Dr. Romantic (2016–2023): Season 2, Episode 4 - Utilizing Conflict - full transcript

Do you…

ALPRAZOLAM

have to go into that OR?

Yes. I do.

-Who did you say is coming in?
-Dr. Seo.

He was the first assistant
during the first surgery,

so it'll be helpful to have him around.

-He told me to tell you that.
-Dr. Bu Yong-ju said that?

Doctor Kim did.

That's how we address him
here at Doldam Hospital.

So go get ready, will you?



How much do I tell them?

-What?
-You didn't…

You didn't take a CT before going
into the OR,

and the intercostal vessel process
was odd too.

They'll nitpick over everything
if I tell them.

-And?
-Then won't you get in trouble?

Why are you worried if I get into trouble?

I don't want to be involved in a hassle.

I want to make sure I don't have to take
any responsibility for this.

Goodness.

You're one consistent kid.

I was the surgeon in charge,
so I'll take full responsibility.

Just focus on the surgery, okay?

Make sure you answer
everything the surgeon asks.



I mean, as is?

Yes, as is. According to all the facts.
Whatever you have seen.

You can be consistent
and tell him everything as is.

TREATMENT ROOM 3, TREATMENT ROOM 2

Okay.

I can do it.

It's okay.

Someone else is joining us to help us out.

There he is.

Seo Woo-jin?

What's going on?

What do you think?

He betrayed you
so that he could snatch the opportunity.

This punk is a pro at stabbing others
in the back, you know.

All right. Let's begin the surgery.

Let's begin.

Scalpel.

Scalpel.

OPERATING ROOM 1

OPERATING ROOM 2

RESTRICTED AREA: OPERATING ROOM

That scumbag.

UTILIZING CONFLICT

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Good day, sir.

Thank you. Goodbye.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE

Excuse me.

He's in surgery again.

President Yeo. How may I help you?

Oh, did you watch the news?

I didn't call because you were on leave.

Oh, I see.

I am currently by the operating rooms.

In OR one, doctors from Geosan

are performing the second surgery
on Minister Ryu.

Doctor Kim is in OR two,

operating on the minister's secretary.

Both rooms are filled with tension.

It feels as if we will see
two master swordsmen

having a showdown.

We'll check for bleeding in the abdomen

and remove the gauze packed in there.

Ms. Oh, hand me more. Large tape.

Keep the tape coming.

He's bleeding more than I expected.

BLEEDING: HEMORRHAGE

Retractors.

Right angle forceps.

Gosh, that looks really neat.

How much did he bleed
during the first surgery?

We used 30 packs of RBC
and 20 packs of FFP.

That much?

He had been taking aspirin.

-It wasn't easy to control the bleeding.
-He really is an expert, isn't he?

I can't believe he managed to do this.

It looks like you won't have
a lot to do, Professor Park.

I saw on the record that there was
bleeding from an intercostal vessel.

We controlled the hemoperitoneum,

but his chest cavity still gave out
800 ml of blood.

After we changed his position,
we found bleeding from the intercostal.

What about the CT scan?

He didn't check before?

He's asking you a question.
Didn't he check the CT scan?

Forget the CT scan.

Send him to the OR immediately.

You'll open him up without a CT scan?

With trauma patients,
it's all about saving time.

If you stick to the procedure,
you won't be able to save him.

He was in critical condition,

-and his blood pressure didn't look good.
-Wait.

You didn't even take it?

No.

Are you insane?

You opened him up without a CT scan?

As I told you,
the patient's condition was failing.

And in times like these,

he said we must do damage control
for trauma patients.

Yes, so…

how did he control the bleeding on
an intercostal vessel without a CT scan?

It was all based on
your gut instinct and luck.

If that was all you could see,

it means you're not any better after all.

What's wrong?

Can you not answer that?

No.

-It's not that.
-Then what?

Did he bribe you?

How much are you getting
for keeping your mouth shut?

All right, Mr. Jang.

Call me as soon as it's over.

Yes.

-Goodness.
-Gosh. I'm sorry.

-Are you all right?
-I'm fine.

-Are you a new doctor here?
-How did you know?

Are you a regular at this hospital?

