TREAT PATIENTS LIKE YOUR FAMILY
I actually wanted to be a violinist.
But one day, my teacher said,
"You don't seem to be talented,
so you should just learn it as a hobby."
I cried for two days straight, then gave up on my dream.
EMERGENCY ROOM
They were a married couple
who came in a few days ago
to the ER with their son who fell ill.
Then he suddenly became...
But I guess
I also didn't have the knack for this.
I should've known when I walked into
the anatomy dissection lab.
I should have...
run away back then.
But I should go, shouldn't I?
Let's go, Eun-jae.
You can't let this pass.
That Doctor Kim might be the actual influence around here,
but he's just a chief surgeon.
How dare a chief get an attitude with the president?
And in front of everyone, as if he wanted all of them to see.
"Principle"? Give me a break.
You don't want to risk ruining your reputation,
so you're just trying to avoid problems.
You cannot condone this type of behavior in order to establish order around here.
You must show him who's the boss, then take control within the hospital...
A huge fight broke out between inmates in prison.
One of them had been on dialysis and got his vein ripped during the fight.
We have the patient.
-What's his condition? -He's awake.
Into the hybrid room.
Be careful.
What? He's really young.
You're right.
He apparently murdered two people,
but he's younger than I thought.
-Nurse Um! -Yes!
-Let's move the patient. -Okay.
Wait a second.
Could you remove these?
We'll move him. One, two, three.
What are his vitals?
80 over 40, 110 BPM.
Full drop 300 ml of half-saline, and bring two packs of RBC.
Should the half-saline be warm?
Yes, it should be.
He has ESRD, so don't give him too much fluid.
Should I put the line on his right arm?
-Let's go with the right. -Yes, ma'am.
The patient has end-stage renal failure.
Sir. How long have you been on dialysis?
Five years.
Ever since his kidney deteriorated five years ago due to drug abuse,
he has been on dialysis three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Don't you think it's completely ripped?
-Doctor Jung. -Yes?
We need to figure out his veins first,
so let's move him to the OR
-and stitch him up first. -Yes, sir. And I'll give him
-a second-generation cephalosporin. -Okay.
-More gauze and EB too. -Yes, sir.
EB: ELASTIC BANDAGE
-Please call Doctor Cha. -Yes, sir.
I'm here, Doctor Kim.
What's the patient's condition?
He's an ESRD patient who has been on hemodialysis for five years.
His arteriovenous fistula is ripped.
He's an inmate
who's not very cooperative.
I don't think he can use the ripped AV fistula again,
so just suture it.
Then we'll need to establish another AVF for his dialysis.
Should I establish a temporary hemodialysis catheter?
Yes, you should do that.
Then let's set up another date for his AVF surgery on the other arm.
Yes, sir.
How are you doing?
Are you all right?
I'm trying hard to be okay.
Let it go as soon as possible.
It wasn't your fault, okay?
If something happens, call me right away.
Thank you...
for saying that.
Doctor Cha, should we move him to the OR?
Yes.
Nurse Park.
Will you come into the OR with me?
Yes, of course.
ONCE IN A WHILE
What?
Did he go somewhere?
ONCE IN A WHILE
There's an emergency patient.
He just needs his vein sutured and the catheter inserted.
I won't be too late.
Okay.
Please excuse me.
He's tattooed to his inguinal.
Nurse Park, how does it look over there?
This side looks awful too.
Everything is infected.
Your neck is a mess too.
Where did you get these tattoos that ended up getting this badly infected?
He probably did it in prison.
In prison?
Isn't that illegal?
I guess they still do it in secret behind the guards' backs.
I have a friend who got tattooed in prison.
You had such a friend?
If it weren't for Doctor Kim, I don't know where I would be today.
Do you want to look at this side?
This side doesn't look as bad.
Yes, let's put it in here for now.
Did he get pre-op antibiotics?
Yes.
Sir, we'll insert a catheter on this side of your neck.
Can you turn your head this way?
