Heart Surgeons (흉부외과:심장을 훔친 의사들)

No one asked you to save him.

Don't forget.

No Han Min Sik means no pediatric cardiac center.

This will be a difficult surgery.

I know.

We'll begin...

the surgery.

Ye Rin.

Did you know that the heart is a blood vessel?

The heart is a blood vessel?

You didn't know.

The two largest blood vessels in our bodies...

are twisted like this to form the heart.

Hold your breath.

Sorry? - Hold your breath.

My breath?

Okay, breathe.

Breathe. Why won't you listen?

See? We can stop breathing voluntarily,

but can we stop the heart from beating?

No, of course not.

Like that,

the heart beats on its own independent of our will.

It gives and receives electrical stimuli, and it beats.

I know that.

What if it stops?

What will you do? - Give CPR.

Yes, CPR. And then?

If there's a bigger problem with the heart, human hands save it.

Whose hands? Our hands.

Yes.

Here, take this.

You know peanuts are good for the heart, right?

You took that, so you have to come to Cardiothoracic Surgery.

I peeled those myself.

What?

Did you see how a sarcoma surgery is done?

No. - Today's surgery is like...

carving out the rotten part of an apple.

The key is how much of the cancer can be removed.

Surgeons must always watch surgeries.

That's how you improve.

You know Professor Choi?

He still watches surgery videos whenever he has time.

Okay. - Watch.

Hi, Dad.

Punk. - It's okay. Sit and watch.

Continue what you were doing.

What are you watching? - Sarcoma.

A video of an autoplasty.

Why don't you watch it live?

Do you have multiple personality disorder? You said not to.

Multiple personality disorder?

Chief. This is where you were.

You need to come right now.

Let's go.

Multiple personality disorder? - Let's go.

Multiple... You punk!

I found out why the director and Seok Han...

met with Han Min Sik.

Me. - Why?

He asked him to operate on his aide...

of 30 years.

Who's that? - The sarcoma.

Sarcoma?

The sarcoma that Seok Han is operating on now?

Why am I here?

Sit down.

Sit.

I said I'd do it, but Professor Choi insisted on doing it himself.

What if things go wrong?

Should I go in?

Are you confident?

Pardon? - Then go in.

Just because I'm confident...

The fact that it's sarcoma in itself is dangerous,

but the location of the tumor is very bad.

It's very rare to get sarcoma in the left ventricle too.

Then what should we do? Tell us.

Well... So...

If the patient put his last bit of hope in the surgery,

we should operate.

Of course. That's our duty, is it not?

You have enlightened this ignorant man once again.

You are always amazing, sir.

You kiss up.

I know you opposed this surgery,

but I understand Professor Choi.

It's natural for a surgeon to want to try it.

It's rare to get a sarcoma case.

Do you also see patients as cases?

What?

Well... That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Shouldn't surgeons want more cases in order to improve?

You need to operate as much as possible to improve.

The problem is, our subjects are people.

That's true.

I think there shouldn't be any other motives for operating.

Other motives?

He's removing the heart now.

Tray.

I will remove...

the heart.

Blade.

Let's begin.

Yes, sir.

A few days ago,

drank and came to the ward.

To the sleeping room.

I never saw him like that.

I think that's when he asked Tae Soo to be...

the first assistant.

You should've stopped him.

It's clear this surgery... - I want to see for myself...

why the professor chose to do this surgery.

Suture.

Cut.

Give me the valve.

I will...

put the heart back in.

Will he make it out?

There have been only three patients with sarcoma at Taesan, right?

Yes, I've seen two surgeries.

I think today's patient has it worst.

I'm sure Professor Choi decided to operate because he's confident.

Confidence isn't the only thing you need to perform surgery.

Then what else?

It means he's confident to take responsibility of the result too.

Cut.

I'll release the clamp.

Flow down. - I'll lower the flow.

It's v-fib. - Defibrillator.

Charge 10J. - Charging 10J.

Charged.

Clear. - Clear.

Charge 20J. - Charging 20J.

Charged.

Clear. - Clear.

Charge 50J.

Professor Choi, you'll burn his heart.

You can't. - Hurry!

Charge 40J.

I'll do it.

Get me an epi. - Bring me more drugs.

Epi, nitro-norepinephrine, dopamine, and dobutamine.

Get me everything you can. I need everything they can spare.

I guess his heart isn't coming back.

He shouldn't have insisted on operating on the patient.

Goodness.

Professor Choi.

Dr. Park.

Professor.

Let me do it.

The pump is on. The cardiac massage won't help.

Is his guardian outside? - Yes.

I'll go explain to the family. - Professor, we can't give up yet.

Let's put on the pacemaker. - It's already too late.

Professor. - His left ventricle isn't beating.

None of this will work.

Dr. Park, that's enough.

Prepare the pacemaker, please. - Dr. Park.

Now! - Dr. Park.

I can't believe the patient died on the table. Goodness.

I should have gone in and helped.

Make sure there's no chatter about this, so clean this up well.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Now, Choi Seok Han is...

probably out, right? - He's done now.

Look what happened to the patient the director brought in.

Besides, he used to be Candidate Han's aide.

I'm sure Professor Choi must've thought it was his chance.

Don't you think so?

I saw this coming when he insisted on...

performing such a difficult surgery.

Now, other possible candidate for the hospital chiefship is...

Is it just us now?

What do you think, Dr. Yoon?

Professor Choi had death on the operating table.

It was a difficult surgery, but how could the patient die in surgery?

There's no point in bringing...

the patient to the ICU just to avoid death on his table.

I think Professor Choi made the right call.

It's just that...

It's just what?

It's nothing.

Good job, Tae Soo.

You knew the patient would die.

What? - I'm certain that you knew...

how this surgery would turn out.

You think I knew?

Yes. - I don't understand you.

No doctors operate expecting the patients to die.

I think I'll need to do a surgery.

I won't if you oppose.

You're kidding, right?

I mean it.

You didn't want to perform the surgery.

Is there a reason why you had to do the surgery?

I needed the patient.

The patient needed me. That's my reason.
