"Professor." "Professor." "I'm sorry." "I was wrong." "I was wrong." "Please forgive me." "I'm sorry." "I was wrong." "I was wrong." "I was wrong." "What are you doing?" "Professor." "I was wrong." "What's wrong with you?" "What are you doing?" "This is a tranquilizer." "I'm giving you a tranquilizer." "What wrong are you talking about?" "What have you done wrong?" "My father's operation?" "Or did you botch up Song Min U's operation?" "I did not make a mistake during Song Min U's operation." "Professor, I firmly believe, that you, as well I, did not make any mistakes in Song Min U's operation." "Am I correct?" "Please tell me." "I was wrong." "Doctor." "It can't be your mistake." "It can't be." "I believe you." "What is it?" "I have something to tell you." "The plaintiff has requested that when we find evidence of your mistake, we are to reject any offer of settlement or arbitration and to subject you to the most severe punishment possible." "I heard you brought information about the diagnosis, treatment and operation." "Can I present it?" "Yes, normally in malpractice cases..." "Please watch your words." "Malpractice has not been proven." "In cases like this, there is generally a lengthy period of investigation." "We plan to seek the assistance of specialists in the relevant areas." "And also..." "This information will establish that I did not make any mistakes." "Before you seek expert opinion, please review the information that I've assembled." "It will aid you in understanding the particulars of this case." "This information contains research on the causes of the patient's disease, surgical methods, and any unavoidable complications that might crop up during surgery." "The information will explain why this could happen to a patient without any negligence on the doctor's part." "You will understand why I did not make any mistake." "Lee Gang..." "Yes, that's right." "Yes." "What?" "!" "Come in." "I heard the truth has been revealed." "It was actually a mistake made by Prof. Gim Sang Cheol." "Prof. Gim went to see Song Min U's father." "It seems that Prof. Gim used too much strength when inserting the cotton pad into the vein of Galen and the ICV." "I said before that Prof. Gim has become very short-tempered." "It looks like his condition is very bad." "Why did you do this?" "Didn't you say you did not make a mistake?" "Why did you change your mind?" "Because I was wrong." "No, you weren't wrong." "And I wasn't wrong." "It was only bad luck." "Why do you insist on shouldering the disgrace?" "Maybe it's as you said, I'm a hypocrite." "If I don't own up, my student will be made a scapegoat." "How can I watch you become a scapegoat?" "Since my retirement days are nearing, will it make much of a difference if I leave a little earlier?" "I knew you would be like this." "Since it's Lee Gang Hun who's accused of the mistake, then it must be Lee Gung Hun who made the mistake." "Could the great Prof. Gim Sang Cheol have made a mistake?" "You certainly must know that people are bound to talk, about all of your kind acts and good deeds." "Finally, you've found the perfect opportunity to sacrifice yourself for your student." "You have nothing to lose when people say things like that, right?" "No, I can't allow that to happen." "I won't let you have your way." "I intend to save Song Min U, and show the world that neither you nor I made any mistake." "I'm not going to do this because of you." "I going to do this because I don't want my ability to be questioned." "I don't accept this kind of act, even if well intended, because it doesn't make me feel happy..." "Yes, proceed as you like." "Continue to show off your ability and save the patient." "What are you doing!" "What?" "Doctor." "Bad news." "Patient Song Min Woo's breathing is very weak." "Do a CT scan right now." "Check the schedule and see if we can operate on him immediately." "See him as a person." "Not just the son of someone who's well known and the honor you'll receive for saving him." "Only by seeing him as who he is, can you save him." "Doctor, I'm sorry about yesterday." "We're relying on you to save our Min U." "Very well." "Please believe in me." "These are students from the learning center that Min U works at." "Doctor, we're relying on you." "I am very apologetic for saying these words to Prof. Gim." "But this is a decision made and approved at the management meeting." "We decided to revoke the appointment of Prof. Gim as director of the cranial nerves center." "I'm very sorry." "Whether it be Song Min U's case, or your recent contact with the teaching staff, they said..." "I'm erratic, somewhat abnormal, right?" "This is very normal." "Does saying that about me mean they're normal?" "Are both of you certain that you're normal too?" "What's normal?" "And what's abnormal?" "One packages oneself and lives normally." "Possibly, my packaging has been torn open." "Prof. Gim." "I understand." "I accept it." "Since I am banned from surgery and from diagnosing and treating, it looks like I'm relegated to my research room and the enjoyment