- Dad, are you okay? - No other hospital will take him!
Where are we supposed to go then?
Please help us out. We have nowhere else to call!
No...
Dad!
In life, there sometimes comes a time.
Dad!
(Emergency Medical Center)
Dad!
A time when you desperately call to the deities.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Darn it.
He's the ruptured abdominal aorta patient we called about.
I told you none of our surgeons are available.
You can't just barge in here with him.
He's in hypovolemic shock and his vitals are barely hanging on.
He'll die if he isn't operated on now.
There's nothing we can do.
Take him somewhere else.
- Dr. Ha. - Yes?
Send them away.
- Okay. Let's go. - Doctor.
Please help my dad.
Please.
(Please cooperate in the ER)
Send them off.
If the deity's too busy to help,
you wish even for a ghost to help, you are that desperate.
He's leaving.
He can't!
Please reconsider.
If you send him away now, he might die on the road.
Are you out of your mind?
How dare an intern get in the way?
- Get him out of here now! - No!
Stop!
This is a hospital. We're doctors.
If we give up on a patient, who will...
You think you're a doctor, do you?
Then do you think you can...
operate on him?
Dad, no!
(Ghost Doctor)
So what happened next?
Did the ghost save the patient?
(Episode 1)
Do you want to know? Well...
It's a secret.
No one in the world can hear about it.
Are there really ghosts like that in our world?
Of course there are. I bet there's one in this hospital.
Like a guardian deity that looks after the sick.
You know what that is, right?
You little patients can pretend...
ghost doctors are looking over you.
You should thank them. Say thanks.
What a joke!
There are no such good ghosts!
- Right! What a joke! - Right! What a joke!
How can a doctor be a ghost?
Ghosts aren't superheroes.
It's a joke!
- A darn joke! - Kids these days are twisted.
They don't take an adult's word for it.
If the living could take care of everything...
(12 years later)
It would be a joke.
A darn joke.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Wow, gorgeous.
He didn't let me down.
Cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Cha Young Min.
What? He's a professor?
Right? You're surprised too?
You'd wonder why he became a doctor with those looks and physique.
That's not the only mysterious thing about him.
What is it?
What's the CPR time?
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
(911 Emergency Medical Aid)
Hurry.
It took us 30 minutes to get here.
There was no witness. We don't know...
- when he went into arrest. - This way.
Go!
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Send Dr. An and skip the ECMO.
(Emergency Medical Center)
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Coming through.
(911 Emergency Medical Aid)
Ready? One, two, three.
Pulse check.
Intubate.
Pass me 7.5mm.
Let's swap.
Ambu bag.
Get help.
Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Where's the ECMO team?
They said they'd be here.
Two hundred joules, charged. Clear!
Cleared.
Shock!
Rhythm check.
Compression.
Pulse check.
Where are you going? Oh Soo Jung.
Professor Cha!
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
A patient in the ER needs ECPR.
Can you come and take a look?
(Oh Soo Jung)
"Intern Oh"?
Let's discuss rank later. You must hurry...
An intern should cross the line when they know nothing at all.
That's fine. I was like that too.
That's an intern's privilege.
Watch out!
Sorry, Professor. There's no time.
Let's go.
What do you think you're doing?
There's no time, so listen up, Intern Oh.
One, I don't treat just any patient.
Why? Because I'm not just any doctor for any patient.
Two, I don't treat emergency cases.
Why? Because there are a few steps until they reach me.
Three, I don't treat such patients. What patients?
Patients like the man who just came in.
These hands are for those who have at least a one percent chance...
Watch out!
Darn it.
- If you have the time for this... - If you have the time for this!
You should return to the ER.
You must learn how to pronounce someone dead.
Now I must go and save people who can be saved.
What a crazy...
What's his name?
It's...
What's his name?
It's Shin Jung Woo.
Shin Jung Woo.
It's September 2, 9:31am.
I pronounce him dead.
Cha Young Min, that jerk.
Who?
Did you go after him?
