Nurses working at cardiothoracic surgery receive intensive training for...
...CPR, defibrillation, and ECMO.
I couldn't wait for a physician to come...
...when the patient's condition suddenly worsened.
I'm just frustrated that we can't perform defibrillation like the nurses in America.
Do you know how many doctors there are in the hospital?
You should've waited! We even announced it on the PA.
Nurse Kim, what would you do if something like it were to happen again?
I'll do it again.
I can't just let a patient die.
Dr. Nam, why did you give out the order that Chief Choi was going to make?
It wasn't even your patient.
I wanted to protect Chief Choi.
I knew he was going to give the order to save a patient's life.
And I knew all the professors gathered here would've rebuked him.
I wanted to keep learning from Chief Choi, the best surgeon in Korea.
I thought it was the right thing to do.
Are you saying that you were aware of the repercussions but you did it anyway?
A beating heart is crucial in saving a life.
All the nurses and physicians working for cardiothoracic surgery...
...know how important it is not to delay time.
If that kind of situation were to reoccur, I'll make the same decision.
Chief Choi, would you like to say anything about this incident?
Yes.
First of all, I want to apologize for the on-call physician...
...who tried to commit suicide.
This happened all because of me.
Please accept my resignation and settle this case.
Resignation?
Professor.
There aren't enough cardiothoracic surgeons to treat an influx of patients.
Therefore, we have PAs to help us instead.
This is an abnormal phenomenon in our field.
No matter how hard I try to explain to you about our situation,...
...a person can die in a flash.
They can't live if we miss that crucial moment.
I don't ask you to understand.
But I bet these kinds of situations will keep occurring...
...if we don't change our system.
We're such a dynamic duo.
We both got into trouble.
Nothings gonna happen.
I got a 2-month pay cut.
Was it so wrong to give an order to someone who can do CPR?
A patient was dying…
What does it mean by following protocol?
I feel totally betrayed.
I feel so empty�
