(Episode 27)
How did you know that...
everyone would come?
I believed in them.
I felt that they would come if they heard me on the PA.
Come on, what's going on?
You made the announcement ages ago. Why are you scrubbing in now?
Had I known, I would have finished surgery in the next room.
I'm sorry.
As if you'd do that.
You were the first one to leave when you heard the PA.
- Professor Lee did? - Is that true?
I did? No way.
"Do you think I can't get a job if you fire me?"
"I've been thinking about opening up a pain management clinic lately."
You were so cool, Professor.
I wasn't that cool. My goodness.
My legs are still shaking.
By the way, I think he really might fire us.
The director looked furious this time.
They can fire us all.
Let's see if they can have surgeries without us.
They could never.
We're ready for surgery.
Thank you, all.
Professor Lee, may I start the surgery?
Yes, please do.
Then I'll begin the surgery.
Okay.
Scalpel.
I'm sorry.
The emergency surgery will end in four hours.
We'll prepare for surgery again at that time.
Professor Choi.
- Yes? - Someone...
must be held accountable.
I'd like to...
fire everyone from the surgical team from Taesan,
but he does not want me to go that far.
- Then? - We can just kick out...
the person who led it.
Park Tae Soo.
- Director. - You should be...
relieved that we can end this by firing...
just one fellow.
The surgery that Park Tae Soo is performing now...
will be the last he performs at Taesan.
(Restricted Zone)
Hi, Dae Eun. Daddy's at the hospital.
We had an emergency surgery.
What?
That's right.
Listen to Grandma,
and I'll be there when you wake up, okay?
Yes, I promise. Daddy loves you too.
Okay.
Know what my daughter said?
She asked if it was another dissection.
She must be the only seven-year-old who knows that.
You should make her a doctor.
Tell her to go into cardiothoracic surgery.
It's not something she can do just because she wants to.
That's true. It's not for everyone.
To be honest, no one in their right mind goes into CS.
There are emergencies constantly, and you can never go home.
But you only do cardiothoracic surgeries.
It's fun being the anesthesiologist for them.
At other surgeries,
it's so boring until it's over. I can barely stay awake.
But I have to be on my toes here.
That's why we can't do cardiothoracic surgeries...
without a good anesthesiologist.
What? Why are you inflating my ego so much?
It's true we can't operate confidently without you there.
Professor Choi.
Hi, Professor Choi. You came.
We'll perform the VAD implantation immediately after this surgery.
Sure. We should.
Sorry about earlier, but it was an emergency. We had to.
You did well, Dr. Park.
This will be your last surgery at Taesan.
Professor.
Professor Choi. Why are you doing this? It was an emergency.
Weren't you prepared for that much?
Did you think the director wouldn't do anything?
Since when was anything more important than an urgent patient...
at Taesan?
Ever since we got a new director.
I'll be waiting next door.
Dr. Park. I'll finish up.
Go talk to the professor.
Yes, Dr. Park. You should go.
I'm sure Professor Choi doesn't mean it.
How does it feel to have finished your last surgery at Taesan?
- I'm sorry, sir. - You're sorry again?
All you think when you see patients is that you must save them, right?
Because of your reckless behavior,
the entire surgical team was at risk, not just you.
The patient was in danger.
You should've sent her to another hospital.
You know no hospital would've taken her.
That's right.
And why do you think that is?
They know...
she'd die if they don't take her.
Are you the only one who's a doctor? Are they not doctors?
If you do whatever you wish, you can't survive at a hospital.
A hospital isn't for saving patients.
They merely need patients in order to stay alive.
Do you still not know that's reality?
If that's the case, I want to change reality.
You want to change reality?
Do you have the power to?
What did you gain by saving an urgent patient before a VIP?
The reality of having to leave Taesan.
What happens to urgent patients if you're gone from Taesan?
They'll have nowhere to go.
Your action today is unforgivable from Taesan's perspective.
Then why did you call me back to Taesan?
- What? - The USB drive.
You sent it, didn't you?
That day,
you put me to sleep.
The day of my mother's heart transplant.
In order to give the heart to Dr. Yoon.
I thought about it over and over,
and you were the only person who would've sent it.
That's right, I sent it.
Why?
Because that was the only way to get you back here.
You want to change reality?