Do you even know who he is?
He's just a scumbag doctor who looks good on the outside.
He's a what? Watch what you say.
He's the best of our best doctors,
and not even our hospital director can slight him.
You know,
he performed his first solo surgery when he was an intern...
and saved an emergency patient.
When he pulled that off, the entire hospital was stunned.
Afterward, when he was a resident, he did that again a few more times.
And right now, he saves every single patient he has.
Hey. People even say that he's possessed by a spirit.
What did you just say?
What? His solo surgery when he was an intern?
You can't believe it either, right?
He must've been around your age when he was an intern.
Hey. No matter how talented he is...
Not that. You said something about being possessed by a spirit.
That was just a metaphor.
His medical skills are so good that a spirit must be watching him.
You didn't think he was really possessed, right?
A 33-year-old female with Behcet's disease.
Due to aortic regurgitation, she had a Bentall procedure...
and three rounds of surgeries due to the inflammation.
Due to the aortic root pseudoaneurysm,
Professor Cha will be performing...
a quadrido Bentall procedure this afternoon.
A quadrido?
This is her 4th time? Not her 5th?
Well, this is her fifth surgery,
but technically, this is a do-over for the fourth surgery.
I'm sure you know, Professor Cha.
This disease has a high rate of recurrence.
So you must perform surgeries often.
After several surgeries,
adhesion is pretty bad. So everything gets stuck.
And when you cut open their chest, things rupture and all.
This surgery is very complicated and challenging.
Then why did you perform a complicated, challenging surgery?
Well, other doctors said they couldn't perform the surgery.
Then why don't you wrap up my surgery too?
- Excuse me, Professor Cha. - What?
The patient doesn't trust Chief Ban.
The patient insisted on getting a new doctor.
You leave me no choice. Get the surgery ready. Next.
A 70-year-old male.
He has diabetes and high blood pressure.
And two years ago, he had a stroke.
When he was undergoing exams for shortness of breath a month ago,
we found cardiac sarcoma.
Well, I got the request for this case.
And his son was wondering if I could perform the surgery.
So you'll perform it?
Gosh. I can't. How can I tackle that monster?
I was wondering if you could pull it off.
I can't perform this surgery.
Professor Cha.
Don't just turn it down. Can you at least think about it?
You know, for the sake of the son.
There's a high chance of the clot from his heart...
or a piece of tumor traveling up to his brain...
and worsening his stroke.
And he's likely to have a relapse...
after undergoing the incomplete resection.
Without the surgery, he can have a full year.
Unless he wants to shorten his father's life,
as his son, he should help his father enjoy his last year.
Please tell that to his son.
Well, Professor Cha. Why don't you...
Next.
He's doing that on purpose to humiliate me.
Seriously. He has no respect for his chief.
He's always on his high horse because he's talented.
He's about to reach the sky on that horse!
Fine. Keep at it.
Let's see what the universe will do to you.
Please do something about it.
Oh, right. It's today.
Fine. You will meet your match.
Let's have an easy, relaxing day.
He can't say anything to his face.
He always talks behind Professor Cha.
By the way, what was he talking about at the end?
He talked about Professor Cha's match.
Okay. It's over.
Let me pull that out.
Did I do that? One, two, three, four.
What's up with him? He seems to have a loose screw.
We're getting our new resident today.
He's been doing all the work for the past two years.
He's happy to get a junior resident.
I see. Is that today?
The guidelines these days are standard.
What could possibly be tiring about it?
But where is this resident?
Late on the first day? Teach the new resident the protocol.
Yes, sir.
By the way, why the long face, Dr. An?
What? Are you angry that you had to pronounce him dead this morning?
No.
- But how did you know? - I saw him on my way in.
I heard that it had an unwitnessed arrest.
It took 30 minutes to the hospital. No responses from CPR.
Then wasn't that obvious?
(Medicine is welfare.)
- What about ECMO? - I didn't use it.
Good.
Priming an EMCO circuit costs 3,000 dollars.
