Doctor John (2019) s01e13 Episode Script
Episode 13
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES, AND
ASSOCIATIONS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Save me.
Doctor, I want to live.
Save me.
Save me.
Dr. Cha, please promise me…
that you'll
help me recover
from this illness.
I'll do my best.
I'll give it my best.
So you also
need to stay strong.
Okay, I'll stay strong.
Help me.
I have CIPA.
Congenital insensitivity to pain
with anhidrosis.
He put on a show thus far.
How can someone who has CIPA
treat patients?
I will report him myself.
Lastly, do you have anything to say
to the patients out there
who are suffering from pain?
DR. CHA YO-HAN
I have nothing to say.
Pardon?
There's nothing I can say
to console their pain.
But I promise that
I'll do my best to get rid of,
and reduce the pain that they have.
Dr. Cha, we got the test results,
and the numbers are a little odd.
The galactomannan value needs to be
over 0,5 to be considered positive.
And he got 0,6.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you remember telling me that you'd
leave it to the patients
to judge what kind of doctor you are?
You can break your bones, cut your flesh,
get a burn, and suffer from frostbite.
But you still won't be able
to feel any pain.
So how will it be possible for you
to understand your patients?
Is that why it was so easy for you
to euthanize someone?
Because you think of pain
as something you study
rather than something you feel?
I know it's too late to hold a retrial,
but I'm going to question
your qualifications as a doctor
on whether or not you have the right
to care for the patients.
Are you done?
I'm busy.
I'll get going if you're finished.
Dr. Cha.
Why did you come see me
if you know about my illness
and that I don't deserve
to treat patients?
What did you want to see?
Did you want to see
if I was being honest or hypocritical?
I'm sorry, but as I told you before,
my patients are the only ones
who have the right to decide
whether I'm qualified or not.
Are you confident?
Are you confident that your patients
will continue to trust you
without feeling betrayed
even after they find out about you?
Even in this very moment, a patient
of mine is lying in bed unconscious.
Whether I can save that patient or not,
that's what's important to me.
How are you acquainted
with former Minister Lee Won-gil?
RESTRICTED AREA
Dr. Cha, you need to get over here.
I don't know if he's conscious
or if his eyes are just open.
I can't check because
he can't react to pain.
Gi-seok, can you hear me?
Gi-seok, I want you to follow my finger.
Gi-seok, try moving your hand.
Try moving your feet.
Gi-seok, I want you to blink
if you can hear me.
-Locked-in syndrome.
-Locked-in syndrome.
A CONDITION WHERE YOU'RE CONSCIOUS
BUT CAN'T REACT TO EXTERNAL STIMULUS
Lee Won-gil?
I don't know who he is.
Am I supposed to know him?
What if…
there's a drug that allows you
to die comfortably in happiness?
And what if
someone was to allow you to use that drug?
Die in happiness?
How can there be a drug like that?
Life and death aren't that simple.
If you feel the urge to die
and you see that drug right next to you,
do you think you'll just take it and die?
And even if someone wishes to die,
all living beings have an instinct
to stay alive
up until the very moment
they breathe their last breath.
That's human nature,
and it doesn't change that easily.
And that's why every living being…
is very pitiful.
Hello?
-Did he admit to it?
-Yes.
All that's left for him
is to lose his license.
This isn't enough to make him
lose his medical license.
But we'll at least be able
to get him fired from that hospital.
Once people know they're being treated
by a doctor who can't feel pain,
many patients will start to question
his medical diagnosis.
I want you to calm down first.
Let's think about it.
What's to think about?
I have a lot on my mind
other than this issue.
Let's talk about this next time.
Prosecutor Son.
-Locked-in syndrome?
-Yes.
We must find out what caused it.
Depending on the cause,
the prognosis can be good or bad.
At least, now he can communicate with you
by blinking.
Do you know any of Gi-seok's friends
who could tell us what happened?
Yes. Someone called to ask how he's doing.
Could you ask that friend
to come to the hospital?
Yes. I'll ask him.
We can relax a bit now.
If we just identify the cause…
What is it?
It's nothing.
How much longer do I have
to live as a doctor?
-Dr. Cha.
-You're awake.
-I dozed off.
-You stayed all night?
Did you get some sleep?
Yes. You did a lot of studying.
I found this.
A research team at Clevlend Clinic
is studying pain management
with the CIPA gene.
They should have much more data
and material on CIPA cases.
Shall I contact them?
What?
It's nothing. Can I take a look at this?
Yes.
You must stay strong
if Gi-seok's to have the energy to fight.
At least, now he can blink to communicate.
We made progress.
Right.
That's it. As my mom says, food is energy!
She says that.
Eat up.
Excuse me.
Yes, Dr. Cha.
Gi-seok, did you inject yourself
with steroids while working out?
This. If I'm right, blink once.
