My dad had been lying on the bed for years.
This isn't the most painful part.
We're the ones who suffered the most.
Do you know how much it cost?
We sold our house.
These hospitals are cheating our money.
Help me record it down. I'm Dr. Xiong, let me have a look.
Doctor, my brother once told me
that if he ever gets into an accident, I shouldn't drag it out.
Just let him go.
The patient's condition is stable.
Stable?
When will my brother wake up?
Help me check the room next door.
We're using a ventilator to sustain his life.
However, it's hard to say when he'll wake up.
You're a doctor. Yet, you don't know when he'll wake up.
You're just dragging things. Are you trying to cheat our money?
In order to save him, our hospital suffered losses.
Why would we cheat you?
Doctor. Didn't you promise that you'd save my brother?
Look at him. He's like a dead person.
You either wake him up now or pull the plug.
Let him die in peace.
He's your brother.
When we decided to put him on life support, as a doctor,
it became my responsibility to keep him alive.
Pulling the plug is a decision neither you nor I could make.
-This concerns the law. -Doctor.
What do you mean?
Look at him yourself.
He's trying hard to wake up.
Why are you giving up?
-That's enough. -Why are you giving up?
He's like a dead person, just lying there.
I feel really sad.
You didn't tell me we can't pull the plug once he's on life support.
Now, he's just lying there. What do you want us to do?
We have our own procedures.
Please respect our professionalism.
See for yourself. His condition is stable for now.
I'm a doctor, I won't allow that to happen.
-You promised me back then... -All of you...
Excuse me, Dr. Xiong. We need you back at the office.
Sorry. As soon as possible.
How is it? What's happening?
The patient is alive. The family wants to pull the plug.
If he's alive, there's a chance he'll wake up.
Whatever will be, will be.
Nothing is certain in this world.
If there's nothing wrong with Dr. Xiong's judgment
and operation procedures,
together with the family's consent, we're on solid grounds legally.
Just let the lawyer handle the rest.
I'm not worried about the legal aspect.
I'm worried about Dr. Xiong's psychological behavior.
Most of the cases that the Trauma Team handle are accidental trauma.
The patients might die anytime.
After this, if there's another case, he might not be able to handle it.
Please guide and help Dr. Xiong.
I'll ask PR to handle the family members.
No problem.
I'll go back then.
-Zheng-xun. -Yes?
Thanks for your hard work.
These two patients can be
-transferred to normal units. -Okay.
I'm sorry.
-Dr. Xiong, are you okay? -I'm fine.
Dr. Hsiao, the family member who caused a ruckus last time
brought a lot of people to find Dr. Xiong.
Go back to the office with Dr. Xiong.
-I'll handle it. -Okay.
I didn't do anything wrong.
-I don't have to avoid them. -You don't have to go.
What's happening?
If you won't let us in, ask him to come out.
Hey! It's this jerk!
We're here to seek justice.
We've already tried our best.
Even with all these people here, your brother will not wake up.
-What did you say? -Sorry. Dr. Xiong.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
I'll ask the hospital's PR
to communicate with you.
Is that all right?
-You're the head, right? -Hello.
Your PR can go to hell!
What are you doing? This is a hospital!
Do you want to fight?
Let's fight!
-What the hell? -Useless doctors!
You promised!
Empty promises!
We're calling the police.
Call if you dare.
He's still alive. Why are you giving up?
Useless doctor!
Don't get angry.
The thing that pissed me off
is not how they treated me.
How could I not understand their feelings?
I'm angry about losing those few minutes.
If I had five more minutes, maybe this patient could be saved.
Did you try your best?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Everyone was in their positions.
Bi-hao, Nana, me. All of us were there.
-I know you did your best. -It's just...
But now he's still in a coma.
Don't comfort me.
Do you know?
When I was born,
I was roughly the size of your palm.
I was a premature baby.
My mom gave birth to me after six months of pregnancy.
At that time, they said I won't make it.
But I met a responsible doctor
just like you.
His surname is Luo.
My entire family is still grateful to him.
At that time, he told my parents
not to give up on me.
He never gave up on me as well.
That's why I'm here today.