We have to throw it out if we don't use it once filled up.
Why waste money on something we weren't going to use?
Good job.
You must be Professor Cha Young Min.
I heard a lot about you.
You are the best surgeon the hospital has.
Yes. Well, that's true. But who am I speaking to?
What? Oh, my.
I'm holding the hand of the famous doctor, possessed by a spirit.
You have very delicate hands.
I take good care of my hands.
But who are you?
A chairman once said,
"A genius can support 100,000 people."
Hold on. We have 2,000 medical staff members...
and 5,800 administrative employees. So there are about 8,000 people.
Gosh. You can support about ten of our hospitals.
- Hey. - Priming the ECMO circuit...
costs as much as an employee's paycheck.
If you save money like that ten times,
you can save enough for an employee's annual salary.
What is this about?
Who are you?
You are indeed a distinguished doctor. But from what I hear,
your character requires some work.
Hey.
That's the unique trait, privilege, and charm of a genius,
Didn't Aristotle say that?
"There is no great genius without some touch of madness."
It takes an entire hospital to raise a genius doctor.
If you have any problems with performing your talented surgeries,
don't hesitate to come to me.
Hi, brother.
You must be busy. I'll let you get back to work.
Brother.
- Yes? - Where's the locker room?
Over there.
Right.
I will be working with you starting today.
I'm Resident Ko Seung Tak.
I look forward to working with you.
We should go.
Is he the new resident who's supposed to come today?
Hey. Who is he?
Hey. Who is that jerk?
Darn it.
You know him, don't you?
How long have you known him? Where did you meet him?
How much do you know?
We did undergrad together.
But I don't know much about him. I only know a little bit.
"I look forward to working with you."
- Did you teach him? - How could I?
I only gave him some information.
Information? Like what?
How crazy I am?
This isn't fair. I'm the biggest victim here.
Ko Seung Tak?
You're talking about Mr. I Was Told to Be a Doctor?
You know about him too?
Well, I only heard of him...
and about his interview for the internship.
That story is legendary.
During interviews for internships,
they always ask you cliche questions.
Why did you become a doctor?
I want to help patients in pain.
I want to save people.
Everyone gives predictable answers. But only one of them didn't.
He said this instead.
My grandfather told me to.
And so did my mom.
So his grandfather is the chairman of the hospital foundation.
And his mother is the chairwoman of the board?
(Pass)
How can there be nepotism in our hiring process...
especially in this day and age?
What did you say?
What if the other residents start a protest with that?
Don't you know the era we live in? You should rescind the offer.
The top of his class in undergrad and the internship program.
If this is nepotism, you got your job with nepotism too.
The professors colluded and gave him the highest marks.
And since when did we pick an intern based on his grades in undergrad?
Character, sense of duty, and calling.
Oh, my. I wonder...
when you have become...
so knowledgeable about the qualities of a doctor.
If you don't want to take my advice, send him to another professor.
He will not work well with me.
He is immature, isn't he?
Hello, Deputy Director.
You're his cousin, so you must know.
Immature isn't the only word I would describe him as.
Rude, arrogant, inconsiderate, and egoistical.
My cousin needs a lot of guidance.
I hope you can lead him in the right direction now.
Please remember that...
the future of our foundation relies on your hands.
Right. Did I not tell you?
Dr. Ko is the heir of the hospital foundation.
The chairman wouldn't give it to him for free and set a condition.
It's a prerequisite for him to succeed him.
In other words, he came to get a license...
in order to inherit the foundation.
(Cardiothoracic Surgery Clinic)
How did it go?
Are you asking me?
Don't ask me.
I won't condone a punk like that pretending to be a doctor.
- This is so nice. - This is expensive.
This scent...
What kind of doctor wears perfume in a hospital?
I didn't give it to them to wear in the hospital.
I'm saying don't smell like the hospital after work.
For a good work-life balance.
You've thrown enough money around, so get to work,
Resident Ko Seung Tak.
What are you waiting for? Prepare for your rounds.
