."

Lee Dong-su.

Since the man who saved our baby named him,

I think he'll live a long life.

Good job.

Don't grab too hard.

You'll get tired.

Have a nice day.

-What should we do about Seo-jun? -Why?

It's probably because he neither eats nor sleeps,

he's been lethargic.

That's not good.

He's going home soon, too.

He says he can't fall asleep although he wants to.

He just keeps counting sheep.

And it's not like we can give a kid sedatives.

-Where's his mom? -She went to work.

Really?

I'll go see him.

Dr. Park! Seo-jun's...

Let him go.

Ten sheeps. Eleven sheeps.

Twelve sheeps.

Leave. You're here to bother me again, right?

No. I heard you can't sleep.

Don't talk to me.

Thirteen sheeps. Fourteen sheeps.

You shouldn't count sheep.

Why not?

Can you speak English?

Baaa. What is sheep in English?

Yes, "sheep."

Then what's sleep in English?

Yes, "sleep."

"Sheep" and "sleep" sound similar,

so that's why English-speaking people count sheep.

So there's no point in counting sheep in Korean?

No, it only works for English-speaking people.

Since sleep in Korean is jam,

I'll count something that has "jam" in it.

What word has "jam" in it?

Jam...

Jamjari. One jamjari. Two jamjari.

That's right!

One jamjari, two jamjari.

I'm getting sleepy.

Three jamjari, four jamjari.

Five jamjari.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Pardon?

Why didn't you let me know sooner?

Yes, I'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

Stop going out, and stay in your room.

You'll get better sooner.

Sure.

That's not very convincing. Look at me and answer.

Yes, my dear sister.

Where are you working at nights now?

A convenience store.

No wonder. You look exhausted.

You must be tired.

I'm fine. Just focus on getting better.

Okay. Sorry.

Stop saying that.

Bye.

In-yeong!

Yes?

I know you're busy, so I'll be quick.

Did In-hae get worse?

No, that's not it.

Do you have time this weekend?

Sorry?

I got two tickets to a musical.

So if you have the time...

Oh, I...

I'm sorry. I appreciate the gesture,

but as a patient's guardian, it's too uncomfortable.

I hope you wouldn't do this again.

But...

His skills aren't on par with his good looks.

Are all doctors like that?

He's got no skills.

Tell me about it.

Is that all he can do?

I set it all up, and he still can't do it.

That kid's got a great swing.

Why did you want to come here? Aren't you tired?

Seeing healthy people makes me happy.

Don't you agree?

I do.

How much more time do you need?

I'll finish in three months.

I heard speed was your specialty.

I guess this one's different?

I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.

It's okay. You must have your reasons.

What brings you to Korea all of a sudden?

I just came to see you.

Even the goose that lays golden eggs needs to be fed.

Don't starve it to death.

But don't feed it too much, either.

Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind.

Why did you ask me to come here?

What do you mean?

We work in the same building, but we never see each other.

You don't come to my office anymore.

Sorry, you know how crazy things are in my office.

Sure, the management office is tough.

You used to visit him all the time when you were little.

That was before you became my father's wife.

Let's eat.

I don't know. I'm not sure if we should be eating like this.

Chae-gyeong, don't be like that. It's been so long since we got together.

Do-han got suspended because of Dr. Park Si-on,

and Mr. Kang and Mr. Lee

are trying to get rid of you both.

But you're both too calm.

He and I will take care of it.

Stay out of it, and just do your job.

How could I stay out of it?

My dad worked hard to start this hospital and foundation.

Must you talk that way?

Yes, that's the only way to get you worked up.

Fine. I'm the one most at fault.

I'll make sure not to make you worry.

Eat.

I'm done talking, so let's eat.

Sure, let's eat.

My brother's fingernail looks like a crescent moon.

"A crescent moon"?

TO THE PRETTIEST DOCTOR.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.

"We must operate right away."

We must operate right away.

Park Si-on.

Just who are you?

One sheep.

Two sheeps.

Three sheeps.

Five sheeps.

Six sheeps...

Min-hui, stay with me.

Sorry, we don't have any pediatric surgeons.

What do you mean?

There are so many doctors here.

Yes, but they're all interns.

I'll take you to a nearby hospital.

It's intussusception.

She needs surgery right away, but we don't have any pediatric surgeons.

But you have other surgeons.

But they all have different specialties.

And they don't have experience operating on children.

You should go where they have pediatric surgeons.

SUNGWON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

-Min-hui, wake up! -Oh, no.

It's so nice being out.

Don't you agree?

Please.

Let's enjoy our vacation.

