EPISODE 2
[upbeat music playing]
["Sunny Day" by An Yu-jin playing]
[Sa-bi] How's that possible?
Rounds are at 7:00.
Ah.
So if the professor wants them now,
then, we do them now.
All right, yes, I'll come right now.
[song continues]
[exhales]
[cell phone buzzing]
Yeah?
Oh, an emergency?
I'll call Pediatrics, Anesthesia, Surgery,
Internal, and who else?
Oh, and I can bring in NICU as well,
and call my professor!
[sighs softly]
[yawns]
Yes!
Why do they leave it out if it's expired?
[cell phone buzzing]
Yes, Doctor?
Ah.
The intern, they can't do it?
Well, can I just grab a bite to eat
real quick and
Yeah, I'll be right there.
[song continues]
[groans]
[Jae-il] Long time no see.
Have you had dinner?
-[Sa-bi] No, of course I haven't.
-[yawns]
[sighs] Why am I so tired already?
It's only Wednesday.
Because it's Thursday.
-It's Friday today.
-No way.
Whoa! We're actually
getting out early today, huh?
It's only 10:00! Isn't that lucky?
[chuckling] Lucky?
Are you kidding right now?
[clock ticking]
[inhales] All right.
-I'll be first, then.
-Yes!
-[sighs]
-[line ringing]
Hi, Doctor, I'm R1 Kim Sa-bi,
I'm going to start the relay report.
Today I examined
Dr. Seo Jung-min's C-section patient.
She has firm uterine contractions,
but there's been no complications
with the incision site so far.
[sighs]
Dr. Kong Gi-sun's first patient today
was a primigravida at 30 weeks.
She's in preterm labor in the MFICU,
it's her fifth day in there,
and her ritodrine is
Uh, her ritodrine dosage
It's 30, 30!
Ah, it's been maintained at 30cc for now.
Sorry? Wait, I know it's 30.
-I promise I know the amount [gasps]
-[line disconnects]
-No, not again.
-[exhales]
[sighs softly]
My bad, guys. Start again.
In preterm labor, the MFICU,
her fifth day in the hospital.
Her ritodrine's been kept at 30cc for now.
-[sighs]
-[clears throat]
[clears throat]
Pyo Nam-kyung speaking.
I was in the Gynecology ward.
Happy to answer.
Sorry?
Oh, why do I have to
Ah! Uh, just give me a second.
Yes, Room 1013,
she's 74, has ovarian cancer.
Debulking surgery, two days post op.
Huh?
Uh
Cardiac marker? Well, it's, uh
I don't have that.
I'm really sorry.
Enough with the apologies, all right?
Star over again.
-[cell phone beeps]
-[door opens]
Oh. Dr. Jo.
Mm, Dr. Myoung.
I heard about your cancer patient's
recent debulking surgery.
Quite the marathon, am I right?
-I'm relieved it went so well.
-Oh, thanks.
-It's for you.
-What is it?
-It's tea.
-Ah, just set it there.
[clears throat] Hey, so,
how does an Obstetrics fellow know
what happened in Gynecology?
I hear everything that goes on
while supervising each and every resident.
Mm. That's astounding, wow.
I'm sure Obstetrics
is hard enough on its own.
It's all in a day's work.
FIRST-YEAR KIM SA-BI
Oh, Dr. Jo, next time you go to
the wine bar with the professors,
can you please invite me as well?
I would love to come along.
-You like drinking, huh?
-I do.
[Jung-min] Human beings have
five distinct stages
when it comes to accepting death.
You've all heard of them, right?
The first stage. Denial.
I just got called Dae-il earlier today.
After I said many times that
I'm Um Jae-il. It's crazy.
Am I just that forgettable, or
How's that happen?
I mean, I'm the first resident
with a boy band background.
I think they're probably bad
with people's names. Right, Sa-bi?
-[sighs]
-[Jung-min] The second stage is anger.
Sorry.
Seriously, how can you guys
not even know your own patients?
Well, not that it's really your fault.
It's just that all my plans get ruined,
and it's really disheartening.
[Jung-min] The third is compromise.
[swallows]
It's really good.
-[Jung-min] The fourth one?
-[Do-won] Depression. Sadness.
[sighs heavily] There are girls out there
engaged to rich lawyers
who'll be married someplace nice
like the Shilla.
While I'm here,
changing dressings all day long.
[sighs]
Whoa. Just look at her bag!
[whines] It's so pretty.
[Jung-min] And lastly, the fifth
[cell phone chimes]
Oh! Dr. Ki Eun-mi texted.
-[gasps] That means
-Oh, can we head out for the day?
We have four more patients
getting induced, that's all.
So that's seven patients total.
-[sighs]
-[scoffs]
We had five today,
and now, seven tomorrow.
Lucky seven, am I right?
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs]
[Jung-min] The fifth stage is acceptance.
-In the end, they must accept it.
-[laughs]
[cell phone ringing]
We'll start the R1 relay report.
That's from the book
On Death and Dying, isn't it?
Yes. Still, it seems to hold true
in a couple other areas, as well.
Like what?
The escape and escaping of some residents.
-Ah.
-You can't be serious.
It's only three weeks since they started.
That's my point, the three-week mark
is an uncertain time.
They haven't invested much right now,
and they haven't really made friends,
so they wouldn't stay here out of loyalty.
Then there's the biggest factor yet,
which is
Mm!
-Still waiting for their first paycheck.
-Right.
See, I thought you'd understand,
Ku Do-won.
The warning signs
have been there for a while.
Residents are hard to come by.
-So let's do our best to keep them.
-[both] We will.
I don't believe there's anything
you don't know about, Professor.
There is one thing.
There is something I never
could quite figure out entirely.
It's why anyone wouldn't be doing this.
Doing what?
Doing Obstetrics.
Why would anyone not want to do
this kind of amazing work?
Goodbye, Professor.
-[Jung-min] Oh.
-Get some rest, Professor.
[theme music playing]
RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
-[indistinct chatter]
-[yawns]
-[indistinct announcement over PA]
-Hi!
Are those your brothers?
[yawns]
What's that? Is that a coin purse?
Shut up, you must be completely clueless.
I had to wait in line for this!
-You waited in line?
-[Sa-bi] Hello, hello!
-Oh, where you headed?
-I'm going to study!
This one is a case of dystocia,
related to the first point.
And force is what's lacking.
To properly understand dystocia,
the active phase criteria must be the same
to determine whether or not
a patient is in it.
So, to achieve that, cervical exams
must be measured,
consistently, no matter who performs them.
Now, let's circle back to the beginning.
Can someone give me
a definition of dystocia.
-When labor is abnormal or difficult.
-That's exactly right, yes.
During the birthing process,
there are three factors that contribute
to dystocia occurring.
Uh
Ah!
-[inhales sharply]
-[coughs] Oxytocin.
Oxytocin is used, and yet,
there's still no
Yes, go on.
Well, oxytocin is used, but
Despite administering oxytocin
Oh Yi-young, do you bother
to study or not?
-I'm sorry.
-[sighs]
-Then Pyo Nam-kyung is up next.
-Uh
Even once oxytocin's been administered,
the infant doesn't descend for hours.
And then, also
[whispering] Contractions.
