It looks like this can’t do, Professor. Jung Ha Yun & Baek Hyun Woo, switch places.
She can do it. Please wait a moment longer.
I can do this…please give me some time.
You’re doing an appendectomy. You’re talking nonsense here. The situation you are in will lead to problems.
Proceed.
Pass me the long forceps.
Mixter forceps.
That’s correct. You need to go deeper to find it.
I've found it!
Babcock forceps.
The appendix has been located correctly.
You’ve done well.
- Now do the incision on the vermiform appendix. - Yes.
Byrant …..
Tie!…
Cut...
Knife!
Episode 4
Congratulations!
- You’ve done well. - Thank you.
This brat!
I….am I still alive?
Of course. I’m still alive.
Brat!
What's this? Why is it so awful?
I wanted to stitch with a dragon on it but with your abdomen, it was impossible for that. You need to do more exercise.
Look at his abdomen. His abdomen muscle is so thick in fat.
What about the patient Jang Sik Jin? How did she do?
If after anesthesia I can’t regain consciousness, the situation is not good.
I can’t pull through the operation if my body can’t sustain it.
I want to see how you would feel being a patient. How does it feel?
Yes, it’s like begging. I’m feeling foul. Is that fine with you?
Please, I beg you to stop these pranks. Don’t go on testing me. My patience has a limit.
No matter what happens, I don’t have any more sympathy for you. I don’t really wish to see you.
Jang Sik Jin: Dr Choi, I wish your surgery will be success.
I apologize for giving you such a hard time, so I have prepared something for you.
If by chance I were not to regain consciousness, please open my bed side locker.
There is a love letter. If you are free, go & have a look.
Dr Choi, for some time, I have tortured & troubled you. I’m really sorry.
At 25 years old, I was diagnosed with terminal intestinal cancer. It has been 10 years that I have been through this kind of life.
I have cried so much and hated so many things. I thought if I can torture the Doctors, it’s my confirmation that I’m still living.
Thank you for being able to take in all my vicious pranks.
There’s one final thing I wish to tell you Dr Choi.
I have overheard you telling the nurse you’re letting the patient off the hook because the patient is dying.
The patient puts her trust in the Doctor whether she lives or dies.
Once the Doctor tells the patient that she’s dying, it’s very difficult to have the strength to pull through.
Next time, please don’t give up on your patient.
You need to assure the patient until the very end.
Really! I heard that Dr Choi’s stethoscope is already old & worn out. Please change it with this.
Please, you must become a great Doctor.
Piglet! Are you alright?
Yes.
Let me have a look. Pull up your shirt.
Let’s take a look.
How far is your recovery?
Your abdomen has some heat gas. Bowel sounds have also been detected.
Fine! Rest for 2 days before you get discharged.
Allow me to discharge now.
What?
I’m fine. You can allow me to discharge now.
What’s wrong with you? You’re so stubborn.
No matter how much work you do, you need to find opportunity to rest.
I don’t have the time to be playing jokes.
Fine! If you wish to do so, so be it.
Why have you come?
When were you discharged?
Now!
Didn’t Dr Jung Ha Yun say that you need to be discharged at least in a day or 2?
It’s no longer painful. There’s no need to lie in bed.
Why are you looking at me with those eyes?
Why does it feel very strange?
Oppa! Could it be that the surgical operation had gone wrong?
It looks like it.
Really! Please don’t joke.
Eun Ji, next time you can play jokes on me. The same goes to you, Hyung. After this, I’ll change & get rid of this “jin sang” (jinx) image.
You need to help me on this. I will follow my role model to become a completely new Doctor.
Then who is your role model?
Professor Han Gi Tae. I want to follow the likes of Professor Han Gi Tae.
I want to gain Professor Han Gi Tae’s recognition & become his research staff. Just wait & see.
Please let me through.
Has that brat gone mad? All of the sudden he wants to change dramatically.
He’s always like that. This can only last a week.
Do you want to bet on it? 10,000?
Deal.
I’m Kum Sun Hyun from Dong Sung newspaper. I’d like to ask Mr. Yi a question.
What is the reason you chose Professor Hang Gi Tae’s robotics in your pancreatic islet surgical operation?
