Episode 95
Are you waking up just now, dummy?
What's that to you, dummy?
Why are you wearing your uniform?
Dummy, school's starting again.
What? Oh!
You're just staying home?
You're not even taking prep classes to retake the college entrance exam.
Please take a seat while you wait.
After Dr. Kang quit,
taking on a double patient load here is so hectic.
Just wait a bit. Someone should be coming to help soon.
What are you doing?
Not much.
What are you going to do now?
What do you have in mind?
About what?
Your education.
You can't stay here at home forever.
You want me to take classes at a test prep center?
If I was going to do that, I would've done it sooner. No point now.
I discussed this with your uncle.
What about you going back to school instead of taking test prep classes?
What?
Why are you freaking out?
Just like you took classes with the junior class,
taking senior classes with the same kids might be a good idea.
What! Seriously?! Does that make sense?!
You have Uncle Ji Suk at school too and--
What are you--
Does it make sense to go back to school when I've already graduated?
Are you trying to embarrass me?
It's not embarrassing.
- Your uncle is at school, so-- - No way!
I'm getting tutored regularly by Kim Ji Won!
In that case, I'll take classes nearby.
Will that really be enough for you?
If not, then I'll extend the tutoring hours.
Either way, if you ever tell me to go back to high school,
I won't go to college!
What did Jong Suk say?
He refuses to go back to school, doesn't he?
He won't even hear me out.
What'd I say?
With his pride, there's no way he'll go back to school.
But where is he going to take test prep classes?
I heard you have to take tests to get into the good ones...
He said he'll just go somewhere nearby and get tutored by Ji Won.
That's it for today.
What the heck? It's only been 40 minutes since we started.
Sorry. I have to get some stuff together for school,
and I'm exhausted from school today.
Just let it slide this once.
You're getting lazy...
Then double up tomorrow.
And while we're at it,
I thought about it...
What?
I'm a senior now.
With extra classes and whatnot, it'll be harder for me to make time,
and things will get crazy.
So I was thinking,
what about doing tutoring just once a week on the weekends?
What? Once a week on the weekends?
Please try to understand me.
I'll work that much harder!
Highlight the most important parts so your brain absorbs them!
I'll teach you much more efficiently.
Few days later
Jong Suk!
Where are you going so early in the morning?
I told you.
I'm taking test prep classes starting today.
That's right.
You know that the first day is the most important, right?
Start off on the right foot! Good luck!
What are you talking about.
It's not like I'm going off to battle.
Living our lives is a battle.
Is that so? You sound like an old woman...
I'm going this way.
Study hard.
Good luck to you!
I'm sorry!
It's not a big deal, but she fell on our way out.
It's okay.
I'll clean this and get you a Pororo band-aid. (Pororo: popular children's cartoon character)
I think a wet dressing would be better for that wound.
It's been a while, Lee Ji Hoon.
I heard from the director that you'd come.
I look forward to working togethe--
In order to avoid a scab from forming,
don't you think you should apply a wet dressing rather than a dry band-aid?
While a wet dressing has a lot of pros,
if you account for discharge, this is better.
Plus, this--
Think about what's best for the patient.
What?
That's always been your motto.
Give it some thought.
Doctor, who is that guy?
You mean the new doctor Lee Ji Hoon?
Ever since med school, he and Dr. Yoon have been infamous rivals.
So that's why they were so intense earlier.
I've never seen Dr. Yoon get so stern.
From what I hear, Myung In University's surgical department
is split between Dr. Jang Joon Hyuk who studied in Korea
and Dr. Noh Min Gook from Johns Hopkins University.
The two had an intense showdown.
Dr. Yoon was on Dr. Jang's team
Dr. Lee was on Dr. Noh's team.
So the 2 were always colliding.
It is confirmed that peritonitis is the cause of the appendicitis.
Additionally, there's necrosis of the terminal ileum.
Let's remove the appendix and part of the terminal ileum.
What are you talking about?
If we remove only a fraction of the terminal ileum,
and the bleeding spreads to the colon, what are you going to do?
Do an ileocecectomy so we can avoid a sepsis.
Chances of that are slim.
Let's think of the patient first.