of research." "Thank you." "Director, Prof. Gim's behaviour is disturbing." "It looks like he needs to undergo a thorough examination." "If he's sick, he should know it himself." "It appears that he's on medication." "Micro Dissector." "Micro Dissector." "Yes." "Doctor, too much bleeding." "The pulse is beating faster too." "KUSA" "There will be even more bleeding with KUSA." "The patient will go into shock." "We can't stop because of the bleeding." "We have to excise the tumor quickly and then find the artery." "KUSA." "Professor." "The swelling in the occipital lobe is increasing." "Pulse is still beating very fast." "Blood pressure has started to decline." "See him as a person." "Not just the son of someone who's well known... and the honor you will receive for saving him." "But see him as who he is." "Only then, will you be able to save him." "Cut off the straight sinus." "Ah!" "That..." "Professor, it's too risky." "Because of the swelling in the occipital lobe, there's no room to maneuver." "The straight sinus needs to be cut to ensure the field of vision." "=channel for venous blood returning to heart=" "Pass me the aneurysm clip and butterfly needle." "Yun Ji Hye." "The straight sinus has been clipped for 10 minutes." "No backflow and no edema." "Needle tie." "People." "Precious people." "It didn't stick together." "The field of vision has been widened." "The tumor can be excised." "Do you have a full report on the patient's condition?" "Yes." "He's regained consciousness and he's able to follow commands" "Contact public relations." "Okay... got it." "Congratulations, your surgery is a success." "Good work." "To think of cutting off the straight sinus, what a courageous decision." "I had to make adaptions in order to widen the field of vision." "I'm envious." "How long do you want to be like this?" "Do you feel any numbness in your feet or hands?" "Ruby." "Eat more food so that you can quickly grow stronger and return home." "My name isn't LUBY." "Mmm...?" "It's RU-BY." "Right, you're called RU-BY." "It looks like the surgery was a success." "Did you watch me operate?" "Yes." "With that tumor, there always a chance of cerebral hemorrhage." "So I decided once and for all to excise it using suction and KUSA." "Given his condition, you should have stabilized him first and observed him." "His blood pressure was dropping and it was a bit risky to proceed." "Did the patient experience shock due to low blood pressure?" "Its really strange." "Did I handle it correctly...or poorly?" "A large sphenoid ridge meningioma." "A right-side sphenoid ridge meningioma." "Pressing against the frontal lobe and occipital lobe." "The tumor is spreading into the interior of the brain and pressing on the optic nerve." "It will cause a rapid decline in the vision in the right eye." "The tumor is pressing on the frontal lobe." "It will cause intermittent headaches, and, as well, abnormal behaviors." "For instance, being short-tempered." "Your right pupil is already enlarged." "I can deduce that your right optic nerve is under great pressure." "These symptoms caused by the pressure on the frontal and occipital lobes, can easily be resolved by treating the root of the problem, while you still have partial vision." "But if the optic nerve continues to be pressured, you will completely lose sight in one eye." "If the tumor cross the optic nerve, with continuing pressure and extension to the other side, you will lose vision in both eyes." "And who suffers from this?" "Gim Sang Cheol!" "Lee Gang Hun..." "You think I don't know about this?" "Prof. Gim, you must have surgery now." "You can't hide this." "What kind of surgery do I need?" "Who will operate on me?" "Who would dare operate on Gim Sang Cheol, South Korea's most renowned neurosurgeon." "I will." "I, Lee Gan Hun, will do it." "I can help you recover your vision." "I can operate on you and cure you." "Do you really think you can cure me?" "What an audacious fellow." "Get out." "Get out!" "Yes, I'll leave." "I'm the only person who can operate on you." "A large sphenoid ridge meningioma." "How can Prof. Gim have this?" "His edema is very serious." "It's putting pressure on his optic nerve." "If he doesn't have immediate surgery, he'll completely lose his vision." "I'll speak to the Professor." "I'll convince him to have the surgery." "Don't do it." "Pretend you don't know." "The more people know about it, the more stubborn he'll become about refusing surgery." "Why does it matter if others know?" "Aren't you, the first one to know about it, also the least likely person to know about it?" "At this point, he knows that the person he least wants to know, Dr. Lee Gang Hun, is also the person least likely to spread news of it." "Because Prof. Gim knows that the one who wishes to operate on him the most is you, Dr. Lee." "About 50 of our locally based residents will be attending today's lecture." "Well known physicians from Seoul and the Gyeonggi Province will also be here." "And attending doctors from Hye Seong University Hospital will also be listening to