Actress Kim Ji-won delivered a sharp remark to medical staff engaged in a heated argument over a patient's death.

In Episode 3 of SBS' Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia," which aired on the 16th, Gye Su-jung (played by Kim Ji-won) was shown interjecting into a conversation among medical staff surrounding the death of emergency responder Seo Jin-young at Gu Seodaehospital.

On this day, Park Tae-kyung (played by Kim Woo-seok) and Ma Sung-gyu (played by Kwon Seung-woo) engaged in a dispute over Seo Jin-young's past death incident. At the time, Seo Jin-young collapsed due to a cerebral aneurysm but ultimately died after being transferred to another hospital in a situation where medical staff capable of performing the surgery were absent.

Intern Park pressed, "Does saying that the possibility was low mean that no matter what was done, that outcome was simply that person's fate? Isn't that something a doctor shouldn't say?"

In response, Mr. Ma stated, "Doctors are human too. There are limits," while mentioning the risk burden associated with high-difficulty surgeries and the possibility of medical malpractice lawsuits.

He then countered, "Who is responsible for patient death or lifelong disability? If you're going to nitpick what a doctor can and cannot say, you should learn craniotomy first. Do it yourself. I will learn something with less risk burden, lower labor costs, and higher earnings, and do my best within my capabilities."

At this moment, Gye Su-jung appeared and retorted, "Only one-third of cerebral aneurysm patients survive without immediate death to reach the hospital. And he was an incredibly lucky patient who made it to the hospital. Aren't you considering that possibility?"

She then shot back at Mr. Ma, "If you're going to do things within your capabilities, it seems like you'll face several lawsuits even for procedures, so you should probably learn quickly."
