Heart Surgeons (흉부외과:심장을 훔친 의사들)

Mom.

She'll use Taesan Funeral Hall when she goes, at least.

Professor Choi, looks like it'll take a while.

You should pronounce the death. Get her out of here.

No, Professor.

Now.

Tae Soo.

Just a little bit more.

Dr. Park.

Dr. Park.

Too much time has passed.

Doctor.

Mom.

You've worked hard until now.

Don't worry about us anymore,

and rest in peace.

We'll be fine.

How long must I step in myself?

My apologies. I should have checked on it first.

Sir. The hospital chief position has been vacant...

for over a year already.

So?

Due to the prolonged vacancy, people are talking,

and even these tiny matters...

require your personal attention.

Are you telling me to pick a hospital chief?

I wouldn't dare.

That's not exactly what I mean,

but in order to lessen the burden on your shoulders,

the person who can handle the tasks the way you want them to be...

should be the hospital chief.

I won't disappoint you. I will do my best.

I'll really do my best.

Professor Son, how dare you barge in here?

I've been working here as a doctor for 20 years.

I had never thought I would end up here.

How dare you talk to him that way?

Professor Lee, that's all right.

Yes, sir.

Did you pronounce her death?

Did you have to be that cruel?

"That cruel"?

We provide medical services here.

Rich and successful patients...

should receive better treatments. That's how it should be.

Those patients who only take up space here...

won't be able to stay at Taesan starting now.

Director Yoon!

If you're not happy with it, you must leave.

I'm not ready to look after the next patient as if nothing happened.

I hate it.

"I hate it, I hate it." You've been saying that for years.

I wouldn't be able to last here without some whining.

Right.

You got better at the job, not processing your emotions.

I thought I had detached myself from patients.

I can't stand it, especially today.

If you can't, tell me.

Don't hold it inside you.

What?

I'll help you.

Chief Koo Hee Dong from Cardiothoracic Surgery.

I'm disappointed.

- Why? - What does it mean to be a chief?

Isn't the chief the leader of a department? Like a boss?

This is a torture for me too.

He said that my department was a mess.

That crushed any self-respect I had for myself.

Then why did you stop earlier?

I thought you were going to have it out with the director.

Is that why you pushed me? Your powerless father?

What choice did I have? Was I to step up?

No, you can't. You should become a professor.

Try becoming a professor quickly.

I'll quit after I tell him off.

Really?

Of course. Do you think I like following him around?

Is that so?

I'll become a professor based on my competency.

Go tell him off now.

You little...

Do you think I'm happy?

Of course not.

The patient died right in front of you.

You told me...

to remember the patients I lost instead of the ones I saved.

I did?

You did. You told me that.

Keep your chin up, Chief Koo.

I'll get going.

That punk.

When Jin Woo comes tomorrow,

they said to send his mother to a sanitorium.

She'll use Taesan Funeral Hall when she goes, at least.

Dad, the Taesan you dreamt of...

doesn't exist anymore.

Taesan really needed you.

In order to get you your surgery,

he fabricated Professor Choi's daughter's test results.

Dad.

Why did you...

do that to the professor?

Even if we're in the same department,

lungs are completely different from hearts.

Hearts can show dramatic improvements time to time.

Lung diseases end up becoming chronic illnesses.

That's why I always tell my patients and guardians not to get tired.

"This disease requires a lot of time."

"It requires a lot of patience."

We know that you're doing your best, Professor Son.

In the end, I'm saying those lines to myself.

With the respirators, they can barely survive...

for a few months, just enough to walk slowly.

But I won't be able to see those patients at Taesan now?

We should try to stop that from happening.

Why are you so quiet, Professor Choi?

Do you really agree with Director Yoon?

When everyone said that you have changed,

I understood you.

I know how hard it was for you to work at Taesan for all these years.

But still. This isn't right, don't you agree?

Professor Son.

Until when do you think you can survive with that mindset?

What?

You said you were more relieved to stay at the hospital instead of...

going home after your surgeries.

You don't remember the last time you could rest without worries.

Whenever your phone rang,

you were scared that something was wrong with your patients.

Ms. Park Yoo Jin was a lost cause to begin with.

- Professor Choi. - The moment you operated on her,

it tortured everyone.

We're already short-staffed.

Aren't you sorry to see doctors getting tired while treating her?

Professor, that's enough.

- Am I wrong? - Choi Seok Han.

You really have changed.

If you don't change, you won't gain anything.

I must have misjudged you completely.

Dr. Park, I'm leaving now.

Professor Son. Professor Son!

Is this the Taesan you want?

Yes.

This is the Taesan I want.

Then I won't wait for you either.

SBS E29 Heart Surgeons "Hospitals Need to Make Money" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

This way, please.

Take a look. We have eight beds.

Licensed nurses look after...

the patients for 24 hours in three shifts.

All right. Let's head to the operating rooms.

Where did he get them this time? And who are they?

I guess he's trying to set up a cardiology center in Russia.

Thank you.

Were you talking to me?

I know Russian. Gosh.

Professor Choi is operating on a Russian patient, right?

Yes.

Lately, he's not accepting other patients.

He's going international these days.

That makes money.

Then should we go international too?

- How? - Let's target the Middle East.

There are a lot of rich people there.

Okay. This way.

Hey, let's get going.

My dad has been dodging the director lately...

because if you get on the wrong side of him, he goes berserk on you.

Take a look.

How was your tour today?

Your facilities seem top-notch and your system seems effective.

He's happy with what he's seen today.

I see.

The cardiology center we'll set up in Russia...

Come in.

Professor Choi.

This is Professor Choi Seok Han, the star surgeon of Taesan.

Nice to meet you.

Professor Choi is so high up now, it hurts my neck to look at him.

He doesn't do rounds anymore. Only to the VIP patients.

He hardly operates on regular patients anymore.

He's busy enough operating on patients the director brings.

He was scary in the OR to begin with, but he's scarier now.

I feel like I'll be kicked out if I make one mistake.

You saw how distant he was with Professor Son.

They used to be close.

Professor Son must have been hurt.

Professor Son has been down since that day already.

I feel so bad.

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do you want me to say?

I was curious to see whether you would take Professor Choi's side.

This isn't about taking sides.

Everyone just does their job.

See? She will never criticize Professor Choi.

What's the point? Everyone lives according to their worth.

I hate how tense it is at the hospital.

We're setting up a cardiology specialty hospital in Russia.

Since the country is so big,

the support fund is substantial.
