Yes, I had surgery late into the night again.
Can't say. I'm not sure if I'll be free this weekend.
What about you?
Is that so? That's nice.
- Master Kim? - Master Kim!
All right then.
I'll call you at the residence. Okay, bye.
Master Kim! My goodness, Master Kim!
My gosh, what happened?
What should we do?
Master Kim, are you okay?
Master Kim!
(Dr. Shim Hye Jin)
Hello? What's up?
What? Who collapsed?
Did I keep you waiting?
No, I just got off work myself.
But I think we have another emergency patient.
Let's lie him down.
Set up two IV lines and give him IV hydration.
- Okay. - How are his vitals?
110 over 70. 110bpm.
His body temperature is 39.1°C.
Connect an IV for propacetamol.
- I want to see his FAST. - Okay.
I also need a suture kit.
Here you go.
What's going on, Manager Jang? Do we have another patient?
Hey, Mr. Park. This is really bad.
It's Master Kim.
What's going on?
What happened to him?
I think he got injured in the bus accident.
I can't believe he performed surgery in this condition.
Fortunately, he doesn't have internal bleeding, so don't worry.
But just to be sure,
let's have him take an X-ray after the suture is done.
Okay.
Cut.
Tape, please.
Let's move him. Please get ready.
Okay.
I'm fine.
- Master Kim. - Master Kim.
Master Kim.
Sir.
There's no need to cause a fuss.
I don't need...
to take an X-ray.
But you might have a rib fracture.
You should get it checked.
If it was that serious,
I would've felt something by now.
You shouldn't move around yet. Lie back down.
I'll lie down in my office.
Sir, please. You should sleep in the patient's room tonight.
Let us keep an eye on you until tomorrow.
He's right. You should listen to him.
It's okay. I won't die.
Will you please listen to us?
Don't be too startled. She's just setting things straight.
Do you think we're worried that you might die?
Just let us check your condition!
We're only asking you...
to get hospitalized for a day! Why are you being so stubborn?
You're only making it hard for everyone!
I can take care of myself, Ms. Oh.
If you could take such good care of yourself,
why were you collapsed in your darn office?
That's because I was just...
If you got injured, you should've told us...
that you got hurt...
and let us treat you first!
Do you think you're the only doctor here?
How could you be foolish enough...
to keep it a secret until things got out of hand?
Look at everyone!
They can't even go home because of you!
Look at how worried they are!
My gosh, I'm really okay. What's wrong with everyone?
Your doctor will judge if you're okay or not.
You're a patient right now,
so just listen to your doctor.
You know how difficult it can be when patients don't cooperate.
So I'll keep it short.
Please show everyone how you should behave...
as a patient!
Okay, Master Kim?
End of situation.
And like always, Ms. Oh has won.
I'll lie down.
Okay.
Gosh, it hurts. Slowly.
We're going to move him now.
He really has a knack for surprising people.
Let's get back to work.
Let's go.
Ms. Oh.
Are you okay?
So?
How is Boo Yong Joo doing right now?
Okay.
Keep going. Tell me what happened.
(Personnel Record)
(Manager: Jang Gi Tae)
(Head Nurse: Oh Myung Sim)
(Surgeon: Nam Do Il)
(Surgeon: Seo Woo Jin)
This jerk.
Does it hurt anywhere else other than the sutured area?
I was in a rolling bus,
so what do you think? My entire body aches.
Does it hurt anywhere else other than your bruises?
No.
Dr. Bae, you told me the X-ray came out fine.
Yes, it was fine.
What about your hand? You had a problem with it in the OR.
I just had a small cramp.
Do you have any other symptoms...
other than CTS?
You seemed to have a little problem with your elbow as well.
That is, if I wasn't mistaken.
What do you want to know?
Your current condition.
I don't think it requires the attention of a general surgeon.
But I'm your doctor in charge.
If you tell me your symptoms, it'll help with the diagnosis.
It's late. You guys should go.
- Sir. - You said I'm a patient.
And a patient should get good rest.
Stop bothering me and get back to work.
I want to get some rest.
What are you all still doing here?
I wanted to hear...
how Master Kim is doing. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.
I was eating dinner nearby.
And I got a call just as I was about to have my first bite.