If not, blink twice.
Did you go to a new place
other than the gym?
-Where?
-Ask yes or no questions.
Oh, right.
Excuse me.
Just a moment.
Dr. Cha, I have something to tell you.
I met Gi-seok's friend.
Assault? He was assaulted?
Yes. A group of kids bullied Gi-seok.
He was dragged to a warehouse
and beaten up.
A warehouse?
Hey.
Hey, do you really not feel pain?
Hey, does this not hurt?
Stop it.
Hey. Get up.
Stab yourself. You did it before.
-Gi-seok.
-Gi-seok.
I don't do that anymore.
Move.
Is that so?
-I'll make you feel pain.
-Come here.
He hit his head?
Yes.
How about this?
That must've hurt. Oh, no.
Come on, Gi-seok.
-Where do you think you're going?
-Fight back, Gi-seok.
-Fight, Gi-seok.
-Where are you going?
Let's do a CTA.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY
Do you suspect something?
Vertebral artery dissection.
DECREASED BLOOD FLOW FROM INTERNAL RUPTURE
OF A VERTEBRAL ARTERY
Doctor.
The first CT didn't show anything.
If it's acute, cerebral infarctions
don't show up on CTs.
We'll test right away.
What's the matter?
If his vertebral artery is dissected,
his prognosis
will be very bad.
We don't know the result yet.
Let's check first.
VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERS
NAME, EMAIL, MAKE PUBLIC, TITLE
Ma'am, your patient's here.
Okay, thanks.
This garden was made
by the volunteer workers at this hospice.
When they are indoors,
they only talk about being sick.
But out here, they can talk
about beautiful things
such as flowers and trees.
I can't smell the flowers,
but I can hear the birds singing,
and the breeze blowing
through the leaves.
Is that so?
Mom, come here.
-Hello.
-Mom.
Aren't they beautiful?
Yes, they are.
-Are you feeling better?
-Yes, I am.
It may not be easy,
but you mustn't skip your meals.
-Okay. Thank you.
-No problem.
I'm really happy to see you.
Right.
Give me your hand.
Like this.
I caught you. I caught you.
Who's your most favorite person?
You.
You're my most favorite person
in the world, too, Jeong-in.
-It's so hot.
-Is it?
The morning breeze is cold
The wild goose is crying
Please send my teacher
My baby is in there! Jeong-in!
Jeong-in!
Mom!
No?
He had no symptoms.
Still, I'm glad it's not dissection
of the vertebral artery.
There's a footprint.
Do you think this is also
from the assault?
Find out
-where that warehouse is.
-Okay.
-Director, we have a problem.
-What is it this time?
This was uploaded onto our bulletin board.
VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERS
HOW COULD SOMEONE WHO CAN'T FEEL PAIN
BE A RENOWNED DOCTOR?
What is this?
"How could someone who can't feel pain
be a renowned doctor?"
My goodness.
Who'd write such nonsense?
Does this make any sense?
Dr. Cha is a CIPA patient?
We ran several tests
after he was appointed.
There weren't any abnormalities.
It's a genetic issue, a mere recruitment
checkup wouldn't have caught it.
In order to verify this rumor,
we can ask him directly.
Dr. Cha?
Who'd write something like that?
Right? Who'd dare to write
such a groundless rumor
on our hospital's bulletin board?
Hold on. This isn't just any rumor.
This is defamation.
Seeing how this was uploaded
as soon as he appeared on TV,
someone must've been jealous of him.
People who appear on TV for the first time
tend to be mocked by weirdoes.
That must be the case, right?
To be honest, he did seem
a bit strange when he first met Gi-seok,
so I was suspicious.
Was he strange? I had no idea.
-Dr. Lee.
-Yes?
Get the bed ready.
Shouldn't he go to the ER?
No.
He's our patient.
The only thing I can say is that
the impossible has happened.
He's a bit strange.
Right? He kept asking about
the CIPA patient's results.
-Sir!
-He has a fever and is unconscious.
Why did you want to bring him
to another hospital?
I didn't want to cause a scene
at our hospital.
What is it?
Could I know where that warehouse was?
Okay. Please let me know
once you find out the address.
Thanks.
Dr. Kang, we need to talk.
What is it?
Is it true?
What?
Is Dr. Cha…
a CIPA patient?
Dr. Cha!
Did you find out?
Not yet, but…
What's wrong?
Last night, Prosecutor Son Seok-ki
visited me.
He knew about my illness.
It's okay.
I've always kept in mind that
this day could one day come.
What happened?
Sit down.
Dr. Cha.
You promised me.
You said if anything happened to you,
I'd be the first one to know.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Dr. Cha.
Is it true?
How do you think this will unfold?
CHIEF MIN TAE-KYUNG
DOCTOR KNOWN TO DETECT PAIN
IS A CIPA PATIENT?
