I brought this since they didn't have permanent glue.
Even if he survives, what will you do if his family complains?
Do you have something to cover the pericardium?
No, we don't.
What do you have to use as a patch?
We have to move him now.
A glove.
Bring me a new glove.
I'll cut it and use it as a patch.
- What? - There's no time.
If he dies, that's the end of you.
You can't save every patient.
Think about the patients you still need to save.
Don't be nearsighted and look at the big picture.
If you can't save a patient right in front of you, you're not a surgeon.
Here.
Come on.
You'll...
regret it.
It'd be better than regretting his death.
- Please lower the blood pressure. - Okay.
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
The bleeding won't stop.
There's no other way!
Not only did you open someone up at my hospital,
but you're using glue?
The blood pressure is dropping!
No.
You crazy bastard!
I think the bleeding stopped.
Suture!
He'll survive.
Let's wrap it up with Ioban and transfer him.
- Can you prepare the blood? - Yes.
We still have the ambulance, right?
Hold on!
I'll go. He's my responsibility the moment I used glue on him.
No, I brought in this patient.
[ Episode 5 ]
Where are we going?
We'll go to Myungsung University Hospital.
Do you think they'll be able to save him there?
Why don't we go to Taesan Hospital?
Taesan would be better. They have a lot of experience with rupture cases.
How do you know? [ Rupture: Laceration of the heart ]
Do you work at Taesan Hospital?
Yes.
You work at Taesan, and you're bringing a patient
you used glue on at your part-time job?
Do you care more about that stuff than the patient?
That's not what I meant...
Let's go to Taesan Hospital. I'll contact them.
Do you think he'll make it?
We'll revive him. For sure.
Even if he died, nobody would've been able to raise a stink
before you used glue on him.
I shouldn't have chosen cardiac surgery if I was scared of that sort of thing.
You don't seem like a doctor who works at Taesan.
What kind of surgeon works at Taesan?
Somebody who went to Taesan and
only cares about his well-being?
You don't even try if there's no guarantee that the patient will live.
What kind of hospital does someone like you work for?
I'll choose the hospital for the surgery.
You used glue while you were at your part-time job.
This is the sort of thing they won't accept, do you think they'll give you an OR?
Who's on call in cardiology today?
It's Dr. Choi Seok Han.
Please let me talk to him.
It's an emergency.
Who's this?
This is Yoon Soo Yeon.
Yoon Soo Yeon...
Yoon Soo Yeon.
He came here because he saved Yoon Soo Yeon.
Right now, you, Woo Jin, Tom, Dick and Harry are here...
You guys are all here,
but how do you think Dr. Choi was able to come here then?
Because he saved Yoon Soo Yeon.
I guess you never met her.
She went to the U.S. before you came.
The chairman's daughter.
If I'm royalty,
she's ultra, super royalty.
[ Dr. Choi Seok Han ]
This is Choi Seok Han.
Doctor, this is Yoon Soo Yeon.
I'm bringing a male patient in his 50s who's suffered from
blunt trauma and had a cardiac tamponade on the plane
to Taesan Hospital right now.
Doctor,
he needs an emergency operation.
Okay,
I got it.
[ Heart Surgeons ]
[ Cardiac surgery department, Hwang Young Ki, Male, 56, Blunt trauma LV rupture ]
- Here we go again. - Hi.
Aigoo, you're all working so hard.
Hello.
- Hello. - How come we have an emergency every Sunday?
- Did you call everyone? - Yes.
They're on the way.
How about Yoon Ho? He must've been excited to go to a baseball game.
He cried his heart out because we had to come back.
I barely calmed him down saying we'll go to a theme park next week.
I don't think you can go next week, either.
Hey, be careful what you say.
When is the patient arriving?
2:00 p.m. ETA.
- How about Dr. Choi? - He'll be down soon.
Right, we need to check the echocardiogram. [ Echo: Sonogram of the heart ]
Who's on call in cardiology today?
It's Dr. An.
Dr. An?
- She's... - You know, the female Park Tae Soo.
