The 3rd Ward
This drama is a fictional story of medical situation, and all conflict between western and eastern medicine in this story is fictional.
First Episode.
Professor, this is the first day for you to work there, but would it be alright if you don't go to the opening ceremony?
No, it wouldn't be alright.
If this surgery is postponed because I have to go to that ceremony,
what is the probability for this patient surviving?
I'm sorry.
If this patient dies and becomes a ghost which keeps following me,
will you pay for its exorcism ceremony?
Finish it.
- Wishing your good health until we meet you again. - Wishing your good health until we meet you again.
Next, Head Director who would supervise overall Seohan National Medical Center,
Director Yang Han Gyu would give us his speech for this opening ceremony.
Thank you.
Huh? Opening Ceremony!
Those... do men like such things?
I'll go first.
Despite this kind of conflict,
our hospital has started to pursue a huge goal,
which is "communication and harmony
between Western Medicine and Traditional Oriental Medicine".
A hospital which prioritizes open-minded treatment,
we'll make that kind of medical environment.
When all doctors in here now have the same enthusiasm and focus as mine
to explore a new world,
we will definitely be able to become a hospital to lead the world ....
Focus, focus!
I have no doubt that we would successfully grow.
Bulls**t!
Attending the opening ceremony? Why do I have to go there?
Hey, I told you Director Chae would declare that you would be the ultimate weapon for Oriental Medicine.
Did you put my words in your ears but swallow them down your throat?
The ultimate weapon is... not an oriental doctor but a tiger!
Haven't you seen that movie yet?
Why are you panting like that?
Are you with a woman...?
You're with a woman now, right?
Yes, I'm with a woman. Why?
I can't continue like this with this rope.
Let's hang up now!
It wasn't a situation that I could stop and leave.
Did they make you perform an emergency surgery even on your first day to be sent out?
Wow... well, I understand how unfair they would feel as they had to send you out without any objection.
They said there was no one available as all others already scrubbed in for other surgeries.
To go to that opening ceremony, do I have to make a patient into a corpse when I could save that life?
Oh, anyway, what to do? A person like you who hates oriental medicine to the bone is sent to work in a collaboration hospital.
Oriental doctors?
How can they be called as doctors? Upon mentioning "e" of evidence, they shut their mouth.
They are finished with that one word, aren't they?
In my case, as that hospital pays a lot, my wife pushed my back to here.
All wives are same. All about money.
Aish, this bastard, are you crazy?
What?
No, I wasn't talking to you, Doctor Lee. I'm driving now, see you later.
Gotcha!
Aish, what again? I told you I'm with a woman. Will you keep bugging me?
Doctor Kim Seung Hyun, Director Chae said if you don't show up now, ...
What? He will take back the house he rented to me? Is that old man senile?
... to this, I'm sure there would be no one to object.
Are you going to come or not?
Thank you for listening.
Next speaker is Director Chae In Gook, who is the director of Oriental Hospital of Seohan Medical Center.
Hey, what is your name?
Please try to move your hand.
I can't hear the breathing sounds from his right lung. It might have been ruptured.
If the air in the thoracic cavity isn't removed, the lung which is supressed by its air pressure will not function properly, so the patient will die.
You must take that patient to the ER within 5 minutes and insert a chest tube.
- Are you a doctor? - Yes.
The closest hospital from here is Seohan Medical Center which is newly opened, but it's not possible to get there within 5 minutes. Can't you come with us?
Luckily, the truck driver's injury was slight, so right now, he's sent to the police station.
Yes, Doctor, I left my position for a moment because of some urgent matter. Do you have any urgent issue....?
What?
Doctor An, pick up the phone, please!
Right now, what is indeed
the excellent talent and the quality
which Korean medical world should use?
Why does nobody pick up the phone?
Fifth,
utilize the strategy, order and law properly.
Emergency! Come to B rosette Room#1.
Hurry, hurry!
It's ER call.
Emergency, emergency!
Likewise, Oriental Medicine of Korea also
has its long history,
and the treatments for the patient.. Everybody!
to read the flow of the time.. hey... and utilize the order of the earth..
Everybody!
What emergency?
The patient's mental state is semi-coma. (only react to a strong stimulation) BP 170/100. pulse 120. I performed needle decompression. Send him to OR.
Yes.