The look you had just now reminded me of that doctor.
I feel if you tried your best
in saving a life at that moment,
that would be enough.
The people who are saved
would surely remember you.
Do I still smell bad?
Can't you see I'm holding my breath?
It seems like your mood is even worse than how you smell.
Next, we have news
on the widely circulated video of a fight over conflicting medical views.
Kanglian Hospital's Trauma Team
was outstanding during the recent MRT bombing incident.
Today, in the hospital,
they had a fight with a patient's family.
-That's exaggerating. -Both parties have different views on...
They want to pull the plug while he's alive.
The law doesn't allow such actions. We're blamed for trying to save him.
Tell that to his family.
Zai has really bad luck.
He tried so hard to save him and they threw eggs at him. I'm baffled.
Nana, you're on Zai's side.
Then? Should I be on the unreasonable family members' side?
-We're doctors, not gods. -You're right.
We did our best already.
They have indeed gone too far.
But Zai shouldn't be giving promises and hopes
to the family every time.
At least, he should be more clear.
For example, the chance of saving a person with this condition
is only 50 percent.
Bo-en.
In that critical situation, who has the time
to calculate the chance of saving the person?
If I were there, I would.
Actually, it's not that time-consuming.
According to the Injury Severity Score,
below the age of 45, the total score is around 57.
The mortality rate is more than 50 percent.
He was unconscious, so it's a score of four.
His liver was damaged severely, so it's a score of four.
SEN XIONG
Zoe: Are you okay?
They said you're not working today.
Sen Xiong: I'm fine.
Zoe: Are you scared of breaking the law?
That's why you don't want to pull the plug.
Sen Xiong: This patient didn't sign a do-not-resuscitate order.
We can't simply unplug the machine.
As long as there's a chance,
as a doctor,
I shouldn't give up.
Zoe: Me too. As a journalist,
I won't give up on my story!
Sen Xiong: Never give up!
Lianhe News.
Dingsheng is the agent for anesthesia AM2.
They only paid out 30,000 TWD when someone died.
That's ridiculous.
-Hey, Zoe. Look at this. -Yes?
The clinical trial assistant is
-Dr. Hsien-rong Chen from Lider Hospital. -Okay.
It's the Dr. Chen who was in the accident.
You're right.
That's why...
That's why A-he's mom took the medicine from him.
So, Dr. Chen became everyone's target for revenge.
Am I right?
AUDITED BY HSIEN-RONG CHEN
CLINICAL TRIAL ASSISTANT: DR. HSIEN-RONG CHEN
The car is here.
Let me have another look.
Try to stand up.
I can do it myself.
Dr. Xiong.
Your songs are really nice.
I sent one copy to you. Enjoy it at home.
Thank you, Dr. Xiong. Thank you for everything.
It'll be difficult for you after this. Work hard.
Thank you.
-Check it for me. -Okay.
Dr. Xiong.
Dr. Hsiao said he's making chicken soup since everyone's around.
-Chicken soup? -Yes.
I'm craving chicken soup too.
Since you got hit by eggs,
you need to drink chicken soup to get rid of bad luck.
That's dumb.
-This chicken soup is so delicious. -You're good at cooking.
When I went for my overseas duty,
I made chicken soup for the people there sometimes.
Even if I was far from home,
it made me feel like I'm home.
I felt like I was the lousiest when I joined the Trauma Team.
But after I joined this team, I got to know all of you
and work with you.
It made me feel like a doctor isn't just a doctor.
-It made me feel... -He feels like this is his home.
Yes. All of you are like my parents.
We won't have a child like you.
I'm obedient, okay? I'm the perfect baby!
Bo-en, how old is your daughter?
Let me show you something.
This is my daughter's drawing. She's just three years old.
-That's so cute. -What did she write?
"My dad is a doctor."
That's a stethoscope.
-Your daughter is really good. -This isn't a double chin.
-I thought it was. -I thought it was an elephant.
Why did you drink so much?
Wei-yu, help me cut and wash the vegetables.
Okay.
I think it's better if I just retire.
All these people are callous and cruel.
If only I could be like you,
free and easy.
