[Episode 33]
[Geoje Jaeil Hospital "Medical Institution Certification"]
You've come a long way, Chairman Jang. I'm Director Kim Soo Geon.
It's nice to meet you.
You must be busy. Why did you come out to see an old man like me?
It's no trouble at all. Why don't we go inside?
There's someone I want to meet before we go inside.
Who do you want to meet?
Long time no see, Doctor Song Eun Jae.
- Hello. - A skilled doctor like you
must be suffering in a place like this.
No, not at all.
This place has more than enough to offer.
You're humble as always.
You're too kind.
Anyway, Doosung is thinking of getting its hands on this hospital.
Let's see how much this hospital improves.
I'll see you again, Doctor Song Eun Jae.
[Memorandum of Understanding]
[Medical Support Project, MOU Signing]
They're establishing a non-profit health care foundation?
Doosung is going to work with Geoje Hospital?
That's right. Seoul Daehan Hospital is affiliated as well.
Why did Director Kim make this decision all of the sudden?
It wasn't all of the sudden. He has been planning this partnership for a while.
Why?
What do you think?
Is it what I think it is?
What else could it be?
Is the hospital's deficit that severe?
The main cause is this ER.
I'm a specialist in ER medicine
but I've even suggested getting rid of this ER before the hospital closes down.
The hospital's deficit grows, the longer it stays open.
But if you close it down...
Then our patients will die on the streets.
If they establish the foundation, can they avoid a deficit?
Probably, yes.
- What's the condition? - The condition?
- What is Doosung planning to do? - The non-profit foundation.
Seoul Daehan Hospital is running a non-profit foundation too.
But you know how hard that hospital
tries to increase their profits.
If a corporation like Doosung is acquiring non-profits
why would Chairman Jang come here himself?
He could be doing this as a service to the community.
Doctor Kang, you're more naive than I thought.
Do you think this is political?
Did you...
book this place for me to stay?
I apologize. I will transfer you to a nicer place.
It's too nice!
- Pardon? - Driver Oh.
Yes?
Does it look like I have nothing better to do than to play around in a spa?
Find another accommodation!
I'll get right on it.
Couldn't you be a little quicker?
I apologize.
- How did it go? - Director Jang had his interview
and was featured in an article.
Give it to me.
[Telemedicine, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, IT and Medicine Combined.]
Why is he smiling?
I wonder what he's so happy about.
Pay attention from now on!
We put everything on the line for this fight.
The bill for telemedicine
must be pushed forward before the next election.
Before this bill is passed...
if they babble about community service
and the next president claims that the country will take care of health care
the health care market will be gone.
- Park Sang Moo. - Yes, Chairman Jang.
How many people have diabetes in Korea?
- Seven million, Chairman Jang. - That's right.
At least seven million people.
If we pass the bill for telemedicine
and sell a blood glucose monitoring device to each of them
we'll make three trillion.
The health care market will pop out a golden egg.
This is Doosung's most guaranteed strategy to grow our business.
Do you understand me?
- Yes, I understand! - Yes, I understand!
"Telemedicine."
There's no way.
I'm sure that's what Doosung wants...
but Director Kim won't agree to this.
Excuse me, Chairman Jang.
Yeah? What is it?
What will you do with the hospital ship?
I think we should remove all obstacles before we begin telemedicine.
The hospital ship is doing just fine treating their patients.
We can't turn them into scraps in one day.
Then, are you going to leave them alone?
Are you stupid?
I threw lots of bait everywhere
so I'm sure one of them will bite.
Code blue. Code blue.
NICU, code blue.
What happened? Is this baby...
Yes, it's the premature baby that was transferred from the hospital ship.
- Labored respiration? - Yes, a high fever too.
- What's the cause? - It's hard to pinpoint the cause.
I got it. Yes, let's do that.
Chairman Jang.
It sounds like someone took my bait.
If it goes well, it could become our method.
What's wrong? Is your leg hurt?
Did something go wrong when I twisted it last time?
- It still tingles. - Sit down so I can look at it.
- I'm okay. - Sit down.
Here?
- There's no problem with your bones. - Of course not.
Is it a muscle ache?
You're on your feet all day on the hospital ship and in the ER.
Don't go running for the time being.
I'll make you a hot compress too.
I don't need a hot compress.
Listen to me. You have to treat muscle pains right at the beginning.
- Why are you looking at me like that? - You're a nagger.
You're almost as bad as my mom.
- What? - Let's go.
33 times.
You sighed 33 times on our way home.
34 times.
Is something wrong?