-Which department are you looking for?
-Oh, I'm the president of this--

Oh, are you the president's patient?

What?

Gosh, I'm sorry.

-The president is apparently on leave.
-No, I'm--

One second, sir.

What?

Let's see…

It's busy here with this crowd,
so do you want to come to the ER?

I'm actually an ER resident.

I see.

And on top of that,
I'm a bit free right now.

Let me take a look at you.

-Come this way.
-Let's do that.

Excuse me, coming through.

-I'm so worried.
-Sorry. Excuse me.

-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.

What's going on?

Dr. Cha?

Dr. Cha? Dr. Cha? Are you ill?

I wasn't sleeping.

What?

No, I wasn't asleep.

Oh, I'm completely all right.

Yes, this is Bae Moon-jung.

I see. All right.

I'll head over right now. All right.

-Hey, where are you going?
-There's a rib fracture patient.

A rib fracture patient?

Then I… I'll go.

I'll go.

I'll do it. I'll go.

Nurse Um, the president's patient came,
and I said I'd take a look at him.

Can you check his temperature and BP?
Bed number two, please.

The president's patient?

Who could it be?

Goodness.

Goodness. Oh, my gosh.

He bumped into a cultivator
and has pain in his right chest.

Goodness.

Dr. Cha.

Oh, yes?

But… But why did you call an OS doctor?

You should call a CS for a rib fracture.

What?

I looked at the FAST,

but he wasn't bleeding,

the oxygen level looked fine,
and he had no other organ damage.

I've been taking care
of simple rib fracture cases, Dr. Cha.

My gosh, man.

Please stop using honorifics on me,
Moon-jung.

You can speak casually to me.

Okay, I'll do that over time.

It takes me a while
to get close to someone.

You can't do that to me though.

I even joined the Bone Club
because of you.

Don't you remember?
Look at my delicate phalanx.

PHALANX: FINGER BONES

"Your mid phalanx and distal phalanx
are especially beautiful.

It's a perfect hand for a surgeon."

You told me that.

Don't you remember?

So, what now?

What about the patient, Dr. Cha?

We need to take a CT scan first.

If he has any internal bleeding,
he might need surgery.

What? Do I need surgery?

No, sir.

It's not that you need one, sir.

You may look fine right now,
but you might suddenly bleed, sir.

Bleed? What?

Is my condition that serious?

No, sir.

That may be the case,

so we need to take a CT scan to check.

Take her away.

-Oh, yes. Hey.
-Dr. Jung!

Why do you keep cutting me off?

We have the responsibility and duty

to explain all possible scenarios
to patients.

That way, we have something to say
even if they sue us.

We get betrayed by patients all the time.

Dr. Bae?

Dr. Cha, we need to talk.

Am I wrong, Moon-jung?

Of course, you're right.
Right. Let's turn this way.

Okay. This way.

Call me when you have the CT scan.

Let's grab a cup of coffee then.

Goodness, Mother.

I saw my late mother in my dream
last night.

Goodness, no.

Darn it.

Oh, no. Mother.

-Let's take him for a CT scan.
-Goodness, Mother.

Who am I talking to?

Dr. Yoon! Nurse Um!

What?

What's wrong?

Do you know him too?

Yes, of course.

I know him very well.

I see.

Wow, you must be a regular.

You even know Nurse Um.

I've been coming here for ages.

-I see.
-Quiet.

Let me take a listen.

It might be a bit cold.

Please take a deep breath in.

And breathe out.

Please take another deep breath in.

And breathe out.

What?

Look.

What's this?

Doctor Kim. It's a message from Mr. Jang.

They found green-colored gauze
in the minister's abdomen.

His bile must be leaking.

Right angle forceps.

Okay. His splenic artery is under control.

Scissors.

Tie it up.

Clip.

It's bile peritonitis.

His bile duct must be damaged.

-Irrigation.
-Suction.

There's no leakage.

It's still tied up well.

Open up the cystic duct again
with a trans cystic biliary drain.

We'll use that to find out
where the bile leakage is.

Scalpel.

-What are you doing?
-I'm sorry.

-I must have touched the clip.
-Tape.

Keep pressing down.

-Keep going.
-Tape.