How great would that be?
Money.
Everything is about money.
You don't have to worry.
I won't spend your money.
Great. I'll retire then!
Who cares about Kanglian's evaluation?
-Who cares about downgrading? -Okay.
You can't have quality without money!
Our daughter is here. Don't talk about all of this.
Gosh.
Just for that NHI's subsidy.
Nobody is good.
We've been going out for the entire week.
Now, you're dragging me to the inauguration ceremony.
Aren't there a lot of people there?
Just borrow some photos from them.
It's different if you're the photographer.
What?
It's just setting up the tripod and taking photographs.
What difference does it make?
Okay, I want to show you something.
But you must keep it a secret.
Am I like that? How could I not tell anyone?
I received this text after the day we followed them.
"The next sinner"?
The next sinner, Dingsheng's inauguration ceremony.
Who sent this to you? How did he have your number?
From my name card.
I gave out a lot of them.
I...
Okay, let's go first.
Isn't this dangerous?
It won't be.
So, did you follow the guy?
I did.
But I lost him after he took a turn.
I don't know how he could walk so fast when he injured his legs.
It's so odd.
What about A-he?
He went into a ten-dollar shop. He bought a lot of stuff
and went fishing at the levee.
After that, my stomach was growling.
So, I bought some bread.
When I came back, he was gone.
How could you rush out and buy bread at that hour?
Look who's talking. You're the same too.
That's enough.
We don't have evidence to prove that the warning is real.
They won't cancel the event.
Let's just act accordingly.
But a lot of people are attending. Who should we watch out for?
Who?
We don't even know what they want to do.
I'll say it first.
Our safety comes first.
I don't need you to tell me that.
-Hello, fellow reporters. -Useless government!
A very warm welcome
-to our inauguration ceremony. -Unscrupulous profiteers!
-I'll introduce the guests of honor. -Today, we ate Dingsheng!
First of all, we have the deputy minister of Ministry of Health and Welfare,
-Wei-yin Wu. -Tomorrow, we need hemodialysis.
Useless government!
-Excuse me. -Next up,
-we have our Dingsheng's chairman. -Excuse me.
Sha-li Ou.
Today, we ate Dingsheng.
-Tomorrow, we need hemodialysis! -Next up, we have a legislator, Da-qi Wan.
-Collusion between officials! -They're both here.
People are dying!
-The secretary from TFDA... -Tomorrow, we need hemodialysis.
Look at how worked up A-he is.
I feel he's going to do something any moment from now.
I don't think so. There are so many people.
How could they set up a bomb?
I'm worried they'll mimic the first bomber and blow themselves up.
-Seriously? -Dr. Ou will now give her speech.
Let's welcome her.
DINGSHENG BIOTECH INAUGURATION CEREMONY
Let's get revenge on Dingsheng!
-Today, we ate Dingsheng! -Thank you, everyone,
-for coming to the inauguration ceremony. -Incompetent government!
-Unscrupulous profiteers! -Dingsheng Biotech will
-focus mainly on investing -That AM2 made me vomit!
-into the research for... -You've gone too far!
Something is happening.
I'll follow A-he. You watch that side.
-Be safe. -Hey, be careful.
-Save my father! -With the greatest members,
we will make even more specialized medicine and...
COLLUSION BETWEEN OFFICIALS! PEOPLE ARE DYING!
Next up, let's invite the representative
from Ministry of Health and Welfare, Mr. Wu.
Let's hear his speech.
I'm really happy to be here today.
Bearing witness to the construction of the best
biological research center in Asia.
The construction of this center signifies the advancement
of Taiwan's biological industry.
We waited 20 years for this moment.
What are you saying?
I told you I'm going all out this time.
Say it again.
Again, okay?
In the future,
the government will provide more funds and put in more effort
to encourage the development of biological technology.
Let's move towards a better future.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Wu.
Please stay on the stage, Mr. Wu.
Next up, we'd like to invite Mr. Wu and Dr. Ou
to officiate the opening ceremony together.
Recently, I read this chapter inside the Bible.
A lady who sinned...
A group of people
captured a married woman who cheated.