I just left my food on the table and ran out of the restaurant.
How is Master Kim?
The X-ray came out fine. His fever went down as well.
I think he'll be fine once the stitches heal.
- Thank goodness. - I'm so relieved.
But he still needs to get good rest.
So we should let him rest tonight.
Okay, let's do that.
He doesn't like it when people cause a fuss.
If he finds out that we're here, it'll be enough to stress him out.
Okay, I guess we should all...
go home for tonight.
Okay, great work.
- Great work. - Goodbye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye.
What does he mean to you?
- What do you mean? - I'm talking about Master Kim.
What does he mean to you, Ms. Oh,
and all the other staff at Doldam Hospital?
I suddenly want to know how much he means to everyone.
(Name: Master Kim, Doctor: Seo Woo Jin)
My goodness. I can't stand lying still.
How's the bed?
Is it uncomfortable?
It's fine.
I think I'll sleep well tonight.
I'm sorry about earlier.
What?
I shouldn't have...
yelled at you in front of everyone.
It's okay.
Not a single thing you said was untrue.
Your collapsing...
is like Doldam Hospital collapsing.
Do you know that?
They'll run a few tests tomorrow morning.
Sleep well.
Okay.
Goodnight, Ms. Oh.
It's me.
The task you suggested.
I'll take it.
I'll head over there tomorrow.
(Chapter 11: Minimum Boundaries)
(Doldam Hospital)
Why do I feel so tired and lethargic?
I must have gone crazy.
I ate all this?
Good morning.
Ah Reum, you're here early.
Did someone eat here late last night?
I guess so.
Couldn't they at least clean up?
Some people eat and others are left to clean up.
Right, Ah Reum?
Right. I'll throw it away for you.
No, I can manage that just fine.
Open the windows and air the room.
Good morning!
Good morning.
What?
Why?
What?
Did you eat something in here last night?
No, I didn't.
What's that look for?
It really wasn't me.
I'm on a diet!
I can't believe that I just lied.
My face is so puffy.
What should I do?
Gosh. Mom would faint if she found out.
She'd smack my back.
(Doldam Hospital)
(General Surgeon Seo Woo Jin)
(Cardiothoracic Surgeon Cha Eun Jae)
This punk.
He's hiding out here.
(General Surgeon Seo Woo Jin)
Who are you?
Excuse me.
Who are you looking for?
Haven't you heard?
He's a whistle-blower.
Hyun Joon's hospital...
Hyun Joon?
- Hello. - Hello.
Was the ICU quiet overnight?
Woo Jung Tae's saturation fell in the early morning,
but Master Kim...
Master Kim?
What are you doing here?
You're here.
Woo Jung Tae.
His saturation fell last night.
You must check the ABGA...
and do an oxygen titration, so watch him closely.
Ms. Lee.
How is Jung Ga Young's CBC follow-up?
After the transfusion, her hemoglobin count went up to 10.1.
But the hemovac drainage color doesn't look too good.
How much is there?
Not that much.
If the amount increases,
call me right away.
- I'll do that. - Thanks.
Return to your bed.
Hey. The stitches are healing well,
my fever's gone and I feel great, so what for?
You must've heard about the tests this morning.
I was just slightly hurt,
and I had a fever because I caught a cold.
Why should I be tested for that?
Are you that bored?
Get out of the way.
If you're that free,
check on more patients.
Is it because of them?
What are you talking about?
The reason you keep hiding your injuries.
It's because of the people here.
Because these people can't do anything without you,
and you can't afford to get sick.
That's why you keep hiding it.
In case they get worried and anxious.
But...
I'm not sure if that's good for you.
A relationship in which everyone relies solely on you.
I'm not sure if that's right or good.
And you are...
hiding your pain to live up to that. It's...
What about it?
It's old-fashioned.
The technical term for that is "a darn show-off".
- Another term is... - Get diagnosed.
And get treated.
Okay?
Is Woo Jin ghosting your messages or something?
Beats me.
I did text him to call me when he gets in,
but he has no response.
Why are you here to see him though?
Did you know that it's your fourth time asking me that?
Is that so?
What's the matter?
Are you worried that I'd hurt him in any way?
No, of course not.
He must be running later than usual today.
He should've called by now.
Give him a call yourself then.