Female age 65. Bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
Ascending aorta dilatation to AVR.
Ascending aorta replaced.
Extubation at 10pm last night at POD one went smoothly.
Ko Seung Tak. Explain what a bicuspid aortic valve is.
A bicuspid aortic valve is...
a congenital heart defect affecting about one percent of the population.
Based on the aortic valve fusion, the hemodynamics varies,
and it may lead to AR at a young age.
According to their age, it turns into...
bicuspid aortic valve stenosis or aorta dilatation.
He was infamous in school.
For what?
For being as smart as the professors.
We'll see about that.
He always got the top scores on exams.
And I don't know where he read so many scientific journals,
but he used to fluster professors with crazy hard questions.
People even said professors were studying...
because of him.
I heard you took a year off. You must've studied a lot.
You look after this patient.
Pardon?
Ko Seung Tak. Explain the maze procedure.
Maze is a surgical procedure...
for treating atrial fibrillation...
using various sources of energy...
to disrupt faulty electrical signals.
Good. You treat this patient too.
Sir.
He's unstable, so I should keep...
Dr. An. Do doctors treat only stable patients?
Entrust him.
Ko Seung Tak. In infective endocarditis,
if the culture is negative, which antibiotics do we use?
I'm not sure.
Is that right?
Vancomycin, gentamicin,
ampicillin, ceftriaxone, or cefepime.
We can choose what is appropriate depending on the situation.
Consult Infectious Diseases and proceed accordingly.
Me?
Yes since Ko Seung Tak doesn't know it.
Why me?
For being my brother.
Darn it.
What about the other patients?
Hey. They're...
Kim Jae Won. Why are they still here?
Well... Their guardians are refusing their transfers.
Do we have beds to spare?
Transfer them within the week.
Yes, sir.
I guess giving up on patients like them...
is the wise and right way to live.
I learned something good on my first day.
Ko Seung Tak. There are two types of patients.
Those that can live by my touch.
Those that can't live even after my touch.
However, if it doesn't work after I work on them,
it means no one can heal them.
That's what they are.
You told me earlier to feed the employees.
It's basic knowledge that the more patients I see in my rounds,
the more money I bring in.
More importantly,
should I lose patients who can survive...
by focusing on those who can't?
Like their lives were so great.
Why won't they let go?
People should be cool about it and leave when it's their time.
What a jerk.
Yes, he's a total jerk.
Most doctors are.
He's worse because he's a genius.
Most geniuses tend to be slightly insane.
So, forget what you heard.
Don't take it to heart.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
- Did you eat well? - I ate a little.
How do you feel?
(Restricted)
What? First, it was just graduate from med school, then intern.
Did your grandfather change his mind again?
Our chairman needs to vamp up his security.
How does an intern know such important information?
He upped it again. I need to pass my boards.
Really? That must've been tough.
It's the life of an heir. Hardship before success.
I'll consider it an on-site experience.
And you chose...
the toughest Cardiothoracic Surgery?
It's cool. The heart.
I can't have the doctor below me disrespect me later.
Why don't you work hard since you're here anyway?
And change that attitude.
Hey, Crystal.
I've been used to being superior and receiving special treatment...
for 28 years. It's too late to change now.
Regular people need to adapt to me.
And must I? It's not like I'm going to be a doctor forever.
Why must I work hard?
Hello? Who's this?
The fellow.
Surgery? Why should I?
I'd like to, but I don't feel...
I was talking.
Why do I have to go into Professor Cha's surgery?
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Why are they all here?
Your surgeries are the best lessons.
It's a chance to watch,
and this is an unusual case.
What is there to watch? I do this every day.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
What's wrong with you, punk?
Put on your scrubs.
Come close behind me.
We'll begin.
As you've heard, this is her fifth surgery.
You must be very careful the moment you open the chest cavity.
Let's begin. Scalpel.
- Suction. - Suction.
Bovie.
Saw.
Bovie.
I'm done. Let's swap.
I'm in.
