01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

He told the creditor
that he had friends in the hospital

and they had made
the necessary arrangements.

That makes sense.

If he knows someone in the hospital,
it's possible for him to pull it off.

It's Guo-zhang.

He's been calling
since I took the insurance policy with me.

-I have to go.
-Give me a copy.

-Put the original back.
-Okay.

See you.

Zhao-ying.

Be careful.

Don't worry about me.

You should be careful too.

Hello?

Zhao-ying?

Hello?

Hello?

ZHAO-YING SONG

Zhao-ying Song: Come to my house quickly.

Recently, medical care and drug management
issues have been arising nonstop.

Multiple cases of surgical malpractice
have occurred at Renxin Hospital.

They have also mishandled expired drugs.

After the resignation of
Renxin Hospital Director, Hsien-rong Chen,

the Ministry of Health and Welfare
has announced

the latest list of people to be punished.

The Taiwan Medical Accreditation Council
will also hold a press conference

to address the recent medical management
and procurement issues

as well as propose methods of improvement.

Patient's son

Patient's son, Zheng-xun Hsiao

Insurance indemnity.

m*rder strikes in residential community.

Last week, we covered Renxin Hospital
using expired drugs,

causing the death of a patient.

Now, a related m*rder has happened.

The police stated that family members
of the Renxin scandal victim

were attacked at home.

One was k*lled, one was wounded.

Mr. Zeng was stabbed in multiple areas
and died of excessive blood loss.

He was found dead at the scene.

Ms. Song passed out after being hit
with a blunt weapon in the head

She is currently in the emergency room.

Mr. Zeng's mom died
during a surgical operation

at Renxin Hospital.

The family has sued the hospital.

The hospital was then accused
of using expired drugs.

Since the family members
of the victim were attacked,

the police believe that
these two cases are related.

A task force has been established
to investigate the two cases.

According to latest announcements,

having analyzed the fingerprints
on the m*rder weapon left at the scene,

the police have come up
with a list of suspects.

-Hello.
-Based on the fingerprints,

the police claimed that the suspect
is an anesthesiologist

-It's me, Zheng-xun.
-at Renxin Hospital named Hsiao.

Dr. Hsiao, did you see the news?

This anesthesiologist
has been suspended due to malpractice.

The police have confirmed this doctor
as the main suspect

and they are searching for him right now.

Tonight, the investigators
will make a national announcement

and release a photo of Dr. Hsiao

so that the public can help locate him.

Renxin Hospital has yet to make
any announcement concerning this matter.

They are doing everything they can
to save Ms. Song.

-I need to tell you something.
-Latest information states that

-I'm at your door.
-the anesthesiologist is Zheng-xun Hsiao

who works at Renxin Hospital.

He was responsible
for Mr. Zeng's mom's anesthesia.

During the surgery,

Zeng Lin Mei-man died
of malignant hyperthermia.

According to hospital records,

Zheng-xun Hsiao suffers
from insomnia and is an alcoholic.

-He dozed off during the procedure,
-I didn't do it.

which caused the accident.

-Renxin Hospital also used expired drugs.
-Do you believe me?

After the hospital director resigned,

the hospital announced
that it was not Dr. Hsiao's fault.

The committee
is still investigating the case.

Mr. Zeng has recently sued the hospital.

Hospital personnel disclosed

that Dr. Hsiao and Mr. Zeng's
girlfriend, Ms. Song,

have been in touch frequently.

Due to the complicated situation
between the victim and suspect,

the police have not ruled out m*rder.

You came here just to tell me
that you didn't k*ll anyone?

Someone hit me and I passed out.

After a while, someone woke me up.

I didn't know where I was.

My head was bleeding.

I went to a nearby emergency room
and asked them to help me.

I felt like something was wrong.

I went home.

I got some stuff and clothes.

I hid in a motel, took some painkillers

and dozed off.

I was thinking about Zhao-ying and me.

About...

About what happened to me 20 years ago.

I think, whenever I fall in love for real,

I worry so much that I'll lose her.

I get so worried

that I'll do something weird
and mess it up.

And that person will leave me.

If she leaves me, I can't lose her.

If I can't lose her then I won't be sad.

But eventually...

I get sad.

You know, a few years ago,
before my mom died of cancer,

I was always with her,
but I never cried at all.

