[Episode 10]
Teacher!
Your... hand...
I talked to them, and they can't send anyone down right now.
- Doctor Kwak, you can examine him right? - Yes.
Thank you. I have other patients to tend to. Thanks!
Lift him up. One, two, three.
I... I can't breathe.
Please hang in there. I'll make you more comfortable.
- Let's get an EKG first. - Yes.
160 and 110. It could be a heart attack.
Let's do a blood test and ABG.
And let's administer nitroglycerin.
Yes, Doctor.
Teacher, does your chest hurt?
Can you describe the pain?
Has this happened before?
Your EKG looks good, and your myocardial enzyme level is normal.
Your sonogram looked normal too.
Geez, it felt like my chest was collapsing.
Even right now?
Well, I think it's a little better now.
- There's your diagnosis. - What do you mean?
When's the due date?
There's one due this Thursday, and another one due next Wednesday.
Geez, I missed a deadline, now that I think about it.
- What do you want to say? - Your diagnosis is stress-induced...
- Illness of the mind? - You should cut down on work.
Hey, I'm not good at refusing people.
Sir, do you do something else for a living?
You really don't know him?
It's not like you lived abroad all your life.
How can you not know Poet Seol Jae Chan?
Haven't you dated before?
"If it's beautiful as it sets, it must be the sun."
"If it's beautiful when you lose, it must be love."
That's right. Wow, Doctor Kwak.
Haven't you heard that from a man before?
Answer me.
Have you dated before or not?
You'll discharge him, right?
Pardon?
She hasn't.
She hasn't dated before, has she?
Hey, stop it...
You have to exercise and get some rest.
Please don't take all the assignments and take it easy.
That's how you can write many good poems for a long time.
Geez, I got it, you punk.
How is it that you nag me more than my late wife?
Doctor!
- I forgot. - Yes, thank you.
What is it?
I asked for two types of blood tests just in case.
It's strange. Why is the platelet count so high?
Do you have any other symptoms?
No, not really.
Wait, I think this is because of stress too...
But sometimes...
I have bloody stool.
- Bloody stool? - Yeah.
Is it hemorrhoids?
Hey, do you have to do this?
It's good to know the cause. You'll feel more at ease.
Hey, aren't you going to do it?
The anus is under the surgery department's jurisdiction.
Sir, please turn around.
Yes, sure.
Cancer?
We'll be more certain after an examination
but it's over 90 percent likely that it's rectal cancer.
I think we should call his guardian.
He doesn't have a guardian.
- What about his children? - He lived with his wife
but she passed away 10 years ago due to uterine cancer.
I guess the good part is that for the next three days
I don't have to work on the hospital ship.
At least I can be by his side.
I'll let you know after I book his examination.
We should... tell him after we get the results, right?
I'm sorry.
Hey, why do I have to be hospitalized?
What is it? Is something wrong?
Doctor Song doesn't think it's hemorrhoids. We need to run more tests.
Then what about class tomorrow?
Geez, seriously. Will the test take a long time?
You're booked for 7 a.m., so you'll be done by 9 a.m.
That's a relief. I only need to skip my morning classes.
Geez. By the way, let me borrow your phone.
I didn't remember to bring my phone when I came here.
Eun Mi? Why are you answering your mother's phone?
A game? This rascal. Do you know what time it is?
You should sleep.
Why did I call?
I must be out of my mind.
The thing is, I need to do something tomorrow morning.
I wanted to ask you to study independently with everyone.
No. If I catch the 10 a.m. ferry, I can make it for 1 p.m.
Doctor Woo?
I'm Kwak Sung's guardian.
Yes.
How was my father today?
He was actually very calm today.
He seemed to be more clear-headed.
I see. Thank you.
Yes, Section Chief Kim. Come in.
Why did you ask for me?
I wanted to see you.
I dropped by, and while I was herelready
I thought I'd meet my savior.
I'm not a savior. I just--
That's right. Were you just interviewed while Doctor Song did the work?
Why did you kick Doctor Song out?
About that. As I mentioned--
That's right.
Whistleblower. You kicked out a traitor.
It seems like romanticism is still alive for doctors. You can cut a doctor
like a samurai.
Traders like myself can't dream of it.