Dr. An Ji Na?
Let her know we have an emergency case.
Aigoo.
It's completely clogged.
Please let Dr. Lee Joong Do know
that we need to put a stent in.
I don't think Dr. Lee can come today.
How come?
- He apparently has a golf meeting. - Really?
He can't come then.
All right!
I'll give him a call.
Yes, Doctor.
It's a 48-year-old male patient who came to the ER.
I did an angiography and it seems the LAD is badly clogged.
I think he needs a stent immediately. [ LAD: Left anterior descending artery ]
- I can't right now. - Pardon?
Where are you?
I'm exercising right now.
Nice shot!
I guess...
you can't make it before it finishes.
Should I try putting in the stent myself then?
Why would you?
Dr. Park is at a conference. Unavailable.
- But why would you do that? - Well...
You're exercising right now, and if we don't do it right now...
- Do you think he'll die right now? - Not exactly, but...
The patient is in a great deal of pain and...
I'll be there in two hours. Get things set up.
Okay.
I will.
Doctor,
the CS is asking you to check the echo for an emergency patient arriving soon.
Yes, yes.
How dare I try to stent?
I better just monitor the echo.
- Who was it? - An Ji Na.
She wanted to put in a stent.
Why don't you just let her?
She wants to so badly. Don't you feel bad for her?
Who's calling the shots?
If I let her put in stents already,
she'll get cocky.
Nice shot!
Director,
You're on a roll today.
I'm glad I decided to do this.
You're always so devoted to the hospital.
Why don't you do this more often from now on for a change of scenery?
I think I will. Please invite me often.
I'd be happy to.
Stop kidding around.
Why don't you follow them?
You're not here to play golf, are you?
You're here to win the director's heart.
Why don't you go say something?
Hush!
Whom do you think I came here for?
- You mean it was for me? - Who else then?
Telling me to come to CS
and even hiring Park Tae Soo. It's all my fault, isn't it?
Hey. Don't you know that all this is to make you a faculty member?
If I don't become a faculty after all this,
you take responsibility, Dad.
Look over there.
You're too easy to fool.
Mother of God.
Wait for me!
Ms. Bae.
Hurry.
Who was that?
He seemed nice.
I haven't had a blind date in a while. I didn't want to cancel.
What?
So you just brought him here?
I asked him to wait in the lobby for four hours.
So he said he would?
I'm quite pretty, you know.
How impressive, the both of you.
Take off the false lashes.
Okay.
What if he doesn't recognize me after the surgery?
Just put them back on afterward.
There's glue in the OR.
I'll put them on for you.
I also used to work at Taesan
until four years ago.
You went to the U.S. before I came to Taesan, right?
Do you know me?
I've heard about you, Dr. Yoon.
I had no idea we worked for the same hospital.
I'm sorry...
for yelling at you in the ER.
It's okay. You were in a hurry.
At least you didn't swear.
What did you hear about me?
That you're the chairman's daughter.
Is that why you apologized?
I don't care whose daughter you are.
I was just curious about
the person Dr. Choi Seok Han saved.
We're here!
[ Emergency room ]
Let's unload carefully.
Let's move quickly.
- Please hurry. - Okay.
You're Dr. Yoon, right?
They already told me.
What's going on, Doc?
- Were you at your part-time job? - It's a long story.
- Let's put him in first. - Yes.
I'll get it.
Yes, two orders of gomtang, please.
Give him a shot here please.
Call me in front of the ER. I'll come out...
No, I don't need it.
Please make it hot and quick.
Yes, thank you.
Hey.
Hey, Woo Jin.
What's this? Were you at your part-time job? [ Dr. Seo Kang Hoon, Bohye Hospital ]
Did you get into trouble?
Things just happened that way.
Is it something serious?
Woo Jin, let's talk later.
Please take care of that patient. I'll be in the OR.
I ordered gomtang for Mother...
Glue?
- Doctor, the CT scan came in. - Yeah.
You're here.
It's a cardiac tamponade case. Please do a heart function test.
They opened up his chest for a cardiac tamponade?