your lecture." "How much time until the end of Chief Go Jae Hak's lecture?" "There's about 15 minutes left." "And before your lecture, Assistant Director will be delivering a courtesy address." "You go in first." "Yes." "Thank you." "Despite your busy schedule, you've made the time to attend my inauguration ceremony as director of the cranial nerve center." "I'm elated." "It's completely different now from when," "I was an assistant professor at Chunha University Hospital." "This is not the way to go." "I want to tell everyone the importance of neurosurgery." "I've been working very hard on it." "My efforts have finally come to fruition today." "Brain." "I guess you don't know how mysterious and interesting this organ is, right?" "The Brain is our heart." "It is able to control a person's heart." "Don't you think neurosurgeons are cool!" "I spend my whole life researching the remarkable organ called the brain." "Even if I were to die tomorrow, I would not have the slightest regret." "Because through brain research, I've come to understand human nature and learned empathy." "Hello everyone!" "I am Dr Lee Gang Hun from Chunha University Hospital." "My lecture will focus on the standard treatment for glioblastoma, including drug treatments." "These words are unfamiliar to you, right?" "I'll explain them." "They refer to the tumors found in organs other than the brain." "Mainly cancers of the lung and the skin but also others." "Our brain mass is barely 1.4 kg, but it has more than 100 billion nerve cells." "Even if we use a micron microscope to study the brain's environment, that study would take at least three to four years." "I feel great sense of pride, in being a researcher and constantly exploring this unknown world." "Good job." "You've worked hard." "Aigoo." "Do you know Dr. Lee Gang Hun?" "He's sure to become an outstanding doctor." "Everyone is showing interest in our Professor Lee." "He's more popular than me, the Chief." "Today's conference seems to be purposely prepared for Prof. Lee." "News of Prof. Lee's talent and warmth has already spread." "I have to leave now to see a patient." "All right." "You've worked hard." "Just a little while ago, he surely would have said, "you've over-praised me." "I got here only because of Chief's blessings."" "Now, he just..." "It looks like he no longer needs to flatter me." "Aigoo!" "It has been a while since I saw you." "Chief Go." "Yes." "Your delivery today was really fantastic!" "Is that so?" "Yes." "These are draft minutes for the medical conference." "Yaaa... you finished it so quickly." "A large sphenoid ridge meningioma." "That explains his odd behavior." "The tumor puts pressure on the optic nerve." "His vision has declined rapidly." "It's ironic that a person who spends his whole life in researching the brain is hit with a brain tumor." "When Prof. Gim Sang Cheol, was in United States, did something happen to him?" "I know that," "Prof. Gim Sang Cheol was a student of Prof. Gim Sin U." "I am the son of the patient in the 20 year old medical malpractice case involving Prof. Gim Sang Cheol." "I see." "Because of that incident," "Prof. Gim Sang Cheol lost a lot of things." "Twenty years ago, Prof. Gim Sang Cheol, was just like the Lee Gang Hun of today." "A perfectionist." "He believed that he was the best neurosurgeon in the country." "Can't stop the bleeding." "It seems to be AVM." "When he came face to face with disaster, how could that type of person, face it?" "Moreover, it happened only a few days before he was to depart for a study program that he longed for." "Please tell me." "Although Prof. Gim Sin U handled all the problems, and Prof. Gim departed for the study program," "Prof. Gim Sang Cheol still can't come to terms with what happened." "He could not forgive himself and was overcome with grief." "He was disoriented... and was in a traffic accident in the United States." "When he woke up in the hospital," "Prof. Gim Sang Cheol had no memory of Ui Sin University Hospital." "He suffered from selective amnesia, and lost all memory of the event." "Possibly because..." "Prof. Gim subconsciously wanted to forget his mistake , he chose to erase that painful memory." "Your father's situation was very regrettable." "But it wasn't me." "Why?" "No matter what I do, you're always dissatisfied with me." "True, why is it?" "How long do you want to be like this?" "What is it?" "Why did you do that?" "What?" "One, two, three, four." "Four steps." "Why did you do that?" "Why did you assume responsibility for my mistake?" "Was it really your mistake?" "The unrivaled Lee Gang Hun." "The arrogant Lee Gang Hun has fallen into a deep pit and is struggling." "It looks like it's indeed a mistake." "Why did you do that?" "Why did you say it was your mistake?" "Why?" "Was it because you wanted to hear me thank you?" "Or did you plan to use this to threaten me?" "If those were the reasons, wasn't that too high a price to pay?" "Surgeries prohibited." "Consultations prohibited." "For the time being, you're relegated to this research room." "Why?" "Why