As far as we know, robotics has a success rate of 44% than normal surgical procedures.
It’s only Professor Han who has achieved that.
The success rate of the pancreatic operations is important.
Professor Han Gi Tae’s meticulous surgical techniques are used in our company as standard procedures to our machines.
So even the world’s surgeons will follow those standard procedures when they use this machine?
Of course.
The American Surgeon Association, who invites Surgeon from all over the world, recognizes Han Gi Tae’s surgical techniques.
I’m Park Jung Tae from Han Sung newspaper. I’d like to ask Professor Han Gi Tae a question.
Almost everyone knows that pancreatic islet transplant operation is really complicated.
What are the benefits of using such robotics to conduct the surgery?
Yes. Normally, the robotics is used to into more detailed, advanced & complex surgery.
For example, if a surgery needs to be meticulous and precise, the robotics can be used in the process.
This is the greatest advantage in using the robotics.
Moreover, there is less traumatic blood loss & post operation medication process in recovery.
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
- Here! - Yes
Well done. You have done well!
Next time, we’ll be able to read a medical text book authored by Professor Han Gi Tae.
He has now received fame from the robotics techniques and the Surgery profession will forever remember this day.
It was even broadcast on the 9 o’ clock news.
Aigoo! Because of your good fortunes, the hospital has received free publicity.
Professor Han Gi Tae has already a lot of patients to attend to.
It looks like there will be more.
Tomorrow patients will be storming here in number in the hospital.
We can’t refuse patients to come here & seek treatment. This is definitely an era of glory & honor to our profession.
Yes.
Professor Kim’s stem cells surgical technique will be incorporated in the robotics.
More good news are coming this year.
Really? Is the progress going well?
Yes.
Everybody is working in the best of their ability.
This is a great opportunity.
We can see the emergence of the great surgeon’s honor & glory once again.
The robotics surgery must be outstanding.
Of course. It’s the same as winning the gold medal in baseball.
Baseball gold medal?
Baseball originated from America but was defeated by the Cubans in the world games.
In the Olympics they didn’t win the gold medal.
Robotics surgery is strongest in America but this is taken over by our countrymen. Time is changing.
Everybody must learn well from Professor Han Gi Tae.
It’s good for you Baek Hyun Woo. You have already earned recognition from Professor Han.
Choi Jin Sang. What are you doing there?
I’m just…..
After this, don’t talk to Choi Jin Sang…recently, he can’t take a joke.
Why?
Image making is currently in progress so he can gain Professor Han Gi Tae’s recognition & become his staff.
If Professor Han Gi Tae recognizes you, I’ll be your Junior, you brat.
Same here.
Dr Choi Jin Sang is leaving the room.
Yes, goodbye.
Please walk slowly…This is scary.
Fine. Just go ahead & laugh your heads off. I’ll give you something to be surprised about.
Please endure a little longer. It’ll be over soon…this is fine…there we go…
- Please help me to clear this. - Yes.
What is this? Why is it so soiled? Really! Who’s patient…
I had helped you out on something.
What’s that?
You’ll know when you see it.
- How are you? How do you feel today? - I'm alright.
Let me have a look.
Then…it's not…
Who had done this?
Me.
Why?
Dr Beak forgot to change the dressing, so I decided to help him to do it.
Did I say to change the dressing?
That...
Didn’t I say before we need to observe how the standard of the soiled gauze will be?
I didn’t know. I’m sorry.
He doesn’t know about that because he has just been discharged today.
He didn’t know your instruction. I should have been more attentive to the matter. I’m sorry.
How can you touch a patient without prior knowledge or permission from the Doctor in charge?
I’m sorry.
No…it’s not. This is not the Professor Han Gi Tae consultation office. This is the Surgical Dept.
In the Surgical dept there are individual offices…yes…
If you wish to see Professor Han Gi Tae…please make an appointment…yes.
Is that a call for Professor Han Gi Tae?
Yes. Oh! I have received about 10 similar calls today.
Is the consultation room even more exciting?
There are so many patients. It was a chaotic out there.
Who’s the snake?
This is Surgical dept Jung Ha Yun…yes…I’m on duty….yes…I understand.
I’m off.