REBOOTING CELLPHONE

Her jaundice improved.

Looks like she's almost back to normal.

Her liver is improving and will be back to normal soon, so don't worry.

Hello?

Okay.

An eight-year-old with intussusception is in the ER.

She came from a local hospital and looks bad.

Dr. Park. You come too.

She was diagnosed with intussusception.

She had stomach pain, blood in her stool since ten hours ago and is dehydrated.

-Vitals? -Fever is 39, BP is 80 over 40

and her heart rate is 150.

Breathing is 30 breaths a minute and 85 percent saturation.

Her breathing is unstable.

If she had aspiration while vomiting,

she may have aspiration pneumonia.

Other hospitals wouldn't take her,

so we searched all night and came all the way to Seoul.

We went to five different hospitals.

Five.

Run a blood test and prepare for surgery.

Let's look at the test results first.

The overlapped area is long.

As Dr. Park said, she has aspiration pneumonia

and she is in septic shock.

Triple up the antibiotics and prepare for surgery.

I don't think the surgery will go well.

It'll be horrible.

She may go into cardiac arrest before surgery.

What will happen to Min-hui?

We need to operate to see how bad it is.

Hurry and call the Dr. Kim, I mean, the chief.

Okay.

Cardiac arrest!

-Start massaging. -Okay.

One, two, three, four, five.

Get the fluids.

Get me atropine, epinephrine and an intubator.

PETITION SIGNATURES

LETTER OF COMPLAINT

-What is it? -We have an intussusception patient.

Dr. Cha asked for you.

Okay, I'll be right there.

What?

Are you crazy?

It's too late.

She'll go into cardiac arrest.

But we can't send her away to another hospital.

We may take the blame and get sued.

How can we refuse to operate because we're scared of that?

This is for our department and the hospital's sake.

-Don't you get it? -I will operate.

Why... Why won't you ever listen to me?

It's because you're not speaking like a doctor.

What?

I'll think about accountability later.

Dr. Cha!

Dr. Cha!

We got an OR. Who will lead?

Dr. Ko won't do it.

Then...

Dr. Cha.

We can save her.

We can save her. We must save her.

Move her to the OR.

MISSED CALL FROM CHA YUN-SEO

I'm about to go in.

I think I'll have to lead.

No, don't. I'll do it.

What do you plan to do?

We'll video chat on my way.

-I'll tell you what to do. -No, I'll do it.

Listen to me!

I'll decide when you do your first lead.

Don't manually reposition it.

Look first for the intestines that look okay.

-I'll be right there. Hang in there. -Okay.

It's an emergency operation. I have to go.

They have other doctors.

I'll be right back.

Wait here.

Do-han.

Do-han!

-How's it going? -Hello.

They initiated the anesthesia.

-Did you call? -He's not answering.

Stop right now!

This is your last warning. Stop now.

Cha Yun-seo will lead the operation. Let's begin.

Dr. Cha!

Turn it off.

Dr. Cha.

Dr. Cha!

Let's start.

Scalpel.

The small intestine folded into the descending colon.

Then the large intestine...

You can't cut out all of the large intestine.

We must pull out

as much of the small intestine as possible.

Let's start.

Be careful!

-Be careful! -Be quiet.

We got it out.

We'll excise the small intestine.

Forceps.

-Tie. -Tie.

-Cut. -Clamp.

One more.

Hold this.

Scalpel.

Dr. Park, what's wrong?

She... She is not moving.

It's because she's under anesthesia.

That's not... That's not it.

Concentrate!

Excision completed.

We'll form a gastroenterostomy now.

Cardiac arrest!

I'll administer atropine.

Remove the drape and get the defibrillator.

DEFIBRILLATOR: DELIVERS A DOSE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT TO THE HEART

Begin chest massage.

One, two, three.

Please stop for a second.

Let's check her heart rate.

Please massage it again.

The heart rate has returned slightly.

Here's the defibrillator.

Fifty joules.

Fifty joules.

Clear!

Shot!

-It's dropping again. -One hundred joules!

-One hundred joules. -Shot!

It's not...

coming back.

Please.

Dr. Kim.

Please.

Choosing patients... Is that what a doctor should do?

I'll take lead.

Since when did you start differentiating the two?

I envy Dr. Cha.

You never listen.

You are smart.

Santa Claus and heaven are the same.

They don't exist.

Why doesn't heaven exist?

I gave my life to Pediatric Surgery, not an operating factory.

You sound like Si-on now.

You're suspended right now.

Thank you, Si-on.

Thanks to you, I avoided becoming a technician.