Sir.
You need this to get dialysis.
If this part also gets infected,
the only way you'll live is by getting a kidney transplant, okay?
Who'd be willing to give their kidney to a murderer?
Who?
That's why you need the catheter.
No one may give you a kidney, but you still need to live.
You need to get a catheter in there and continue the dialysis.
Turn your head.
Stay still, sir.
Give me new gloves and drape him.
We have a patient!
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU HEALTHY
Did a paramedic get hurt?
This is Officer Choi Soon-young.
-What happened? -She got hit on her head a few times
while trying to rescue a drunk man around 5:00 p.m.
She suddenly collapsed 15 minutes ago
and has been unconscious since then.
Get her into the hybrid room.
Yes.
Nurse Um, call Doctor Kim.
Yes, ma'am.
Doctor Kim, this is the ER.
Ma'am.
Ma'am?
She's in a coma.
-And her vitals? -100 over 60, 70 BPM.
-Give me a tube for intubation. -Got it.
Give a liter of normal saline
in a line, then get the OP lab done.
Here.
Fix it at 22 cm right here.
She's in arrest. I'll go up.
And 1 ml of epinephrine, every 3 minutes.
Got it.
Ms. Oh, who is it again?
Officer Choi Soon-young.
She suddenly collapsed and went unconscious.
I'll check her pulse.
ROSC?
ROSC: RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS CIRCULATION
She came back after one cycle.
And her vitals?
She's at 140 over 70, 110 BPM.
Ms. Oh.
Put her on a central line,
then hurry up and mix 500 ml of D5W with 32 ml of norepinephrine
and give it to her at 10 ml per hour.
-Yes, sir. -I'll do it.
We get the chest portable?
No, let's take the CT scan first.
We'll take the radiograph on our way back.
Both of her pupils are dilated.
PUPIL: THE CENTER OF THE IRIS
It's a problem with her brain, isn't it?
The central line is established.
We're ready to take the CT scan.
We'll take her.
Mr. Heo.
So have you reached her guardian?
Yes. She lives alone with her mother, and we got a hold of her.
She's on her way.
Is she in critical condition?
I heard she suddenly collapsed.
What happened to her?
She was hit a few times on the head
while rescuing a drunk man who had fallen.
Sir, pull yourself together.
How much did you have to drink?
Stop annoying me. Go away.
It's a cold day today. Why don't you get up?
Darn you. Who do you think you are
-to order me around? -Goodness.
-Calm down. -Let me go.
What's with you?
-Sir, calm down. -Let me go.
-Let go. -Sir, please.
-Calm down. -Let me go.
She was fine for about two hours.
She suddenly didn't feel well and started to throw up.
Then she collapsed and became unconscious.
It looks like...
there's a problem with her brain.
We'll have to check the CT scan,
but both of her pupils are...
already fully dilated.
-What? -What?
My gosh.
ADULT ECHOGRAPHY
-Hold the probe like this. -Okay.
Local anesthetic.
Sir, this will hurt a little.
It's okay to make a sound.
Catheter, please.
You can take the probe off.
SONOGRAPHY PROBE: ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER
It'll ache a little.
We're done. We just need to fix it.
You're good.
Nylon, please.
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
We're here. This way.
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
In here.
-Ma'am. -Goodness,
you're all here.
I heard Soon-young is hurt. What happened?
How badly is she hurt?
Well, ma'am...
Why? Is she in serious condition?
Where is
Soon-young right now?
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
There is...
no way to help her.
Is this an SAH case?
SAH: SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE
It is a SAH case,
but it wasn't caused by the impact.
Was it spontaneous?
But it isn't
completely unrelated to the impact.
How's Ms. Choi's condition?
She has no voluntary movement or brainstem signs.
BRAINSTEM SIGN: NORMAL NERVE REFLEXES
Doctor Kim.
Ms. Choi's mother is here.
Doctor.
I heard Soon-young is in critical condition.
We took a CT scan,
and it looks like there was bleeding in her brain.
