Drama review of Good Doctor Ep 2

The second episode of Good Doctor begins with Moon Chae Won waking up and screaming from seeing Shi On standing half naked in front of her.  While throwing things at Shi On, she grabs hold of the TV remote control and incidentally turns on the TV which was currently broadcasting news about rapists tricking their victims to enter their house.

Shi On tells her that she is in his house.  Moon Chae Won retorts back that it is her house, then she realizes that she has entered the wrong apartment.







She later apologizes to Shi On for the misunderstanding.  Shi On tells her that he is the new resident in the pediatrics section of Sung Won University hospital.  Finally, Moon Chae Won introduces herself as Cha Yoon Seo from the pediatric team as well.  

She is later told by her colleagues about Shi On's handicap.

The first day of work for Shi On, begins with visits to the patients along with his colleagues.  One of his colleagues ask him why he hasn't taken any notes.  Shi On replies that he has been taking notes in his head and even tells them about the diagnosis on all the patients they have visited so far.

While Shi On does not keep up with the team, his attention gets piqued by a young boy (Seung Ho) who starts vomiting.  Shi On examines the child and keeps repeating to his colleagues that the patient is in danger.  Shi On explains his diagnosis despite his stumbling words but the other doctors do not really believe him.

Kim Do Han tells Park Shi On not to say or do anything.
The team leave the patient to prepare for the surgery they have been assigned to for the day.
However, just before the surgery, Park Shi On is nowhere in sight.  He has gone to see Seung Ho again, anxious that he might be in danger.  Shi On cannot wait anymore after seeing the anxiety that the child's mother is going through.  With the help of nurse Jo, Shi On rushes the patient to the surgery room although permission wasn't granted yet.  Effectively, the apparatus show that Seung Ho's vitals are dropping precariously.  In this situation, Shi On is panicked too and moves with clumsiness, knocking down the equipment around him.
(Me: This is bad. Really bad.  If Shi On doesn't calm down, he will not be in a condition to conduct the surgery)

Kim Do Han comes in just then to scold Shi On and perform the surgery himself.  (Me: Right now, this is for the better that Kim Do Han performs the surgery.  Shi On is too nervous right now to do anything right)
Shi On wants to participate in the surgery as well, but Kim Do Han shouts at him to get out.

Shi On has no choice but to observe the surgery from upstairs.  (Me: I noticed that their surgeries are not shown in as much details as in 'Doctor Stranger')

Shi On tries to give his opinion concerning the surgery but Kim Do Han tells him to shut up.
During the surgery, the other doctor admit that if they hadn't done the surgery it would have been too late for the patient.  Still the surgery goes wrong as there is internal bleeding.  Kim Do Han doesn't understand the cause of the bleeding but Shi On has already detected the cause which is the drugs administered to the child that cause hemorrhage (Me: Lol I think Shi On would excel as a medical consultant instead of a medical practitioner)
Effectively thanks to Shi On's guidance, Kim Do Han find the source of the problem rapidly and completes the surgery successfully.

However, after the surgery, Kim Do Han punches Shi On angrily.  Yoon Seo rushes to protect Shi On from being beaten again by Kim Do Han.  Kim Do Han scolds Shi On for his irresponsible act which could have cost the lives of both children undergoing surgery.

(Me: Seriously in all three medical dramas that I've seen, there seems to be a scarcity of competent doctors.  There's always this issue of having only one doctor capable enough to head the surgery, or else the patient is doomed.)

Yoon Seo dresses Shi On's wound and tells him what he has done wrong and why he should apologize.  According to Yoon Seo, Shi On should have waited for the chief doctor before initiating the operation on Seung Ho because another doctor would not know the complete medical condition of a patient who was not assigned to him.  Secondly Shi On's inability to focus for the surgery proved to be a big failure for a doctor.

Kim Do Han scolds Yoon Seo for being more concerned about Shi On than the patients.
Still Yoon Seo decides to comfort Shi On and even proposes to cook dinner for him.  But before cooking Yoon Seo clears out the kitchen counter and accidentally throws away Shi On's toy scalpel that his older brother had given to him.  Fortunately Shi On was able to find in by searching in the thrash bin but he is still mad with Yoon Seo and does not want to speak to her.

The next day Shi On accompanies a colleague to the babies ward and comes across a doctor who was telling a couple that their newborn baby did not have much time to live and even surgery would not be able to save it.

Later the same doctor charges angrily at Kim Do Han for taking away his patient.  But Kim Do Han does not understand what he is talking about.
(Me: I wonder if Shi On said something to the baby's parents...)
The episode ends like that.