Conpu
Con-trac!
-Conpre
-Sa-bi is clearly saying "contractions."
-And you, Jae-il.
-Yeah?
-[Jung-min] You heard it?
-Yes, I heard Sa-bi.
[groans] So is it just me and Kim Sa-bi
in this room, then?
This time's for studying, not tutoring.
-I like tutoring.
-[knock on door]
-It's time for rounds, Professor.
-Coming.
Da-hye, prep the next session
for me with Nam-kyung.
-Okay.
-Thanks, Professor.
Do-won's with Dr. Im Dong-ju
at the seminar, I believe, right?
-When is that done?
-In two days.
Ah.
Well, aren't you going to join me
on rounds today?
Ah!
Ow.
Dr. Oh.
With seven C-sections a day,
there will also be seven patients
on day two post-op, right?
Yes, Professor.
Wouldn't it be easier to know
which patient's which
if their details were included
in your presentation?
Oh. You're right. I'm sorry.
Miss Yoon Seon-mi won't need an NS
since reactivity isn't expected
at 22 weeks along.
Right, understood.
And check Sim Hui-yeong's
upcoming transfer.
Okay, I'll do that.
[indistinct announcement over PA]
[line ringing]
I'm calling from Jongno Yulje.
We have a primigravida with a small infant
at 34 weeks we've been watching closely.
Uh, the fetal monitoring
isn't looking good,
so she'll have to give birth soon,
but we don't have a NICU bed for her.
What? Just a moment, uh
The infant weighs one-and-a-half kilos.
The AFI is, uh
[sighs]
Uh, it's four.
Sorry? Her records?
Uh, I'll have them ready for you.
Great, goodbye, then. And thanks.
-Doctor?
-Yes?
Why does it seem like you're still rusty
with all this?
-What?
-[Eun-won chuckles]
I mean, you keep on stuttering.
You talk a little strange.
I talk strange?
Yi-young, how is
Shim Hui-yeong's transfer?
Good. I'm on it.
When you do the transfer request form,
include the prenatal initial test report
to save time.
Thanks, I'll put the report in.
That's what I mean.
You definitely seem rusty.
Dr. Oh, when you're addressing something,
don't start by grabbing the phone first.
You gotta use your brain.
It comes off as disinterested,
as if you have no passion for this.
What was that?
-Oh, hello!
-Hey.
Hi, hello!
Can I assist you?
Yes, that would be great.
Right, it's just a little further.
Obstetrics is just over here.
[sighs] I'm not pregnant, sir.
I'll take it from here.
[Da-hye] Miss Yeom?
Oh, hey there.
You should've just stayed in the ER.
I know you've been
pretty lethargic lately. Take a seat.
-Just be careful, miss. [chuckles]
-[grunts]
The professor would like to begin
by draining some of the fluid first.
Then we'll make sure
you get chemo scheduled for later.
All right, very well.
Your condition does seem
a bit worse today, huh?
[breathing heavily]
Of course it's getting worse.
Why else would I have checked in?
Although, today I do feel
really annoyed already today.
Shall we, Doctor?
All right.
[sighs heavily]
[patient] I don't think
you're cut out to be a doctor.
I mean, every time
I tell you I feel feverish,
you say I'm fine and then run off.
You don't even look at my face.
But every time I take your temperature,
it's below 37.5, which means no fever.
During pregnancy, your serum
progesterone levels become elevated,
so that could be why you feel hot.
Also, I suspect that in your case,
it's highly possible you're sensitive
to heat in general.
Sorry? What was that?
[scoffs] I can't believe this. Really?
You think that's something you should say?
I don't have
some kind of heat sensitivity.
I'm not so stupid that I can't tell
the difference between warmth and a fever.
And what about dressing changes?
It's the first time I've been here
that having them changed has hurt so much.
You just stick me with needles
without even a word.
So I made sure to say it hurt,
but she said
Well, it
can hurt to change out bandages.
Doctor, I can hardly believe this girl!
That's exactly what she said earlier!
Oh, yes, I see.
That's her response to a patient
who's hurting and pregnant.
Is that how a doctor
should speak to anyone?
Hey, Ma, you still think
I'm hypersensitive now?
How can I let her deliver my child
when she doesn't care?
Professor, this never happened
when I came before, not once.
You know that, don't you?
I do apologize.
It must be distressing for you.
I'll make sure this won't happen
to you again.
[sighs] Professor
[breathing heavily] now, surely,
someone like her
can't be a doctor, don't you think?
Well, I guess you're right.
So sorry, this won't happen again.
I'll leave you to get some rest.
What, is that so much to ask?
I didn't ask you to deliver a baby.
Can't you follow my directions and stop
causing headaches for everyone around you?
[sighs] Go and say you're sorry.
You can't behave that way.
It's just that as far as
all the medical facts go,
there isn't a mistake
to apologize to her for
Explain to me what the patient did wrong.
What mistake did she make that
prevents her from eating or sleeping?
[sighs] This apology doesn't have
anything to do with an error.
This is about having
some consideration and some empathy.
You're trying to comfort her.
Don't you understand?
This time, rather than
just saying sorry to her,
what if I explain everything
in detail once more
Just get in there and say you're sorry
already! How can you not understand?
She said she'll switch hospitals!
If a patient ends up moving
somewhere else,
who's punished, the student or teacher?
Think it through.
I'll speak with her
in a way that's amicable, then.
-And I'll get her to calm down.
-Great.
Say you're sorry.
Make sure this all goes away.
I will.
Do you want an F? Do you, Doctor?
Sorry?
No, an F sure doesn't fit you at all.
I always got straight A's.
Your MBTI
definitely has a T.
How's lunch? [chuckles]
How're you doing?
[patient chuckles softly]
All your test results are really
starting to improve.
Oh, that's great.
Have you been exercising?
I haven't. Not yet.
As I explained before, it's important
for you to exercise regularly
to speed up your rate of recovery.
Please take frequent walks.
I know, but it's so hard for me
to move right now.
I've been starving all day.
Really? You should've gotten
your meal already.
Oh Uh, yeah, you should have
started getting those earlier today.
[chuckles nervously]
[gasps]
Ah, I guess your meals haven't been
getting delivered to you yet.
I really do apologize. I'll make sure
you get your meals right away.
Mm-hmm. You must be so hungry right now.
So sorry about this.
We'll get it to you right away.
I'm so very sorry, ma'am.
Go and bring her some water.
-Right.
-Have water while you wait.
YEOM
ATTENDING DOCTOR: UM JAE-IL
YEOM
ATTENDING DOCTOR: PYO NAM-KYUNG
-I'm sorry. It was my fault.
-I wouldn't like you either.
If you hadn't assumed things, the patient
wouldn't have wanted you gone.
[sighs] You're a headache,
not a co-worker.
And this is after my horoscope said that
I'd encounter an adversary.
That's you, huh?
Sorry.
Anyway, Nam-kyung, I
I think I can work more
before Da-Hye finds out.
-I gotta pitch in here.
-Don't you dare!
I could get in trouble
if you get caught trying to work.
Don't do anything stupid.
You can manage that much
without causing a scene, right?
Nam-kyung, have you had lunch?
