Dr. Romantic (Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim / Nangmandakteo Kimsaboo / 낭만닥터 김사부)

What is it?

Regarding Chairman Shin's artificial heart surgery...

may I be your main assistant?

An age of "needs."

Make sure you're one of the doctors performing that surgery.

Make sure you report each and every thing that happens in there to me.

An age in which one's own desires are outranked by the desires of others.

Have you ever done any chest surgeries before?

An age in which one is forced to live according to the world's standards

before even figuring out what he wants for himself.

I observed a heart transplant surgery once when I was an intern.

He adds detail to support his lies...

After that, I observed one aortic valve surgery

and four cardiovascular bypass surgeries.

and the lies grow larger in size.

I've also observed one ECMO surgery.

And I assisted in two of the surgeries I observed.

One sometimes lies to make himself seem better than he is.

Wow. Having your dad's support really did you a world of good.

You have a lot more experience than I'd thought.

Back then, I was torn between cardiothoracic and general surgery.

So...

But if you come in as my main assistant

you'll be stealing that opportunity from Yoon Seo Jung.

Are you aware of that?

Is it... not possible then?

Eventually, he must even render another's efforts useless

and push them down in order to raise himself up.

Such is what the world has come to.

When are you planning to operate on Chairman Shin?

I ordered what I need from the supplier

and everything will get here either late this week or early next week.

And have you thought about the potential members of your surgical team yet?

I don't know.

The only other cardiothoracic specialist we have has ended up like that, so...

Didn't you say that it wouldn't be too difficult

since you just need to swap out the batteries?

There could be an issue with the artificial heart itself.

Oh, really?

I've heard from quite a few sources

that Chairman Shin's artificial heart itself may be faulty.

Then, regarding a specific date for the procedure...

We'll make preparations for all sorts of scenarios we may encounter

so I'm thinking about doing it in 10 days or so.

10 days?

She probably understood what we were trying to get at, right?

More or less, I think.

Oh, Doctor Yoon Seo Jung.

Yes?

There's a package for you.

Oh, I see! It got here faster than I'd thought.

Um, what's in there?

Oh, wow!

Purse string sutures?

Have you ever done one?

That's usually the technique used at the end of an acute appendicitis surgery.

Is it really hard to do?

Doing the stitches themselves isn't too difficult

but serosas are quite thin, so you need to be careful.

You have to make the stitches only two or three millimeters deep.

The stitches have to be that shallow?

You do need some experience.

But you know, having experience is all part of one's skill.

What about blood vessels, then? Have you worked on those before?

Blood vessels?

No, no! Less pressure on your hands!

It's important to control the pressure of your stitches when working on organs.

If you apply too much pressure, you could perforate it

but if you don't apply any, the needle won't go in.

Even I know that much.

Do you want to figure this out yourself, then?

No, Doctor Kang Dong Joo. Please continue with your teachings.

All right. The most important thing when it comes to purse string sutures

is that the needle goes in as shallowly as you can manage it.

You have to pierce through the outside of the vessel

but turn the needle around just before hitting the intima.

What if the needle goes through the endothelium, then?

Well, general surgeons can fudge it and irrigate the abdominal cavity

but as for cardiothoracic surgeons...

Due to the immense pressure within a main artery

blood will be shooting up to the ceiling, like a geyser.

Whoosh!

Oh my.

What's the matter? Is your hand still acting up?

I usually have no problems with it.

But if I'm focusing on something or specifically concerned about something

it stiffens up a bit more.

Here, give me that.

All right, do this here.

Have a bit of a snap in your wrist motions, like this.

- Let me try. - Sure.

Snap?

- Like this? - No. More shallow over here.

Like this, then.

No, your hand...

Okay, make it as shallow as possible, and then turn your hand like this.

Yes.

Yes, like that.

- Okay. - Okay.

Wow!

- Like this. - Like this?

- Wow! - Wow!

Wow, you're good at this!

All right, one more time.

- You need more of a snap. - Okay.

There you go!

- Wow, you're so good! - Yeah, I am.

Hey, Section Chief Jang.

What's going on, here?

Teacher Kim is finally releasing the roster of the surgical staff

for Chairman Shin's surgery.

Wow!

As you all know, Chairman Shin will be admitted to our hospital tomorrow.

Our initial goal will be to change out the batteries in his artificial heart

but the situation could change at any moment based on his test results.

So keep that in mind.

I'm planning to hold a conference at 8 p.m. every night starting tomorrow

regarding the surgery.

So be aware of that, and prepare yourselves.

Then... who will be your main assistant during this surgery?

My main assistant for Chairman Shin's surgery will be...

Yoon Seo Jung. You do it.

That'll be all!

The day is here, everyone!

Chairman Shin Myung Ho, Chairman of the Geosan University Hospital Foundation

as well as our hospital's secret sponsor

will be finally be admitted to our Doldam Hospital today!

What a historic day this is!

Congratulations, Section Chief!

Make sure you get every nook and cranny, as if you were cleaning your own home!

- Yes, sir. - Put your soul into it and scrub!

- Yes, sir. - The chairman is coming. Yes.

What in the world is all this commotion about?

Why don't you just do things normally?

Well, that person is coming here.

Oh, how about we put a red carpet going from his room to the lobby?

I think that'd be overdoing it.

Oh, is that right?

Hey, be careful!

Yes, put the rest of the decorations on the top.

- All right, turn it on! - Yes, sir!

Wow! This is nice.

All right. Be careful now.

It's already Christmas, huh?

Therefore...

starting today, I'll be the doctor in charge of Chairman Shin

not as a board-certified ER specialist, but as a cardiothoracic specialist.

Wow, congratulations, Doctor Yoon!

I saw that you've been reading a lot about artificial heart surgery!

- Was it that noticeable? - Well, of course!

At any rate, I'm so happy for you. Congratulations!

Thank you!

You'll still drop by the ER occasionally though, right?

Occasionally? I'll be in here all the time.

If that's the case, then...

- Buy us dinner! - Buy us dinner!

- Come on! - Come on!

Yes, this is Kang Dong Joo.

Come to my office for a second.

Yes, sir.

We've made some preparations for your stay, Chairman.

But if you ever need anything else, just say the word.

I'm Jang Gi Tae, the Section Chief of Administration at Doldam Hospital.

This much is fine.

Thank you for your efforts.

Um, sure.

Who's that?

Are you the doctor in charge of me?

I'm the one you met last time.

I'm Song Hyun Chul, the Chief of the Surgical Department at Geosan.

And this here is Doctor Do In Bum. He's Director Do's son.

Hello, Chairman.

Is that young doctor the one in charge of me, then?

No, that's not it.

We just came up here to greet you, Chairman.

So, who's the doctor actually in charge of me, then?

What's going on, Section Chief Jang?

What is taking the chairman's assigned doctor so long to get here?

I'm here.

Hello, Chairman. My name is Yoon Seo Jung.

I'm the doctor who will be taking care of you.

It's... a woman?

Don't you have any male doctors to take care of me?

Chairman.

Where is Teacher Kim? Call him in here, now.

That punk knows that I'm here, and yet he's not even showing his face?

Get him here now!

Yes, sir.

Set aside some free time for this evening.

Is something the matter?

I'm going to have a video conference with some doctors in Cleveland tonight

regarding artificial heart surgery.

But there are quite a lot of materials I need prepared.

Yes, sir.

Teacher Kim! Teacher Kim!

You'll need to hurry and go see Chairman Shin now.

There is a problem.

Hey, what are you doing here?