Hey,
what brought you here?
I'm a doctor of this hospital.
A doctor?
You'd better say you came to this hospital for hiking.
I said I'm a doctor.
Aish, I have no time to play a joke with you, so leave now.
Doctor, doctor, here!
For emergency treatment, we start as of tomorrow.
My child.. my child seems to have convulsion. Please take a look!
If it's urgent, you should go to another hospital.
I told you my child seems strange!
Then, I will make some calls, so please wait for a moment.
When my child might die, how can I wait.....?
I understand how you feel now, but...
Nurse Han, look for other interns too!
Yes, I will go find them.
Who are you?
Hey, what are you doing here now? Leave right now!
I said I'm an Oriental doctor!
Subtitles brought to you by the Third Ward Team@viki.com.
He was playing well earlier,
but all of sudden he convulsed.
There must be some Qi point blocked.
Was he eating something?
No.
He was playing with his toys and dolls.
Scalpel.
What do you mean, scalpel?
Don't you know what scalpel means? A knife!
- Because I have to perform tracheostomy. - You said earler that you're an oriental doctor!
That's right! And hurry to give me a scalpel!
With all due respect, I can't give you as per the medical law.
Scalpel.
Over there, the doctor who is performing this surgery now
is the son of Doctor Kim Ha Yoon,
who is called the "Hands of God in Neurosurgery".
Really?
What's this?
It's not from the Middle meningeal artery.
Suction.
It's from a dural sinus rupture. Gauze.
It's the worst case.
Is it hopeless?
Among all kinds of epidural hemorrhage, it's accompanied by skull fracture
and dural sinus rupture.
Even if it's a vein, this is a big vein rupture.
It's hard to stop the hemorrhage,
so most patients die at the end.
Aigo, then, that doctor should've sent this patient to some other hospital,
but on the opening ceremony day, while all the investors are gathered here,
aigo... well, this is...
Aigo, geez...
Geez...
Doctor,
can't we just cover it and leave the OR?
If we just cover it and leave, this patient will die.
When the hemorrhage is severe like this, can you suture it?
If I don't suture, this patient will die, you idiot!
But, at this rate, we will have table death. [table death : when a patient dies during surgery.]
I will take care of it myself, shut up!
Patch Graft. [artificial blood vessel which will patch the damaged blood vessel's wall]
It seems he will try to restore the damanged blood vessel part.
When the hemorrhage is severe like that, will it be possible?
Anyway, this patient will die.
Who knows, if that guy is another "Hands of God" like his father...
Then, today, a new legend will be born here.
Doctor, my child... he's alive, right?
He's alive, but it can be that he's not alive.
Do you mean, such as a vegetative state?
Yes.
Oh my god... what should I do...
Doctor,
Doctor, please save him.
Doctor, please save my child!
Doctor!
Please save my child! What can I do for him now?
Doctor....
Caused by wad of cotton blocking the airway,
coma after respiratory obstruction.
To enhance a man's Yang Qi,
use Hae Yang Gu acupuncture so that we can bring his consciousness back.
Jin Hye In.
- Yes. - Secure my view well.
Yes, I understand.
- Make sure to stabilize the patient's vitals. - Yes.

A long needle on Bae Hwe (center point where 100 kinds of Qi gathers)
To give a strong stimulation, I'm using a long needle,
but to a little child whose Qi hasn't matured,
it can be very dangerous.
However, if he doesn't regain his consciousness even after this,
as far as I know, there is...
no more options.
Thank you!
Since when have they been there?
Since earlier!
That Oriental Doctor who is called "The second Heo Joon", you were so proud of him, but where is he now?
Oh, he called that he would be a bit late because of some issue.
He's so extraordinary, so there are so many places asking him to come.
I heard that the opening ceremony isn't finished yet.
What? An oriental doctor performed tracheostomy for an emergency patient?
This incident was in a special circumstance, so we will tolerate it, but..
Doctor Kim Seung Hyun!
Yes.
It will never be forgiven again if this kind of arrogation happens again,
such as an oriental doctor using a scalpel..
I performed the incision not with a scalpel, but with my needle.
But,
I saved a life of that kid, but how can you give me 1 month salary reduction?
Then, why did you perform tracheostomy upon your arrival and make all this ruckus?
I told you that the kid's breathing was gone!
