Jian-de, how have you been?
You just saw me two weeks ago.
I'm doing well.
I've gained some weight.
That's good.
Jian-de.
You're getting out in a few weeks.
Have you thought about what you're going to do?
Do you need me to do anything for you?
Maybe talk to some people?
Don't worry. I'll get by.
By the way, a journalist came to see me recently.
And?
And I...
Never mind. I just wanted to let you know.
Did you have something to tell me?
You're getting out soon.
We'll talk about it then.
See you later.
We'll hold meetings every Monday and Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m.
Please remember to come.
Also, please give your schedules to Yi-cai.
You can come to me for anything, but I also expect you to cooperate.
Welcome to the Trauma Team.
That's all.
Okay.
So, all the doctors from the two bomb attack surgeries are here.
We're so unlucky!
No, Dr. Xiong is not on the trauma team.
Don't you think it's weird?
The Thoracic Department is crucial for a trauma team.
But we have no thoracic surgeons.
-Isn't that weird? -Yes.
I thought it would be Dr. Xiong. Something is fishy.
He probably has connections.
Dr. Xiong, why aren't you on the trauma team?
What's going on?
Yes, why aren't you on the team?
Do you have some kind of privilege?
Not everyone is like you, always looking forward to clocking out.
If you're so curious about that, why don't you go ask Dr. Hsiao?
What are you so mad about? Do you think you're so awesome?
He's in a bad mood.
In the file, you can see how many patients Kanglian Hospital took in
and how each patient is doing.
It's all written on there.
Please take a look.
With the experience of taking in so many patients at once,
Kanglian Hospital has established a trauma team.
These patients will be taken care of by this team.
If possible, please promote this for us.
That punk, Dr. Xiong, was a big hit.
Can we interview him?
There's no value in news like that. Let's leave that in the past.
All our doctors work very hard.
Tiny outbursts are inevitable.
Maybe we don't have to follow up on that.
He's very popular in the live house circle.
Even if I don't follow up on it, other people will.
Netizens like new and fresh stuff.
If you write some heartwarming stories about us,
that should do the trick.
If you want me to write about individual cases of Kanglian Hospital,
could you arrange interviews with patients and their family members?
Okay, I can do that.
By the way, there are rumors that Kanglian Hospital is about to be downgraded.
They sound real.
Have you heard anything about it?
Did Mr. Zhu set up the trauma team just for the evaluations?
No. We had planned to start a trauma team.
There are always a lot of rumors before the evaluations.
Some say that Kanglian Hospital is closing down,
the board is being reorganized and what not.
As long as they don't cut my salary, it's fine.
Miss, excuse me.
I'd like to know
which room Mr. Liu, the amputation patient, is staying in?
Are you his family member?
I'm his friend. I said I'd come see him today.
Rou-yi.
Hello, Dr. Xiong.
You're here again.
Don't tell her anything.
She's a paparazzi. She's lying to get her scoop.
I really am here to see my friend. A journalist can see her friend, right?
I'm going to have to ask you to leave. If you don't, I'll call the security.
You're not busy today, are you?
If she wasn't his daughter, she would never be the deputy director.
And now she's telling us how to spend the money?
Dr. Xie, we will only listen to you.
Yes, what was Mr. Zhu thinking by appointing his daughter?
What is he trying to do?
I don't really care about personnel appointments by the board.
But I am curious how the deputy director is going to handle Kanglian Hospital.
With me leading the Surgery Department, I won't let her interfere with our budget.
Go ahead now.
-I need to talk to Dr. An. -Okay.
Hey.
So the amputation patient, Jia-lun Liu...
His surgery was very successful.
Good work.
We will need you to keep it up.
It's not just about the evaluation. The media is focusing on it as well.
No problem.
By the way, didn't Dr. An
from the thoracic department recommend Dr. Xiong?
What do you think?
Dr. Xiong has excellent skills, but he has an attitude problem.
If you don't want him, let me know.
-I'll get a contract doctor. -I'll decide soon.
See you.
By the way...
What?
That's my thermos.
-Sorry. -Don't worry about it.
Mr. Liu, how are you feeling today?
Let me take your temperature.
Here.
How long has he been coughing?
Mr. Liu, how long have you had this cough?
Do you feel sick?
Right, he did say
that he had a headache.
He wanted to get some medicine for it.
But, Dr. Xu said that we need to observe him a few more days.
Take a deep breath.