-Jae-il, you haven't eaten either, huh?
-No.
I set lunches aside for you
in the on-call office.
-Ye
-We'll go later.
Just go eat now.
You guys must be so hungry.
[chuckles] Okay.
[clicks tongue] Don't forget, all right?
Ah, do you want anything to drink?
I was going to grab coffee.
-I'll take
-I'll pass for now.
Short on time. Thanks, though.
All right, then.
[both sigh]
Let's call her Eun-mi Teresa.
Nam-kyung, you're so lucky
I want food. Don't be stupid,
of course I do.
Time's running out. I still gotta prep
for rounds and change all the dressings.
[sighs] Dr. Ryu Jae-hui
is up to nine operations.
And the ICU is sending us another case.
Yeah, a new patient,
when dressings take the entire day.
And the one that hates you? Yeom Mi-so?
-She's a terror.
-Why?
She can't share with people,
so she had to get a room of her own.
She's aiming for one with a bigger window.
Oh, wow.
And she wants
her dressings changed at least
[Mi-so] Excuse me.
My dressings have only been
replaced twice today.
Ah. You must be Yeom Mi-so.
Yes.
[Nam-kyung] We've only just completed
the handover process.
I want four times a day.
Do you understand?
Ah, okay.
And please take extra care
to maintain good hygiene.
-Got it?
-Okay.
[Nam-kyung sighs]
-Should I just get lunch for you?
-I'm clearly way too busy!
Oh. That's right, I forgot, sorry.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Huh?
Got music on?
It's not music, huh?
So what're you listening to?
Yeah, of course, I'm sorry.
All right.
[call disconnects]
-What was that?
-A phone call.
-Ah.
-She must really hate me now.
Myoung Eun-won, hmm?
I heard this from the nurses.
Hazing R1s has
made her famous around here.
She's so childish.
She should do something
besides bothering me.
And they said [smacks lips]
she's worse than she was last year.
But why?
Dr. Im Dong-ju, he's retiring, apparently.
That's why she transferred,
to grab that opening next year.
The juniors all seem to hate her,
but I guess the higher-ups
respect her or something.
It's like she'll turn into a professor.
Ugh! [inhales]
Then it's gonna be even harder
when we start Year Two, isn't it?
[smacks lips]
-I wish you the best.
-Whoa, it's your problem too, you know.
Put on some music.
-HI-BOYZ has a lot of really good songs.
-No way.
Come on, why not?
[emotional song playing]
[sighs]
-[song stops]
-[cell phone ringing]
MYOUNG EUN-WON
Yes, Doctor.
What?
[Jae-il] Hey.
Yes, I'm sorry, Doctor, but our patient
has a history of myomectomy
going into active labor
with contractions every two minutes.
She needs an emergency C-section.
[doctor] Sorry? Right now?
There are no ORs open right now.
-There's absolutely no way.
-We really need one!
Please open one right away.
I'll clean the room up myself
if I have to.
It's important.
Please, can you help? [grunts]
So they'll be down here any minute
with the patient.
All you guys in Obstetrics
are like the grim reaper.
A phone call from you
sends shivers down my spine.
I'm sorry. Her contractions jumped
to once every two minutes.
Look, I have a kid of my own,
so I have a good idea how it feels.
But I wasn't lying when I told you
there were no rooms.
You're lucky the surgery wrapped up early.
Thank you, Doctor.
-[cell phone chimes]
-[line ringing]
Hello, Doctor, I can bring
the patient down from the ward.
[Eun-won] I'll bring her down. Stay there
and hold on to the room. Don't leave.
Oh, okay.
CURRENT TIME
CURRENT TIME
[doctor] What's taking them so long?
We put the next surgery on hold
for this "emergency."
Sorry. Let me give her another call.
[line ringing]
[line ringing]
-[cell phone ringing]
-[line rings]
[Eun-won] If we decide to operate
last minute, it's pretty difficult
to schedule it for the time we want.
Especially at night
it's almost impossible for Obstetrics
to be able to book
a surgery slot this late.
If your daughter becomes President,
can I say I played a part?
[both laugh]
Of course! That goes without saying.
-I thought her contractions
-Yes, thank you.
Between you and me, they aren't
accommodating with surgery times.
[patient] Oh, yes, that's true, isn't it?
I won't forget what you did, I promise.
[Eun-won] If you send your friends,
I'll make sure to look after them too.
[patient chuckles]
Of course, thank you so much, Doctor.
Dr. Jo, let's make this
a good one, all right?
Doctor. I thought this surgery
was an absolute emergency.
[Eun-won] Sorry?
What do you mean emergency?
What's he talking about?
-When we were on the phone earlier
-On the phone?
Oh, yes, we did speak on the phone.
What about it?
Hmm. Oh, Doctor, for the PCA,
we're going with an epidural.
[sighs] An epidural takes 20 to 30 minutes
with the catheter and everything else.
R1, don't you think this is going
a little too far?
Lying to another department
to get what you want?
-I can explain
-Don't bother.
Ugh, what am I going
to tell my professor now?
Oh, this is infuriating. [clicks tongue]
[sighs heavily]
This is probably her first meal in days.
Better not bother her now.
Be considerate, right?
She said it.
Better wait.
Well, it's already ten o'clock.
Plus sleep is good for her and the child.
This is what empathy is.
I'm only being empathetic right now.
Yeah.
[alarm ringing]
[alarm stops]
[exhales]
Oh, I really wanted to shower.
No time. Guess I'll go like this.
[groans]
[door closes]
[soft music playing]
[sighs]
[clicks]
[sighs]
I can't take any more of this, seriously.
YEOM
[sniffs]
[sniffs]
[orchestral gospel music playing]
How are you feeling today, Miss Yeom?
Let's get your dressing changed.
-Did you wash your hands?
-Yes, I washed my hands.
-Wait a minute.
-Yes?
BIBLE
You mind putting on
a fresh pair of gloves?
Oh, I just put new ones on.
Please get new tweezers for me
while you're at it.
Uh
Of course.
You know I need
the dressing changed four times daily.
-Twice in the morning and afternoon?
-[exhales] It was explained to me today.
Stick to the schedule, then,
if you would.
I'd appreciate it.
Uh-huh.
Mm.
I'll remove your bandage.
This might sting just a little.
Um Jae-il!
Oh, hello!
Oh, Doctor! It's Miss Park Ga-yeong,
she just disappeared, she's got surgery!
Yeah, Park Ga-yeong
had surgery this morning
due to pain from a cyst rupturing,
but she's doing well.
Didn't I mention that?
They moved her to the ICU.
-I better head to the ICU
-If something happens, I'll call you.
Why don't you go
take a break for now, okay?
Uh
[sighs]
Park Ga-yeong liked me, though.
She wanted me attending her operation.
-[resident] Sorry, excuse me. Doctor?
-[Da-hye] Oh, yeah?
About Miss Kim Yeong-seo? Apparently she's
requesting to have dinner starting today.
[Da-hye] That's not good,
her surgery's tomorrow morning
[doctor 1] Miss Shin Jeong-a is in a lot
of pain. Can we increase her dosage?
[doctor 2] Park Na-hui would like
a consultation
regarding tomorrow's myomectomy.