- Right now? - Yes.
Right, then I'll give him a call.
Dr. Seo.
Dr. Seo?
He isn't here at the moment.
Do you have any idea what the time is?
Where on earth are you?
I'm in the ER.
What? You're still home?
Eun Jae, what are you talking about?
We bumped into each other in the staff room.
Don't you remember?
What's with your voice though?
Are you sick?
- Me? - Describe your condition.
You have a fever and your body is aching all over?
Eun Jae, you're scaring me.
Gosh, I see.
You probably won't make it to work today.
What a shame.
Hyun Joon came by to see you today.
Who can blame you when you're sick?
Yes, of course. I'll tell Hyun Joon that...
so get some rest.
Sure.
What's wrong?
That was Dr. Cha,
- but she was acting weird. - Dr. Cha?
A visitor came from Seoul...
and she escorted him to the staff room.
Why though? What made her sound so weird?
Woo Jin is sick today, Hyun Joon.
Is that so?
He must have a bad cold.
You see, this hospital might seem...
like the slowest place on earth,
but it's the opposite.
Trauma patients come flooding in...
and he had to perform at least two emergency operations a day.
I guess the exhaustion caught up with him.
I'm terribly sorry about this.
What did he say when you told him I was here?
Sorry?
- What did he say? - Oh...
Well, he was extremely thrilled...
to hear that you came by.
It's why he feels terrible...
for not being able to meet you in person.
He said he'll visit you in Seoul...
as soon as he can.
Woo Jin said that?
He feels awful about this?
Yes, of course.
What is it?
Is something the matter?
You must think I'm a fool.
I don't follow, Hyun Joon.
You think little of me because my reputation was tarnished.
What? Of course not. When did I ever say that?
Give me your phone then.
Why?
You said you just talked to Woo Jin.
I'd like to call that number myself.
Give me your phone.
He's not here either.
Woo Jin, there you are.
What's wrong? Do we have an emergency?
No, but you're needed in the staff room.
The person you called is unavailable.
(Seo Woo Jin)
The person you called is unavailable.
Woo Jin?
You said you had a cold. How come you're at work?
How's your fever? Are you still shivering?
Why on earth did you come here?
Get out. Nothing good will come out of this.
Just get going.
Leave us.
What are you going to do?
It's fine. You can leave us.
Are you all right?
Your phone call left me worried,
so I came looking for you.
This is bad.
Those two shouldn't come in contact.
Why not? Who is that man?
Well, at Samjin Hospital,
the two used to work together.
Samjin Hospital?
I heard that Boo Yong Joo was hurt.
From what I heard, it's nothing serious.
Are you aware of his possible carpal tunnel syndrome?
Yes.
But still, you didn't inform me of that.
I'm disappointed.
I thought we were on the same side.
Excuse me for saying this, but I don't side with people.
What I trust are my hands, the art of medicine,
and my beliefs.
The people at Doldam are way more competent than I expected.
It'd be a good idea to have them transfer to Mirae Hospital.
Do you really believe that's an option?
That day,
you told him to choose one or the other.
Which will it be?
Your livelihood...
or your pride?
I'd like to start a game.
Mr. Park, what are you doing here?
What's on your mind?
It's Master Kim.
I'm worried about him.
What if this is our fault, Ms. Oh?
What do you mean?
The reason you keep hiding your injuries.
It's because of the people here.
Because these people can't do anything without you,
and you can't afford to get sick.
That's why you keep hiding it.
In case they get worried and anxious.
What if that's why he keeps overexerting himself?
What if that's true?
Yes, Seo Jung.
Right.
Well, I just opened the file...
you sent me yesterday.
Right.
The article regarding necrotizing mediastinitis...
was quite interesting if you ask me.
Is that so?
Then you'd have the progress report by next week.
Right.
Of course. Everyone's fine here. Same old, same old.
Yes.
We're all in good shape too.
Worry more about your own health, Dr. Yoon.
Sure, keep in touch.
(Oddball Project)
Why aren't they saying anything?
It's making me even more nervous.
Should we call Mr. Koo?
How long has it been since the incident?
Over a year?
It's been just over nine months.
Right.
I had business to take care of here,
but then I found out you worked here too.
I was curious as to how your life was,
but you don't seem bad at all.