If she gets surgery,
will she live?
She's a rather healthy girl.
We'll have to keep an eye on her,
but it doesn't look...
very positive at the moment.
But can you
still operate on her?
Everyone around here knows that you can save
just about anyone.
Can you please...
operate on Soon-young too?
Please?
I'm sorry.
There is nothing...
I can do right now.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Soon-young.
It's me, Mom.
My baby.
Oh, goodness, my daughter.
Oh, my goodness.
Soon-young.
My baby.
NURSING DEPARTMENT
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
A paramedic came in with a head injury,
and it was a SAH case.
She shows no voluntary movement
or brainstem signs.
Brain death?
Yes.
It looks like it.
I see.
I just inserted a catheter into the neck of a lifer.
He killed two people,
and it doesn't look like he wants to live either.
I stood there wondering why I'm trying so hard to save a man like him.
That means you're a talented surgeon.
I'm a talented surgeon?
See that?
You treated him even after an attack.
A doctor needs that kind of attitude.
Having good skills doesn't equal talent.
Is that so?
Do you think so?

Moon-jung.
-Are you leaving? -Yes, what about you?
I'm waiting for Eun-jae.
Why? Is something going on?
You said you'd buy me a bite and a drink.
Do you want to do it today?
Why do we have so much food?
Hey, come in, Nurse Park.
Come in.
Wait, we need spoons and chopsticks.
Are you done with the lifer's operation?
Yes.
By any chance, was anyone here already?
Who? No one was here.
Were you going to meet someone here?
Yes, something like that.
-Here. -Goodness.
I'm a little late.
Doctor Jung, come in.
Have some hearty soup to warm you up.
Nurse Park, just grab a seat already.
Yes, Nurse Park.
Let's grab a drink once.
Come on, take a seat.
One second, please.
Here.
Doctor Yoon, where are you?
I'm at the hospital.
Where are you?
I'm at the pub.
Why did you go back there?
Oh, Mr. Nam wasn't around,
the door was locked, and the weather was cold.
That's when someone asked for directions to Doldam Hospital,
so I came by to show her the way.
I thought you were still operating.
Nurse Park.
What are you doing? It's cold.
Come inside.
Is that Mr. Jang?
Yes.
The ER Team is here to grab a drink.
I see.
Then you should grab a drink with them.
What about you?
We can set another date.
Nurse Park, why aren't you coming in?
The soup is getting cold.
You should go.
I'll hang up.
This must be a great place.
It's really good.
Have some wine too.
Wow, this is amazing.
It's really great.
Do you know a little about wine?
Of course, I don't.
I'm actually an avid soju drinker.
I like soju with beer.
Are you close with Doctor Seo?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if we're close or if we're just used to each other.
But I've known him since med school, so I know what he's like.
Then
do you know how his parents passed away?
What?
I think he was in middle school...
when they passed away in an unfortunate incident.
You didn't know.
No.
Not at all.
Does it sting?
I figured he wasn't from a rich family.
Call me if anything happens.
Okay.
I presumed that there must be a reason
behind his cold and difficult personality.
MILK
But I never would've thought
that he'd lived his whole life all alone, without any family.
Doctor Yoon?
Why are you still here?
Hey, Doctor Seo.
I'm glad you're here.
I ordered some chicken.
Do you want some?
-All right! -Cheers!
Great work, everyone!
Why isn't Nurse Park coming in?
I'm not sure. He was on the phone.
Gosh, that's good.
That's so refreshing.
I can give you as many refills as you want, so eat up, everyone.
-Okay. -Okay.
What's wrong? Who texted you?
What?
No, it's nothing.
Wait, are you dating someone, Mr. Jang?
Really?
Stop making me feel worse.
It would be so great if that were the case.
Darn it.
Where are you going? Hey!
I'm going to the bathroom.
The washroom. The toilet.
My gosh, man.
"The toilet"?
He has been looking nice lately.
I think you are dating someone. You are!
