Drama review of Good Doctor Ep 3

The 3rd episode resumes where the chief doctor from another department accuses the Pediatric Department from taking his patient.  Park Shi On admits that he is the one who told the baby's parents that their child can be saved by the pediatric department's Dr Kim Do Han.

Yoon Seo asks Shi On why he thinks that they can save the premature baby.  Shi On gets scolded by Yoon Seo for causing trouble after Shi On replied that if the other department cannot perform the operation, then the Pediatric department can perform it.

The baby's parents come looking for Kim Do Han but the latter tells them that he believes that his judgement will not vary from the other doctor's judgement concerning the condition of the premature baby.  The baby's parents are devastated as their last hope is destroyed by Kim Do Han's words.

Yoon Seo notices that Shi On who has been staring at the premature baby for quite a while.  The other doctors tell him not to stir trouble again and to leave the baby's ward.

Parents also complain to the reception to reassign their kids to other doctors rather than Park Shi On.
Shi On feels depressed after hearing the parents complaining that he is not normal.

Seeing Shi On brooding all alone, the Director comes to console him.  However, Shi On tells him that everybody seems to hate him again but he is not sad because it has always been the case.  Later Shi On tears up while thinking back to his older brother again who was always there to play with him and encourage him when he was feeling down.  (Me: In fact, since episode 1 we have been seeing Shi On's brother during the flashbacks to his childhood.  I think Shi On's brother has an important role in shaping his will to be a good doctor)

On the other hand, Kim Do Han has gone for a drink with the Director and in his drunk condition he tells the Director not to give up his position and that he will do his utmost so that he doesn't lose his position.

Yoon Seo meets up with the Director and Kim Do Han who is completely drunk.  She takes the responsibility to take Kim Do Han back home.  After dragging Kim Do Han to his bed, Yoon Seo thinks back to the time when she nearly confessed that she likes him.  (Me: I wonder if she still likes him...??  I think Kim Do Han is starting to like her though... ^^)

Yoon Seo scolds Shi On for wanting to save the premature baby again and tells him that he is only acting like a robot without really caring for the patient.  Shi On replies back that he does have feelings for the patient, in fact he believes that the baby really wants to live.

The other doctors try to trick Kim Do Han to perform the surgery on the premature baby because they know that there are high chances that the surgery fails.  They create a false rumor that Kim Do Han refused to do the surgery because he does not have any confidence that he will succeed.  With his arrogance, Kim Do Han does not take it well and decides to examine the premature baby's condition.  Finally, Kim Do Han's pride cannot take it anymore and he decides to take charge of the premature baby as his patient.

Consequently, Kim Do Han gathers his team to prepare for the surgery.  However, he still remains realist and warns them that the success rate of this surgery is less than 20% (Me: Oh my gosh...this is critical...)
Shi On detects something strange on the sonography image of the baby's abdomen and points it out to his colleagues but the latter don't take him seriously and think that he is mistaken.

Kim Do Han still chooses to carry out the surgery despite the penalty placed on him of 3 months suspension and pay cut.

Kim Do Han's team get ready for the tiny baby's surgery.  However, the anesthesiologist and scrub team refuse to cooperate because it is a highly risky operation and they have not received approval from their head of department.  Fortunately, the Director comes in and convince the anesthesiologist and nurses to cooperate.

They proceed with the surgery very smoothly and are almost finished but Shi On interrupts them saying that he saw something in the liver area.  Yoon Seo doubts Shi On and wants to complete the surgery rapidly because the baby cannot hold on in this condition for too long.  However, Kim Do Han tells her to wait and checks the liver area.  Effectively, there is an issue with the baby's liver.  Yoon Seo immediately thinks about performing a certain surgical method to save the baby but Shi On tells her that they cannot perform this type of surgery.  Kim Do Han even agrees with Shi On on this point.  Yoon Seo then asks Kim Do Han if he has another alternative.  Kim Do Han merely reply that he has no other alternative.
The episode ends with this cliffhanger...
(Me: Will they be able to save the baby? Can Shi On come up with an alternative to save the baby?)