She's insistent. You need to see her.
[doctor 3]
Check Miss Oh Yeong-suk's vitals
to make sure they are stable.
Can you come?
Doctor Kim Sa-bi, where's she at?
I asked where she's at!
Don't miss the conference,
it's beginning soon.
Didn't I make it clear enough
for you yesterday?
I said to go talk to her, didn't I?
Well, I did go down.
She was eating her dinner, though.
But when I went later on,
I thought I should just let her rest,
to show more empathy and consideration
[yells]
[sighs in exasperation]
Seems the patient was right.
Do you really think
you're cut out to be a doctor?
You have no empathy,
you mess up your timings,
and you can't read the signs
the patient is sending.
That's why this simple issue
has gotten entirely out of hand!
[groans]
I'm telling you now,
to go and handle this.
You better fix this today.
Do whatever it takes, or else
No more excuses, Sa-bi. Understand?
Am I being clear now? Today.
[sighs]
[Sa-bi crying]
Oh, now what do I do?
[doctor] Okay, so this is under GA,
is that right?
[Yi-young] That's right.
[doctor] Sang-hyeon,
please always double check that.
-And has the patient been fasting?
-Yes, she's been fasting.
Sang-hyeon. I asked if you checked.
Have you asked the patient?
[Sang-hyeon] Yes, I asked.
[doctor] And the operability?
OPERABILITY: PREOPERATIVE TESTS
I guess I'll check that myself.
[line rings]
Eun-won, are we good
on the patient's operability?
Okay.
I thought there was no need for Pediatrics
to be involved in this surgery.
-Dr. Myoung Eun-won said it was necessary.
-[scoffs]
Are you sure
there's a problem with the baby?
Can we trust you?
Sorry?
You always say there's a problem,
but the babies turn out fine.
-There have been suspicious cases.
-Which cases are you referring to?
Just various ones, I'm not talking about
one specific incident.
It feels like you want us here so you can
blame us if something goes wrong.
Wait, excuse me?
You know we're short-staffed
in Pediatrics, don't you?
Going forward, can we not lie
to one another? That's all I'm asking.
Sound good, Doctor?
[sighs heavily]
-[Eun-won] Okay, everyone.
-[Sang-hyeon] Hello, Doctor.
It looks like you guys are
missing lunch again because of the mix-up.
I'm really sorry.
R1, please try not to mess
anything up today.
You can see how hard
everyone is working, right?
[sighs]
Doctor, Yoo Jeong-Hye is on POD two
and has a fever, Room 1013.
We ordered an antipyretic.
Can you check on that?
Yes.
And also,
yes, it's Miss Kim Seon-a, Room 1015,
the professor noted her WBC is high.
So ESR and CRP tests have been requested.
[groans] Can I do some charting first?
-I'm really behind right now.
-Sure.
[cell phone ringing]
Oh. Dr. Ki, I'm here.
[Eun-mi] Nam-kyung, we're at a restaurant
for a quick meal
No thanks, I'm good.
I've just got too much work.
-Oh.
-Would it be okay if I eat later?
Ah. Uh-huh.
And also
[exhales]
Yeom Mi-so is ready
for her dressing change.
[groans]
I'm worried she'll cause
a scene if you're late.
[whines] Gosh, she's so annoying!
And she's always worried about
my dirty hands, so why should I do it?
It's not like a great dressing
is going to cure her,
so why is she so obsessed with it?
Ugh, I hate her guts!
Stop complaining,
come on, it's like she's a
-Ju-yeon, um
-Yes?
Call the intern up for me, all right?
The intern? But why?
I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna change
her dressings anymore.
[sighs]
[sighs] That's pretty bad, yeah.
Isn't it? Why treat an R1 like that?
It's going too far, right?
-I agree.
-[siren wailing]
-Wow.
-[cell phone ringing]
The fifth ambulance to come in.
Then, the ER's going to be
stretched thin, huh?
-Yeah, yeah, on my way.
-[cell phone ringing]
Doctor, sorry, but Pediatrics is calling.
-I'm 30 seconds away.
-See you later.
[cell phone ringing]
Yes, this is Um Jae-il.
I'm gonna expedite the C
from earlier today.
And I informed Surgery
about the patient in OR 11.
Should I meet you in the OR?
[Da-hye] It's all right,
I can wrap up with the intern.
Oh. Okay.
So I'm just being dismissed, then?
-[Da-hye] Uh, yeah.
-[doctor] Da-hye!
[Da-hye] Yeah, I'm coming!
Uh, yeah, you can leave
for the day, thank you.
[line disconnects]
[sighs]
[Sa-bi] This is the first time in my life
that I've ever been scolded.
Is this what it means
to be on someone's bad side?
Like when they're on you like a hawk?
Yeah, I think so.
I really do admire how
Professor Seo works, though.
She's why I joined Obstetrics.
She must've felt disappointed in me
to say all that, huh?
What do I do now?
I couldn't say, Sa-bi.
I'm always a disappointment
to everyone else,
so I'm not that worried.
Don't know about you, though.
And a patient said earlier
that she thinks I'm not fit
to be a doctor at all.
Seems like what I'd say.
That's harsh.
Oh Yi-young.
Do you think that I'm not fit
to be a doctor like she said?
I don't deserve to be, right?
You plan to quit?
You being serious?
Today?
I'm giving it one more go
before I call it quits.
I won't. I can't just quit.
I really want to be a doctor.
Do it. If you want to be one.
Yeah? Then I'm doing it.
Go ahead.
I'll speak to my patient
once more, then. See ya.
[sighs] She's got
a screw loose, doesn't she?
[typing]
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
MYOUNG EUN-WON
[sighs]
Don't forget I need
research consent forms signed
for the patients with surgery tomorrow.
But I again?
[Eun-won] Sorry? What was that? Hello?
[sighs]
I'll get them signed.
[Eun-won] Oh, I didn't get
your check-in photo this morning.
-Sorry?
-Send your picture.
Don't tell me you're ready to quit
after only a couple days.
[sighs] I'm sorry about that,
I must've forgotten.
[scoffs softly]
Are you sure you're being honest?
Don't form a habit of lying.
It's best to snip bad habits
from the start.
On that note, this isn't your home,
so you can't pick and choose
which tasks you feel like doing.
That's not how you work
within a team environment.
I'm just saying this for your own good,
remember, so from now on
[scoffs]
Oh, no, looks like
I got to her. [chuckles]
Why?
She's the one who turns down everything.
She's totally off her rocker.
The nerve on her. [sighs]
Think I'll take this crap
just 'cause I'm broke? Well, I won't.
-I never wanted to be here.
-[alarm sounds]
[woman over PA]
Code blue, OB/GYN department.
Basement Level 1, main building,
code blue, OB/GYN department.
-The cancer patient.
-[announcement continues]
No, wait
Obstetric patient?
All the on-call staff are in surgery now.
Code blue, OB/GYN department,
Basement Level 1
[exhales] There's no one around.
Ah, jeez.
Dang it!
[growls] Pick up already!
[panting rhythmically]
OB/GYN department, please move.
Is the patient okay? Let me take over.
Three, two, one!
Dr. Kong Gi-sun's surgery is
nearly over, I got the OR next door.