Is that so?
Haven't you been wondering about me?
How have you been?
My life is a mess, that's what.
My medical license was suspended for three years...
and I lost the house...
to pay back the loan I took out for the hospital.
My credibility plummeted...
and my marriage ended.
It must've been hard.
So have you been making enough here?
Did you pay back all your debt?
Seriously?
Are you still being chased by those loan sharks?
If you have nothing more to say, I'll get back to work.
Do you want me to recommend you to a nicer place?
He's approaching Dr. Seo.
- Why? - Should I enter?
It's nothing big,
but...
I've been connecting decent doctors...
to those that need them.
Call me a scout if you want.
I'm in connection with a few rich hospitals, you see.
In terms of salary, you'll receive at least 150 percent more.
And that's negotiable, of course.
Just 30 percent of your first yearly salary comes to me.
- What do you say? - I'm not interested.
Okay, fine. 20 percent.
You get the family-and-friend discount.
You should look elsewhere.
You punk.
You haven't changed a bit.
You don't feel sorry at all,
do you?
I can say that same for you.
You have no remorse...
for what you did.
Do what you came here to do then.
Woo Jin, are you all right?
Are you okay?
Dr. Seo, are you all right?
What is this?
We didn't know how things would escalate.
I asked him here, just in case.
Just give me the signal.
Do you want me to take care of him?
No, it's fine. You can go back to work.
Didn't you read my text?
I can't believe you just barged in there like that.
I had a plan in motion...
to cover for you, you know.
Anyway, what did Hyun Joon want?
Is he here to talk to you specifically?
How did he know you were here?
He can sure hold a grudge.
I can't believe...
he sought you out after all this time.
What did he say?
Did he swear at you?
Verbal abuse or threats are enough...
to call the police.
That's right. Tell me. You can tell me everything.
Do you need a lawyer?
I can introduce you to my mom's best friend.
- Eun Jae. - Don't worry about the cost.
I'll ask for a discount.
I'll make sure that you get the minimum retainer.
If it's still too much, I'll lend you some money.
Why do you keep sticking your nose in my business?
Because...
I heard the rumors.
Everyone's been pointing their finger at you,
but Hyun Joon violated the rules.
He received money under the table,
used excessive treatment, and had someone else operate.
Isn't he embarrassed to call himself a senior doctor?
We can't blindly cover for our colleagues, you know.
I truly believe...
that other doctors should be more strict in this matter.
So there's no need to be intimidated.
Age doesn't give everyone seniority...
and respect should be earned. All right?
I get that,
but why are you so invested in my business?
How thick are you?
I'm worried about you!
Would you...
feel burdened in any way if I said that?
Then I apologize.
It's not exactly burdening.
Oh, good.
Still, it would make me...
toss and turn for a few nights.
"Does she have feelings for me or not?"
"Am I supposed to wait for her?"
That's what I'd be thinking.
If I said that,
am I crossing the line?
How are his vitals?
130 over 80, 125bpm.
His temperature is at 37.2℃.
Give him a liter of normal saline...
and half a bottle of pethidine on the side.
Mr. Park?
Yes, Ms. Oh.
Sir, I'll examine you while we prepare the IV.
Please roll over on your back.
Lift your knees up for me.
I'll check your abdomen.
I see you've received surgery before.
What kind of surgery was it?
Last summer, I got surgery...
to get my gallstones removed.
Do you think something went wrong with the surgery?
No, I'm sure that's not what this is.
If something went wrong,
you would've had symptoms right after the surgery.
Let me examine your condition.
This looks like panperitonitis.
Sir, we're going to give you a shot.
It's an opioid pain reliever,
so you might get dizzy and nauseous.
- Let us know if you feel that way. - Okay.
Please run pre-surgery tests while giving him the shot.
Let's go ahead and take an X-ray.
Lie down comfortably.
What's going on?
Okay, I'll get ready right away.
Dr. Yang, leave everything on the table once you're done.
I'll clean the dishes when I come back.
Another ER patient?
He has panperitonitis due to ulcer perforation.
I'm done eating.
Why don't you clean the dishes now?
A 47-year-old male...
with panperitonitis due to ulcer perforation.
His vitals are stable.
Any underlying diseases?