If we remove the ileum too because of that,
the patient will be at a greater risk.
We can remove a portion of the ileum first
and follow up with the patient later.
I've performed end-to-end anastomosis* (*rejoining ends of intestine after surgery)
on 250 patients.
Only 0.5% of those cases led to leakage.
Just follow my reasoning.
I may have less experience than you,
but I've succeeded in 121 functional end-to-end anastomosis operations.
Only 0.2% of those led to complications.
Is that still not good enough?
In the end, both quit for personal reasons,
but once a rival, always a rival.
I see.
So Dr. Lee Ji Hoon is the one being on earth
that the peacemaker Dr. Yoon hates.
I didn't get to welcome you properly earlier.
Anyway, thanks for coming to help us out.
Don't you think you're being too presumptuous?
You may have already heard,
but I'm only helping out a bit here as a favor to the director,
despite my packed schedule before I go to Johns Hopkins.
So you're going to Johns Hopkins in the end.
Congratulations.
What do you think? It's a bit cozier than a hospital,
but we have everything you need.
The people who work here are nice too.
You haven't changed either.
I don't care whether the people I'll be working with are nice or not.
I just came to do the work I was asked to do.
So "remained optimistic" means to have a positive outlook.
So this here would read, "Wall Street analysts remained optimistic."
So what would the answer be?
Yes, it's choice #3, "remained." Does everyone understand?
OK, on to the next question...
I'm home.
You're home early.
Great! Can you go give this to your uncle at school?
It's an important document he left at home.
Sending me out on errands as soon as I get home?
I'm sorry to do this to you,
but I have to go help your dad. He needs more extras.
Alright.
Ma'am, are you hurt?
My knee is throbbing.
What's wrong? Your knee is throbbing?
Yeah. I was putting something on the shelf
when I hit it. It's been hurting since.
I see. Come on in, I'll take a look.
What kind of old-fashioned diagnosis are you gonna give now?
What?
It's a conversation with my patient in my exam room.
I would like it if you could respect that.
Can't a colleague give some pointers?
What are you going to do with the patient?
Won't a local NSAID do in this situation? (NSAID: painkillers)
It doesn't seem like a tendon rupture.
- Let's go in. - One moment!
Aren't you worried about compartment syndrome occurring?
What if there is swelling?
You need to apply an ice pack to the area.
What?
Local NSAID.
Ice pack.
Local NSAID!
Ice pack!
Am I going to die?
Is this a serious disease?
It's not that. It's just in case--
"Just in case" is what doctors unsure of their diagnosis say.
Making a possibly incorrect diagnosis
is not something that is excused at Johns Hopkins.
What is not excused at Johns Hopkins?
You went to the school campus just once before.
I'm going now!
So go!
Don't start fights at our clinic here
and go to Johns Hopkins already!
Let's go inside.
Scary.
What's the difference between a local NSAID and an ice pack
for them to get so heated like that?
It's not that big of a deal.
Ice pack is literally an ice pack.
What?
Then what about local NSAID?
NSAID? A medicated patch.
So just now
they were fighting over whether to put on
an ice pack or a medicated patch?
That's what I'm saying.
I heard they were rivals,
but still, they fight like kids.
What the heck...
We have to take Dr. Yoon's side no matter what.
That goes without saying.
Sorry to make you come all the way here.
Do you have money to take a cab home?
It's fine.
Still, take a cab home.
I must have left my wallet in the office.
Anyways, thanks.
Then why did he act like he was going to give it to me?
Give it to me at home later!
That's my spot.
You seriously--!
No it's not that--
I warned you. Don't mess with me.
The bell for class rang...
That's my spot.
What are you doing here?
I had to drop something off with my uncle.
How are your test prep classes?
Are you learning a lot?
Yeah...it's alright.
Aren't you hungry? Want to go to a deli?
Should we?
Never mind. I'm sorry, I gotta go.
What is stupid doing at school?
Why is he smiling? Is he crazy?
Hey! Go away!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
What is all that?
I saw everything.
Please keep it a secret.
Secret?
We paid for you to take classes and this is what you do?
I'm going to tell Mom and Dad
so they send you back to school!
