Dr. Romantic (2016–2023): Season 2, Episode 11 - Minimum Boundaries - full transcript
Min-guk asserts his authority by restructuring the hospital staff. Woo-jin is stunned to learn which surgeon was behind a faulty operation. (Source: Netflix)
Yes, the surgery went on
until late at night today too.
I'm not sure.
I don't know how it'll be this weekend.
What about you?
Really?
Great job.
Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim!
Yes, okay.
I'll call you once I'm in my room. Okay.
Doctor Kim! Goodness, Doctor Kim.
I can't believe this.
What's going on?
Are you all right, Doctor Kim?
-Doctor Kim.
-Doctor Kim!
PROFESSOR SIM HYE-JIN
Yes? What is it?
What? Who just collapsed?
Did I keep you waiting?
Oh, no. I just came out too.
But it looks like we have
another ER patient.
I've got him.
Establish both lines
-and put him on fluid first.
-Got it.
-His vitals?
-110 over 70, 110 bpm.
Temperature is 39.1 degrees.
Give propacetamol through IV.
-Let me look at his FAST.
-Yes, Doctor.
-And give me the suture kit.
-Here's the kit.
What's going on, Mr. Jang?
Another patient?
Nurse Park.
This is bad.
It's Doctor Kim...
What's going on?
Why is he like this?
He must have been hurt
during the accident.
I can't believe he operated
in this condition.
There's no internal bleeding,
so don't worry.
But we never know,
so we'll take an X-ray
after you're done suturing.
All right.
Cut.
Tape, please.
We'll move him. Please get ready.
Yes, Doctor.
It's fine.
-Doctor Kim.
-Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim.
Hey, there's no need to make a fuss.
You don't have to...
take my X-ray either.
But there could be a rib fracture.
You should take one just in case.
If it were that serious,
I would've felt it already.
You can't move around yet.
Stay on the bed.
I'll lie down in my office.
No, don't do that.
I'll take you to the hospital room.
I'll keep my eye on you until tomorrow.
Yes, please do that.
I'm fine. I won't die.
Will you please just listen!
Don't be alarmed.
She's sorting things out right now.
It's not because we think you'll die.
He just wants to check your condition!
You'll be hospitalized for just one day!
Why are you so stubborn?
You're causing a nuisance!
I can manage my own body, Ms. Oh.
You say you can manage yourself,
but why did we find you lying on the floor
of the treatment room like that?
That's because I haven't--
If you were hurt,
you should've told people
that you were hurt,
and then you should've gotten treated!
Do you think you're
the only doctor around here?
Why didn't you do anything like a fool
until you were found in such a condition?
Do you see them?
They're all standing out there
worried about you,
and they can't even go home!
Goodness, I'm fine. What's with you all?
Your doctor will decide
if you are all right or not.
You just have to listen to your doctor
as a patient.
You know very well
that patients who never listen
are annoying and troublesome,
so I won't go on about that.
Please
show a good example
also as a patient, Doctor Kim!
Game over.
As always, Ms. Oh wins.
I'll lie down.
Okay.
Hey, that hurts. Do it slowly.
We'll take him out.
You can go.
Goodness.
He makes our heart drop
every once in a while.
-Let's get back to work.
-Gosh, I'm so relieved.
Ms. Oh.
Are you all right?
So?
How's Bu Yong-ju's condition?
Yes, okay.
Continue. And?

This jerk.
Do you have any other pain
other than the wound I sutured?
That bus rolled over.
Of course my whole body aches.
Don't you think it would?
Any other pain other than your bruises?
None at all.
Doctor Bae.
You said my X-ray looks fine.
Yes, everything looked fine.
How about your hand?
It didn't look well in the OR.
I just had a cramp back then, that's all.
Other than CTS...
do you have any other symptoms?
Your elbows didn't look great last time,
if what I saw was correct.
What do you want to know?
Your current condition.
It's not something GS should worry about.
But still, I'm your doctor right now.
It'll help me to make a diagnosis
if you tell me your symptoms.
Hey, it's pretty late.
You can get back to work.
Doctor Kim.
You said I'm a patient.
Getting a good rest
is always top priority for a patient.
Stop bothering me, and get back to work.
I want to get some rest. Goodness.
Hey. You're all still here?
We need to hear how Doctor Kim is
before we can go home and sleep in peace.
I went out to grab some dinner,
then got a call as soon as I had a bite,
so I had to leave everything
to run back in a hurry.
How's Doctor Kim?
His X-ray looks fine,
and his fever dropped too.
Once his wound is healed,
there shouldn't be a huge problem.
-Goodness.
-What a relief.
I'm so relieved.
But he still needs to get a good rest,
so we should let him do that today.
Yes, let's do that.
He hates it when we make a fuss over him.
He'd be really stressed out
if he knew we were here.
All right.
Then let's all go home quietly.
Sure. Great work today.
-Great work.
-Great job.
-Goodbye.
-Great work.
-Great work.
-Sure.
-Goodbye.
-Let's go.
What does he mean to all of you?
Who?
Doctor Kim.
I began to wonder what he means
and how much he means
to you, to Ms. Oh,
and to everyone at Doldam.
PATIENT: DR. KIM, DOCTOR: SEO WOO-JIN
This is too suffocating.
How's your bed?
Is it comfortable for you?
It's great.
I'll get a good sleep tonight, Ms. Oh.
I'm sorry about earlier.
What?
I shouldn't have done that to you
in front of all those people.
Goodness, it's all right.
What you said was absolutely right.
Doctor Kim, if you collapse,
Doldam Hospital will collapse too.
You know that, don't you?
You'll get a few tests tomorrow morning.
Get a good rest.
Okay.
Goodbye, Ms. Oh.
It's me.
It's about your request.
I'll do it.
I'll go down there tomorrow.
MINIMUM BOUNDARIES
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
Why do I feel so tired and bloated?
Good grief.
I ate all this by myself?
Good morning.
Hey, A-reum. You're here early.
Goodness.
Someone must have had snacks last night.
Exactly.
Why couldn't they at least clean up?
Some people just eat and eat,
and others have to clean up after them.
Isn't that so, A-reum?
-Exactly. Give it here. I'll throw it out.
-No, it's okay.
I can do this much.
Can you open the windows
to let in some fresh air?
-Good morning!
-Hey, good morning.
What?
What is it?
What?
You had snacks last night, didn't you?
No, I didn't eat anything.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It really wasn't me.
I'm on a diet right now!
I turned into Eun-jae the binge eater
from Eun-jae the disciplined.
Look at how puffy my face is.
What am I going to do?
Gosh, if my mom finds out,
she'll panic and slap me so hard.
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
SEO WOO-JIN, CHA EUN-JAE
YANG HO-JUN, ROOM 4
You jerk.
You were hiding in a place like this?
SEO WOO-JIN
Who are you?
Excuse me.
Who are you looking for?
Haven't you heard?
He's known as a whistle-blower.
When Hyun-jun was running the hospital...
Are you Hyun-jun?
-Hello.
-Hello.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Hello.
-Yes, hello.
-Hello.
Was everything okay in the ICU last night?
Woo Jung-tae's saturation dropped
in the middle of the night,
but Doctor Kim got him.
Doctor Kim?
What are you doing here, Doctor Kim?
Hey, you're here.
It's because of Mr. Woo.
His oxygen saturation dropped last night.
You need to watch his ABGA
and perform an oxygen titration test
if needed.
Keep your eye on him.
Hey, Nurse Lee.
