Doctor on the Edge (닥터 섬보이)

DOCTOR ON THE EDGE

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION SOME SCENES WERE GENERATED USING AI

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY

Woo-hoo!

Let's go!

My, this is nice.

We beseech thee, mighty sea-spirit!

"We offer this ritual today

with all our devotion,

"praying for safety and a bountiful catch!"

"We ask that you tame the crashing waves and high winds,

and fill our nets to the brim with many schools of fish!"

Is this your first time seeing a sea ritual?

Oh, yes.

I haven't been to one since I was little either.

It's just the way I remember it.

"May you also bestow your grace upon us so that those who go out to sea

may all return to land safely!"

Please grant our wishes.

Please accept our humble offering!

- Was that a good thing? - It's for good luck.

What's he doing now?

Every time they hold a sea ritual, they store white rice in that pot.

It's a fortune-telling practice for the coming year.

They say that if the rice remains white without rotting,

that year will bring a bountiful catch and safety for everyone.

Mmm.

So… how does it look? Huh?

Oh, come on. How is it?

A bountiful year it is!

All right!

- That's great. - Yes, that's great.

Bless you all!

- Bless you! - Give me a lot.

Give me a lot.

A lot.

Here's to a bountiful year of fish.

Jangsu, we're in for a year of plenty!

Gosh!

Here, bless you all.

Bless you!

- Oh, no! - Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Wait. Please don't touch it.

- Oh, my! - Let me see.

The rice, the pot… How could this happen?

Goodness!

EPISODE 10 IT'S NOT OKAY.

Goodness…

I ruined the sea ritual as the village chief.

What am I to do now?

It looked like just a pot to me.

That was no mere pot.

A year's worth of good fortune for Pyeondongdo rested on that sacred pot.

I see…

Right. Weren't you moving back into your house today, Ms. Hari?

Yes, today's the day.

My, I'm sure it couldn't have been easy, what with the construction dragging on.

And you had your work cut out for you,

cleaning up the house every night.

We're done. Thank you for your patience.

- Thank you. - Have a safe trip back.

- Okay. - Goodbye.

Dr. Do.

Should we throw a housewarming party today?

Mmm.

Whoa.

It's just the way I remember it. How did you find the time to do this?

Hmm.

I brought you a housewarming gift.

Hmm? What is it?

It's fried chicken!

I pulled some strings with Mr. Park since we're having a party.

- Here. - Thank you.

I was actually going to eat with my hands.

It's good.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

When I retire, I'm going to set up my own fried chicken place,

so I can eat it every day.

Mmm.

But are you sure they fixed these properly to last?

Why? Everything seems okay.

I'm just worried they might have done a hack job.

I'm just a little bummed out that you're no longer at the quarters.

What's there to be bummed out about? This is even better.

What?

Well, the other doctors are at the quarters, so…

What did you want to do if we were alone?

It's not like I wanted to do anything.

It was just inconvenient having to text with a wall between us. That's all.

What do you want to do now that there's no wall?

Stop teasing me.

If you want to do something, feel free to do it.

There's no wall between us here and we're all alone.

- Oh, come on! - That's not what I mean.

You're getting a call.

Oh, it-it's probably a spam call.

- I've been getting a lot. - Mmm.

I think you should get that.

Right.

- Hello? - Goodness, Dr. Do!

What took you so long to answer?

You have to hurry over to the center right now!

Uh, okay.

PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER

Goodness, it hurts so much.

What's the matter?

Here. Over here

Let me take a look.

Goodness!

How about here?

So this spot is fine.

What about here?

No issues here either.

Oh! Oh, man!

Does it hurt when I press down or when I let go?

I don't know.

- I'll try pressing again. - Okay.

Oh, goodness! Goodness!

How long has it hurt?

For the past few days, I think.

The pain is killing me, so please make it go away.

Pain upon removal of pressure from the lower right abdomen,

a typical symptom of appendicitis.

My goodness, please help me.

You need to go to a big hospital right now.

I'm not sure, but I suspect you have appendicitis.

- What is that? - Your appendix may have burst.

- I'll hail us a medical boat. - Okay.

I'll give you a painkiller for now.

You can relax your hand.

The seas are too rough for a medical boat,

but a chopper is available, so I requested it.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Hang in there, sir. We're almost there.

They got here earlier than expected.

What a relief.

We're almost there.

Hang in there just a little longer.

An emergency dispatch helicopter sent to transfer a patient

out of Pyeondongdo, Yeopoong-gun, has crashed,

resulting in the death of the pilot, Mr. Kim Hongcheol, who was 34 years old.

Fire authorities launched an investigation and are going over the CCTV footage

to find out the cause of the incident.

Fire authorities believe the fatal crash may have occurred

while the pilot attempted a risky landing to save an emergency patient.

Meanwhile, the patient suspected of having appendicitis

turned out to have nothing more than an upset stomach,

adding to the tragedy.

It is a horrific incident caused by a public health doctor's misdiagnosis.

In the wake of this tragedy, concerns regarding the misdiagnoses

of incompetent public health doctors are growing,

pushing Governor Ko of Yeopoong-gun, to bow his head

and apologize on behalf of the Pyeondong Health Center.

First of all,

I'd like to express my sincerest condolences to Mr. Kim Hongcheol,

who lost his life to an unfortunate accident,

and to the family of the deceased.

The thing is,

our investigation into the PH docs has revealed quite a lot of issues.

Why are they blaming the PH docs for a helicopter crash?

The way they tried to transfer

a patient without a proper diagnosis, right?

They were in such a hurry to move him, you know?

Such decisions led to this tragic accident.

Maybe he should provide us with better equipment then!

People always need someone to blame when a major accident happens.

Is Dr. Do doing okay? I noticed he even took a leave of absence.

I'm sorry.

He hasn't come out of his room since the accident.

I'm so sorry.

Just turn it off.

Of course he's struggling. The whole world just turned on him.

But he's not going to get through this if he doesn't eat.

Dr. Do, it's me.

You should at least eat.

Dr. Do, it was just an accident.

It wasn't your fault.

But still…

If the pain gets unbearable, come and lean on me.

I promised I'd stay by your side, remember?

Okay?

Oh, my. Oh, my. You have to try this right now.

"Ah, ah." Say "ah."

- I'm a little queasy. - Why are you feeling queasy?

I think it's PMS. I feel so bloated every time.

If it's giving you a hard time, take some meds.

It won't get better if you try to endure it.

Okay.

Why is everyone starving themselves, huh?

Eating some food makes everything better.

Dealing with sadness on an empty stomach makes things worse.

I made this with local ingredients…

YOUR PERIOD IS 13 DAYS OVERDUE

- Thirteen days overdue… - Why won't you have any?

An empty stomach leads to sadness and illness.

Can't believe you're not having this.

- Granny, I'm here. - Oh, my.

Uh, what are you doing here at this time? Huh?

Oh, we ran out of toilet paper at the center.
