[Episode 36]
What's going on?
Is Doctor Song... going somewhere?
She's been kicked out.
- Is it because of us? - Mom!
Don't worry about it.
Manager Choo!
What's the matter? Who is it?
It's my kids' mother. I don't know what's going on.
- Guardian, please come in! - Of course!
- Please look after this for me. - Doctor!
- Young Min's mother. - Guardian, let me look at the patient.
- How's the patient? - Hey.
She has severe jaundice.
Does she have an illness like fatty liver or cirrhosis of the liver?
No, she didn't have any illnesses.
Ma'am? Ma'am? What's your name?
Ma'am, where are we?
- Seoul. - Are we in Seoul?
Yes.
Then, what year is it?
1988.
Is it 1988 right now?
Of course.
Why is she saying crazy things? Honey!
Ma'am, can you stretch your arms in front of you?
With both hands aligned. Please hold them up.
Hold them like that.
- It's flapping tremor. - It is.
It's a symptom of hepatic encephalopathy.
If she didn't have an illness, it's probably acute liver failure.
First, let's treat her upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Then--
Doctor Song Eun Jae.
What are you doing here?
Get out, and let Doctor Myung take over.
- Director Kim. - Doctor Kang.
Yes... yes, Director Kim.
Don't you know that Doctor Song doesn't work here anymore?
I... I know.
Then, why are you letting her treat the patient?
How can you be so careless as a section head?
I'm sorry, Director Kim.
Doctor Song.
Call gastrointestinal internal medicine to resolve the bleeding.
And then we'll run blood and liver function tests.
Yes, Doctor.
[2018, Geoje Jaeil Hospital, New Additional Building]
What... will you do now?
Don't worry about me right now.
Your wife is very sick.
What do you think will happen to her?
We'll only be sure after the results come out, but I think...
Tell me. What do you think will happen?
Let's wait for the results to come out before we talk about it.
- I need to answer this call. - Sure.
Doctor Song, it's me. How did it go?
We're waiting for the test results...
but I think... it's acute liver failure.
Oh no.
Aren't you coming?
Captain Bang and I have to resolve things here.
Yes, hang in there.
What happened?
Is she seriously ill?
Will it be okay even if we don't go there?
Let's grab the governor by his collar.
That would be a bigger help than going to the hospital.
You sure have a lot of it.
What? Guts?
Geez, two people aren't enough.
Should we call the military service doctors
and the nurses and tell them to gather here?
- They're busy. - They are?
Doing what?
Doctor!
- What brings you here? - What do you mean?
I'm disappointed. How can you treat patients without your nurses?
- Was it you? - Yeah.
I thought they'd want to come.
- That's good, let's go. - Let's go.
What... what is it called?
It's acute liver failure.
Acute liver failure?
Then, what will happen to her?
She's stabilized for now
but we don't know when it'll worsen. We can't make any guarantees right now.
You can't make any guarantees?
What... what does that mean?
Are you saying she's going to die?
Say something, Doctor Song.
She doesn't have much time.
What... what did you say?
If we don't act quickly...
it won't be easy for her to last a few days.
She was just fine. There was nothing wrong with her.
When I saw her for Korean Thanksgiving, she was just fine.
In acute liver failure cases
the cause is unknown over 30 percent of the time.
I'm very sorry, Manager Choo.
Then, what do we have to do now?
What can we do to save her?
A transplant.
- A transplant? - Yes.
As of right now, a liver transplant is our best hope.
You should have told me earlier.
Doctor Song, if she gets a transplant, she can live, right?
Yes.
Then I can give her mine!
Do you have the same blood type?
No, I'm B, and she's A.
- Then that won't work. - Why not?
You said we can transplant organs between different blood types these days.
- You clearly said that-- - That's only
when the patient's condition is stable.
If the patient's in critical condition, we must find the same blood type.
Call the organ transplant center.
Yeah, I will.
If they find a doctor, she'll be able to get it first, so...
Doctor Myung.
Suction!
Give her 10 milliliters of valium.
It's a seizure caused by hepatic encephalopathy.
Doctor Song Eun Jae.
Let's talk for a moment.
How about... we transfer that patient to another hospital?
The patient is critical. How can we transfer her?
We need to transfer her because she's critical.
- Why? - We don't have a surgeon who can do it.
I don't know about you, but I can't do it.
I can't do a liver transplant with unfamiliar staff.
- And above all else... - And what?
I've never done it before.
I've only assisted Professor Kim.
I've never completed a liver transplant on my own before.
Where did he go?
- Did you just get back? - Yes.
Without any outcome.
How's Manager Choo doing?
- The thing is... - What?
Is there a problem?
He said he'll donate his liver to his wife
but I told him he can't because he has a different blood type.
In the meantime, her condition got worse.
Where is Manager Choo right now?
- I don't know. - You don't?
I got it. I'll look for him.
Please take care of him.
[Health Center Branch]
- You're here? - Geez, Doctor!
- Did you have a hard time? - Don't mention it.
I don't know what all this ruckus is about.
Get some rest. We'll take care of the patients.
I can't. I should tell the other patients to come back.
No, we'll go. If the elders fall down in the dark, that's more dangerous.
Doctor Kim, you have such a kind heart.
Take care of the patients here. We'll go to the houses and resolve what we can
and bring the rest of the patients here.
Sure.
Let's go.
- You're here? - Grandfather, how are you?
Same old.
- Can we use telemedicine on this? - You can
but I'm not sure if they'll answer.
I'll try it anyway.
Please give it to me.