How's the CBC analysis for Ms. Jung?
Her hemoglobin went up to 10.1
after the blood transfusion.
But the Hemovac color isn't very good.
How's the volume?
It's not a lot.
If the volume goes up,
please call me right away.
-Yes, sir.
-Keep up the good work.
Please go back to your room.
Hey, my wound is healing well,
my fever is gone, and I feel great.
Why should I?
I told you that I need to run
a few tests today.
My temperature rose a little
after I got hurt and caught a cold.
Why do I need to be examined?
Do you have that much free time?
Move aside.
If you have that much time,
go look after another patient.
Is it because of them?
What do you mean?
The reason why you keep hiding your pain!
It's...
because of the people of Doldam.
You're an integral part of this hospital,
so you're not allowed to be ill.
That's why you keep hiding this,
because you think it'll make them
worried and anxious.
But...
I'm not sure if that's good for you.
And I'm not sure if it's healthy
to have everyone in this hospital
depend solely on you.
Seeing you hiding your pain to live up
to their expectations is honestly...
Honestly what?
Tacky.
In our world, we call it nifty.
In other words--
You need to get diagnosed.
And get treated too.
Okay?
Is Woo-jin ignoring you,
or is he unreachable?
Right, exactly.
I texted and told him to call me
once he comes in,
but he hasn't replied.
Anyway,
why are you here to see him?
Do you know that this is the fourth time
you asked me that question?
Oh, did I do that?
Why? What?
Are you worried that
I'll call him over and harass him?
Goodness, no. I'm not worried.
Anyway, I guess he's running late today.
Why hasn't he replied?
You can call him.
-Right now?
-Yes, now.
Right.
Okay. Then I'll...
give him a call.
Hey, Doctor Seo?
Doctor Seo?
He isn't here right now.
Hey, do you know what time it is?
Where are you now?
I'm in the OR.
What?
You haven't come to work yet?
What do you mean?
You saw me in the staff room just now.
Don't you remember?
Hey, what's wrong with your voice?
Are you ill?
-What? Me?
-What are your symptoms?
You have pain, body aches.
Yes. And you have a fever too?
What's wrong with you? You're scaring me.
Goodness, I see.
Then you probably can't come to work.
Goodness, this isn't good.
Actually, Hyun-jun is here to see you.
Okay. You're ill, so you can't help it.
All right.
I'll let him know instead.
Get a good rest today.
Okay. All right.
What's wrong?
Well, that was Doctor Cha,
-but she was a little weird.
-Doctor Cha?
She went to the staff lounge just now
with a guest who came from Seoul.
Why? What was weird about her?
Woo-jin seems to be ill, Hyun-jun.
Oh, really?
I think he came down with a cold.
On the outside, this hospital
may look quiet and slow,
but that really isn't the case.
We get loads of
emergency trauma patients.
He's had to perform at least
two to three emergency operations a day,
so I guess he's out cold right now.
I'm sorry, Hyun-jun.
What did he say when you said I was here?
Pardon?
-What did he say?
-Right.
Well, first off, he was so glad to hear
that you are here.
And he said it's too bad
and that he's sorry he can't see you.
He said he'll come to see you later.
Yes, that's what he told me to tell you.
He said that?
That it's too bad and he's sorry?
Yes. Yes, of course.
But why do you ask?
Is something wrong?
You must think I'm a joke.
What do you mean?
You think I'm a joke because I'm a nobody.
Goodness, no.
I never thought you were a joke.
Give me your phone.
Why?
You just talked to Woo-jin, didn't you?
I want to call and talk to him myself.
What are you doing? Give it to me.
Gosh.
Gosh, he's not here.
DOCTOR YOON A-REUM
Doctor, there you are.
What is it? An emergency patient?
No. Hurry up and go
to the staff lounge now.
Your call cannot be connected.
Please leave a message--
SEO WOO-JIN
Your call cannot be connected.
Please leave a message--
Hey, Woo-jin.
You said you had a cold.
How did you make it?
What about your fever? Do you feel chilly?
Why did you come here?
Just go. This won't be good.
What are you doing? Go.
You should go.
What are you going to do?
It's okay.
You can go.
Are you okay?
You made a really weird phone call,
so I came because I was worried.
This is bad.
Woo-jin really shouldn't see him.
Why not? Who is that guy?
He's this guy who ran Samjin Hospital.
They used to work there together.
Wait, Samjin Hospital?
I know! It's those two?
I heard Bu Yong-ju got hurt.
He's not in a serious condition.
Did you know that he seems to have CTS?
Yes.
Yet
you didn't even tell me?
I'm a little disappointed.
I thought we were on the same side.
I'm sorry, but I don't
take sides with people.
All I trust is my hands, medical skills,
and my principles.
And I came to find out
that the people of Doldam Hospital
are more talented than I thought.
I'd like to transfer those
great talents to Mirae Hospital.
Do you think that's plausible?
Back then,
you told me to choose one.
What will you choose?
Your livelihood
or pride?
I'm going to start playing that game now.
Nurse Park, what are you doing here?
Why? What's wrong?
It's Doctor Kim.
I'm worried about him.
What if it's because of us,
Ms. Oh?
What do you mean?
The reason why you keep hiding your pain!
It's...
because of the people of Doldam.
You're an integral part of this hospital,
so you're not allowed to be ill.
That's why you keep hiding this,
because you think it'll make them
worried and anxious.
What if that's why he's straining himself?
What should we do?
Hey, Seo-jeong.
Yes.
I just opened up the file
you sent me yesterday.
Yes.
It was an interesting article
on the procedure
for necrotizing mediastinitis.
INFLAMMATION OF CHEST CAVITY
Oh, really?
Then we should be able to see
the progress of the procedure next week.
Yes.
Yes, we're all doing well here.
Everything is going smoothly.
Yes.
Yes, I'm well.
Doctor Yoon Seo-jeong,
you should look after yourself.
Yes, okay. I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
THE ODDBALL PROJECT
Why won't they say anything?
They're making me anxious.
Should we get Mr. Gu, Doctor?
How long has it been since that incident?
Has it been about a year?
A little over nine months.
I see.
I had something to do at this hospital,
then I somehow found out you were here.
I've been wondering how you were doing.
You look better than I thought.
Do I?
Didn't you wonder about me?
How have you been?
Well, I'm ruined.
My license was suspended for three years,
I lost my house because of the loan
I got to open up my hospital,
became a delinquent borrower overnight,
and my wife divorced me.
It must've been tough.
So? Have you been making enough here?
Did you pay off your debt?
Goodness.
Do those scary guys still chase after you?
If you have nothing more to say,
please excuse me.
Should I set you up with a good hospital?
-He's approaching him.
-What is he doing?
Should I go in?
It's nothing much.
I just
hook up good doctors
to good hospitals with good conditions.
That's what I do now.
I'm sort of a recruiter.
I do business with a couple of hospitals
with a lot of money and connections.
You'll get paid at least 1.5 times more.
Of course your salary is negotiable.
However, I'll take 30 percent of
your first year's salary as my incentive.
What do you think?
I'm not interested.
All right, fine. Twenty percent.
A discount only for my juniors.
You should find someone else.
Hey, you jerk.
You're still the same.
You still don't feel bad about
what you did to me.
Isn't that right?
You're still the same too.
You still don't think...
what you did was wrong.
You should get to your business.
STAFF LOUNGE
Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay, Doctor Seo?
-What is this?
-Well, you know.
Just in case.
