[Episode 37]
- I'm going to the ER. - Okay, we'll see you in the lobby.
Let's go.
- Nurse Yoo, you can go too. - But this patient...
The doctor of internal medicine can take care of her.
You can go. Nurse Pyo made a big decision. You must be worried.
Please take care of her, Doctor.
Grandmother, shall we go inside?
Hang in there.
- Doctor Kwak? - Hello.
It's nice to meet you. I'm the section chief of internal medicine, Kim Tae Ho.
Please look favorably on me, Doctor.
Is she our patient? Geez, it must have been hard.
First, take a blood sample, and then proceed with the X-ray.
Why isn't Manager Choo here?
Because he's in the ER?
Why?
What do you mean? The guardian should stay with the patient.
Where else should he be?
That's not what I mean. I mean...
why is she still in the ER? They should transfer her to critical care.
Because they might transfer her to another hospital.
A transfer? Why would she move hospitals?
There's no doctor here who can do the surgery.
Doctor Song is here.
Haven't you heard?
Doctor Song was fired from this hospital today.
Then, where's Doctor Song now?
She left to fight her last round.
Her last round?
Transfer the patient to another hospital.
I want to save the patient, Director Kim.
Think about the support Doosung promised you, Director Kim.
Director Kim.
Have a seat.
Send Doctor Song out, and chat with me.
How can he just leave like that?
What else could he do? Should he let her operate and close down the hospital?
Then what about the patient? If we don't operate, she'll die.
- Is it really impossible for you? - What do you mean?
The surgery. Is it impossible for you to do?
I'm sorry.
Geez, this is so frustrating, seriously.
- Where are you going? - To find the director.
- Are you going to convince him? - I don't know!
Geez, seriously. Isn't there anything we can do?
Please allow me to do the surgery.
If you don't pressure Director Kim
he will not allow me to operate in this hospital.
Do you... want to operate that badly?
Of course.
Then you should do it.
Are you giving me permission?
However... I have one condition.
I'll gather the reporters...
you say a few words about the hospital ship.
Are you asking me to criticize it?
I'm not that cold-hearted.
It's only been a few months, but it's still your work place.
It's not right to criticize it, is it?
You only have to point out one problem.
What problem?
Free treatments.
The fact that the hospital ship provides free treatments is a huge problem.
"Free treatments must not be permitted."
Please emphasize this one point.
I don't think your opinion regarding this problem... is that different.
Why do you think that?
11 years.
You spent 11 years to study for this specialization.
Is that all?
Ever since you became a specialist, you spent your life in the operating room
without eating or sleeping properly.
But you're willing to provide your services for free?
That's completely unfair.
Chairman Jang.
We live in a capitalist society.
There are countless opportunities to make money.
So we should work hard to make money, and buy what we need with our money.
And we can't exclude medical care, can we?
And very skilled doctors like you
should sell their services for a very high price.
- Don't you agree? - No.
I think differently.
You think differently? Are you saying it's okay to provide it for free?
Of course.
- You're generous. - Strictly speaking
I shouldn't be the one to receive praise.
That's true. You're a salaried doctor hired by the province.
So what are you trying to say?
Are you saying we should give you all the tax money we have?
- That's not what I mean. - Why should the government
take responsibility for the poor folks who lived lazy lives?
They have no sense of honor!
There are people who barely scrape by even though they work hard.
How can anyone be poor if they work hard?
That's just an excuse.
I don't agree with you.
And even if you were right
whether we're talking about lazy people or poor people, whoever it is
if they're sick, I think we should treat them
under any circumstances.
For free?
If possible, yes.
I see you have a foolish side to you.
You seem to be an extreme idealist.
That foolish idealist... may have
been the one to save your son.
I saved the patient, Jang Sung Ho, who needed help after a car accident.
I didn't help Jang Sung Ho, the heir of Doosung Group
who would have paid a very high price if I had saved him.
At the scene of the accident, we were unable to find anything
that would have told us his identity.
If I had turned away from the situation for that reason
what would have happened?
If I operate on an unidentified patient
and that patient doesn't wake up, I won't be paid for the surgery.
This is a common occurrence in the ER.
At times, I'm told not to operate on patients who can't afford the surgery.
If...
I had made that kind of calculation at the scene of the accident...
your son... might not be alive right now.
Are you trying to use your power as my son's savior?
As soon as we buy health with money...
we're putting a price on human life.
Listen, Doctor Song.
Are you naive, or are you pretending to be naive?
Are all human lives worth the same price?
