Dr. Kang Mo Yeon's Medical Dilemma With President Mubarat

Once again, thanks to Drama Beans for these wonderful screenshots...

As I was watching Descendants of the Sun -- one particular scene caught me and that's the scene where there's a crisis. President Mubarat of Saudi Arabia may just be operated alone by an Arabian doctor or a VIP doctor. Dr. Kang Mo Yeon herself finds out that if she doesn't intervene -- the president will die and this results to an intense scene.

One of the biggest trials is what to do. President Mubarat's bodyguard says that only a VIP doctor can do the operation. However, President Mubarat has intestinal distension. Mo Yeon discovers that if she doesn't do anything at all then he will die. The doctor would be there in an hour but if they don't do anything in twenty minutes -- something worse could happen. This results in a pointed gun incident and Mo Yeon does whatever she can to save President Mubarat's life. The doctor arrives and they have a heated discussion.

This is a moral dilemma. There's a dying man there and she's the only one (at that moment) who can operate on him. She takes the risk that she could be killed in this conflict. There's guns pointed at her. She performs the operation in order to help stabilize President Mubarak. She does what she can and it's not very pleasing. She gets some stress after all the fear. 

But it was worth it in the end. She won the favor of President Mubarat.
