You're back already.
I heard you were being investigated.
I don't think it's over already.
I told you so.
You're not good enough
to operate on Chairman Shin.
Look how it ended.
Because you were stubborn,
you're going to lose
another one of your favorite pupils.
You little
Teacher Kim.
You have a visitor.
A visitor?
Hi.
Teacher Kim.
I'm here.
You said I should be hospitalized.
Just as you ordered,
I delivered your message to him.
Why are you still standing there?
Show me the way to my room.
When did I ever tell you
to go out of your way for me?
I'm sorry, Chairman Shin.
I'm afraid there's been a mistake.
You're not ready to get hospitalized.
What?
-Teacher Kim.
-I know you came a long way,
but I'm afraid you'll have to head back.
-As soon as we're ready, we'll--
-What are you doing right now?
Didn't I tell you that you're suspended?
He's suspended?
-Hold on.
-Until the investigation is over,
you can't perform
any kind of medical treatment.
If you fail to comply with this order,
you may be put at a greater disadvantage.
And who exactly are you?
What do you mean he's suspended?
Who says?
I can explain, Chairman Shin.
-The thing is--
-Teacher Kim.
You explain.
Explain this situation.
Who are those people?
The hospital is under investigation,
Chairman Shin.
Hey, Dong-ju.
The main hospital sent down
investigators here for some reason.
I don't understand the reason
behind their hostile attitude
towards the medical staff here.
Shut it.
Why should I?
We're the ones being
investigated unjustly.
Kang Dong-ju.
Chairman Shin.
You're the chairman of
the foundation of Geosan Medical Center.
May I file a complaint to you
regarding this unreasonable treatment
from Geosan Medical Center?
Ms. Ju.
Yes, Chairman Shin.
Call President Do.
-Chairman Shin.
-Bring him here
and get him to explain
this situation himself.
-Now!
-Yes, Chairman Shin.
Tell me what I did wrong.
Why did you get Chairman Shin
involved in this?
I couldn't just let them
do this to Seo-jeong.
I was looking for someone
who could bring us a solution.
And you thought that person
was Chairman Shin?
The only person who has
the upper hand on President Do
is the chairman of the foundation.
And Chairman Shin is
on your side.
I knew that you were an idiot,
but you are dumber than I thought
and clueless of how this world works.
What?
I see.
Chairman Shin is asking for me?
He is,
but you don't have to come down here.
You can leave it to me.
I'll see how things go
and try to sort it out.
That's unnecessary.
Pardon?
What do you mean?
They had no intentions of
making this into a big deal.
You did them a favor
and handed over what they wanted
on a silver platter.
I've been wondering
how I was going to confront that
old man with this issue, anyway.
This is good for me.
They made it easier for me.
I just need to report the facts.
Who knows?
Maybe it's better for you this way.
President Do will be glad of your service.
Seo-jeong is screwed though.
Don't you think that's a bit harsh?
She's screwed?
You don't have the slightest clue
of what kind of a man President Do is.
That man.
He will do just about anything
to get what he wants.
And Chairman Shin appointed
such a man as the president
just to play his own game.
Do you think he is on my side?
Don't be absurd.
All he wants is just my operation.
That's it.
You idiot.
President Do
is on his way here.
What are you going to do?
I will just hold out.
If they want,
they can bite me.
There is
not much I can do for you.
Eat this when you get
the munchies or something.
How did you first come to know Dr. Bu?
Did someone introduce him to you?
He saved my life twice.
Can you explain that in more detail?
One time,
he saved me when I got lost
in the mountains.
Later on,
he treated my wrist injury
which could've been a death sentence
to me as a doctor.
He saved me twice.
No.
There is one more thing.
He just saved me again
in the operating room.
So I'd say he saved my life three times.
Do you still feel like killing yourself?
I'm asking you if you still feel suicidal.
Times of disregarding wounds.
People are willing to
disregard other people's wounds
for their own interests.
In order to keep their prestige,
people never care
about other people's pain.