I think so too!
Yes. It's me, Mr. Jang.
Where are you again?
Yes, I know. Okay.
I'll be there. Yes.
Taxi!
I had no idea.
One day, I was passing by his office,
and I saw Doctor Bae in there
putting some bones together.
I think it was from the chicken he had.
Isn't that amazing?
Should we give him these too?
Yes, I think he'll be thrilled.
I couldn't find a taxi.
You should catch your breath.
Thank you.
Goodness.
Anyway, why did you
want to see me this late at night?
We needed someone to discuss the matters of the hospital with,
and Mr. Jang, there is
no one else knows Doldam Hospital as well as you.
Well, that is true.
Anyway,
what were you discussing?
To be honest,
President Park and I both think Doldam Hospital is in serious condition.
The system where every decision is
spontaneously made only according to that so-called Doctor Kim is
not only dangerous but also completely absurd.
It's because we have a shortage of people
but a huge number of trauma patients.
-We couldn't help-- -President Park
wishes to create a more reasonable and methodical system.
In order to do that, it's important to gain control early on.
"Gain control early on"?
Here.
We need to change the system
that revolves around Doctor Kim
to one with President Park in the center.
Are you saying
you want to show him who's boss?
Do you have any good ideas?
If you are looking for something
that would quickly make a bold statement,
you would have to go with money.
It's great to have goodwill, and of course, justice is important.
But the biggest secret that holds the key to all human emotions is
none other than money.
Money.
What? Money.
That's why
we wish to give everyone a raise.
As our first measure,
we will raise
your current salary by five percent.
Also, we will raise
your overtime pay by five percent.
-Thank you! -Yes!
-Thank you! -All right!
That's awesome!
He's using a few pennies
to erase the fact that President Yeo was ever here.
That can't be right.
People don't get forgotten that easily over some money, Ms. Oh.
-Park Min-gook! -Park Min-gook!
But why does it feel so menacing?
-Park Min-gook! -Park Min-gook!
Park Min-gook!
Doctor Cha.
Doctor.
So?
Looking for a new hospital?
I thought I had a month's time.
So what?
You're going to stay until the very end?
Hey.
What can I do to make you feel better?
If you tell me the way--
There is no way.
Even if I tried a little harder?
I'll be really good.
If you let me off this once--
There are certain types of people that you should never let off.
Those who show off thinking their seniors are a joke.
Those who step up and get cheeky without knowing their place.
When you feel bad for those people and let them off once,
they always manage to come at you again.
It's best to nip it in the bud.
Just until I return to the main hospital.
Did anyone say they'd take you back?
Wake up from your absurd dream
and go find another hospital, Doctor Cha.
What's going on?
No, nothing. It's nothing.
Your creditors.
Did they ever come back after that day?
I don't...
I don't want to discuss that with you.
Is that so?
Okay then. If you don't want to, forget it.
You and I never shared what's really in our hearts anyway.
Right?
What's wrong?
Come to think about it,
you and I barely know each other.
We somehow got involved and came to Doldam Hospital together,
so I guess we have a kind of camaraderie
or something like that.
But we can't say that we've become good friends,
can we?
Is something going on?
Something has always been going on ever since we came to work here,
and it's still going on.
Tell me. What is it?
Let's talk again later.
Sir.
Does it hurt when I touch you here?
What's his temperature?
It's 37.1 degrees.
Do you feel chilly at all?
Let's run a CBC, ESR, and CRP.
And take out the catheter for tip culture.
Then, what about the hemodialysis?
Right, one second.
TIP CULTURE: BACTERIAL CULTURE TEST
It will get infected if I put it in here.
Then let's leave it in there for now.
Change the second-generation cephalosporin
to the third-generation for his infection, and give him vancomycin.
Before you give him antibiotics, let's conduct two blood culture tests,
once from his peripheral line, and once from his hemo-catheter.
If his temperature goes above 38 degrees, give him propacetamol IV as needed.
