You who are close yet far away (緣)

Episode 3 | What the heck is right?

It was when I was in my second year of high school.

I promised myself that I would become a doctor like that person.

I almost lost the person I loved the most.

To avoid becoming someone like me again, study hard

My dream came true.

Although I couldn't see that person when I entered the hospital.

Jiying -

서여주

How is it, is it serious?

김석진

It's still very dangerous because he's still young.

김석진

Still, I have to try my best.

김지수

His vitals are unstable and he suffered a major laceration to his chest from the car accident.

김지수

Since I am a TA, I also contacted Professor Park of the Department of Neurosurgery.

박지민

I'm here_

김지수

Professor Park, I called you because I thought it was a traffic accident and the patient was still young, so I thought the aftereffects would be severe.

김석진

Yes, thank you for your hard work.

김석진

First of all, since it is a bit of a dangerous situation, I think the surgery will take a while.

김석진

Teacher Minjae, I will tell the child's parents exactly what I said.

김석진

The child is in a very dangerous situation_ It will probably take a long time because there are so many damaged parts.

김석진

You must be tired, so get some sleep and come back later_

박민재

all right.

서여주

…Where would the parents be when the child is like this?

김석진

But you still need to rest.

김석진

Let's start the surgery first.

서여주

I think we need to inject ECMO and proceed with incubation.

김석진

Baso input_

박지민

… No matter how I look at it, the sequel seems like it’ll be bad.

* ECMO: (ECMO) A device that removes blood from a patient's body, supplies oxygen to it, and then reintroduces it into the body.

* Vaso: (Vaso) One of the drugs used to raise blood pressure

* Sequelae: (Sequelae) aftereffects

서여주

Are there any medical students in this operating room?

양지원

Oh, there I am.

서여주

What should I be careful about when stitching out a patient like this?

* Stitch out: (Stitch out) Removal of thread

양지원

… Oh, uh, sorry.

서여주

If you're a regular student, isn't this the time to study a lot?

서여주

I'll ask again tomorrow. What if you still don't answer then?

서여주

Then let's come to CS.

* CS: (Cardiothoracic Surgery) Thoracic Surgery

김석진

What are you talking about_

김석진

What is PICU?

양지원

Oh, this is the pediatric intensive care unit.

김석진

Oh, what the heck, was the problem too easy?

김석진

I can't come to the pediatric surgery department_

박지민

Hey, Vital is back.

서여주

great job_

김석진

Oh, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat?

서여주

tteokbokki?

박지민

Oh, are you kidding me?

박지민

I go out every day without even eating half of the tteokbokki.

박지민

Let's just eat some kimbap and have meat for dinner.

서여주

Hmm_ okay.

김석진

Anyway, Park Jimin, just do whatever you want.

박지민

Don't even eat meat, you unlucky bastard.

박지민

First, CS teacher Kim Ji-soo and teacher Park Min-jae will finish up and come out.

박지민

Did you say Yang Ji-won?

박지민

There's no need to come to the neurosurgery department because it's already crowded.

박지민

If you're going to go, go to GS or CS.

양지원

… Ah, yes!

박지민

take care_

박지민

Where is Jung Ho-seok?

김석진

He said it was already our room.

서여주

He doesn't have much to do today_ He's been going around to various hospitals lately because he got infected by Seokjin Kim.

서여주

Very popular, very popular.

김석진

Dude, you're talking really weird_ It's not that he passed it on to me, it's that he's always been like that.

김석진

And I told you not to say that I was moving.

박지민

Hey, be quiet_

박지민

Why are you talking so much?

김석진

… I'm really upset with you

김석진

From now on, get out of my sight.

박지민

You don't eat meat?

서여주

Jimin, let's eat together.

서여주

If you keep that guy around, it'll be noisy_ I think my head is going to explode.

박지민

Hey, if your head explodes you'll die - do you know how big a deal that is?

서여주

…You don’t come either.

서여주

Aren't you working?

서여주

Or do you have no work?

정호석

And playing -

서여주

Yeah, that, going to the outpatient clinic for the patient who had surgery the day before yesterday.

정호석

Seeing an outpatient is the most important thing_ Don't ignore an outpatient.

서여주

Hey, I'm a doctor too_ I see outpatients too.

김석진

Excuse me, can I have some food?

김석진

… would you please keep your mouth shut?

박지민

Fighting all the time, all the time.