Six months ago, he had GB stones...
and received a cholecystectomy.
Then there might be a surgical adhesion.
Did you call Dr. Nam?
Yes, I did.
Dr. Nam won't be here.
What do you mean...
Dr. Nam won't be here?
We never got a call from him.
It's panperitonitis due to ulcer perforation, right?
I'll be in the OR, Dr. Seo.
Keep that in mind as you prepare for surgery.
What are you saying, Dr. Yang?
You don't want me to work at Doldam Hospital anymore?
Did I hear you correctly?
Yes, you did.
Here you go. It's from President Park.
Here.
Bye then.
(Termination of Contract)
(Doldam Hospital)
- Is Dr. Nam not answering? - The receiver cannot be reached.
No, he's not answering.
What if something happened?
Shouldn't we tell Master Kim?
Later.
I'll look into what's going on...
after we're done with the surgery.
As for Master Kim,
we should let him rest for the day, Dr. Yun.
Okay.
Do you think everything is okay?
Yes, of course.
Hello, I'm Shim Hye Jin, an anesthesiologist.
Can you tell me your name?
- Song Chang Gi. - And your surgery?
I'm receiving surgery for gastric perforation.
Let's begin the anesthetization. This is oxygen.
Don't be nervous, and take in a deep breath.
(Termination of Contract)
This is a 47-year-old male patient...
with panperitonitis due to ulcer perforation.
May I begin the surgery?
Yes, you may begin.
Scalpel.
Forceps.
Bovie.
Hey, Dr. Yang. You're a little late.
You're awfully nosy.
Are you even going to keep track of when I come to work?
No, I was just saying hello.
Where is Woo Jin?
- He's operating on an ER patient. - Again?
Why does this hospital get so many ER patients?
I asked everyone to get ready to greet the VIP patients...
starting from today.
Yes, sir.
Okay, I'll be right there.
My gosh.
Hey, I want you to come with me.
Why? I'm not a general surgeon.
Come with me and fill in for the missing doctors.
Why are you pretending like you don't understand?
Just do as I say.
Does he think he can boss me around just because he's my senior?
What's taking you so long? Aren't you going to come?
Yes, I should go. I'll be right there.
I hate myself for being like this.
Thank you for coming such a long way.
Dr. Park, you have such a peculiar taste.
I don't get why you decided to come here.
- Is this really a hospital? - Who is he?
I don't know for sure.
But apparently, he's the son of someone really famous.
My gosh, what's that?
Is he the founder of the hospital?
This is a sculpture of Hippocrates.
Oh, Hippocrates?
But why did a foreigner come all the way here...
to build a hospital?
What? He doesn't know Hippocrates?
Hey.
I can hear you.
- Where should we go? - Manager Jang.
Oh, okay. It's this way. Please follow me.
Where is Woo Jin?
He's operating on an ER patient.
I want them at the ER station starting from today.
Okay, sir.
Did you do what I asked you to do?
Yes, I gave it to him before I came to work.
What are you doing here?
Well, he asked me to...
Your job is done. You can go now.
But I thought you wanted me to fill in...
Just go, okay?
What's wrong with him?
I hate him so much.
They will be helping you out starting from today.
Ms. Oh is in charge of organizing the nurses' schedules.
You can't just take over like this.
I have no choice.
It's President Park's orders, so please cooperate.
I'll tell Ms. Oh once she's free. Bye then.
- Excuse us. - My gosh.
What's going on, Dr. Yun?
I don't know.
(Oddball Project)
It's strangely quiet today.
(General Surgery, Family Medicine)
- Master Kim. - Yes?
What are you doing here?
The hospital's so strangely quiet,
so I came to look.
Where is everyone? I don't see anyone.
We have someone with panperitonitis due to ulcer perforation
They'll all be in surgery.
A panperitonitis patient?
Why wasn't I called?
You're sick.
They wanted you to rest.
Who are those people at the nurse station?
They're the nurses who came with Dr. Park.
My point exactly. What are they doing there?
I don't know.
They must be here for a reason.
When will you get surgery for your CTS?
Let's talk about that another time.
Instead of dragging it on, just get it done.
The sooner you recover, the better it is for us.
You know that.
What?
They took over the ER nurse's station?