How?
At least I won't use the methods that you do.
Blocking access to all ORs to operate on one person.
Is that the type of doctor you want to become?
What if what that one person can bring me...
is greater than what 10 or 100 of the people you save can bring?
Is that...
the pediatric cardiology center?
That's right.
Assist in Han Min Sik's VAD surgery...
if you want to remain at Taesan.
Okay, then. I'll let you rest.
I'll make thorough preparations so that there are no more mistakes.
(VIP Ward)
Professor Choi.
There's something I couldn't tell you before.
The sarcoma surgery.
- Tae Soo knows everything. - What?
What do you mean, he knows everything?
I told him...
that the point of the surgery was the patient's death.
(The patient was not expected to survive)
- Seok Han. - Should I still tell Tae Soo...
that it'll be his last surgery?
How long will you keep Tae Soo around?
You should've dumped him when you dumped his mother.
He will get in your way eventually.
So, tell me how you feel...
after barging in and ruining an important surgery.
Are you saying I was wrong?
Wrong?
Yes, you were terribly wrong.
If you weren't my niece, you would've been fired.
Shutting down the entire OR for just one person wasn't wrong,
operating on an urgent patient was wrong?
It was my decision as the director to shut down the operating rooms.
It was for Taesan.
It was for Taesan?
Dad would've never allowed such a thing.
If he were here,
Han Min Sik wouldn't have chosen Taesan.
Who do you think built Taesan...
to what it is today?
Your father, whose hands shook so much that he couldn't operate,
that he brought Seok Han to operate for him?
- Uncle. - In order to get you your surgery,
he fabricated Seok Han's daughter's test results.
How long will you tell me I should leave Taesan?
If you want to kick me out, bring me proof.
What...
did you just say?
Dad fabricated Yoo Bin's...
test results?
That's right.
If he hadn't,
you wouldn't be here right now.
Dr. Park's mother wouldn't have had the heart stolen from her either.
Now that you know what your dad did,
stay down.
Soo Yeon,
we must protect Taesan.
We must bury what we must.
We're the only ones left in this world.
Don't forget that.
Don't go on a rampage...
with Professor Choi and Park Tae Soo.
They will...
end up leaving Taesan.
I'll start the VAD surgery.
(Heart Surgeons)
Scalpel.
Coring tool.
VAD, please.
Wrench, please.
Tunneler.
- Let's turn on the VAD. - Yes, sir.
- Everything looks good. - The surgery went well.
I'll close now.
- Take off the pump now. - Taking it off now.
Clamp.
The surgery went well.
Well done.
He'll be discharged over the weekend.
He won't have a problem attending events...
next week for his election.
Okay. Thank you.
(VIP Wing)
Are you ignoring my warning?
You let Park Tae Soo assist you in the VAD surgery?
I needed an assistant with good hands.
You want him to be in the same boat with you.
If so, do it right.
Make sure he doesn't jump off.
Okay.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E27 Heart Surgeons "You Don’t Know Everything" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why didn't you tell me...
my dad fabricated Yoo Bin's test results?
Nothing would have changed even if you were aware of it.
I did think something was off.
I had no idea he had gone this far.
I told you to remember him as a dad who did his best.
Because of what he did, you chose to be on this path.
I'll help.
I believe the process is just as important as the result.
You cannot join hands with my uncle.
That's none of your business.
He's a scary man.
He will never set up a pediatric cardiology center.
Peds, CS, and OBGYN have the highest deficit.
The center needs these three departments. He'd never do that.
In the end, he'll kick you out after taking advantage of you.
You know that too, Professor.
I'll handle my own business.
Please help me fight...
against my uncle.
- Me? - You operated...
on the patient with sarcoma.
You're the only one who knows...
the truth.
Goodness.
I should go home, take a quick shower, and come back.
The morning is about to break after doing two surgeries.
Dr. Park.
That wasn't...
your last surgery, right?
It's not, right?
Professor Choi said it in the heat of the moment, right?
Even so, how could he say something like that?
That wasn't my last surgery.
I told you that I would never leave Taesan again.
Right.
It's all good then.
I should eat up and go home before my daughter wakes up.
No way. It's all soggy again.
We never eat on time.
Why do we always eat cup noodles?
That was Han Min Sik?