Dr. Xiao, the director said that the Orthopedics Department
should work with you,
because you dealt with these patients first-hand.
If you need anything, just let us know. We can learn from each other.
You're too kind. Thank you, Dr. Xu.
Hello, Dr. Xu.
This patient has a light cough.
His eyelid is drooping and he has a headache.
I think it might be SVC syndrome.
Didn't we run all the tests?
Hi, Mr. Liu. I'm Dr. Hsiao from the Anesthesiology Department.
I'd like to give you a checkup.
So you have a cough.
Do you feel swelling in your neck and face?
Not really?
His X-ray and chest ultrasound looked fine.
Okay.
Take a deep breath.
-Dr. Hsiao. -Yes.
If you're worried, we could do another X-ray.
-Well... -We've already done the X-ray,
so I think we should...
We've already done an X-ray, so we should do a CT scan now.
CT scan?
Are you in charge of the budget?
Wait until you get promoted to a director.
Do another X-ray.
Yi-cai, put him on 2l per minute of oxygen through the nasal cannula.
Keep me updated.
Okay, no problem.
Dr. Xiong.
I think you should do the CT scan.
After looking at Jia-lun Liu's CT scan, in my opinion,
the main issue is that his SVC syndrome symptoms are appearing very quickly
and he is also showing symptoms of tachypnea.
The possibility of a hematoma forming due to traumatic bleeding
pressing on his respiratory tract is higher than a tumor.
SVC syndrome is 90% likely to be cancer.
Unless there is serious respiratory distress or brain hypertension,
if we perform surgery
and discover that it's a tumor instead of a hematoma,
then it would be a waste of time.
According to his clinical symptoms,
I strongly believe that it's a hematoma causing the SVC syndrome.
Also,
the Thoracic Department has done this surgery before.
I have the responsibility to make the correct diagnosis for this patient.
Dr. Xiong.
Are you accusing the Orthopedics Department of making the wrong diagnosis?
This is Orthopedics Department and the Trauma Team's patient.
You're not a part of the Trauma Team.
It's not really your business.
I'm sorry, Dr. Xu.
Since the patient is being transferred to the Trauma Team,
let's have Dr. Hsiao make the decision.
Hello, this is the Trauma Team.
Okay. I understand.
Dr. Hsiao, Jia-lun Liu is in respiratory distress.
Dr. Yang, have someone from the Oncology Department come over.
-Okay. -Thank you, Dr. Xu.
-Yes. -Dr. Dagun, come with me.
How is he doing?
O2 is 85 percent, heart rate 125. BP 95 over 60.
His face and neck are turning purple. There is swelling in the torso.
It's a hematoma. He needs surgery immediately.
Ru-fen, get the resuscitator. I'm doing awake fiber optic intubation.
-Move the bed. -We're moving the bed.
Here.
-Artificial Manual Breathing Unit. -I'll do it.
Yi-cai, prepare the operation room.
Dr. Dagun, you and Dr. Yang will assist. We're going in now.
Okay.
But we don't have a thoracic surgeon on the Trauma Team.
I can help.
Okay. You do it.
I'll notify the operation room to prepare a room for chest surgery.
I read the report downstairs.
His hemoglobin dropped from 11 to 7g/dl in one day.
I agree that it's a hematoma.
The patient is being taken care of by the new trauma team.
The head of the team is the doctor who amputated the patient,
Dr. Hsiao.
If you're interested, I can arrange an interview.
You hired Dr. Hsiao as the head of the team?
We need a professional team to provide our patients with the best care.
Hey.
I really went all out
to get the patients and family members to agree to the interview.
It'd be great if you could write
a positive article to encourage the hospital staff.
Don't worry about it.
You didn't pick the interviewees randomly, did you?
I gave you this scoop
so that you could help promote the new trauma team.
You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Follow me, please, to room 6D.
Mrs. Liu, please sign the surgery consent form.
Why did you just find the hematoma now?
Did you miss it because the machine was broken?
The hematoma started forming after he was hospitalized.
So we didn't find it when he got hurt. This is normal.
I promise your husband will be fine. Please trust me.
Dr. Xiong.
So, this is a minor surgery
just to clear out the hematoma?
Yes, it's a minor surgery.
I promise you, he'll be fine after we're done.
I need to go prepare now.
Please sign here.
-Elevate the table. -Okay.
That's good.
Retractor.
Adjust the tidal volume to 300ml.
The retractor has been placed.
Spread it wider.
