Surgeons (外科风云)

During the time you've been in Thoracic, you've actually been looking after me.

It's just that I've acquired some shortcomings at Renhe

and have been rather demanding of you and other colleagues.

I keep thinking I have outstanding surgical skill

so I've been narcissistic and arrogant.

I've been especially careless with my words--

Dr. Lu, are you doing a self-inspection?

Dr. Zhuang, I actually want to apologize to you.

Apologize for what?

You have been helping me a lot. I should be thanking you.

I shouldn't be...

I shouldn't be disrespectful.

Disrespectful?

Yes, disrespectful.

In your eyes, I am still one who throws underhanded tricks at

Director Fu who has exquisite skill and perfect character.

How am I worthy of your respect?

- Are you denying targeting Director Fu? - I'm not.

If I've guessed correctly

you are apologizing because you have something to ask of me

so you would even speak of a respect that is untrue to your convictions.

Is it your ex-boyfriend's teacher's surgery?

Is there something you need my cooperation with?

You think if you do not give in and apologize

I won't allow you to return to Thoracic to operate in this surgery.

Is that correct?

You think even though I clearly know you are

one of the most experienced surgeons in Renhe in regard to this type of surgery

I still would not use you, right?

Then can you allow me to operate in this surgery?

If a doctor would

place his upward mobility and power struggle above a patient's life

then he is not worthy of being a doctor.

Since you consider me so unbearable, why do you speak of respect?

Where have your principles and bottom line gone?

Don't tell me that for your ex-boyfriend's teacher's surgery--

You guys haven't stopped fighting since the first day you two met.

Fighting at the hospital, fighting at home.

It's just a surgery. It's the same, whoever does it.

On and on about the same principles. Nothing new.

You two sure are affectionate to still not be done fighting.

If you two get married and have kids, they'll be annoyed to death by you two.

I'm living here because I'm poor.

When I have money, I'm definitely taking off.

Please be quiet. Let me have a peaceful sleep.

In my dream, I heard bottom line, principles, and worthy of being a doctor.

I thought I was back at school.

Lu Chen Xi, I forgot to tell you.

We stumbled upon you and Xue Luan having dinner today.

He's quarreling with you because he's jealous. It's that simple.

Lower your voices!

Don't keep mentioning my ex-boyfriend.

This has nothing to do with Xue Luan.

I only mentioned Ms. Zhu's surgery because

I believe an esophageal perforation is likely during the surgery

and I am the best choice for lead surgeon.

I will make a request to Chief Yang

to invite you back to Thoracic to be lead surgeon in Zhu Hong Ying's surgery.

If the circumstances require my cooperation

I will clear my schedule.

Thank you.

And you?

Is this patient, this surgery, the only one you want to work on?

Other than this one...

I wish to join Lin Sen's surgery.

And then?

And then I will resign and leave Renhe.

With Yang Fan present, I cannot return to Thoracic.

I can work at other hospitals.

Do you think by leaving Renhe, you can avoid politics

and focus on being a surgeon?

Do you think by leaving Renhe, you can continue speaking without regard

and insolently continue being you?

I want to start afresh.

The one who has shielded and spoiled you can no longer carry on this task

so you want to go elsewhere.

So you think somewhere else, there will be a leader with perfect integrity

who will uphold justice for you?

I never had such hopes.

I admit it.

I can't continue working at Renhe. Staying isn't an option.

But I'd like to clarify something, Dr. Zhuang.

What?

You've just joined Renhe, so I don't understand why

you already hold Director Fu in such contempt and single him out.

In these 11 years, he has only requested that I be the ideal doctor.

On this, he has done no wrong.

I also don't believe he would steal another person's surgical achievements.

I don't want to discuss this with you again.

- But. - But what?

But I also don't believe you are the sort of evil person

who would frame a superior for power or profit.

I thank you then.

So can you tell me what the truth is exactly?

You've already asked me this question in my office yesterday.

You did not answer me.

You only yelled at me

and said I'm prejudiced, don't understand logic

and that I'm stupid.

Sorry.

We've both calmed down now.

Can we temporarily stop suspecting

mocking, and hurling insults at each other?

Can we calmly converse like two adults?

Zhuang Shu, I am slow on the uptake.

Can you tell me in a way I can understand

what exactly happened between you and Director Fu?

As long as you are willing to tell me

I will be willing to believe you.

With regards to this...

I have nothing to say.

Nor should I be the one to tell.

I understand.

All right then.

Thank you for letting me do Zhu Hong Ying's and Lin Sen's surgeries.

Goodnight.

Good morning. Is there anymore breakfast?

Two more Chinese crullers.

Just two more crullers?

Don't eat! Don't eat that!

Xiao Liang, you're done eating. Hurry and get to work.

- All right. - Here, here.

Ding Long Xuan's soup dumplings.

You bought them for me?

Yes, I bought them just for you.

Here.

Spit it out. What do you need to ask of me?

There's no such thing as free lunch.

Say it.

Now that's being too snobby.

You said you like the breakfast from this place

so I specifically went there to bring you some.

Are you going after me?

I just like your argumentative spirit.

You can say so.

You've seen last night what my family's situation is.

I don't mind.

I've thought it through.

I'm willing to take care of our mother with you.

Good.

You agree?

Tastes good.

Yes or no? Don't leave me hanging.

Yes or no?

Take care of my mother with me?

Do you have the time or the money?

What do you mean?

You said it yourself.

Some of your ex-girlfriends found you too busy, others found you too poor

and some found you too busy and too poor.

If you had the time, I could perhaps count on you to take care of my mother.

If you had money, we could hire a full-time caregiver.

So tell me. Which one are you?

We could... consider this at length.

Let me put it this way.

Chen Shao Cong, I don't dislike you.

But you are indeed...

not very useful.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean not very useful?

Look, let me finish.

You should find someone with fitting qualifications

who can live the rest of their lives depending on their parents.

I not only don't have anyone to depend on

but also have a heavy burden to carry.

I need to find someone who has money or the free time.

Then I could live life more effortlessly.

I understand everything you're saying.

Two people carrying that burden is better than doing it alone.

I'm an attending, no less. My income is acceptable.

You said it yourself.

Women don't care about how much money a man has.

They care about whether he is willing to put in an effort for her.

You said that. I'm willing.

Yes, I said those words.

I'll tell you another thing.

Everybody has their own problems.

My problem is relatively bigger.

I don't want to fall in love

and then have the other person find my burden too heavy.

Wouldn't that be being an inconvenience to others?

My mom and I are getting along fine by ourselves.

Anyhow, we're not right for each other.

All right.

Thanks for breakfast.

Will it still be on your way tomorrow?

Bed 21 had surgery at 2 p.m. yesterday.

Complaints of chest tightness and chest pains at 11 p.m.

Checks on blood pressure and bedside ECG didn't show any abnormalities.

General Surgery came for a consult.

Their definitive diagnosis is an acute peptic ulcer.

Symptoms were relieved after the patient was given antacids.

Dr. Zhuang, my report is complete.

I'd like to raise a personnel arrangement suggestion.

Chief Yang, please consider allowing me to temporarily replace

associate chief surgeon Liu Chang He's third-line on-call duty

in future duty rosters.

My qualification for and ability to be associate chief surgeon

was evaluated by an expert evaluation committee.

How can you just suspend my duties?