Yes, I asked him to come just in case.
Your word is my command.
Should I go in and take care of him?
Well, it's all right.
You should get back to work.
Didn't you see my text?
Why did you barge in without warning?
I had it all figured out
and was covering for you.
Anyway, why is Hyun-jun suddenly here?
Did he come here to see you?
How did he know you were here?
I can't believe
he's been holding a grudge for so long.
That was ages ago.
Why did he come all the way here for you?
What in the world did he say to you?
Did he swear at you?
We can report him to the police if he
abused you verbally or threatened you.
Yes, tell me.
I'm here for you.
Do you need a lawyer?
My mom's best friend is one.
Do you want her number?
-Hey, Eun-jae.
-Don't worry about the cost.
I'll ask her for a discount too.
The cheapest, the most inexpensive,
only the basic cost.
If you're still short,
I can lend you money.
Why are you doing this?
It's none of your business.
I heard the rumors too.
Everyone says you're the bad guy
who betrayed him,
but what Hyun-jun did was wrong.
He took bribes to abuse procedures
and used ghost surgeons.
It's too embarrassing
to even call him my senior.
We shouldn't cover for a doctor like him.
I believe doctors should stand up
and ban such doctors from operating.
So don't be too scared, okay?
Not all seniors deserve our respect.
Only show your manners
to those who deserve it, okay?
Okay, I get it.
But why are you so angry over my business?
Goodness, you're so slow.
It's because I'm worried about you!
If...
I say that, would it be too much for you?
In that case, I'm sorry.
It's not too much.
-I see.
-But I'm sure...
I'll stay up a few nights thinking,
"Does she like me or not?"
"Should I wait for her or what?"
I'll do that all alone.
If I say that,
would I be crossing the line again?
How are his vitals?
130 over 80, 125 bpm.
Temperature is at 37.2 degrees.
Give him a liter of normal saline
and a half ampoule of pethidine.
Nurse Park?
Yes, ma'am.
-Sir.
-Yes.
I'll examine you while we prepare the IV.
Roll over on your back, please.
Lift your knees up.
I'll check your abdomen.
Seems you've had surgery before.
What kind of surgery was it?
Last summer,
I had surgery to remove my gallstones.
Did something go wrong with the surgery?
No, I'm sure that's not the case.
Had something gone wrong,
you would've had symptoms right after it.
Let me examine you first.
This looks like pan-peritonitis.
INFLAMMATION IN THE ABDOMEN
Sir, we're going to give you a shot.
Since it's an opioid pain reliever,
dizziness or nausea may occur.
-Tell us if you feel such symptoms.
-Okay.
We'll do an OP lab test after the shot.
Let's take an X-ray right away.
Please relax.
What's going on?
NURSING DEPARTMENT
Okay. I'll get ready right away.
Doctor Yang, just leave everything there
when you're done.
I'll clean up later.
Another ER patient?
Yes, pan-peritonitis
due to ulcer perforation.
I'm done.
Why don't you clean up now?
47-year-old male with pan-peritonitis
due to ulcer perforation.
-His vitals are stable at the moment.
-Underlying conditions?
About five to six months ago,
he had cholecystectomy due to gallstones.
Then there might be a bit of adhesion.
You called Doctor Nam?
Yes, I did.
Doctor Nam isn't coming.
What do you mean?
Doctor Nam isn't coming?
We didn't get a call from him.
Pan-peritonitis due to a perforated ulcer?
I'll be in the OR, Doctor Seo.
Keep that in mind and get ready.
What? Come again?
Doctor Yang.
I'm no longer needed at Doldam Hospital?
Did I hear you correctly?
Yes, you did.
Here you go.
It's from President Park.
And here.
Goodbye then.

The person you're trying to reach...
No, he's not answering.
What if something happened to him?
Shouldn't we tell Doctor Kim?
We'll tell him later.
I'll find out what's going on
after we're done with the surgery.
Let's make sure...
Doctor Kim can take it easy today,
Doctor Yoon.
Sure, no problem.
He'll be okay, right?
Yes, of course.
I'm Sim Hye-jin, an anesthesiologist.
What's your name, sir?
I'm Song Chang-gi.
What's this surgery for?
It's for gastric perforation.
I'll administer the anesthesia now.
This is oxygen.
Please relax. Inhale and exhale deeply.

Hello, Doctor Yang.
You're a little late.
You're so nosy.
Are you keeping track of me?
No, I was just saying hello.
-Where's Woo-jin?
-He's operating on an ER patient.
Another one?
Gosh, we get so many ER patients here.
I told everyone to get ready to welcome
the VIP patients starting today.
Hello, sir.
Sure, I'll head over now.
Yes, sir.
Darn it.
Hey, follow me.
Me? Why?
-I'm not even in General Surgery.
-Fill in for the ones who aren't here.
Why are you playing dumb?
Just do as I say.
Does he have to boss me around like this?
What are you waiting for?
Aren't you coming?
I am. I'm coming. I should, of course.
I really hate myself for being like this.
Thank you for coming here.
You have such a peculiar taste.
Why did you even want to work here?
-Is this an actual hospital?
-Who is he?
I'm not too sure,
but I heard he's the son
of someone very famous.
My gosh, what is that?
Is he the founder of this hospital?
This is a sculpture of Hippocrates.
Oh, right. Hippocrates.
Why did a foreigner come all the way here
to build a hospital?
What? He doesn't know who Hippocrates is?
Hey, you.
I can hear you.
Where should we go?
-Mr. Jang.
-Yes.
It's this way. Please follow me.
Where's Woo-jin?
He's operating on an ER patient.
I want them at the ER station right away.
No problem, sir.
What about the thing I asked you to do?
I gave it to him
first thing in the morning.
Why are you here?
Oh, Doctor Yang asked me to...
Your job is done. You may go.
But you asked me to fill in--
Just go.
What was that about?
I honestly can't stand him.
They'll help you out here from now on.
But the thing is, Ms. Oh is in charge
of delegating the tasks.
You can't take over like this--
I have no choice.
It's President Park's order, so cooperate.
I'll tell Ms. Oh later. Bye then.
-Excuse me.
-Gosh.
What is happening, Doctor Yoon?
I have no idea.
THE ODDBALL PROJECT
It's oddly quiet today.
SURGERY, FAMILY MEDICINE
WE PROVIDE HEART-TO-HEART TREATMENTS
BEWARE OF OPENING DOOR
-Doctor Kim.
-Hey.
What are you doing here?
It's oddly quiet today,
so I came to see what's going on.
By the way, where did everyone go?
We have a patient with pan-peritonitis
caused by a perforated ulcer.
Everyone is probably in the OR now.
We have a pan-peritonitis patient?
How come no one called me?
You're not well.
They all wanted you to rest.
Who are those ladies
at the nurses' station?
Oh, they're the nurses
that President Park brought.
Yes, exactly.
What are they doing here?
I'm not sure.
They must be here for a reason.
When will you get surgery for your CTS?
Let's talk about it some other time.
Don't put it off. Just get it done.
The sooner you recover,
the better it is for us.
You know that.
What?
They even took over the ER station?
Yes, Nurse Um and Nurse Joo
are beside themselves.
And Ms. Oh let that happen?
She's in the OR now,
so she doesn't know about it at all.
They took over while Ms. Oh is in the OR?
Wow, what a calculated move.
And we can't even reach Doctor Nam.
They called him regarding the surgery
but can't get a hold of him now.
Something serious must be going on.