"Suspicions regarding a doctor
who's in charge
of treating patients being a CIPA patient
have arisen."
PROSECUTOR SON SEOK-KI
COMPETENT DOCTOR AT HOSPITAL
TURNS OUT TO BE A CIPA PATIEN
HOSPITAL IS SEOUL HANSE MEDICAL CENTER
WEREN'T THEY ON TV RECENTLY?
WHY ISN'T THE HOSPITAL RESPONDING TO THIS?
WHY IS THAT ILLNESS AN ISSUE?
SEOUL HANSE MEDICAL CENTER
I'm sorry to have called you all in.
A serious matter arose, so it was urgent.
Dr. Cha, please sit over there.
Please respond truthfully
to our questions.
Is the content of that post
on the bulletin board true?
I'm talking about the post
claiming that you're a CIPA patient.
It's true.
What? A pain management expert?
A CIPA patient treating patients
is a comedy in itself.
There have been no issues or problems
so far.
Nothing has happened yet,
but something was bound to arise.
How could the patients trust you
with their health now?
Did you enjoy observing your patients?
"What is that pain I don't feel?"
You were obsessed, weren't you?
How can such a person care for patients?
How can I not?
The more I observed, the more I saw.
And the more I obsessed, the more I heard.
I couldn't feel their pain,
but their cries never left me.
How could I not care for them?
CIPA is not a lethal contagious disease
or a mental one like schizophrenia.
It doesn't hamper his work at all
or count as a cause for dismissal.
It's true that he deceived us
by hiding his condition from us.
I didn't say we'd decided to dismiss him.
We'll call a disciplinary committee
and discuss what action to take.
Until then, you're excluded
from all medical duties.
As chief of Anesthesiology
and the person who hired Dr. Cha,
I hold myself responsible.
I will accept any punishment also.
Let's discuss that
at the disciplinary committee.
I'll accept whatever decision is made.
But let me say one final thing.
Let me treat Lee Gi-seok.
Lee Gi-seok?
Yes.
We were identifying
the cause of his condition.
I must reach a conclusion.
You're in no condition to see patients.
You didn't seem too well at the seminar.
Dr. Cha, are you in tip-top shape?
Answer me.
Are you well enough
not to disrupt your duties?
It's true that I'm not well,
-but--
-Then I can't allow it.
Until the committee's ruling,
you're excluded from seeing
admitted patients and outpatients.
Kang Si-young.
How did it go?
Are they still talking?
What's happening?
It feels like a dream.
What'll happen to Dr. Cha?
CONFERENCE ROOM
To me, you seemed as if
you had no tomorrow.
So I thought that maybe
you lacked something in your life.
Now I get it.
Your illness which no one can cure.
That thirst.
You wanted to quench it
by treating others.
It would be a lie to say
that's not how I felt.
Dr. Cha.
Are you all in shock?
How did it go?
Did they decide what to do with you?
Not yet.
Until they do,
I'm not allowed to see patients.
I didn't know.
I really didn't know.
If I'd known a little sooner,
I could've understood you,
and done all I could to assist you.
I apologize.
I'm grateful,
but you have no time to waste.
Find out why Gi-seok's sick.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Let's work together.
Do you remember Park Jung-bo?
We'll become your eyes, your hands,
and your voice.
Right. When Father Yu came in,
we were all in different places,
but you led us as a team
and diagnosed him.
We can do this.
You know Gi-seok better than anyone.
I think we've already begun.
Let's go.
If his skin doesn't get better,
we have to switch to an antifungal.
Consult the Division
of Infectious Diseases
before changing the medication.
Also, starting today,
Dr. Lee will be in charge.
Every prescription has to be confirmed
by Dr. Lee.
-Let me know when you need help.
-I'll give you a call right away.
Always keep in mind
that Gi-seok is a CIPA patient.
Due to anhidrosis, he can't regulate
his body temperature well,
and he's infected, too.
Keep an eye on the temperature
of the IV fluids and the room.
Yes, Dr. Cha. We'll keep that in mind.
We'll keep an eye on it.
-You don't have to worry, Dr. Cha.
-You can count on us.
That's all.
Dr. Cha.
I received the address of the warehouse.
3RD FLR SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
I'll go there.
No. I'll go.
Let me come with you.
You should stay with Gi-seok.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
Okay?
Okay.
Dr. Cha.
Be careful.
Is there no C-line?
Prepare a C-line.
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER
Give him phenylephrine,
start him on norepinephrine, 0,1.
It's sepsis.
INJURY CAUSED BY THE BODY'S RESPONSE
TO INFECTION
-Does he need more drugs?
-Another 100mg of phenylephrine.
Yes, doctor.
Don't worry. Focus.
Good.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that
without talking to me first?
I was worried you wouldn't want to do it.