We need to embrace our enemies if need be, but if you can't deal with traitors
it's hard to stay alive.
I'm jealous. I'm very jealous.
Have you heard? Doosung is going to take over our hospital!
Are you so free you can go around spreading rumors?
- Why is an associate professor so free? - Professor.
- That's why you can't beat Song Eun Jae. - Song Eun Jae?
Why are you mentioning her all of a sudden?
- Hello, Director. - Hello.
What is it? Did his results come in?
We're still examining him now.
- And from the hospital ship-- - I'm Kwak Hyun.
Yes, I heard from Doctor Kang. Thank you for your efforts.
- You don't have the results yet? - They're right here.
They just came out.
It's rectal cancer after all.
This is very serious.
His liver and IVA are eaten up already.
- If it has progressed this much-- - He's stage four.
What are the treatment options?
As a surgeon, there's almost nothing we can do.
That's not true.
We can operate.
- You're going to operate? - That's nonsense.
The cancer cells reached his IVA already.
That's right. Doctor Kang is right. We need to be thoughtful.
If we act hastily, we could kill the patient.
Yes, if we use the common method.
Are you saying you have a special method?
This case isn't about the primary cancer
but whether or not we can remove the cancer from his liver and blood vessels.
However, it's way too difficult to carry out.
That's why I want to perform an X2 hepatectomy.
- An X2 hepatectomy? - It's unfamiliar to me.
Is it because I'm from internal medicine?
No, I've never heard of it either.
What's X2 hepatectomy? Explain it to me.
I'll block blood flow to the liver, remove the liver to cut out the area
and then reconnect it.
But... is that possible?
In other words, we are using liver transplant techniques
to remove the cancer.
What is the success rate? How many times was it successful?
- Zero times. - What do you mean?
It's a technique that has never been used in this country.
It if has never been implemented, is this the first time?
- Yes. - It's never been done?
- That's right. - But you'll do it anyway?
- It's the only treatment method. - But this is too dangerous--
If we don't operate, there's no solution to this case.
He could pass away in three months. It'll be hard to live past six months.
Let me know when you're ready. I'll brief the patient about it myself.
A hepatectomy?
Why is Doctor Song so confident?
It's because she found the case she needs.
What do you mean?
Let's say she succeeds.
It'll just be a matter of time until she gets called up to Seoul.
Doctor Kim? This is Song Eun Jae.
I finally found a patient for my thesis case.
I sent you a list of documents I need.
Please send them to me as soon as possible.
Wow, congratulations, Doctor Song!
X2 hepatectomy? I respect you! I love you!
What did you just say?
Song Eun Jae is doing what?
X2 hepatectomy? Is this true?
What if Song Eun Jae makes a comeback?
Did you talk to him yet?
No, I wanted to hear the details from Doctor Song first.
How about you seek a second opinion instead?
That... confident attitude of hers
makes me uneasy.
[Please review.]
Yes, Doctor. How are you?
Yes, I just sent you an email...
Yes, Doctor. Hello. I just sent you an email...
I just sent it to you.
Really?
No, I asked a few others...
I see. Thank you anyway.
Are you my father's friend?
Kwak Sung is my friend. Don't worry. I'll look over it now.
Yes, please do that.
Why are you coming now?
I couldn't contact you either.
Help me get a discharge order.
They said I can't leave without it.
Why are you standing there like that? It's already 11 a.m.
- I won't make it-- - Teacher.
Call the kids at school.
I think we have to extend your stay.
What is this? Is there a big problem?
What? Am I going to die? Did they say I'm dying?
Then, why do I need to be hospitalized?
I don't know much about medicine
but if it's rectal cancer, there's not much any great doctor can do--
That's not true. Doctor Song...
Doctor Song said she can do it.
She wants to operate.
But you're not very sure about it, are you?
Why do you think that?
When you're not sure of something...
you always touch your neck.
You still have that childhood habit.
I'll come back after I look into it further.
Hyun.
It must be hard for you. I'm not even your dad, but your dad's friend.
You shouldn't say that.
I'm putting my trust in you. I'm planning to trouble you with this.
But if your dad gets jealous, there's nothing I can do.
As you know...
I... don't have anyone.
I thought I could be more composed.
