D-Day (디 데이)

DISASTER DESPAIR DETERMINATION

LIFE MUST CONTINUE

Visibility was poor due to the heavy fog

and the road was slippery due to the recent snowfall.

This is headquarters.

At the access road to Yonggwang District,

there's a 20-car collision on the Yeongdong Bridge.

At the access road to Yonggwang District,

there's a 20-car collision on the Yeongdong Bridge.

-Due to the thick fog... -Prepare the defibrillator. Is it charged?

Yonggwang Fire Department

-hurry to the scene. -Please charge 200 joules.

Okay, pad.

Please step back.

Here goes.

Shoot!

Surgery took place due to punctured lungs caused by broken ribs during CPR.

The plaintiff is not able to climb stairs due to shortness of breath.

His quality of life degraded. Shouldn't he be compensated for that?

Objection.

The plaintiff's attorney is exaggerating and speculating

and he's badgering the defendant.

Exaggeration and speculation?

It's true that the plaintiff can't climb stairs.

-He couldn't climb stairs prior to-- -Is that what's written there?

Can't you read between the lines? Did you sleep during class?

-What did you say? -What is it, Defendant?

-May I speak? -Go ahead.

The plaintiff was

in cardiac arrest when he arrived in the emergency room.

During CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation,

the ultimate goal is to get the heart to beat again.

Whether it causes sternal fractures or broken ribs,

leading to a punctured lung or heart, it must be done!

Why?

It's all over if he dies.

That's right. I'm the bomb disposal squad.

MIRAE HOSPITAL

SUCCESSFULLY TREATED 3,000 CASES OF STOMACH CANCER VIA ROBOTIC SURGERY

We took a biopsy test around this area and you are diagnosed with stomach cancer.

I believe it's still in the early stage.

In order to determine the extent of required surgery,

you need to have a CT scan, endoscopy, and ultrasound.

Since the cancer might have metastasized,

you'll need to have a PET-CT and bone scan as well.

A PET-CT?

Is that really required?

I looked it up online

and it said that it wasn't necessary.

Do you trust the Internet more than me?

No, it's not that--

If I operate thinking it's early-stage cancer,

only to discover it's larger than expected

and the surgery is impossible, what then?

I'm sure you don't want me

to gamble with your life.

Since you're refusing my recommendations, I'll end our session.

Our conversation...

has been recorded here.

Doctor, wait...

-Ji-na Park! -Hey.

-What is it? -A traffic accident.

Blood pressure is 100/70. Pulse is 85.

There's trauma to the head and abdomen.

The accident occurred because a driver ran a red light.

Don't worry. You're at the hospital now.

You know we don't accept TA patients. Go to another hospital.

I know that. But the patient needs urgent care.

-They won't accept him elsewhere. -We don't have room.

-Why didn't you call first? -Take the patient.

Three ER patients are being moved.

This goes against procedure--

-This patient needs an x-ray. -We need a portable x-ray over here!

-What about your trial? -It was no big deal.

I was found not guilty.

Justice is gone. It's really gone.

Please come take a look.

-Do you know where you are? -Yes, the hospital.

Her vitals look good. No trauma besides superficial injuries.

Tell us if you feel any pain.

-Go ahead. -All right.

Okay. Run a brain and abdominal CT. Run an MRI on the shoulder.

-What are you doing, Dr. Yoo? -All right.

-Forget it. -Dr. Kang,

aren't CT and MRI too much?

Nurse Park!

Just do an x-ray on that patient and bring him back quickly!

All right.

-Is it a TA? -Yes.

Dr. Kang accepted a TA?

Yes. I tried to stop her,

but she ordered an urgent brain and abdominal CT

along with a shoulder MRI.

-Oh, really? -Yes.

He's the driver of the TA earlier.

He received a strong blow to his chest and abdomen.

It took time to get him out of the car since he was stuck.

-Do you know where you are? -My stomach hurts.

-Hurry up with the ultrasound! -I'm coming.

Run a CT on the brain, chest, and abdomen.

The CT rooms are full. I went up there just now.

Tell Dr. Ahn it's urgent. Get this patient in.

All right.

Is this CT room?

This is the ER. A patient needs a CT immediately.

Go to the CT room, Dr. Lee.

It's full.

Hae-sung, go to the CT room.

Did you hear me?

Look at this. The abdominal cavity is filled with blood.

It's an abdominal aortic hemorrhage. Intern, get me an OR immediately.

-All right. -Call anesthesiology

and get all the type O blood available.

-Call thoracic and vascular surgery. -Hemorrhage patient here.

What are you doing, Nurse Park? Follow me.

Take the patient's vitals and run a CT first.

There's no time. He might go into cardiac arrest during the CT.

Your malpractice trial just ended. Do you enjoy being sued?

How will you prove it was an emergency?

Transfer the patient.

I just spoke with the chief of thoracic surgery.

Since they're all in surgery, they are unable to provide support.

Performing a precise surgery after an accurate diagnosis.

That's the policy that leads Mirae Hospital to the best record.

Intern, find a hospital that can take the patient.

-Yes, sir. Hi, this is Mirae Hospital. -This patient might die

-on the way there. -You shouldn't have accepted him then!

Our hospital specializes in cancer, spine and joints.

We don't accept TA patients

because our rooms are filled with regular surgery patients.

We can't operate on this patient.

Finding another hospital is best for him.

Director, the patient is in danger!

Aortic hemorrhages have a mortality rate of 90 percent.

He has ten percent chance of survival.

It just dropped to nine percent since you're wasting time.

Such optimism can cause a patient's death as well.

Send the patient to an expert.

Why don't you be honest?

You don't want this bomb on your hands.

You're fine as long as it doesn't explode in our hospital.

MIRAE HOSPITAL

Do something. He's lost over 1,500cc of blood.

Where's the rupture?

Suction.

Irrigation.

Oh, he's going into arrest!

Release the retractor. Prepare for CPR.

Why don't you give up?

There's too much blood loss and the veins are a mess.

It's too hard to locate the tear.

It's over.

I haven't called time of death yet.

If you don't want to, I will.

The current time is 2:43 p.m.

-Time of death-- -Stop it!

Why don't you think of other people for once?

We're always getting dragged to court because of you.

Now, it's a hopeless surgery. This is ridiculous!

I can't take this anymore, okay?

This patient has entrusted us with his life.

Don't turn your back.

Give me a break.

You've watched too many cartoons, Doctor.

He came back, Doctor. The heart is beating again!

What are you doing?

Suction.

Okay, get me a balloon to stanch blood.

This is otolaryngology. We don't have a balloon ready.

-I'll get it. -Where're you going?

He went into arrest. The patient might die.

A Foley catheter. Do you have a urinary catheter?

A urinary catheter?

On the aorta?

-Good work. -Doctor, you're amazing.

The robotic hand moves so freely.

Practice hard.

I hope I can become like you.

I respect you, Doctor.

Hey, hold it tighter.

Hold it!

Water, ballooning.

His blood pressure and pulse are improving.

Don't call time of death

even if the monitor shows a flat line.

Time of death is only called

when a doctor gives up.

As long as you don't give up,

the patient is still alive.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to assist?

I will.

Suture.

If he doesn't want to board my ship,

he needs to get off.

Stick.

Nine percent...

He'll try for a miracle?