[Please wait a moment...]
You used it well last time. Did you forget already?
I wasn't good. I just pressed what they told me to press.
If I give you that laptop, can you come here every day instead?
I can give you acupuncture every day.
But what about your blood pressure medicine?
You need to get that from a doctor of internal medicine.
Gosh, why is it so complicated?
Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and connect it!
No one's answering.
Yeah, what is it?
We're calling for a consultation but no one's answering.
Can you find the number for the doctor of internal medicine at Jaeil Hospital?
Yeah, I'll look into it.
- They're not answering, right? - Yeah.
I need to make a call.
[Father]
Telemedicine? Don't you know how dangerous that is?
- We need to save the ER. - Then the hospital ship might go down.
If the ER closes down, the patients will die on the streets.
If...
you had to choose between the ER and the hospital ship, which would you choose?
- This isn't an issue of choice. - It is.
There's no situation that satisfies everyone in this world.
[Doctor Kang Dong Joon]
Yeah, Jae Geol.
The internal medicine chief's number?
- Why do you need that? - The elders can't use computers
so they didn't get their treatment.
We can to the island ourselves
but it's after treatment hours, so no one will answer.
You can do that tomorrow afternoon.
We have to work too!
I don't know what you take us public workers for...
You know what happens if we're absent without notice.
But he finished work and is resting at home. I can't ask him to come back here.
Does he have to go to the hospital?
He needs to install the computer program.
Yeah, fine. I'll talk to him.
Okay, thank you.
Hey... Jae Geol.
Do you even know what's been going on here all day long?
What's been going on?
Pardon?
Really?
Breathe in one more time.
- Turn around. - I'll turn you around now.
It doesn't sound good.
- Hey, Jae Geol. - Try it again. He'll pick up now.
Really?
That's a relief. Yeah, thanks.
- Hello. - Yes?
What's the matter?
The elders are unable to use telemedicine so I'm helping.
- Is that okay? - Who are you?
I'm Doctor Kwak Hyun of the hospital ship.
A doctor? Not a helper?
- Just think of me as a helper. - Sure.
Then let's take a look.
What's the problem?
Grandmother, look at this.
My head hurts, I'm sweating
and it feels like my body was hit all over.
- What's her temperature? - 37.5 degrees, Doctor.
Her blood pressure and pulse are normal, and her breathing is fine.
But she has a severe cough and phlegm.
And above all else, I heard a crackle in her lungs.
Then it could be pneumonia.
We need to do a blood test and X-ray.
- You can't do that there, right? - We have the equipment on the ship
but we're unable to use it at the moment.
Geez.
Then we need to transfer the patient to our hospital.
But Doctor, the boats aren't running right now.
Do we need to call the marines to transfer her?
Geez, I'm going crazy here.
I'll look into it further and call you back.
It'll be okay.
Geez, Doctor Kim. How did it go? Did you see the patients?
I just saw one patient.
- There's a long lineup. - Pardon?
Why did they get rid of the hospital ship?
Should we call the marines to get one X-ray?
- Or should we send a helicopter? - Pardon?
Do we have to continue telemedicine?
The hospital ship's doctor is there, and the general hospital doctor is here.
The two of us are talking to one another with the patient. What are we doing?
If they could treat them there, it'd be so simple.
This is completely inefficient. They're driving me crazy with this system.
Geez, seriously.
Why is he getting mad at me? Did I get rid of the hospital ship?
Wow, I'm going crazy.
Get home safely.
Hey, are you finished?
Yeah, pretty much. How is her fever?
It got worse.
We got a fishing boat, so let's get going.
Will she be okay? She could get worse in the cold.
We can ask them to keep the cabin warm. Let's back to Geoje immediately.
But what's with your expression? Is something wrong?
I think Manager Choo is in big trouble.
[Yang Chun Ho]
Aren't you going to answer it? It's your followers.
Why are you out here instead of going inside?
Didn't you come here to see your kids?
I'm too ashamed.
Did you know?
When my wife went to give birth...
I was never there.
Both times, she went to the gynecologist by herself...
checked herself in...
and gave birth.
Were you on the hospital ship?
I've never been to their entrance ceremonies or graduations.
And they're holding a school meeting about violence now
but I had no idea about that either.
An inattentive father can't show up all of the sudden...
and tell them their mother is dying...
and to pack their bags.
They should at least say goodbye...
It's not goodbye.
Dong Min's mom isn't dying.
I'll save her.
So, go inside and get your kids out here.
It's not goodbye.
Their mother is having surgery
so tell them to cheer her on.
Nurse Pyo.
I heard I have the same blood type as Dong Min's mom.
I have a big liver after all.
It's so big, that I'll have a lot left after giving some to Dong Min's mom.
I'll take care of Dong Min's mom...
so you can work even harder than you are now
to protect the hospital ship.
You've been on the hospital ship for 30 years.
Don't say that it was in vain and that it was useless.
Don't regret it either.
If you do, I'll scold you harshly.
It wasn't in vain.
You endured it for so long
which is how you saved so many lives.
Yes?
What are you doing? Why are you wearing that?
Is it wrong for a surgeon to wear... her operating scrubs?
- What? - Please let me operate.
I want...
to save Kim Seo Hee's life.
That's nonsense!
There's no operating room for a dangerous surgeon to use at Jaeil Hospital.
Isn't that right, Director Kim?
If we don't operate, the patient could die tonight.
Transfer the patient to another hospital.
I want to save the patient, Director Kim.
Think about the support Doosung promised you, Director Kim.
