You are right, but I just wish that directors hire a real world physician for some hours as a consultant for disease related story. Some times eve a med students can solve some mistakes. :)) there were very good examples in that case, like "angels fall sometimes" or "Amanza" which I really enjoyed their accuracy.

Actually I really don't want to discuss medically here, but as you mentioned it, I think it is not that bad. Amyloidosis considers as complicated disease with involving multiple organ, specifically heart which requires a different staging system than other types of Amyloidosis, although according to the Uptodate, the median survival rate for more sever cases which involved cardiac more severely (there was staging, and when the patients requires Pace it means that the HF is not in best hand or the EF is not suitable) is around 4 to 6 month, although in more local type it is around 5 years, cure NO. Although the main trails most of the time maneuver on HCT for prolonging the OS not just chemotherapy regime or malphalan dose which is one of the medications prescribed in Amyloidosis. For HF there is different story which in more severe cases, Heart transplant is require. Although the success rate of the trails is variable. The problem is here is mentioning these kinds of disease and showing cure (without complication or the real portrait of the disease, not just in drama) It was better to NOT MENTION NAME OF THE DISEASE dou to the impacts on patients. Sorry for long message.
I love the journey, but it was the sample that an ending can destroy the memorable journey. I wish they show the realistic ending. And plz when you name an exact disease, be aware to not make false hope and misleading for the real patients. :(
The scenes between Seok-ju and Tae-rin were the highlight for me and for once they were more than 3-4 minutes.👏👏I…
I completely agree with you, contrary to previous episodes, today's episode was like independent pieces glued to each other. He wanted to hangout with his sister and told her then he went to trip with gf, the one who told to his sister when he want to spend time in hospital. Then he was on trip and tomorrow made breakfast for his sister ! I feel that they cut parts of the series and display them. I hope not unrealistic ending just for high rating.
That's it. I know that this is not the place for medical discussion, but as you mentioned it about increasing the survival time, I just want to tell that in the field of chronic disease, specifically some disease like malignancies, actually we don't have anything we called it as cure. We consider the overall survival time, for example the 1 year (for short term time, showing the surgery complication related death) or even month for hospital complication related death, 2 years, 5 years as cut off. And epidemiologically, in field of oncology, 5 years considered as cure. It is actually a same thing, prolongation of the survival is not completely different honestly. Although, you are right about it and I can understand that they don't consider medical details in drama 🤣
I am probably sure that it is not happened. It is media to make ppl believe that there are lots of devilish, secret laboratory. Maybe there was but they are secret not public. Ethical approval for clinical trials are very strict and doctors are human not devil. We pass very strong barrier for stablish the simplest trials.
Of course clinical trials exist, but for who ? In what cost ? With what kinds of eligibility criteria ? Most important what is the success rate ? It is not feasible things for most patients in real world. Besides, if in the show they didn't mention the name of the disease, I was okay, but for real world disease false information cause false hope and misleading. I have lots of examples in the media which make problems for healthcare professionals.
