Despite the diagnosis of lung cancer and a lot of risks with the replacement of the artificial heart, Chairman Shin still gave the go signal to Teacher Kim to continue with his surgery. Below are the highlights of this episode entitled "Burden of Risks".
HIGHLIGHTS
1. The Two Choices
As one of his plots to completely destroy Teacher Kim, President Do went to Doldam Hospital to complicate the smooth-sailing plans for Chairman Shin's surgery. He only provided two options for Teacher Kim to choose from which are: (a) replacing all of Teacher Kim's surgical team, or (b) doing a live surgery.
This infuriated Teacher Kim but he tried to regain his composure. He can't afford to work with the suspicious staff from Geodae Hospital so even if it's hard, he decided to do the live surgery.
2. Are they really dating?
The night before the actual surgery, some of the staff went for drinks. The casual setting became heated as Nurse Oh and the others started asking whether Doctor Dong Joo and Doctor Seo Jung are already dating.
Seo Jung immediately shrugged the topic off by denying the dating rumors and emphasized that she only sees Dong Joo as her intern and hoobae which caused Dong Joo to be disappointed. As his payback, Dong Joo suddenly blurted "saranghae Seo Jung sunbae" which caught everyone's attention. When the atmosphere already became awkward, Dong Joo started saying "saranghae" to each person present in the restaurant. This scene was also highly noted by Han Cinema.
3. D-Day
Finally, the most awaited day for Doldam Hospital already came as it's already the day to conduct the surgery for the VIP of Geodae Hospital, Chairman Shin. The cardiothoracic and general surgeons from Geodae Hospital together with President Do started flocking in the lobby area of Doldam Hospital to witness the historical surgery for the said unknown and secluded hospital.
Teacher Kim and his team planned on doing the entire complicated surgery within six hours and everyone can't afford to make mistakes. However, during the removal of the adhesion, Seo Jung accidentally popped an artery.