And
I'm asking you if you still feel suicidal.
It's your fault.
I died because of you.
People can't even look after
their own wounds.
I'm sorry.
They all turn their faces away
from the reality or their wounds
in the name of self-defense.
The investigation itself
is very irritating.
Then Chairman Shin and
President Do are here now.
What is going on?
Do you think Chairman Shin
called President Do
to give him an earful?
I don't know.
I heard Teacher Kim was suspended
because of Dr. Yun. Is that right?
You should get back to work.
The situation is bad as is.
Stop making a fuss.
Okay.
Don't concern yourself too much about it.
Just do your job as if
nothing ever happened.
Okay?
I don't know what the fuss is all about.
I told you to send some devices
to this hospital.
I didn't say anything
about the investigation.
Please don't get me wrong, sir.
I just tried to honor your wish,
doing my utmost
for your operation by sending
competent doctors to this hospital.
-But
-But?
I was reported
that the whole situation at the hospital
was a mess.
Go on.
Because of lax security,
an armed man even walked
into an operation room.
That's not it.
He left the patient alone
with that man after the surgery.
Fortunately, no one got hurt
thanks to Teacher Kim.
He is even accused of
overtreating a patient
who can't afford to pay.
Saving the patient comes first.
Medical bills come next.
How do you explain the fact
that the doctor
who suggested the expensive treatment
has a history of PTSD?
PTSD? What is that?
It means post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dr. Yun
completely recovered two years ago.
I heard that she recently took
an overdose of nervous sedative.
President Yeo and Dr. Bu
overlooked the fact,
knowing all about it.
It is a dereliction of duty.
Stop beating around the bush
and get to the point.
What is it you really want?
What I'm saying is that
I can no longer overlook
any unreasonable medical treatment
happening in this lousy hospital.
I can't let them
operate on you in this mess.
Please reconsider your decision
on Dr. Bu operating on you.
That was it.
You want to stop Teacher Kim
from operating on him.
Is that why you are making all the fuss?
Watch your mouth!
Stop it. That's enough.
-Chairman Shin.
-It's about my surgery,
and it is my decision.
So that's the end of the matter.
I will have the operation here
as I planned. End of discussion.
Just fire the doctor with PTSD
and knock it off.
That's my answer to the question.
No, sir. Dr. Yun is--
Just do as I say, President Yeo.
Gosh.
Chairman Shin, you are not
getting the point.
What did you just say?
It's me who President Do wants to fire.
That's the point.
Isn't that right?
At least,
you should bear the responsibility
for having the doctor with PTSD here.
Do you have the medical diagnosis already?
Does it say she has PTSD?
Or is the interview just out of formality
when the diagnostic results
have already been decided?
She won't get away
with the overtreatment either.
What ER doctors do is
saving a life no matter what it takes.
Blaming them for overtreatment
is like blaming someone
for opening a parachute
when a plain is crashing.
So what?
Do you even know
the size of hospital deficits every year?
Don't try to give a lecture
on business to a doctor.
Doctors can't make a living
just with his skills anymore.
There are doctors
only when there is a hospital.
How could you say that
as the president of a hospital?
You said that in the wrong order.
There are doctors
only when there are patients.
That's the basic principle.
You think?
I wasn't aware that the basic principle
is that important to you.
Sure. Let's do that.
I will proceed with the investigation
per our hospital policy.
Also, the doctor
who is assumed to have PTSD
will be held responsible
according to our principles.
President Do.
As the person in charge
of Geosan Medical Center,
I must do this by the rules
and principles of our hospital
for the discipline
of our hospital community.
Are you all finished talking?
Make sure you catch something.
I don't care how long it takes.
Yes, President Do.
What is it?
I'm sorry.
I keep disappointing you.
I became a doctor
because I wanted to be recognized by you.
You are the one
who gave me the dream to become a doctor.
And so ungratefully,
you betrayed me.
Teacher Kim,
it's your turn to back down.
I understand that you think
dearly of your colleagues.