Do you really think we're all the same?
- No. - Then what is it?
There are too many lives who are treated like they're cheap
so that's why we need to provide medical services for free.
Did you say the patient's name is Kim Sung Hee?
- That's right. - Don't you want to save the patient?
Of course.
Then you should be willing to negotiate.
No doctor will negotiate for a human life.
Everyone has one life...
and regarding their price...
not even the heavens can recklessly decide what we're worth.
I ask... that you make a wise decision.
I'm sad to tell you this, but our chat will end here, Doctor Song.
You look tired, Chairman Jang.
"Not even the heavens can recklessly decide what we're worth."
That child is determined and tenacious.
She wouldn't back down for one second. Geez.
I'll ask your doctor to come here.
That's okay. Tell him to come to my villa. I need to rest tonight.
I understand. I'll get on that right away.
How did it go?
What do you mean? Did he refuse to give you an operating room?
Who? Who's stopping you?
Joon Young.
- Jae Geol's father? - No.
Then, is it Doosung?
Is Jae Geol's father under Doosung's control?
- Doctor Cha Joon Young. - You don't have to do that.
Tell us the truth, without worrying what we'll think.
That's the only way to solve this problem.
The patient is in critical condition!
- Sir, can you hear me? - Send him to Ward A!
Sir, do you know where you are?
- The defibrillator. - Okay.
Charge to 150. Clear!
One, two!
One two!
One, two, three, four.
His identity is unknown. His identity is unknown.
The identity of the patient is unknown.
The patient has passed away.
If we continue to provide unpaid services
we won't be able to handle it.
The ER will close down.
Then what can we do? We can't refuse patients that come here.
What... will happen to her now?
Doctor Song.
Are your kids... on their way?
Doctor Song.
I think... you should tell them to come here.
Are we giving up...
Are we giving up already?
Are we giving up... without doing anything?
We're not giving up.
Doctor Song.
- You don't know what giving up is. - Director Kim.
I opened the operating room. Transfer her upstairs.
I called two anesthesiologists. Doctor Myung will work on the donor
and Doctor Song will do the transplant, right?
Thank you. Thank you, Director Kim.
No, I'm the one who's sorry.
Go up to the operating room.
Let's talk after we save the patient.
Yes.
We will transfer the patient, so please prepare for surgery upstairs.
I got it.
I know, even if you don't say anything.
I know you'd do your best for any patient.
I know that better than anyone.
So, I'll trust you, and wait.
Good luck with the operation.
You know, right? Don't worry about anything else.
Are you sick?
Why are you so hot? You have a fever...
Mother! Mother!
- Gosh, In Kyung! - Ma'am!
- Ma'am, wake up! - What's going on here?
Doctor Kwak, who's this?
She's the mother who gave birth on the hospital ship.
I see. This is her?
- Her breathing and pulse are fine, but-- - But?
She has a fever.
Ma'am, I'll take your temperature.
Geez, 38.5 degrees? It's quite high. How's her blood pressure?
- 85/60. - Her blood pressure is low too.
Give her some fluids to avoid dehydration
- and give her an alcohol massage. - Yes.
Geez.
What an eventful day.
Isn't it always eventful in the ER at Geoje Jaeil Hospital?
That's true.
I hope Doctor Song does a good job.
I don't even know what the right thing is.
Even after a successful surgery, the patient can turn on you.
Geez.
You can do it.
You can do a good job, right?
Who knows?
- Are you scared? - Always.
But, it has to be done.
It's the fate of all surgeons.
Good luck. I'll help you as soon as I'm done.
Please take care of Nurse Pyo.
What did you say?
What is Song Eun Jae doing?
Who said she can operate?
Who gave her permission?
- It was obviously-- - It was obviously who?
You just have to answer my question!
How dare you treat me like I'm dumb?
I apologize. I will get you a car, right away.
In the meantime, finish your treatment...
You arrogant punk. How dare you tell me what to do?
Are you looking down on me? Do you want to be the chairman?
- Chairman Jang. - What's wrong with your expression?
Director Kim Soo Geon is here, Chairman Jang.
I heard... you caused quite an entertaining situation.
It's not an entertaining situation, but an exciting one.
There's nothing more exciting for doctors
than saving patients' lives, Chairman Jang.
What's this?
It's the original copy of the memorandum of understanding
that we kept at Geoje Jaeil Hospital.
What's the meaning of this?
The memorandum of understanding that Doosung Group signed with our hospital.
I want to discard it.