Retractor.
Hold it.
Going ahead with the RA.
Cut.
Cannula.
Cut.
Okay, good.
(Deputy Director Han Seung Won)
Hello, Han Seung Won speaking.
Then let's say tonight.
You need not worry about that.
The main op is over, and they're doing an ultrasound.
There's no paravalvular leakage in the aortic valve.
That means the sutures are tight.
The average pressure is below 1.5m per sec,
with no narrowing in the veins.
The surgery was successful.
Ko Seung Tak.
Bioprosthetic aortic valve. Explain.
A bioprosthetic aortic valve,
another name for a bioprosthetic heart valve...
is usually made from a cow's pericardium,
or slices of a pig's heart valve.
The ultimate issue is valve calcification...
where the stiffened valve leads to failure...
Okay, good. Very nice.
It's time to take out the RA cannula.
You tie it up. You can do that, can't you?
Step up.
In his first practical anatomy class,
he was told to make an abdominal incision.
What are you doing? You don't know what to do?
Ko Seung Tak!
I don't want to do this.
He walked out and missed most of the practical classes...
with all sorts of excuses.
Ko Seung Tak, are you... Move.
(Authorized Personnel Only)
- Well done. - That was great, Professor.
Do you know...
who makes the least progress in conversational English?
Those who did well in English in school.
They think their conversational skills...
equal the grades they got.
So what if you get good grades for ten years...
if you can't speak for more than ten seconds?
The same goes for medicine.
If you're a master of book learning,
you'll end up like your senior here.
A doctor who is all talk but who can't lift a finger.
So what if you were born with a gold spoon?
Your hands are made of dirt.
As if it's a ghost. It's all him.
When a patient's at death's door,
between a harsh doctor who is greatly skilled,
and a warmhearted humane doctor with poor skills.
Who do you think they'll choose?
What saves a patient...
is not what's in here.
It's this...
and this.
Remember that.
A doctor's not a service provider of emotions.
It's a technical job where visible skills are important.
Therefore...
if you have no skills whatsoever,
and you just want to ace exams to earn a sign...
I hope you do not waste your time.
That's all.
Your hands are useless, so useless
My hands are useful, so useful
Love my useful hands
You know that...
I am...
the icon of authority and respect, don't you?
But today, this weird kid showed up.
He got in my face and acted so smart.
He's a what? A prince? My gosh.
He's useless.
Cha Mandu. Tell me this.
Am I the kind to get walked all over?
I'm not, so I told him...
to join me in the OR.
And I flattened him in public.
How dare the kid try to take me on?
When he's useless.
It's okay. I won.
I bet he won't show up tomorrow.
What if he does?
If he shows up,
then I must come up with...
another strategy.
So I did some thinking.
Should I wear my new suit tomorrow?
Or when I'm done paying off this one,
should I buy a new car?
Good morning, Professor.
You came to work.
Naturally. This is my workplace.
You must be tougher than I thought.
That is one of my basic virtues as an heir.
Aren't you walking too close...
considering the difference in our social status?
Mention that and you'll get called old-fashioned and mean.
Equality, fairness, justice is what's in now.
How about you become a doctor first, an heir later?
Start with tying sutures.
It takes work to raise a genius.
I happen to have a pretty good business mind.
Remind your grandfather of that. Who knows?
He might suddenly change his mind.
He changes his mind often enough anyway.
I don't have to appeal to him.
(Emergency Medical Center)
- You go ahead. - Why?
Did you ask me that? Thinking I'd answer?
Are we close?
He asks me a million questions.
- Are you close? - My gosh.
It's like that.
Friendships bloom on a battlefield.
Enemies become fast friends.
I'm the only victim.
Don't be so cruel to yourself.
Do you want a coffee?
What did I do to deserve this?
- Oh? - Hello. A coffee, please.
Is he going there again?
"There"? Where?
There's a place he goes to sometimes on his own to drink and look cool.
Thanks.
There's such a place in my hospital that I don't know about?