Once she's done,
she'll go there and do a C-section.
-We have a gurney.
-I'll take over now. Three, two, one.
[panting rhythmically]
-Lift the head, I got her leg.
-[Jung-min] Be careful.
[fellow] All together. Three, two, one!
-Begin CPR right now.
-Yes, Doctor.
[doctor] Excuse me.
What happened?
-Great work, now go.
-I should go?
-There's no one to assist them. Beat it!
-Oh, uh, okay.
Is everything all right?
-Are you on call tonight?
-Ah, yes.
-So why not answer my call?
-I was in surgery.
Right. I see.
Which room? I'm sorry
I was in the surgical unit as well.
Oh. Well, uh
I was going into surgery,
but the operation was cancelled.
-I'm really sorry.
-Why are you sorry?
For lying about surgery?
Or because there was a code blue
while you were off who knows where?
I
Don't bother with that.
Our paths won't be crossing again.
[sighs softly]
You really are something,
aren't you, Doctor?
Still in your first year, and unfazed.
How are you calm now?
That mother and infant are all right,
thanks to you.
That was really great work.
That means a lot.
You should check the mom's vitals
for a few days.
I will. Wait
Uh
Excuse me. You want me to
check on her? Really?
Who else would do it?
I'll do it.
You really are leagues ahead
of Doctor Kim Sa-bi.
I'm impressed, mm.
Join Obstetrics.
-If you come to us, then
-Thanks, I'm fine.
No, sorry, what I meant is that I'm okay
just the way things are, Professor.
Have a good night.
[professor groans]
They're all the same, aren't they?
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
[door opens]
-[door closes]
-What's the you're here already?
Oh. I guess you haven't left yet?
Not "haven't." I "couldn't."
But I swear, today is
[inhales] the last day.
What's that bag for?
Are you running away or something?
It's just, I'm over this.
Can it wait? I haven't prepared
for the rounds yet.
[whines loudly]
I forgot to look at the X-ray, crap!
And the dressings! When am I
supposed to get those done?
-Sa-bi, listen
-[door closes]
I went to talk to her.
She wouldn't let me in the door.
She didn't want to speak with me.
I can't keep going on like this.
-[knock on door]
-[door opens]
Um Jae-il, everyone's been feeling a
Good morning.
-Oh, hello.
-Hello.
-Oh, hello.
-Hello.
-Hello, Doctor!
-Had breakfast?
I'm really hungry, but I have to go.
I got burgers. Have one before you
-Hey, what's up with
-Thank you so much.
[pleasant song playing]
[sighs]
[cell phone buzzes]
SPRING GIVEAWAY EVEN
[groans]
That's right.
No point coming back in.
I'm a nuisance. A dead weight.
It's better if I'm not there.
[cell phone buzzes]
[grunts]
DR. CHA DA-HYE
Yes, I'm on my way.
I didn't run away, I'll be there soon!
-[Da-hye] What was that? Doctor?
-Oh, oh, oh.
Doctor, can you hear me?
Yes, Doctor, I'm here, I'm so sorry.
I didn't plan to escape or anything
[Da-hye] Today's surgery
is five hours long,
and there's nothing for you to do.
You're not required to come in,
so get some sleep.
[sighs softly]
She doesn't even know
that I'm running away.
-[professor] Pyo Nam-kyung.
-Yes?
Is that a hamburger you're staring at?
Come on.
Your dressings
are getting complaints. Why?
-You see
-[professor] What?
Uh, I'm sorry, sir.
Aren't dressings what
you're most competent at?
It's not many patients, get to it.
[sighs, whimpers]
[sighs]
Oh, Doctor?
Patient Yeom Mi-so
has been desperately asking for you.
-Says her dressing change is overdue.
-No!
[breath trembles]
Send anyone but me.
Uh, I can't. She's still angry with
the intern who assisted her yesterday.
She also said she prefers
the dressing change when you do it.
[groans, whimpers]
[sighs wearily]
Try not to press too hard.
Please be as gentle as you can.
Of course.
Mm. Uh
I owe you an apology.
Uh
I'm very sorry. I'm sure another
doctor can help moving forward
Wait, no.
I'd like you to keep on doing it.
Huh?
[Mi-so] Four times a day
like you are now.
I can talk to the professor
if that isn't possible for any reason.
Oh, that's all right, sure.
It isn't a problem at all.
[chuckles awkwardly]
[sniffling]
Professor Kong Gi-sun came over,
and she yelled really loud,
and said I should get out. [sniffles]
Doctor Seo Jung-min can't even stand
to look at me ever since then.
And now, I can't be a doctor,
I don't think.
-[crying]
-[cell phone ringing]
[sniffles]
MYOUNG EUN-WON
Just pick up, okay?
Go ahead. Go on, I'm fine.
It's not that.
I'm waiting for tomorrow.
Just so you know
Today's my last day.
[Sa-bi] Oh, you're leaving?
To the ward? Or some OR?
No, neither.
[footsteps approaching]
-Oh, hello.
-Hey.
-Hello.
-I was about to call you guys.
Sa-bi, I saw Eun-mi waiting
in the cafeteria.
I forgot, oh!
-Please excuse me.
-Enjoy your lunch.
Doctor Oh Yi-young
I wrapped up my tasks already, didn't I?
Yeah, I have a big favor to ask of you.
Meet me outside the ER in ten minutes.
[sighs]
-I contacted Songdo to let them know.
-I'm going alone?
Yeah.
But on the way, if she should happen
to give birth,
hold the cord firmly, then clamp it,
and snip it with sterile scissors.
You're the attending physician and lead
surgeon on this trip now. You understand?
You're not falling for it. Darn.
Not so gullible, are you?
If it was risky, you'd be the one going.
Yeah, you're right.
Don't be worried. We checked
on the condition of the patient.
Nothing will happen on the way.
And take a chance to refresh
while you're out.
[cell phone ringing]
Okay, bye.
Hey. I'm coming in.
[sighs]
Well, it's really nice weather
for a grand escape.
-Hello.
-Hello, Doctor!
-How long will we be on the road.
-An hour or so, not long.
Oh. Oh, I see.
Tell me if you're experiencing
any pain or discomfort.
All right, I will. Thanks.
[indistinct chatter]
[cell phone buzzing]
Mm, hello, Doctor.
[Da-hye] You're having lunch! Sorry, would
you be able to get here in ten minutes?
Sure, of course, I'll be right there.
[grunts]
Oh, hey, it's you! Nam-kyung, am I right?
-[gasps]
-Oh! It is you, hey!
So you've been working here?
Oh, that's right, Jongno Yulje.
Sorry to bother you during lunch.
Please eat.
Oh, no, it's all right, I'm done eating.
So why are you here, Hye-seon?
Is something wrong?
The director of the health center here
is my father-in-law's friend.
It's just an annual checkup
before my wedding.
Oh, that's right,
you're getting married soon.
I wanna see you at the wedding. All right?
-Mm-hm, I'll go.
-Mm.
Gosh, I almost didn't recognize you
at first.
You're totally different.
-[chuckles] I've been busy lately.
-Hmm.
Oh. Hold on a sec.
Ah, I don't wanna run late.
Time to head out.
-I'll leave you to it.
