Doctor Cha (닥터 차정숙)

DOCTOR CHA

Have you been taking your immunosuppressants?

Well…

I've been busy lately so I did forget a couple of times,

but I did take them regularly.

How do you feel these days?

I'm tired even on my days off and I've been having indigestion.

Since when?

Since about a week…

before my regular checkup?

Actually,

when I coughed today,

there was some blood.

That wouldn't be surprising.

Your CT and ultrasound readings came out,

and they're worse than I thought.

First, you have more ascites than I anticipated,

and your liver density has decreased by a lot.

Your L/S ratio has decreased a lot too,

and edema has formed around your portal vein as well.

Your right lung

has also developed a pleural effusion.

Of course, we'll have to do a biopsy to be sure,

but there's a possibility

this is a transplant rejection or acute liver failure.

All this happened because I forgot to take my immunosuppressants a few times?

You should be hospitalized, have a biopsy done,

and receive steroid treatment.

This is…

just so sudden.

I'm still quite stunned.

It'll be a huge inconvenience to everyone if one resident leaves.

I…

need some time to get things in order.

Do it as fast as you can.

Get things in order quickly and get hospitalized.

Yes, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.

Yes, patient Ms. Seok Hui-suk?

Yes, I'll be right up.

Yes, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.

Yes.

Hello.

How are you today?

Does your stomach still hurt? Did you eat?

You have to eat well.

I chugged three cups of coffee, but I still feel sleepy.

I was on night duty preparing for a conference,

so I only had two hours of sleep.

Dr. Cha, you seem fine.

Do I?

Will it get better in our second year?

We're dispatched anyway, so it'll all be the same.

Still, I want to hurry up and become a second-year.

Don't you agree?

Yes, I think it'll be great

once we become second-years.

It'll be

really great.

Hello.

Do you remember me?

-Yes. -You haven't called.

So I came here to see you, though it may seem rude.

Have you given it some thought?

About our father's bone marrow transplant.

Don't you feel

even slightly bad for asking me this?

We'll compensate you handsomely.

So please let us know the amount you would like.

Yes?

Did you call for me, Professor?

Do you want coffee? I have tea too.

I'm fine. I already drank some.

But why did you want to see me?

Dr. Jeon, I want to ask you a favor.

Maybe I pushed myself too hard recently. I'm feeling pretty tired.

I want to run some tests,

but it'd be weird to order them myself.

Can you put in an order for a liver function test, a CT, and an MRI?

Yes, I can do that.

If this is your medical checkup,

should I add a gastroscopy or a colonoscopy as well?

I think that can be done after seeing the blood test results.

Also, please ask that they run a 1mm-thick scan for the liver CT.

One millimeter?

Isn't 1mm the protocol for liver cancer or a liver transplant?

Why would…

Because I need to.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Okay, I'll get it done.

Yes?

The police station?

Yes, this is Kwak Ae-sim.

You're a victim of the Seomun convalescent hospital scam, right?

Victim? Me?

That land is prohibited from development,

but we received a report that investments were received to develop a hospital.

It looks to be a sophisticated scam case.

I think you'll have to come to the Seodaemun Police Station.

I see.

Professor.

Ms. Kwak.

You must know now since the police station contacted you.

I'm very sorry about the investment.

I lost both money and friends over this.

The woman you met at the restaurant

was a woman I had been seeing after my wife died.

I had no choice but to reconcile with her because of this recent incident.

Please forget about a loser like me and start over with someone new.

Hello?

Ms. Kwak? Is that you?

Ms. Min, it's been a while.

What a coincidence.

I know, right?

There are rumors that the convalescent hospital you invested in

is all a scam.

Is that true?

The money you borrowed from me is safe, right?

Of course.

Professor Choi, over here.

I have some materials I urgently have to review.

I think I'll have to eat later.

Do it after you eat.

I have something to give the professors in our department.

I'm sorry. You can give it to me next time.

Okay.

Okay, let's get up too.

Take your time.

Thank you…

to you both.

For…

For what?

For being my fellow residents.

They say the friends you make

during med school and your residency last forever.

But I haven't worked for so long that I haven't seen my colleagues in ages.

I wanted to thank you for eating with an old resident like me

and letting me in on things I don't know.

It's nothing.

That's nice and all,

but you're talking as if you're going somewhere far away.

It feels weird.

Be on good terms with the other residents too.

It'll be awkward if you become enemies with someone you'll work with.

-Take it. -No.

-Like them? -I won't!

-Take Bong-suk's wedding invitation. -No, I won't!

You of all people must accept this, you punk!

I of all people won't accept it!

I won't accept it!

Then I'll read it to you.

Don't read it. I won't listen.

Even if I had ten ears, they are all closed!

Let go of me!

Professor Oh, read it!

No, I'll kill you if you do!

-Don't read it, you punk! -"Wedding invitation."

"We are two people

who used to walk on separate paths."

Then keep walking separately!

-"But we'll now walk on the same path." -Don't walk on the same path!

"Please join us in blessing our new life together."

"The groom, Jung Seong-han."

"The bride, Lim Bong-suk!"

Bong-suk!

Hey, Chief Yoon.

Make sure you come to the wedding.

I'll pay for your meal ticket.

Would you go if you were me?

"I am leaving once this night passes, to a person I don't want to go to."

"As my tears fall, I depart to a person I do not even love."

"I shed endless tears."

Hey, hold on.

Where is Professor Seo?

I need to give him this.

Something came up at home, so he left early.

Really?

I have to give him this.

Bong-suk!

LAW FIRM KIM DONG-WOOK

Mother.

Why on earth are we here?

If you're going to get a divorce anyway, you need to be prepared too.

Are you just going to let her walk over you?

Jeong-suk even sent you a divorce petition!

I'm not getting a divorce.

You need this!

This is necessary. Follow me.

-Come on. -Follow me.

After hearing your story,

it's undeniably clear that you're the spouse at fault.

So naturally, you don't have the upper hand.

Then,

what about the assets?

Will he get his assets taken from him?

How will the assets be divided?

Division of assets depends on contribution,
