DOCTOR CHA

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

We have ROSC. Check his vitals, please.

Dr. Cha!

Dr. Cha!

Open your eyes!

Dr. Cha!

What's going on?

Dr. Cha!

What happened to her?

She was electrocuted after touching the patient's body during CPR.

Jeez, she's such a klutz.

What?

You're awake.

Are you okay?

Why am I here?

Do you not remember?

You fainted after you were electrocuted during CPR.

Me?

I did?

You made a mistake that not even med students make.

You created a moment that'll go down in our hospital's history.

Anyway, I think you've laid down enough, so why don't you get up now?

Okay. I'm sorry.

Why on earth did you do that?

I don't know.

I must've been distracted.

Jeez, this is embarrassing.

That's not the issue.

Do you know how shocked I was? I mean, earlier…

Father was in the ER at the time,

and he screamed at everyone and carried you all the way here.

I've never seen him so flustered like that.

Everyone, out of the way!

No!

No!

Your dad did?

Check up on your mom's condition often and look out for her.

It might be hard, but I trust that you'll understand my position.

Keep up the good work.

I'm the one who's doing all the work.

Why did I…

What happened to her?

She was electrocuted after touching the patient's body during CPR.

Jeez, she's such a klutz.

You have a sense of humanity that I lack.

That's if I were to put it nicely. To be blunt, you're just nosy.

Anyway,

I let you date me because of that quality of yours.

But I've been feeling off recently.

Don't you think you're a bit too friendly with that lady?

- Me? - Yes.

I'm having trouble putting a name to this feeling.

Jealousy?

That's a gross way to put it.

Camaraderie…

is a rather contemptible way to describe it.

The word jealousy grosses me out as well.

It's nothing. It's just…

Let's just go with camaraderie.

That word doesn't cut it.

Let's just call it pity.

Whatever. Think what you want.

More importantly,

you "let me date you"?

"Let me"?

I know I liked you first, but isn't this some kind of power trip?

You didn't know?

There are power dynamics in romantic relationships.

You like me more, so I have power over you.

Well…

Ma'am.

You're here.

I'm not too knowledgeable about art schools,

so I'm not sure exactly how to help you.

Does your mother have any strategies to support you?

My mom?

When you were preparing for med school,

she was knowledgeable enough to be a college counselor.

She doesn't know much about preparing for art school admissions.

And right now,

she's busy pursuing her own career.

Excuse me, Professor.

You have something stuck in your hair.

Here.

Thank you.

Hey, daughter.

Is something the matter?

Was I hallucinating?

"Daughter"?

She has a daughter?

The surgical site is healing well.

I think you'll be able to be discharged this week.

- Goodness. Thank you, Doctor. - It's nothing.

- Then I'll see you on my rounds tomorrow. - Please wait one moment.

Here.

I made this from the apples we raise ourselves.

Please have some together.

- Thank you. - Yes.

Isn't that crazy?

Here, a present.

This apple juice purely consists of apples raised with love and care.

This is precious stuff, so be sure to savor every drop.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

But what was so funny?

Professor, you remember that older resident right?

The one who asked you for a ride after the dinner party.

- Dr. Cha Jeong-suk? - Yes.

Apparently, she got electrocuted today after touching her patient during CPR.

Isn't that wild?

What's her condition? Is she okay?

She didn't get hurt?

Yes, they said she went right back to work.

Besides, first-year residents have to act like they're fine

even if they actually aren't.

That's a relief.

But is that something to laugh about?

DR. CHA, I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED…

You're going to get the surgery?

Yes.

- You're not going to go to the US? - I don't want to go.

I'm going to get the surgery here.

I'm counting on you.

Even though I'm not in a position where I can do much for your surgery,

I must say you really made the right decision, Chairman Oh.

We'll do our best.

Are you okay?

You fainted while trying to save me.

Who told you that?

I saw it.

But you were in cardiac arrest then.

Well, I experienced something rather odd

that I never thought I'd come across in my life.

He went on and on about wanting to be discharged.

He's a nuisance to the very end.

Who said he wasn't?

I guess he won't be able to go to the US like he wanted.

He just suddenly collapsed.

Do you think I forgot Eun-bi's birthday?

Then what do you expect me to do?

You want me to leave that old geezer?

He's going to kill me.

Can you just let it…

It's just this once. It's not as if this happens all the time!

Come on!

"Old geezer"?

The weather just had to be great today.

I should be golfing on a day like this!

Are you not worried about your father?

That condescending old man is called "the phoenix" for a reason.

He'll probably come back like a phoenix this time too.

He cares about his money too much to just leave like this.

Aren't you secretly hoping that he passes away?

Hey, what do you take me for?

What would the need for that be?

In the end, everything will be mine anyway.

You worthless bastard!

You little bastard.

Where is he?

Charge it to 200J.

Charge it to 200J.

One, two, administering shock.

I don't know if I should say that I experienced the afterlife,

or that I had an out-of-body experience.

Anyway,

experiencing death made me realize

that I needed to live.

No matter how crappy life might be, living is always better than dying.

If I die, it's only a loss for me.

Dr. Cha.

Set a date for my surgery.

Yes, Chairman Oh.

I understand, as someone who was on the brink of death as well.

You should survive until the very end and do everything you want.

- So you won't have any regrets. - Shall I?

- My goodness. Are you alright? - I'm fine.

Jeez, you startled me. Chairman Oh, you have to be careful.

I'm fine.

I have two problematic patients, you know?

Because they keep telling me that they don't want to get treated.

But among the two, one of them told me today that he will get his surgery.

You can't imagine how hard he cried when he heard about his condition.

I felt so terrible.

It's such a relief now.

When I first learned of my condition,

I cried too.

Because I was so thankful.

It was like a gift to me…

since I didn't have the courage to kill myself.

I had the guts to take someone else's life,

but I didn't have the nerve to take my own.

You said you don't have the nerve,

but how were you able to do that to someone else?

- Doctor. - Yes?

Could you please prescribe me some cold medicine?

Are you sick?

I'm aching all over.

A family member of the corrections officer for the next shift passed away.