-Oh. Oh, okay.
See ya.
[cell phone buzzing]
Hello?
[Ju-yeon] Miss Yeom Mi-so is complaining
her wound seems to be oozing more.
She's asking why she wasn't given
any painkillers,
and she thinks her heart rate is high.
She's concerned.
-I think you should come
-No I'm not going.
[Ju-yeon] Sorry?
Seems to me this is about
getting revenge for insulting her.
So I'm not playing her games.
Make her do it by herself
or get an intern.
Just tell her it's not my job anymore.
[panting]
I'm done.
I'm so over this.
[panting]
[slow, groovy song playing on radio]
-Hello.
-Oh, hello there.
-So where to?
-Myeong Apartments.
No. A bathhouse instead.
Uh, no. A big mall.
-Or any mall nearby, if you can.
-Uh, sure, to the mall.
-[exhales]
-[song continues on radio]
-Could you turn that up louder? Thanks.
-[driver] No problem.
[volume increases]
[song continues]
[sniffles]
NURSE JU-YEON
[cell phone buzzing]
Mr. Driver, can you turn
the car around, please? Hurry!
[song ends]
[breathes deeply]
[inhales sharply]
Help me. I'm feeling cramps
all of a sudden, it hurts.
-No, that can't be right.
-[patient] It hurts.
[inhales] It's changed
from how I was feeling before.
Can you double check for me?
-Where exactly is the pain at now?
-[inhales sharply] Oh.
All of the cramps are on the left side.
Give me a minute.
-[line rings]
-[Do-won] Hello?
Oh, Doctor, we're still
30 or more minutes away.
Patient's belly's cramping
on the left side. What do I do?
Tell me how bad the pain is.
Bowel movement? Is it that?
-Do you feel like going number two at all?
-[inhales sharply]
No, it's doesn't feel like that at all.
Uh, I guess the pain's not bad.
Doesn't sound like a bowel movement.
Amniotic fluid leaking?
There's no amniotic fluid.
Doesn't seem too urgent, so keep checking
the Doppler on the fetal heart rate.
Manually check contractions
for the moment, okay?
-Try calming the patient down.
-Okay, stay calm, got it.
[groans softly]
[breathing heavily]
[machine warbling]
Hey, can we maybe move faster?
[breath trembling]
-[automated voice] The person
-Why isn't she answering the phone?
You are being transferred to voicemail.
Call charges will apply
[Ju-yeon] Leaving a message
since you're not picking up.
Can you organize
the IV lines in Room 1011?
Room 1011? Yeom Mi-so is in there.
Why would the IV need re-organizing?
[panting]
PATIENT NAME
[imperceptible]
Hey, where were you?
Dr. Ku came in and took care of
the IV lines already.
But what happened? Where is she?
[sobbing]
Nurse, wait a moment.
-I'll change her dressing one more time.
-What?
Yesterday, I didn't get around to it,
and then I probably missed a few today.
Let me help her one more time,
if that's okay.
[woman] That's okay with me.
But you've washed your hands, right?
[exhales]
I'll wash my hands first [gasps]
But you're
I forgot my glasses.
Just look at you, you're running late
by a whole hour.
And now my wound is oozing,
and my heart feels strange.
[sighs] Don't scare us like that!
I was worried, you know?
I changed rooms.
I'm next door
because the window is larger.
Ah.
All right, sounds good.
Hmph.
[sniffles]
[sniffles]
If it gets contaminated,
it'll get infected.
[sniffles] Oh, it's just my eye.
It's a little irritated.
You sounded like a doctor
when you said that.
When you're here as often as I am,
you pick things up.
Well, don't worry okay?
I washed my hands twice,
and the gloves are brand new too.
[sniffles]
Is it that I'm way too needy, or
did you get in trouble
just because of what I said?
Neither of those.
I'm just disappointed with myself.
I want to say I'm sorry
for being an inconvenience.
I know I can be difficult.
You aren't at all.
The doctor told me you were really good
at bandaging wounds.
I know there's no magic
to applying dressings or anything.
But I was secretly hoping I would
get better if I had someone like you.
When you've been sick for a while,
you just can't help it, you know?
I'm not trying to be annoying.
I just
can't help being selfish at times.
I apologize.
Actually, I'll have you know
there really is magic to all this.
I would know.
Having your wounds properly dressed means
you will heal faster and go home sooner.
And no one does it as good as I do.
Seriously, no other resident here
is as good as I am.
[chuckles, sniffles]
So, tomorrow, you'll do it again?
Of course. Four times a day.
Just once will do.
Just one more visit tomorrow.
Take the tube out.
You're getting discharged?
Oh, that's amazing news!
I'm so relieved for you. [sniffles]
You're really excited
to see me go, aren't you?
No, that's not true at all, I swear.
It's not. It's just
You're getting discharged,
that's really good news! [sniffles]
Just so you know,
I'm also great at taking out nasal tubes.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[sniffles]
SONGDO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
[machine beeping steadily]
Are you okay there?
[sighs heavily]
[sighs]
[sighs]
-Dr. Oh Yi-young?
-Yes!
-Hello there
-Oh. Hello.
[chuckles]
Jongno Yulje hospital sent you.
-Uh, why are you still here?
-Is the patient all right? Is she okay?
-Oh.
-[Yi-young] I just wanted to check.
She started cramping
on our way here, and then,
she would say she's okay, then she'd be
in real pain and want us to go faster.
[sighs] The doctor at our hospital
said not to worry.
[chuckles] Ku Do-won I assume?
Yes.
I hadn't dealt with anything like this
as an R1 yet. I'm still new.
I started to worry
even though I don't know her.
Her cramps were due to
the tocolytic she received earlier
not entering her system like it should've.
Oh.
But she's doing just fine now.
No need to worry at all.
[sighs in relief]
-Were you that worried for her?
-Yeah.
When an R4 tells you it will all be fine,
then it's all going to work out.
And if for some reason it doesn't,
the R4 is responsible.
That's the good thing
about your days as an R1.
If something happens, it's the fault
of someone above you who gets in trouble.
You're right. It's Ku Do-won
who's really at fault.
[chuckles]
But still, even if I wasn't at fault,
if something did happen
to one of our patients,
it would be hard to forget something
like that. Don't you think?
I guess I better take off.
Mm.
Just a minute, Dr. Oh Yi-Young
Uh
Some coffee before you go?
-Now?
-Mm.
Oh.
SONGDO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
If you're already being assigned
transfers, you must be a talented R1.
Oh, thank you.
Your seniors at the hospital
must really love you.
They definitely don't.
Hey, come on, it'd be weird
not to love you.
As an R1, I only just squeaked by
the first year.
I would get scolded over and over,
day and night.
In fact, all the professors
screamed at me.
When you're new of course,
you're clueless, hmm?
I didn't realize at the time
why they yelled. [sighs]
It wasn't until later on
I finally figured out the reason.
I was a robot in those days.
I obeyed every order.
A diligent soldier
who followed every rule.
No empathy or genuine concern for any
of the patients who were in my care.
It's not something you can learn, and it's
not anything anyone can teach you.
I was so oblivious.
And yet, I can see it's something
you manage to do naturally.