The Han Min Sik I know?
Who is the Han Min Sik that you know?
Don't be like that. I watch the news too.
Gosh, he's impressive.
He closed down the ORs and got surgery.
That's considered impressive?
Of course, the director is giving him special treatment.
No, he's not impressive at all. What he did was so low.
We're more impressive.
We stopped that VIP surgery and forced our way in.
Woo Jin, it's all thanks to you.
The lady's surgery went well.
Thank you.
- I didn't do anything. - No, you did a lot.
I'm grateful that Professor Choi stopped you from getting you fired.
But he changed a lot.
He wouldn't have soju with us now.
I get it. He already changed when he drugged you to sleep.
Woo Jin.
I found who sent me the USB.
What? Really?
It's Dr. Yoon, isn't it?
It's Professor Choi.
He did? Why?
He put you to sleep, let you know of what he did,
and stopped you from getting fired this time.
I can't figure out his angle.
(Taesan University Hospital)
Moon Seung Jae.
Anything you want to tell me?
What do you mean?
Don't be like that.
Oh, that.
Thank you for the stuffed animal. It's so cute.
- It's not that. - Then what?
The VIP. Who was it?
I don't know.
It's all right. I won't tell anyone.
Ask Chief Koo if you're curious.
Do you think my old man is going to tell me that?
Of course not.
The moment you find out,
the whole hospital will know within half a day.
Do you want me to finish you?
Okay.
Are you sure you can keep it in?
Are you sure?
Actually, I don't know either. I was in the OR.
Hey. Hey, Seung Jae.
Professor.
Hey.
Can I assist you in this surgery?
Why would you want to do that?
It's because...
- He finds surgeries fun. - Yes.
He really wants to scrub in.
- Sure. - Thank you.
I took a look at it before coming.
- This surgery won't be easy. - No.
The patient's lung function took a sharp dive.
I'm not sure if the patient can recover after we remove a lung.
It took too long for the patient to be diagnosed with lung cancer.
I want to do something since my patient is still young.
I'm worried if my patient can withstand it after surgery.
The adhesion is severe.
Peeling it off is too difficult.
With one wrong move, we might not be able to stop the bleeding.
What should we do?
Let's make a hole and try it with our hands.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- Retractor. - Yes, sir.
- Pull it a bit more. - Okay.
What is it?
What is this?
I feel a lot of small bumps inside the pleura.
Maybe it metastasized.
We need a biopsy.
- This has to be frozen. - Yes, doctor.
(Flash freezing sample to test for cancer)
(Restricted Zone)
- The result is taking a while. - It is.
This is the OR. Yes.
I understand.
What did they say?
The cancer spread to the pleura.
What?
We won't be able to operate.
She doesn't even smoke. Why...
Professor.
- Tae Soo. - Hi, Dr. Park.
Seung Jae told me...
that you couldn't operate.
There was nothing I could do.
These are the most painful moments.
I question whether I am really a doctor.
Professor.
Ms. Park. You're in the intensive care unit.
Ma'am.
Professor.
What about the surgery?
The cancer spread to walls of the lungs,
so we had to close you up without operating. I'm sorry.
Professor.
Please do something for me.
My Jin Woo.
He's going on a school trip tomorrow.
Please let him...
enjoy his trip.
Yes, ma'am.
I understand.
Amazing. They shut down the entire OR.
I've never seen this before.
He went straight to his room without going through the ICU.
That's better for us since we don't have to cater to him.
What's the big deal about politics?
There's someone who should be very curious right now.
There he is.
Dr. Koo.
Why is he so down?
He went into Jin Woo's mother's surgery.
Ma'am.
You must have come straight from school.
Yes. Please, have this.
You drink it. You're still growing, so you must be hungry.
I'm fine. I'm all grown up.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
How did my mom's surgery go?
Let's go see her.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Doctor.
Hello.
- Hi, Jin Woo. - Hello.
Hi, Professor.
Hi, Jin Woo.
How did my mom's surgery go?
It went well.
It did? Thank you.
I prayed all day long at school.
Mom.
Jin Woo.
They said your surgery went well.
I'm so glad. I was worried.
Did you finish...
packing your bag?
Yes.
I should have...
packed for you.
I'm in junior high now. You don't have to worry.
Jin Woo.