Don't do that!
That's right, go on and tell them. Hurry!
Stupid is it really hard?
What?
It's unlike me,
but fine. I won't say anything this one time.
What?
I really want to just tell Mom and Dad everything,
but if I do that and you come back to school,
then that's freaking embarrassing.
I don't want to see that happen.
Why is she being nice when I don't need her to be?
Be nice to me from now on, dummy.
Doctor--
What's wrong?
Jin Hee, please file this away.
Okay.
Mi Young, can you get Dr. Lee Ji Hoon's comments on this right now?
I'll get it for you in a bit.
He's squeezing a boil right now.
What? A boil?
Yes. He has a huge boil this big on his back,
and I offered to squeeze it for him,
but he said he'd do it himself...
A huge boil this big?
What?
Yes.
This class is so bad it's unmotivating.
Let's ditch class to go play pool and drink like yesterday.
Dummy
Sorry, I meant to send that to a friend in class.
Please tell on me, Ahn Soo Jung!
Please!
You dummy, stop acting stupid!
I'm going to be nice one more time.
You really have to be nice to me!
What's wrong with her?
- What is it? - I heard.
You have a boil on your back.
Yeah. So?
Is it this? It's big.
What are you doing? Mind your own business and get out.
So I can squeeze it myself.
How are you going to squeeze that yourself?
What if you make a mistake and it becomes a carbuncle?
Like when we were interns. Let me take a look.
I'll take a look at it.
No, this is my business.
It's my boil!
Mind your own business and get out!
Don't do this.
All personal feelings put aside, a boil is a boil.
I'll help you.
Even the most skilled doctor
cannot squeeze the boil on his back.
Leave it to me.
What are you doing, stupid?
Why are you pacing back and forth like that?
You didn't show Mom and Dad that text, did you?
Don't worry, I won't tell.
If I say I'm not going to do it, I really won't. Don't you know me?
Thank you, dear sister.
Let go.
You're so cute I can't let go.
I said let go!
No, I don't want to!
You're digging your own grave!
I am? Did I?
You think I'm not going to say anything?
So what are you going to do?
You're not going to tell Mom and Dad, are you?
You dummy.
You dug yourself a grave.
Mom! Dad! Jong Suk is--
Are you going to do an excision instead of squeezing it?
Yeah, I'm going to have to.
There's also an epidermal cyst inflammation.
The cyst is bigger than I thought.
I'll leave it to you to decide.
Scalpel
This kid...I knew this would happen.
I told you to send him back to school.
How about sending him to the countryside instead?
To become a real person.
That's enough.
Do we really need to send him back to school...
I dare you to do that! I won't just sit and let it happen!
You be quiet!
We let you do what you want and this is what happened!
Did you talk to the dean? What'd he say?
I told him the situation and he said to
send him to school for now. He can start tomorrow.
But if he starts tomorrow we don't have a uniform...
We gave it away after graduation to be reused.
I know Seung Yun has a school uniform,
but don't even dare make me wear that.
I'm going to shred it to pieces.
You're not funny.
He can wear that for now.
Tell Seung Yun to bring the uniform.
So freaking embarrassing!
You deserve it!
Smiling?
Are you smiling right now?
What are you talking about!
How am I going to go back to school tomorrow...
You didn't leave yet?
Well...
I'm not coming starting tomorrow.
They found a new doctor.
Is that so?
So are you going to Johns Hopkins now?
Yeah...
About my boil...
Thank you.
Here you are again after graduation.
Nice to see you again!
You want to die?
I need to kick him out of our family!
Seriously, so freaking embarrassing...
Jong Suk! Let's study hard together again!
You're teasing me too?
I'm not teasing you,
but it is kind of funny.
Who cares? I like being in the same class as you again.
Back in class so soon after graduation?
I'd like to take a look inside your brain.
I'm taking attendance!
1 - Sung Sook Hee
2 - Yeom Seung Hyun
24 - Lim Tae Jun
25 - Han Jun Hyuk
And our class of 2011 graduate, Ahn Jong Suk.
Don't let it get to you.
Delivery!
Who sent this?
Mr. Yoon Gye Sang sent it.
Please sign here.
