Hospital Playlist (슬기로운 의사생활)

-Did you check Oh Yeong-in's vitals again? -Yes, I did.

I'm going to go make my rounds.

Hong-do, come join the meeting.

Professor Yang wants you to sit in.

Okay.

Hong-do, when did you last wash your hair?

I don't know.

All right, let's go.

As long as it's not itchy. You're okay, right?

-Yes. -All right.

Patient Jang Seon-guk in Room 6008 had surgery 3 days ago,

but his hemoglobin level is too low.

-The vitals looked okay though. -Yes, the vitals are fine.

I see that everyone beat the Friday traffic

and managed to get here on time.

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Morning.

It'll be a while before Professor Lee gets here.

Shall we go have some coffee?

No, we only have 10 to 15 minutes.

That's enough time for a meal and dessert.

I can even brush my teeth.

I'll go get it.

-I'll do it. -I got it.

We'll go.

Have some coffee.

My gosh!

-Nice! Good morning. -Perfect timing. How did you know?

My gosh, thank you.

Thank you. No one wants this, right?

Yes.

Hi, Mom. What's up? It's so early.

Can I only call you when something's up?

-Are you at work? -I just got here.

Hey, my friend's daughter is joining Internal Medicine…

No, I think it's Cardiology. She's joining that department at Yulje.

She was going to work at the Jongno branch after becoming board-certified,

but she'll actually work at your branch for a few months.

Will you see her often at work?

No, I rarely work with cardiologists.

By the way, I read another article that mentioned your name.

Yoo Gyeong-jin thanked you again during her interview.

She said she's doing great

without any postoperative complications even though it was a difficult surgery.

Was her surgery that difficult?

Did it take long? How many hours?

No, it didn't take long.

I have to go do rounds, Mom. I'll call you later.

All right, okay.

Hello, Professor.

Hi. Are you that excited to see me?

I know I see you every day, but I get excited every time.

I think I love you.

Don't. Please don't love me, okay?

No.

I must follow my heart.

You little…

Is your first appointment really at 7:50 a.m.?

-Yes, it is. -Is this what you'll be wearing?

My coat!

Whatever, it's okay. I don't have time.

Director Ju hates it when doctors see their patients without their lab coats.

Clothes don't matter. Your heart does.

Gosh. Take it off.

-What? -Come on. I don't have time.

Let's have lunch together.

Sure thing!

Professor, I just got a call.

Professor Gu Hye-yeong from the NICU will be 20 minutes late.

She has to meet with Director Ju urgently.

Really?

Then I shouldn't have rushed. I didn't even have breakfast.

Then why don't we go have breakfast quickly?

Something quick and easy. Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

Bonjour.

Buon giorno.

Buenos días.

Good morning, everyone.

Are we all going together?

It's Se-hoon's patient.

Yun-bok is our intern and…

-I should be there too. -Right, let's go.

The liver resection was performed seven days ago.

The CT scan looked good, so we removed the JP drain.

And the patient is eating well.

Great. And the lab results?

Everything looks good. The liver index is at 20.

Good enough to be discharged.

Hello.

Next is Han-jun.

Is he here with his mom again?

Yes.

Hi, Han-jun. How have you been?

-Good. -He's been well.

But he didn't exercise, so he's gained quite a bit of weight.

Well, but everything looks pretty good.

Han-jun, does your stomach ever feel tight?

Do you ever feel dizzy?

-Well… -No, never.

No dizziness, but he occasionally gets headaches.

But it goes away as soon as he takes his medication.

I see.

The ultrasound results look good too.

Han-jun, you need to lose a bit of weight though.

You don't like to exercise? Do you play any sports?

He likes baseball.

Watching baseball, not playing it.

Ma'am.

Han-jun can answer these questions too, you know.

You're in sixth grade now, right?

Yes.

Ma'am, he's certainly old enough

to tell me how he's been doing and describe his condition.

Gosh, no. He may look like a big boy, but he's still a kid.

I'm not a kid.

What?

Professor Ahn, my stomach doesn't feel tight,

but I've felt dizzy once in a while.

It was nothing serious though.

I'd say it was like what my anemic friends get.

And as for sports, I'd rather watch than play.

I like baseball. Can I bike while watching baseball games?

We have an indoor cycling bike at home.

I'll do it while watching baseball.

Sounds good. As long as you get some exercise.

Here, pinky swear.

Yes.

All right. Then I'll see you again

in three months. How does that sound?

I hope you slim down a little before your next appointment.

-Okay. -Isn't that too late though?

I want to bring him in every month.

Seeing me often is not a good thing.

You're okay with seeing me again in three months, right?

Of course. Not having to come in often is a good sign

because it means that I'm recovering optimally.

Don't get me wrong. I like you very much,

but I'm happy that I don't have to come in so often.

All right. Let's make sure we don't have to see each other so often.

Okay.

My gosh. Hello, Professor Chae.

Yes, hello.

Hi, Du-na.

She can now obey commands, and the lab results look good too.

Great.

Du-na, do you know where you are now?

Can you tell where you are?

My head.

My head…

Yes, you're in the hospital now.

We'll begin the rehabilitation tomorrow. Let the others know.

Got it.

As I've explained before,

her Broca's area is damaged,

so she'll have trouble speaking fluently.

This condition is called Broca's aphasia.

She understands everything but can't really form words and sentences.

She will recover gradually, but it may take a while.

We'll begin her rehabilitation therapy tomorrow along with speech therapy.

We've hit another hurdle just as we were beginning to rejoice

in her miraculous recovery.

Rehabilitation is like a long battle.

It'll be hard for Du-na,

and it won't be easy for you to see her go through it.

But she must go through it to return to her normal daily life.

Doctor, I'm just so grateful

that my daughter is alive.

I'll do as you say.

It's okay even if it takes time for her to fully recover.

I'm so thankful, and I think this is a blessing.

I'll make sure she sticks through it, so put your worries to rest.

Okay, we'll come up with the schedule and go from there.

We'll talk soon.

Her fever is not coming down, and her blood pressure is low.

To perform the transplant, we need her BP and temperature

to be within the normal range.

We've given her antibiotics

as well as other medications to raise her blood pressure,

so we'll see improvements soon.

I'm not sure exactly how long it'll take.

I'm expecting four to five days.

We'll monitor her carefully over the weekend

and do our best to perform the surgery next week.

Okay, Professor Lee.

Thank you.

Then I guess I can check in

when the surgery date is confirmed, right?

Yes, donors usually check in the day before the surgery.

You can check in the day before, once everything is confirmed.

The doctor here will go over the details with you again.

Doctor. I heard this procedure gets more complicated

if the patient has undergone surgery in the past

because of a condition called "adhesion."

Will my daughter's surgery be a difficult one?

Will it be on the complicated side?

Professor Lee.

Have you done it many times?
