Ghost Doctor (2022) s01e15 Episode Script

A Difficult Decision

[Jung Ji-hoon]
[Kim Bum]
[Uee]
[Son Na-eun]
[Ghost Doctor]
Damn it.
[Episode 15]
It must've been Professor Cha.
I bet it was him.
Judging by the situation,
it shouldn't have been Go Seung Tak.
No! No! You are wrong.
No. It was the tall one.
That I'm sure about.
Yeah. It couldn't be him.
No way. If it'd been him,
I will kill him.
Come on. You shouldn't say that
no matter how angry you are.
You are a doctor.
Do you want me to get
them and beat them up?
She asked me to keep it a secret.
I can't believe she's that kind of person.
But isn't she being too forward
now that she knows everything?
[Professor Jang Se Jin]
Yes, Professor Jang.
What? What happened to Go Seung Tak?
What's going on?
How did he become like this?
Is it because
It's Professor Cha.
Let's get him inside first.
Okay.
Wow, I haven't taken an
ambulance ride for a long time.
Looks like someone already
beat these two for me.
Gosh.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey.
Are you crazy?
Are you awake? Do you recognize us?
It's the first time for 20 years I've
met someone who needs so much care.
Unbelievable.
But what am I supposed to take to get back?
Delete my number and hide!
I could've got a closure today.
But why did that girl keep shouting
"Cha Yeong Min" over there?
She literally went crazy for him.
Yeong Min.
Cha Yeong Min!
Yeong Min!
Se Jin. No, Dr. Jang.
Let's get you some treatment first.
I think of you every day,
wondering if you'd hate me more,
if you'd blame me more.
I wish you could forget about me.
No.
I'd rather you not to forget about me.
I won't let him go anymore.
So I've been gathering my courage.
He never hated you, Dr. Jang.
Every day, he thinks about
the happy times you've had
and the happy moments you shared.
So he can't and he'll never hate you.
He's trying very hard to hang in there
so that he won't come back too late
or let you wait for too long.
Turns out you are Jessica's fan.
Yes. Let's go to her
concert together next time.
I thought you ordered takeout every day
instead of cooking at home.
I did. But I'm going to
cook more in the future.
Because I have someone to eat with me now.
It must be very tough and scary for you.
No. Because I have you.
You are there for me.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Can I hug you?
Good morning!
Good morning!
Why did you do that?
What's the matter with you?
Mom, lower your voice. This is a hospital.
May I ask what happened?
She threw all the books away
behind my back last night.
Do I need your permission
to throw away my books?
Don't you think it's a waste to throw
away the books you studied before?
You were so close to
get the professor title.
Mom, don't you feel pity for me?
I never went outside,
and all I did was study.
Gosh, I'm speechless.
Doctor, she's been acting like
this all the time recently.
So willful and stubborn.
She wasn't like this before.
Do you think it's necessary
to give her a checkup?
It's very normal.
When patients wake up
from a long-term coma,
some of them may
experience mind alteration.
Maybe when they were asleep,
they had some extraordinary
adventure that we are not aware of.
What? Extraordinary adventure?
What do you mean?
It varies from person to person.
You'll be discharged next week.
I wish you all the best!
Oh my goodness. Even the
doctor is acting like this.
What's wrong with her?
What's this about?
You only got a minor wound thanks
to my outstanding athletic ability.
Otherwise your head
would've been badly hurt.
Is that how you talk to the
person who saved your life?
What if it leaves a scar?
But our Se Jin has treated your wound.
It won't leave a scar. Stop worrying.
Our Se Jin?
Right. You did something
yesterday, didn't you?
I thought you'd save it to the end.
You just couldn't wait, could you?
An ignorant person like
you wouldn't understand.
It wasn't something you could wait.
In that case, let's do it again.
Shall I change the curtain?
With or without patterns?
What about the color?
Elegant beige or refreshing pink?
What do you think?
What? Are you asking me?
Well, I'm okay with everything.
It's been so many times.
If he borrows your body,
at least he should protect it well.
It's not his own body anyway.
Exactly. He does it to me all the time.
He really gets on my nerves.
Tell me about it.
What are you doing, Go Seung Tak?
The curtain needs to be
plain and patternless.
How about a linen curtain?
That's exactly what I thought.
We indeed share the same taste.
We are such a perfect match.
I'm so hungry. Buy me a meal.
Meal? Why would I buy you a meal?