Hey, you can't go there. Not there.
Have you been well?
It's been a while.
You look good. That's nice.
I guess you still drink your coffee in the morning here.
Cha Young Min speaking.
I came out for a coffee, but I ran into someone I rather not see.
No. I'll come upstairs right away.
I no longer want my coffee.
(Jang Kwang Deok)
Didn't we go over this case yesterday at the conference?
Yes. The patient with the cardiac sarcoma.
I didn't mention this yesterday.
But he's Chairman Jang Kwang Deok of Chunmyung Group.
He was discreetly admitted to our hospital last night.
As you know, he's in the public eye.
So I asked for a private meeting.
I hope you can understand.
I shared my opinion yesterday with you.
Right. You did.
But I also told you that his son wanted the surgery.
This is his son, the vice chairman of Chunmyung Group.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
I'm Jang Min Ho.
You didn't know who my father was yesterday.
But now that you know, can you review his case for surgery?
Review it carefully.
You know,
I'm his only son.
I can't lose my father without trying everything I can.
You are the best cardiothoracic surgeon.
So I'm asking for your help very politely.
He's an old patient with diabetes and high blood pressure...
and a history of a stroke.
His body won't be able to survive the surgery.
Even if I perform the surgery,
the tumor is deep in the left atrium and the pulmonary vein.
I won't be able to resect it completely.
Then he will have a relapse in three months.
He won't have much time left.
He doesn't have a lot of time without the surgery anyway.
Please perform the surgery, so I can save face...
Just to help you save face,
I cannot have a blemish on my career.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
- What's my surgery schedule? - Here.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Make sure I don't see Ko Seung Tak from now on.
Pardon?
He didn't take his internship seriously.
No wonder why he has no foundation.
He can start from the ER.
What? Do you have something to say to me?
If you do, tell your grandfather.
Or whine about it to your mom.
You heard him.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Why is he so upset?
Did you cross him?
It wasn't me this time.
So what do I do in the ER?
As if you can actually do anything.
Just answer your phone.
Okay. My phone.
Mr. Kim?
You know who I am, right?
I bet the entire hospital knows by now.
Want me to tell you who you are?
You are a doctor who's all talk.
I'm glad that you're always observing me. That's great.
But still. There's a time and place for that.
That's rich coming from you.
Get rid of them when I tell you nicely.
Why would I?
That's all right. You can keep them.
You know they are luxury goods, right?
It looks like this man hasn't learned his lesson yet.
Sir, can I train Dr. Ko?
What? Sure.
Right?
Hey. We did undergrad together.
But you took time off from school, so you're only an intern now.
You probably don't know this yet.
But there's a hierarchy at hospitals.
Come with me when I'm still being nice.
You'll regret it.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
What? What's up with the hierarchy between them?
Gosh. That hurts.
Goodness. That must hurt.
(Ko Seung Tak)
Move.
I'm sorry.
How dare you make me wait?
Do you know who I am?
Exactly. Do you know who I am?
Are you kidding me? Forget it.
I want to talk to the chief.
Tell the hospital director to come down!
I have more power than them.
You can talk to me.
Do you think this is a joke?
This is nonsense. Do you think I'll fall for your ridiculous joke?
You punk. You're unbelievable.
Father.
This is Professor Cha from the Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Hello. I'm Cha Young Min.
I see. Hello, Professor Cha.
I heard a lot about you.
So you are...
the best cardiothoracic surgeon in Korea.
You're too kind.
She's my youngest daughter.
I'm Jang Se Jin.
Actually, my daughter...
is a doctor as well.
She works at a very famous hospital...
in Seattle, United States.
When she heard I was sick,
she came to see me all the way from Seattle.
The thought of leaving...
my proud son and daughter...
overwhelms me and complicates...
things for me.
My son told me...
that surgery was an option.
But I want to hear your honest opinion.
So I asked for a meeting with a busy doctor like you.
I heard what happened.
You met a rich father and changed your life around.
But you have exceeded my expectation, Ms. Jang.
