Hospital Playlist (슬기로운 의사생활)

Your wife is about to faint right now.

She's pushing, but the baby won't drop.

A natural birth is simply not possible in this situation.

If the head is stuck in the birth canal for too long, it's not good for the baby.

The fetal heart rate is becoming erratic as well.

This is probably taking a toll on the baby too.

We'll go into surgery right away.

Your wife wants it too.

No. I can't allow that, Doctor.

Let's wait just a little longer. Please?

Can you park my car?

My wife has to have a natural birth no matter what.

She probably agreed to surgery because she's in too much pain.

-If she gets through this-- -Both she and the baby are at risk.

She's already exhausted

and the baby is face-up and just won't drop.

It hasn't budged for over three hours, so she needs surgery.

It's past 4 a.m. now, which means it's been almost four hours.

My daughter-in-law promised me that she'd give a natural birth.

Doctor, let's wait a little longer.

If it really doesn't work, she can go into surgery then.

Right, that is now.

We cannot wait any longer.

This is an emergency situation!

What are you doing? Why isn't she in the OR yet?

Professor Yang, her family is insisting she must give a natural birth.

They won't let us--

They say babies who are born vaginally are smarter.

Can't we wait just a little longer?

Back in my day, women gave birth naturally without any problems

even after being in labor for three days.

I guess your goal is to have a natural delivery,

but ours is to ensure that the delivery is safe for both the mother and the baby.

It's already late.

Ms. Choi Ye-rim needs surgery,

and she has already given her consent.

We'll go into surgery now.

-Hurry and get ready. -Okay.

-Mr. Kim Hyeong-jin. -Yes.

Here you go. Please wait in front of Room 4.

It's so busy today, as usual.

This is nothing.

-Mr. Kim Hyeong-jin, please come in. -Sure.

We need to confirm your date of birth.

January 25, 1974.

Mr. Kim Hyeong-jin is next.

I remember him! He lives in Yesan. When he came in last month,

his AST level was 150.

Do we have his results already?

Do you even remember such details?

Quiz Champion.

Don't you know Janghak Quiz?

I've heard of it, but I grew up watching The Golden Bell Challenge.

So did I. I watched Star Golden Bell.

Hello. It's been a month, right?

-Hello, Professor Lee. -Hello.

So how's everything? Good?

Yes, I feel great.

I think the surgery went very well.

But you don't look so well today.

I was on duty last night, so I didn't get any sleep.

You got blood work done this morning.

It doesn't look like we have the results yet.

They're sending you the results now.

Great, thank you.

It looks like you've gained a bit of weight.

Mr. Cho Seon-ho.

Here's your prescription for one more week.

Call this number to book your appointment.

Okay, thank you.

Professor, we don't have all the lab results yet.

We'll start ten minutes late.

Your gown is in the treatment room.

Really? Good timing.

I just finished the surgery. I won't be late, then.

I'll head there right away.

Doors are opening.

Doors are closing.

Doors are opening.

Let's hurry.

Thank you.

Hi. How's the candy?

I have three more at home.

Strawberry, orange…

and toasted rice!

Strawberry, orange, and…

Plum, maybe?

Apple?

No! That's not it!

Okay, all right. Ha-yul, are you upset with me?

Let's see.

It's dropped a little. Her jaundice is definitely getting better.

The color of her eyes looks much better now.

I was worried as it was going up. But thankfully, it's dropping now.

How was she the past two weeks?

Pretty good, but she did have a fever last week.

Stop! Don't tell him that.

Okay, I won't tell him.

-Does she still have it? -No, she's fine now.

When she's running a fever,

-I get scared-- -Stop. Don't say that.

Okay, I won't.

Hold on.

Just a second, Ha-yul.

Let's see.

You're wearing a hairpin.

Your hair looks nice.

Ha-yul, this is you.

You can play with this, okay?

Okay.

We tested her vitamin levels last month,

and everything looks good.

So I suggest we change it all up.

No more vitamin injections. Let's switch to oral medications.

I see. What about Vitamin K?

Yes, that too. Let's simplify the treatment plan.

That should be okay, right?

Yes, she'll be fine.

This is you.

That's me?

My gosh, what a nice drawing.

Yes!

Please draw me again next time.

Okay, sure!

Let's go.

Say "Thank you, Doctor."

Thank you.

What did she say?

"Toasted rice flavor." She remembered it.

Bye, Ha-yul. Bye!

Bye!

-Hello. -Hello.

Yes, take a seat.

Everything looks good.

It looks fine.

I'm relieved to hear that. I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

Does the X-ray look okay too?

Yes.

What about the blood test and electrocardiogram results?

I just told you everything's fine.

Doctor.

My husband has been getting leg cramps at night--

That has nothing to do with the heart.

No other questions, right?

-No. -Then I'll see you next time.

Hello?

Who?

Thank you.

Take care. And don't forget to exercise.

-Hello. -Hello, please have a seat here.

You had your surgery over two months ago, right?

Yes, it's already been two months.

You got a haircut.

Yes, I did.

I looked like a crazy person before.

Professor Kim, did my condition get worse?

No, everything looks good.

I reviewed everything starting with your pre-surgery X-ray.

Your X-ray and blood test results from today look good.

And your electrocardiogram is normal too.

This one was taken before the surgery,

and the one on the right is from today.

The lungs show up as black and the heart is white.

Your right atrium and ventricle were enlarged before the surgery.

You don't have to be a doctor to see the difference.

Your heart looks notably smaller than before.

Yes, I can see the improvement.

Yes, everything looks good. Did you experience any other symptoms

after your appointment last month?

No. Oh, right. Everything's been good,

but when I get up suddenly,

I feel lightheaded.

-Does it happen often? -No, just once in a while.

Is it common after the surgery?

Yes, it can happen after the surgery. I've seen it in some cases,

but it will go away with time.

As I've explained before, your heart is

at the same level as your brain when you're lying down.

But when you get up, your brain is suddenly higher than your heart.

So your blood vessels must contract the moment it happens.

Squeezing the tip of your garden hose

makes the water shoot out farther, right?

It's the same thing. The vessels must contract to pump blood to the brain.

If that doesn't happen right away, you can experience lightheadedness.

I see. I totally get it now.

You were given diuretics and antihypertensives after the surgery,

which can throw you off balance temporarily.

Rather than testing yourself to see whether your condition is improving,

I suggest you try to get into the habit of getting up slowly.

-Okay. -She's awfully impatient.

She always gets up quickly. She doesn't have the patience.

I'll be careful from now on.

-Any other questions? -No.

-All right, then. -Thank you.

-Professor Cheon will be here shortly. -Thank you.

Sir, our resident doctors in Cardiothoracic Surgery

perform tube thoracostomy most often on pneumothorax patients.

They do it several times a day.

Should I also call a resident in Cardiothoracic Surgery just in case?

We'll wait for Professor Cheon.