You said you'd kill me if I starved.
Will you take responsibility for my death?
I can't let you die.
What do you want to eat?
Hmm Meat?
Go Seung Tak.
Tak. Tak.
About the background music,
instead of pop and classical music,
he prefers the top 100 most popular songs.
Oh, yeah. Cha Yeong Min
likes that kind of music.
Then I'll play Jessica's songs.
Great. Her new songs got good reviews.
He doesn't need goose-down comforter.
He wants a light and thin blanket.
And he wants the color to be reddish.
When did I say that?
Oh, right. Yeong Min
doesn't get cold easily.
Then I'll get a thin blanket for him.
Okay. That's good enough.
I want the color to be refreshingly blue.
The one who made a scene in the
clothes store is dead, right?
Hey, I've become more sensitive recently.
I didn't come back for this
after what I've been through.
Go Seung Tak, wait.
It's lunch time.
Unnie, you look so good lately.
Not long ago,
you looked like you carried the burden
of the whole world on your shoulders.
It's all thanks to our Vice President Han.
He even has more faith
in Seung Tak than I do,
and he's been waiting for
Seung Tak to come back.
I really am grateful
for Seung Tak having
such a reliable cousin.
By the way, Father.
Have you seen the last year's
Best Hospital ranking list?
Our hospital moved up the ranking a lot.
At this rate, our hospital
will soon enter the top five.
It's all thanks to the hard work
of the medical team.
The skilled and trustworthy
doctors are like a hospital's
heart and lungs.
But heart and lungs
can't be functional without blood vessels.
It's the consistent administrative support
that makes the blood circulate smoothly.
You made a witty comment today.
Have you been learning?
Come on, Unnie,
have I ever been bad at anything?
I know what to say all the time.
Just be quiet and eat.
Stop talking.
I told you that I wouldn't
mind eating alone.
Sorry to bother you, Dr. Go.
He said he was hungry, too.
Have some meat.
Yeong Min, you should eat more. I'm fine.
He's on a diet. You can have it all.
Would you like some egg?
I'm confused. I've been wondering
what's going on with those two.
You know something, don't you?
How would I know?
Why are you so curious about everything?
Hey, isn't that
It's such a nice day.
Why don't we go out to eat?
We can't. It's too dangerous.
Who knows if Jang Min Ho is watching us?
This bastard Jang Min Ho, I swear
I'll give him a good beating.
Stop that already.
Your hands are too precious
to be used on such insignificant thing.
You need to use your precious
hands to save your own life.
You will operate
on yourself, right?
What? Operation?
I don't trust the others.
You should do it.
That's why I chose to stay here.
You know that, right?
Yes, I know.
[EunSang University Medical Center]
Professor Cha Yeong Min's
operation was postponed.
Have you set a new date for his operation?
As far as I know, he's still
under treatment for pneumonia.
Is that so?
I didn't expect it'd take this long.
The operation will be performed
by Chief Ban as planned, right?
Yes. I think so.
Make sure it goes well
so that all your efforts of saving
the position for him will be worth it.
[Director of the Legal Department]
I have a question for you.
Dr. O.
Did you just hit Yeong Min?
Oops. I didn't know it was Professor Cha.
I thought he was Go Seung Tak.
You know he's Yeong Min.
So you beat him hard.
No, I didn't.
It's just my hands.
O Su Jeong.
Anyway, the body is Go Seung Tak's.
He's the one who feels the pain.
But, Cha Yeong Min is inside him.
Honey, does it hurt?
No, no.
Your honey is here.
You've been using my baby's
body too much recently.
Baby?
Is that me?
The surgery is to be done soon.
Can't you be generous for a few days?
Dr. O, if you are so unhappy
about it, just forget it.
That sounds familiar.
She's a difficult person.
I get you.
[IlMiri Stewed Chicken]
It's my fault that you
didn't have lunch on time.
Have some food here with Dr. Go.
Go Seung Tak doesn't eat chicken.
He choked on it once.
Oh, I forgot that.
Last time, Yeong Min enjoyed the chicken.
You let Go Seung Tak eat chicken?
Did you eat chicken into my body?
Oh, yeah.
But I was fine that night.
Well, why did my body take it well?
How about some rules?
Good idea.
One hour per day.
Hey, it's too little. Two hours.
Then the frequency should
be limited. Once a day.
No. Three times.
Isn't that too much?
What's your opinion?
This is really good!
Yeah, right.
