Medical Top Team (메디컬 탑팀)

Episode 15

Please press it down here.

Okay.

Hasn't the pulse gotten faster?

No, not at all.

The previous treatment was done well, so no problem.

Also, just in case,

blood pressure medicine is being injected as well.

Yes, you did well.

Yeah.

Hm... Okay, I understand.

Oh, I have work to take care of for the VIP Clinic so...

I'll leave first.

I just don't understand.

The surgery that I pushed forward with Doctor Park Tae Shin,

is changed to a surgery being done by the Top Team.

That you were not aware of it,

I'm a little surprised as well.

I was under the impression that Dr. Park had spoken to you about it.

Since the neurosurgeon and the thoracic surgeon who are participating in the surgery

both belong to Top Team,

so I think that it's only natural that it needs to be a surgery managed by Top Team.

It seems the Director was clearly behind this business, as expected.

Vice President.

Don't underestimate Chief Han.

Don't you think Chief Han moved forward with this kind of trifling matter himself?

I'll excuse myself first.

Find out where Doctor Park Tae Shin is, and tell him to come to my office immediately.

Will do.

In this manner, you bamboozle me?

I wasn't planning on deceiving you on purpose.

While we were preparing for Young Woo's surgery,

Chief Han was very upset.

Since the other doctors might be uncomfortable because of it,

I stepped aside.

Then, you should have told me first.

Even If I had told you,

would you have allowed Young Woo's surgery to proceed?

Even if I had canceled it,

wouldn't Chief Han have done it instead to show me?

The reason why Chief Han coveted doing Young Woo's surgery is

because you promoted it.

If you had taken your hands off,

Chief Han would have done so as well.

Then sick Young Woo would remain again.

As I continue to observe you,

I see a trait in you I like.

The ability to use people.

So, you used me, Dr. Park.

There should be no loss to you, Vice President.

Even if Top Team leads the surgery,

you are the one who pushed this surgery forward.

You and Chief Han, also Young Woo,

isn't it enough if everyone is satisfied?

Now I see that you're not a person

that I should keep at a distance.

Vice President.

I have no interest in getting tangled

in the power struggle between you and Chief Han.

However, even to you as a doctor,

I believe there was a calling.

The energy you're spending on this fight,

I wish you'd expend it on a more meaningful cause.

Are you preaching to me right now?

I'll leave for now.

I excised the adrenal gland. Since there's a possibility of relapse in the future,

we only resected a portion of the kidney tumor.

I also only performed the wedge resection as the lung tubercle was at a favorable location.

Now all we have to do is take it out. Pull back the camera a little bit. - Okay.

[Wedge Resection is a surgical technique, in which the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue is removed.]

The fact that we could do the thoracoscopy

makes it easier to perform the general surgery concurrently.

He wasn't in a good condition to be put under general anesthesia many times.

It's a relief that we only have to do it once.

Thanks to that, I think he'll have a quick recovery too.

About the day after tomorrow, he'll be able to ride a wheelchair around.

Professor Seo.

I enjoyed watching the surgery.

You're certainly living up to your reputation.

You've worked hard.

Let's talk later.

Let's go.

Dr. Bae, why haven't you left yet?

Geez... My partner was working hard in the OR.

How could I have gone home like that?

I guess your date was cancelled again?

I guess I can't deceive you any more.

In any case, the surgery went well.

Yes, I think it went okay.

I see that. It must have been hard to remove the tumor on the brainstem.

It was done nice and neatly.

Don't I look a little different to you?

Well, not quite to that point really.

Are you worried about something?

Yes.

I have a lot to think about.

Anyway, I wonder what Dr. Park Tae Shin is doing...

I know.

He's probably curious about the surgery results.

I'll try to put it in place. -Okay.

One, two, three!

It looks like it's in place.

Take the patient and try taking a CT.

Yes, doctor. Bring a guerney over here.

Yes.

Should I crack your back?

When did you get here?

You must have been crazy busy today.

Did the surgery end?

The brain tumor was excised more easily than we expected, so

we also performed surgeries on the lung, adrenal gland and kidney altogether.

Then Young Woo will be in the ICU.

Doctor!

Doc Kim Sung Woo. You've worked hard.

It was nothing.

How's the levels of electrolytes?

Sodium 122, and the potassium is 4.5.

His hormone level may not be sufficient as we excised his adrenal gland.

That could be. If the blood pressure drops, run the hormone tests.

And administer 50mg of steroid. - Yes, Doctor.

Drink this.

Thank you.

As there's a possibility of tumor appearing again, they only resected a portion of the kidney tumor.

I wonder if the resected area is too close to the tumor.

I think there could be a relapse over here.

However, it will be better for later to restore the kidney function to the maximum.

I think the general surgeon made the right choice.

Take a look at the next one.

This looks good, too.

That's right.

Have you performed surgery with Chief Han?

No.

He's probably busy.

I think so.

There are many things to concern him these days.

Chief Han and I have already said everything there is to say.

Don't extend so much effort by being in the middle.

We probably need more time to feel comfortable with each other again.

Hello.

I took a good look at the VIP Clinic operation report which you gave to Chief Han Seung Jae.

Yes.

But if you continue to operate the clinic in this way through next year,

I can't help but think it will be difficult to generate a significant profit.

I have operated the VIP Clinic for the past two years,

in fact, more than before I took charge of it,

I believe it has grown more in terms of profits.

I don't know. Can you really call that a growth?

For now, I think you should make a more proactive approach starting next year.

There may be many things but

for example, it would be good to modify the list of health exams.

You mean, to include expensive exams, right?

Chief Jang, you're certainly fast.

Since they are VIP customers,

they won't feel particularly offended to see the addition of the expensive exams.

Yes, that would probably be true.

As far as other recommendations,

I've made some notes here.

Please refer to it, and submit to me the operation plan for next year.

Yes, I will submit the operation plan,

but the recommendations you just brought up...

I don't think I'll be able to accept it.

The VIP Clinic,

although the clientele consists of our country's top income earners,

only to increase the hospital's profit,

I don't want to add unnecessary exams. That would be,

to the people who have entrusted me to examine and treat them,

I don't think it will be appropriate courtesy.

Is that so?

Yes. Also...

The recommendations you added here...

to keep to them all...

It will be difficult.

He's saying to report to him.

So?

What about so? So I told him that I couldn't.

Really?

Aigoo, Chief, aren't you coming across a little too strong?

Then what will you do if he says to give up the VIP clinic?

If he wants it, I'll have to give it to him.

What? Chief, perhaps...

Is another place recruiting you ...?

What? Hey, you...

I'm going to have my bones buried here at Kwanghye University Hospital. What are you talking about?

You're someone who doesn't bite more than you can chew.

Right?

Gather together some of the Hyungnims so we can have a drink.

Today? - Yeah.

Chief Shin from General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Pulmonology and...

For now, about that much.

Alright.

Is this the surgery that will be revealed during the live surgery?

Yes, it's called a TAVI. It's a transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

You don't have to open the chest to treat aortic valvular stenosis,

so it's appropriate for aged patients.

It's not a surgery that anyone can do so patients that are difficult to treat, other hospitals can send us many of them.

Yes.

Since Chief Han takes such an active stance,

I feel really good about it.

You, definitely, take after the Chairman.

I doubt that.