But will you shut this place down
just because of her?
What should we do?
I don't think we have a way around this.
Why does it have to be Yong-ju?
Why were you hiding behind him?
There was an accident,
and he helped me.
Did you hide your PTSD symptoms
because he told you to?
I was treated for three years,
and I believed I was fully recovered.
I'm asking about what he said
to brainwash you!
Teacher Kim didn't do anything wrong.
Things got out of hand all because of me.
It's because I wasn't good enough.
So
if anyone has to be responsible,
that will be me.
I will
quit.
This is unfortunate.
I thought of you
like my own daughter.
I guess that wasn't your case.
If you really needed help,
you should've asked me.
President Do.
We will continue our investigation,
and we'll process everything
according to the rules.
I'll take this moment
as the end of our relationship.
Are you looking for something?
Can I help you?
No, thanks.
Well
Have you seen Dr. Yun?
Dr. Yun?
She was here early in the morning,
but I haven't seen her since then.
Oh, I see.
Thanks.
Excuse me, Dr. Kang.
Do you want me to call you
when Dr. Yun gets here?
Will you do that?
Thanks.
Excuse me. Have you seen Dr. Yun?
No, I haven't.
Oh, really?
Dr. Yun.
Is he getting any better?
No.
We still have to wait and see.
How long do we have to wait?
It feels like I'm holding
onto a hopeless situation.
The treatment and ICU costs are
extremely high.
I don't want my children to be burdened.
I know things are hard,
but please don't give up.
Please keep saying
positive things to the patient.
Am I
doing the right thing?
Was Dr. Yun here by any chance?
I think I saw her at the ICU.
I'm not sure if she's still there.
I see.
These patients are hanging
between life and death every day.
But is everything we do
always correct?
Seo-jeong. What brings you here?
Am I perfectly prepared
to take the responsibility
of a person's life?
What are you talking about?
What do you mean Seo-jeong is missing?
I've searched the entire ground,
but I still haven't seen her.
She won't pick up her phone.
I think she heard
about your suspension
at the emergency room.
-Teacher Kim.
-Hey.
Seo-jeong just stopped by my restaurant,
and she asked me to give you this.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
A letter of resignation?
-When was she there?
-It's been about 10 minutes.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
TEACHER KIM
Where are you headed?
Your call cannot be connected
Is she not picking up?
She probably won't.
She must've been determined
when she wrote this resignation.
You go find her.
How would he find her?
We have to look for her
no matter where she went.
I have a condition.
You have to bring her back within today.
If you don't,
I'm processing her resignation.
Do you understand?
Dr. Kang, I'm glad to see you.
Your car has
-just arrived.
-That's great.
Well
I have to go now. Let's talk later.
The car is
It's brand new.
DOLDAM HOSPITAL
JEONGSEON INTERCITY BUS TERMINAL
We're here.
Where are you planning to go?
I'm not sure.
I don't really know
now that I'm actually here.
I haven't been to Seoul for a while.
Maybe I should go sightseeing
by the East Sea.
Isn't there anywhere you want to go?
No, there isn't.
-Anyone you want to see?
-Nobody at all.
What a sad life you're living.
I know.
It is a sad life.
The more you know about me,
it gets even sadder.
Stop saying things like that.
You'll scare people away.
I'd rather be scary
than people taking me lightly.
I could give you a ride to Seoul
if that's where you're headed.
Aren't you going back to the hospital?
I'm taking a day off.
A day off?
What?
Dr. Do is taking a day off?
Yes, apparently.
Then get Dong-ju to do it.
Dr. Kang was on call last night.
He's not at work today.
Then get Teacher Kim.
Did you forget?
Teacher Kim is suspended as of today.
Are you saying that
I'm the only general surgeon here
at the moment?
I guess so.
It looks like that's the case.
Over here, Dr. Jeong.
-Are you okay?
-It hurts.
-Please hang in there.
-It hurts so much.
Over here, Doctor.
TICKE
BUS FARE AND SCHEDULE
The number you have dialed
is not available.