- Delicious, right?
- Yes.
He really enjoys it.
Eat as much as you like.
He's eating beside me.
Dr. Go Seung Tak is a
little different recently.
Different how?
I've checked his surgical records.
He hasn't entered operating rooms recently.
And no record of emergency surgery.
No operating rooms and no surgery?
Then what's he doing lately?
[Emergency Room]
Why didn't you wake me up?
I should check the patient
in the early morning.
Dr. Go Seung Tak has done it.
What? Go Seung Tak?
It's him again.
He confirms the vital signs every night.
He also changes the dressing.
And he even does the injection.
Is he crazy?
What's wrong? Who's crazy?
Go Seung Tak.
Don't you think he's crazy
lately in a weird way?
He would only work in the OR before.
But now he's doing things he didn't
even do during his internship.
Is it just me, or that he's strange?
Um, his recent behavior is abnormal.
It's abnormal, right?
He was not like this before.
This is not the Go Seung Tak that I know.
Wait, what about Professor Cha's surgery?
Well, is there anything wrong?
The WBC count is increasing again.
So are C-reactive protein
and procalcitonin.
Is it a recurrence of pneumonia?
No, we can't let it happen.
Absolutely not.
Do a new sputum culture.
[Sputum culture]
Yes.
I thought he was getting better. Why again?
It's all right. He will be fine.
Since it's on yourself,
you will perform the surgery, right?
I don't trust anyone else.
You do it.
The boy must've done
rounds the whole night.
If I've woken you up,
just go back to sleep.
You must be tired.
Oh, I can't believe that I fell asleep.
What time is it?
Now that you're awake, let's have a talk.
My operation
I'm so hungry.
I hope that the cafeteria
has tonkatsu today.
Go Seung Tak.
Can't you hear me?
No.
It's such a fine day.
Why don't I go out to eat?
Seung Tak, can't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
I should be quick,
or there will be none left.
Go Seung Tak.
Go Seung Tak!
Go Seung Tak, what's the matter?
Can't you hear me? Can't you see me?
It's not okay.
What's going on?
Where's Su Jeong?
Go Seung Tak!
Seung Tak!
You little shit.
How dare you fake it?
You call me anytime you like.
I had no choice.
Still! You scared the hell out of me!
Go Seung Tak.
You've come just in time.
Help me with this patient.
He was unconscious when he got here.
But I just can't find the reason.
The electrolyte test has been done.
[Electro]
Everything is fine.
Nothing abnormal in the brain CT scan
and the chest radiography.
If even that doesn't work, what can I do?
Oh, you are not who you used to be.
Now you're back to unreliable hands, right?
Didn't you see me save someone last time?
Do you see my hands?
They are about to become gold hands.
Go Seung Tak.
Catch him.
Catch him.
Come on, come here.
Hey, Go Seung Tak.
Hey, ghost, come here.
Come on, come here.
It's okay. Come here.
What's the matter? Why bother to catch him?
Ah, it's really noisy.
Why are they running again?
Why? Are you an idiot?
Apparently to save that man.
Now he can't use his hands.
So he can only run.
Professor Cha has worked hard to the end.
But days like that are coming to an end.
He's going to have the operation.
Who knows?
Some people are always unpredictable.
I'm also not sure what will happen.
Come here.
Ouch.
So here's your boundary.
I never thought that I
would run after a ghost.
Why did we run after him?
To save that patient.
Are we going to let him die?
Hi, ghost.
Who are you?
Why did you chase me?
Who is this doctor?
Is he also a ghost?
No, he's a human being.
The only doctor in the
world who can save you.
Injection of 2 mg naloxone.
[Naloxone: A medicine that rapidly
reverses an opioid overdose]
Naloxone? Why?
He's on drugs.
Drugs? What drugs?
Fentanyl.
[Fentanyl: A synthetic opioid
used as pain killer]
Illegal prescription and habitual intake.
Really? Who told you that?
Him.
Him?
Do you know this patient?
I wish I didn't.
Wait.
Wait, stop.
What?
I Will I be taken away by the police
after I get the injection and wake up?
Will you call the police?
Do it.
Wait.
Stop.
What now?
Promise that you'll never touch
it again after you wake up.
What's the use of his promise?
He won't even remember when he wakes up.
Inject now. And call the
police after he wakes up.
The patient has woken up.
The police are on the way.
I just saved a person
though I didn't do surgery.