I hear you're going on a school trip tomorrow.
Yes.
- Where to? - Jeju.
How nice.
Let's go together once you leave the hospital.
I'll note all the nice spots.
Okay.
Please take good care of my mom until I get back.
Sure.
Jin Woo.
Doctor.
Where's your little brother?
He's home alone, so I have to look after him.
You're so cool. You take good care of your brother, too.
It's tough, isn't it?
No.
Okay.
I'm okay now since my mom's surgery went well.
What is that?
Get something good to eat with your friends on your trip.
Why would you...
Because I'm proud of you.
You took good care of your mother while she was at the hospital.
Think of it as a gift from a big brother.
Thank you.
Don't worry about your mom, okay?
- Call if you have any questions. - I will.
Will he be okay?
It'll be so shocking when he gets back.
It's out of her motherly love, that she wants him...
to at least enjoy his school trip.
(Episode 28 will air shortly.)
(Episode 28)
I heard Han Min Sik left without any problems.
Yes.
I would've gone too if I had known.
After what happened immediately before his surgery,
I was very worried that he wouldn't get his surgery at Taesan.
I'll worry about things like that.
You just make sure word doesn't get out,
so it doesn't harm his campaign.
If word gets out,
I'll hold you accountable first.
Yes, sir.
Also,
why are there so many long-term in-patients?
There must be people who have not adjusted to the new Taesan yet.
- Call a meeting. - Yes, sir.
That feels good.
I have one son, but he's useless.
He never gives me a shoulder rub or anything.
Chief Koo?
Why won't you answer your phone?
You called?
It was on vibrate, so I didn't hear it.
Would you like to give this a try?
It feels really good.
This isn't the time to be doing this.
What now?
You should've overseen the number of in-patients.
I'm busy operating. How can I worry about things like that too?
That's why the director is so frustrated.
- Was he very angry? - You'll know when you get there.
Darn it. This is so bad.
Tell me if your department...
makes more money than the parking lot.
Who has higher profits than the funeral parlor?
Then let's change our sign.
"Taesan Parking". "Taesan Funeral Home".
With medical services on the side. Don't you agree?
And I guess our hospital will start providing lodging now.
Do you take care of patients who have been here for over 30 days?
Cardiothoracic Surgery, especially.
Patients who are done with tests and surgeries...
won't need to pay anything else except for medicine and food.
I'm sorry.
- Get them out as soon as possible. - Get them out?
Either send them to another hospital or discharge them.
You must kick them out for us to accept new patients.
Yes, sir.
How...
Must I tell you that too?
- I see. - And...
Did you know that your department...
suffered the biggest cut from Health Insurance Review and Assessment?
- Again? - I told you many times.
I told you to use the ECMO on patients who are likely to survive.
Because patients keep dying after you use it on them,
your budget keeps getting cut.
We put patients on the ECMO in order to save them.
We must put them on the ECMO with doctors to observe them closely.
That way, we can save patients.
If you want us to use it only on patients who will live...
If we comply with the insurance, all of our patients will die.
Those public officials have never seen the face of our patients.
What do they know?
Lately,
you've been quite chatty.
The budget cut. The budget cut.
I'll always have those words engraved deep in my heart,
sir.
All the test results are normal.
It's been a week we suggested discharging the patient.
Go on.
The patient says the meals are tasty and is trying to stay here.
If the patient won't leave because of the meals,
have the patient fast.
Tell the patient to fast starting tonight.
- Yes, sir. - Next.
Lee Jae Hyun. He's been here for 36 days.
36 days?
We suggested getting discharged 20 days ago.
He's been staying at the hospital...
complaining about pain from areas not relevant to the surgery.
Have that patient fast starting now.
Under your instruction, he's been off the meal plan for a week.
But he's still here?
He's having his meals at the convenience store and restaurants.
Where is his ward?
It's him.
- Do your best. - I will, sir.
Mr. Lee Jae Hyun? How do you feel?
Gosh, Professor.
My shoulders and arms hurt so much.
Do you think the surgery might've gone wrong?
The surgery was perfect.
Your shoulders and arms hurt...
because you've been lying down all day. It's a bedsore.
No way. I can't sleep at night at all.
Since I can't get much sleep, I don't feel well at all.
You can't sleep because you take too many naps.