Seo-jeong?
I don't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
Dr. Jeong!
Did you take CT scan
of the RLQ pain patient?
I have a patient right now.
I'll talk to you later.
I'll go check on it.
JERK
JERK
In-beom. It's me, Dong-ju.
I'm listening. What is it?
You and Seo-jeong knew each other
in the old days, right?
I'm looking for her right now.
Do you know where she might be?
She's with me.
She can hear you right now.
You can talk to her.
Where are you right now?
We're on our way to Seoul.
Return to the hospital right now.
I don't think I can do that.
We're on the expressway already.
Are you listening, Seo-jeong?
I know you're going through
a rough time right now,
but you can't just hand in
a letter of resignation.
You wrote a letter of resignation?
Come back right now. Come back, Seo-jeong.
Seo-jeong.
Hey.
Why did you tell him I'm with you?
You didn't say I couldn't tell him.
And why would you tell him
we're going to Seoul?
Because he asked me where I was.
Oh, my goodness.
Why did you write a letter of resignation?
It's none of your business.
Just keep driving.
You're really scary, Sister.
I'm seriously not your sister.
Seoul? Where in Seoul?
I don't know the details.
I'm following her to Seoul as we speak.
Don't you think you'll be late
if you make the round trip?
I have to do everything I can for now.
Okay, then.
By the way, it's a total chaos here.
We all forgot about it
with President Do on our backs,
but today is Friday.
Where's the suture set
and Lidocaine I asked for?
It's only been 10 seconds
since you asked for them.
Gosh.
What kind of a senior doctor
stitches up wounds?
You should loosen the tie.
Do head nurses have a say
in doctor's ties?
Mr. Park.
Are you okay?
Please lie down.
Did you eat something that's been spoiled?
I had rice and soup in the morning.
I must have scarfed it down.
My stomach hurts so much.
Did you have diarrhea?
My stomach is rumbling, but I haven't yet.
I threw up several times.
Is there anywhere else that hurts?
My chest does.
Excessive vomiting
can cause pain in the esophagus.
I'll give you some injection
for acute gastritis.
Please give this patient
metoclopramide IV and hydration.
Yes, Doctor.
It's okay. I can do it.
I'll do it.
You should give her that injection.
Thank you, Yeon-hwa.
-What are you doing?
-What?
I thought she had something on her neck.
It's a traffic accident patient.
She's bleeding on the forehead
and the right calf.
The blood pressure is 90 over 60
and dropping fast.
I'm going to go insane.
Doldam Hospital emergency room.
Yes. Okay.
An attempted suicide patient
is arriving in five minutes.
He jumped into a river.
What?
Ms. Woo?
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Are you not working today?
The investigators from the main hospital
told me not to.
You do know that today is Friday, right?
There are emergency specialists
from Geosan Medical Center here.
There's even a chief surgeon.
What are you so worried about?
They're doctors, too.
It's a fall patient.
He's losing consciousness.
Doctor.
Over here, Doctor.
You call yourself a doctor?
Get yourself together!
Do you think Dr. Yun will come back?
I do have a strategy.
I'm so happy.
It feels like my body is releasing
endorphins just by looking at them.
Look at you being all formal
with your fork.
That is no way to treat pizza.
Hold it in your hand
and stuff your mouth.
Got it?
You're a mama's boy, aren't you?
I bet you've never played with dirt
when you were young,
let alone running away from home
or rebelling against your parents.
"What is rebelling? How do you do that?"
-Are you always so talkative?
-Who? Me?
No, I'm on the quiet side.
You've been talking by yourself
all this time.
That's because you're not saying anything.
I didn't want to kill the mood.
I was being considerate
not to make you feel uncomfortable.
Are you sure
it's not because you're anxious?
Why would I be?
Isn't the resignation letter you wrote
bothering you right now?
The call from Dong-ju is bothering you.
The fact that you're with me here
is also bothering you.
You're just filling the silence
not to show that these things
are bothering you.