Found the hematoma.
So it was a hematoma.
Be careful. It's right near the phrenic nerve.
Board.
BP is dropping.
Hematocrit is at 18 percent.
Whole blood.
Use packed RBC, then FFP if that's not enough.
No, we need to use whole blood.
It helps with clotting and increases blood volume.
So, four units of whole blood?
Never mind, just use packed red blood cells. I'll be done soon.
Packed red blood cells are here. Please confirm.
I found the bleeding point.
Scissors.
Suction.
Lung re-expansion. Check bleeding.
Close the wound.
Okay.
Dr. Yang, you close it.
Dr. Xiong, good work.
The surgery was successful.
I just want to tell you something.
I want to remind you
that no surgery is risk-free.
You made a promise to his family member, but what if we failed?
What would we say to them?
I do everything I can to make it successful. I can't fail.
It's not just about success and failure.
Knowing how to use resources is also very important.
If you just perform surgeries well, then you're a technician, not a doctor.
Good work. Get some rest.
In this era, doctors can't even save you
The pyramid structure has been destroyed
The price is listed at the door
How many need to be sacrificed Before we have a perfect system?
This is happening right now
Doctors save patients But who saves the hospitals?
The more surgeries, the less doctors make Only the bosses are happy
Conscience is what Makes the hospital lose money
Problems are everywhere
Hospitals turn into battlefields
Ethics are important But connections are more so
If you mess with your seniors You'll get put in the corner
If you don't want to be a victim Just keep your mouth shut
How do we survive in this vicious cycle?
This nightmare of a profession Is no longer celebrated.
Anesthesia has lost its effect But we need to get through this storm
Keep our chins up and save lives
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
-Fight! -Fight!
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
-Fight! -Fight!
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
Fight!
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
Fight!
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
Fight!
What?
You think I put drugs in it?
I can't drink.
You were pretty worked up on stage. I thought you could relax a bit.
Are you crazy? I'm going back to the hospital later.
You're going back to the hospital?
You were just criticizing them. I thought you wouldn't go back.
What do you know?
Drink your beer.
If every director were Dr. Hsiao, I'd have left for good.
Zheng-xun Hsiao?
I thought you got along?
What? We got along?
Well, you're wrong.
He thinks he's awesome because he's been abroad.
He called me a technician.
All he cares about is cutting costs in the operation room.
He doesn't care about the patient. Is that what a good doctor should be like?
Right?
Was the surgery successful?
He got lucky. The patient's condition wasn't that serious.
Then, that makes sense.
If this case wasn't that serious,
you should save those resources for the people who need it the most.
I think a doctor who cares about the budget
isn't necessarily doing it for the money.
What were you filming down there?
That's a secret.
-Dr. Hsiao. -Hey.
Dr. Xiong.
I got one extra cup.
Thanks.
I understand what you mean now.
Today in the operation room,
if I accidentally wasted the trauma team's resources,
it would have been my fault.
If any cuts are made,
I'll take the responsibility.
It's Trauma Team's patient. I'll cover it.
Packed red blood cells and whole blood are pretty much the same.
There's no right or wrong.
But resources are limited.
Blood is a limited resource and I want to make good use of it.
That's what I meant.
I'm getting old now. I won't be able to sleep if I drink this.
You can drink it.
Okay? Thanks.
Dr. Xiong, you perform at live houses?
Yes.
That's pretty cool.
Good night.
Ms. Shen.
I'm back!
I know.
Does your tooth still hurt?
-You can't tell? -Well...
It sounds pretty serious.
Could you get up and let me rest?
Wait, I'm just looking up some stuff. My computer is broken.
Maybe you should sit at the editor-in-chief's desk from now on.
I'm sitting here right now.
Ms. Shen, we're having a meeting soon. Can you prepare the material?
Fine.
Just leave that link there.
Two Doctors Suspended Due to Lider Hospital's Scandal
HEALTH CENTER OF LIOUJIA DISTRICT, TAINAN CITY
Are you sure he'll talk to you?
I don't know. We'll see.
-I'd like to make an appointment. -Is this your first time here?
-Yes. -Please fill in this form.
I'll need your health insurance card and 80 TWD.
-I'll fill it out over there. -All right.
Rou-yi Shen.
You can go in now.
-Zoe, don't forget to record everything. -As if I need a reminder.
Next.
Ms. Shen, what seems to be the problem?
Director Chen.
I'm Rou-yi Shen from Wake Up Times.
