Heart Surgeons (흉부외과:심장을 훔친 의사들)

Hello.

I'm Yoon Hyun Il, the chairman of Taesan Hospital.

This afternoon,

at this hospital,

Minseng party's presidential candidate, Han Min Shik's

heart transplant operation will be held.

Two months ago, right before the election,

candidate Han Min Shik

received a left ventricular assist device transplant,

also known as an LVAD transplant at this hospital.

But at his request, we didn't publicize it.

The details of today's operation and

the progress of his recovery

will be explained by Dr. Choi Seok Han, who will be performing the operation.

I'm Choi Seok Han of the cardiothoracic surgery department at Taesan Hospital.

Today's operation entails

exchanging the candidate's heart, which has a ventricular assist device,

with a donor's heart.

The surgery is expected

to last four to six hours.

Following the surgery, if he has a smooth recovery,

he'll leave the hospital after a month

and resume campaigning after three months.

Therefore, he'll easily be able to finish the campaign,

and if he gets elected,

it'll be an unprecedented case worldwide

for a president who received a heart transplant

to fulfill his duty and finish his term.

Candidate Han Min Shik, who won in a landslide at the parliamentary election,

publicized his heart transplant

and showed that he's willing to confront the situation.

But since the rumor about his poor health turned out to be true,

it seems like it'll be a liability during the presidential election.

It appears that it will be hard to rule out the possibility of a re-election.

Those people always speak negatively about everything.

Don't worry about it too much, sir.

Sir, how are you feeling?

I'm okay.

You must be worried.

If I'm worried about this sort of matter,

do you think the people would let me rule the nation?

Yes.

On behalf of the hospital, I'll make sure that you won't be distracted from your important job.

I'll do my best.

If the operation goes smoothly,

I'll do my best as well.

It'll be smooth sailing to the Blue House.

It's a complicated surgery. Please take good care of him.

Complicated my a**. All you need to do is connect a few blood vessels.

Sir,

we'll start preparing for the operation soon.

Over here.

Please put it over there.

We're about to start soon.

I think we need to supply Taesan first.

Apparently, we need to extract the heart first because of Taesan.

Yes.

Well...

Taesan Hospital did the artificial heart transplant for Candidate Han Min Shik.

How did I not hear about that?

Tae Soo, you knew about it, didn't you?

You must've been the resident if it was Dr. Choi's operation.

Seriously...

I can't trust anyone.

This is why you can't trust someone from a different university.

Why aren't they starting yet?

Dong Joon.

Hey, Dong Joon.

How have you been?

Right, I heard that Candidate Han Min Shik is at your hospital.

Well...

that's why I'm here.

They can't do it without me.

We're in disarray because of your hospital, you know that?

Doctor.

I'm late because the surgery was prolonged. I'm sorry.

No worries.

I got here early.

Tae Soo.

Yes.

Chairman asked me to be in charge of

Candidate Han Min Shik's surgery.

Doctor,

- but the heart is... - Tae Soo.

Let's do it together.

We'll start soon.

Taesan Hospital, please get ready to extract the heart.

Tae Soo.

Taesan.

Dong Joon.

Huh?

I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you.

You mean the artificial heart surgery?

It's okay.

I understand you couldn't tell me.

Let's pray.

Thank you for your sacred love and for giving us our precious lives.

We hope the patient will have a comfortable journey to heaven.

Let's start.

Scalpel.

Can I have some gauze?

- We should call Doc to say we're on the way. - I'll call him.

We finished just now.

We'll be there in an hour if we leave now.

Yes.

Tae Soo.

Let's do it together.

Sir,

I'll soon administer the anesthetic and start the operation.

It finally feels real...

now that I'm lying down like this.

It'll be all done once you wake up.

Dr. Choi.

Please...

make sure to save me.

I'll see you after the operation.

Take a deep breath so your chest will inflate.

You'll fall asleep now.

Take a close look at

every single detail.

Of course, we will.

Dr. Kim is waiting in the adjacent room in case something goes wrong.

Everything will be fine.

Of course, it will be.

He's an extremely expensive patient.

Welcome.

The operation will start soon.

We trust you, Chairman.

Tae Soo,

we're here.

You should text him.

We see Taesan Hospital now.

We'll be arriving soon.

- Dong Joon. - What?

Loupe. I forgot my loupe.

What?

Could you get it for me? I have another one in the resident's office.

How could you forget your eyes?

But why do I have to go?

I have to prepare for the surgery.

I'll be on call for you this weekend.

This weekend?

Where is it?

It should be on the desk.

Okay.

Go get ready.

Okay, here we go.

Let's start the operation.

Scalpel.

Doctor.

I'm here, Doctor.

Where's Dr. Park?

What?

Where's Tae Soo?

I thought he was here.

He asked me to bring his loupe.

Is he not here?

I saw him going into the operating room.

- Dr. Koo. - Yes.

Find out what's happening.

Certainly.

Are you sure you came here together?

Yes, I'm sure he came in here.

He's not answering.

Pick up. Pick up.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Park.

Where are you now?

Koo Dong Joon is already here.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay if you're running a bit late.

You're on your way now, right?

I'll be waiting in the operating room.

I don't think I can make it today.

Tae Soo.

We're almost there.

If we succeed in this surgery,

it's all over.

We can have all the things

we wanted back then.

Not what "we" wanted. You did.

Listen carefully, Tae Soo.

It's not too late now

to bring that heart here.

Please, Tae Soo.

Park Tae Soo!

Two, three!

What's her condition?

She came to a construction site to deliver food, and someone found her passed out.

How long ago was that?

About 20 minutes, apparently.

Patient, can you hear me?

Where does it hurt?

Stomach, my stomach.

Pick.

How far along are you?

Park Tae Soo, what are you doing here?

Get out.

Doctor.