Forget it. Let's eat.
Yes, I'm extremely bothered.
I feel awful because
I left my closest group of people
with just a letter of resignation
and without saying goodbye.
Why did I do that?
I should've hung in there
and begged for mercy.
Why did I turn in a resignation letter?
The only place I can go is
Doldam Hospital.
Really,
the only place I can
go to is Doldam Hospital.
Exactly.
Why did you run away out of fear?
Nothing is decided yet.
It's not like the neuropsychiatrist
made a diagnosis,
and that cardioplegic patient
did not die yet.
Am I wrong?
PRESIDENT DO'S SON
JERK
PRESIDENT DO'S SON
JERK
Hello?
Where are you?
Are you still with Seo-jeong?
Let me talk to her.
Put her on the phone!
I can't do that.
What?
She left before finishing her food.
She said she had to do something.
GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER
Hello, Doctor.
What brings you here?
I came here to answer
that unanswered question.
Then you're a bit too late.
I just sent my diagnosis to President Do.
Not even once.
Not ever.
I never thought about killing myself.
Even when my mom died,
even when I got
into the accident with Dr. Moon,
I
wanted to live.
That's why I was distressed.
It wasn't about the guilt
of surviving everything by myself.
I wanted to live.
I wanted to live despite all that.
That's why I felt sorry.
Dr. Yun. Why did you become a doctor?
I thought
I would be recognized
if I became a doctor.
Did you ever want to quit being a doctor?
Every single moment.
Every single time
I make a decision for my patients.
I see.
Could you
give this to Teacher Kim
of Doldam Hospital?
GEOSAN MEDICAL CENTER
That's my diagnosis about you.
I thought I would
pass this onto them as well.
Goodbye.
Above patient's symptoms show
that she suffers
from an acute stress disorder
which was caused by recent events.
Symptoms do not show
signs of PTSD per DSM-5.
Further observation is not necessary.
You idiot!
I gave the diagnosis to her.
Thankfully, those were
the answers I wanted to hear.
I almost lost my conscience as a doctor.
How is Hyeon-ji doing?
Do you still remember my kid's name?
Of course.
She was
the youngest patient of mine.
You know, about that Doldam Hospital.
I think I know why
you are at that hospital.
Please make the right assessment.
Seo-jeong's life
as a doctor is in your hands.
Please make the correct assessment
without the outside pressure
from President Do.
Dr. Yun is absolutely needed
at Doldam Hospital's ER.
Please do not ruin her life
with your nonsensical diagnosis.
Look at these.
These are letters of gratitude
from Dr. Yun's patients.
I thought they could help
with your diagnosis.
Please make the right assessment.
If you make any weird diagnosis,
I am writing a petition right away.
I hope you could make
the right diagnosis
as a respectable doctor.
Well, I guess so.
They are all very feisty.
Please do not lose against
President Do this time.
Bye.
SYMPTOMS DO NOT SHOW
SIGNS OF PTSD PER DSM-5
Thank you.
How did you find me?
An informer told me.
What about you?
Are you finished here?
Yes.
That's good, then.
Let's go.
Are you coming?
-Are you crying?
-No.
It's because of the cold air.
Do you know how your eyes
tear up when you are
suddenly exposed
to a bright light or the cold air?
It's exactly that.
My goodness, it's so cold.
Isn't it?
Look.
Is this the first snow?
I guess so.
It's so pretty.
I guess so.
Your hand is cold.
I'll hold your hand
until it gets warm.
Would that be okay?
By the way,
isn't today Friday?
Why did you take me to the hospital?
Just let me die.
A jerk like me should die.
You're ridiculous!
I just saved your life.
I can't think of anything.
I want to draw anything.
I haven't been able to draw
for the past three years.
So you're the one who saved me.
You should've let me die.
In-su, help me.
Please stop it.
Mr. Gu.
Please let go of him.
Didn't I tell you
that you shouldn't wear a tie
in the emergency room?
-Dr. Jeong.
-Yes?