PROPACETAMOL IV: FEVER REDUCER
Did we finish giving her all the mannitol she had on her from the ER?
Yes, we did.
What's her temperature?
It's 36.8 degrees.
Is the norepinephrine dropping at 20 micro-milliliters?
Yes.
She's still showing no voluntary movement or brainstem signs.
It's brain death.
STOP OF BRAIN FUNCTIONS
I'm sure of it.
The moment when we feel the most helpless as doctors is
when there is nothing we can do for our patient.
Excuse me, ma'am.
ORGAN DONOR REGISTRATION
Excuse me, Doctor.
-Yes? -This.
My daughter did something like this.
ID: CHOI SOON-YOUNG ORGAN DONOR REGISTRATION
CORNEA DONATION
ORGAN DONATION UPON DEATH
TISSUE DONATION
ORGAN DONOR REGISTRATION
Please...
Please take good care of her.
In that helpless moment,
he looked angry...
rather than sad.
Do you know where Doctor Kim is?
I texted him, but he didn't reply.
He's in a meeting.
The paramedic who came in on Saturday
is going to be pronounced brain-dead.
What is it?
Oh, it's the catheter patient.
He's starting to get mild fever due to the
vasculitis where the catheter was inserted.
You removed his catheter?
No. He's getting dialysis today, so I haven't.
Gosh, in this case, he has no chance of living
other than by kidney transplant.
-Doctor Cha. -Yes?
The paramedic who'll soon be declared brain-dead has
the same blood type as him.
She's also A positive, same as the catheter patient.
Per our regulations,
we'll commence the committee meeting
to make a decision on the brain death.
In the ICU, there's a patient
DR. KIM, CHAIRPERSON
who has been suggested as being brain-dead.
Doctor Seo.
Yes, sir.
She's a 32-year-old paramedic.
She's brought to ER last Saturday after suffering a head injury
while trying to rescue a drunk man.
She was already in a coma upon arrival.
Then after one episode of cardiac arrest, ROSC was detected.
The cranial CT scan showed SAH.
It's been 36 hours since she was admitted to the ICU,
but still no spontaneous breathing...
or any brainstem reflexes.
Did you cross-check with the neurological examination?
Yes, we did.
But no response at all.
What about her EEG?
The EEG results are enough to declare her brain-dead.
I heard the patient is registered for organ donation.
Do we have next-of-kin's consent?
Her mother is the one...
who informed us of the patient's wishes.
Let's make our decision then.
Does anyone object to declaring her...
brain-dead?
KIM KI-HO, IM KI-SEOK
No objections.
No.
Then we will declare the patient...
brain-dead.
I feel terrible.
She's still very young.
Every time she came to the ER,
she always had a big smile on her face.
HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE
Doctor Kim. I need to talk to you about something.
A kidney transplant?
For the lifer?
Vasculitis occurred where
the hemodialysis catheter was inserted,
and he now has a mild fever.
I checked for other areas,
but I don't think we can insert a new one due to his tattoo infection.
Even if we manage to do it, the area will get infected again.
So?
How's he going to get a transplant when he's not even next in line?
The paramedic who was declared brain-dead just now
has the same blood type.
Eun-jae, you're serious?
Please allow me to do an HLA typing and a crossmatch test.
If it's a match,
my patient will be made a priority.
Right?
I can't agree to this.
I just want to check if she's a suitable donor. That's all.
Her only daughter was declared brain-dead.
Shouldn't we give her time to mourn?
I understand where you're coming from,
but isn't it a good thing that she can give it to someone who really needs it?
And she has a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
If we don't get the timing right,
she may not be able to donate her organs at all.
Do you...
Do you only care about your patient?
Is it wrong to want to save him while we can?
We must pay our respects.
Why don't you get it?
Are you being like this because he's a lifer?
-What? -He killed two people.
Isn't that why you're being like this?
She's a human being.
Okay?
She was someone's daughter,
a paramedic, and a person named Choi Soon-young.