You read your comic books and take naps all day long.
"Fast". Can't you see this?
You're eating all those snacks whenever you want.
The test results are normal. You are in great health right now.
Hey, you.
I told you it hurts. What do you know?
It hurts. My body hurts.
I think I know when a patient is faking his illness.
I'm the best doctor. The best doctor.
I know that you won't leave...
because the hospital dormitory is cheap.
It's warm and clean. I'm sure it beats other lodgings.
However, you must leave...
so that patients in real need of medical care can get admitted.
Will you leave if you see patients...
who can't get treated and get admitted because we don't have...
a vacant bed?
I mean, I...
- Dr. Moon. - Yes?
- Process him to be discharged. - Yes, sir.
I'll see you six month later for your follow-up appointment.
Wait, Doctor...
Doctor.
- Doctor. - You were so charismatic.
Next.
Director Yoon, what brings you here?
This is Professor Son Jae Myung's patient?
Yes, it will be exactly a month tomorrow.
The patient hasn't shown any changes.
Are you bragging about that?
He brought the patient to the OR, but he came out...
without being able to do anything.
Then it means there's nothing we can do for the patient.
Why don't we send the patient to a sanitarium?
Why are we keeping this patient here?
Call the guardian and start the discharge process.
Yes, sir.
Where is the guardian? I'll talk to the family.
School trip.
He's on a school trip.
- School trip? - School trip?
Yes, the guardian is the son, a middle school student.
Chief Koo, your department is a mess.
I'm sorry.
Send the patient to someplace else as soon as possible.
If this patient is still here the next time I come down here,
I'll hold you responsible.
Starting now, the director will manage every single patient.
You should send the patient away today if you can.
When will the son come back from the school trip?
He'll come back tomorrow.
When he comes back, send her to a sanitarium right away.
By the way, his mother is in the hospital.
How could her son go on a school trip?
This is why people say your heart has dried up.
How dare...
Dr. Koo Dong Joon.
Think about how desperately Jin Woo wanted to be on that trip.
Jin Woo?
That's the son who went on the school trip.
Can't you think about the mother who would want...
her son to go on the trip, worry-free?
We just need to be a good surgeon.
Must we think about what they want too?
Your son couldn't go on the school trip...
because Mom was sick.
You little runt.
Why are you bringing that up now?
You forced me to bring it up.
You know that Mom felt terrible that I couldn't go. How could you?
Why are you crying?
When the son comes back,
notify me first.
Yes, Chief Koo.
Why do you keep bringing that up?
You're hurting me.
Darn you.
The director just scolded him to discharge the long-stay patients.
He'll be fine.
It's not like this is his first time.
Anyway, Jin Woo doesn't know anything.
You'll meet the daughter of the patient with the sarcoma?
Yes.
What will you do when you meet her?
I need to tell her something.
Everyone agrees that he did his best during surgery.
The patient couldn't survive the surgery.
I know.
That's how it seems that way.
"Seems that way?"
You don't trust Professor Choi?
You don't.
No, I do.
Because I trust him,
I can't end it here.
I'm off now.
Other hospitals said they wouldn't perform the surgery.
They said the surgery itself was too dangerous.
But then Mr. Han called us...
and said he found a hospital where he could get his surgery done.
And that is Taesan, I presume.
Yes, I was against it,
but my father wanted to get surgery even if he wouldn't survive it.
And you're telling me that the surgery might've gone wrong?
Yes.
He shouldn't have gotten the surgery to begin with.
Professor Choi said the same thing.
Pardon?
I met with the professor after the surgery.
Professor, how is my father?
I'm sorry.
I should have saved him no matter what.
My father...
knew it was dangerous going into the surgery.
I wanted to save him.
If he didn't get surgery,
he would've been alive now.
He shouldn't have gotten the surgery.
What is going on?
Is there something I don't know about my father's death?
This isn't confirmed yet.
But someone may have had your father...
receive surgery unreasonably.
Who?
Probably...
someone he was the closest to.
(Assemblyman Han Min Sik Confirms Candidacy)
Hello, Mr. Han. How do you feel?
Good. But you should still take it easy.
Everyone knows you'll win the election.
We'll prepare for the heart transplant.
So, what is it?
I'd like a promise, not just your word.