And you...
have become a better doctor than I expected.
Well, I have no interest...
in asking about your life and catching up.
What? Are you here to ask me...
to perform the surgery on your rich father? Is that it?
No. It's the opposite.
I received his medical chart...
and already reviewed his case with my colleagues before I came back.
I believe you also reached the same conclusion...
as a doctor.
Giving him a chance to enjoy his final year...
instead of going through this impossible surgery...
is the right thing for him.
Who said it was impossible?
If you're doing this because of your resentment against me...
Jang Se Jin.
You must still see me...
as the lowly intern from 12 years ago.
That's right.
What? Did he not write a will regarding your inheritance?
Or do you not like what it says?
What do you want me to do?
Should I kill...
or save...
your father?
So this is the type of doctor you became.
I need to talk to you.
I don't think I'll be able to tell you if I don't do it today.
Se Jin.
I'll wait there.
Se Jin.
Se Jin!
She left for training in the US.
She should be on the plane by now.
I heard Se Jin met her biological father.
I hear he's extremely rich, so her life is set.
She's set for life.
Weren't they going out?
Isn't it obvious? She dumped him.
A poor lowly intern isn't good enough for her anymore.
So this is the type of doctor you became.
No. You don't know...
what kind of doctor I've become.
This is Cha Young Min.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
You revised the surgery time, right?
I did, but...
Must you really do this surgery?
Don't worry.
It's possible with auto transplantation.
But you had another surgery scheduled for the same time.
Hey, that surgery isn't an emergency.
We can push it off for a day or two.
It's very dangerous, and there's a high risk of relapse.
You don't usually do surgeries like this.
An Tae Hyun.
How many years have you been a fellow?
Four years, sir.
You're up for professor next March, correct?
The document phase starts soon, doesn't it?
His son says he'll make sure my life is set if I operate.
You get to benefit from it too.
Isn't that why you put up with all sorts of abuse...
under me?
I'll prepare...
for surgery.
Good.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Let's begin.
Scalpel.
(Current time)
Suction.
Okay.
I'll remove the heart now.
- Focus. - Okay.
Pull harder.
Hey. Pull properly.
What if the mitral valve becomes damaged because of you?
Get your act together!
Sorry, sir.
(911 Emergency Medical Aid)
Excuse me.
I'll stay here. Why don't you take a break?
Where would I go when the patient hasn't woken up yet?
Who is this?
(Unknown sender: I'd like to meet for a minute.)
I'll step out for a few minutes. Stay with him.
Call me if anything happens.
- There's someone inside. - In the car too.
- Really? Oh no. - Oh my gosh.
What's taking them so long?
- Why aren't they here yet? - I know.
- We called so long ago. - This is terrible.
- Oh my gosh. - Look.
Oh my goodness.
- What do we do? - My gosh.
- What's taking so long? - Oh no.
- This is terrible. - What happened?
What's going on?
He came at me from the side.
That car.
How far away are you?
A person is dying here. Hurry.
- Darn it. - This is terrible.
- Oh my gosh. - What...
I'm a doctor. Let me take a look.
- What do we do? - Where's the ambulance?
Hey. Do you hear me? Hey.
Why are they so slow?
Please step back.
I said to step back.
Darn it.
Over here!
Hurry.
Sir. Can you hear me?
His heart stopped.
Do you have a defibrillator? Go get it.
Hey.
Hey!
Step back.
Here too. There's a person here too.
Over here! Bring a stretcher!
Hi, Jae Won.
Ko Seung Tak, where are you?
I'm in the ER, of course.
The favor I asked for earlier.
I don't hear you.
What am I doing?
Patients are flooding in...
Oh? They're really flooding in.
Ko Seung Tak.
What's all this noise?
Ko Seung Tak.
(911 Emergency Medical Aid)
(Authorized Personnel Only)
(Emergency Medical Center)
Traffic accident victim.
He crashed into a car while on a motorcycle.
Bring him in.