Does Doctor Kim know about all this?
No, Ms. Oh said
we should let him rest today.
Why?
This situation calls for his attention.
But he's hurt, you know.
-Where?
-You didn't know?
He got hurt in the bus crash.
There was a ruckus about it last night.
Where? How bad is it? Is it serious?
No, it's not that bad.
But Ms. Oh and Nurse Park
are very worried.
They're concerned we might burden him.
I see.
I had no idea.
DOCTOR KIM
Hi, Doctor Kim.
What's up?
Oh, that.
Something came up at the pub,
so I couldn't leave.
Yes, of course. Everything's fine.
By the way, how are you feeling?
I heard you're already out and about.
Ms. Oh is very worried about you.
Can you come and talk to her?
She's driving me crazy.
Yes. All right.
Thankfully, the adhesion isn't too bad.
I'll look for the perforation first.
This is from a choledochojejunostomy.
PASSAGE UNITING THE BILE DUCT AND JEJUNUM
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
He said he had a cholecystectomy
because of gallstones.
I think the surgeon touched his CBD
by mistake.
The CBD is connected to the jejunum.
Did they cut it while taking out the GB?
I think so.
Why? Is that a problem?
He said nothing about his bile duct.
Let's just move on, Doctor Seo.
What do you mean?
Maybe he was told about it,
but didn't tell you.
Or...
maybe the operating surgeon hid the truth.
Isn't that what you want to check?
Ms. Oh, please record this for me.
-Nurse Kang.
-Yes, ma'am.
Started recording.
Doctor Seo.
About the pan-peritonitis patient...
Let's just cover it up.
-What?
-The thing about his bile duct.
Let's not tell his family.
Why do you always want to cover things up?
I don't know who operated on him,
but if the doctor didn't tell him,
he or she will be held liable for it.
The doctor should take responsibility.
It's not like he suffered
from an adverse effect.
Keep quiet, and it won't become a problem.
Don't stir things up
and turn it into a problem.
All patients have the right to know
what happened to their bodies.
And it's the doctor's job to inform them.
Will you repeat what you went through
at Samjin Hospital?
Obviously, you'll be the bad guy
and the traitor again.
Just turn a blind eye to it, okay?
Thank you for your concern...
but I'll deal with my problems.
Gosh, that fool.
I don't think you need to worry.
In my opinion...
he's a lot more clearheaded than you are.
Yes. Okay.
I'll come down now.
Something's come up, so I must step out.
Mr. Jang, take good care of Ik-joon
for me.
Of course, sir.
Doctor Yang, come with me.
Yes, sir.
All right. How about I give you
a tour of the wards first?
Before that,
can you tell me that girl's name?
"That girl"?
Who?
BEWARE OF OPENING DOOR
How are things going?
I feel like a bomb is about to go off.
Quiet.
What is going on here?
Can you explain what's going on?
We're here per President Park's orders.
I was never informed of such an order.
Okay?
You should talk to Mr. Heo.
We have nothing more to tell you.
Yes, it is President Park's order.
Even if that is the case,
this is unacceptable.
How dare you bring in new nurses
while I was away from the station
and put them to work without informing me?
I understand why you're upset,
but they won't get in the way
of the doctors or other nurses.
They'll just answer the calls.
They'll answer the calls?
What are you talking about?
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
A man fell from a roof while fixing it.
He fractured his knee.
I'm sorry. Our ER is full at the moment.
Please take him to another hospital.
To another hospital?
Isn't this Doldam Hospital?
Yes, it is.
But we can't accept more ER patients now.
Please take him to another hospital.
What...
That's their job? It makes no sense.
We'll have to operate
on Professor Park's VIP patients,
so you'll have to spend more time
in the OR than the ER.
We're already short-staffed,
and we only have two ORs.
So strategically speaking, we should
accept less trauma patients, right?
Look, Mr. Heo.
Doldam Hospital never
turns away sick or injured people.
And we don't leave them
wandering around the streets.
Over the past few years,
this has never happened.
You'll let all our hard work
and reputation
go down the drain in a flash?
It's President Park's decision, not mine.
You can complain, but nothing
will change in terms of this decision.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Wait.
Are you Park Eun-tak?
Do I know you?
Did the surgery go well?
Yes. How has your day been?
Not bad. I stopped by the ER and...
Hey, what's that?
A recording of the patient's surgery.
He had a cholecystectomy elsewhere.
I think they cut his bile duct by mistake,
so I want to check with the patient.
Gosh, another surgeon buried his mistake.
How shameless and immoral.
But we don't know for certain yet.
All right, good luck. I'm rooting for you.
What is wrong with me?
"I'm rooting for you"? What the heck?
And what's with these fists?
Gosh, I'm mortified.
Hi, Mom.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
What's going on, sir?
I asked his family
without giving away any information.
They know nothing about his bile duct.
Why don't we...
go somewhere quiet and talk?
Nurse Joo. About my patient, Yoo In-seok.
He needs physiotherapy...
Tell him that he has to leave
if he won't receive it.
Okay, got it.
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
We can't accept new patients now. Sorry.
There you are.
What do you want?
You egged Doctor Seo on...
and created a big mess.
What were you going to do with that?
I wanted to inform the patient.
There were no adverse effects,
why would you?
His doctor cut his bile duct by mistake.
And the patient has no idea?
It was tied back seamlessly,
and it won't affect his life.
Let's say you hit someone with your car.
Even if he's alive and well...
it doesn't mean that you can
walk away without even apologizing.
But stirring things up
might hurt an innocent doctor.
Then the doctor should've told him
instead of hiding it from him.
He should've admitted to his mistake
and taken responsibility.
Taken responsibility? How?
Being humiliated in court over and over
to the point where he's mentally
and physically distraught?
Then he'll lose a ton of money...
and won't even be able to face patients.
Is that what you mean?
Doctors, who should be at hospitals,
are dragged to court.
Instead of writing
their medical research papers,
they spend time reading up on the law.
Is that...?
Do you think that makes them
responsible doctors?
So, what then?
You want me to bury it?
I already found out who operated on him.
I will contact them myself and warn them.
What matters is
the doctor's remorse anyway.
This way, we can help them save face.
I think we should deal with this in a way
that can protect the authority of doctors.
So we should cover up for each other
and hide the truth to save our authority?
Is that what you mean?
We live in a world
where people are waiting
to criticize and attack us.
We need to build a fence
that can at least protect us.
And getting rid of rebels like me...
is part of that?
I'm sure you already know...
what it feels like to be kicked out.
You must never repeat the same mistake...
Doctor Seo.
Hand it over.
Now.
I said, hand it over.
How much should I tell them?
Just tell them the truth
and what you saw.
Be consistent, at all times.
No.
I'll hold on to this.
So you know who the surgeon is?
Then tell him to come here
and explain what happened to the patient.
The mistake he made
and the fact that he hid it.
He should explain it.
Hey, Woo-jin.
I will wait until tomorrow evening.
I'll do that much, as his fellow doctor.
Do you know who the surgeon is?
Do I have to know who it is?
I think you should know.
Who is it?
Cha Eun-jae.
My dad is a doctor.
Oh, really?
So are my brother and sister.
Come in.
I bet Park Min-gook is
already sorting out who to get rid of.
I want this person gone.
Why keep putting them
up against each other?
That sly weasel.
For now, we won't accept trauma patients.
Will we have our Fridays back again?
Does covering up for fellow doctors
dignify us as doctors?
Is that your answer?
Why are you just observing the situation?