Law of Moses states
that she's to be stoned to death.
-"Tell me." -Tell me.
Tell me. What should we do?
"What should we do?"
The eighth chapter of John.
"The eighth chapter of John."
Great.
-You familiarized yourself with the Bible. -The eighth chapter of John.
Our assistants, please bring forward the scissors.
We're about to start the grand opening ceremony.
Chapter five.
Let's hope for great luck for the coming year.
Three, two, one...
LIDER HOSPITAL POSTMORTEM REPORT
Wei-cheng Xiong.
PATIENT: WEI-CHENG XIONG
TOXICOLOGY TEST
DENECA: POSITIVE
Sir, excuse me.
Your car is waiting outside. Please follow me.
Hello, Ms. Shen.
I'm Jian-de.
Hello, Jian-de.
Well,
I have some questions.
What happened to the AM2 self-help group that you told me about last time?
Also,
what's the relationship between AM2 and Wei-cheng?
Do you mean Wei-cheng from the Lider Hospital case?
Yes.
Jian-de, I'm a bit busy now. I'll meet you later.
Hello?
Why didn't you give the report on last week's conference for Dr. Hsiao to sign?
I forgot about it during the morning meeting.
The seal is in there.
We have an emergency news.
The renowned Dingsheng Pharmaceutical Company's site
for its Biological Research Center was bombed.
Reports from on-site revealed that at least 30 people are injured.
Five of them were severely injured.
According to our report,
the bombing happened after the opening ceremony.
Isn't Dingsheng's research center
-nearby our hospital? -Deputy Minister Wu and the chairman
of Dingsheng, Dr. Ou who were present to officiate the event
were unharmed in this bombing incident.
The police ruled out international terrorist groups as suspects.
The identity of the bombers
and their motive are still under investigation.
RADIO BROADCAST SYSTEM
This is the Northern District Command Center.
Thirty minutes ago, Dingsheng's construction site was bombed.
At this moment, the number of victims exceeds 30.
Five are severely injured. Thirty are lightly wounded.
To the nearby hospitals, please stand by.
Hello, it's Kanglian's emergency room.
Yes.
Five patients. Okay.
How long?
Okay, thank you.
Everyone, attention!
The ambulance will arrive within ten minutes.
Prepare to initiate 333.
Sir, at least ten of them will be sent here.
Execute Mass Casualty Incident SOP.
Tell the Trauma Team and the rest to stand by.
Hang on.
-Inform the vice director too. -Okay.
Xiao-yu, prepare the operation room. En-xiu, stand by the ICU.
Prepare to enter trauma room.
Initiate MCI procedures. Give full authority to Dr. Hsiao.
I'll coordinate the rooms and operation rooms.
Delay all the normal operations on patients who aren't
in immediate danger.
Coordinate with the other divisions.
Yes. Tell them it's from me.
If they have any objections, tell them to ask me.
This patient might have inhalation injury and open fracture.
He needs the tube.
-Bi-hao, Dr. Yang. -Okay.
-Dr. Yang. -Excuse me.
Take him inside!
-Dr. Xiong, Dr. Peng! -I'm here, sorry!
Extensive burns.
-Yi-cai! -Yes!
Come! Hurry!
-Help me do trauma triage. -Okay.
-Dr. Wang. How many are coming in? -Somewhere around 30.
-How many to trauma? -Should be more than ten.
Okay, we need nurses. I'll ask Yi-cai to coordinate.
-Okay? -Sure.
Thanks.
The patient might have open tibia fracture.
Scan the left leg.
Dr. Xiong.
Bi-hao, you're better at this. You do it.
Okay. X-ray scan the left leg.
-Three tubes of blood. Four units of PRBC. -Yes.
Ask his family about the time he last ate.
-Yes. -Prepare the operating room.
How much should the IV be?
-100 cc per hour. -Okay.
-Dr. Hsiao.
-Coma victim, SaO2 is at 87%. -Area B. Okay, good.
Burnt area exceeded 60%.
Dr. Yang, extensive burn.
One, two, three.
Sir.
Coma victim needs the tube. Who can assist?
-I'm free. I'll do it. -Intubation!