Don't treat her as just an organ donor.
She's a human being.
What are you...
talking about?
You'll donate my daughter's organs...
to whom?
Why?
Why did her mother suddenly decide against it?
It's not uncommon for guardians to change their minds, you know.
Let's give her some time.
Gosh.
We have six patients on the waiting list.
One of them is a 16-year-old pianist who can't see.
And a man whose son's getting married.
She'd give them a second chance at life.
Could you try to persuade her mother?
No.
I'm not going to do that.
I'll be grateful if she willingly decides to donate her daughter's organs.
But even if she doesn't,
I don't want to pressure her or make her uncomfortable in any way.
The recipients are important, of course.
But we should respect the decisions of the donors and their families first.
It shouldn't be the other way around.
Was I wrong again?
I guess you and Nurse Park make plans together
and even go on dates now.
Oh, that.
We were just going to grab some beer.
At Once in a While?
Well, yes.
I knew it.
I knew it'd be you.
Sorry?
Never mind.
Anyway, congratulations.
-On what? -Your future together.
What? What do you mean?
There's nothing going on between us.
Right?
There's nothing going on between you two.
But I lost my chance before I could even start.
I'm sad.
Did you tell Nurse Joo that we were
meeting up for beer last night?
No, I didn't.
Then how did she find out?
Nurse Um seemed to know about it too.
Why? What did Nurse Joo say?
Out of the blue, she congratulated us on our "future together."
Then she said she never even got a chance.
What if everyone in the ER thinks that?
-You don't want them to? -Of course not.
There's nothing going on between us.
We haven't even done anything yet.
I thought we did.
My gosh.
You're very straightforward.
Does it make you uncomfortable?
Then I'll slow down a little.
Wow, you can even control your pace?
You seem like a total pro.
I once had a crush on someone.
But I never expressed my feelings...
until she left...
and that's how it ended.
I won't repeat the same mistake.
Are you asking me out...
right now?
I'll never be late again.
But promise me that you'll never
eat fried chicken with someone else when we're supposed to hang out.
We'll remove the catheter.
Got it.
He needs a fever reducer as well.
Excuse me.
Wait.
Please let me in just once.
Please let me see my son just this once.
No visitors are allowed
outside of the visiting hours.
Gosh, my poor son.
What will happen to him?
Well, due to the infection getting worse,
we've decided to remove the catheter.
We'll look for another blood vessel, but it won't be easy.
If he can't receive dialysis, he probably...
won't last for more than three days.
My son...
My poor son...
No...
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
My poor son.
What am I going to do now? My poor son.
No...
ADMIN OFFICE, TREATMENT ROOMS
Here.
Doctor Kim told me to give you this.
CHOI SOON-YOUNG
I heard he was bullied in school.
The young man serving a life sentence.
His mom gave him medicine which was supposed to help him
concentrate better...
and that's how his kidneys failed.
His classmates bullied him because he was always on dialysis.
After putting up with it for a while, he finally lost it and ended up...
killing two people.
It's all my fault.
I was obsessed with money.
I was so focused on earning money...
that I had no idea what my son was going through.
I just kept telling him to get good grades.
It is all my fault.
It's my fault that those kids died.
And because of me, my son ended up...
It really is all my fault.
That's how all moms are.
When anything bad happens to their kids...
they always think it's their fault.
The organ donation.
I'll do it.
My daughter had a knack...
for helping and rescuing those in need.
I guess she wanted...
to save a life even as she's dying.
The sadness
of having to say goodbye to a loved one...
can give hope...
to someone else.
-Mom. -And to some...
it can also give the motivation to tackle this thing called life, once again.
CHOI SOON-YOUNG
Until the whole process is completed,
we must do our best
to honor the donor as well as her mother.
Let's be as respectful as we can...
in our next procedures.
Yes, Doctor Kim.
Got it.
PATIENT TRANSPORT
We'll turn off the ventilator and set off.
-Got it. -Okay.
I see. Okay.