We might actually lose someone this time.
Can you folks take responsibility
for Seo Woo-jin's future?
I'm sorry, Woo-jin.
until late at night today too.
I'm not sure.
I don't know how it'll be this weekend.
What about you?
Really?
Great job.
Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim!
Yes, okay.
I'll call you once I'm in my room. Okay.
Doctor Kim! Goodness, Doctor Kim.
I can't believe this.
What's going on?
Are you all right, Doctor Kim?
-Doctor Kim.
-Doctor Kim!
PROFESSOR SIM HYE-JIN
Yes? What is it?
What? Who just collapsed?
Did I keep you waiting?
Oh, no. I just came out too.
But it looks like we have
another ER patient.
I've got him.
Establish both lines
-and put him on fluid first.
-Got it.
-His vitals?
-110 over 70, 110 bpm.
Temperature is 39.1 degrees.
Give propacetamol through IV.
-Let me look at his FAST.
-Yes, Doctor.
-And give me the suture kit.
-Here's the kit.
What's going on, Mr. Jang?
Another patient?
Nurse Park.
This is bad.
It's Doctor Kim...
What's going on?
Why is he like this?
He must have been hurt
during the accident.
I can't believe he operated
in this condition.
There's no internal bleeding,
so don't worry.
But we never know,
so we'll take an X-ray
after you're done suturing.
All right.
Cut.
Tape, please.
We'll move him. Please get ready.
Yes, Doctor.
It's fine.
-Doctor Kim.
-Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim.
Doctor Kim.
Hey, there's no need to make a fuss.
You don't have to...
take my X-ray either.
But there could be a rib fracture.
You should take one just in case.
If it were that serious,
I would've felt it already.
You can't move around yet.
Stay on the bed.
I'll lie down in my office.
No, don't do that.
I'll take you to the hospital room.
I'll keep my eye on you until tomorrow.
Yes, please do that.
I'm fine. I won't die.
Will you please just listen!
Don't be alarmed.
She's sorting things out right now.
It's not because we think you'll die.
He just wants to check your condition!
You'll be hospitalized for just one day!
Why are you so stubborn?
You're causing a nuisance!
I can manage my own body, Ms. Oh.
You say you can manage yourself,
but why did we find you lying on the floor
of the treatment room like that?
That's because I haven't--
If you were hurt,
you should've told people
that you were hurt,
and then you should've gotten treated!
Do you think you're
the only doctor around here?
Why didn't you do anything like a fool
until you were found in such a condition?
Do you see them?
They're all standing out there
worried about you,
and they can't even go home!
Goodness, I'm fine. What's with you all?
Your doctor will decide
if you are all right or not.
You just have to listen to your doctor
as a patient.
You know very well
that patients who never listen
are annoying and troublesome,
so I won't go on about that.
Please
show a good example
also as a patient, Doctor Kim!
Game over.
As always, Ms. Oh wins.
I'll lie down.
Okay.
Hey, that hurts. Do it slowly.
We'll take him out.
You can go.
Goodness.
He makes our heart drop
every once in a while.
-Let's get back to work.
-Gosh, I'm so relieved.
Ms. Oh.
Are you all right?
So?
How's Bu Yong-ju's condition?
Yes, okay.
Continue. And?

This jerk.
Do you have any other pain
other than the wound I sutured?
That bus rolled over.
Of course my whole body aches.
Don't you think it would?
Any other pain other than your bruises?
None at all.
Doctor Bae.
You said my X-ray looks fine.
Yes, everything looked fine.
How about your hand?
It didn't look well in the OR.
I just had a cramp back then, that's all.
Other than CTS...
do you have any other symptoms?
Your elbows didn't look great last time,
if what I saw was correct.
What do you want to know?
Your current condition.
It's not something GS should worry about.
But still, I'm your doctor right now.
It'll help me to make a diagnosis
if you tell me your symptoms.
Hey, it's pretty late.
You can get back to work.
Doctor Kim.
You said I'm a patient.
Getting a good rest
is always top priority for a patient.
Stop bothering me, and get back to work.
I want to get some rest. Goodness.
Hey. You're all still here?
We need to hear how Doctor Kim is
before we can go home and sleep in peace.
I went out to grab some dinner,
then got a call as soon as I had a bite,
so I had to leave everything
to run back in a hurry.
How's Doctor Kim?
His X-ray looks fine,
and his fever dropped too.
Once his wound is healed,
there shouldn't be a huge problem.
-Goodness.
-What a relief.
I'm so relieved.
But he still needs to get a good rest,
so we should let him do that today.
Yes, let's do that.
He hates it when we make a fuss over him.
He'd be really stressed out
if he knew we were here.
All right.
Then let's all go home quietly.
Sure. Great work today.
-Great work.
-Great job.
-Goodbye.
-Great work.
-Great work.
-Sure.
-Goodbye.
-Let's go.
What does he mean to all of you?
Who?
Doctor Kim.
I began to wonder what he means
and how much he means
to you, to Ms. Oh,
and to everyone at Doldam.
PATIENT: DR. KIM, DOCTOR: SEO WOO-JIN
This is too suffocating.
How's your bed?
Is it comfortable for you?
It's great.
I'll get a good sleep tonight, Ms. Oh.
I'm sorry about earlier.
What?
I shouldn't have done that to you
in front of all those people.
Goodness, it's all right.
What you said was absolutely right.
Doctor Kim, if you collapse,
Doldam Hospital will collapse too.
You know that, don't you?
You'll get a few tests tomorrow morning.
Get a good rest.
Okay.
Goodbye, Ms. Oh.
It's me.
It's about your request.
I'll do it.
I'll go down there tomorrow.

Why do I feel so tired and bloated?
Good grief.
I ate all this by myself?
Good morning.
Hey, A-reum. You're here early.
Goodness.
Someone must have had snacks last night.
Exactly.
Why couldn't they at least clean up?
Some people just eat and eat,
and others have to clean up after them.
Isn't that so, A-reum?
-Exactly. Give it here. I'll throw it out.
-No, it's okay.
I can do this much.
Can you open the windows
to let in some fresh air?
-Good morning!
-Hey, good morning.
What?
What is it?
What?
You had snacks last night, didn't you?
No, I didn't eat anything.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It really wasn't me.
I'm on a diet right now!
I turned into Eun-jae the binge eater
from Eun-jae the disciplined.
Look at how puffy my face is.
What am I going to do?
Gosh, if my mom finds out,
she'll panic and slap me so hard.

You jerk.
You were hiding in a place like this?
SEO WOO-JIN
Who are you?
Excuse me.
Who are you looking for?
Haven't you heard?
He's known as a whistle-blower.
When Hyun-jun was running the hospital...
Are you Hyun-jun?
-Hello.
-Hello.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Hello.
-Yes, hello.
-Hello.
Was everything okay in the ICU last night?
Woo Jung-tae's saturation dropped
in the middle of the night,
but Doctor Kim got him.
Doctor Kim?
What are you doing here, Doctor Kim?
Hey, you're here.
It's because of Mr. Woo.
His oxygen saturation dropped last night.
You need to watch his ABGA
and perform an oxygen titration test
if needed.
Keep your eye on him.
Hey, Nurse Lee.
How's the CBC analysis for Ms. Jung?
Her hemoglobin went up to 10.1
after the blood transfusion.
But the Hemovac color isn't very good.
How's the volume?
It's not a lot.
If the volume goes up,
please call me right away.
-Yes, sir.