-Intubation. -Here's the size 7.5 tube.
-Cuff test, done. -Help me.
Doctor!
I'm here.
SaO2 is at 72 percent. Chest pain, inhalation injury.
Dr. Peng. Inhalation injury, chest pain.
SaO2 is at 72 percent.
-I'll contact Burn ICU. -Okay.
Checking pneumothorax.
Subcutaneous emphysema.
-Bo-en, I'm here to help. -Okay.
Now, the SpO2 is at 80%, 83%, 85%,
-91%. -Insert the tube.
His breathing has stabilized. Insert chest tube into his pneumothorax.
I'm counting on you.
I'll ask Zhang to prepare thoracic operating instruments.
DINGSHENG BIOTECH INAUGURATION CEREMONY
TAINTED PAINKILLER POISONED US!
Goodness.
Yong-ping, these photos are horrible. I can't choose any of these.
Of course. I was standing so far away.
That's exactly why I wasn't in the hospital now.
I'm telling you.
Hang on. The one on the tripod was recording a video.
Let's take a look at the screenshots later.
Okay.
I'll send the breaking news first.
Hello, sir.
We're fine.
I want to submit my story.
The incident and profiling of the perpetrator.
Grandpa!
Doctor! My grandpa fainted!
I'm coming.
Excuse me.
-Family members, please wait outside. -Can you hear me?
Sir.
His right calf is bleeding non-stop. Come over please.
-I'll do EUS. -Might be compartment syndrome.
No pulse. I'm doing fasciotomy.
-Someone come help us. -Prepare the operating instruments. Hurry.
Pass me sterile gloves.
Zhang! We need your help here.
I'm going over.
-What's the condition? -Help me prepare gauzes.
I'm doing fasciotomy. I need a lot of gauzes.
-Hurry! -I'll help.
Someone press the AMBU.
Here's a gauze.
The Trauma Team's function now is to consolidate all divisions
so that operations will go on smoothly.
They need everyone's help.
It's impossible for one person to bear all the burden alone.
If you need anything, I'll adjust accordingly.
A&E department will try our best to accommodate.
How could an outsider arrange the scheduling for Division of Surgery?
We should ask Dr. Xie.
-Am I right? -I agree.
I adjusted the chest tube.
But the blood pressure and SaO2 aren't increasing.
Bo-en, is there any bleeding at some other location?
Unequal pupils. He might have ICH.
-Let's do a brain CT now. -Okay.
Let's go.
Hang on. One is enough.
-Dr. Xiong, go help Dr. Yang. -Okay.
Here, be careful.
What's the condition?
This victim has pneumohemothorax.
Going into shock.
I'll insert the chest tube. Give me sterile gloves and 32 Fr.
Help me push the ultrasound out.
Gloves are here.
Scalpel.
Give me Kelly.
-There's a reaction. -Okay, hold it.
Coming.
If we're accepting so many patients,
there'll be problems with the originally planned surgeries.
Director Yang, how do you intend to handle that?
I'll coordinate the rooms and operating rooms.
I'll request Division of General Medicine, Pediatrics,
and Otolaryngology to let out rooms and some nurses to assist.
Of course, Dr. Xie knows the best way to coordinate
the staff of Division of Surgery.
I hope you're willing to help.
Look at the big picture.
Saving people comes first.
The chest tube is still pumping out blood.
One of the great vessels might be bleeding.
Inject IV.
Transfuse six units of PRBC. Prepare for emergency operation.
-I'm setting up the pressure bag. -Okay.
More.
I want normal saline. Increase IV to 1000cc.
Sudden bradycardia. Check pulse.
No pulse. PEA. Begin CPR.
If we were to accept so many patients,
I think it requires cooperation from all divisions.
If our Division of Surgery has enough manpower,
we'll cooperate fully.
Has it been three minutes yet?
-Yes. -One more digoxin.
My goodness, asystole.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, eleven...
One, two, three, four, five, six.
One more!
Why are you standing there?
Hurry!
Zai, it has been more than 30 minutes.
What time is it?
It's 10:11 p.m.
