"I'm going to save your daughter now. You made your daughter more dangerous for the time she was delayed. Got it?"
This is a scene that made viewers nervous during the fourth episode of the Netflix series 'Severe Trauma Center' released on January 24.
Baek Kang-hyuk (Joo Ji-hoon), a genius surgeon who answered the phone during the budget meeting at Hankook University Hospital, goes to save Han Ji-young (Park Jung-yoon), the only daughter of Han Yu-rim (Yoon Kyung-ho), the head of the anal surgery department, who is an emergency patient.
Although dramatic elements were added, Baek Kang-hyuk, who entered the operating room, managed to continue the surgery by putting surgical gloves on the surgical site of the patient whose heart was ruptured in a car accident as a temporary measure to prevent bleeding. Did the actor directly act on all the actual surgical scenes.
In fact, there was a separate main character of Baek Kang-hyuk 'Hand' during the surgery scene. I met and listened to nurse Yang Won-joon, a cardiovascular thoracic surgeon at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, who played an active role with the hands of the main character Baek Kang-hyuk in various surgical scenes such as heart rupture surgery, organ transplant surgery, and aortic surgery.

-In the Netflix series 'Severe Trauma Center', he uniquely participated as a surgical scene hand band, and since it is a medical-related content, the casting competition rate seems to have been tough.
▶ This is thanks to Professor Kim Tae-yoon (head of the advisory group) of the intensive care surgery department at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, who I have known before, who informed me of a good opportunity. The production team wanted a stand-in who had similar hands to the main actor but had surgery-related skills, but Professor Kim contacted me just in time. I also auditioned, and the judges said it was okay after seeing the size and shape of my hands, so I participated in the surgical scene as a handstand in the `Severe Trauma Center.'
-It is a surgical scene hand in the drama, but it seems that the teacher's hand is for many patients in the actual medical field. What role is the teacher's 'hand', who works as an in vitro circulator in cardiovascular thoracic surgery at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital?
▶In situations where the heart has to stop during surgery, such as the heart and aorta, an artificial heart lung is operated to replace the function of the heart and lungs. It also performs tasks related to ECMO (artificial cardiopulmonary device), and initial setting and equipment management of ECMO in emergency situations such as ECPR (extra-vivo circulation CPR).
-Professor Kim Tae-yoon of intensive care surgery at Seoul National University Hospital and professors from Ewha Medical Center served as advisory groups. How did the professors help you shoot?
▶When Professor Kim was at the filming site, the production team and opinions were well coordinated. The production team often asked if exaggerated or unrealistic parts were possible for dramatic production of the drama. It was difficult to judge on the day I consulted and acted alone, but these parts were clearly decided on the day Professor Kim was present. I felt comfortable because I had many opportunities to ask Professor Kim separately.
- Was there a scene that you thought was important to yourself or that the production team emphasized and paid particular attention to?
▶He put his heart and soul into the scene of heart rupture surgery or aortic surgery. I tried not to make mistakes, maybe because it was an area I've been working on. I paid special attention to the production team to give advice on lines and directing. In order not to miss a single detail, he also made props on the set.
-I think people around you contacted me after seeing the teacher's name in the ending credit, what was the response?
▶I didn't tell much about it, so I only knew about two or three of my close friends and colleagues. Nevertheless, even before I watched the drama, there were a few teachers who took pictures of the ending credits with my name and sent them to me, and I was surprised that they were faster than my family. They were amazed and wondered what it was like to see the actors in person.
I am curious about what I felt through participation in -'severe trauma center', and my future goals as a faculty member of Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital.
▶The drama features a nurse who performs excellently across the operating room and the intensive care unit. Of course, the drama is different from the reality, but I want to become a reliable nurse to my colleagues and patients with deep knowledge and abilities from all over the world like 'Cheon Rose'. I will learn more and grow from numerous teachers who already exist in Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital.
- How do you feel about participating in the drama or what do you want to say to those who have been helped?
▶Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Professor Kim for providing valuable experiences and opportunities, Dr. Choi Ha-young in the operating room, and Dr. Lim So-jung for helping me personally. It was an honor to participate in the drama. In fact, I've enjoyed it since the webtoon 'Severe Trauma Center' came out. As I started my first career as a medical professional in cardiovascular thoracic surgery, I encountered many experiences and many difficulties. Each time, such a work became a manatee of its own. I was sorry that I could not be with you at the last afterparty, but I would like to thank Kwon Young-joo and Hyun Jung-eun and other production staff for helping me with both sides of the mind at the filming site.