Yes. Ms. Uhm and Ms. Joo are almost out of their minds.
Ms. Oh let that happen?
She's in the OR...
and doesn't know about this.
They took over while Ms. Oh was in the OR?
What a smart move.
Dr. Nam's not answering his phone either today.
We called to notify him of the surgery,
but no one can reach him after that.
I have a bad feeling about the way things are going.
Does Master Kim know about this?
No. Ms. Oh said we should give him the day off.
Why?
I don't think this is that kind of situation.
Master Kim's hurt.
- Where? - You didn't know?
He was hurt in the bus crash...
and there was a ruckus last night.
Where? How badly hurt is he? Is it serious?
It's not that bad,
but Ms. Oh and Mr. Park are very concerned about him.
They're afraid we'll burden him.
I see.
I had no idea.
(Master Kim)
Hi, Master Kim.
What's up?
Something happened at the restaurant and I couldn't leave.
Of course, there's nothing wrong.
How are you feeling?
Ms. Oh is worried sick...
that you're already out of the ward.
Can't you come and talk to her for me?
She's giving me a hard time right now.
Okay. Bye.
Fortunately for him, the adhesion's not too bad.
I'll look for the perforation first.
This is a choledochojejunostomy.
(Anastomosis of the common bile duct to the jejunum.)
What is it? Is anything wrong, Dr. Seo?
The patient said he had...
a cholecystectomy because of the gallstones.
I think the surgeon made a mistake with the common bile duct.
The common bile duct is connected to the jejunum.
Did they cut off the bile duct while removing the gallstones?
I think so.
Why? Is that a problem?
The patient didn't mention his bile duct.
Let's move on, Dr. Seo.
What do you mean?
The patient could not have told you after hearing the explanation.
Or...
the operating surgeon hid the truth.
Isn't that what you want to check?
Ms. Oh, record this for me.
- Ms. Gang. - Okay.
It's being recorded.
Dr. Seo.
The panperitonitis patient.
Let's cover it up.
- What? - The bile duct.
Let's not tell his family about it.
Why do you always want to cover things up?
I don't know who operated on him,
but if the doctor really didn't tell him,
then he or she will be liable for it.
One should pay if they did wrong.
It's not like the patient suffered from a side effect.
It'll go away if you just keep quiet.
Don't make a fuss out of it.
A patient has the right to know...
what happened to their body.
And the doctor should inform them.
Do you want to be in trouble like you did at Samjin Hospital?
It'll obviously make you...
look like the bad guy and traitor.
Let it slide and move on, okay?
I'm grateful that you care for me,
but I'll deal with my problems.
He's such a punk.
I don't think you have to worry.
I think that...
he's much more clear-headed than you.
Yes. I understand.
I'll come down now.
Something urgent came up and I have to go downstairs.
Manager Jang, you look after him for me.
Don't you worry.
- Dr. Yang, come with me. - Yes, sir.
First of all, shall we tour the wards?
Before we do, can you give me that girl's name?
What girl?
Who?
How are things going?
It's touch-and-go.
What is going on here?
Will you explain?
We're here on the president's orders.
I never heard of such an order.
Okay?
Talk to Mr. Heo.
We have nothing more to say.
Yes, that's right. It's the president's order.
Even if that's true, this is unheard of.
How could you bring in new nurses...
and put them to work...
while I was away without informing me?
I get that you're upset.
But they won't get in the way of the doctors and nurses.
They'll mostly take calls.
Take calls?
What does that mean?
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
A man fell from a roof while fixing it...
and fractured his knee.
I'm sorry but we're full.
Take him to another hospital.
Another hospital?
Isn't that Doldam Hospital?
It is,
but we can't take emergency trauma patients.
Go to another hospital.
What...
What kind of nonsense task...
Dr. Park's VIP patients will start coming in nonstop.
You'll spend more time...
in the OR than the ER.
You're short-staffed already...
and have only two ORs.
Isn't it the right strategy to reduce emergency trauma cases?
Listen, Mr. Heo.
Doldam Hospital never turns away...
sick or injured people.
And we don't leave them to wander between hospitals.
For years, we have never operated like that.
But in one single snap, you'll ruin...
our reputation like this?
It wasn't my order, but President Park's.
You can make a complaint, but that won't change anything.