His blood pressure is dropping.

There must be more bleeding.

Bring more blood.

Is something wrong?

I'm not sure.

I'm a little worried too.

After all, he's not Doctor Kim.

Bovie.

Can you hold this a little?

Forceps.

Found it.

It started bleeding in the hepatic artery
as the clip was detached. Forceps.

Clip.

Stick.

One more.

Okay.

He's at 90 over 50.

Dr. Yang, are you out of your mind?

I'm sorry.

His intestines are quite swollen.

We probably can't suture him like this.

What will you do?

I heard Lee Joo-young is your brother.

Yes.

The surgery went very well.

We will move him to the ICU
and watch him for a couple of days.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

For your information,
the minister wasn't sutured up.

I'm not sure,

but I think one of his staff members
made a mistake and caused bleeding.

Dr. Yoon.

Nurse Um.

There's a patient who's--

-President Yeo.
-What?

What brings you here?
You're on leave until this week.

You're the president?

I saw the news
and got here a little early.

How do I look, Nurse Um?

Your temperature is normal,
and your blood pressure is a bit high,

-but it's within the normal range.
-I see.

Your name is Yoon A-reum, right?

You're meticulous when you examine.

Take this. I got some steamed buns.

You can all share.

All right.

Then I'll go upstairs.

Gosh, why didn't you tell me?

-Where's the patient for the CT scan?
-On bed six.

All right.

-What am I going to do, Dr. Jung?
-Don't worry.

He's not a guy who holds grudges.

I guess he wanted to see what you can do.

PRESIDENT YEO UN-YEONG

Have you all been well?

And?

They finished up the second surgery
without suturing him up.

Minister Ryu is in the ICU again.

Maybe there were some problems
during the initial surgery.

Professor Park Min-gook is the ace of aces
at Geosan Hospital,

but Dr. Bu Yong-ju is a washed-up doctor

who is living under a different name
at a branch hospital.

Anyone would think there was an error
with Doctor Kim's initial surgery, right?

It'd be rather complicated
to check the facts on that, Reporter Choi.

Well, it's all right.

It's enough to raise a concern.

That's what the media is for, isn't it?

To keep questioning things
and raising concerns.

Then let's do this for now.

Have you heard?

Well, this is looking bad.

This is Minister Ryu's son and his wife.

Hello.

I'm Park Min-gook, the surgeon
for his second surgery.

The flight was delayed
due to weather conditions in Jeju.

How's my father?

We found a few problems
during the second surgery,

but everything was dealt with quickly.

And currently,
Minister Ryu is in good condition.

I heard this surgery would fix everything.
What are the problems now?

His organs looked more swollen
than we expected.

As soon as the swelling disappears,

we will set up a date for another surgery
and wrap up his case.

Where's the doctor
that I talked to for the first surgery?

This way, please.

NURSING DEPARTMENT

I'm sorry.

-If I hadn't made that mistake--
-Be quiet.

Shut your mouth and stay still.

Darn it. This is driving me insane.

NO VISITORS ALLOWED

So? Did you find the leakage point?

Yes, it was in the gallbladder.

That's good then.

You controlled the bile duct
and the bleeding.

Any other problems?

Well, it's…

-Doctor Kim.
-Yes?

Minister Ryu's son and wife are here.
They would like to see you.

-Okay, one second.
-Sure.

No other problems.

Keep up the good work.

-Hello.
-He's the doctor.

Hello.

Would you like to come to my office?

-Sure.
-Let's go.

Who do you think you are?

You're just mooching off of people
here and there.

How dare you show off in front of me?

If you're siding with Doctor Kim
or whatever he is, keep it that way.

Don't try to take my spot in the OR.

You think Professor Park will care
even if you step up like that?

-I didn't do that to get his attention.
-Then did you get ahead of me

to make me look bad?

You were the one who touched the clip,
not me.

-What?
-And it's not my fault you got flustered

and couldn't control the bleeding.

You little jerk!

If you want to talk, just talk.

You might break your wrist next time,
Ho-jun.

You're unbelievable.

Don't you see or care
that I'm your senior or whatever?

Senior or whatever,

I see too many of them.

That's always the problem.