RECEPTION, OUTPATIENT CARE
Choi Soon-young is on her way down.
Please be ready.
EMERGENCY PATIENTS WILL BE SERVED FIRST
OPERATING ROOM, ELEVATORS
Goodbye.
My dear daughter.
Thank you for being my daughter.
I love you.
Ma'am.
We'll take her in now.
Okay.
-Ma'am. -Gosh.
Soon-young.
Let's pay our respects to the deceased.
All bow.
Thank you.
Anesthesiologist, can we begin?
Yes, we can.

PATIENT TRANSPORT
The surgery was a success.
The transplant went well, and he's urinating properly now.
We just need to see how he recovers.
I'm glad to hear that.
Are you worried about something?
Well, I'm always the one causing trouble, so that's what I'm worried about.
Why do you say that?
I just feel like I keep finding the wrong answers.
I thought working hard was enough,
but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I wanted to avoid causing others inconvenience,
but even that's not working out.
I've been doing my best,
but do other people feel the same way?
I'm not sure if they do.
Could it be because you're looking for answers set by others?
Forget about the answers that others want.
What is the answer that you want?
Life doesn't always give you answers.
But if you know what you're looking for...
tackling life becomes much easier.
Smile, please.
Look at the camera.
Let's look at the camera on the left.
CHOI SOON-YOUNG
Are you all right?
Hey.
Well, I guess I'm all right.
What about you?
I'm just...
I don't know.
That's okay.
It's impossible to know everything anyway.
ADMIN OFFICE, TREATMENT ROOMS
Don't think that
I tried so hard to help you because I like you.
You're my patient.
Whether you're a lifer or not,
you are my patient.
That's why I did my best to help you.
So you'd better...
become a model prisoner when you return.
Become a model prisoner,
receive parole, and return to society.
Then be a good son to your mother.
Also...
you should try
to help others like Ms. Choi did.
Got it?
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
I will relay...
your words to him when he wakes up.
Thank you. Have a good day.
One down.
HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE
Doctor Yang.
Well...
I decided not to leave.
-What? -I won't look for another job.
I don't know how you can be this brazen and shameless.
I apologize for being brazen and shameless.
But you see,
I can't stop thinking that it's unfair.
I kept working hard even after getting cut on the neck.
All I did was work hard,
so why must I move to another hospital?
-What's with this attitude? -I'm sorry.
I apologize for my attitude.
But you know what?
I'll just keep going.
If I find another job and leave without putting up a fight,
I'll be embarrassed and mad about it forever.
I'll probably resent myself for it.
What's the matter with you?
Are you high? How dare you?
You're right.
I'm on drugs.
Thanks to this medication, I've been able to operate in the OR.
So don't you dare threaten me to leave this hospital.
I won't put up with any further threats.
Please cooperate.
Just one more left.
What are you doing here alone?
I'm just going through the transplant surgery again in my head.
Oh, I see.
My dad is a doctor.
So are my older brother and sister.
My mom is just a stay-at-home mom.
Her biggest joy in life is talking to me on the phone.
Are you bragging about your family?
Among all the doctors in my family, I'm the least competent one.
I see.
That explains your obsession with getting the best grades.
To be honest,
you've always irked me since the day we met.
The feeling is mutual.
I found you irksome too.
You were always cold to everyone.
You were arrogant and hard to approach.
You did everything your way.
You put on airs and complained a lot.
And you thought you were so good-looking.
That's why I thought you were obnoxious.
But...
There's a twist?
I have to say...
I felt a little bad.
Yesterday,
I found out that...
you lost your parents when you were a kid.
When I heard that...
my heart ached for some reason.
There's no need to feel bad for me.
I'm really serious right now.
Right, don't be so serious.
The moment we become serious,
we'll be doomed.
Things will become boring and pointless.
So forget everything you heard.
How can I forget what I already heard?
How do you expect me to forget it all?
Why not?
Should I teach you again?
Teach me what?
How to reset.
