Episode 7
Dr. Park!
Stop it. Don't do that!
Dr. Park! What do you think you are doing?
Dr. Park!
What's wrong with you?
What's going on?
Professor Kim, what's going on?
There's pain in the upper abdomen, and she's got abdominal spasms.
There's a possibility that the abscess burst in the intraperitoneal area.
It may have caused peritonitis.
She needs a surgery! Hurry! Hurry!
Shut up, and go to the on-call room.
Prepare the operating room, and set up the ultrasound.
What about the surgery consent form?
Call the man from the Child Protective Agency.
Okay.
Nurse Jo, please help him to the Emergency Room.
Move Eun Ok! Hurry!
Yes, sir!
- Please move. - Move out of the way.
You can't stay out of trouble just once?
I closed the door. I didn't keep it open.
I didn't.
It doesn't matter how much you blabber on.
Nobody believes you!
I told you before...
To think about how much pain and suffering you cause other people.
You didn't even think.
Not even about Dr. Cha who liked and cared for you.
Why aren't you inside the operating room?
I'm sorry.
Lift your head.
Are you Park Shi On's parent?
Are you begging for his forgiveness?
It's my fault, too.
I don't want to hear it. Just get inside.
As predicted, the abscess ruptured inside.
- It's pan-peritonitis. - The pus spread faster than expected.
- And the volume is large. - Is it possible for the abscess to burst inside?
I've seen case studies, but it's my first time seeing it in person.
- How will you access the abdominal area? - I will cut in vertically below the umbilicus.
Three or four centimeters will be enough.
- Can we start? - Yes.
How many are injured?
I see.
What's wrong with this hospital?
I came for my daughter to get better, but she keeps getting hurt.
- I'm just going to transfer her. - I'm sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - That won't cut it!
It hurts, right?
What do we do?
What's wrong with you?
Do you know what's happened?
I know I closed the door. I checked before leaving.
Shut up!
Who do you think you are making excuses?
I'm serious. I'm serious.
You're finished.
Don't ever think about coming back to this hospital.
Director Kim!
It's a good thing you're here. I'm figuring out the damage...
Will you leave us alone for a minute?
Fine.
Suction.
We'll take care of the abscess first.
Will we be able to remove the urachus immediately?
We must remove the abscess completely.
Any excess will cause a recurrence.
We must remove the necrotic tissue around the area.
I'm worried because of her poor health condition.
Her recovery won't be easy.
Dr. Han, prepare a lot of saline and two drainage tubes.
Yes, sir.
Please prepare warm saline and two large drainage tubes.
I mean it. I mean it.
I didn't keep the door open. I didn't.
You probably didn't.
I know how careful you are.
And I didn't mean to hit that man. I don't hurt people.
- I don't like getting hit, either. - I know.
Shi On.
Yes.
You've been learning how to treat kids, but now...
You need to learn what it means to take responsibility.
I really didn't do it.
I know, but that's not how other people think.
Sometimes you need to take responsibility even if you are not at fault.
If I didn't do it...
why do I have to take responsibility?
As the manager of the Pediatrics Surgery Department...
I apologize for this catastrophic occurrence.
I'm very sorry.
Frankly, I'm not very surprised.
Didn't we expect this?
I will ask Dr. Park to leave.
Something that should never have happened inside a hospital has happened.
And there are no excuses regarding that.
Without taking the formal steps...
with my authority as the director, I will ask him to leave immediately.
If I may...
after releasing Park Shi On, what about the promise you made to step down?
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I don't think this is the time to talk about that.
I don't think it's your place to talk.
I'm one of the officers here. I have every right to speak.
Please stop.
I will keep my promise.
We can finish the matter concerning Park Shi On here.
But, we should discuss the director's position at the board meeting.
Not now.
Why do I feel that you are so kind these days?
What do you mean?
It seems like you care about Director Kim and Dr. Park.
Did it seem that way? I wasn't trying to be kind.
Really?
Maybe I'm wrong.
You should have discussed it with me before making the decision.
Why were you in such a hurry?
No, it's better to make a quick decision.
They'll push for a board meeting to force you to resign.
I'm ready to face that.
I can earn some time.
Until the funding problem gets resolved.
In the meantime, I'll think of a solution.
- You don't need to. - No.
If you are not around, I don't think I would be able to do anything.
Tie.
Tie again.
One more.
Metzenbaum.
I removed the suspected urachus residue at the bladder sinus.
But, there's a chance of recurrence, so we need to watch her closely.
There aren't any more dangerous variables?
For now. You can finish up here.
Yes, sir.
Squirt.
Suction.