I'm sorry, sir.
Hold on.
Are you Mr. Park Eun Tak?
Do I know you?
Did the surgery go well?
Yes. How has your day been?
Well, I stopped by the emergency room and...
Wait. What's that?
It's the recording of my patient's surgery.
His gallbladder was operated on at another hospital,
but his bile duct also had been cut off.
I wanted to check with the patient.
Another surgeon must've swept his mistake under the rug.
Talk about being unprofessional and immoral.
We don't know for sure yet.
All right. Go for it then.
Good luck.
You've got to be kidding me.
"Good luck"? Seriously?
What's with these two fists? This is mortifying!
Yes, Mom, it's me.
What's going on?
I asked the family...
without giving away any facts.
They're not aware of the bile duct being cut off.
Let's...
talk in private.
(ICU)
Ms. Joo, my patient who needs physical therapy...
Please tell him that...
he needs to leave if he won't receive it.
Yes, doctor.
This is Doldam Hospital's ER.
I'm afraid we can't accept any patients. I'm sorry.
So here you are.
What do you want?
You should be proud of yourself for egging Dr. Seo on...
because that has gotten him in a big mess.
What were you going to do with that?
I was going to inform the patient.
But there weren't any side effects.
The bile duct was mistakenly cut by his doctor.
Are you saying that the patient is unaware of it?
It was tied back perfectly...
and it won't affect his life.
Let's say you hit someone with your car.
Just because the victim is alive and well...
doesn't mean you can take off...
without apologizing.
Revealing the truth...
might lead to an innocent doctor getting burned.
If that was the case, that doctor should've come clean.
It wouldn't have been a big deal...
if he had taken responsibility.
In what way?
Being humiliated in trial after trial...
up to the point where he's mentally and physically exhausted?
Then he'll have to pay a fine of thousands of dollars...
just to end up in a state...
where he can't function as a doctor anymore.
Is that the so-called accountability you mean?
Doctors who should be in hospitals are dragged to court,
and instead of writing medical research papers,
they have to spend hours reading up on the law.
Is that what you call as accountability?
So?
I should sweep this under the rug?
I already found out who the previous surgeon was...
and I will call that doctor myself and say my piece.
What's important is the doctor's remorse anyway.
I'd like for us doctors to look our for each other...
and deal with this in a way that doesn't harm...
the reputation and authority of doctors.
Covering up for others saves our reputations...
and concealing the truth helps us maintain our authority.
Is that it?
We live in a world where people...
are waiting to take a bite out of you.
Shouldn't we have our own fence...
where we can feel safe and secure?
A place where people like me who don't obey...
get kicked out of?
You already know what it feels like...
to be kicked to the curb,
so don't make the same mistake twice,
Dr. Seo.
Hand it over.
Now.
Give it to me.
How much should I tell them?
Yes, just stick to the facts...
and what you saw.
Be consistent even in the operation room.
No.
I'll hold onto this.
You know who the doctor was?
Then tell whoever it is to inform the patient.
That doctor...
should explain the original mistake...
and the lack of explanation.
Seo Woo Jin!
I will wait until tomorrow evening.
As a doctor myself, I'd at least do that much.
Do you know who the operating surgeon is?
Must I know?
I feel like you should.
Who is it?
Cha Eun Jae.
My father is a doctor.
Really?
My brother is one and so is my sister.
Come in.
(Dr. Romantic 2)
Park Min Guk has probably already started the reshuffling process.
I want him removed.
Why do you keep putting them up against one another?
That weasel.
For the time being, we won't accept trauma patients.
Will we have our Friday back again?
Does covering up for fellow doctors...
dignify us as doctors too?
Is that your answer?
Why aren't you intervening, Master Kim?
This time, we might actually lose someone.
Can you people take responsibility for Seo Woo Jin's life?
I'm sorry, Woo Jin.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Look what happened to Su Jeong because of you.
I'm so sorry.
That's how Cha Yeong Jin is always ahead of everyone.
She never slacks off. She's always busy investigating.
I'll find you no matter what.
Why did you do that to her?
Why did it have to be her instead of me?
You're my hero.
If anything happens to you,
I would know right away.
It wasn't your fault.
I need to know...
what happened to Eun Ho.
What in the world happened?