Why?
Were you touched by Cha Yo-han?
He's a hypocrite.
He deceived both his patients
and the hospital.
You talk like you achieved justice
by doing that.
There are many ways to achieve justice.
And you and I are using different ways.
Your way is just wrong.
Fine, it's all my fault.
Your anger was misdirected
from the beginning,
and I failed to stop it.
-Hey.
-How could you do that?
-Murderer!
-Hey!
Was it out of resentment?
-Step back!
-Murderer!
Why did you do that?
-You're trash!
-How could you!
Please step back!
Keep away!
-Why did you do that?
-Murderer!
You murderer! Bring them back!
Stop them!
SEUNG-YOO
Oh, no…
Are you okay?
JEONG-IN
-Move!
-Step back!
-Coming through!
-Step back!
-Mom! It's hot!
-No, Jeong-in.
-Jeong-in! Come out!
-Mom!
-It's hot!
-Jeong-in! Where are you?
Come out!
After only six years in this world,
my daughter died a painful death.
Jeong-in! Come out!
I wanted the killer to suffer
more than my daughter did.
You murderer!
And Cha Yo-han ended his suffering.
Bring my child back!
You burned Jeong-in to death!
Your death will be even more painful!
You'll die in a fiery pit!
You murderer!
Since Jeong-in died,
there has been no dignity in my life.
But why
should Yoon Seong-kyu die with dignity?
Is it wrong to be angry about that?
Prosecutor Son.
Prosecutor Son! Are you okay?
Prosecutor Son!
Help! We need help here!
Prosecutor Son! Hurry up. Prosecutor Son!
3RD FLOOR, SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
Hey, kick him harder!
Kick him!
Does that not hurt?
Does this not hurt? I bet it does.
You can't go anywhere.
Kick him harder.
Oil?
Run a brain MRI, MRA,
-and phlegm check.
-Did you find something?
TEST TO DETECT INFECTION
IN RESPIRATORY TRAC
DR. CHA YO-HAN
His immune system had been suppressed
due to the steroids.
He inhaled dirt that was drenched in oil.
Due to nocardiosis,
an abscess was created in his brain stem.
It must've caused the locked-in syndrome.
The ulcers on his shoulder
must be a symptom of it.
I'll run the tests right away.
Is the rumor true?
Did Dr. Cha really have such a secret?
Yes, sir. I wasn't aware of it either.
Perhaps
we will be better able to convince him.
Should I arrange a meeting?
I'd like to meet him as soon as possible.
I don't think
I have much time left.
I understand, sir.
How could you be ill? How?
After losing Seung-yoo,
there was no pain
that was greater than the pain
of losing my child.
But…
I felt a substantial amount of pain
that made me forget my sorrows.
Yoon Seong-kyu must've suffered
hundredfold or thousandfold.
Yes.
You deserve that for killing my son.
That was what I thought.
But as time passed,
I became afraid.
I was afraid
that when that time came,
I'd search for someone
who'd deliver me as well.
And is that…
Cha Yo-han?
It doesn't matter who it is.
Because if that time comes,
not only will my body die
but my soul will die as well.
The number you called cannot be reached…
I've never seen this occur here.
Me neither.
They're currently conducting
the phlegm test.
You got the results.
His blood vessels are fine.
Just like Dr. Cha said,
there is an abscess.
We'll only know for sure once
the phlegm test result comes back.
Judging by his symptoms
and the radiological findings,
nocardiosis seems like our best bet.
ACUTE OR CHRONIC INFECTION OF THE LUNGS
The phlegm test result
won't come back anytime soon.
Should we trust him and administer
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
and imipenem?
A TYPE OF ANTIBIOTIC
Let's do that.
It's a tricky area, so we'll need
to discuss with Neurosurgery
on the surgical removal.
-Okay.
-Please tell Dr. Cha.
Okay.
Once Gi-seok recovers
due to this diagnosis,
Dr. Cha's suspension will be lifted,
right?
Isn't it ridiculous
to kick out someone so competent?
You're right.
-We should--
-I'll--
I'll talk to Gi-seok's mother.
The number you called cannot be reached…
KANG SI-YOUNG
The number you called cannot be reached…
The number you called cannot be reached…
DR. CHA YO-HAN
Please…
Please…
The number you called cannot be reached…
The address is Seongjin-ro 144-2.
I think a man has collapsed. Please hurry.
Seongjin-ro 144-2?
We're on our way.
How is the man's condition?
-I don't know.
-Sorry?
What did you say?
I said I don't know!
He doesn't know if he's in pain
even when he is!
KANG SI-YOUNG
They're gathering a disciplinary committee
for Dr. Cha.
We've had problems
ever since he joined us.
Let's deal with Dr. Cha.
I think I found a way to help Dr. Cha.
-What is it?
-We'll work in two teams.
