[Episode 63]
"A patient's will to get better is more important than any medicine."
One!
Be sharp. You, too.
What brings you here?
We are here for the ingredients.
They are all ready to go, so go back and wait.
- We have to take them ourselves. - Ahem.
You girls are too young and fragile to carry such a heavy bundle.
I can't bear to see those pretty hands carrying heavy things.
Thank you, sir. Then we'll go back and wait.
Alright.
Wait.
Um...
How is Chief Nurse Hong-choon doing?
Please give this to Hong-choon for me.
And my name is Lim Oh-keun.
Did you get that? Lim Oh-keun!
Hong-choon is the only one for me. Why does she keep showing up?
This must be karma, indeed.
I wonder what it is. Should we open it?
She punishes me all the time for smiling at men in the palace.
I wonder what she'll say.
Is it true that she was expelled because she had a fling with a royal physician?
Watch what you say, you foolish girl.
Why is everyone gathered there?
"A patient's will to get better is more important than any medicine."
Two hundred fifty-two.
Sir! Sir, it's terrible!
What's the matter?
Doctor Heo is...
What about Doctor Heo?
He's being punished at the bureau. He's reciting the Physician's Creed.
What? What did he do wrong?
I don't know, but he must recite it a thousand times!
What?
A thousand times? Do they mean to kill him?
What kind of punishment is that?
You recite the principles by walking from the middle gate to the main hall.
Usually people collapse after 300 times.
A royal physician was punished that way, and he nearly died after 500.
Doctor Heo will surely collapse before 1,000 times.
"A patient's will to get better is..."
"...more important than any medicine."
Three hundred sixty-five.
Sir, please stop this. He did more than enough!
Stand back!
Doctor Heo!
Sir, it's me, Kim Man-kyung.
Why is Doctor Heo being punished so severely?
How dare you speak that way? Watch your tongue!
Heo Jun opened a private clinic and broke the rule.
Say no more!
If he's being punished for that, I'm guilty as well, so punish me!
Stand back!
Sir, if you knew the situation at the public hospital,
you would never punish him.
Patients still can't get to their turn even after waiting 3 to 4 days.
They followed Doctor Heo to his house and begged him to treat them.
Would you turn a blind eye on a dying patient, sir?
That is the reality of the public hospital.
But those in charge play chess instead of treating the patients.
Sir, they deserve punishment, not Doctor Heo!
I treat patients at my home, too. You should punish me as well.
What the hell are you talking about?
What are you waiting for? Get him out of here!
Leave us.
Sir!
No matter what the reason, he broke the rule.
I can't stop his punishment. Leave us.
Sir!
We are leaving. You take care of things here.
Yes, sir.
You darn bastards! You call yourselves doctors?
- Calm down, sir. - Let go!
You bastards!
- Sir! - Let go!
"A patient's will to get better is...
"...more important than any medicine."
Six hundred thirteen.
Doctor Heo!
"Prescribe medicine for the King."
"Protect the Sovereign Body."
How is he doing?
I expected him to beg for forgiveness,
but despite his nosebleed, he kept going.
He is one stubborn fellow.
But he probably won't last very long. He can't possibly do it 1,000 times.
"A patient's will to get better is..."
"...more important than... any medicine."
Seven hundred.
- Doctor Heo! - Doctor Heo!
Don't get up. If you can't finish it, do it tomorrow.
Listen to what he says. You will die.
Doctor Heo!
Please listen to them!
Sir, please do something. He'll die.
Doctor Heo had worked with us at the same clinic for years.
Please help him for old time's sake!
It was an order. What am I supposed to do?
That heartless jerk.
When is the doctor coming?
He must be running late. Please wait.
Ma'am!
Jun isn't home yet?
No. He didn't mention a nightshift. I don't know why he is so late.
He must be busy. Don't worry about it.
I don't think he can treat you today. Go on home.
But sir...
You want my help? I can poke you with needles.
Come back tomorrow. He'll cure you completely.
Tomorrow!
Bye!
Who did the night shift last night?
I did.
So when did Heo Jun collapse?
He's still doing it.
What?
He is crawling up the stairs.
"A patient's will to get better is... more important than any medicine."
Nine hundred ninety-nine.
Doctor Heo!
Leave him.
My teacher, I am being punished for trying to keep my promise to you.
I tried to become the true doctor you always wanted.
If I collapse, they'll neglect the poor, saying that's how it has always been.
Please give me strength.
Please...
What were you thinking, turning away a critical patient!
Quiet! I taught you to risk your life for your patients!
I treated a few patients, but I was never paid for it.
You just said you treated people.
Yes, sir.
Are you a doctor?
No, I'm not.
Then how can you treat patients?
You wouldn't dare unless you take people's lives lightly!
I didn't promote you because of your skill and knowledge.
It was because you had compassion for patients and cared about them.
Do not disappoint me.
A doctor must not turn away in fear,
but he must also not be so arrogant that he believes he can cure all.
Risking your life for patients is not always good.
The world needs a doctor like you.
You must do greater things.
Go home.
"Prescribe medicine...for the King."
"Protect...the Sovereign Body."
"A... patient's... will to get better is..."
"...more important than any medicine."
One thousand!
Master, I will never forget your teachings.
I will always remember your compassion and kindness.