You treat him.
I can't stand it anymore!
-Please calm down.
-Let go of me.
Dr. Song, Teacher Kim is
in the ICU right now.
What is he doing there?
He's just
sitting there.
What should I do?
What do you mean?
He's just sitting there.
What do you want me to do?
-Ms. Ji.
-Yes?
You don't see what's going on here?
Can't you see how chaotic it is?
No one is helping.
Ma'am.
It hurts so much.
I really think she has aerodermectasia.
AERODERMECTASIA: PRESENCE OF AIR IN THE
TISSUES JUST UNDER THE SKIN
-Miss, please help me!
-What's wrong, Ma'am?
Can't you breathe?
Please.
Doctor!
Doctor!
What should I do?
Miss.
What should I do?
Yeon-hwa.
Mr. Park.
Go bring Teacher Kim.
He's probably in the ICU.
Bring him here right now.
Hurry.
It snowed in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province
and Gangwon Province
for the first time this year.
It stopped snowing in an hour,
but the cold wind starts to blow
this evening,
-and the temperature will drop.
-I'm glad it's not a heavy snow.
-Aren't you?
-As the road may freeze,
-please be careful when driving.
-This could be more dangerous.
-The road becomes like an ice rink.
-The temperature will be between
LOST PROPERTY PROCESSING VEHICLE
I hate when it snows.
It makes our work even harder.
Let's hurry up and go home.
It's so slippery here.
Be careful.
The road is so slippery.
In the emergency room?
Yes, Doctor. We have a problem
in the emergency room.
I think you should come.
INTENSIVE CARE UNI
I think she has aerodermectasia.
Did you say she did this?
Yes, I think so.
Where were the doctors
while she was doing it?
Please give her antibiotics first.
Call Dr. Song.
Call Dr. Nam and tell him
we have an emergency surgery
for a Boerhaave's syndrome patient.
Yes, Doctor.
-Please calm down.
-Can anyone help us?
-Please lie down.
-Let me die. I should die.
Hey! Be quiet!
I can't treat other patients
because of you.
Sir, hello.
Get treated and just go home. All right?
Yes, sir.
What just happened?
He comes to the emergency room
quite often.
I heard he's a webtoon artist,
but I haven't seen his webtoon before.
Oh, no. What should I do?
I think I need you to disinfect this cut.
Please bring me a dressing set.
-Ms. Woo.
-Yes?
Could you explain what happened
with the patient?
We'll be there in 20 minutes.
What will Teacher Kim say?
It's obvious.
You stupid brat.
You're so weak-minded.
How can you be a doctor?
Can you still call yourself a doctor?
No. You're an orderly.
As a mere orderly,
how dare you run away after leaving
just your resignation letter behind?
What are you doing?
I sounded like him, right?
Never do that again, Seo-jeong.
Never disappear again
without telling me anything.
Don't do that. Okay?
You're acting up again.
Promise me.
Fine. You can talk to me like that.
Just for today.
No!
I heard you are Chinese.
Is that right?
-Yes.
-Are you a medical student?
Ms. Woo.
We are not scolding you.
We are just trying to grasp the fact.
We need you
to answer our questions honestly.
Teacher Kim.
Dr. Song is not answering the phone.
He's not answering his phone,
and he's not in the hospital.
Please go downtown.
I think he's left for the day.
What?
How is that even possible?
He knows the situation at the hospital.
How could he leave like that?
I will
perform the surgery.
Go prepare for the operation.
Will you be okay?
It doesn't matter if I'm okay or not.
Please get ready.
You just violated our instructions.
We clearly told you
it could cause you harm
in some way if you did so.
Mr. Park.
Transfer the patient to the operating room
and prepare for the operation.
Yes, Doctor.
Stop it right now.
What if something goes wrong
with the patient?
-Step aside.
-It seems you are
trying to use the patient as an excuse.
You can't do that.
I told you to step aside.
And I said, no.
You jerk.
Seo-jeong, are you all right?
-Did you get hurt?