(Authorized Personnel Only)
(911 Emergency Medical Aid)
The car driver who drove into the motorcyclist that just came in.
Professor Cha!
What? Is he a doctor here?
Yes. Bring him in and fast.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
- It's Professor Cha. - What?
- Move! - One, two, three.
- Are you okay? - His chest met the steering wheel.
BP is 80 over 40, pulse 120.
Yes. My chest crashed into the steering wheel.
It must be cardiac tamponade.
My right ventricle could've ruptured.
Book an OR first.
There's no time for a CT so...
Move it! Book an OR and call CS!
Yes. Do a heart ultrasound in the meantime.
- CS isn't picking up. - Why not?
Who's on call tonight?
Ko Seung Tak. Dr. Ko, why didn't you pick up?
You're on call tonight?
- Ko Seung Tak's on call tonight? - Says who?
Not him!
Yes, An Tae Hyun. Call him now.
It's Professor Cha. Help him.
What do you think he can do?
He did nothing but study books! An echocardiograph...
An echocardiograph.
Get me the machine now.
This isn't a machine you can use whenever you want.
Can you even read...
You know how to read it?
Ko Seung Tak. Do you see the pooled blood here?
It's cardiac tamponade to the right ventricle.
I need surgery.
Do you see this here?
Here, I see pooled blood. I think it's cardiac tamponade.
We must find and suture the tear in the OR.
Don't just stand there! Move me to the OR!
- Oh Soo Jung, get an OR. - Okay, to the OR.
- Find a surgeon fast! - Okay.
Find someone quick!
What's taking the fools so long?
My pulse is 110. I'm holding on.
You'll get through this, Young Min. You can manage.
(Eunsang University Medical Center)
Will you please pick up?
This is insane.
His BP is falling.
He might die!
Why isn't anyone here yet?
Please. Just once.
Please.
So far...
I saved so many lives in the OR.
Does it make sense that there's not one doctor in here to save me?
Why am I stuck with this useless fool of all people?
This won't do. Call the ER.
Give me the scalpel.
What are you doing?
Are you...
Give me the scalpel!
Aren't you a first year?
What do you think you're doing?
You said he'll die if we don't do anything.
Should I let him?
Ko Seung Tak.
There's no time. Give it to me.
I won't be responsible for this.
What are you saying?
Dr. Oh, stop him!
He can't even take out a cannula!
And you're putting my life in his hands?
His BP fell even further.
- Any longer and... - Wait!
Fine.
I think highly of you for trying to do what you can.
But have you ever held a scalpel before?
Okay, wait! I get that there's no other option.
Calm down.
Relax and take a few deep breaths.
Breathe in and out. Breathe in...
and out. That's it.
I've been through this, and I know you're scared.
It's scary. It would be. You've never done this before.
But you know, when I was an intern...
Anyway, I'm saying you can do it.
Of course, not anyone can do it.
But believe that you can do it.
Go over the steps of the surgery in your mind.
You know as much as a professor does.
Wait! Not that spot!
Do you have something against me?
Do you? You do?
I get it, but this isn't the time for that.
Save me first. Don't take it out on me in here.
I said not that spot!
Dr. Ko, what's going on?
Will you do it or not?
What's this? This is impossible.
Hey! Ko Seung Tak!
Let's begin.
Intern Oh, come and assist me.
Pull yourself together!
Come closer.
Bovie.
Saw.
Spreader.
Blunt.
My heart.
(Ghost Doctor)
They found out about my hidden talent,
so I won't be able to play hooky starting tomorrow.
He doesn't know what's happening to him right now?
You are coming with me. Come here, Ko Seung Tak.
Be careful, Nurse Jung.
Nurse Jung, get a grip!
If you're in a coma, you can't possess people's bodies.
But somehow, you can.
- That jerk. Where is he, Dr. An? - Who's "that jerk"?
My surgery was perfect.
You think the Cardiothoracic Surgery started without an oath?
That day when you grabbed the scalpel,
were you trying to kill me, not save me?