At least, not in front of her.

When she died, I was on night duty.

She died alone.

-So lonely...
-Zheng-xun.

Drink the water.

Okay.

She didn't have anyone with her.

How lonely.

I never want to feel like that again.

I had an ex-girlfriend.
We were together for almost five years.

When she broke up with me,

she said, "Zheng-xun,

I never know what you're thinking.
It's like I don't even know you."

And then I thought of you.

I don't know you either.

I don't know what you're thinking.

I don't know your story.

I don't know your past.

I don't know if you're sad.

But I keep thinking
about what you said to me.

-What you said...
-Zheng-xun.

-I...
-Zheng-xun.

-Hey.
-Yes?

Focus.

I'm listening.

Because of my family,

I've had dyslogia since I was a child.

I need to try very hard
to understand everything you say.

Every time before I meet you,

I have to practice 5, 10, even 20 times

in order to perfectly convey

what I want to say to you.

I actually envy you.

You don't need to think before you talk.

I'm so jealous of that.

But this is my job.

Nobody is perfect, you know?

We always worry about not being accepted.

I know you're afraid
of confronting your future and past.

I'm scared too.

I don't want to feel numb anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Does it hurt?

According to our investigation,

the anesthesiologist suspect,
Dr. Hsiao, is still on the run.

The family members
might be involved in insurance fraud.

According to the insurance company,

the victim, Guo-zhang Zeng,
bought a lot of insurance for his mom.

The insurance company tried
to investigate the hospital,

but the hospital stated that
this is solely Dr. Hsiao's responsibility.

The hospital is obviously
shirking responsibility.

We have been informed

that Guo-zhang Zeng had
a large amount of debt before he died

and also before he sued the hospital.

Investigators might look into
whether he committed insurance fraud.

The main suspect, Zheng-xun Hsiao,
has not been found yet.

The police advise him to come forward
and cooperate with the investigation.

Zheng-xun, have you ever thought

about who's trying to frame you?

Zhao-ying says Guo-zhang
knows someone in the hospital.

The person who framed me
must be connected to the hospital.

Then you should start looking
inside the hospital.

Hello, miss.

I need hospital personnel
information from a few years ago.

Please write down your name
and phone number.

Don't scream.

Don't...

It's me, Zheng-xun.

What the hell? Are you crazy?

You weirdo.

-That hurts.
-What do you want?

I...

Are you okay?

What happened to you?

Why did you hit me so hard?

Why did you scare me then?

I need your help.

What is it?

Let's get out of here.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I never thought you'd ask me
to have breakfast.

-Actually...
-Yes?

Dr. Hsiao needs to ask you something.

Dr. Hsiao?

Why are you here?

I don't have time to explain.

Tell me, who chose Mrs. Zeng
for the surgery demonstration?

Why would I tell you?

Are you sure?

Look at everyone related to that surgery.

One family member dead, one wounded.

One doctor resigned,
one is now the main suspect.

You think you can get away with it?

How would I know who chose her?

-Let go of me.
-Hey.

Stop it, you two.

Dr. Hsiao knows
that you suggested Mrs. Zeng.

Tell him who told you to do it.

Are you not talking?

So, you arranged it with Guo-zhang?

Me? Seriously?

I was just the messenger.

-No, I can't...
-Dr. Wu.

Just give this to him.

I already told him about it.

-You have?
-Yes, I have.

Thank you.

Never again.

Of course.

Thank you.

So, Guo-zheng and Jian-de
were the ones who arranged it.

No wonder he asked me a few questions.

What did he ask you?

He asked me
if you usually use succinylcholine.

Wait.

They knew that Dr. Hsiao
usually uses succinylcholine,

so they chose Mrs. Zeng
for the surgery demonstration?

Yes, succinylcholine
triggers malignant hyperthermia.

What are you thinking?

If that's the case,

it's probably Jian-de who k*lled Guo-zhang
and hurt Zhao-ying.

The wound on my head was also...

Yesterday, he asked me
if Ms. Song was staying at our hospital.

-He even asked which room it was.
-Did you tell him?

I did.

-I need to go to the hospital.
-What? Hey...

-I know who framed you.
-I know too.

It's Jian-de.

Let's go the hospital first.

RENXIN HOSPITAL

Jian-de used to be a surgeon.