Darn it!

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Dr. Cha?

Dr. Cha?

What about the CT scan?

The patient is in the CT room.

It'll take about 10 to 20 minutes
until we get…

Oh, I see. Okay.

Goodness.

Oh, Dr. Seo.

What's with Dr. Cha?

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU HEALTHY

Dr. Cha.

I'm not sure.

I guess she didn't get enough sleep.

She's been like that all day long.

-Goodness.
-Eun-jae!

Hey, it's the traitor.

What are you looking at?

I'm talking about you. Seo Woo-jin!

You.

Hey, man.

Stand still, okay?

Stop moving around, okay?

I got you. You traitor.

You jerk.

I'm going to kill you, okay?

I'm really going to…

I'm going to kill you, okay?

I'll kill you…

Excuse me, Dr. Cha?

Where are we…

She just fell asleep like that,
didn't she?

Right, Nurse Um?

Yes, I think so.

Wash your face and wake up.

I'm too tired.

You're a mess right now.

-Wash your face and wake up!
-Forget it!

It's annoying.

I don't need anything. Go away!

Why are you throwing a tantrum?

You're insane.

-Does this look like a tantrum to you?
-If you throw a fit and get angry

-when things don't go your way, it is.
-You took away my surgery!

That was my chance to return to Geosan.

But you betrayed me
and went into the OR, you traitor!

It's not like I wanted to do that!

No way, Woo-jin.

I know you.

You don't care about your friends
as long as you can make some money.

You disgusting opportunist.

Why did you call me to your OR then?

Why didn't you wrap up the tear
in the diaphragm?

Then I wouldn't have gotten kicked out
and sent here!

This is all because of you!

If you blame others for everything,
is it comforting for you?

What?

Okay then.

Keep living like that.

WOMEN'S BATHROOM

WOMEN'S BATHROOM

ALPRAZOLAM

I heard there was a problem
during the first surgery.

Problem?

What do you mean?

A reporter called me on my way here.

He said the second surgery failed
because of you, Dr. Bu.

What?

What do you mean?

I heard you didn't take a CT scan
before you started the surgery.

Is that correct?

That happens from time to time

for trauma patients
who are in critical condition.

You just admitted to your malpractice
very confidently, didn't you?

I wouldn't call that malpractice--

You didn't follow the procedure
before you performed the surgery.

How is that not malpractice?

It's because the situation
for the patient was--

Can you just be quiet?

I'm asking the surgeon right now.

One second.

So, what are you trying to say?

If you weren't confident,
you should've sent him to a big hospital.

Why did you lay your hands on my father?

He wouldn't have survived the transfer.

And he still can't.

Did you operate on him rashly,
disregarding the basics and procedures

to rise to fame by using his title?

You can't seem to answer me.

Do you admit it?

If I had been more worried
about my reputation than the patient,

I would have pronounced his death
instead of operating on him.

In your father's condition,
that might have been much easier.

There's nothing more
I can discuss with you.

I'll sue all the doctors and the hospital
for medical malpractice.

What? You'll sue us?

What did you say? He'll sue us?

That's right.

He said he'll sue Doctor Kim
as well as the hospital.

You've got to be kidding me.

How can he sue a doctor
for not doing a CT scan?

Is that worthy of a lawsuit?

He won't get his way.

The patient is no longer
in critical condition.

It's hard to prove malpractice
without firm evidence.

Apparently, they have
a video recording of the second surgery.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

I was with the minister the whole time,

but I didn't notice anything
that would constitute malpractice.

The reporter said there's a recording

and that it'll show us
how lousy the first surgery was.

That's what he told me.

That's odd.

Dr. Seo didn't say anything
about a recording.

Maybe he's been
intentionally hiding it from us.

From us?

But why would he? What's there to hide?

What if he said something
that can help them prove their case?

What's there to say?

There was no issue with the first surgery.

It's not what you say, but how you say it.

Just a subtle change in nuance
can cause many misunderstandings.

-Don't you know that?
-Right, so why?

Why would Dr. Seo help them?

What if…

Do the three of you
have something to say to me?

That jerk.

About the recording from the OR…

Did you download the file?

Yes, I did it right after the surgery.