Go Seung Tak.
Will a good doctor only do operations?
It's not me but you
who saved that patient.
It's another good thing about
being able to see ghosts.
You can save patients
other doctors can't save.
Don't take it as a barrier.
Give it a good play.
Make it your superpower.
They're not random ghosts or bad ones.
They are patients who need to be saved.
This is President Jang's last wish.
They also have their own stories.
They have a lot of
death wishes to be realized.
Though it can be hard, could you help them?
Please. I'm asking you a favor.
What are you doing?
Is that your last wish?
This brat. How dare you say that?
I'm telling you now
in case I may forget it.
Maybe I can't remember it later.
By the way, your surgery.
Did you come to talk about that?
We can't do it. And you know it.
As I said,
this will be one of the
most difficult operations.
And don't forget the doctors
here are also good ones.
Oh, right.
The result of Choi Hoon Gil's
brain CT should come out, right?
Come on, let's go have a look.
Didn't he once say that
he had a lot of time?
I just want to have lunch
with O Su Jeong.
Why hasn't she come?
[To: President Jo
Mom, let's have lunch together.]
Mom, let's have lunch together.
I made a reservation at your
favorite restaurant.
Please come before noon.
She already read the message.
But why didn't she reply?
Even as her daughter, I can't even
eat with her on my birthday.
It looks like hydrocephalus.
[Hydrocephalus: Buildup of cerebrospinal
fluid in the ventricles of the brain,]
[which results to increased
intracranial pressure.]
Comparing the image 3 years ago
with the new one,
you can see that the ventricles
are larger than before.
It's fluid.
Specifically, it's cerebrospinal fluid.
The treatment is
A shunt.
A tube is placed into the ventricle,
all the way to the abdominal cavity.
It can be somewhat complicated.
But as long as the
hydrocephalus can be removed,
this method is feasible.
Yes!
Was it there from the beginning?
I must have missed it
Well
Maybe it was there from the beginning
Based on the image taken at that time,
it was hard to tell.
Plus, he already had cerebral hemorrhage.
His bleeding is now decreasing.
I think as doctors,
our current best choice
is to wait and observe.
However, if the adhesion gets worse,
it may affect his consciousness.
Yes!
Even if we try our best as humans,
there'll be unexpected
results beyond our capability.
That's what our job is like.
We found the image from 3 years ago
which even his family didn't know.
We should be thankful.
What if we didn't find it?
We would miss this chance.
Let's go.
I want to share the good news.
Hey.
You should at least say thank you.
This brat has no manners
Oh, my God.
What is this?
Let them run a check
and send us the results
as soon as possible.
After that, do a CT scan.
Yes, Dr. Jang.
Professor Cha.
I heard that the way to save
Hoon Gil has been found.
Great. It's really great.
What happened? They're moving him?
To Neurosurgery?
Not now.
They're transferring him
to a general ward first.
Why?
Well, his parents came to visit.
It just feels so strange.
I'll go have a look.
You take charge of the transfer.
Our son must be suffering.
Come on. Hold on.
Mom will never give up.
Take more pictures of the lady. This side.
Mr. Gim, please write a good report for us.
I understand.
Mr. Choi.
Don't get too worried.
Thank you.
We'll go back first.
Darn it.
Why did they shoot so long
for just a few pictures?
What a waste of my tears!
It's not a video. Why were you
being so exaggerated?
If anyone hears you,
they will know I was acting.
You said that this news mattered
for you to get a recommendation
from the party in the next election.
Don't you know what the world is like?
There's no privacy for a candidate.
Even photos of your family
can be made public.
Let's go.
Even if it's freezing cold,
I'd like a cup of iced Americano.
Lots of ice, please.
I'd like a glass of
grapefruit orange juice.
And a glass of grapefruit orange juice.
Mango banana latte.
And mango banana latte.
This, and this one.
This one with chocolate.
I want them all.
Do ghosts get low on blood sugar, too?
No. Some guy didn't have dinner
with my lovely granddaughter.
Excuse me.
This one, this one.
And this one. I'll take them all, too.
Hey.
And the card.
What?
Didn't I save you, boy?
Why are you staring at me?
And the card
I need you to slip this card
under the vending machine in the lounge.
And be nice to my granddaughter, boy.
Or I'll just
What are you hiding from?
What's your limit on this card?
Choi Hoon Gil!
What are you doing?
Get down here now.
Come down slowly.
I know you're upset.