- Where is the patient? - Over there
- I’ll explain his symptoms & condition before you go & see him. - Yes
A year ago he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer & had pancreatectomy surgery in another hospital.
He was in remission not long ago when his cancer relapsed.
That hospital suggested to the patient to undergo cancer treatment.
But he doesn’t trust the Doctors in that hospital. He wants to see Professor Han Gi Tae for a 2nd opinion.
Why ER and not the consultation room?
The consultation appointment is fully booked. Professor Han Gi Tae’s surgery is already booked for the next few months.
That’s why he was admitted to the ER.
I know that you’re anxious, but it’s going to be difficult.
Doctor, please help me. I must see Professor Han Gi Tae.
If you’re able to see the Professor, he won’t be able to give you a consultation.
Please….please help me Doctor. If this goes on, I’ll die.
There are still many things that I can’t let go just yet.
There must be many people seeking treatment and consultation. Being a Star Surgeon must be tiring.
There are some.
Please hold this tightly.
Professor.
Professor, I’m really grateful that you’re able to see me.
I heard that your pancreatic cancer had a recurrence.
That’s what the other hospital Doctors said.
I had done the surgery & it’s just over a year when it recurred.
I don’t believe what the other Doctors had said.
Did you bring your consultation notes?
I gave them to this Doctor.
Professor.
This patient had received treatment of gemcitabine drug analog with chemotherapy & radiation therapy.
At present, the fever is at 7.8 degrees. There are traces of jaundice.
The relapse in pancreatic cancer has a higher ratio than any other cancer.
The diagnosis of that hospital may be correct.
There’s no way I’ll believe it.
Please help me and take a look at it.
I’ll believe in the Professor’s diagnosis.
Then we’ll have a scan to check on it.
Is the scan result out yet?
How are you?
How do you feel?
Is the result out yet?
Just as we suspected, there is cancer relapse.
I apologize that I can’t bring you better news.
Now, what am I suppose to do?
You should immediately receive the cancer treatment.
Is taking the cancer treatment will only give me 6 months to live?
However, you mustn’t give up hope.
53 years old, male. He was first diagnosed of pancreatic cancer. A year ago he underwent pancreatectomy.
After the surgery, the cancer treatment used was gemcitabine analog with chemo therapy.
After the check up, pancreatic cancer relapse is suspected. He was admitted to the ER.
After examination & diagnosis, mass was found at the common bile duct. What is seen at the CT may be small.
After CA19-9 blood test, it's already spreading. (CA19-9 is a blood test from the tumor marker category)
Now there is no alternative to undergo another surgery.
I’d like to transfer this case to the medical dept for chemo treatment. Next……
Wait a moment.
Except from pancreatic cancer relapse, could there be other symptoms that occurred?
What are you referring to as other symptoms?
The gall bladder is already enlarged & there are gall stones.
There is a possibility that the gall bladder is suffering inflammation.
PET-CT had emerged uptakes and CA19-9 reading is high.
The possibility of other symptoms is least possible.
Next.
This 36 years old female. A 3cm mass was discovered in her left breast.
- Cholangitis? - Yes. (Cholangitis – inflammation of the common bile duct)
Have this reexamined to confirm. Wouldn’t this be better?
What makes you think that this is Cholangitis?
In a CT scan, it’s not definite to affirm at times…just like…
That…
I have an appointment that I need to go to.
If you think it is so, just ask to conduct a staff meeting to determine your theory.
This…there’s no need to blow this out of proportion.
Professor Han…
Let's continue this discussion at the staff meeting.
At the conference just now, Professor Kim Do Hoon was slightly out of line.
What?
The way I see it, it looks like he feels that Professor Han Gi Tae is too outstanding.
Maybe he wants challenge him.
How can this be?
Professor Kim is not that kind person.
Big News! Headlines….headlines.
Professor Han Gi Tae & Professor Kim Do Hoon are battling it out.
Battling?
Whose diagnosis is accurate, Professor Han Gi Tae or Professor Kim Do Hoon? It needs to be decided at the staff meeting conference.
Baek Hyun Woo, who do you think will win this?
I can’t say. I’m not clear on this matter.
- If Baek Hyun Woo is not clear, how can we know? - Correct
What is there to agree?
Jin Sang, how about you?