- Yes. - How was the surgery?
I just finished.
We just had an emergency meeting. And a decision's been reached.
What decision?
Dr. Cha.
The professor told you to stay in the on-call room.
I came because I was curious about Eun Ok's surgery results.
It went well.
Her urachus was removed, too.
Oh, yeah...
I closed the door before leaving. I didn't leave it open.
I can't lie.
The manager and Professor Kim say that I did wrong.
Even though the director believes me, he says I still did wrong.
I don't understand.
Do you also think that I'm lying?
Didn't you say that you believe in me?
Go back to the on-call room.
Now.
I can understand that we have to let Park Shi On go.
But, you don't need to quit, too.
I already made a promise in front of everyone.
You can overturn that promise.
I've never broken a promise.
This is a promise that you can break.
There's no need to stick to principles for people like that!
There are no promises in this world that you can break.
- Professor... - Don't say anything.
You've worked hard, Do Han.
Thank you.
If I become the director and your brother-in-law becomes the chairman...
what do you get?
I don't have any greed.
I just want my colleague and my family...
Did your brother-in-law say that he'll make you director of one of the branches?
- No, I'm going to focus on the patients... - I must be right.
I can tell.
I'm going along with your plan, but...
Do it right.
Otherwise, it will be the end for the both of us.
Don't you know how to knock?
Are you happy now?
- What are you talking about? - You know well what I'm talking about.
We don't know, so say it with your own mouth.
Never mind.
That will just put the two of you to shame.
- Kim Do Han! - I can't stand your dirty tricks.
- Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? - How dare you talk to us like that?
You think this is the end?
One of these days, you two will get what you deserve.
There's no surveillance camera in that area. It's impossible to get a video file.
What about the lock system?
The system on that door doesn't get reported to the central server.
That lock was installed by the Pediatrics Surgery Department.
Then there's no way to check who came in and when?
No.
But, the system registers the ID for the ten most recent entrants.
Pretend to do an inspection, and access the list of entrants.
Don't let anyone know.
And give me the list of people who entered that room around that time.
I can't understand.
Those trashy men, and the director for letting himself lose to them.
It's not like he didn't know... It's the director's fault for showing his weakness.
He shouldn't have allowed Park Shi On in here in the first place.
Why did he bring that kid to our hospital?
Frankly, you look pretty incompetent, yourself.
You are mad, but there's nothing you can do.
You are full of passion, but you have no power.
Powerless to settle this sort of problem.
You are going to keep disregarding my offer?
If you just do what I say, this sort of situation is no problem at all.
You should get changed.
Excuse me?
Why should I get changed?
First, you should go home.
I'll contact you.
No, I need to see Eun Ok. I need to go to the ICU.
This is the end, Shi On.
Starting tomorrow, you can't come back to the hospital.
There's not one person who believes me.
I'm going to change Sung Eun's injection prescription to an oral administration.
- Please let her take it twice a day. - Sure.
There aren't any kids who are seriously injured, right?
No, fortunately not.
The kids are okay, but the parents are very upset.
What's going to happen to Dr. Park now?
Dr. Cha!
It's about Dr. Park Shi On.
The lobby is that way.
I want to say good bye to Dr. Cha Yoon Seo.
Just go.
I have to say good bye to the people at the ward, too.
There's no need. They don't have any fond memories of you.
From now on, don't cause trouble to anyone you meet.
Don't ever think that you are capable of doing something on your own.
And...
Lead a life that fits you.
That's the last warning I can give you.
Why aren't you picking up the phone?
Park Shi On!
Hey, Park Shi On!
Park Shi On!
Yes...
This may be better for you.
Yi On, I'm sorry.
I'll do better next time.
I'll become a doctor.
Park Shi On.
Don't collide with the world.
If you can, avoid it.
If you can, hide from it.
Please.
Are you awake?
You have to align your heart to the animal's heart
and use the magnetic field surrounding the two hearts.
That way you can form a good relationship.
That's the first rule in communication with animals.
Where's my niece?
Eun Ok!
This is a hospital. Please be quiet.
Why should I be quiet? Give me my niece!
Who told you to have the surgery? Who gave you permission?
According to medical law, a friend or a temporary guardian's consent is enough to perform surgery.
You think that makes sense?
What kind of a hospital is this?
- How is it that you didn't get convicted? - Convicted?
I got released with a warning. Now what?
What wrong did I do? I fed her, and I raised her.
- Hurry, and bring me Eun Ok. - She shouldn't move around right now.
She'll be discharged after the treatment.
Why? So you can get paid for keeping her here?
Bring her now!
You are going to raise her like a dog again?