But you can't play with your precious body.
Get down here now.
Come down slowly.
Oh, right.
You are a ghost.
Get down here.
What are you doing?
I don't want to have surgery.
What?
Just let me die.
Even if I do wake up,
I wouldn't be welcomed.
It's not a precious life.
Didn't you sneer and ask how wonderful
my life was worth struggling with?
My life is not wonderful at all.
I want to die. It's cool.
"How wonderful your life
is worth struggling with?"
What do you know about us?
How great is your life?
Right. I don't know your life.
How could I possibly know
your life?
And
why should I know?
But
I did learn a few things by accident.
He had his whole life ahead of him.
His dream is
to be an actor.
There are patients who are
more worried about your future
than their own imminent death.
I want to save
these patients.
If I can
There's a doctor who has
survived painful personal trauma
who wants to save you.
Am I going to die?
His O2 sats are up.
His heart rate dropped.
You don't want to die, do you?
You want to live.
Does that happen to people who want to die?
At that time
How did you become such a
patient-oriented doctor?
Didn't you say it was over?
Did you just let it go?
What makes you play the good doctor now?
That's not like you at all.
I need you to stop.
You're right.
I did say that.
It's over.
I let go of your hand.
It was the other doctors who saved you
from being given up.
So, I am a doctor who operates
based on who the patient was.
Is the patient going to live or not?
Will the family be happy when he wakes up?
If a patient asks me to
save him, I'll save him.
If the patient begs me to let
him die, I'll let him die.
That's the kind of doctor I am.
It's what you think I am.
But what can you do?
You're not gonna be operated on
by a doctor like me.
He really cares about his patients.
He is a very good doctor.
If that's what you want to do, tell me.
I'll tell him.
What are you going to choose?
Should he save you,
or should he let you die?
Patient Choi Hoon Gil.
What do you want me to do?
Let him die or let him live?
Your father.
You've become this kind of doctor.
I don't treat just anyone. Why?
Because I'm not a doctor
who treats every patient.
He was pronounced dead in the
morning. Are you in a bad mood?
You have to learn how to
declare death, don't you?
I'll take my leave.
After all, I have patients to save.
There are two kinds of
patients in the world.
There are patients I saved
and patients who died after treatment.
But if I treat the patient
and the patient dies,
it means no one can cure him.
That's what happened with those patients.
You are crazy.
Who do you think you are?
A man asked me to give it to you.
Asked you? A man?
Who?
Just a man.
Lately, this man has made looking
at you the joy of his life.
He said you had low blood sugar.
That's why he asked me to buy it for you.
He even took my black card.
What are you talking about?
Are you making fun of me again?
If I make fun of you,
he'll come back and kill me.
Eat them all by yourself.
You're buying me dinner tomorrow.
I have lives to save, so I'm gonna go.
Hey, how can I eat all this?
But even so,
I still want to live.
It's not that I've had a great life.
It's that I've made so many promises.
And I have to keep those promises.
Because I'm afraid that day won't come,
I'm so over-cautious right now.
So,
answer my question well.
I don't have much time now.
Hey, I told you I couldn't
make it for a while.
Of course, I miss you.
But these days, Bo Mi keeps me
on a tight leash,
so I have to be with her first.
Hey, you think I'm marrying
her because I like her?
How many times do I have to
say it? Her family is well off.
She has many houses.
Hey, I gotta go.
Oh.
Do you want me to slap you in the face?
But I can't.
What are you doing out here?
I'm going in anyway.
It's cold. You should wear more clothes.
Hey, put it on.
No need.
I don't feel cold.
By the way, you're leaving
the hospital next week, right?
Let's go on a trip together.
I have several places in mind.
What?
A trip?
Never mind if we don't meet.
Why did she send me a package?
How much can she make as an intern? I can't
believe she bought such an expensive thing.
Hello.
Hello. Welcome.
I hear your barbershop is good?
Oh, Ma'am.
What brings you here?
I'm here
Not
Why would I come to a barbershop?
Charge me double the price.
What would you like to do?
A perm?
Perm
Fine.
A perm, of course.
Well, my hair might be a little
Oh.
This hairstyle is good.
Give me a perm like this.
That's a young girl's haircut.
What's wrong with my age?
Well, have a seat.
Here.
Oh.
Your daughter's still
in the Emergency Room.
That's why your eyes are puffy, right?
Do you know Su Jeong?
Yes, I do.