But the thing is…

Yes, Cha Eun-jae speaking.

Oh… I beg your pardon?

I see. I'll be right there. Okay.

Can we talk, Dr. Cha?

What did you say to Professor Park
in the OR during the surgery?

He asked me about the first surgery.

SOFT DRINK

And I answered his questions.

Did you answer any questions
that may hurt the hospital?

Why do you ask?

Well…

Minister Ryu's son wants
to sue Doctor Kim for malpractice.

It looks like the recording will be used
as their key piece of evidence.

Why didn't you tell us
that the surgery was recorded?

Because you didn't ask.

Don't talk like
you have nothing to do with this.

Doctor Kim and the hospital's reputations
are on the line.

Did you,

by any chance…

Did they try to coax you or something?

Mr. Jang.

What do you mean by that?

What I'm saying is…

On the condition
that you'll testify against Doctor Kim--

You mean, did I get money from them?

Don't take this the wrong way.

-That's not what Mr. Jang meant.
-So you got money from them?

-Gosh. Enough, please!
-Geez.

-You're making me so uncomfortable.
-Ms. Oh, wait.

No matter where I go…

people are all the same.

Wait.

Gosh, seriously!

-Dr. Seo!
-Wait.

Dr. Seo!

What's with that look?

It was a reasonable thing to ask.

On his first day here,

he talked about money with Doctor Kim.

-He said he needed money.
-But this is just wrong, Mr. Jang.

What? I can't even ask?

My goodness.

Dr. Seo! Dr. Seo Woo-jin!

Why didn't you ask me directly
if you were that curious?

"Did you take any kickbacks from them?"

What are you talking about?

You told me to tell them what I saw

as truthfully as possible.

Were you trying to test me?

Did you deliberately send me there
to test me and see

what I'd do around Professor Park?

Dr. Seo!

You told me to find an answer!

Darn it.

Ms. Oh. What was that about?

You'll keep it to yourself, right?
Dr. Cha.

I know you want to go back.

I'll persuade Professor Park,

so promise that you'll keep quiet.

Okay?

Hey, earlier…

Hey. I don't want to talk to you either.

Send the money,

or we'll really kill you this time.

What's going on?

Oh, Dr. Cha is here.

Didn't I tell you to call Dr. Bae?

Well, I did call him.

Please call CS.

CS will handle rib fractures from now on.

Oh, really?

I see.

Who's the patient?

Well…

It's the rib fracture patient
from earlier.

He says he keeps having chest pain.

-What about the CT scan?
-His lungs look fine.

I don't see any bleeding either.

Both the EKG and cardiac enzyme test
look fine too.

Nurse Um, did you look up
his prescription history?

He's only on BP medication.

Oh, I see a segmental fracture.

FRACTURE WITH 2 OR MORE FRACTURE LINES

Dr. Jung, his oxygen level is dropping!

Call Doctor Kim. Quick.

-One, two, three!
-One, two, three!

Sir, does your chest still hurt?

His oxygen level is at 78 and falling.

This won't do. We should intubate him.

Hold on a second.

What? What is it?

Flail chest?

Flail chest?

Do we have face masks or venturi masks?

-No, we don't.
-Then let's intubate him, Dr. Jung.

-Nurse Joo.
-Yes.

Put one ampoule of tramadol into his IV.

-And get me a 10 ml syringe and lidocaine.
-Sure.

We'll do an intercostal nerve block
to tame the pain first.

Pass me the tube.

Here it is, Dr. Cha.

-Pull it out.
-Okay.

-Is the ventilator ready?
-Yes, it's all set.

INSPIRATORY PRESSURE: 15

What are you doing? That much pressure?

He needs positive pressure ventilation.

The fractured ribs are moving against it,
so he needs a lot of pressure

-every time he inhales.
-Really?

The oxygen level is going back up.

Seriously?

Thank goodness.

How did you know he had flail chest?

I saw it once at the main hospital.

On a victim of a traffic accident.

For someone who saw it just once,
you took care of it pretty quickly.

I'm a quick learner.

I didn't mean to brag.

Why were you in the ER at that hour?

Do you hang out in the ER often?

Oh, how did you know?