서여주

… are you dissatisfied?

박지민

No, well, I'm not familiar with it.

정호석

Oh right, I got a call from Kim Yoo-jung this morning.

서여주

Why him? He hasn't contacted me once since I transferred to the hospital.

정호석

You may come back to our hospital again_

박지민

So what did you say?

정호석

What can I say_ I just said I knew.

김석진

Why doesn't he contact Seo Yeo-ju and instead contact you?

정호석

You guys were in surgery, so I tried calling you but you didn't answer, so I made a deal.

서여주

Well, that's what I said_ It's good to see you after a long time.

서여주

… Hey, do you guys know someone named Kim Taehyung?

김석진

Kim Taehyung? Are you from our hospital?

서여주

I don't know, but I heard that voice somewhere.

정호석

Oh, is that the person who called earlier?

서여주

Yeah, but there's something strange.

서여주

That person and I have the same number.

박지민

What are you talking about_ There's no such thing.

박지민

What is it, show me?

서여주

It's really the same thing, right?

서여주

What the heck, where did this go?

서여주

I clearly called before the surgery..?

정호석

You must have seen it wrong_ Go eat.

서여주

No_ It really was the same number as mine.

서여주

But why isn't it in the call log..?

김석진

Hey, I know everyone at this hospital, but I've never seen anyone with that name in our hospital.

김석진

Eat.

Tiring ringing ...

박지민

Hey, I'm calling.

박지민

I'm going first.

정호석

Yeah, good job_

김석진

There are many professors in neurosurgery besides Park Jimin, so why do I always get calls from Park Jimin?

정호석

Because Park Jimin does it the best.

서여주

Oh, it definitely existed.

김석진

I see_ You're right.

김석진

Please put your phone down and eat.

서여주

It's definitely true_ I saw it clearly.

김지수

…what is it?

김지수

Professor, why are you like this?

오 간호사

I don't know, me either.

오 간호사

He came back after eating and is still in this state.

김지수

Wasn't lunch weird..?

김지수

No, I definitely enjoyed the meal_

서여주

Oh, this is really weird_

서여주

It was definitely a voice and name I had heard somewhere before.

김지수

… No calls today?

Tiring ringing ...

서여주

- Yes, this is Seo Yeo-ju, a thoracic surgeon.

서여주

- Oh, I understand. I'll go down right now.

김지수

why?

서여주

An 11-year-old girl appears to have a heart problem.

서여주

Oh, nurse, I have to go to a meeting later. Please prepare the documents.

오 간호사

all right_

박민재

Oh, you're here.

서여주

Yes, there is an emergency call from the PICU.

서여주

What is the child's name?

박민재

My name is Kim Gyu-ri and I am 11 years old.

박민재

I've had heart disease since birth, and it's gotten worse recently, so I was hospitalized yesterday.

박민재

But the heart rate is unstable.

* Heart rate: (Heart rate) Heart rate

서여주

Yes, I'll go and see first. Professor Kim is inside, right?

김석진

I'm here.

김석진

I just got a call and was on my way.

서여주

My vitals are unstable.

김석진

Let's go and see.

김석진

Are you Gyuri's guardian?

보호자

…yes.

김석진

Don't worry_ Gyuri will get better quickly after surgery.

서여주

I'll take a look first_

서여주

Uh_ Gyuri's heart is really swollen right now. But since she's her age, she's old enough to listen well, so please explain things to her carefully.

서여주

First of all, I think you'll need to be hospitalized for about two weeks. Once the swelling in your heart goes down, you'll undergo surgery.

서여주

Until then, Gyuri may not wake up well.

서여주

We will operate to close the heart valves and have you discharged when you have recovered.

김석진

Even though it looks like this to this teacher, he is good at surgery.

김석진

Don't worry_

보호자

Thank you_ Please take care of me.

서여주

Okay, then I'll see you again tomorrow during rounds.

김석진

You don't have surgery anymore?

서여주

Yeah, there's no surgery, but there is a meeting.

김석진

Oh, that patient with intussusception?

서여주

Yeah, I heard Professor Choi does that too. Can I trust Professor Choi?

김석진

Professor Choi, have you ever had surgery for intussusception?

서여주

Hmm_ Number 2?

김석진

Or you can do it yourself.

서여주

…I?

김석진

Yeah. You do the work and Professor Choi does the homework. When you're done, you finish up and come out.