Yoo Ri-hye got this text?
Isn't it strange?
They never recruit people like this.
Something like the Cherubim video happens,
Death Talks could become a murder site.
Don't you ever get sick.
ASSOCIATIONS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Save me.
Doctor, I want to live.
Save me.
Save me.
Dr. Cha, please promise me…
that you'll
help me recover
from this illness.
I'll do my best.
I'll give it my best.
So you also
need to stay strong.
Okay, I'll stay strong.
Help me.
I have CIPA.
Congenital insensitivity to pain
with anhidrosis.
He put on a show thus far.
How can someone who has CIPA
treat patients?
I will report him myself.
Lastly, do you have anything to say
to the patients out there
who are suffering from pain?
DR. CHA YO-HAN
I have nothing to say.
Pardon?
There's nothing I can say
to console their pain.
But I promise that
I'll do my best to get rid of,
and reduce the pain that they have.
Dr. Cha, we got the test results,
and the numbers are a little odd.
The galactomannan value needs to be
over 0,5 to be considered positive.
And he got 0,6.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you remember telling me that you'd
leave it to the patients
to judge what kind of doctor you are?
You can break your bones, cut your flesh,
get a burn, and suffer from frostbite.
But you still won't be able
to feel any pain.
So how will it be possible for you
to understand your patients?
Is that why it was so easy for you
to euthanize someone?
Because you think of pain
as something you study
rather than something you feel?
I know it's too late to hold a retrial,
but I'm going to question
your qualifications as a doctor
on whether or not you have the right
to care for the patients.
Are you done?
I'm busy.
I'll get going if you're finished.
Dr. Cha.
Why did you come see me
if you know about my illness
and that I don't deserve
to treat patients?
What did you want to see?
Did you want to see
if I was being honest or hypocritical?
I'm sorry, but as I told you before,
my patients are the only ones
who have the right to decide
whether I'm qualified or not.
Are you confident?
Are you confident that your patients
will continue to trust you
without feeling betrayed
even after they find out about you?
Even in this very moment, a patient
of mine is lying in bed unconscious.
Whether I can save that patient or not,
that's what's important to me.
How are you acquainted
with former Minister Lee Won-gil?
RESTRICTED AREA
Dr. Cha, you need to get over here.
I don't know if he's conscious
or if his eyes are just open.
I can't check because
he can't react to pain.
Gi-seok, can you hear me?
Gi-seok, I want you to follow my finger.
Gi-seok, try moving your hand.
Try moving your feet.
Gi-seok, I want you to blink
if you can hear me.
-Locked-in syndrome.
-Locked-in syndrome.
A CONDITION WHERE YOU'RE CONSCIOUS
BUT CAN'T REACT TO EXTERNAL STIMULUS
Lee Won-gil?
I don't know who he is.
Am I supposed to know him?
What if…
there's a drug that allows you
to die comfortably in happiness?
And what if
someone was to allow you to use that drug?
Die in happiness?
How can there be a drug like that?
Life and death aren't that simple.
If you feel the urge to die
and you see that drug right next to you,
do you think you'll just take it and die?
And even if someone wishes to die,
all living beings have an instinct
to stay alive
up until the very moment
they breathe their last breath.
That's human nature,
and it doesn't change that easily.
And that's why every living being…
is very pitiful.
Hello?
-Did he admit to it?
-Yes.
All that's left for him
is to lose his license.
This isn't enough to make him

Prosecutor Son.

-Yes.
We must find out what caused it.
Depending on the cause,
the prognosis can be good or bad.
At least, now he can communicate with you
by blinking.
Do you know any of Gi-seok's friends
who could tell us what happened?
Yes. Someone called to ask how he's doing.
Could you ask that friend
to come to the hospital?
Yes. I'll ask him.
We can relax a bit now.
If we just identify the cause…
What is it?
It's nothing.
How much longer do I have
to live as a doctor?
-Dr. Cha.
-You're awake.
-I dozed off.
-You stayed all night?
Did you get some sleep?
Yes. You did a lot of studying.
I found this.
A research team at Clevlend Clinic
is studying pain management
with the CIPA gene.
They should have much more data
and material on CIPA cases.
Shall I contact them?
What?
It's nothing. Can I take a look at this?
Yes.
You must stay strong
if Gi-seok's to have the energy to fight.
At least, now he can blink to communicate.
We made progress.
Right.
That's it. As my mom says, food is energy!
She says that.
Eat up.
Excuse me.
Yes, Dr. Cha.
Gi-seok, did you inject yourself
with steroids while working out?
This. If I'm right, blink once.
If not, blink twice.
Did you go to a new place
other than the gym?
-Where?
-Ask yes or no questions.
Oh, right.
Excuse me.
Just a moment.
Dr. Cha, I have something to tell you.