-Keep up the good work.
Please go back to your room.
Hey, my wound is healing well,
my fever is gone, and I feel great.
Why should I?
I told you that I need to run
a few tests today.
My temperature rose a little
after I got hurt and caught a cold.
Why do I need to be examined?
Do you have that much free time?
Move aside.
If you have that much time,
go look after another patient.
Is it because of them?
What do you mean?
The reason why you keep hiding your pain!
It's...
because of the people of Doldam.
You're an integral part of this hospital,
so you're not allowed to be ill.
That's why you keep hiding this,
because you think it'll make them
worried and anxious.
But...
I'm not sure if that's good for you.
And I'm not sure if it's healthy
to have everyone in this hospital
depend solely on you.
Seeing you hiding your pain to live up
to their expectations is honestly...
Honestly what?
Tacky.
In our world, we call it nifty.
In other words--
You need to get diagnosed.
And get treated too.
Okay?
Is Woo-jin ignoring you,
or is he unreachable?
Right, exactly.
I texted and told him to call me
once he comes in,
but he hasn't replied.
Anyway,
why are you here to see him?
Do you know that this is the fourth time
you asked me that question?
Oh, did I do that?
Why? What?
Are you worried that
I'll call him over and harass him?
Goodness, no. I'm not worried.
Anyway, I guess he's running late today.
Why hasn't he replied?
You can call him.
-Right now?
-Yes, now.
Right.
Okay. Then I'll...
give him a call.
Hey, Doctor Seo?
Doctor Seo?
He isn't here right now.
Hey, do you know what time it is?
Where are you now?
I'm in the OR.
What?
You haven't come to work yet?
What do you mean?
You saw me in the staff room just now.
Don't you remember?
Hey, what's wrong with your voice?
Are you ill?
-What? Me?
-What are your symptoms?
You have pain, body aches.
Yes. And you have a fever too?
What's wrong with you? You're scaring me.
Goodness, I see.
Then you probably can't come to work.
Goodness, this isn't good.
Actually, Hyun-jun is here to see you.
Okay. You're ill, so you can't help it.
All right.
I'll let him know instead.
Get a good rest today.
Okay. All right.
What's wrong?
Well, that was Doctor Cha,
-but she was a little weird.
-Doctor Cha?
She went to the staff lounge just now
with a guest who came from Seoul.
Why? What was weird about her?
Woo-jin seems to be ill, Hyun-jun.
Oh, really?
I think he came down with a cold.
On the outside, this hospital
may look quiet and slow,
but that really isn't the case.
We get loads of
emergency trauma patients.
He's had to perform at least
two to three emergency operations a day,
so I guess he's out cold right now.
I'm sorry, Hyun-jun.
What did he say when you said I was here?
Pardon?
-What did he say?
-Right.
Well, first off, he was so glad to hear
that you are here.
And he said it's too bad
and that he's sorry he can't see you.
He said he'll come to see you later.
Yes, that's what he told me to tell you.
He said that?
That it's too bad and he's sorry?
Yes. Yes, of course.
But why do you ask?
Is something wrong?
You must think I'm a joke.
What do you mean?
You think I'm a joke because I'm a nobody.
Goodness, no.
I never thought you were a joke.
Give me your phone.
Why?
You just talked to Woo-jin, didn't you?
I want to call and talk to him myself.
What are you doing? Give it to me.
Gosh.
Gosh, he's not here.
DOCTOR YOON A-REUM
Doctor, there you are.
What is it? An emergency patient?
No. Hurry up and go
to the staff lounge now.
Your call cannot be connected.
Please leave a message--
SEO WOO-JIN
Your call cannot be connected.
Please leave a message--
Hey, Woo-jin.
You said you had a cold.
How did you make it?
What about your fever? Do you feel chilly?
Why did you come here?
Just go. This won't be good.
What are you doing? Go.
You should go.
What are you going to do?
It's okay.
You can go.
Are you okay?
You made a really weird phone call,
so I came because I was worried.
This is bad.
Woo-jin really shouldn't see him.
Why not? Who is that guy?
He's this guy who ran Samjin Hospital.
They used to work there together.
Wait, Samjin Hospital?
I know! It's those two?
I heard Bu Yong-ju got hurt.
He's not in a serious condition.
Did you know that he seems to have CTS?
Yes.
Yet
you didn't even tell me?
I'm a little disappointed.
I thought we were on the same side.
I'm sorry, but I don't
take sides with people.
All I trust is my hands, medical skills,
and my principles.
And I came to find out
that the people of Doldam Hospital
are more talented than I thought.
I'd like to transfer those
great talents to Mirae Hospital.
Do you think that's plausible?
Back then,
you told me to choose one.
What will you choose?
Your livelihood
or pride?
I'm going to start playing that game now.
Nurse Park, what are you doing here?
Why? What's wrong?
It's Doctor Kim.
I'm worried about him.
What if it's because of us,
Ms. Oh?
What do you mean?
The reason why you keep hiding your pain!
It's...
because of the people of Doldam.
You're an integral part of this hospital,
so you're not allowed to be ill.
That's why you keep hiding this,
because you think it'll make them
worried and anxious.
What if that's why he's straining himself?
What should we do?
Hey, Seo-jeong.
Yes.
I just opened up the file
you sent me yesterday.
Yes.
It was an interesting article
on the procedure
for necrotizing mediastinitis.
INFLAMMATION OF CHEST CAVITY
Oh, really?
Then we should be able to see
the progress of the procedure next week.
Yes.
Yes, we're all doing well here.
Everything is going smoothly.
Yes.
Yes, I'm well.
Doctor Yoon Seo-jeong,
you should look after yourself.
Yes, okay. I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
THE ODDBALL PROJECT
Why won't they say anything?
They're making me anxious.
Should we get Mr. Gu, Doctor?
How long has it been since that incident?
Has it been about a year?
A little over nine months.
I see.
I had something to do at this hospital,
then I somehow found out you were here.
I've been wondering how you were doing.
You look better than I thought.
Do I?
Didn't you wonder about me?
How have you been?
Well, I'm ruined.
My license was suspended for three years,
I lost my house because of the loan
I got to open up my hospital,
became a delinquent borrower overnight,
and my wife divorced me.
It must've been tough.
So? Have you been making enough here?
Did you pay off your debt?
Goodness.
Do those scary guys still chase after you?
If you have nothing more to say,
please excuse me.
Should I set you up with a good hospital?
-He's approaching him.
-What is he doing?
Should I go in?
It's nothing much.
I just
hook up good doctors
to good hospitals with good conditions.
That's what I do now.
I'm sort of a recruiter.
I do business with a couple of hospitals
with a lot of money and connections.
You'll get paid at least 1.5 times more.
Of course your salary is negotiable.
However, I'll take 30 percent of
your first year's salary as my incentive.
What do you think?
I'm not interested.
All right, fine. Twenty percent.
A discount only for my juniors.
You should find someone else.
Hey, you jerk.
You're still the same.
You still don't feel bad about
what you did to me.
Isn't that right?
You're still the same too.
You still don't think...
what you did was wrong.
You should get to your business.
STAFF LOUNGE
Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay, Doctor Seo?
-What is this?
-Well, you know.
Just in case.
Yes, I asked him to come just in case.
Your word is my command.
Should I go in and take care of him?
Well, it's all right.
You should get back to work.
Didn't you see my text?
Why did you barge in without warning?
I had it all figured out
and was covering for you.
Anyway, why is Hyun-jun suddenly here?
