Doctor John (의사요한)

I interviewed the interns yesterday.

They gave all sorts of answers to why they became doctors.

Do you remember your answer?

It must've been something cheesy.

Frankly speaking, such an answer is not necessary.

Newbies don't have answers to that.

Then why do they ask?

You guys ask that for every interview.

You ask why we chose to become doctors.

And you all say the same.

You say that it was because you wanted to save lives.

But it's true.

But the problem is, we can't always save all the patients.

Save all the patients?

There's a way for a doctor to always save...

the patients.

The way to save lives all the time.

- What is it? - Are you curious?

Yes.

I'll tell you once we reach the top. We're almost there.

Come on.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad. Dad.

Dad. Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Hello?

We're in Mount Sumun.

Someone fell.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Yes, I can hear you.

Yes. We are in Mount Sumun.

Please hurry.

Dad, help is on the way, so you have to remain conscious.

Hang in there.

Let's go.

No.

Please stop.

- We need to go. - Let's wait.

- We need to go. - Let's wait.

Help is on the way.

No.

No one's coming.

I couldn't call for help because my phone broke.

Then...

I thought someone would come.

I thought someone would pass by.

That's why we need to move.

Let's go.

Dad. Dad.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

This just came in.

The police are searching Mount Sumun for a person.

Dad, I think Mom reported us missing.

However, they're facing difficulties.

Due to the ongoing gale and blizzard,

the police have decided to stop the search.

Once the weather clears up,

they will resume the search once again.

Next.

In Paju...

Si Young.

Yes?

What time is it?

It's 6:20 p.m.

It'll take 12 hours...

until morning comes.

But in this state,

I won't be able to last another hour.

Dad, please.

I'll suffer from hypothermia and shock.

Si Young.

You are...

a doctor.

Explain my state using Visual Analogue Scale.

Compound fractures.

Pelvic fracture.

Massive bleeding and hypothermia.

In this case, VAS is...

Eight.

Nine.

10.

Right. You're right.

Theoretically...

and clinically speaking,

that's how we taught you.

But...

you're wrong.

That's incorrect.

The moment when you feel...

the most pain is...

when you realize...

that you won't get better and lose hope.

Let go of your hand.

No! Don't say that!

Let go.

You're not killing me.

You're helping me feel at peace.

I'll tell you how...

a doctor can always save lives.

Only...

taking...

care of...

patients who won't die to begin with.

That's the only way.

So let go of your hand.

Let go.

Dad. Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Stop.

Dad is in pain.

What are you doing? Why did you stop?

- Mi Rae... - Let me go!

No.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Why did you tell her to stop?

Was once not enough?

Are you trying to kill him again?

Mi Rae.

I'd like all of you to leave.

Do you think they're going to end his life-prolonging treatment?

They should've done it a long time ago.

But they had to take his inheritance and succession into consideration.

It's really complicated.

Shouldn't the board also talk about this?

I guess.

Si Young, what are you thinking?

By any chance, are you...

We know your dad's in pain.

But we can still detect his brainwave activity.

So he can't be considered brain dead.

But the chances that he'll recover is also pretty low.

Mom.

So are you saying we should remove the medical ventilator?

No, I don't want that.

I can't do that.

Why did you stop her?

His heart rate's back to normal, so why did you stop her?

That doesn't mean he got better.

I don't care if he's not like how he used to be.

I just want him to stay alive.

Even if he's bedridden like this,

I still want him to stay by our side.

He's still so warm.

Does this mean nothing?

I'm able to feel and touch him.

I know.

Dad can feel everything as well.

He can feel your hand,

your warmth,

and he also feels pain.

What if we're just...

prolonging his pain rather than his life?

Do you really think that is best for him?

Do you even care what's best for him?

Are you sure it's not because you want to feel at ease?

I know you're struggling to see Dad like this.

And if he regains his consciousness...

but is no longer able to live a normal life,

you'll probably end up struggling even more.

I'm never going to give up on him.

What's going to happen now, sir?

What do you mean?

It's the first time people started questioning whether the chairman...

should continue receiving the life-prolonging treatment.

If his family decides to stop the treatment...

Why are you getting ahead of yourself?

And they can't just end his life-prolonging treatment...

just because his family decides to approve of it.

Well, yes.

The chairman can't exactly be considered brain dead.

It all depends on what Chief Min decides to do.

Even if she decides to end his life-prolonging treatment,

this could end up going to court...

if any legal problems happen to arise.

Some people think I don't deserve to be a doctor again.

But I don't care about them.

I care more about the patients that are in front of me.

I hope you also think the same way.

Okay.

(Episode 5: 21g, the Weight of a Soul)

Would you like to order?

Two IVLs and a piece of cake.

- Give me the sweetest one. - IVL?

Iced Vanilla Latte.

How does she not know that?

- I should get going. - Sit down.

Eat and drink what I ordered.

You need to calm down.

Do you think I'm being emotional right now?