I met Gi-seok's friend.
Assault? He was assaulted?
Yes. A group of kids bullied Gi-seok.
He was dragged to a warehouse
and beaten up.
A warehouse?
Hey.
Hey, do you really not feel pain?
Hey, does this not hurt?
Stop it.
Hey. Get up.
Stab yourself. You did it before.
-Gi-seok.
-Gi-seok.
I don't do that anymore.
Move.
Is that so?
-I'll make you feel pain.
-Come here.
He hit his head?
Yes.
How about this?
That must've hurt. Oh, no.
Come on, Gi-seok.
-Where do you think you're going?
-Fight back, Gi-seok.
-Fight, Gi-seok.
-Where are you going?
Let's do a CTA.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY
Do you suspect something?
Vertebral artery dissection.
DECREASED BLOOD FLOW FROM INTERNAL RUPTURE
OF A VERTEBRAL ARTERY
Doctor.
The first CT didn't show anything.
If it's acute, cerebral infarctions
don't show up on CTs.
We'll test right away.
What's the matter?
If his vertebral artery is dissected,
his prognosis
will be very bad.
We don't know the result yet.
Let's check first.
VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERS
NAME, EMAIL, MAKE PUBLIC, TITLE
Ma'am, your patient's here.
Okay, thanks.
This garden was made
by the volunteer workers at this hospice.
When they are indoors,
they only talk about being sick.
But out here, they can talk
about beautiful things
such as flowers and trees.
I can't smell the flowers,
but I can hear the birds singing,
and the breeze blowing
through the leaves.
Is that so?
Mom, come here.
-Hello.
-Mom.
Aren't they beautiful?
Yes, they are.
-Are you feeling better?
-Yes, I am.
It may not be easy,
but you mustn't skip your meals.
-Okay. Thank you.
-No problem.
I'm really happy to see you.
Right.
Give me your hand.
Like this.
I caught you. I caught you.
Who's your most favorite person?
You.
You're my most favorite person
in the world, too, Jeong-in.
-It's so hot.
-Is it?
The morning breeze is cold
The wild goose is crying
Please send my teacher
My baby is in there! Jeong-in!
Jeong-in!
Mom!
No?
He had no symptoms.
Still, I'm glad it's not dissection
of the vertebral artery.
There's a footprint.
Do you think this is also
from the assault?
Find out
-where that warehouse is.
-Okay.
-Director, we have a problem.
-What is it this time?
This was uploaded onto our bulletin board.
VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERS
HOW COULD SOMEONE WHO CAN'T FEEL PAIN
BE A RENOWNED DOCTOR?
What is this?
"How could someone who can't feel pain
be a renowned doctor?"
My goodness.
Who'd write such nonsense?
Does this make any sense?
Dr. Cha is a CIPA patient?
We ran several tests
after he was appointed.
There weren't any abnormalities.
It's a genetic issue, a mere recruitment
checkup wouldn't have caught it.
In order to verify this rumor,
we can ask him directly.
Dr. Cha?
Who'd write something like that?
Right? Who'd dare to write
such a groundless rumor
on our hospital's bulletin board?
Hold on. This isn't just any rumor.
This is defamation.
Seeing how this was uploaded
as soon as he appeared on TV,
someone must've been jealous of him.
People who appear on TV for the first time
tend to be mocked by weirdoes.
That must be the case, right?
To be honest, he did seem
a bit strange when he first met Gi-seok,
so I was suspicious.
Was he strange? I had no idea.
-Dr. Lee.
-Yes?
Get the bed ready.
Shouldn't he go to the ER?
No.
He's our patient.
The only thing I can say is that
the impossible has happened.
He's a bit strange.
Right? He kept asking about
the CIPA patient's results.
-Sir!
-He has a fever and is unconscious.
Why did you want to bring him
to another hospital?
I didn't want to cause a scene
at our hospital.
What is it?
Could I know where that warehouse was?
Okay. Please let me know
once you find out the address.
Thanks.
Dr. Kang, we need to talk.
What is it?
Is it true?
What?
Is Dr. Cha…
a CIPA patient?
Dr. Cha!
Did you find out?
Not yet, but…
What's wrong?
Last night, Prosecutor Son Seok-ki
visited me.
He knew about my illness.
It's okay.
I've always kept in mind that
this day could one day come.
What happened?
Sit down.
Dr. Cha.
You promised me.
You said if anything happened to you,
I'd be the first one to know.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Dr. Cha.
Is it true?
How do you think this will unfold?
CHIEF MIN TAE-KYUNG
DOCTOR KNOWN TO DETECT PAIN
IS A CIPA PATIENT?
"Suspicions regarding a doctor
who's in charge
of treating patients being a CIPA patient
have arisen."