She worked the hardest
in our emergency room.
She's also the best-looking doctor.
Why does she have to work so hard?
She is not so strong to begin with.
I'm so worried.
That's right.
It's worrying.
Facing these doctors all day,
I'm always worried, too.
When I see them walking around
with their pale faces like ghosts,
I would think, why do
they have to be so stupid?
Why would you say that again?
If you talk about making
more money comfortably again,
I'll have to ask you to stop it.
What doctor in the world would?
You're gonna have a nice perm and go.
But it's amazing.
Although she looks like she's
gonna fall down any minute,
but when she sees the patients,
her eyes sparkle.
When she sees those dying patients
get healed and walk out of there,
she becomes so happy
that she giggles to herself.
That's how she's becoming a good doctor.
I wanted to be like that, too.
I've been in that hospital for decades.
So,
I've seen a lot.
Come on.
You sound like a granny.
I'll give you a nice cut
and make you look younger.
Su Jeong's mom.
Please take care of Su Jeong.
And I am very sorry
and very grateful, too.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with Professor Cha?
Here.
What is it? What's going on?
Since a few days ago,
his sputum has become sticky and purulent,
[Sputum]
[Sputum]
[Purulent: contains pus]
and his white blood cell count has risen.
There are other numbers that have gone up.
Bacterial culture revealed
[Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas: Strains
resistant to Carbapenem (antibiotic)]
the emergence of
carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas.
That is to say
The pneumonia
is getting worse again.
Tell her to take a look
at the blood vessels
when she does the chest CT.
And take a look at the
neck vessel extension.
[Neck vessel extension:
To include vessels in the neck]
What's the matter?
The brachiocephalic artery narrowed again.
So
At this rate, it's a matter of days.
How come nothing ever goes right?
Why is there still new problem?
Seung Tak, don't scare Dr. Jang.
I brought this on myself.
Is this because of what happened last time?
Dr. Go, what about his surgery?
Professor Cha's surgery?
Now?
The CT shows that the reversible innominate
artery obstruction that was previously seen
[Reversible]
[Reversible]
[Innoninate artery obstruction]
is getting worse.
We need to operate right away.
But if we proceed with the surgery
in his current condition
It may be the same innominate
artery replacement surgery,
but it's more difficult
and complicated now.
That's right.
After we operate on a patient who
hasn't recovered from pneumonia,
if the artificial blood
vessels get infected,
[Graft: Artificial blood vessel]
it can be very dangerous.
But the patient doesn't
have the time to wait for
the pneumonia to get better.
That's
We can't leave Professor Cha in
such a precarious state, can we?
Of course we can't.
So, the professors talked it over
and decided to go straight to
bypass surgery. What do you say?
[Bypass]
Can't we just fix the blood flow first?
Forget about the
innominate artery for now.
Just connect the left and right carotid
arteries with catheter at the neck.
All we need to do is open the neck.
The surgery would be much easier.
Professor Cha is not even in his 40s yet.
Didn't we agree last time that
we should solve the problem
in a more fundamental way?
I know that.
Professor Cha is still young and
has a bright future ahead of him.
He isn't married.
He hasn't worn enough of
the new brands he likes.
I know that.
We want to help him, too.
But to fix the Innominate artery,
we have to do a thoracotomy.
His inflammation levels are going up.
It's such a reckless act to perform
thoracotomy on a patient
who's still suffering from pneumonia.
This isn't Professor Cha's first surgery.
And in an aortic surgery,
he could lose so much blood,
which is dangerous. You know that.
Anesthetizing an unconscious
patient is already dangerous.
Plus it's such a difficult
and dangerous surgery,
do we have to try it?
You know, even if we do the surgery,
there's no guarantee he'll wake up.
Maybe he'll have another
accident in surgery
So in this case, it is better
to open the neck first,
and solve the problem of blood flow.
We have to save him first.
The professors have
changed their minds now.
They really know how to stay out of it.
This is a well possible insight,
and it makes sense.
Which side do you agree with?
Besides, this is your surgery.
I'm not saying that as a patient,
but as a doctor.
So,are you going with the bypass?
Do you want to live with a tube in
your neck for the rest of your life?
It will always be stuck
when you eat or speak.
How do you live?
In addition, what if it
can be seen from outside?
Don't you want to fall
in love and get married?
You will always worry about
when it will get blocked.
And I heard that you have to take
medicine for the rest of your life.
Are you going to do it?