[uplifting music playing]
You should go before rush hour.
Here, take this.
What's this for?
It's quite important.
Deliver it to Dr. Ku right away.
Uh
SONGDO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Sure.
It's regarding a patient,
so please make sure he gets it. Hmm?
Hmm?
-All right.
-[chuckles]
-I appreciate it.
-[phone rings]
Oh, just a minute.
Ah.
Hi, honey, how are you?
Uh-huh.
Kalguksu? That sounds great.
Yeah. And kimchi.
Don't forget that too. Mm.
[chuckles] Mm.
Yeah, okay.
And I love you a lot! Mm-hmm.
Yeah, okay, see you. Mm.
[chuckles]
Oh. We're newlyweds. [laughs]
Ah.
[chuckles] Well,
I guess that's it for now.
-Thanks for everything
-Hey, don't be so modest. [chuckles]
One last thing. You did well today.
Dr. Oh, let's meet again.
[hopeful music playing]
[sighs] Oh, jeez.
[gasps] Hello.
Let's chat for a minute.
Sure.
I've been observing.
What?
In the MFICU lately.
Cheon Eun-pyo, I mean.
Oh, yes.
-Sorry about that.
-Nothing to say sorry for.
Don't make it harder than it needs to be.
So, how about you try something else?
Sorry?
[soft indistinct chatter]
I'll do better, I'm sorry!
[man snoring]
[snoring continues]
[sighs]
Ow! Ugh, darn it!
[snoring continues]
[snoring]
Hey, hello?
[snoring softly]
Doctor, hey.
I can't get any sleep
with you snoring out here.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Ugh, what is this?
A kind of retaliation or what?
I will accept your apology, okay?
So just go.
Actually, I wasn't
trying to say sorry.
It's that I'm worried.
Why is that?
Dr. Seo Jung-min said
to do something useful
instead of something you aren't good at.
I analyzed your charts. It seems to me
that your resting blood pressure
has increased over the last couple days.
This morning, it rose to 150/90,
plus you also had a headache.
So in my opinion, you're at risk
for preeclampsia,
going off of what the charts show.
Sorry?
And it can lead to convulsions
and seizures.
Well [sighs]
If you're so worried,
come back here in the morning.
Just come again in the morning,
we'll check on it then.
I can,
but your blood test results are close
to done now anyway, so
I was going to wait
until the results came out.
I didn't realize I was snoring.
And I don't sleep that much normally
No, hey, just leave it. Calm down.
-[crashes]
-[patient gasps]
Oh, Doctor! Doctor!
Nurse! Cheon Eun-pyo collapsed!
Hurry, hook her up right away
to a monitor!
Out of the way, everyone, please!
-Doctor, it's for you.
-Oh, you're here.
The Songdo Yulje Doctor said
to give you this.
She said it was important
you get it right away.
[Do-won] Mm.
And she requested you call her
to confirm receipt.
Ah, right.
Oh, I, uh, almost forgot.
-Thank you.
-It's nothing.
-[Do-won] Mm.
-I'll go.
You wanna stay to observe?
You haven't seen a twin birth yet.
Um
No, thank you.
I'll see you later.
All right, see you later.
-Are we ready?
-[residents] Yes.
-Bring the patient.
-[resident] Yes, Doctor.
[doctor] Dr. Oh Yi-young?
Yes, Doctor.
Because of you, Dr. Joo Sang-hyeon
got in trouble with the professor today.
-Sorry?
-[sighs]
Tell me what GA is.
What is GA? Tell me.
General anesthesia.
You do know that there are
two types of GA, right?
Full-body and lower-body.
How are any of us
supposed to know which one?
If you just say GA, it leads to confusion.
You need to be more specific
in all of your notifications.
It doesn't get any more basic than that.
But I've never referred to
lower-body anesthesia as GA.
I always note it as spinal.
Full-body anesthesia
is the only one I call GA.
That's what I've been doing
this whole time.
So it's our fault, then? [scoffs, inhales]
Recite your notification, word for word.
Go on, tell me. Let's see who's right.
Doctor, that time, I was
What's wrong?
Do you not remember what you said, then?
Repeat it. I want to hear it.
[Do-won] Go ahead.
You can do it.
Repeat your notification word for word.
[Yi-young exhales]
Patient Jang Mi-hwa.
There's a problem with the fetal
heart rate, so prepare for GA.
[scoffs]
Same notification I gave today.
So what's the problem here, Doctor?
Hmm?
Uh, well, then,
why was there an issue with the prep?
If you don't like the current method
of notifications,
you need to discuss it
with the professors in our department.
It's how we all communicate,
so we can't resolve it at our level.
Oh, well, I'm not
saying it needs to be changed.
But things always go wrong
when this doctor gets involved.
I wanted to set things straight.
And after that other time
What's this "other time"
you're referring to?
I heard it from Sang-hyeon.
He said Dr. Oh lied about an emergency
so that her patient could get
her C-section performed at night instead.
It's outrageous.
-Uh, doctor, that was
-[Do-won] You're wrong.
That may have been the end result,
but I'm certain that Dr. Oh didn't lie
to secure an OR.
Our R1s don't behave like that.
I haven't taught them that way,
and that's never happened before.
I'm sure Dr. Myoung here
will vouch for that too.
[Eun-won] Huh?
Oh, right. I've been meaning
to talk to you about that.
It seems there was some miscommunication.
Sorry.
Well, since it looks like everyone's
ready to start, I should go scrub up.
Explain yourself.
Well, uh
I heard it from Dr. Um Jae-il.
He told me that he was actually
with Dr. Oh
when Dr. Myoung called
saying there was an emergency.
And that's why Dr. Oh requested
an OR urgently.
Yeah. I heard the same thing.
I see.
You should've
told me sooner, Sang-hyeon.
-I'm sorry.
-[Yi-young clears throat]
I really wouldn't do that.
I'm not that kind of person.
Even so, it did end up causing issues
for the Anesthesia department,
so I'd like to apologize again.
I'll make sure miscommunications
like that don't happen.
And, uh,
going forward, please allow me
to discipline our R1s.
If they do anything wrong,
let me know right away.
I'll handle it myself.
That's fine by me.
Let's begin the prep.
You staying?
Yeah.
RECOVERY WARD
Oh, Doctor? [breathing heavily]
Is everything okay? Is my baby all right?
Yes.
Then, can I go visit? I'm all right now.
-I feel just fine.
-You can't, Miss.
Oh.
Sorry, it's just that you need
to rest and avoid standing,
for at least the next six to eight hours.
You'll likely be too dizzy
to walk around now.
That is, walking is likely to be
challenging for you currently.
At least it seems like
you're pretty consistent, huh?
Yes.
So, uh, when you said
that I'm really not a great fit
for a doctor,
I tried to give up on the goals I had.
But I would still really like to,
one day, be a doctor.
-It's the only thing I want to be, see.
-Great, then do it!
I was just mad at the time.
I'm not the kind to ruin
someone's career, come on.
Our Hui-mang, he had a twin originally,
until I lost him about seven months
or so into the pregnancy.
Yes. I saw that they wrote that down.
I had lots of clothes,
strollers, and pacifiers.
In sets of two, ready for the twins.