The patient, Jun-hao Zhang, declared dead
at 10:11 p.m. on October 21st.
I promised I'll save him. Believe me.
You promised me back then that you'll save my brother.
I promised your husband will be fine.
Trust me, okay?
There's always a risk
when it comes to surgeries.
I will try my best.
It won't fail.
Dr. Hsiao, here's my report.
For this bombing incident, 31 victims were sent to Kanglian.
Trauma Team received 13 victims.
At this moment, seven are in ICU.
Five are in operation.
Unfortunately, one passed away.
Everyone.
A total of 13 victims were sent here to our Trauma Team.
Unfortunately, one of them passed away.
You did great.
Where's Zai?
There have been many incidents recently.
The renowned Dingsheng Pharmaceutical Company's site
for its Biological Research Center was bombed.
There are at least 30 casualties.
The bombing happened right after the opening ceremony.
Deputy Minister Wu and the chairman of Dingsheng, Dr. Ou
-Your coffee. -who were present to officiate the event
were unharmed in this bombing incident.
The police ruled out
terrorist attack from international bodies.
The identity of the bomber
and their motive are still under investigation.
-Guo. -Yes?
Did you contact the hospital?
Yes. He'll be moved to ICU tomorrow.
Is Dr. Chen still in a coma?
Yes, but they said he's getting better.
Right, sir.
I received this in the morning.
20,000,000 TWD in cash. I will kill your whole family.
Guo.
Didn't I tell you to find the person?
Where is he?
It's okay. Take your time.
Okay.
All I could see was smoke.
I didn't see the explosion with my own eyes.
Let's just transfer the file out, okay?
-I'll edit it later. -Okay, let's do that.
Sir.
What's the relationship between the bombing
and the self-help group?
There should be a connection.
But we're still going through some of the files and details.
Did you discover anything recently?
Yes.
-Zoe received... -I received
a call from Jian-de Yeh.
Yes, I'm going to meet him.
No, didn't you receive...
I'm hungry.
-Are you? -Yes.
Why don't you go buy dinner? I'm hungry as well.
Sir, do you want anything?
Well...
Rou-yi,
what game are you playing?
Didn't I tell you not to do Jian-de's case?
He's not part of the Lider Hospital case.
He's my source for the bombing incidents.
He told me he could give me information regarding AM2.
So, I think since...
This is beyond a journalist's job scope.
Can you leave it to the police?
Can you not...
Sir, someone from District Prosecutors' Office is here for you.
Okay. I'm coming.
Wait for me.
Jian, it has been a while.
-Where's the fax? -It's here.
When did you receive it?
Last week.
Last week?
Why are you telling me now?
You know we...
Let's go to the meeting room, okay?
You know we receive a lot of faxes every day.
I'll be there shortly to update you.
There are certain things we can't say.
Hello, Jian-de.
You're downstairs?
Okay, I'm coming down.
Hello.
Have we met before?
Kanglian Hospital, right?
I saw you at the hospital.
At that time, you were with my friend, a doctor named Zheng-xun.
I saw you wearing the physician robe. You're a doctor, aren't you?
Nice to meet you. I'm his friend. My surname is Yeh.
I'm Sen Xiong.
Sen Xiong?
You're so young.
You are Hsien-rong's doctor.
-Thanks for taking care of him. -I know who you are.
Jian-de Yeh.
Weren't you in prison?
You came out fast enough.
So, you recognize me.
My dad is Wei-cheng Xiong.
Didn't the bomber die already?
Yes.
So, I suspect it's connected to AM2 self-help group.
Let me introduce my new colleague.
I assumed journalists would want to find out the truth.
I hope something bad happens to them.
I'm telling you. Hsien-rong is my old friend.
Don't transfer him to the NHI room. Single room only.
Director Yang, Deputy Minister Wu brought a few men with him.
Now, they are at the hall.
The evaluation committee members are with him too.
Everyone, attention! Car accident victim. Female, 35 years old.
I'm begging you, please save my wife and my child.
-Please, I'm begging you. -Calm down and listen to me.
I should not have left.
I'm sorry.
Fuck you, Ministry of Health and Welfare!
Go to hell, news!