Why?
I'm not sure...
It's an LV rupture. [ LV rupture: Left ventricular rupture ]
Soo Yeon.
When did you come back?
It just happened that way. Please check the echo.
He was in a car accident recently.
I did a CPR since he developed a cardiac tamponade.
And I performed an emergency pericardiotomy at Bohye Hospital.
I only stopped the bleeding because an LV rupture occurred.
I guess you managed to close the beating heart.
I'll explain later.
You cardiac surgeons are always like this.
What?
You opened up the sternum without any tests in a hurry.
Now you want me to check the echo?
I had to.
We would've lost him unless we opened him up and stopped the bleeding.
It was that critical,
and now you don't have anything to do?
The vitals are still okay.
Let's check quickly and go to the OR...
Should I hurry just because you said so?
That's up to me.
He needs to be in the OR immediately
for him to survive.
Let's focus on the patient.
You think you're the only one who cares for the patient?
What if he gets delayed while I'm checking the echo
and goes into cardiac arrest again?
What will you do then?
I'll take care of him then.
Doctor.
Please make an exception, Doctor An Ji Na.
She must've been in a hurry if she opened him up without running tests.
I'll make an exception
because you asked me to.
Thank you, Dr. An.
It doesn't look so good.
I don't think there's a lot of blood in his heart.
How's the heart functioning?
The left ventricle isn't performing so well,
but it's not so bad for a heart that's been punctured.
I think this is where it burst open.
This...
isn't stitched normally.
What did you do?
It was patched.
It couldn't be sutured since the periderm was too weak.
Is that so?
But the patch seems kind of strange.
It must've been difficult to suture. [ Suture: Stitch ]
How did you keep the patch in place?
The thing is...
Did he, by any chance...
Let's move him to the OR.
Yes.
What's the temperature?
Please hydrate it. I'll be there soon.
Doctor,
I'd like to join you.
Why don't you just go home today.
The chairman must be waiting.
I'm the one who opened him up.
Do you want to take responsibility?
- Yes. - Tell me then.
Why did you come all the way here?
There must've been a closer hospital.
It was glued on.
Did you do that?
- No. - Who did then?
I was the operating surgeon.
You don't have to be responsible yet.
Are you still...
unable to forgive me?
Forgive?
Feels like it was yesterday.
Are you back for good?
Yeah.
How have you been?
Did you even think of me?
I'm sorry, Ji Na.
You left all of a sudden.
Same way coming back.
I guess...
you could leave Cleveland Clinic easily.
- It's not like that. - It must be nice.
To be able to do whatever you want.
It probably seems that way.
[ Mom ]
Yes, Mom.
Tae Soo.
Where are you?
- Are you still on a date? - What?
I'm about to go into a surgery with an emergency patient.
Is that so?
Are you not well?
No...
I'm okay.
I have time right now. Should I come by?
I'm just happy to hear your voice.
Come by after you're done with the surgery.
Woo Jin ordered gomtang for you. He'll be there soon.
Okay. I got it.
- Good luck with the surgery. - Yes.
I'll be there soon.
Were you at the hospital?
I brought him from the hospital I was working part-time.
I'm sorry.
And you met Dr. Yoon Soo Yeon there?
Yes.
Are you the one who used the glue as well?
Yes.
Yes, it was me.
It was a dangerous thing to do.
Excuse me.
Yes.
The doctor who came with me...
Dr. Park Tae Soo?
He's Park Tae Soo?
Yes.
Do you know him?
I've met him before.
What's he like?
He's in the fourth year of his fellowship.
The most famous fellow doctor at Taesan Hospital.
He goes in to all kinds of surgeries.
I heard that Dr. Choi Seok Han hired him.
She's going to die!
Hold on.
Doctor.
Doctor, please save my mom.
Doctor!
Please save her.
You call yourselves doctors?
How could you call yourselves doctors?
Mom.
Dr. Park's mother is on the heart-transplant list.
She was diagnosed with a DCMP three months ago.
That's probably why he's working part-time.