It's about Hwang In Kyung's baby.
What's wrong with the baby?
Labored respiration?
What's the cause?
I'm sure we did the suction properly.
Do you think a problem occurred then?
He had no fever and his vitals were stable before the transfer.
That's true.
The fact that it's a premature baby smaller than two kilograms
could be the biggest problem.
I wanted to cheer him on by holding his hand
so I put my hand in the incubator.
But that little punk held onto my finger so tightly...
That punk is trying his best.
That's why I felt more pathetic.
That small baby is doing his best to survive...
but there's not much I can do as a doctor.
I feel so pathetic about that...
that I can't stand it.
Hwang In Kyung?
That's me.
Did you just see your baby?
Yes.
How is he doing?
Who...
A lawyer? Are you a lawyer?
Yes.
But why do you want to talk to me?
You had a premature baby on the hospital ship.
And he was delivered not by an obstetrician, but a surgeon.
Yes, that's right.
I believe the baby is seriously ill because of the surgery.
What do you think?
Wait, that man...
How do you do?
Geez, what brings you... all the way here?
I came for an audit.
An audit?
That's right. An audit.
It's not like we're new. Why are you auditing us all of a sudden?
You should have given us time to prepare.
Prepare? Prepare for what?
- Is there something to hide? - There isn't.
Then why are you worried? Just do what you always do.
Get ready.
Hey.
What's this weird vibe?
I'm not sure.
Big Sister, what are you doing here?
Gosh, stop calling me that.
You're late today.
Yes, I had to make a stop.
- Hello? - Song Eun Jae?
Yes, that's right.
I'm an officer from Geoje Police Station.
Police station?
You've been charged with negligent homicide.
You must come to the station for the investigation.
[Geoje Police Station]
- Doctor! - Doctor!
Is it true a C-section was carried out?
How was Hwang In Kyung's condition at the time?
I'm aware that you're a surgeon. Have you done a C-section before?
Tell us. Have you, or have you not?
- I have not. - Was it your first time?
Are you aware that Hwang In Kyung's baby is seriously ill?
Of course.
The biggest cause could be the fact that an inexperienced doctor operated.
Am I wrong?
"The incapable hand of the hospital ship?"
How dare these bastards blame it on us?
Should I comment on the post and tell them to get it right?
Nurse Pyo, what's going on?
That's weird. We didn't know Doctor Song went to be investigated
so how did the reporters know that?
[Surgeon Song Eun Jae, The Incapable Hand of the Hospital Ship]
What's this?
Jae Geol!
Kwak, what's going on here?
Can I answer a call for a moment?
Yes, just for a moment.
It's me.
Where are you? Are you at the police station?
- Yes. - Why did you go alone?
Why didn't you tell me?
- I didn't have to. - Doctor Song.
I have to go now.
I'll head over now.
You don't have to. You coming here won't change anything.
Why not?
Take care of your patients. That's more important.
Does it look like I'm acting like this because I'm worried about my woman?
Doctor Kwak.
Does it look like I'm throwing a fit so I can run over and put my patients aside?
- No, I meant-- - Listen carefully.
Doctor Song Eun Jae, I'm not talking as your boyfriend right now.
I'm talking as a doctor who was with you in the operating room.
You shouldn't be investigated for this.
If this investigation really started
because Hwang In Kyung's baby is seriously ill
I should be investigated, not you.
The actions performed on the baby...
from the time the baby was born
until it was transferred to the ICU
were all performed by me.
Do you understand me now?
- Yes. - If the officer asks questions
answer him with what I told you and end it.
I got it. I'll do that.
That's good.
I'll pick you up when I'm done with work.
She operated two times in one month?
The dangerous doctor lacks efficiency as well.
- Efficiency? - A doctor who makes over 40 million
got all this equipment, but only operated twice
in one month. And on top of that, they were free.
How does that make sense?
Those surgeries saved two lives.
Wait, was it three lives? Are those lives only worth 40 million?
But one of them was a gangster!
Aren't gangsters human too?
We don't care what kind of person he is.
We only care if he's a patient or not.
Wow...
Is it because you're always sailing the seas by boat?
How romantic.
- Chief. - We'll see if there's anyone else
who thinks the way you do in the island region.
In the island region?
The governor formally brought up an issue about the reckless operation
of the hospital ship.
Who's behind all of this?
Why are you trying to bring us down all of a sudden?
We're not bringing anyone down. We just want economical and efficient operation
by stopping our taxes from leaking out everywhere!
And, it looks like these audit results will help a great deal.