Why do you care whether I raise her like a dog or a cow?
Why don't you just give her up for adoption?
- Dr. Nam... - How dare you...
A nine year old can't even talk.
She has psychological problems, and she's got a ton of health problems.
How can you call yourself family when you made her like that?
How dare you talk to me like that?
Please...
Who cares if you are a doctor?
Why are you butting into my family business?
You can't take Eun Ok!
If you want to, go to the court, and bring papers.
Seriously...
Please, don't do this. Let's go.
What's wrong with that woman?
Seriously...
Look here...
What is it?
What do you take the doctor for?
Shut your mouth, and do as the doctor says... Otherwise, take this to court!
- What's wrong with you... - If you do this again...
I won't just let it pass.
Then, what are you going to do?
If you are curious, I can show you.
Besides a nurse, I got plenty of things to do.
The elevator wants to go.
Hurry, and go.
I took care of her.
How can they release her with just a warning?
No way.
I've seen cases like this before.
If they don't have clear evidence of physical abuse
they just give a warning for the first offense.
And the Child Protective Agency just comes out to inspect.
They will die like this.
They'll seriously die.
What do we do about poor Eun Ok?
It would have been better if Dr. Park was around.
Dr. Park really liked her.
Did Dr. Park go somewhere?
Is he getting punished?
He quit.
Oh my God...
Did he get fired?
Enough. No more questions.
He got fired, right?
How can they cut him like this? He was here just this morning.
Why are you getting mad at me?
What's wrong with this hospital?
He didn't do anything majorly wrong.
Dr. Park, I'm in so much pain. I think I'm going to die.
In Hye, what's wrong?
Dr. Park...
I...
You see...
My heart aches...
I'm getting goosebumps saying that.
You... lied to me?
You are the one who was ignoring my calls.
Where are you?
Dr. Park closed that door before, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Then, how did that puppy girl come out?
What's wrong?
I feel bad for him.
You're not scared of him?
No, I'm not scared. Not anymore.
I'm still scared.
Me, too.
He never smiles.
He just stares at you.
My mom said that he's a little crazy.
How can a crazy person be a doctor?
That's what she said!
Even though he's crazy, the hospital picked him.
No.
He's not like that.
You are all mistaken.
In Hye!
You heard about Park Shi On?
Yes.
I saw him in the lobby.
I wanted to say something to him.
But, I just let him go.
I know what I would have said.
'Go, and beg for forgiveness.'
'Make excuses.'
'Hang in there until the end.'
But, I couldn't say any of those things.
Like you said, I thought this may be better for Park Shi On.
I think you made the right decision.
You are wiser than me.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, thanks to you.
You should take the medicine for the next day or two, and rest.
Thank you, doctor.
I don't mean to be rude, but do you have a husband or any children?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a personal question.
No...
My husband is far away.
And I have one son, but he is far away, too.
Then, you are not alone.
It's just that you are apart.
I guess that young male doctor is working right now?
Yes.
He is taking care of the patients.
The kids like him, and he's very talented.
I bet his parents are very proud of him.
I don't lie.
But, why don't people believe me?
You're really here?
Why are you here?
You told me before that you were on your way here.
You can't come out, yet. What if your condition get worse?
I don't have a fever or anything. I'll just stay for an hour.
But...
why are you here when you're not even a kid?
I wanted to come here while I'm in Seoul.
Because there's a lot of robots here.
You can't break the robots here like you did to Seo Joon's robot.
You can't touch the ones here.
It says not to touch over there.
Why do you like robots?
Because they listen to me, and they believe me.
Robots stay still.
No matter how much I talk.
They stay still, and listen.
I think he was very disappointed.
That nobody believed him.
Shi On is right about that.
Shi On can never lie.
Within the therapeutic sessions for autism...
There are cases where they teach patients to lie for therapeutic reasons.
But, I couldn't even get him to lie.
Then, how was he able to go to school, and adjust to society?
As you know, it's thanks to his memorization skills.
His studies, the concept of good and evil, the principles of the world...
He memorized everything needed to survive in the world...
No, he memorized everything about the world.
But, he couldn't understand anything irrational or unjust.
Dr. Park talked a lot about his brother, but he never talked about his parents.
When Shi On was eight, they both left home, leaving Shi On behind.
After that, they were never found.
I took care of him since then.
I see.
But, Dr. Park would recognize his parents if he saw them now, right?
Shi On froze himself in the happy memories that he had with his brother.
To be more exact, he locked himself in those memories.
And, he erased everything else from his memory.
The faces of the parents who abandoned him.
Memories.
Everything.