The surgery.
Didn't you ask me last time?
If I have surgery, will it be done by you?
Do you want to do the surgery?
What are you talking about?
Then do the bypass surgery.
I received a call from the chief,
and I heard what you said just now,
and I also learned his opinion as a doctor.
Dr. Jang.
Yeong Min, answer my question.
If you have bypass surgery,
is there a good chance
you will wake up safely?
You will live with a tube in your
neck for the rest of your life.
You will always worry about
when it will get blocked.
And you have to take medicine
for the rest of your life.
But even so
You will definitely wake up, right?
Yes, I will.
Professor.
Go Seung Tak.
That's enough.
I'm his guardian and it's up
to me to make the decision.
I also have
the responsibility and power over him.
He struggled to survive this far.
It can't end like this.
I'll search every hospital in Korea,
No--
even if I have to search all
over the world, I will find
the doctor who can operate on him.
I absolutely can't let
you become like that.
Yes, Dr. Ye Jin Yu.
Oh, did he go overseas
to attend the academy?
I understand.
Well, wait, maybe
Hey, brother Yu Min,
your hospital
He seems to be looking for
the most powerful doctor in that
field from hospital to hospital.
No one wants to do it.
Professor Cha is in a coma,
and the whole medical community knows it.
It's not an easy operation.
We don't know what's going to happen.
In other words, the last card
is still valid, right?
I mean it gets easier.
I also have a private meeting with Dr. An.
I've been curious since before.
Why do you want to get
rid of Professor Cha?
I've had some problems with
him since a lot of years ago.
And even if he wakes up,
he won't know anything.
Even if he knew,
no one would believe a man
who just woke up from a coma.
The things that worry me are increasing.
The only way to get rid of the other one
is to get rid of him first.
He changed a lot.
Anyway,
what are you going to do when
you finish using Doctor An?
His testimony would be the biggest problem.
Now there are no other
witnesses and no evidence.
If something goes wrong,
we have to deal with him.
Let's take advantage of him
and wait for the timing.
[Consent For Operation]
Yes, you're right.
We should save him first.
Of course.
You are the chief surgeon.
Don't dare to say anything else.
As for bypass surgery,
others say that in this circle,
I can rank among the top three.
I am a little shy about it, though.
Anyhow, as my junior,
I do love and cherish
Professor Cha very much.
But I have only one regret.
If he has bypass surgery,
his hand strength may decrease.
This is a side effect.
Sometimes he had to do more than
10 hours of surgery before.
But that kind of complicated surgery
will be difficult for to do in the future.
Goodness, come over here, quickly.
Professor Cha.
He has something to tell you.
Spit it out.
If you don't say it,
it'll be unspoken forever.
Your surgery date has been set,
and it's the same day as mine.
- What?
- Didn't I say?
The doctor who will
operate on you this time
is different from me.
It was my fault last time.
Just ignore it, and don't take it to heart.
This line sounds familiar.
Professor Cha, it's so nice.
Good, thank you. I'll leave.
If he has bypass surgery,
his hand strength may decrease.
That kind of complicated surgery
will be difficult for
him to do in the future.
Doctor,
I want to ask you something.
Well
I had frequent nosebleeds
before I passed out.
How did you know about it?
I heard you knew about it,
and helped find a surgical method.
A doctor
said there was a possibility,
and he asked me to check.
Oh.
Thank him so much.
He is a good doctor.
Even though he is ill,
he still thinks about other
patients and performs operations.
He is a doctor with a strong sense
of responsibility to his patients.
He is a comatose patient.
Fortunately, we found a way and
he's going to undergo surgery,
like you.
It's the same doctor who told me last time.
It's so good.
I really hope that he'll have a
successful surgery and wake up soon,
just like me.
What about you say this
to the patient directly?
What?
Me?
People always talk to patients in coma.
It's generally thought
that it is just talking,
but in fact, the patients are listening.
Hello, Patient Choi Hoon Gil.
You are so handsome.
Ah, my name is Im Bo Mi.
I heard that you're going
to have surgery soon.
I've been sick for a long time like you.
I'm going to be discharged
soon after my surgery.
I'm sure you will be, too.
Handsome Hoon Gil,
please definitely wake up.
And fulfill your dreams.
I'm so sorry.
At that time, if I had gone in earlier
I'm probably the only one in the world
who's ever heard his surgeon
say he was sorry for not being
able to save his patient.