I've sent a few emails to you
and called you to arrange an interview.
But you refused.
Do you remember?
I remember you.
Don't call me Director Chen.
I haven't been a director for many years now.
You probably remember my response.
I refuse to be interviewed.
Thank you.
-Next. -Dr. Chen.
You must know I have a good reason.
I'm working on an article about hospital scandals.
I know that in the current medical environment,
patients are not the only victim.
Doctors are too.
I want to find the people involved and discover the truth.
The truth?
I don't even know the truth.
What can I tell you?
Back then, you decided not to take in Wei-cheng Xiong.
How can you not know the truth?
That was a long time ago.
There are a lot of new cases.
Why are you digging up the past?
Dr. Chen.
I know that incident had a profound impact on you.
You paid a price.
Even the fact that you're working here now has something to do with that incident.
I hope that I can hear your side of the story
since you're one of the main characters.
You can't just look at the results.
Sometimes,
during the process,
uncontrollable and unmanageable things happen.
I don't really understand.
Can you explain it to me?
If you ask a person standing on an iceberg
to tell you exactly how big the iceberg is,
he won't be able to answer you.
Ms. Shen.
Maybe later on, when I understand the whole thing,
I'll contact you.
That's all for today. Thank you.
That's all right.
I'll wait for your call.
He probably didn't want to be interviewed and made up an excuse.
But he looked sincere.
It didn't seem like an excuse.
This incident is more complicated than we think.
It'll be fun.
Right, so much fun.
HEALTH CENTER OF LIOUJIA DISTRICT, TAINAN CITY
-We'll follow up next week. -Okay.
-Li-zhen. -Dr. Hsiao.
You're making rounds yourself today?
No one on the team was free, so I came and did it myself.
Where's Jia-lun Liu?
-He's in the rehabilitation room. -Okay, thank you.
No problem.
You can do this.
Can I stop now?
Sure. Sit for a bit.
Why don't you take a break?
Are you not used to it yet?
It hurts.
That's why you should move more. It won't hurt after your leg adjusts.
I only have one leg left.
What am I going to do?
Why did you save me?
You should have let me die there.
Because I'm a doctor.
All I do is save lives.
This is my life.
I just got married.
We were going to have a baby this year.
Now, my wife is the sole breadwinner.
What are we going to do?
Having family is something to be grateful about.
I didn't have any family after I turned 17 years old.
Do you know how important it is to your wife that you're still alive?
You should try to stand up for your wife.
As long as you're alive, you'll find a way.
Don't give up.
Try again.
Here.
Get up.
Three, two, one.
Steady yourself first.
Are Feng-rong Jiang's blood and urine tests done yet?
He just came in yesterday. They probably aren't ready yet.
-Can you check for me? -Sure.
Wow, isn't it awesome that you're the star of our hospital now?
-Star? -Haven't you seen the news yet?
You're very popular now.
Go take a look. I'm sure you're going to be famous.
Yes, I am going to be famous.
As a fan, you're going to buy 50 records, right?
Dream on.
This is Wake Up Times.
A Beacon in the Dark, A Rapper Surgeon Hero
On the day of the MRT explosion, everything was dark.
The life of Jia-lun Liu,
whose leg was amputated, completely changed.
He lost his leg and almost lost his life.
Fortunately, a beacon shone upon him and came to his rescue in the dark.
With determination and skill, he saved Jia-lun Liu twice.
His name is Sen Xiong.
During the day, he's a surgeon.
And at night, he turns into a rapper who has thousands of fans.
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
-Fight! -Fight!
It's hard to break habits
What we need is reformation
Say bye to those idiots
-Fight! -Fight!
In this era, doctors can't even save you
On the stage, Dr. Xiong is an energetic rapper.
At the hospital, he's a caring doctor.
Dr. Xiong is very nice.
When I go back to my family's house, he keeps my husband company.
I'm very grateful.
She took this with her phone?
Get up.
You're eating at my desk again.
That's a good piece you have there.
-Good film editing. -Thanks.
Is it because of love?
Psycho.
Psycho?
Out of all the doctors, you decided to focus on him.
It's my scoop.
You must have a different perspective, so that the viewers will be drawn in.
That's what you think.
You admire him.
"Rapper surgeon hero"?
Mr. Du will be so mad at you.
This is objective reporting.
That's a journalist's job.
-Is that so? -Yes.
I'm just going to say...
It's all about love
You're so annoying.