- A promise? - The pediatric cardiology center.
You don't seem to have started planning it.
So? Are you nervous?
Han Min Sik's heart transplant is in two months.
What's more definitive than my word?
We're in the same boat now.
- Am I wrong? - But we don't know...
where that boat will go.
Where else? It'll go here.
It was hard to get.
It's the wait list for heart transplants.
It would be nice if a heart becomes available on time,
but there's a high probability that it won't.
Look it over and make preparations so that he can get it...
when we need it.
You've done it once before,
so you know better than anyone.
Make the heart transplant a success,
and you can get everything you want.
Professor.
I just met with the sarcoma patient's daughter.
What are you searching for?
The truth.
But I probably can't find it,
since only you know.
If the time comes when you must disclose it,
please tell me.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E28 Heart Surgeons "I Need More Than Just Your Word" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Heart Transplant Wait List)
You've done it once before, so you know better than anyone.
(Heart Transplant Wait List)
Candidate Han Min Sik...
can make it through the primaries with the VAD,
but not the presidential election.
He'll probably get a heart transplant.
The window for surgery...
would be between the primaries and the presidential election.
Professor Choi may have to face another decision then.
Just like back then.
I'm sure that's one thing he won't want to do.
If he wants a heart transplant before the presidential election,
he has two months.
We must convince the professor before then somehow.
I want to help him...
turn back around...
before he goes any farther.
What is it?
We received a notice.
And?
(Notice: Drugs not covered by insurance is prohibited)
How are we supposed to treat the patients then?
Exactly.
Hey, it's bed six.
Ms. Park. Hello?
Call Dr. Park and get an incubator!
Hello?
What?
I'm coming.
What is it?
I need to go see Jin Woo's mother.
Dr. Park.
Professor Son is on his way.
- I'll do it. - Okay.
Laryngoscope.
Endotracheal tube.
Stylet.
Inject it.
Stethoscope.
It went in properly.
- Please, put her on a respirator. - Yes, sir.
Request an ABGA.
Okay.
How is she?
She lost consciousness because her oxygen level was so low.
Anyway,
we need to notify her family that she was put on a respirator.
When is he back?
Jin Woo should be back tomorrow.
Dr. Park.
When Jin Woo comes tomorrow,
they said to send his mother to a sanitorium.
What?
Who did?
The director is looking at every patient.
What?
We couldn't even tell him yet that we couldn't operate on her.
But that's not all.
Her lung function was only half before surgery, so I was nervous,
but I didn't know it would worsen so quickly.
Even if she had a lung problem before,
this happened too soon.
It's unpredictable. What could we do?
We'll have to administer drugs and watch closely overnight.
Please, prepare the drugs I prescribed earlier.
But Professor.
I don't think we should give her that drug.
Why not?
We received a notice not to give drugs not covered by insurance.
What?
They don't want us giving uncovered drugs to people who can't pay.
It isn't just her.
The list of people that were banned from getting uninsured drugs...
are long-term in-patients who need them right away.
Who sent such a notice?
The director, I'm sure.
Bring it. I'll take responsibility.
This isn't our first cut back.
I knew you of all people would say that,
so I brought it already.
I can always count on you.
But there's another problem.
The director...
said to get her out as soon as possible.
Don't give her medicine. Send her away.
How did Taesan end up like this?
(Taesan University Hospital)
We can't take patients who need emergency surgeries anymore?
That's right.
If other hospitals won't take them, we won't either.
If we don't take them, what happens to those people?
Don't you know whose fault this is?
Whose fault is it?
You. You. It's because of you, Woo Jin.
What?
We were told not to take emergency surgeries, but you accepted...
a dissection patient and barged into the OR that was shut down.
How could the Department of Emergency Medicine ignore a patient?
Anyway, that's the order.
Refuse all patients that the paramedics bring.
This came straight from the director.
How could a hospital director do this?
If you don't like it, then you be the director.
- Chief. - What?
I can't do that.
- Then what? - I'll take care of it.
Where are you going?
Why should I stay here if I can't even see emergency patients?
Hey, Woo Jin!
- Hey, Ji Na. - Hey.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi.
It's An Ji Na.
Did I do something wrong?
She's working on her article in our office,
but she glares at me. What's that about?
Come on.
Please be patient, Dr. Koo.