The reason why Shi On has such a child-like image is not only because of autism.
As I said, it's because he doesn't try to escape from his past.
Like Peter Pan.
- Can we get some more noodles? - Sure.
- Can we order some extra rice cakes, too? - Sure.
It looks so good.
It smells good, too.
You can't even eat this. Why did you come here?
Just watching someone else eat makes me full.
If I'm the one eating, why are you getting full?
You need injections...
Never mind. Just hurry, and eat it.
This is not the only hospital. You can go to another hospital to become a doctor.
If you find a new hospital, let me know.
I'm going to get transferred there.
Professor Kim Do Han and Doctor Cha Yoon Seo are better doctors than me.
Patients have the right to pick their own doctors.
To me, you are the best doctor.
Don't get upset that you got fired.
Got it?
Potato.
[Woo Il Kyu]
- It feels empty in here. - What do you mean?
Dr. Park Shi On...
It feels weird that he's not here.
What do you mean? I'm so happy that he's not here.
You feel the same way, right?
To be honest, I feel more sad than happy.
What about you?
I'm not sad.
We didn't do enough for us to miss him.
None of us.
Where did you go again?
- I just went to get some air. - For three hours?
And you didn't pick up your phone, either.
I felt a bit suffocated, so I went to meet my friends.
Still, you shouldn't have gone out. What if you get sick again?
- Your sister will get worried. - I'm sorry.
But since you brought it up...
you aren't going to do anything about my sister?
What?
She doesn't even come much because she feels awkward around you.
Then, you should make her feel comfortable.
I don't like men who give up easily.
In Hye, sanitize your hands before going to sleep.
You want to ask why I came in without ringing the bell?
You didn't even pick up your phone calls, I'm sure you wouldn't have opened the door.
Follow me.
Where are you going?
To the library.
I don't want to study right now.
This is the library? There's not even a single book.
He's a fresh face. Who is he?
Say hello.
He's the owner of the bar, and an uncle to all the medical students.
Hello, my name is Park Shi On.
That kid?
Do you know how to drink?
I never drank before.
Your seniors in college didn't give you any?
They did, but I didn't drink it.
I hate the smell.
If I give you some, will you drink it or not?
I will drink it.
Cheers.
Hey!
Are you drinking poison?
Don't go back to your hometown tomorrow because you are fired.
Have dinner with me this weekend, then go.
Are you still disappointed with me?
Because you think I don't believe you?
It's okay that people dislike me.
But, it's not okay for me to become a liar.
I trust you.
But, that trust is not something you can gain from everyone.
It's too hard.
I don't know much about that.
Shi On.
When you move to a different hospital, why don't you think about a different field?
There are a lot of research jobs, too. I think that would fit you.
No.
I must become a surgeon.
Even if you are not a surgeon, you can save children.
No.
I want to see kids smiling, and I want to treat them with my own hands.
If you only insist on becoming a surgeon, you may never become a doctor, at all.
I'll still do it.
No matter what.
I understand.
To celebrate our first drinking together, you can drink everything here.
What?
You should learn how to drink. It'll help you to get along in society.
Don't worry, and just drink.
Get drunk!
I'll take you home safely.
Why don't you get drunk?
You drank so much more than me.
I don't know why I don't get drunk.
Once I got used to it, it just seemed like water.
You're a natural.
Hey!
Don't you want to curse out people?
I can't curse.
I don't like cursing, and I don't like listening to them, either.
Still, just do it.
Here we go.
Hey you bastard! Listen to me!
It's you again?
Yes, Mister...
- It's been awhile! - Shut your mouth!
Hurry, and crawl home!
You think I'm a dog? Crawl back?
You should shut up, and get to sleep.
What?
Stay there! I'm coming down!
Run.
- What? - Hurry and run.
Shi On.
Even if you cause trouble everyday...
it would be good if you didn't have to leave.
Don't go.
I heard that only the smartest students willing to work hard
apply to the Pediatrics Surgery Department.
I guess you are an exception.
Your grades...
But...
Your grades jumped all of a sudden.
Let's see...
Your advisor was Professor Ko Choong Man.
May I ask why I'm here?
Reason?
Why did you leave the hospital room door open?
Excuse me?
What do you mean?
I don't like that kind of a response.
I don't know what you are talking about.
On a good morning like this, you are going to fool around with me?
I'm going to leave for Tae Back today.
Already?
You can stay for a few more days.
No.
I want to stay with the orphanage kids there.
Why are you leaving so soon?
- I told you to stay until this weekend. - No.
I need to go now.
The orphanage kids want me to come back.
Then, you should leave when I'm there.