Of course it will be Professor Han Gi Tae…really!
This brat, you really have a one track obsessive love for Professor Han Gi Tae.
Jin Sang, does Professor Han Gi Tae have any knowledge of your existence?
Don’t know….I just don’t know.
You brats, can’t you keep quiet.
That Kim Do Hoon is really a joke. Doesn’t he have any other cases to do?
- Can’t say? - Really.
Are you here for the staff conference?
Yes.
That Kim Do Hoon…is really. He’s not even the Surgeon in charge.
He should stay out of the matter.
We’re all very busy people and yet he insists of doing this.
It's only natural for people to feel envious.
There are gallstones in the gall bladder. There is possibility of inflammation in the common bile duct.
This happens especially when the gall bladder area is so thick.
The liver with various coloring shows that there is inflammation so it should be from the common bile duct.
Isn’t the patient having fever? PET-CT emerged & pick up in the uptakes of the inflammation.
But the patient’s uptakes may not be substantial to suggest the seriousness of a pancreatic cancer recurrence.
CA 19-9 will increase when there is inflammation & the gall bladder inflammation is causing the jaundice to be suspect as the pancreatic cancer relapse.
If we don’t do any preventive measure, this patient will die of sepsis complication.
Therefore, I’m recommending doing an abdominal surgery to get rid of the gall stones from the gall bladder &
do the tissue sample test to determine if it is malignant.
If surgery is required...
What do you think Professor Han Gi Tae?
It's too early to say that it is gall bladder inflammation.
CT scans are relatively accurate.
The high ratio of possibility is in the cancer relapse, but not as naïve as to just indicate a mere inflammation.
The percentage may be small but we can’t write off the possibility.
This is really so taxing, that requires a simple decision.
Anyone in the medical department have any suggestion on the matter?
Yes. Let me go directly to the eventual results. I think it is a recurrence.
First, pancreatic cancer was already at 3rd stage & it is seen in the result of CA19-9. The result is double than normal evaluation.
I will confirm the diagnosis as a cancer relapse.
What about the comments from the Radiology department?
Professor Kim Do Hoon alleged that there is a high possibility that it is Cholangitis.
The inflammation has enlarged multiple seeding tumors.
The patient has a history of 3rd stage pancreatic cancer therefore there is a higher chance that there is a recurrence.
It’s probable based from the images.
When he was admitted to the ER, his jaundice reading & inflammation was high & had fever.
Maybe there is also the possibility of just a Cholangitis.
It’s not for us to decide whether there is Cholangitis or not.
We’re here to determine & debate on which is the correct diagnosis.
The result shows that we need to examine this further.
There’s a need to do a tissue test to determine whether it is so.
Of course. This will be the accurate method to determine that.
However, the patient underwent a surgery a little over a year and the full recovery may not be likely.
The adhesion at the pancreas will be too deep & thick. It may not be that easy to conduct the surgical procedure.
There is also a concern on the age of the patient. He may not able to survive this surgery.
That’s why I say that this is recurrence based on this reason.
If this patient were to undergo another surgery, he may not be able to recover his health.
Of course the patient’s general condition is not well but still able in his age. I think that it’s worth a try.
It may just be that this patient has Cholangitis only & not what is decided as pancreatic cancer recurrence.
Why don’t we give this a try rather than just let go of this opportunity?
We need to consider the survival rate of the patient. We can’t be using the patient’s life as a gamble to risk in this kind of life threatening game.
We need to have some sense of responsibility. This is my case to decide on the diagnosis & treatment.
For the sake of saving a patient’s life, we need to make a steadfast decision on the matter.
Let’s allow the patient to slightly increase his survival rate & grab this chance. This would be a defensive method of diagnosis.
You may call it defensive diagnosis but I’m giving my diagnosis as pancreatic cancer recurrence & not Cholangitis.
You’re choosing your high risk ratio of surgery. Is this a risk to the patient’s life or a risk to Professor Han’s own medical career?
What I’m hearing from you is your excuse for your unwillingness to undertake this risky surgery.
How can a Surgeon be so stubborn in making this high risk and life threatening decision that will bring the patient to his imminent death?
Both of you are getting overly excited on the issue. Calm yourself down.