Your face says, "You have no choice. Be patient."
Hey.
- Ji Na. - Yes?
Does Cardiology use many drugs not covered by insurance?
Did you see the notice?
Banning administering drugs not covered by insurance?
Yes.
We have to do what they tell us. There will be many expenses soon.
What do you mean?
Have you not heard?
I think you'd welcome it the most.
The hospital might set up a pediatric cardiology center.
Who said that?
I heard it when Professor Lee was on the phone.
He's about to die out of jealousy.
No way. I don't believe it.
Don't you know the hospital director?
That center will cost a lot of money.
You're right.
He told us not to use medicine on patients who won't bring us money.
It might be bad news for individual patients,
but for Taesan,
it's good news since it's growing as time passes by.
Are you siding with him because it's a cardiology center?
Is it because people from cardiology only use medicine?
They don't have any emotions.
Hey, just looking at you scares me.
What should I do?
Will you keep glaring at me?
I think Taesan changed a lot too.
Nothing ever stays the same.
You know about the order the director gave out, right?
Yes.
If this happened before,
you probably didn't watch it happen.
I would've stopped if I was the old me.
Professor.
Candidate Han Min Sik...
will receive the heart transplant next.
Just like what you did to me,
will you do the same thing to someone else?
It's already hard on you as it is.
I've never met Yoo Bin.
But I know one thing.
That she had the best dad anyone could ask for.
- Tae Soo. - But right now, you are...
You are not the dad...
Yoo Bin remembers you of.
Stop it.
Dr. Yoon told me.
If you make your decision,
she'll help everything to bring things back to how it was before.
I'll help too.
You called me back here...
because you want me to stop you.
Before you go farther,
please come back.
(Taesan University Hospital)
Despite everything, I guess she made it through...
so she could see her son before she goes.
I know.
- Seung Jae. - Yes?
Yes, Seung Jae.
- What? - What is it?
I'm on my way.
What is it?
What? Tae Soo.
What are you doing?
There's nothing we can do for her at this hospital.
Why are we still keeping her here?
That's not true. She just doesn't bring us money. That must be it.
- What? - Dr. Park Tae Soo.
I can't allow her to be transferred without the guardian's consent.
What guardian?
The guardian already...
gave his consent to send her away to a sanitorium.
Pardon?
Jin Woo hasn't...
Her husband stopped by.
Jin Woo said he couldn't get in touch with his dad.
We found him.
She won't last a few days if she's sent to the sanitarium.
She's a lost cause anyway.
What difference does it make if it's today or tomorrow?
The moment doctors give up on patients, they will die.
Distinguishing patients you can save or not is part of your job.
- What happened? - Dad, do something.
Where have you been? And you call yourself a chief?
Well, I had to see my outpatients.
I was going to talk to Jin Woo and send her to a sanitarium...
when he came back.
Until when must I wait for that?
Professor Choi will be...
operating on the CEO of Ilsim Group soon.
I see.
Then shouldn't you empty a bed in the ICU?
Yes, you have a point, but this is a bit...
This concerns the Cardiothoracic Department. Let me smooth this out.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Get her bed out.
Don't.
Dr. Yoon.
Professor Choi's surgery can be postponed.
What do you mean?
After finding out it was Ilsim Group,
you moved up next week's surgery to today.
I checked the schedule.
Is this really necessary?
Yes.
- I must operate today. - Professor Choi.
He's going on a business trip abroad.
I must do it today not to disrupt his schedule.
Is keeping his schedule more important than someone's life?
Sometimes, yes.
Professor Choi.
- What about Mr. Lee? - He'll come down shortly.
What are you doing?
Don't you touch her.
What are you doing?
Jin Woo.
Jin Woo, say hello to your mother.
Okay.
Sir, this is not right.
That's a matter I will decide.
Mom.
I'm back.
Mom.
- It's a cardiac arrest. - Mom.
- Step back. - Mom.
- Hold on, Jin Woo.
Mom.
She'll use Taesan Funeral Hall when she goes, at least.
Professor Koo, call it.
- Pardon? - The patient signed the DNR.
She doesn't want any life-sustaining care.
But still...
Professor Choi, looks like it'll take a while.
You should pronounce the death. Get her out of here.
No, Professor.
Now.