PROSECUTOR SON SEOK-KI
COMPETENT DOCTOR AT HOSPITAL
TURNS OUT TO BE A CIPA PATIEN
HOSPITAL IS SEOUL HANSE MEDICAL CENTER
WEREN'T THEY ON TV RECENTLY?
WHY ISN'T THE HOSPITAL RESPONDING TO THIS?
WHY IS THAT ILLNESS AN ISSUE?
SEOUL HANSE MEDICAL CENTER
I'm sorry to have called you all in.
A serious matter arose, so it was urgent.
Dr. Cha, please sit over there.
Please respond truthfully
to our questions.
Is the content of that post
on the bulletin board true?
I'm talking about the post
claiming that you're a CIPA patient.
It's true.
What? A pain management expert?
A CIPA patient treating patients
is a comedy in itself.
There have been no issues or problems
so far.
Nothing has happened yet,
but something was bound to arise.
How could the patients trust you
with their health now?
Did you enjoy observing your patients?
"What is that pain I don't feel?"
You were obsessed, weren't you?
How can such a person care for patients?
How can I not?
The more I observed, the more I saw.
And the more I obsessed, the more I heard.
I couldn't feel their pain,
but their cries never left me.
How could I not care for them?
CIPA is not a lethal contagious disease
or a mental one like schizophrenia.
It doesn't hamper his work at all
or count as a cause for dismissal.
It's true that he deceived us
by hiding his condition from us.
I didn't say we'd decided to dismiss him.
We'll call a disciplinary committee
and discuss what action to take.
Until then, you're excluded
from all medical duties.
As chief of Anesthesiology
and the person who hired Dr. Cha,
I hold myself responsible.
I will accept any punishment also.
Let's discuss that
at the disciplinary committee.
I'll accept whatever decision is made.
But let me say one final thing.
Let me treat Lee Gi-seok.
Lee Gi-seok?
Yes.
We were identifying
the cause of his condition.
I must reach a conclusion.
You're in no condition to see patients.
You didn't seem too well at the seminar.
Dr. Cha, are you in tip-top shape?
Answer me.
Are you well enough
not to disrupt your duties?
It's true that I'm not well,
-but--
-Then I can't allow it.
Until the committee's ruling,
you're excluded from seeing
admitted patients and outpatients.
Kang Si-young.
How did it go?
Are they still talking?
What's happening?
It feels like a dream.
What'll happen to Dr. Cha?
CONFERENCE ROOM
To me, you seemed as if
you had no tomorrow.
So I thought that maybe
you lacked something in your life.
Now I get it.
Your illness which no one can cure.
That thirst.
You wanted to quench it
by treating others.
It would be a lie to say
that's not how I felt.
Dr. Cha.
Are you all in shock?
How did it go?
Did they decide what to do with you?
Not yet.
Until they do,
I'm not allowed to see patients.
I didn't know.
I really didn't know.
If I'd known a little sooner,
I could've understood you,
and done all I could to assist you.
I apologize.
I'm grateful,
but you have no time to waste.
Find out why Gi-seok's sick.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Let's work together.
Do you remember Park Jung-bo?
We'll become your eyes, your hands,
and your voice.
Right. When Father Yu came in,
we were all in different places,
but you led us as a team
and diagnosed him.
We can do this.
You know Gi-seok better than anyone.
I think we've already begun.
Let's go.
If his skin doesn't get better,
we have to switch to an antifungal.
Consult the Division
of Infectious Diseases
before changing the medication.
Also, starting today,
Dr. Lee will be in charge.
Every prescription has to be confirmed
by Dr. Lee.
-Let me know when you need help.
-I'll give you a call right away.
Always keep in mind
that Gi-seok is a CIPA patient.
Due to anhidrosis, he can't regulate
his body temperature well,
and he's infected, too.
Keep an eye on the temperature
of the IV fluids and the room.
Yes, Dr. Cha. We'll keep that in mind.
We'll keep an eye on it.
-You don't have to worry, Dr. Cha.
-You can count on us.
That's all.
Dr. Cha.
I received the address of the warehouse.
3RD FLR SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
I'll go there.
No. I'll go.
Let me come with you.
You should stay with Gi-seok.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
Okay?
Okay.
Dr. Cha.
Be careful.
Is there no C-line?
Prepare a C-line.
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER
Give him phenylephrine,
start him on norepinephrine, 0,1.
It's sepsis.
INJURY CAUSED BY THE BODY'S RESPONSE
TO INFECTION
-Does he need more drugs?
-Another 100mg of phenylephrine.
Yes, doctor.
Don't worry. Focus.
Good.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that
without talking to me first?
I was worried you wouldn't want to do it.
Why?
Were you touched by Cha Yo-han?
He's a hypocrite.
He deceived both his patients
and the hospital.
You talk like you achieved justice
by doing that.
There are many ways to achieve justice.
And you and I are using different ways.