Anyway,
you know why I called you to come here, right?
Why are you suddenly quiet? Why aren't you answering to me?
I don't know.
- You really don't know? - No, I don't know.
You, 2 month salary reduction!
Ah, seriously! Why are you doing this to me once I came here?
Why did I call you to come here? Huh?
These people are glaring at us,
and trying to find excuses about us, Oriental doctors.
But why did I come here as Director of Oriental Hospital of this integrated medical center?
If you're trying to catch a tiger, you should go into the tiger's cave.
Even if it's a bit inconvenience, dirty and disgraceful,
you should be among those people,
and show them why our Oriental Medicine has been carried over for thousands of years,
why our Oriental Medicine is the great traditional medicine.
We should show them!
Got it?
If it works, the paradigm of Medicine will change. Do you understand?
Yes.
I trust you, okay?
If you get hit on your foot by the axe you trusted, it will hurt.
What the!

Aish.. I thought this was your room.
Go find some pretty nurses.
I've already checked about that 50,000 years ago.
Seung Hyun,
this time,
I think I finally met my real fate.
When was it not your fate?
Under the Emergency Medicine Department, 1st year of resident in Neurosurgery.
Jeong Seung Hee.
What? Western Medicine doctor?
I said I met my fate,
so I can even cross the borders if needed.
You'd rather cross the border. That would be easier.
Ah, this rascal, discouraging me from the beginning...
Did you root it out yourself from the mountain?
Oh, this rare one, where did you find it?
I said I found it from the mountain!
Hey, sell this to me.
How much, huh? How much?
How much is it?
That's right.
As this month's salary is reduced to half,
give me as much as that reduction and take that. What do you think?
My wallet must be in my car... Where is my wallet...?
What is this?
Wow... what a beauty, beauty...
Hey, hey, is it your girl?
Super super ultra world best beauty!
It's my mom whom you don't know.
Well.. is it your mother?
Since Director Chae is like a fox,
he said it first to reduce his salary for one month, so they let it slide.
How dare a mere oriental doctor...
perform a tracheostomy on a patient, tracheostomy!
Even if it was before opening the hospital, if the rumor spreads out
that we neglected an emergency patient, it's not good for the hospital either.
Right...
Going down.
I came here as I heard they would pay a lot, but I think I shouldn't have come...
Collaboration with oriental doctors... it sounds great with the word "collaboration",
but the basic perspective toward medicine itself is totally different, so how can it work?
At least, we can let them realize that modern medicine and traditional medicine can't protect the earth together.
Right, as neurosurgeons of Han Gook University Hospital,
knock out such oriental medicine ("Hanbang") with one punch! ("Hanbang") homophones with two meanings]
Hanbang... hanbang...
Let's go.
Everybody is waiting for you.
- Here, cheers to Neurosurgery! - Cheers!!
Oh, what are you doing?
The beef smells like perfume!
My clothing smells like the beef now.
Doctor Jin,
have a shot from me.
Doctor Jin, I heard your father is an oriental doctor.
Oh, Doctor Jin, is your father an oriental doctor?
Yes.
Wow, why is a daughter of the enemy's general here now, huh?
Not going to the university of oriental medicine?
I came here to overcome the limit of oriental medicine.
What is that limit of oriental medicine which you're trying to overcome?
Lack of evidence...
How can we overcome the lack of evidence in oriental medicine?
Oriental medicine is basically a philosophy from the root, not medicine, got it?
Lack of evidence in such oriental medicine,
do you think you can overcome that?
Well, in my opinion, ....
An incompetent guy (implying himself) taught her only braveness, so she's always like that.
Speaking of incompetence, a girl applying for neurosurgery, this situation itself is the limit, isn't it?
My goal is to become a chief of Neurosurgery!
Hey, you're a doctor, but don't you know the biological features of men and women?
I don't understand why a girl like you who has such good marks came to Neurosurgery which even men try to avoid and volunteers for all those trouble.
Biologically unsuitable, you too are unsuitable, aren't you?
Pardon?
Your brain. It's a trance bonehead, isn't it?
Bonehead is too much...
You would want to deny it, but that's an unavoidable and uncomfortable truth.
Face it and accept it.
Let's drink.
It's not like I don't want to eat.
But I heard it's anorexia accompanied by bulimia.
