The Hippocratic Crush II

The Hippocratic Crush II (a.k.a. On Call 36 Hours II) immediately follows off from The Hippocratic Crush (a.k.a. On Call 36 Hours), following the lives of doctors, new and old, facing the patients and challenges that unfold before them.

Cheung Yat Kin (Kenneth Ma) and Fan Chi Yu (Tavia Yeung) are now happily married to each other but life ahead is not easy for them. They have to face new obstacles together if they are to keep their relationship growing strong. Chi Yu finds herself pregnant but being diagnosed with intramedullary spinal cord tumour which makes her unfit to continue with the pregnancy. However, she insists on carrying on with the pregnancy and this causes certain disputes between the couple. Though this does not mean that Yat Kin loves Chi Yu any less; he just can’t bear watching her suffer so he offers to carry some of her burdens.

The challenges that he has to face with Chi Yu on top of his stubborn personality takes a toll on his relationship with newly transferred pathology specialist, Lok Man Sang (Lawrence Ng). The two are constantly at each other’s throat with differing opinions and their approach with medicine which creates further tension between the two doctors. Lokman gets involved with fellow internal medicine doctor, Heung Chin Yi (Tracy Chu), who happens to be twenty years younger than him.

Man Sang and Chin Yi have a very different view of love. Lokman is a widowed man with a young daughter (Elkie Chong) while Chin Yi is left having to take care of her runaway (later revealed as deceased) boyfriend's son. Through mutual understanding and hardships, the two grow to love each other despite their age difference.

Chi Yu’s illness causes her to eventually relent to getting an abortion, as well as making her incompetent to perform surgery on patients. This is a huge blow to her as well as Yat Kin. His mother also falls sick which added pressure on him, causing him to develop an anxiety disorder. However, with Yat Kin by her side, Chu Yu isn’t ready to give up yet; she wants to help Yat Kin to stand strong again. So she decides to switch afresh, switching from cardiology to pathology, learning under the disciplinary of Man Sang who helps her to regain her strength.

Meanwhile, Chi Yu’s sister, neurosurgeon Hong Mei Suet (Mandy Wong) also has her own challenges to face as she finally becomes a doctor in her own right. However, that is not the only challenge in her life. Her relationship with her orthopaedic surgeon boyfriend Lau Ping Chan (Benjamin Yuen) heads on the rocks as their relationship turns into a love triangle.

Fresh Cardiosurgeon, Yeung Pui Chung (Him Law) undergoes his own journey to become a better doctor. As his career picks up, he finds himself in a love triangle with training doctor Chung Tsz Ting (Crystal Li) and Che Hiu Tung (Eliza Sam), a social doctor, who suffers from a chronic illness.

Yat Kin finds it difficult to accept the new challenges in his life, however, as he watches his friends and fellow subordinates, Mei Suet and Pui Chung grow to become independent, capable and experienced doctors, he learns that he must first protect himself before he can protect others. Will he be able to do this and protect those whom he loves and cares about? What is the true meaning behind being a doctor? It is merely about saving about patients? What about the doctors themselves?[1]