Did he come here to see you?
How did he know you were here?
I can't believe
he's been holding a grudge for so long.
That was ages ago.
Why did he come all the way here for you?
What in the world did he say to you?
Did he swear at you?
We can report him to the police if he
abused you verbally or threatened you.
Yes, tell me.
I'm here for you.
Do you need a lawyer?
My mom's best friend is one.
Do you want her number?
-Hey, Eun-jae.
-Don't worry about the cost.
I'll ask her for a discount too.
The cheapest, the most inexpensive,
only the basic cost.
If you're still short,
I can lend you money.
Why are you doing this?
It's none of your business.
I heard the rumors too.
Everyone says you're the bad guy
who betrayed him,
but what Hyun-jun did was wrong.
He took bribes to abuse procedures
and used ghost surgeons.
It's too embarrassing
to even call him my senior.
We shouldn't cover for a doctor like him.
I believe doctors should stand up
and ban such doctors from operating.
So don't be too scared, okay?
Not all seniors deserve our respect.
Only show your manners
to those who deserve it, okay?
Okay, I get it.
But why are you so angry over my business?
Goodness, you're so slow.
It's because I'm worried about you!
If...
I say that, would it be too much for you?
In that case, I'm sorry.
It's not too much.
-I see.
-But I'm sure...
I'll stay up a few nights thinking,
"Does she like me or not?"
"Should I wait for her or what?"
I'll do that all alone.
If I say that,
would I be crossing the line again?
How are his vitals?
130 over 80, 125 bpm.
Temperature is at 37.2 degrees.
Give him a liter of normal saline
and a half ampoule of pethidine.
Nurse Park?
Yes, ma'am.
-Sir.
-Yes.
I'll examine you while we prepare the IV.
Roll over on your back, please.
Lift your knees up.
I'll check your abdomen.
Seems you've had surgery before.
What kind of surgery was it?
Last summer,
I had surgery to remove my gallstones.
Did something go wrong with the surgery?
No, I'm sure that's not the case.
Had something gone wrong,
you would've had symptoms right after it.
Let me examine you first.
This looks like pan-peritonitis.
INFLAMMATION IN THE ABDOMEN
Sir, we're going to give you a shot.
Since it's an opioid pain reliever,
dizziness or nausea may occur.
-Tell us if you feel such symptoms.
-Okay.
We'll do an OP lab test after the shot.
Let's take an X-ray right away.
Please relax.
What's going on?
NURSING DEPARTMENT
Okay. I'll get ready right away.
Doctor Yang, just leave everything there
when you're done.
I'll clean up later.
Another ER patient?
Yes, pan-peritonitis
due to ulcer perforation.
I'm done.
Why don't you clean up now?
47-year-old male with pan-peritonitis
due to ulcer perforation.
-His vitals are stable at the moment.
-Underlying conditions?
About five to six months ago,
he had cholecystectomy due to gallstones.
Then there might be a bit of adhesion.
You called Doctor Nam?
Yes, I did.
Doctor Nam isn't coming.
What do you mean?
Doctor Nam isn't coming?
We didn't get a call from him.
Pan-peritonitis due to a perforated ulcer?
I'll be in the OR, Doctor Seo.
Keep that in mind and get ready.
What? Come again?
Doctor Yang.
I'm no longer needed at Doldam Hospital?
Did I hear you correctly?
Yes, you did.
Here you go.
It's from President Park.
And here.
Goodbye then.

Doctor Nam isn't picking up?
The person you're trying to reach...
No, he's not answering.
What if something happened to him?
Shouldn't we tell Doctor Kim?
We'll tell him later.
I'll find out what's going on
after we're done with the surgery.
Let's make sure...
Doctor Kim can take it easy today,
Doctor Yoon.
Sure, no problem.
He'll be okay, right?
Yes, of course.
I'm Sim Hye-jin, an anesthesiologist.
What's your name, sir?
I'm Song Chang-gi.
What's this surgery for?
It's for gastric perforation.
I'll administer the anesthesia now.
This is oxygen.
Please relax. Inhale and exhale deeply.
TERMINATION OF CONTRACT
A 47-year-old male with pan-peritonitis
due to ulcer perforation.
May I begin the surgery?
Yes, get started.
Scalpel.
Forceps.
Bovie.
Hello, Doctor Yang.
You're a little late.
You're so nosy.
Are you keeping track of me?
No, I was just saying hello.
-Where's Woo-jin?
-He's operating on an ER patient.
Another one?
Gosh, we get so many ER patients here.
I told everyone to get ready to welcome
the VIP patients starting today.
Hello, sir.
Sure, I'll head over now.
Yes, sir.
Darn it.
Hey, follow me.
Me? Why?
-I'm not even in General Surgery.
-Fill in for the ones who aren't here.
Why are you playing dumb?
Just do as I say.
Does he have to boss me around like this?
What are you waiting for?
Aren't you coming?
I am. I'm coming. I should, of course.
I really hate myself for being like this.
Thank you for coming here.
You have such a peculiar taste.
Why did you even want to work here?
-Is this an actual hospital?
-Who is he?
I'm not too sure,
but I heard he's the son
of someone very famous.
My gosh, what is that?
Is he the founder of this hospital?
This is a sculpture of Hippocrates.
Oh, right. Hippocrates.
Why did a foreigner come all the way here
to build a hospital?
What? He doesn't know who Hippocrates is?
Hey, you.
I can hear you.
Where should we go?
-Mr. Jang.
-Yes.
It's this way. Please follow me.
Where's Woo-jin?
He's operating on an ER patient.
I want them at the ER station right away.
No problem, sir.
What about the thing I asked you to do?
I gave it to him
first thing in the morning.
Why are you here?
Oh, Doctor Yang asked me to...
Your job is done. You may go.
But you asked me to fill in--
Just go.
What was that about?
I honestly can't stand him.
They'll help you out here from now on.
But the thing is, Ms. Oh is in charge
of delegating the tasks.
You can't take over like this--
I have no choice.
It's President Park's order, so cooperate.
I'll tell Ms. Oh later. Bye then.
-Excuse me.
-Gosh.
What is happening, Doctor Yoon?
I have no idea.
THE ODDBALL PROJECT
It's oddly quiet today.

BEWARE OF OPENING DOOR
-Doctor Kim.
-Hey.
What are you doing here?
It's oddly quiet today,
so I came to see what's going on.
By the way, where did everyone go?
We have a patient with pan-peritonitis
caused by a perforated ulcer.
Everyone is probably in the OR now.
We have a pan-peritonitis patient?
How come no one called me?
You're not well.
They all wanted you to rest.
Who are those ladies
at the nurses' station?
Oh, they're the nurses
that President Park brought.
Yes, exactly.
What are they doing here?
I'm not sure.
They must be here for a reason.
When will you get surgery for your CTS?
Let's talk about it some other time.
Don't put it off. Just get it done.
The sooner you recover,
the better it is for us.
You know that.
What?
They even took over the ER station?
Yes, Nurse Um and Nurse Joo
are beside themselves.
And Ms. Oh let that happen?
She's in the OR now,
so she doesn't know about it at all.
They took over while Ms. Oh is in the OR?
Wow, what a calculated move.
And we can't even reach Doctor Nam.
They called him regarding the surgery
but can't get a hold of him now.
Something serious must be going on.
Does Doctor Kim know about all this?
No, Ms. Oh said
we should let him rest today.
Why?
This situation calls for his attention.
But he's hurt, you know.