If I eat any, I vomit and have diarrhea. My intestines hurt like squeezing them.
Right, they also said I have irritable bowel syndrome.
Because of that, I've taken tranquilizers for many years.
I've suffered for 7 years, so malnutrition and osteoporosis are getting worse.
They are even telling me to get the brain picture taken.
Is there any specific food that you take frequently?
I was told to take carbohydrates that can be easily digested.
But after that, vomiting and stomach ache, and even diarrhea got worse.
After carbohydrate intake, vomiting got worse?
Yes.
It's celiac disease.
It's "Ban Wi Gu Eol". (an Oriental medicial term - vomitting as a stocmach doesn't accept the food.)
It's a type of Immune disorder.
"Ban Wi" and "Sik Bi". (Sik Bi : phlegm and extravasated blood gathered in pit of stomach.)
You are having an allergic reaction to gluten which is a major component of carbohydrates.
So you should not consume any carbohydrates.
Looking at the blue color of the ridge of your nose, you were born with weak stomach.
The energy in your spleen is also very frail.
-[DH] : It usually occurs to children, -[SH] If a healthy spleen's function is scale 10, -[DH] : but sometimes it happens to adults too. -[SH] : your function is just scale 1 or 2.
I will use acupuncture on points called "Gongson" and "Joonghwan" so that vomitting can be reduced and I will prescribe medicine which will enhance the function of your spleen and stomach.
You should avoid carbohyrates in your food. I will prescribe medicine for allergies.
I've been fortunate to find the herb that can be found in a very steep cliff occasionally.
Because there was so little ingredient, I couldn't make a lot. But I was able to make a few oriental medicinal pills.
Oh, oh, okay. Tell me the address.
Yes, yes. Let me send it to you first and you can confirm it. Okay.
Hey, you, pervert!
Doctor Jeong, are you alright?
Oh my!
What is this ajumma saying?!
You didn't hear me? You, pervert!!
Pervert?
That's right! If someone who puts his head in between a woman's legs is not a pervert ("Byun Tae"), then is he a dried pollack ("Hwang Tae")?
No, I was merely trying to pick up my oriental medicine pill. You must have misunderstood.
Ack! What are you doing? He must be crazy!
My pill!
Where is my pill? Huh? My pill!
Where is my pill? Huh?
Woah, woah! He is putting up a show!
-Dirty person! -Dirty person? Hey!
What do you think you are doing?
Ouch...
Stupid fool! You should have just died!
Hey, Kim Doo Hyun!
Why are you being like this?
-Hahaha -Grandma.
You came.
Even a tiger comes when it is being talked about. ("speaking of the devil")
You sure are not a noble man.
So how are you feeling?
Well, because of my age,
it's not being cured easily. But I think it's getting better.
That's good to hear.
Can I hold our grandma's wrist?
But Doctor Kim. It's about time for you to get married.
Yes, of course, I should get married.
Ah, in his passionate youth, it is normal to have that sort of feeling when he sees a beautiful girl.
Subtitles brought to you by the Third Ward Team@viki.com.
Oh, our grandma must have heard a strange rumor somewhere.
It's a misunderstanding.
Would there be a smoke when there is no fire in the chimney?
This is the answer.
That's because you are of age and not married yet.
Ah, hurry up and get married soon.
There are so many pretty girls in the hospital, too.
What good is it if there are plenty?
There is no girl that interests me.
A dog is refusing a poop.
This is right. Right?
I have a granddaughter. Would you like to meet her?
If you keep staring at her face, you could say that she is a girl.
But besides everything else,
she is a really nice girl in her heart.
Not the heart but
the body and the face should be nice!
Ha! It's betting better and better!
Hey, you kicker!
Are you saying that to me?
Yes?
What are you talking about?
Didn't you say it for me to hear?
I am in the middle of doing a crossword puzzle in the newspaper.
You must have a guilty conscience.
Is that so?
Why are you taking it? I was doing a game of Sudoku.
Hey, look at this! I knew it!
Oh, it's almost time for surgery!
Where do you think you are running away to?
Where are you holding?! This is why you are called a pervert.
I am not a pervert!
To see is to believe. Don't you know that?
There is an Emergency Call. Emergency Call.
Well, there is an emergency call. So, bye.
Hey!
Aigoo!