I planned to stay calm
even if I developed a fatal illness, as if I were meeting an old friend.
I even thought about that...
it's not easy.
I'm...
a little shaken up and scared.
It'll be okay. It'll be okay, Teacher.
I'll do a good job.
I can do a good job.
What do you mean pass on the case? To whom?
- Anyone. - Director Kim.
This surgery is too risky.
We're trying to do something that hasn't been verified.
The scale of the surgery is too large.
We need the agreement of hepatopancreaticobiliary, colorectal
urology, and cardiothoracic surgery departments for this surgery.
- You know that? - Yes.
However, no one is experienced in cancer surgery in this hospital.
- I'm aware of that. - Then you should have transferred him.
I would, if there was a doctor who could do it.
There is no doctor who can do this surgery.
You won't give up, is that it?
- Yes. - You might have to control everything.
I know that.
At the patient's age, if the surgery goes on for too long--
10 hours.
I'll do a simulation to see if I can do it in 10 hours.
What if you decide it's impossible?
At that point, I'll give up.
This is Song Eun Jae. I need a cadaver.
There's one available?
Thank you.
Hey, hey, hey! Watch out for your face!
I won't play anymore.
Excuse me, haven't we met before?
Doctor Song?
What is it? Is something the matter?
I got it. We'll be there soon.
- Let's go Nurse Yoo. - What is it?
You'll find out when we get there.
I'm sorry to interrupt your day off.
It's a simulation, so I couldn't disturb anyone.
What are you talking about? I haven't felt this adrenaline in a long time.
You're way too excited.
People will think you're performing the surgery.
Let's begin.
Let us observe a moment of silence.
Scalpel.
[Current Time: 19:33, Surgery Time: 00:00]
[Current Time: 20:28, Surgery Time: 00:54]
Let's begin the anastomosis of the sigmoid colon and rectum.
The thing is, it could be possible in our heads
but in reality, I don't know if it's possible.
If the patient were my family member, I wouldn't recommend it.
The only doctor who gave a positive answer, was Doctor Song.
It's too reckless for surgeons. Let's keep cool heads.
In this case, palliative treatment is the best you can do.
Help him feel comfortable in the last stage of his life.
What is it?
Is it not going well?
About us...
About us, Teacher...
Yeah?
Should we trust Doctor Song...
with the surgery?
Should I trust your scary devotion?
At this moment...
the only person who is trying hard for the patient...
seems to be you, Doctor Song.
Director.
She completed the simulation in six hours.
If that's the case, there's no reason to object to the surgery, right?
If it's not my body, I guess not.
- Wait a minute. - I thought that was foolish.
What... are you doing here?
Shouldn't we start with a greeting after such a long time?
I asked you what you're doing here.
Is this the first time you've seen a doctor checking up on a patient?
Your poems leave a deep impression, every time I read them.
Geez, I'm embarrassed.
The medical team will do everything we can to treat you.
Yes, thank you.
Let's talk outside.
Song Eun Jae, are you out of your mind?
What are you going to do with this patient? Surgery?
I will treat my patient myself.
It's not a treatment, it's an experiment.
You fell ill trying to fill one more box on your thesis paper, am I wrong?
It is bad to fill a box on my thesis paper?
If you're a doctor, patients come before goals and achievements.
When will you become a real doctor?
If it were three months ago, I would have pretended to be fooled. Too bad.
X2 is a surgical method that hasn't been verified.
- There's always a first. - You could fail.
Am I supposed to be scared?
Of course.
You should be scared.
- It's a first, but this case-- - "Case! Case! Case!"
When will you stop treating patients as if they're troublesome problems?
He's not a case, he's a person.
If you fail, Seol Jae Chan, that person will die.
I told you already.
We make progress in science through failures.
I reject such cold-hearted progress.
Doctor Song.
I can't accept you... as Seol Jae Chan's primary doctor.

[Hospital Ship]
I want to protect his dignity. I want it to end quietly.
Is that more important than his life?
He doesn't have Alzheimer's like my father
but illnesses rob you of everything.
Do you know how to persuade someone? You have to move their heart.
I'm here. Teacher! Teacher!
Is the deal still on?
Song Eun Jae, you're becoming more entertaining.
Doctor Song! We're in trouble!