He got involved in a medical scandal.

This is Dr. Chen.

Sir, there's going to be a trauma surgery.

The patient has a liver laceration
and has gone into shock.

The ambulance will be here in ten minutes.

Have the ambulance change its route.

If we transfer him now,
he won't get to another hospital in time.

He has a liver laceration.

We wouldn't be able to save him.

We should at least try.

Is that what we do
with the lives of patients?

Listen to me if you still regard me
as your teacher.

Have the ambulance change its route.

I don't understand. Why?

Dr. Chen said not to admit the patient?

He said that we can't save him.

How is that possible?

Maybe you should go ask him.

I'll go now.

Sir.

There's a patient with a liver laceration.
Why aren't we taking him?

His vital signs are low.

It's a waste of time.

I know it's difficult
and we don't have the best equipment.

But I have confidence. Let me try.

Sir, we're running out of time.

They're on their way,
waiting for our response.

The vacant surgery room
is being saved for a VIP patient.

He's coming in soon.

My superiors are pressuring me to do so.

Sir.

Saving lives is important.

But we should save
the ones we're sure about.

Are you sure?

We're not taking him?

Did you make yourself clear?

We need to trust Dr. Chen's judgment.

We can't save him
with the equipment we have.

How do you know without even trying?

How confident are you?

Fifty percent?

Not even 30 percent?

We'll probably even get in trouble.

Tell them to turn around.

We need to protect ourselves, okay?

Tragedy struck after a hospital
turned away a patient.

A hospital in the central region

was asked to accept a terribly injured
patient in response to a 911 call.

Upon the ambulance's arrival
at the hospital,

they requested for the patient to be
relocated to a hospital 20km away.

On the way there,

the patient died due to lack
of immediate treatment.

According to medical professionals,

it was likely that the doctors on duty
were inexperienced.

The hospital decided to play it safe
and rejected the patient

who was in critical condition,
which led to the tragedy.

Go and turn yourself in.
You'll only be suspended for six months.

About this incident...

The hospital hopes that you two
can bear the responsibility for it.

When it blows over,

I'll find a way to help you
get your job back.

I'm going abroad for training soon,

but don't worry.

I'll recommend you
to the hospital when I get back.

You can get a promotion.

This is all just formality.

I'm sorry about this.

I don't understand.

They've been doing this forever,

but when something happens,
we're the ones to be blamed.

Don't worry too much.

We should trust Dr. Chen.

Didn't he tell us

that if we become
attending doctors in half a year,

we can come back to the hospital?

Hospital politics
have always been like this.

When something happens, the people
up there need to put out the fire.

So, they sacrifice
unimportant people like us.

It's selfish, but what can we do?

It's just the SOP, you know?

So, we're not going to do anything?

We'll just get sacrificed by the system?

We won't.

Trust me.

In the future,

we can change the system.

The sun always comes out after the storm.

Right?

Cheer up.

So, we've been waiting for a notice
that our suspension has been lifted.

It's kind of weird
that we haven't heard anything yet.

So we came in today to ask you
if you have any information about this.

I haven't seen your reinstatement notice
in the past two months.

-Nothing?
-Nothing.

LIDER HOSPITAL

Dr. Chen is probably busy.

Let's wait for a bit longer.

I don't trust them.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Yeh, sorry to keep you waiting.

That patient in there almost...

Hey, it's you?

Yu-han, it has been a while.

I thought it was another doctor
with the same name.

Apparently, it's you.

Yes, it's me.

BOAN HOSPITAL, SURGEON

You're an attending doctor now?

Yes.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

I'll keep your résumé.

We just wanted another surgeon,

but you're a very experienced doctor.

I'll discuss it with my supervisors.

Right.

About that incident,
what happened in the end?

It was all right.

Those news reporters and family members.

They blame it all on the doctors.

People think that doctors can't get fired.

Their false news can hurt our reputation.

Hello, Hong-ren?

What happened?

We agreed to come
for the interview together.

Hello?

Recycle this résumé for me.

Are you not going to show it
to the supervisors?

He was part of a medical scandal.

Why would I do that? What a waste of time.

That's true.

Mr. Liu!

Mr. Liu!

-Please move!
-Make way!

The patient is a 55-year-old man.
He's in shock.

Did you notify the operation room?

I did!