did you do that?" "For you." "For you, there can't be any stains." "What?" "You, Lee Gang Hun, cannot have any stains." "You can't be like me, living in guilt for an entire lifetime." "You..." "You..." "You..." "You... are my past." "The Gim Sang Cheol who is obsessed with his own desires and stupidly and recklessly pursues them." "He can't fall apart because of one mistake." "A Gim Sang Cheol with no stains, with absolutely no stains." "Do you know what this is?" "It's the memory card that storing the video of the surgery on patient Song Min U." "Professor, when you heard that someone could have made a mistake during the surgery, you tried to check out the video records in the OR, right?" "But, the microscope video records in the OR had already been deleted." "So you believed that Lee Gang Hun must have made the mistake." "But, there's still a record in here." "It has a clear record of how I made the mistake." "What's next?" "If I reveal this recording to the whole world, then Prof. Gim Sang Cheol's past, will be stained, just like 20 years ago." "You won't do it." "Because you're a selfish fellow who only thinks of himself." "You think I won't do it?" "Then wait and see." "Let me operate on you." "If you allow me, Lee Gang Hun, to operate on you," "I'll do as you wish." "Then Gim Sang Cheol's past will be flawless." "If you don't allow me to operate, I'll be like you, shouldering the guilt and living in pain for the rest of my life." "Why do you insist on operating on me?" "Are you asking why?" "Performing brain surgery on our country's best neurosurgeon." "Do you think anyone can do it?" "The fact that I operated on your brain, will prove that I'm the best neurosurgeon after you." "How could I miss such a good opportunity?" "Just as I thought." "You'll only be fully satisfied after you make full use of me." "Correct." "Please make up your mind before noon." "Because in the afternoon, I intend to, take this memory card and meet Song Min U's parents." "64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." "Do you agree to the surgery?" "I have a condition." "I want to look at my brain." "I'll videocam the entire surgery for you." "No." "I want to see my actual brain, during the surgery." "This surgery can't be done with an awake brain procedure." "You know that." "That's why I'm giving you this condition." "Won't it be boring if Lee Gang Hun is the only one who sets conditions?" "When the tumor can be seen, wake me up." "Move the monitor near me, then I'll be able to see it." "After the surgery starts," "With part of your cranium opened and your scalp flipped over, how do you plan to look at the monitor?" "I can see." "I can see very clearly even using this eye." "It's impossible." "Because it's impossible, I'm sure Lee Gang Hun can achieve it." "Anyway, we are already in an inconceivable relationship." "For the sake of your teacher." "to give him an inconceivable gift, you'll overcome the difficulty, right?" "This is my brain." "Seriously, I want to see it." "While I'm still alive, while I can still see with my eyes," "I want to see my brain." "Doing mad things to satisfy my desires." "Making me struggle with self-criticism." "Allowing me to complete many research projects." "I seriously want to see it," "Even if only for a second," "I'd like to see my heart, before I die." "Professor." "You won't die." "And your eyes will also recover." "Will one's smell becomes better after losing one's sight?" "It's impossible." "This seems like the smell of Spring." "And also the smell of sunshine." "Professor." "The surgery will be successful and I'll be fine." "Yes, Professor." "Nothing will go wrong." "We'll support you." "Thank you!" "Work hard everybody." "Relax." "Yes, Professor." "This is the first time I've gone through this hallway lying down." "My patients had only the ceiling to stare at as they were wheeled in." "How anxious they must have been." "What?" "I can't go into the OR." "How could you wait until now to to tell me?" "!" "I just agreed to assist, because it was Prof Gim's surgery." "But, I can't do it." "I'm too nervous." "I'm even afraid to observe." "I'll do it." "I'll do it in place of Ji Hye." "Dr Seo, I am the primary surgeon for this surgery." "I know." "Then.." "I'll replace Ji Hye." "I'll be your assistant." "What?" "Dr. Seo." "I'm volunteering because I want to do it." "Give me this opportunity." "Professor." "Dr Seo is here too?" "That's really..." "I'm embarassed." "The surgery will proceed smoothly." "Please relax." "Fine." "I'm confident you'll all perform to the best of your abilities." "Doctor." "Yes." "Professor." "I have to start the anesthesia." "Okay." "Let me go into a deep sleep." "Wait a moment." "Dr Lee, if something happens to me, during the surgery," "it won't be your fault." "Don't blame yourself." "Life and death are predestined." "Starting anesthesia." "Yang Beom Jun." "Yes." "Let me do it." "Yes." "=Surgery Schedule=" "=Song Min U, Neurosurgery.=" "=ultrasonic knife that emulsifies and aspirates soft tissue=" "=Central nervous system tumors."