Zai: Ms. Shen, I'm Dr. Xiong. Can we talk sometime?
What an immature person.
Dr. Hsiao, have you made a decision on our thoracic surgeon?
If we keep stalling, our shift arrangements will...
I've made a decision.
I've discussed everything with Dr. An.
-So, it's one of our colleagues? -Yes.
Dr. An.
Our hospital star from the Thoracic Department is here.
Dr. An, don't make fun of me.
Dr. Hsiao just called. He wants you on Trauma Team.
Dr. An.
-Dr. Hsiao. -Hello.
Please take care of Dr. Xiong for me.
Of course.
Dr. Xiong, do you want to go see Jia-lun Liu?
Hi, Zoe.
I was wrong about the punk doctor article. I apologize.
I let you pick a restaurant and you picked a very expensive one.
I know I'm a doctor, but this meal is quite expensive.
If you keep whining, I'll order more food.
So? How is the Trauma Team?
How did you know?
Of course, I know. I have spies.
Pretty much the same as usual.
I wanted to be on the Trauma Team anyway.
You're weird.
The Trauma Team doesn't pay more, but you will be working more.
And those patients might even sue you.
Other people try to get out of it, but why do you want in?
When I was in high school, my dad said he was going out one night.
He had to deliver a document to his supervisor or something.
That's not the point, but...
He never came back.
He was in a car accident.
He had trauma injuries all over.
The ambulance went to multiple hospitals. Every one of them rejected him.
He was kicked around like a ball.
It was too late, so he died in the ambulance.
Looking back,
I keep thinking that if there was a trauma team back then,
maybe my dad wouldn't have died.
That's why I became a doctor and why I want to be on the Trauma Team.
I think I saw an article on the incident you just mentioned.
So, you...
How did you deal with it?
Did you live on your own?
I worked my way through school.
I also have an uncle in the States who...
Wait, you're interviewing me.
You got me.
You can interview me.
But we'll schedule another time.
And I can find a restaurant for you to buy me dinner.
You're making 30 million times more than I am and I have to buy you dinner?
What? 30 million is exaggerating.
I recently read an article
about the top ten jobs of toil.
Do you know where journalists rank?
Not even in the top ten.
What?
Journalists ranked third.
-What about doctors? -Second.
And the first place...
WAKE UP TIMES
Then, why did you drop out and become a journalist?
I wanted to become a doctor too.
But I only got into the department of pharmacy.
I saw the article on Wake Up Times regarding the hospital scandal.
And I thought the medical world is so dark.
They were hiring, so I got in.
I've been there for five years now.
Five years is nothing. Medical school is seven years.
Our editor-in-chief wrote the article on your dad's accident.
Really?
Being a journalist is a lot different from being a doctor, isn't it?
Not really. They're just different professions.
They're actually similar in many ways.
They must work with people.
Sometimes, I think
every field has its dark secrets.
I don't know how long I can do this.
Why?
Aren't you a determined person?
I'm determined?
As if you really know me that well. Didn't you even forget my name?
I just forgot that one time.
I remember you from the sports event.
Back then,
-I was in my junior year and... -Excuse me. It's something from work.
-Let's meet up some other time? -Okay.
I'll call you.
-Okay. Bye. -Bye.
Imperfect Self-Defense and Negligent Assault Scandal Dual Eruption
Mr. Editor-in-chief, you got the wrong target for the news.
I am well alive and the sinner will remain to be judged.
You'll never be forgiven.
Dr. Chen: I'll bring Jian-de Yeh to you for an interview.
DR. CHEN
Dr. Chen? I'm Ms. Shen. I got your text message.
This is the ambulance driver. Do you know Mr. Chen?
He's unconscious now. We're sending him to Kanglian Hospital.
-Could you be there to... -Okay.
-Clear the way! -PR says we can't take him.
That's up to me, not PR.
You go prepare. Say it was my order.
Send him in. Hurry!
Bradycardia. Stand still.
How is that possible?
Trauma caused by a car accident shouldn't cause stupor.
Start CPR.
Last time I saw him was five years ago.
I never thought the next time I'd see him would be in a OR.
The MOHW will be cutting two medical centers
and three local hospitals.
Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to help you.
Mr. Du, who sent you this?
I don't think these are separate cases.
They might be a series of terrorist attacks.
We already told the police.
Some of us even got hurt.
Why would we do that if we set off the bomb?
Give me your number. I'll call you. You'll pick up, right?
