For those of you who missed the last episode of Yong-Pal (The
Gang Doctor), here's the episode recap. The poison used to cause
the liver cancer turns out to be Ethionine.

Visitor Shuerei commented :
YJ’s surgery was far more complex than a fracture and wound.
Sticking a pen or reconnecting a vein ain’t gonna help much. The
risky surgery required more than a 3rd year resident’s experience,
expertise and resources. TH may have done lots of back-alley fixing
but he was still an “intern”. And he did insist to be the surgeon,
however, the skill set required at least three doctors.
– if he had been able to perform the miraculous liver
transplant surgery, he could have done it on his sister. Instead,
he had to consult Hanshin docs and rely upon the US (presumedly
John Hopkins hospital) expertise. The conference was to get a 3rd
doctor for the team which yielded no one. So it was timely for
Stephanie to bring back a new YongPal, the 3rd doc who was not
afraid of taking risks unlike the Hanshin docs
– and it’s certainly more exciting to have a group of
Yongpalyi surgeons, especially that Chief Lee was a Yongpalyi
himself – performed a risky fatal injury in the past and wrongly
charged for malpractice and of course, the historic Whipple
operation on YJ.