I'm usually there when I'm on night duty.

Cardiac arrest victims
tend to come in at night.

To them, time is of the essence.

I'm really good at CPR as well.
I also have an ACLS certification.

Have you ever run out of the ER?

Well…

No, never.

When you see blood
or have to make simple scalpel incisions--

Right, I can do all of that in the ER.

As long as it's not in the OR,
I can handle everything.

All right. You may leave.

Okay. I'll be off then.

We might have to wait over a week
to take him off the ventilator.

-Pardon me?
-Monitor him carefully.

He's your first patient, you know.

But didn't you tell me
to quit being a doctor?

Hey.

Will you really quit if I tell you to?

No, I won't.

Goodness.

Get back to work.

Okay.

I'll call you when we move him
to the ward.

Okay, thank you.

Why didn't you compliment her?
She did a great job.

She knows that better than anybody else,
so why bother?

What was that about?

He said he didn't need a doctor like me.

RESTRICTED AREA: OPERATING ROOM

Shouldn't we come up with a plan too?

He's saying he'll sue us for malpractice.

We can't just sit back
and let him attack us like that.

Besides, if Dr. Seo is actually playing
both sides, what's going to happen?

You know that Doctor Kim was the one
who sent him to that OR.

It means he trusts Dr. Seo to some extent.
Am I wrong?

Do it if you want to. I'm not interested.

It's the traitor.

It's not like I wanted to scrub in.

You disgusting opportunist.

Dr. Cha?

TEXTBOOK OF SURGERY

You left it in the staff lounge,
so I brought it for you.

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

It was wrong to accuse you like that
without any evidence whatsoever.

We obviously owe you an apology.

As one of the older staff members,
I apologize.

There's no need to apologize.

Mr. Jang could be right, you know.

After all, I'd do anything for money.

If you were actually like that,
you'd just be after money.

You wouldn't be looking for an answer.

Didn't you say earlier
that you're looking for an answer?

-Nurse Um.
-Yes?

Is something up with Dr. Yoon?

Well, it's because of President Yeo.

-President Yeo?
-She thought he was a regular patient

and even examined him.

-She examined President Yeo?
-Yes.

She took his temperature,
checked his pulse, auscultated him,

and did all sorts of things.

-What are you going to do?
-What? Oh…

I have to speak with President Yeo.

About what?

Well, the thing is,

I heard some strange sounds
from his lungs when I was examining him.

Then you can talk to me first.

Sorry?

You didn't have to return so soon.

You should've gotten more rest.

I saw the news,
and things seemed so hectic.

So I couldn't just take it easy and rest.

I heard Minister Ryu's son
is saying he'll sue us.

We're always dealing with
either inspections or lawsuits, you know.

There was no issue with the surgery,
so we'll just have to handle it well.

I heard Do Yun-wan is back.

I don't think it'll be easy this time.

People with low self-esteem
tend to have big egos, you know.

His ego has been bruised,

so I bet he's very determined.

How's the pain?

Any better?

How about a game of Go? It's been a while.

Gosh, sir.

-You want me to play dumb?
-That's right.

Please just act like you know nothing
in front of President Yeo and the staff.

I can't do that.

I clearly heard the sound from his lungs.
How could I…

Hold on.

Does he know about it?

Yes. He does.

Gosh.

Then what about the staff?

Only Doctor Kim and I know about it.

So even Ms. Oh has no idea?

That's right. Not yet.

-So please--
-I get it.

You want me to keep my lips sealed.

I'd really appreciate that.

Okay. I will.

I should.

I'll trust you then.

BEWARE OF OPENING DOOR

Let me check your eyes.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

DOLDAM'S FOUR PROMISES

RECEPTION, INFORMATION, PRESCRIPTION

You plan to file a lawsuit?

That's right.

And that's why I need
the video recording of the second surgery.

Video recording?

I'm not quite following.

I heard the surgery was recorded.

I was told that it contains a statement
by a doctor who was in the first surgery.

Who told you that?

An anonymous reporter.

He said he deeply admires you.

About the recording from the OR…
Did you download the file?

But…

wouldn't this hurt us more if it got out?

That is why

we must make sure it doesn't leak.

