OPERATION IN PROGRESS

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Since you've waited this long, let's wait a bit more.

A single opportunity may come.

And it will come soon.

In-ho, don't do it!

Don't sign it!

No! You absolutely can't!

No, I won't let you!

Mother.

No matter how much I think about this, I can't let you have this surgery.

You should know better than I do since you're a doctor.

There's no guarantee you'll be fine after having that surgery.

Think of the kids.

One of you two needs to stay healthy for them.

You can't. You'd have to kill me first.

Don't do it. Did you sign anything else? I can't bear…

In-ho, please don't go through with the surgery.

This is the first and last favor I'll ask of you.

You can do it over my dead body.

I won't allow this!

I won't.

What?

He was about to sign the consent form, but his mother showed up

and ripped the form, screaming he can't do the surgery.

It was a complete mess.

So he's really not going to do it?

He says that he needs more time,

but that just means he can't.

I won't let you do this.

A TA patient was just declared brain-dead in the intensive care unit.

Should I check the compatibility?

It might be possible with Cha Jeong-suk's MELD score.

- Honey. - Yes?

Yes, tell me. What is it?

What?

What did you say?

You…

little…

bastard.

Excuse me, the patient here has woken up!

"An opportunity will come," my foot.

EPISODE 2

SEOMYEONG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

I said you didn't have to come.

Still, you're getting discharged today.

I guess you wanted to do at least one good thing.

Jeong-suk.

Do you remember what you said to me in the recovery room after your surgery?

What did I say?

No, it must've been psychosis.

Some patients say absurd things after surgery.

That's strange.

I'm not normally the type to say absurd things.

Hey, welcome home.

Mother.

Welcome back after regaining your health.

Mother called a place and had them disinfect the entire house.

Your immune system is weak after a transplant,

so you're prone to infections.

Thank you, Mother.

You did well.

Your coffee.

- Mother, come sit down and eat. - Okay.

Jeong-suk, do you want to swing by Jay Department Store today?

The department store?

Yes. A handbag that I bought a while ago just came in.

I waited six months, so I was going to go pick it up myself,

but I have plans with a friend who's back from the US after three years.

Don't give me that look. My days are numbered now.

I bought one for the first time

by saving up the tiny amounts I get from my pension.

You also bought a mink coat last winter.

I only had out-of-season winter clothes,

so I had no choice but to buy one.

Three months ago, you bought a designer wallet,

and last month you got an 800,000-won scarf…

Hey.

Why do you have such a good memory?

So are you saying that you're going to go for me or not?

I'll go get it for you.

While I'm there, I'll do some window shopping.

Sounds good. Do all the window shopping you want.

Right, about the bag.

Don't just bring it home like you did last time.

You know you have to check meticulously for any flaws.

Yes.

Let's eat.

- Okay. - Hurry up and sit.

Jung-min, you should eat slowly or you'll get indigestion.

I don't even want to eat breakfast.

- I said I just wanted to sleep more. - You still have to eat.

Interns don't have time for breakfast.

Mom, I said I want a croissant, not toast.

I toasted the bread. Have it with cheese.

And drink your milk.

What's with the coffee?

I bought new beans.

Just buy the ones we used to drink.

Why can't you understand I hate the acidic taste?

Why do you speak so curtly to your wife?

In-ho.

Jeong-suk, is my juice not ready yet?

No, I'll have it ready for you soon.

Hey, Jeong-suk, goodness. I told you not to scrimp

when it comes to buying the ingredients for my juice.

Do you think juice made from wilted ingredients will be healthy?

That's not detox juice,

but toxic juice.

Mom, I have to go.

- Where's my mask? - Mask?

Eat some more, okay?

That was hilarious.

It went like this…

The realization of my loneliness came out of the blue.

My beautiful family that was so perfect and elegant.

What was I…

to them?

Wrap up the bottle of wine on the first row of the wine cellar,

all the way on the right.

It's a gift to the hospital director.

Okay.

Hey, did you apply for your disability rating yet?

Disability rating?

If you have a liver transplant, you get a Grade Five.

Really?

But what's the point? There aren't many benefits.

What are you talking about? With parking so difficult these days,

it's great to park in a disabled parking space.

The spot is great too.

You'll be able to apply online.

And about the new air purifier.

Is it the one with the lowest price on the market?

These days, the prices can vary greatly

even for the same brand and product.

You can lose so much money by buying from the wrong retailer.

Where did she go?

She went to look up the prices, jeez.

But for SUDD, if fecal calprotectin is used as a biomarker,

then the reliability in the diagnostic rate increases.

For unspecific symptoms like bloating,

pain, and altered bowel habits

often associated with IBS,

it's hard to confirm if image tests like colonoscopy aren't conducted.

But for SUDD,

because the fecal calprotectin comes out higher than normal…

Did you lose my credit card?

I keep getting texts that it's being used at Jay Department Store.

During a colonoscopy, the location of diverticula,

the number of diverticula per colonic segment…

I'm the one using it.

I've brought out the bag that Ms. Kwak Ae-sim ordered.

We checked in the morning that there was nothing wrong with it.

But we prepared it so that you can check for yourself as well.

It's okay. Just give it to me.

But still, you should still check it once…

No, it's fine. Just package it for me.

Yes, ma'am.

- Excuse me? - Yes, ma'am.

Is there another one of those bags here?

Hello.

How are you feeling?

It still hurts.

It hurts?

Cough as much as you can.

You have to keep walking around

so you can release gas quickly.

- Make sure you walk, okay? - Okay.

- How are you feeling? - I've gotten a lot better.

Is that so?

Has she lost her mind?

6,350,000 WON JAY DEPARTMENT STORE

JAY DEPARTMENT STORE

This is really something.

You guys can go ahead.

Where are you?

Where do you think? Cheongdam-dong.

What's your deal?

- You must have been quite shocked. - Did you buy all those things?

Right, I didn't find the lowest price on the market,

so we probably lost some money.

Why are you suddenly acting weird?

Maybe it's because I escaped death.

I wanted to start doing things I hadn't done before.

Is that why you spent--

Are you crazy? You could buy a car with all that money.

I spent the last 20 years not doing stuff like this.

I always used the handbags, coats, and other things

after your mother got tired of them.

But I've never considered buying them myself.

I couldn't even make a credit card since I had no job

and no assets under my name.

I had to go around with a credit card that was under your name,

and I felt like I was being watched every time I used it.

That's why I could never spend money on myself,