-Where?
-You didn't know?
He got hurt in the bus crash.
There was a ruckus about it last night.
Where? How bad is it? Is it serious?
No, it's not that bad.
But Ms. Oh and Nurse Park
are very worried.
They're concerned we might burden him.
I see.
I had no idea.
DOCTOR KIM
Hi, Doctor Kim.
What's up?
Oh, that.
Something came up at the pub,
so I couldn't leave.
Yes, of course. Everything's fine.
By the way, how are you feeling?
I heard you're already out and about.
Ms. Oh is very worried about you.
Can you come and talk to her?
She's driving me crazy.
Yes. All right.
Thankfully, the adhesion isn't too bad.
I'll look for the perforation first.
This is from a choledochojejunostomy.
PASSAGE UNITING THE BILE DUCT AND JEJUNUM
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
He said he had a cholecystectomy
because of gallstones.
I think the surgeon touched his CBD
by mistake.
The CBD is connected to the jejunum.
Did they cut it while taking out the GB?
I think so.
Why? Is that a problem?
He said nothing about his bile duct.
Let's just move on, Doctor Seo.
What do you mean?
Maybe he was told about it,
but didn't tell you.
Or...
maybe the operating surgeon hid the truth.
Isn't that what you want to check?
Ms. Oh, please record this for me.
-Nurse Kang.
-Yes, ma'am.
Started recording.
Doctor Seo.
About the pan-peritonitis patient...
Let's just cover it up.
-What?
-The thing about his bile duct.
Let's not tell his family.
Why do you always want to cover things up?
I don't know who operated on him,
but if the doctor didn't tell him,
he or she will be held liable for it.
The doctor should take responsibility.
It's not like he suffered
from an adverse effect.
Keep quiet, and it won't become a problem.
Don't stir things up
and turn it into a problem.
All patients have the right to know
what happened to their bodies.
And it's the doctor's job to inform them.
Will you repeat what you went through
at Samjin Hospital?
Obviously, you'll be the bad guy
and the traitor again.
Just turn a blind eye to it, okay?
Thank you for your concern...
but I'll deal with my problems.
Gosh, that fool.
I don't think you need to worry.
In my opinion...
he's a lot more clearheaded than you are.
Yes. Okay.
I'll come down now.
Something's come up, so I must step out.
Mr. Jang, take good care of Ik-joon
for me.
Of course, sir.
Doctor Yang, come with me.
Yes, sir.
All right. How about I give you
a tour of the wards first?
Before that,
can you tell me that girl's name?
"That girl"?
Who?
BEWARE OF OPENING DOOR
How are things going?
I feel like a bomb is about to go off.
Quiet.
What is going on here?
Can you explain what's going on?
We're here per President Park's orders.
I was never informed of such an order.
Okay?
You should talk to Mr. Heo.
We have nothing more to tell you.
Yes, it is President Park's order.
Even if that is the case,
this is unacceptable.
How dare you bring in new nurses
while I was away from the station
and put them to work without informing me?
I understand why you're upset,
but they won't get in the way
of the doctors or other nurses.
They'll just answer the calls.
They'll answer the calls?
What are you talking about?
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
A man fell from a roof while fixing it.
He fractured his knee.
I'm sorry. Our ER is full at the moment.
Please take him to another hospital.
To another hospital?
Isn't this Doldam Hospital?
Yes, it is.
But we can't accept more ER patients now.
Please take him to another hospital.
What...
That's their job? It makes no sense.
We'll have to operate
on Professor Park's VIP patients,
so you'll have to spend more time
in the OR than the ER.
We're already short-staffed,
and we only have two ORs.
So strategically speaking, we should
accept less trauma patients, right?
Look, Mr. Heo.
Doldam Hospital never
turns away sick or injured people.
And we don't leave them
wandering around the streets.
Over the past few years,
this has never happened.
You'll let all our hard work
and reputation
go down the drain in a flash?
It's President Park's decision, not mine.
You can complain, but nothing
will change in terms of this decision.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Wait.
Are you Park Eun-tak?
Do I know you?
Did the surgery go well?
Yes. How has your day been?
Not bad. I stopped by the ER and...
Hey, what's that?
A recording of the patient's surgery.
He had a cholecystectomy elsewhere.
I think they cut his bile duct by mistake,
so I want to check with the patient.
Gosh, another surgeon buried his mistake.
How shameless and immoral.
But we don't know for certain yet.
All right, good luck. I'm rooting for you.
What is wrong with me?
"I'm rooting for you"? What the heck?
And what's with these fists?
Gosh, I'm mortified.
Hi, Mom.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
What's going on, sir?
I asked his family
without giving away any information.
They know nothing about his bile duct.
Why don't we...
go somewhere quiet and talk?
Nurse Joo. About my patient, Yoo In-seok.
He needs physiotherapy...
Tell him that he has to leave
if he won't receive it.
Okay, got it.
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
We can't accept new patients now. Sorry.
There you are.
What do you want?
You egged Doctor Seo on...
and created a big mess.
What were you going to do with that?
I wanted to inform the patient.
There were no adverse effects,
why would you?
His doctor cut his bile duct by mistake.
And the patient has no idea?
It was tied back seamlessly,
and it won't affect his life.
Let's say you hit someone with your car.
Even if he's alive and well...
it doesn't mean that you can
walk away without even apologizing.
But stirring things up
might hurt an innocent doctor.
Then the doctor should've told him
instead of hiding it from him.
He should've admitted to his mistake
and taken responsibility.
Taken responsibility? How?
Being humiliated in court over and over
to the point where he's mentally
and physically distraught?
Then he'll lose a ton of money...
and won't even be able to face patients.
Is that what you mean?
Doctors, who should be at hospitals,
are dragged to court.
Instead of writing
their medical research papers,
they spend time reading up on the law.
Is that...?
Do you think that makes them
responsible doctors?
So, what then?
You want me to bury it?
I already found out who operated on him.
I will contact them myself and warn them.
What matters is
the doctor's remorse anyway.
This way, we can help them save face.
I think we should deal with this in a way
that can protect the authority of doctors.
So we should cover up for each other
and hide the truth to save our authority?
Is that what you mean?
We live in a world
where people are waiting
to criticize and attack us.
We need to build a fence
that can at least protect us.
And getting rid of rebels like me...
is part of that?
I'm sure you already know...
what it feels like to be kicked out.
You must never repeat the same mistake...
Doctor Seo.
Hand it over.
Now.
I said, hand it over.
How much should I tell them?
Just tell them the truth
and what you saw.
Be consistent, at all times.
No.
I'll hold on to this.
So you know who the surgeon is?
Then tell him to come here
and explain what happened to the patient.
The mistake he made
and the fact that he hid it.
He should explain it.
Hey, Woo-jin.
I will wait until tomorrow evening.
I'll do that much, as his fellow doctor.
Do you know who the surgeon is?
Do I have to know who it is?
I think you should know.
Who is it?
Cha Eun-jae.
My dad is a doctor.
Oh, really?
So are my brother and sister.
Come in.
I bet Park Min-gook is
already sorting out who to get rid of.
I want this person gone.
Why keep putting them
up against each other?
That sly weasel.
For now, we won't accept trauma patients.
Will we have our Fridays back again?
Does covering up for fellow doctors
dignify us as doctors?
Is that your answer?
Why are you just observing the situation?
We might actually lose someone this time.
Can you folks take responsibility
for Seo Woo-jin's future?
I'm sorry, Woo-jin.