-You deleted it from your phone, right?
-Yes, I did.

Do you have a black flash drive?

Well…

-Something like this?
-No, it's smaller.

-I need to find it.
-I checked the file.

Yes, I'll send it over.

All right.

May I borrow this for just five minutes?

GEOSAN UNIVERSITY

I think you've been misinformed.

We didn't record the surgery.

Are you trying to protect
your fellow doctor?

Gosh. No, sir.

Of course not.

I put everything aside and came
all the way here to save Minister Ryu.

Trust me.

There is no recording.

Doctor Yang.

This flash drive.

It's yours, right?

-I found it in the changing room.
-What?

Oh, you have yours.

This looked exactly like yours,
so I thought you dropped it.

No worries.

That must be the flash drive
with the recording of the second surgery.

Hey.

What are you talking about?

What recording?

It is, right?

You told me earlier that it's a recording
of the entire second surgery.

What?

He got his hands on the video recording?

Yes, apparently.

Then what will happen to us now?

Will he actually sue us?

Not a chance.

Quite the contrary, actually.

Really?

My gosh, that's great.

See? I told you everything would work out.

So? What's Mr. Jang going to do now?

This is from the bottom of my heart,
Dr. Seo.

Please accept this.

I'm sorry, Doctor Kim.

It was a misunderstanding on my part.

I should've looked into it more.

It's so hard for me to see
my father bedridden like that.

On top of that, I heard he's not showing
much improvement after the second surgery,

so I guess I lost my mind for a moment.

I sincerely apologize.

Minister Ryu is putting up a good fight.

I promise you,
I'll continue to do my best.

I'll speak to you soon.

-Doctor Kim.
-Yes.

Here's the recording of the surgery.

I thought you might need it.

Thank you.

Joo-young.

I have to say,
happy endings suit our hospital the best.

You think so?

And that's precisely why
we turned down all other opportunities

and chose to stay here.

I hope both Dr. Seo and Dr. Cha
will eventually feel the same way we do.

-Right?
-Totally.

Oh, that reminds me.

Is Dr. Cha all right?

Gosh, it's so crazy.

I must be going insane.

I mean, how…

Why the heck did I do such a thing?

Gosh, what is wrong with me?

Dr. Cha.

Yes, Dr. Yang.

You probably did that because
you don't know what kind of person I am.

I'm not really following.

Sorry.

I'm sorry about earlier.

That was a little…

I mean, it was so mean.

Especially calling you a traitor
and an opportunist.

I hope you can erase it from your head.
Can you?

Sure. I can do that.

All right then.

I'll see you tomorrow.

ALPRAZOLAM

Well done, Jessie.

High five.

What about the CT scan?
You didn't check before coming in?

Professor Park asked you a question.

His condition was critical,
and his BP was low.

-Yes, come in.
-So you didn't even do a CT scan?

What is this?

Your ten million won.

Pardon me?

But it hasn't been a week yet.

So what? You're declining it?

All right. I'll wait until then.

How many months does this cover?

I'm lending you money out of my pocket.

Pay me back a million won every month.

Hold on.

A million a month to pay back ten million?

It means you'll be stuck here
for the next ten months.

Will you be okay with that?

What? Did you just scoff at me?

Well, it was just a little cringy.

Was I just acting too cool
for you to take?

You could also…

call it romantic.

You should get going.

Yes, sir.

He is…

weird.

And this hospital…

is a weird place.

As one of the older staff members,
I apologize.

I'm sorry, Dr. Seo.

And…

weird elders.

Gosh, Woo-jin.

There you are.

Hey, we've been looking everywhere
for you.

-How have you been?
-And…

my messed-up situation.

Will I manage…

to find the answer?

What are you talking about?
Notice of termination?

Will you join hands with me?

I heard some interesting rumors.

Is it true that you're coming to Doldam?

Will you be able to handle it?
Are you trying to scare me away?

A whole family attempted suicide?

Patients can choose their doctors,

but doctors can't choose their patients.

What is the matter with you, Dr. Seo?

I'm sorry, but I can't treat this patient.

What did you just say?

The patient isn't responding!

Promise me that you'll help him.

You will help him, right?