What do you think?
"The ultimate inefficiency."
"The hospital ship."
I asked them to add Song Eun Jae throughout the article.
- You're not totally stupid after all. - Thank you.
Speed up! The governor is waiting.
Yes, Chairman Jang.
The islands region was selected for the testing of telemedicine.
Telemedicine is for people in rural areas where medical care is unavailable.
I believe this is a necessary system for citizens who live in remote areas.
The supporting business of telemedicine is the last business
that we need to establish, before I step out of business.
That's why all employees of Doosung
promise to do our very best
for a quick implementation of telemedicine.
- Grandfather. - You're here?
- What are you doing? - Tel... something?
- Telemedicine? - Yeah, that.
They said they're doing that, and gave me this.
Don't you think my grandson will be happy?
I'll take your blood pressure and blood sugar now.
If they start that system, can I stop going to the health center?
No, you have to go every day to check your blood sugar
and control your food intake too.
If you don't manage it well, you could go into hypoglycemic shock.
Then you'll be in big trouble.
They told me I didn't have to go if I used this system.
Grandmother...
You can put your hand in, and pull it up.
- Yes, like that? - You can press this button...
What's this?
- Which one? - It's this one right here.
- This one? - No, right beside this.
- This one? - No, the blue one.
- I don't think she can do it. - Press it.
Get out of the way.
- Geez. - What did she say?
Goodness.
- Are you done? - How's Grandmother Seo?
- I got kicked out before I could start. - You got kicked out?
She's shooting promotional footage for telemedicine.
Promotional footage?
After they gave them laptops
the elders are very excited. They might donate their organs too.
On my way here I heard the chief of care say
that the number of islands in this experimental business
is 26.
26?
But strangely, all those islands
are the ones we visit on the hospital ship.
Hey, do you think telemedicine is even possible?
They're creating a video consultation and treatment system.
It's not possible.
Stethoscope, ocular inspection, and physical inspection.
There's a chance for misdiagnosis, even after doing all of that.
So how can they diagnose and treat patients via video?
Right?
It could be possible if a human-like AI was diagnosing them.
But diagnosing and treating patients over video chat
doesn't make any sense.
I'm sure they'll make arrangements with the medical law, even if it's uncertain.
Did you talk to Doctor Song?
They must be investigating her now. Even if she's strong
I bet she's still a little scared at the police station.
I'm going to see her as soon as I'm done.
Yeah, hurry over and get her out.
I'm leaving.
The guardian brought the mother to us.
We examined her and found that it was an umbilical cord prolapse.
If we left it alone, the baby would have been deprived of oxygen
so the baby was at risk of dying.
Which is why we had no other choice but to operate.
- Did you tell the guardian? - Of course.
The guardian said you didn't.
There's no way.
It doesn't seem like an operation consent form was filled out either.
Did you get her signature?
Did you or not?
I don't think I did.
However, I explained it to her, and received her consent.
Why should I believe you?
Nurse Jo Mi Yang was beside me.
I can't believe her. You could have agreed to lie after the surgery.
- Detective. - That's why
you should have gotten her to sign a consent form.
Isn't that the most basic protocol for surgeons?
What? Were you out of your mind because it was your first C-section?
Then what about when you performed the suction?
You were out of your mind then too, right?
What are you trying to ask me?
Didn't you leave substances in the baby's lungs because you were out of your mind?
- Isn't that why the baby is sick? - That's not true.
- Then what's the reason? - It's unfortunate that the baby is sick
but we can't conclude that it was because of the suction.
But, it could be one of the causes, right?
I asked a few professionals before I started this case.
They said if any meconium or amniotic fluid is left in the lungs
it could cause respiratory failure in the future.
Are you 100 percent sure that there was no problem in the suction procedure?
No, you can never be 100 percent sure.
Then, that means something could have gone wrong during the suction.
But we can't conclude that just yet.
There are many instances when the cause of dyspnea in babies is uncertain
so doctors often watch over them.
And above all else, Hwang In Kyung's baby
is a 1.9 kilogram premature baby, which is the biggest cause--
That's enough. Please explain the suction process.
Pardon?
- Explain what-- - After cutting the umbilical cord
what happened during the suction process?
Explain it to me.
- That... - What?
Why can't you explain?
You shouldn't be investigated for this.
The actions performed on the baby...
from the time it was born until it was transferred to the ICU...
were all performed by me.
Song Eun Jae.
Doctor Song Eun Jae! Why can't you answer me?
Were you out of your mind then too?
If not, was it someone else...
who did it?