서여주

Oh_ I see.

김석진

…Aren’t you hungry?

서여주

… Are you a growing child? I don’t know about Park Jimin, but you ate all the kimbap and left.

박지민

I'm hungry.

김석진

Oh, surprise, are you and Jung Ho-seok following us?

김석진

Where did you suddenly appear like this?

박지민

Hey, stop delusional.

박지민

I had to see the PICU too_

Tiring ringing ...

서여주

Hey, I think it's Cole. If you're hungry, you guys eat amongst yourselves -

서여주

- hello?

김태형

- hello.

서여주

- No, why do you keep calling me?

서여주

- Who the hell are you? Do you know me?

김태형

- You walked first.

서여주

- What are you talking about? I heard the phone ring and picked it up.

서여주

- What, is this voice phishing?

서여주

- I'm already so busy, but I don't have any money.

서여주

- There are many people I need to take care of besides you.

김태형

- Who are you?

서여주

- I'm a thoracic surgeon.

서여주

- Are you from our hospital?

김태형

- Seo Yeo-ju, what's the name of that hospital?

서여주

- …Hanyul Hospital.

서여주

- Excuse me_ It looks like you're trying to extract information like this.

김태형

- …Hanyul Hospital?

김태형

- Are you a resident by any chance?

서여주

- Why are there so many questions? No, I'm the professor.

김태형

- … You just came and went as a guardian to our hospital.

서여주

- yes?

Thump -

서여주

hello?

서여주

…what.

정호석

What else_

서여주

No, I keep getting calls from weird people.

정호석

Who is it?

서여주

…It’s Kim Taehyung.

정호석

Are you a doctor?

서여주

He's a doctor at our hospital, but I've never heard of him before.

Tiring ringing ...

정호석

Hey, you're calling from the ER.

* ER: (Emergency Room) Emergency Room

서여주

Oh, I'm really out of my mind today.

서여주

- Yes, this is Seo Yeo-ju, a thoracic surgeon.

서여주

- I'll be there soon.

서여주

Hey, I'm going.

정호석

thanks for your effort_

정호석

taehyoung kim..?

정호석

I've heard that name somewhere.

오 간호사

I am a woman in my 20s and was hit by a motorcycle while I was working.

서여주

What about bleeding?

* Bleeding: (Bleeding) bleeding

오 간호사

The head area is severe.

서여주

First, call the pain medicine department and ask them to dress you. Then, take a CT scan and call me back.

오 간호사

all right.

보호자

Oh, over there, teacher

보호자

My husband keeps complaining of a stomach ache. Could you please take a look?

서여주

Ah_ Yes.

서여주

Patient, you recently had surgery to remove a tumor, right?

서여주

You will feel a bit sore after the tumor is removed. But after about 3 days, you will feel somewhat better.

서여주

After 3 days, you have to exercise hard_

보호자

Ah_ Yes, thank you teacher.

서여주

Then I'll go_

서여주

… isn’t it too late?

김지수

About 3 minutes left.

서여주

1 minute left_

박지민

What, you want to join us?

서여주

Yeah. But the other professors haven't arrived yet?

박지민

Professor Kim is having surgery today, so he said he'll be a little late because he has something to observe.

신교수

hi_

서여주

hello_

박지민

You came earlier than you said?

신교수

Yeah, Professor Kim sent it a little early.

서여주

I have a question for you, Professor. Can I ask it?

신교수

So, what is it?

서여주

Is there anyone named Kim Tae-hyung among the doctors at this hospital?

신교수

…taehyoung kim?

신교수

How do you know Mr. Kim?

서여주

Oh, are you there now?

서여주

Ah, I didn't even know that and I spoke so rudely.

신교수

Oh, Mr. Kim isn't here right now.

신교수

There was a surgery that Mr. Kim was performing before, and a medical accident occurred during the PET scan.

* PET: Positron emission tomography

서여주

…medical accident?

신교수

After that incident, I never saw anyone who was in that operating room again.

신교수

But the hospital doesn't want to let this out.

신교수

There's no point in saying it, it'll just ruin the hospital's image.

신교수

I still think it's right to let you know.

신교수

… I told you this is a secret.

서여주

… Oh, yes.

박지민

…Didn’t you say you talked to that person?

서여주

… did.

I don't know if what the professor said was a lie, or if everything I experienced was a lie.