I was going to do that, but it didn't work out.
Why?
I don't know why.
I just thought it would be better to leave when you are not home.
If you leave, you aren't coming back to Seoul?
I don't know.
But...
I don't think I'll come back.
I'll go visit you on my vacation.
- Are you listening? - Yes.
I'm going, then.
Goodbye.
There's nothing wrong with her vitals, so I moved her to this room.
- How should we handle her diet plan? - Start with water.
Give her nutrients through injection. And use antibiotics.
Yes, sir.
Her guardian was here?
She's not someone you can talk to.
Focus on the treatment for now.
Don't worry about anything else.
What's next?
In an hour, Kyu Suk's surgery is scheduled.
Okay. Get ready.
Yes, sir.
How did you get this?
You don't have to be so shocked.
We should fix the things that are wrong.
I should be grateful, but I'm a bit taken aback.
I don't know what you think about me, but I'm not so one-sided.
I want to keep both the pediatrics surgery department and Park Shi On in our hospital.
- I'm thankful that you think that way. - But, I need your full support.
And this will be our secret. Nobody else can find out.
Hello.
You brought this again?
It's nothing.
Thank you.
Where's Dr. Park Shi On?
Dr. Park Shi On? What is it about?
I wanted to thank him for something.
Dr. Park Shi On quit yesterday.
Why didn't you tell me that he quit?
I don't know why I keep crying?
You can keep crying, Shi On's mother...
So, that's why he didn't recognize me...
That might be better.
Then, you've been following Dr. Park around?
Yes.
Since Choon Chun.
I've never left his side since then...
A lot of time has passed.
I think the two of you can meet now.
No.
I'm going to wait until Shi On remembers me.
So, please pretend you don't know. Please.
Eun Ok, you aren't sick anymore, right?
Eun Ok is fine now!
I'm sorry.
For not being able to stay with you until the end.
When you leave the hospital, I'm going to take you to visit my hometown.
There are pretty flowers there, and lots of space to run around.
Until then, you have to stay healthy and well.
Okay?
Thank you, Eun Ok.
Are you going to perform the surgery on Min Woong using the latest technology?
What happened to the robodoc we ordered last week? It should be in by now.
I'll ask the head nurse at the operating rooms.
Okay.
The pediatric robodoc was approved last month. Why was it cancelled?
It's been deferred because of the funding problems.
What?
In addition, I think the funding for your department will decrease further.
We can sacrifice for our lowered paychecks.
But the pediatrics robodoc is different. We can't use the adult ones.
You know well that the return on investment is very low for the pediatrics robodoc.
We can't just think about financial returns. The hospital must make some sacrifices!
I want to help, too. But, it's outside my control.
The vice president is in charge of budget allocations.
Don't focus on these trivial things.
Face the reality of the hospital.
Why are all of the requests from our department being denied?
Even the nation's top hospital won't invest in the pediatrics surgery department?
We are short on tools and manpower.
In order to invest, we must be guaranteed something in return.
The Academy for Pediatrics Surgery is still working on lowering the cost of medical fees.
- We need some sacrifices from the hospital, too. - Professor Kim.
I'm a doctor, too.
You treat patients, and I treat corporations.
My job is to diagnose and prescribe treatment for the sick departments.
In a way, we have a lot of things in common.
No, a person is not a corporation.
No?
I'm sorry for making an incorrect connection.
Please re-evaluate our department budget.
Before that, I have something to tell you.
I want to see the best pediatrics surgeon...
performing the best surgery...
in the best atmosphere.
I will make that happen.
Vice President, it's Kim Do Han.
What do you want?
I brought a cop to escort Eun Ok home.
Instead of a cop, you should have brought legal court papers.
This woman again...
I want to bring home my niece, why do I need those papers?
You can't take her now.
You can take her when she's done with her treatments.
There's an ambulance outside. I want to take her to our neighborhood hospital.
She is the legal guardian.
Please help her out.
We can't do that. She came out of surgery yesterday.
Then, why don't you leave her here for awhile?
What do you mean? I'm going to take her now!
We can't force anything. Please compromise with each other.
It'll be a headache if this has to reach the courts.
Compromise?
I'm going to do as I wish!
Excuse me, I said no!
Seriously!
No!
You can't take Eun Ok!
Never!
Dr. Park.
----
You ungrateful kid...
It's a common symptom of first love.
- I think the child wants to stay here. - I feel like I found a long-lost brother.
We should have kicked him out.
- You can't do this! - I've never seen you so angry.
- Vice president, please leave the hospital. - I'm on the same team as you now.
Now, I know what that feeling is.
No!