Yes, she has a DCMP. A transplant candidate.
Is she Dr. Park Tae Soo's mother?

No.

- Check the pulse. - Pardon?
- Okay. - Betadine.
How many times was the epi used?
Three times.

I decided to put it in.
I did CPR right away.

Yes, I'll be right there.

four years, thanks to you.

- Yes. - I'll finish it up.

What happened? You didn't even tell me.
Are you back for good?
I was confused when Dr. Choi told me to look for you.
Dr. Choi looked for me?
Dr. Choi likes Dr. Park a lot.
I see.
How's Dr. Park's mother?
We'll have to wait and see.
Suture.
I guess Dr. Choi went to Dr. Park's mother.
He didn't show it, but I'm sure he was very worried.
I guess the Cleveland Clinic is really reputable.
Doctor.
Thank you.
How are her pupils?
I think she's okay.
And the Echo's working well.
Don't worry so much.
I was...
upset to hear about my mother earlier.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, I would've been the same.
I'll call Dr. Kim at the transplant center.
Yes.
She'll be at the top of the list now. She'll be able to get it soon.
Talk to cardiology and put me as her attending physician.
Thank you.
Doctor,
how did the surgery go?
It went well.
Did you call his family?
Yes, they'll be here soon.
I'll explain to them myself.
You will?
Will you tell them about the glue, too?
Yes.
The family probably won't understand why you had to use glue.
Think carefully.
You'll stay here tonight, right?
Yes, I'll be here.
See you then.
I remember when I first saw you.
You came in an ambulance with her stomach open.
She's my mom. There's nothing I can't do for her.
Even if she's your mother,
it was still impressive.
Even though everyone here thinks they're so great,
I don't think anyone could open someone up in the ambulance
or glue a heart together.
They care more about their security than the patients.
Anyone would've done the same if he were in that situation.
Even Dr. Koo Dong Joon?
Dong Joon would do well, too.
I'll take care of Mother's dressing.
Don't bring up the glue, just like Dr. Choi said.
The family will never understand.
You'd be blamed even though you saved him.
You're about to renew your contract, too...
[ Surgery in Progress ]
Dr. Yoon, good work.
We'll take care of the patient. You can go home now.
Yes, Doctor.
You had a long trip, too.
Thank you. See you when I start working.
When do you start?
On Tuesday.
Okay.
Good work, Doctor.
Take care.
It was glued on.
You don't have to be responsible yet.
Are you still unable to forgive me?
[ Dad ]
Yes, Dad.
I'm done with the surgery.
I'll be right down.
Yes.

Would you be able to come back?
[ Taesan Hospital is taking a leap ]
How about Uncle?
He's destined to leave Taesan.
Soo Yeon.
Dad!
Wow.
It's been so long, hasn't it?
You've worked so hard.
It feels so good to see you finally.
Yeah, right! If you missed me that much,
how could you go straight to the OR instead?
I'm sorry.
It was an emergency patient.
So how did the surgery go?
It went well, thanks to Dr. Choi.
Is that so?
You must be hungry.
Should we go get something tasty?
- Yes, Dad. - Here.
Are you still...
unable to forgive me?
He said he hit his chest on the steering wheel.
I thought he was okay because he said he'd go see a doctor in Korea.
I think he got a cardiac tamponade on the plane because of that trauma.
An emergency treatment was given and was sent to a hospital near the airport.
We found a rupture in his heart there and
brought him here to finish the operation.
Doctor,
he's okay, right?
We'll have to wait and see,
but he'll wake up.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Doctor.
But...
The family probably won't understand why you had to use glue.
There's something I haven't told you.
The bleeding wouldn't stop at the first hospital
so I used...
- glue... - Uncle!
Uncle.
The surgery went well.
I took you in even though you didn't attend our university.
Is this how you return the favor?
Do you think you can still survive after this?
You're finished, too.
Didn't I tell you that I can't raise you, but I can destroy you?

Long time no see.
Right.

It's not likely that it's myocarditis.
She's okay then, right?
Well, yeah.
Maybe we overreacted.
The pediatrician will confirm using the ultrasound.
I'll confirm myself if I have to. Don't worry.
Dr. Choi, how did it go?
- Did you get the results? - Yes.
I don't think it's myocarditis.
Is that so?
That's a relief.
You overreacted because she's your daughter.
She's arriving soon. Get ready to go into surgery.
Over here!
Oxygen!
Get some oxygen first!
Soo Yeon, we're here. It's okay.
You're Dr. Choi Seok Han, right?
I heard that you've done the Rastelli procedure before.
My daughter received pulmonary atresia surgery when she was young.
She wasn't eating well. I think the kondu (artificial vein) is congested.

Start the surgery right now!
I'll let the pediatrician take care of her. You need to save her first!
Please watch Yoo Bin.