How can my son's hand be like this?
Do you know how I raised you?
Don't worry about it, son.
Mommy will take care of everything.
What is the matter?
How did you do the surgery that
he cannot open or close his right hand properly?
Hold my hand tightly with your right hand.
My son is a piano teacher in college!
But when you make his hand like this, what are we going to do?
This patient's cranial bone was crushed when he came in with a car accident.
It is really good that the side effect is only this much after the surgery.
Only this much side effect?
If you've done the surgery properly, why would there be such a side effect?
The surgery was done prior to the hospital's opening ceremony. Could it be a medical malpractice?
That is definiltely not it.
Then.
Is there any murderer that says, "I've killed a person?"
Do you think I won't do anything about this?
This is too much when you should be bowing down with gratitude.
Say what?
If it weren't for our doctor, that patient, Han Sang Joon, would be playing
Go-Stop [Korean card game] with his troubled right hand with a Grim Reaper at this time.
He had not only the brain damage, but also the hemorrage in his chest!
You were very lucky that day!
You should take it as a miracle that he is this much recovered.
[Globalization of Medical Collaboration of East and West]
Hey, doctor on duty!
Let my son receive an Oriental Medical treatment.
We cannot hand him over to the Oriental Medical team since our treatment has not finished yet.
What?
Western medicine and Eastern medicine is completely different with medication as well as the treatment.
So it is our hospital policy not to give Western and Eastern treament simultaneously, until one side is completed.
There is also a matter of responsibility, should there be any problem during the treatment.
There is a right timing to treat an illness.
Once we finish up with the surgery treatment, we will let him receive the Oriental medical treatment during rehabilitation.
So you are saying that my son's hand will be fixed even if he gets the Oriental Medicine treatment later.
That's not what I meant...
Then, he can't get the Oriental Medical treatment and you don't have the confidence to fix his hand.
Are you telling us to just wait around and do nothing?
Let him receive the Oriental Medical treatment!
His surgery treatment has not finished yet.
We don't know when he may get cerebral edema or sepsis.
What do you mean Oriental Medical treatment?
Are you asking this question after having any thoughts about it?
I understand.
It will be difficult to recieve Oriental Medical treatment at this point.

What kind of collaboration hospital is this?
If it's going to be like this,
why did you post something like this?!
Always keep your body warm. I will see you in 3 days.
-Smile a lot! -Alright. Thank you very much.
What do you mean, I can't?!
Doctor!
Please help him!
Did patient Han Sang joon go somewhere?
You can't just come to me.
I can only receive him when the doctor on duty gives a formal request for collaboration.
She says we can't until after the surgery treatment is completed.
When will that treatment end and then get the Oriental medical treatment?
I'd like to help, too. But there are hospital procedures.
If I treat him with the surgeon's consent, and if something goes wrong with your son, then I will...
If he is your own younger brother, would you still say that?
If he is my bother, they probably wouldn't fire me.
Take a look at him.
He just turned 1.
With his hand like that, he will get fired from the college.
Then, right away,
we can't even afford milk for this little one.
You doctors can just blame on the hospital procedures and don't give him treatment.
And you can just sleep well at night.
But as for us, we will be in tears for the rest of our lives.
What this this little baby do wrong?
Aish. The heck with it!
Let's do it! The treatment!
I've tried to get the consent from the doctor on duty but...
the mother insisted that he should get the acupuncture treatment right away.
Take all those needles out!
What the heck are you doing?

Even after 10 years, your temper still sucks.
When you know my temper, you dare to play like this?
You jerk came home alone without Seung Hyun?
Even if the world has flipped,
a bloodline is a bloodline.
You stupid fool. Why didn't you just die?
-Huh -Hey, Doctor Kim!
Kicker, yours? Or mine?
He is a person that if I see his eyes, I'd like to take those eyes out!
Ack!
Alright!
The result of acupuncture treament depends on how accurately you can find the point of blood flow.
Jin Hye In.
Because he is not your patient, you don't care or WHAT?!
I have not given my consent for this patient's Oriental medical treatment.
I know.
What? Please take the needles out. Right now.
10 minutes.
i will take it out in 10 minutes.
I have something urgent to discuss.
I'd like to request a one on one meeting.
What are you trying to do now?
This is the last time I'll let it slide.