Your way is just wrong.
Fine, it's all my fault.
Your anger was misdirected
from the beginning,
and I failed to stop it.
-Hey.
-How could you do that?
-Murderer!
-Hey!
Was it out of resentment?
-Step back!
-Murderer!
Why did you do that?
-You're trash!
-How could you!
Please step back!
Keep away!
-Why did you do that?
-Murderer!
You murderer! Bring them back!
Stop them!
SEUNG-YOO
Oh, no…
Are you okay?
JEONG-IN
-Move!
-Step back!
-Coming through!
-Step back!
-Mom! It's hot!
-No, Jeong-in.
-Jeong-in! Come out!
-Mom!
-It's hot!
-Jeong-in! Where are you?
Come out!
After only six years in this world,
my daughter died a painful death.
Jeong-in! Come out!
I wanted the killer to suffer
more than my daughter did.
You murderer!
And Cha Yo-han ended his suffering.
Bring my child back!
You burned Jeong-in to death!
Your death will be even more painful!
You'll die in a fiery pit!
You murderer!
Since Jeong-in died,
there has been no dignity in my life.
But why
should Yoon Seong-kyu die with dignity?
Is it wrong to be angry about that?
Prosecutor Son.
Prosecutor Son! Are you okay?
Prosecutor Son!
Help! We need help here!
Prosecutor Son! Hurry up. Prosecutor Son!
3RD FLOOR, SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
SEONGJIN-RO 144-2
Hey, kick him harder!
Kick him!
Does that not hurt?
Does this not hurt? I bet it does.
You can't go anywhere.
Kick him harder.
Oil?
Run a brain MRI, MRA,
-and phlegm check.
-Did you find something?
TEST TO DETECT INFECTION
IN RESPIRATORY TRAC
DR. CHA YO-HAN
His immune system had been suppressed
due to the steroids.
He inhaled dirt that was drenched in oil.
Due to nocardiosis,
an abscess was created in his brain stem.
It must've caused the locked-in syndrome.
The ulcers on his shoulder
must be a symptom of it.
I'll run the tests right away.
Is the rumor true?
Did Dr. Cha really have such a secret?
Yes, sir. I wasn't aware of it either.
Perhaps
we will be better able to convince him.
Should I arrange a meeting?
I'd like to meet him as soon as possible.
I don't think
I have much time left.
I understand, sir.
How could you be ill? How?
After losing Seung-yoo,
there was no pain
that was greater than the pain
of losing my child.
But…
I felt a substantial amount of pain
that made me forget my sorrows.
Yoon Seong-kyu must've suffered
hundredfold or thousandfold.
Yes.
You deserve that for killing my son.
That was what I thought.
But as time passed,
I became afraid.
I was afraid
that when that time came,
I'd search for someone
who'd deliver me as well.
And is that…
Cha Yo-han?
It doesn't matter who it is.
Because if that time comes,
not only will my body die
but my soul will die as well.
The number you called cannot be reached…
I've never seen this occur here.
Me neither.
They're currently conducting
the phlegm test.
You got the results.
His blood vessels are fine.
Just like Dr. Cha said,
there is an abscess.
We'll only know for sure once
the phlegm test result comes back.
Judging by his symptoms
and the radiological findings,
nocardiosis seems like our best bet.
ACUTE OR CHRONIC INFECTION OF THE LUNGS
The phlegm test result
won't come back anytime soon.
Should we trust him and administer
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
and imipenem?
A TYPE OF ANTIBIOTIC
Let's do that.
It's a tricky area, so we'll need
to discuss with Neurosurgery
on the surgical removal.
-Okay.
-Please tell Dr. Cha.
Okay.
Once Gi-seok recovers
due to this diagnosis,
Dr. Cha's suspension will be lifted,
right?
Isn't it ridiculous
to kick out someone so competent?
You're right.
-We should--
-I'll--
I'll talk to Gi-seok's mother.
The number you called cannot be reached…
KANG SI-YOUNG
The number you called cannot be reached…
The number you called cannot be reached…
DR. CHA YO-HAN
Please…
Please…
The number you called cannot be reached…
The address is Seongjin-ro 144-2.
I think a man has collapsed. Please hurry.
Seongjin-ro 144-2?
We're on our way.
How is the man's condition?
-I don't know.
-Sorry?
What did you say?
I said I don't know!
He doesn't know if he's in pain
even when he is!
KANG SI-YOUNG
They're gathering a disciplinary committee
for Dr. Cha.
We've had problems
ever since he joined us.
Let's deal with Dr. Cha.
I think I found a way to help Dr. Cha.
-What is it?
-We'll work in two teams.
Yoo Ri-hye got this text?
Isn't it strange?
They never recruit people like this.
Something like the Cherubim video happens,
Death Talks could become a murder site.
Don't you ever get sick.