And now I'm not going to need
any matching sets.
And I didn't think anyone would want to be
given things meant for a dead child.
Still, I'm not sure I could
toss them in the trash, either.
So, in the future
I want to have another child.
Ah.
[Eun-pyo] I'm so sick and tired
of the IVF, the toll it takes,
I can hardly stand it.
But I'll go in and do it all again.
So, will you please
deliver my second child?
[sighs]
Your second will also arrive by Cesarean,
more like extracting
rather than delivering.
If your next pregnancy occurs too soon,
chances of preterm birth will increase
[groans] I was just trying to say sorry!
[groans in pain]
[groans]
I'm trying to say sorry. That's what
this is! Is it that hard to see?
Ah.
[groans]
I'd like to also say that I'm sorry.
And I'd like to express
my gratitude for your
heartfelt words.
[chuckles]
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
[sighs softly]
Nobody knows I'm running away.
So then what am I even doing here?
[cell phone ringing]
PYO NAM-KYUNG
-[Nam-kyung] Hey!
-Oh, my god!
Uh, what?
[Nam-kyung] What are you doing?
Where are you?
We're all waiting!
Don't you know we need you?
What do
you need me for, huh?
Why? You really need me?
[Nam-kyung] Whatever. You have one second
to haul your ass over here.
[line disconnects]
[chuckles]
Thanks for the document, Doctor.
All because of that, we didn't lose an R1.
How'd you know she'd run?
No R1 would ever transfer a patient
with a backpack that huge
unless she was booking it.
Do-won, look after that one, okay?
Yeah, she's a keeper.
[Min-ha] Just so you know,
she's quite impressive,
I saw that right away.
Sort of like when you were an R1.
Hang on, I wasn't like her.
I was proficient, even then.
-[chuckles]
-[Min-ha] Anyway, bye for now.
Thanks so much, bye now.
Whoa, what
Hey, great job today.
Oh, thanks. You too.
What's wrong?
Go home already.
Okay.
What? You feeling sick?
Not at all.
Beat it, then.
Okay.
You're not running, right?
So I better see you tomorrow, understand?
You will. Don't worry,
I will be back tomorrow.
And for every day going forward.
Is that clear? Keep at it, all right?
You can't go anywhere.
I mean
you're still 50 million won in debt.
Don't forget it. Gotta pay that off.
I'll see you here tomorrow then,
Oh Yi-young. Good night.
[clears throat]
-Where were you? Hurry, sit down!
-What is it? Something going on?
Of course.
There's always something going on.
Hey! You need me for something?
Yeah, we need you right now.
You mean it? Why?
-To complete our report and leave.
-Ah!
We all have to be here during the call.
[sighs] I swear she's just evil.
Oh, the usual relay?
Well, whatever.
You need me, don't you, guys? Right?
-Yeah, of course.
-Obviously, yeah.
MYOUNG EUN-WON
I'll go first, 'kay?
[ringing continues]
[clears throat]
Hello, Doctor.
So I haven't done a thing today.
I haven't had any patients.
-Sorry?
-What? Start again?
-He didn't mess up, why?
-Did something confuse her?
[Jae-il] Oh, uh, sure. Thank you.
So the relay calls
aren't required after all.
What?
Senior residents will send
the notes from now on!
-Really?
-[Jae-il] Yeah.
-So um
-[squeals]
We can go now!
Hey, come on, hurry, go change!
Let's go. Come on, let's run!
[grunts]
Ow. Why is this so hot?
You asked for it hot.
So how did you get Dr. Myoung
to spare those R1s
and end those relay reports for good?
I mean, she's gotten famous
for being difficult.
[sighs] Give and take?
In return for ignoring
an oversight, I guess.
-Sorry?
-It's nothing, really.
[chuckles] That means that
I can put Um Jae-il to use going forward?
I can't do backup duty any longer.
Okay, starting now,
you have my permission.
The kids will be fine for a while.
And thanks to my meal delivery service,
they'll have full bellies to keep them
happy when they're down.
Doctor, it's sleep, okay? I'm telling you.
Sleep really resets your mood,
therefore I think it's crucial.
That's why I did extra charting
and assisting in surgeries,
so Jae-il could sleep.
Besides, I didn't want him to end up hurt.
But it's so hard
trying to get him out of the ward.
No, no, no.
No!
It's not food and it's not sleep!
You still don't know?
You're both so clueless.
-Ow, that's hot!
-Ouch.
Ugh, how dumb can you be?
[laughs]
No, it's today.
Mm.
-Today's the day.
-What day's that?
Pay day.
-Ah! [laughs]
-Ah, you're right!
I was wondering, why I was
in such a great mood today.
-That's it!
-Mm. [laughs]
Speaking of which,
wanna grab something to eat?
I'll treat you guys,
since I earn a bit more.
-Oh, you serious?
-Right?
-[chuckles]
-Let's go.
-Oh!
-Let's go somewhere fancy.
There's no fancy restaurant.
[squealing excitedly]
-You all got paid too, right?
-Sure did!
Ugh, even with the paycheck,
I'm still behind. It sucks.
Don't most people buy their parents
long johns with their first paychecks?
Kim Sa-bi. You doing that?
Who still buys thermals now?
Just get Hottech.
I'm gonna take a small vacation.
Use up all my days.
-We get vacation days?
-Of course we do.
-What job doesn't these days?
-Yes!
Oh, man, I'm hungry.
I haven't had a bite today.
Oh! Let's go eat to celebrate
our first paychecks, okay?
A pasta place nearby is open till late.
Wanna go?
-Pasta's too heavy this late.
-[Sa-bi] I don't eat late at night.
I'd rather eat by myself.
Another time, yeah?
Well, better get going then.
-Oh.
-Yeah, bye, guys!
-Okay.
-See ya.
Another time.
There will be another meal.
[cell phone ringing]
-Yes, what is it?
-[Da-hye] Dr. Um.
We're at the pasta place by the hospital.
If you haven't eaten, do you want to
Yes! I'm on my way!
Thank you, Doctor!
[upbeat song playing]
THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, AHN EUN-JIN,
OUR ETERNAL CHU MIN-HA
RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
[Eun-mi] The R1s
have a lot on their plate.
So things take longer,
because they're not up to speed yet.
Oh, you see, I am still
a first year resident.
There isn't much
for me to tell you right now, sorry.
You keep telling me you don't know.
Seems like you know even less than I do
as the patient, goodness sake.
It doesn't get more basic than this!
Come on!
[Da-hye] You can't fall apart
when things get tough!
Why can't you even pretend to be cheerful?
If we're struggling, how do we hide it?
-Hospital work is hard when you hate it.
-You're so selfish!
[Jae-il] What's the point of books
and papers just to cram it into your head?
Studying alone doesn't help
in real-life situations.
-Whoa, Um Jae-il.
-For me? Wow, is it really?
[Do-won] It's a first
in the history of OB/GYN R1s.
[Jae-il] If you're unsure, say this
There's no easy solution!
You don't know anything, either.
[Jae-il] Don't you think it's impressive?
[Jung-min] Where's Ku Do-won?
I don't see the Chief!
[Nam-kyung] You keep on looking,
and you keep on smiling.
So what could that be,
besides love?