-Are you his family member?
-The laryngoscope...

-If not, please wait here.
-I can help...

Keep his airway clear.

Jian-de and the other doctor
left the medical world after that.

Hey, Zheng-xun!

Be careful. Come back safely.

ZHENG-XUN HSIAO

Hey.

Hey, it has been a while.

Where are you?

Do you want to meet up some time?

Meet up? Are you kidding?

Why would I meet up with a m*rder*r?

Are you in Zhao-ying's room?

Don't do anything reckless.

Don't worry.

She's safe.

You sound like you're in a rush.

-Are you on your way here?
-Don't do anything to her.

Give yourself a break.

Let me tell you a story.

This story is about
malignant hyperthermia,

which doctors rarely come across
in their career.

Mr. Zeng, I took a look
at your insurance papers.

You've been getting a lot of money
from us in the past two years

because of your mom's surgery, right?

That's too slow.

Let me teach you a more efficient
and a more effective way to do it.

Dr. Hsiao hasn't been
at this hospital for a long time, right?

He's very good.

He has worked with the director
in multiple surgeries.

He sounds awesome!

Renxin Hospital doesn't use dantrolene.

Arrange for your mom to stay there.

I'll arrange the surgery.

Why did you k*ll Guo-zhang
and hurt Zhao-ying?

It was an accident.

Guo-zhang got impatient
and wanted to settle things.

And Zhao-ying...

She was just unlucky.

ZHENG-XUN HSIAO

Zhao-ying Song: Come to my house quickly.

And then I thought,

you like to take the blame
for others, right?

Then take it for me this time.
What difference can it make?

Hello, I'd like to report something.

I'm at the Chenfeng Building
on Zhongshan North Road.

I hear someone arguing.
It's pretty serious.

Can you send someone to take a look at it?

Liar.

If it wasn't for the money,

if it was just an accident,
why are you in Zhao-ying's ward?

Don't worry.

I'm just here to check something.

The story's not over yet.

I still need to do something.

After that,

I'll turn myself in.

I don't understand.

They've been doing this forever,

but when something happens,
we're the ones to be blamed.

Trust me.

In the future, we can change the system.

The sun always comes out after the storm.

Hello, Hong-ren. What happened?

We agreed to come
for the interview together.

He was part of a medical scandal.

Why would I do that?

I don't trust them.

Hong-ren!

What are you doing? Get down here!

Get down!

Jian-de.

I can't tell whether it's day or night.

What are you talking about?

Stop it. It's dangerous up there.

Come down.

Come down first and then we'll talk.

Stop it, please.

Look, after I contacted you,

-Jian-de, the sun won't come out.
-I found some places...

And clinics that were willing to hire...

Use direct current shock.

-Are you his family member?
-The laryngoscope...

-If not, please wait here.
-I can help...

Keep his airway clear.

I solemnly pledge to dedicate
my life to the service of humanity.

I will give to my teachers the respect
and gratitude that's due.

I will practice my profession
with conscience and dignity.

The health and well-being of my patient
will be my first consideration.

I will respect the secrets
that are confided in me.

"I will foster the honor

and noble traditions

of the medical profession.

-My colleagues
-My colleagues

-will be my sisters and brothers.
-will be my sisters and brothers.

-I will not permit
-I will not permit...

considerations of creed, nationality,

race, political affiliation,

-or social standing
-Or social standing...

to intervene between my duty
and my patient.

I will maintain the utmost respect
for human life.

I will not,

even under threat,

use my medical knowledge

to violate human rights."

Hsien-rong Chen

Two doctors were discharged
after the Lider Hospital scandal.

I know, one of them was Jian-de.

When investigating Jian-de,
I went to Lider Hospital.

Hsien-rong was head
of the surgical department then.

Do you mean that Jian-de's plans
are all targeted at Hsien-rong?

Dr. Chen, remember me?

-Jian-de, you're here.
-It's good that you remember me.

NEXT EPISODE

-Careful. Don't hurt the patient.
-What happened?

There's only one hospital nearby,
we're sending them there.

I've learned a lot from you.

How to use the system to k*ll.

Doctor! Nurse!

You have to admit,

I was your most talented student.

Ms. Song, can you hear me?

Minor injuries over there.
Major injuries will be treated here!

I'm not only getting revenge.

We're both playing the system.