Surgeons are not supposed to do defensive diagnosis.
The surgery requires the patient to undergo a great risk.
We need to adhere to the decision of the Surgeon in charge Professor Han Gi Tae.
The decision based on the result is there’s no reason to undergo surgery.
Professor Kim, the debates & arguments end here.
Yes.
Thank you to everyone who rendered their precious time to us for this debate.
This is really an opportunity for us here to learn.
All of you can carry on with your respective duties.
The 2 Professors didn’t look like they were joking. It looks like they were rivals.
Will they eventually become enemies?
They’re not children. If there’s a difference of opinions and they become enemies every time, then the whole hospital will be filled with enemies.
Honestly speaking, Professor Han Gi Tae’s stand is a little biased & disappointing.
The tumor marker is only double the normal evaluation. He quickly transferred the case to medical dept.
My opinion is different.
What?
This time, I see Professor Kim Do Hoon as a little out of line.
All this time, he already knows Professor Han Gi Tae.
I feel that his diagnosis in this case is to make a scene to redeem his reputation.
What makes you come out with that unexpected kind of assumption?
If what you say is untrue, will you able to bear the responsibilities of the words you're uttering?
No…it’s just my own assumption.
How can you make assumptions on Professor Kim’s diagnosis?
As his pupil you shouldn’t be doing that.
I’m sorry.
This is really pitiful. Choi Jin Sang’s one track love obsession for Professor Han Gi Tae has entered yet another obstacle.
Yes.
What’s the matter?
I have a few words that I need to discuss with you.
Please take a seat.
Do you really think it’s just Cholangitis?
The debate is over.
I’m the Doctor in charge of the patient. Have I done anything for him? My heart is really heavy.
I understand how Dr Jung’s heart is feeling but we need to abide by the decision of the majority.
Should the majority decide on the person’s life?
This is the hospital's hierarchy of organization. We need to work together as a body in making decisions.
However, Professor Kim’s diagnosis is Cholangitis. You must have your reason why you decided it is so.
Honestly, when I was a fellow, I came upon a similar case.
That’s why Professor Han said I am so stubborn when facing similar medical history cases.
Dr Jung, you need to forget about this case.
Professor! Right from the start, I affirm that your diagnosis was correct.
Pancreatic cancer is your prime expertise.
Your status in the world of surgical field has already been noted in the medical journals.
This time, I get to see it clearly with details.
This confirms my suspicion that it is a recurrence.
Which perspectives did you use to determine it is so?
What?
Did you do any reading up on this matter to say that it is a recurrence?
That….is.
Then go ahead & read this up.
Professor.
Please, can I have a few moments in private with you?
The patient’s right to know?
Yes.
Whether it is Cholangitis or pancreatic cancer relapse, I feel that the patient has the right to know the status of his condition.
We can’t always disclose everything to the patient.
But in this case…this is related to the patient’s life.
We need let the patient understand how serious his condition.
We mustn’t allow the patient to lose confidence and trust in us Doctors.
- Confidence and trust? - Yes.
The Doctors debate among themselves on the conditions of the patient but don’t inform them of their current status.
That will make the patient lose confidence and trust in Doctors & the hospital.
I understand where you’re coming from. But this won’t help the patient at all.
The patient might choose to undergo surgery knowing there’s some bleak of hope somewhere.
We’ve already debated & discussed the danger of the complex surgery.
It’s fine with me even if you say that this is defensive diagnosis.
But I don’t want to be like Professor Kim Do Hoon taking such high risk expedition.
Professor.
Don’t agitate the patient. Just keep your mouth shut on the matter.
- With the rate of your recovery, you’ll be discharged in no time. - Yes.
- Are you taking your food in well? - Yes.
- You need to do some light exercises like taking a stroll. - Yes.
Are you alright?
Careful! Please take care.
Doctor! Do you know who Professor Kim Do Hoon is?
What?
I heard…that person asserted that I may not be having a pancreatic cancer relapse but another symptom of an ailment.
It’s not that….that…
Doctor, you too have knowledge about this?
No…it’s not like that.
What’s going on here?
What? What is it?
The patient Lee Eun Sup. Did you tell him that it’s not cancer relapse?
No, I didn’t.
Then what’s happening here? He knows all about it.