Professor Cha, do you know
what was the first thing I saw
when I became a ghost?
What happened?
Scissors.
It was the scene when Chief Ban
went out after the operation
and the resident doctor was
finishing up, putting me in danger,
and then Professor Cha
next door came to save me.
He's trying to save me no matter what.
Acute aortic dissection
has a high mortality rate.
At least my life was saved
because of Professor Cha.
I knew I almost died there, and I knew
the blood pressure dropped so low during
the operation that my brain was damaged.
After living in the hospital for so long,
I almost became a doctor.
I'm not your patient,
but since then you have been talking
about finding a way to save me.
I saw that you tried so hard.
So be it.
Yes.
I also saw that every time you came to
the ICU, you'd be very sad when seeing me,
and you even started to
lose your temper afterward.
It's your specialty to lose your temper
when you see a patient
you can't save, isn't it?
I know how desperate you are to save me
But sometimes I'm a little sad.
I'm sorry. I was in a bit of a bad state.
If you are so sorry,
Professor Cha, can I
ask you one last thing?
Can you send me somewhere else
before Hoon Gil wakes up from the surgery?
I saw the case in the ICU this morning
and I know you care about me.
But no matter how you try,
you can't find the answer.
Isn't that really the end of it?
I heard you are going to have surgery soon.
I don't want to be alone again.
If I go to a hospital near my home,
I can often see my family,
and there should be
some friends there, too.
It would be hard to anyone
other than Professor Cha.
And we can't have him do
the surgery on himself.
This is really
Go Seung Tak isn't here
and he doesn't know it.
I feel sorry for Professor Cha lately.
If the surgeries are getting
less and less frequent.
Although Professor Cha
sometimes makes people tremble,
his skills are the best.
If the bypass surgery is done,
his skills should not be as good as before.
Thanks to you, Professor Cha,
my store was saved.
I'm relieved.
Thank you.
Professor Cha.
If you encounter patients
like me in the future,
you must save them.
Save more.
How can you let your hands
become clumsy? Who said it?
We have your hands. Aren't they
about to become golden hands?
Hey, my hands need more
training and practice
Didn't you say you will help me by my side?
Really? Then I have no choice.
I must protect my hands.
[Go Seung Tak]
You know who I am, don't you?
How can I know?
How can I believe you?
How did a coward like you do those things?
Can you live a normal life in the future?
Your life is so long.
What are you talking about?
What did I do?
Ah, you want to play dumb till the end.
Well, that's not the matter
we'll discuss today.
Matter?
What matter?
What can you do with me?
Something
about Professor Cha Yeong Min.
[Consent For Operation
Name: Cha Yeong Min]
[EunSang University Medical Center]
What? Professor Cha's surgery?
Are you putting me in charge
of Professor Cha's surgery now?
Are you crazy?
Does Professor Cha know that?
Is this what Professor Cha meant?
Yes, that's it.
It's what I meant.
Professor Cha?
[Consent For Operation
Name: Cha Yeong Min]
Give me Professor Cha's position.
Professor Cha's position?
I am putting my life on the line.
Don't I deserve to ask for that much?
Wow
Your eyes have changed.
It seems that you've made
up your mind this time.
I had already crossed the stone bridge
when I injected President Jang.
I have pulled the trigger.
I already have blood on my hands
on doing it once, if I do it again
does it change anything?
If you can promise me this,
I'll end it myself.
This game.
I guess that's why I kept that
position unoccupied until today.
[EunSang University Medical Center]
[Operating Room]
[EunSang University Medical Center]
What's the matter? Are you waiting for me?
Let me sit down, too.
Vice President.
It's time to start.
What are they doing?
Cha Yeong Min, 38-year-old male patient.
Due to a right innominate artery stenosis,
innominate artery replacement via
median sternotomy will be performed.
Innominate artery replacement?
Not bypass?
We'll now begin the surgery.
Scalpel.
[Ghost Doctor]
-=Preview of the next episode=-
Will that person save Cha Yeong Min?
Don't worry. There's no guarantee he'll
wake up even if the surgery is successful.
No, be calm.
Cha Yeong Min, please.
Please.
No one is here.
It's so quiet.
[Cardiothoracic Surgery Department
Cha Yeong Min]
Erase the name.
People who are lucky to stay in
the world are not that common.
It will definitely be back,
back to the way it was at the beginning.
Seung Tak,
thank you.
From the first day
up until the last moment.