Aren't you scared of what might happen?
Will you tear it up, or shall I do it?
Find a way to step on them.
Whether it's Geoje Jaeil Hospital or Song Eun Jae
step on them until they're dead!
I already booked a press conference for tomorrow morning.
For what issue?
All organizations have dirt they're hiding.
It's not huge, but I found a few things that will taint their reputation.
What about Song Eun Jae? Are you going to leave her alone?
Of course not.
I will ask Hwang In Kyung to speak at the press conference.
And I will also release video footage of her baby, who is barely breathing.
The public opinion regarding Song Eun Jae will become even colder.
You're here.
- I see the surgery is going smoothly. - Yes.
Chairman Jang won't back off quietly.
I'm sure he'll try to discuss it or threaten me.
The real war... might be starting now.
A war? What war?
I thought he ripped up the contract.
And Doosung didn't invest in the hospital yet.
He'll think his plan is ruined.
If they lose their base hospital, telemedicine won't take off.
Then Doosung won't be able to make money.
Then will Doosung and Geoje Jaeil Hospital become enemies?
They're like David and Goliath.
So Kwak, don't we need a rock too?
- A rock? - Yeah, a rock.
We should try to shoot them with a slingshot, at the very least.
Jae Geol, I warned you. I told you to speak so I can understand.
Did you meet Hwang In Kyung?
Not just eye contact. Did you question her properly about this issue?
- You didn't, did you? - I tried.
- But? - Her baby is sick.
- And... - And what?
Today, the mother is sick too.
This is so frustrating.
Kwak Hyun.
Listen carefully.
If we think about it, this all started with her.
As soon as Hwang In Kyung charged Song In Kyung and got the press involved.
That's when this crisis started.
Is this something she could have done by herself?
Of course not. There's someone backing her.
Who? Are you talking about Doosung?
That's the most likely scenario. That's what Doctor Song told me.
Hwang In Kyung's representative, Lawyer Jo Sung Min
isn't a medical specialist, but a labor specialist.
He was Doosung's representative when the heavy industry went on strike.
I bet he offered to be their lawyer and pay them lots of money when they win.
And that's why she was willing to bury the two doctors...
who saved her baby's life.
- Jae Geol. - This is it.
- What do you mean? - This is our rock.
Hey, let's release this information to the media.
- We can't. - Why not?
- We have no proof. - They didn't have any proof either.
- They did the same thing. - It's not the right way.
If we miss this opportunity, we'll walk away with nothing.
What if it's not true?
What if we release it, but it's all wrong?
What will do if we find out it's not true?
I'm sure she's already devastated because her baby is sick.
We can't hurt the mother like that.
Do you know how David won with just one rock?
He found the right timing.
And this is the perfect timing for us.
We need to check the facts first. And Han Sol's mother is a patient right now.
I'll talk to her when she's stable.
- Leave it to me. - We don't have time.
The other side can try to rip us apart in the meantime.
- I know. - Really?
Do you really know?
Fine.
Try it your way, then.
But this is the last time.
If your method doesn't work, I'm going to do it my way.
Here he comes.
- Doctor Lee, you're here. - I heard there's an emergency patient.
Here, have some coffee. It's on Doctor Lee.
Thank you.
You took care of the baby every day, but today, you took care of the mother.
I didn't take care of her. All I did was escort her to the ER.
Doctor Kwak is really something else.
How can he be so caring when the guardian is being so cold-hearted?
He's a total angel.
Doctor Kim, what is it?
What? Han Sol? I got it. I'll be right there.
Doctor, what's wrong with Han Sol?
Go with her.
What is it? What's the problem?
His oxygen saturation is 85.
His capillary refill time is five seconds.
- Pass me the epinephrine. - Yes.
There's no use.
Doctor, his heart rate dropped to 60.
Oh no. I'll start compressions.
- Doctor. - There's no use.
It'll just make the baby suffer.
Then let's attach him to life support. That will help.
Unfortunately, we don't have a life support machine at this hospital.
You don't have... life support?
No. It'll take at least an hour and a half
to transfer him to another hospital.
Will Han Sol be able to survive that long?
Do you think that's in his best interest?
I'm sad to say this, but there's nothing more we can do.
We did everything we could in the name of science.
Then...
shall we try something else?
If we did everything we could, scientifically, then...
we should try something...
that only humans can do.
- Pray. - Pray?
Doctor Kwak, do you mean...
Please allow me do it, Doctor.
If there's something we can do...
I want to... try it.
I'm begging you.