What?
If it’s Cholangitis, what will that be? Can I live?
If it’s just Cholangitis, you just have to do another surgery.
How are they going to bear responsibility on this?
They should at least inform them first & then notify them.
Dr Choi…over there.
What are you doing?
After the Appe surgery, my abdomen feels a little tight. So I’m doing stretching exercise.
Have you seen Dr Jung?
I didn’t see her.
Give her a call.
Professor, actually….
My reason that I didn’t tell you of the other symptoms is….
That’s fine! I heard that you don’t want to do high risk surgical operation.
I don’t understand that you became popular because of this.
Who did this?
It’s not from me.
The patient already knew all about it.
So that’s why you told him about everything on your own accord?
Anyway, he already knew about it. I think that the patient has the right to know, Doctor.
Rights?
Since you’re an intern you should know better.
What are the basic rules?
It's to notify.
Then if you knew why did you act on your own accord?
Everybody please remember this. Should there be any mistakes on this matter, all of you will be responsible.
That Dr Jung Ha Yun. I really can’t understand her character.
She really likes to do things on her own accord.
She’s the kind of woman who wishes to stand for the rights the patient. That’s why she’s a lawyer.
Why did she come here & make trouble for us?
I have already predicted this earlier. When we met first I already knew it will be like that.
When was this?
During the day of the interview. Didn’t I go to the airport to pick up the germ free pig? She stopped the ambulance & treated it like a taxi.
Really?
After that, she said she was from the Surgical Department.
I really can’t comprehend this.
I told her that she’s crazy.
Piglet!…
Why are you being this way? Why didn’t you tell them about us being in the motel together?
Motel!!!!
That night…..that thing….you were…really useless at it.
You!!!
Why did you say such things?
This is a misunderstanding…misunderstanding.
You little brat…..really….go fast…really quick.
No…no it isn’t…that. What's wrong? Really! Ah! Sheesh!
Choi Jin Sang!!!!!
Are you alright?
About what?
I heard that the Surgical Department is pretty chaotic recently.
Everybody wants to see what’s happening.
You must stay focused and don’t be a “jin sang” (jinx).
Are you still standing for Professor Han Gi Tae
Nothing is coming out from it.
Stop dreaming…dreaming. Looking at you, you’ll never able to be with the likes of Professor Han Gi Tae.
Naturally, you should be going to Professor Kim Do Hoon.
Don’t scare me. Why should I be with Professor Kim Do Hoon?
Why? What’s wrong with Professor Kim Do Hoon? He’s excellent and treats his patient well. I really like him.
Then you carry on liking him. Although I’m slightly lazy, I will not let go of Professor Han.
Choi Jin Sang!!!
The whole hospital already heard the rumor.
What rumor?
I heard you had an incident with Jung Ha Yun. I heard that this brat went to a motel with her.
How can they spread such nonsense?
Is this…really true?
No it isn’t…I was drunk…I went there with….Yah! Am I crazy?….with that crazy woman….Yah! Nothing happened.
Eun Ji! Eun Ji! This is all a misunderstanding…this is really…
What misunderstanding?
It’s a misunderstanding….nothing happened to us…
It’s fine.
It’s not fine…she’s not my style…I hate her.
- Really brat! - This is really...
What’s wrong with them?
You really have some ability.
What’s with her?
I’m sadly disappointed with Dr Choi.
Those wretched brat, what did they actually say?
You….Are you Professor Kim Do Hoon?
Yes I am.
I’m a patient of Professor Han Gi Tae. Lee Eun Sup.
What? Ah! Yes.
Can I talk to you in private?
I heard from the Doctor in charge about everything.
According to the Professor, if I undergo the surgery, I can carry on living.
There’s a possibility.
However, we can’t exclude the high risk factors involved in doing the surgery.
I understand that. I’m willing to take that high risk factor.
I really believe in the Professor's determination.
The patient already found out. What are you going to do about it now?
That patient came looking for me just now.
Did he?
Wouldn’t you be giving him some false hope of living?
No one can predict the outcome. I’ll never let go of the slightest opportunity.
Professor?
What’s the matter?
The patient Lee Eun Sup requests for Professor Kim Do Hoon as the Surgeon to be in charge of his case.
