Ghost Doctor (고스트 닥터)

Professor Cha. - Why are you so surprised?

It's not the first time.

Why are you asking me to do the surgery?

How could you trust me? - I always trusted you.

I trusted and believed in you the most.

And I also believed you cared as a doctor.

But you ruined one of my opinions about you.

Which 1 of the 2 do you think is more important?

If it's a skill one lacks, one can practice.

But can one redeem oneself from mistreating a patient?

I'm sure you know the answer to that.

Then why? Why do you still want me to do the surgery?

You asked me to stop you and help you.

And sometimes, during surgery,

something happens and patients just die. Right?

Don't mess up like last time.

Deal with it in one go, without fail, okay?

I forgot about you...

and what you did. You were the one who drove Chairman Jang to death.

It just slipped my mind for a while.

So is it me this time?

How?

Will you put me on the table and kill me with your scalpel?

Right.

If you rip my native arteries,

it will be a clean cut.

Jerk.

Professor Cha.

Please stop me.

Please help me.

No. I can't do this.

Then that day, were you...

Doctors' hands are always stained with blood.

By letting us operate on them, patients are putting their lives...

in our hands.

They are asking us to save them because they want to live.

The blood, flesh, and bones we touch every day...

embody the lives the patients have had.

All of their lives matter and are precious.

That's why you can wash off the blood after surgery.

And there's blood you cannot wash off in this world.

That's why you don't deserve to wear the doctor's coat anymore.

You've changed.

You said that doctors were technicians...

who needed to speak with their skills.

Tae Hyun. An Tae Hyun.

Why didn't you trust me a bit?

You should have trusted and waited for me.

Join my surgery.

I'll give you one last chance to get your hands bloody.

Wash it off or not. You started this, so you finish it.

What are you talking about?

You want Dr. An Tae Hyun to operate on Young Min?

That's nonsense.

Dr. Ko. Don't you know what he did?

I do. He's responsible for the chairman's death.

If you know, how could you suggest that?

It's partially his fault that Young Min is still in a coma.

No. He was the one who helped Professor Cha stay alive.

When Professor Cha was operating himself...

after taking over my body, he suddenly came out of my body.

I could only stand there and watch him die.

I could have killed Professor Cha.

But An Tae Hyun came in and saved him.

Things are different now.

We know what he did.

Do you think he wants to save Young Min?

How could you trust him... - Of course, I don't trust him.

I trust Professor Cha, not him.

You said that a miracle was 99 percent the will of above...

and the remaining one percent was the will and desires of people.

You saw it too.

I'm certain he'll come back just the way he was.

Professor Cha has a lot to protect...

and get back.

Goodness. You're back again.

That's my name.

You see, back in my day, 20 years ago,

this was the new design.

But now, this is vintage.

You still have this?

You bet.

When we come into this world, physically, we are naked.

But we still have one thing that belongs to us.

Only the lucky ones get to...

leave this world after making a name for themselves.

And not everyone gets that lucky.

You must have watched me at this hospital.

What kind of doctor was I?

Are you suddenly getting curious now?

Are you worried you might forget everything you went through here...

and go back to being a jerk?

I had gone into...

other people's bodies,

not just yours.

But among all bodies I took over,

one stood out.

You wanted to beat the ghost,

so you gave it your all. And I found that admirable.

But on the other hand,

I thought you should focus more on patients as a doctor.

But perhaps, I made you focus too much on your hands and skills.

Gosh. Talking about this now is pointless.

Once you wake up,

you won't remember a thing.

Young Min.

Try not to forget everything. Once you wake up,

be a doctor who focuses on his patients.

Okay?

I wish you luck with your surgery.

And I wish we would never meet ever again.

Oh, right. One more thing.

I'll be honest with you since we'll never see each other again.

I'm not nicknamed after Socrates.

But Hippocrates.

I'm honored that you are sending me off, Professor Cha.

This is as far as I can go.

I'm sure you know.

Of course.

Is this about here?

Mine is over there.

Goodness. I wonder if Chief Ban will have it easy now.

On the day of my surgery,

he rushed out...

because his daughter got hurt.

He cried his eyes out when he found out what happened.

He begged the hospital to keep me here.

Because of that, he was on bad terms with the higher-ups.

So he walks on eggshells around them.

Really?

I told him he didn't have to see me off.

I'm leaving now! Give me an autograph later.

I wonder if I'll be able to see a movie...

with him as the male lead.

My gosh. I might miss the bus if I stay here any longer.

I'm finally getting out of here after two years.

So I'll be checking out the view all I want.

I should really go now.

I hope you wake up.

And live a good life.

Bye.

Bye.

Goodbye, Gook Chan.

I'm sorry...

you didn't make it.

Don't fade away and disappear, okay?

We'll meet as two humans now. As a professor and a newbie.

Buy me food every day and excuse me from being on call.

How good will you be to me?

I hope I lose all of my memories of just him.

I hope you won't be a nasty person when you wake up.

Don't worry. I'll overwork only you. Like a madman.

Let's go to our last surgery.

We need to do well.

We must be perfect...

so that people will remember us for years to come.

Let's go, Seung Tak.

Choi Hoon Gil, 27-year-old male. We'll begin the VP shunt surgery.

The surgical sites are below the right ear and in the abdomen.

Expected duration, 1 to 2 hours.

Expected bleeding is 50 to 100.

Is all of this correct? - Yes, it's correct.

Okay, then. Let's begin. Scalpel please.

I can't perform that surgery.

Even the professors can't do it. How can I...

I'm not asking you to operate.

Then... - I'll lead the surgery.

I want you to assist.

We performed this surgery last year. Do you remember?

What if like before,

your hands shake, or we get separated during surgery?

I'll try to hang on as much as I can.

If not, Tae Hyun will back me up.

He can do that much.

Would he do it?

He will. The Tae Hyun that I know will.

What are they doing?

Cha Young Min?

What?

Oh? Then I have no choice.

I must protect these hands.

A doctor must consider more than a patient's survival.

He must consider the patient's life and make the best decision possible.

To protect that which is important in the patient's life.

I am the patient and the doctor right now,

and I'll choose the best I can do as the doctor for this patient.

Cha Young Min, 38, male.

The stenosis of the right innominate artery will be treated...

with a replacement via a median sternotomy.

An innominate artery replacement?

It's not a bypass?

This patient currently has an infection...

throughout his body.

The tissue is friable, so be especially careful, An Tae Hyun.

Yes, Professor.

Let's begin the surgery.

Scalpel.

Gauze, please.

Suction.

Cut. - Cut.
