being a doctor

Yesterday, my mom's friend lend me a dvd series of a Korean movie titled "New Heart" about doctors (cardio & internists). I wasn't that eager to watch at first, but I don't know, maybe I was curious, so I watched it. After a few episodes, I became addicted to the movie and wasn't able to stop watching (except when my mom was angry because I was watching when the whole family was eating dinner together). So I had to stop for probably half an hour, then continued to watch the dvd.
 
However, I had to miss 2 episodes of Friends because my sister didn't plug in the kabelvision decoder (it has to be plugged in the electric socket at the back of the tv and it was hard to do it by myself). Then I had to miss one episode of Ugly Betty (there's a replay so I don't have to worry, but I don't know when T.T). After a while, I thought, why not try to plug in the decoder by myself even though it's kind of hard and I'll be in sweat at around 10pm. Okay, so I tried to move the tv slowly without pulling the dvd player's cable but arrghh maybe I pulled the tv too much, that the dvd player turned off. I was soo pissed.
 
But then, came the "happy" part, I was able to switch between kabelvision and dvd player and I was able to watch Las Vegas (Josh Duhamel showed up when I switched to kabelvision and I was very very happy) hahaha. Afterwards, I continued to watch the movie.
 
Okay, I wasn't that interested at the male intern (Li En Chen --> role name) but after a couple of times (actually many times) of watching him, he does seem cute (a little bit). And the actor who had to be taken care of at the hospital (role name Li Dong Quan if I'm not mistaken) was kind of cute, but he wasn't at first (hahaha).
 
Oh my gosh, the operations was cool! They showed a few "live surgeries", but some, they just showed when they cut the body. That was my first time watching a "live surgery" in movies because I never saw a real one. It was so cool! I mean the heart was beating, the doctors had to "operate" on it, and one time a doctor had to stitch a heart when it was beating (it was very hard compared when it isn't beating). In some cases, they had to massage the heart to make it beat again. For those interested into surgery, you have to watch this. I'm actually trying to find a movie, the entire movie with surgeries. Any suggestions? I prefer not a serial movie because I rather sit back and enjoy one full movie rather than getting up again and again to change the disc.
 
I did learn new medical vocabularies. One I remember the most is "Arteriovenous fistula". The patient suffers pain on his back (according to the movie). It was kind of bizarre in the movie. I'm guessing it involves artery & vena. For fistula, I have no guesses.
 
Another one, demerol, is a pain killer, but isn't recommended to the patient suffering Arteriovenous fistula. Instead, they only allow simple pain killer they didn't mention the name.