Was it your wish that the patient would do this?
Is standing on the point of view of the patient the way to do it?
However, you need to bear all the responsibility on the outcome of this.
This matter is all in your hands till the end.
I’m referring to the patient in room 132. Why aren’t you doing the surgery?
Please don’t get anxious. Just take a seat.
Regardless of the size of the tumor, it’s in a position where surgery is not possible. Is there no other alternative?
Sit….I say sit down!
Why can’t you do it? Isn’t this not being responsible at all?
The members of the patient’s family disagree with the surgery.
Can’t you persuade them? If you can’t persuade them, I’ll go & do it.
What if we persuade them & this surgery goes wrong, who will be responsible? This surgery is high risk.
Do you think the patient’s family will permit to us to do it?
Do you really need to create this conflict? What are you going to do?
Do you really want to follow the patient’s request for surgery?
You must dissuade the patient from doing so.
We’re in the same hospital. We don’t need this kind of conflict.
Yes, do that. This is the only way. There’s no alternative.
As I look at it, the hardest to overcome is coming up with a decision.
Consider you decision well.
I heard…don’t you dare meddle in this affair.
Senior, are you afraid for the hospital?
I’m afraid for both. Whether it's the hospital or the patient, this surgery can’t push through.
This is Senior’s point of view. The patient is full of hope that the surgery will be successful.
This is false hope. He’s only thinking of now and disregarding what can happen after.
I understand Professor Kim Do Hoon’s personality. When he was still in the University, he participated in student protest.
He’s not being conceited with his views but rather it’s for the sake of the patient.
He knows that if the surgery goes wrong, it will affect his medical career.
Was it your wish that the patient would do this?
Is standing on the point of view of the patient the way to do it?
Howver, you need to bear all the responsibility on the outcome of this.
This matter is all in your hands till the end.
What is actually going on…the surgery?
Can’t say? Professor Kim Do Hoon hasn’t made his decision.
I can’t make any assumptions on the matter. Professor Kim Do Hoon is in a difficult position.
I also know that.
Please excuse me…
This is Jung Ha Yun.
It’s me. Prepare & arrange Lee Eun Sup’s operating theatre for surgery.
What?…Yes…I understand.
Professor Kim had decided already. He’ll do the surgery.
Thank you….thank you very much…really thank you.
Did everyone hear it?
Professor Kim Do Hoon decided to do the surgery.
Crazy!…
I have something to say.
What?
May I be excused from being Professor Kim Do Hoon’s operating assistant.
You’re his assistant, who else is going to do it?
You know that I graduated from another medical school. Being here has not been easy for me.
I don’t want to get myself into trouble. I hope you understand.
We need another person. Who'll do it? Baek Hyun Woo…you.
Yes….I’m sorry…I have something to do for Professor Han Gi Tae at the research lab.
Your excuse is excellent.
You wretched brat over there!
You enter the theatre.
It’s you, Hyung!
Choi Jin Sang…you!!!
I’m having diarrhea.
Shut up! Go & take loperamide.
Doctor.
The patient…
He’s already sent to the operating theatre.
Where’s Jin Sang?
I haven’t seen him.
That wretched brat! Does he want to run away from this?
What are you doing?
Yes. I’m in the toilet.
Quickly finish with it & come here immediately.
Looking at the situation here, there’s no way this will be finished…Oh!…it’s hard to come out….it feels very strange….oh! this is the 3rd one….oh!
You wretched brat….really.
Immediately get Baek Hyun Woo to come.
Yes.
What is it? Do you have something to say?
I wish to be at Professor Kim’s operation as an operating assistant.
Fine! Go & witness this with your own eyes. It will do you some good.
Thank you.
Doctor, I can’t contact Dr. Baek Hyun Woo.
In the end, he has to follow Professor Han Gi Tae’s instructions…that wretched brat!
My stomach's no longer upset. Once finished, I rushed here as quickly as I can.
You better concentrate & do well.
Yes.
Follow me!
Don’t worry! It will be successful.
Thank you.
Doctor Hong.
Mr. Lee Eun Sup, please breathe slowly.

In the CT scan we can’t see the nodules.
This is definitely a Carcinomatosis. The cancer has spread.
