What you need (1)
“Wendy was on her way home from class. I was at home and asked her to buy something for me because I needed it. But Wendy was robbed near the supermarket. Crazy guys showed up and took Wendy…”
Jace He clutched his head with a painful expression.
“It’s all because of me. Wendy wouldn’t have died if I hadn’t made her run the errand.”
“You don’t have to feel guilty. It’s not Jace’s fault.”
“What do you know! What do you know about me or Wendy?”
A loud cry shook the hospital room.
Ki-Seok Choi calmly watched Jace without answering.
I didn’t hate him for suddenly getting angry. Rather, it was heartbreaking to hear his pain so vividly.
A father who blames himself for his daughter’s death.
It was hard to even imagine the difficult days he spent drinking.
“The robbers hacked Wendy and ran away. They stabbed her dozens of times with a knife. When I saw her at the hospital… ah…” “
Jace. That’s enough. Don’t say more.”
As Choi Ki-seok patted his shoulder, Jace finally burst into tears.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to vent to Dr. Choi.”
“There is no need to apologize. A doctor is not someone who simply treats diseases. He is someone who helps patients become healthy both physically and mentally. It’s okay to be angry as many times as it takes to make Jace feel at ease.”
Choi Ki-seok used encouragement at the end of his speech.
[You have used the encouragement skill.]
[The patient’s confidence in immune regeneration increases significantly.]
“Thank you. I think I feel better now.”
“I’m glad that happened. It’s probably better to do the inspection after you calm down.”
“yes.”
“And there is one more thing I would like to suggest.”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“I want Jace to receive neuropsychiatric treatment. After talking with him, it doesn’t seem like treating his damaged liver will solve everything.”
“….”
“I need to get my feelings about your daughter clear.”
“I understand. I will follow Dr. Choi’s wishes.”
“When the test is over, I will request collaboration with a neuropsychiatrist.”
Choi Ki-seok stabilized Jace and left the hospital room.
My heart felt heavy.

Office of the Head Chief of General Surgery.
Smith and Jonathan were sitting on the sofa in front of the desk.
The two people comfortably faced each other with their legs crossed.
They are classmates in medical school and close friends who grew up at Meijo.
“How was the surgery today?”
Smith asked after taking a sip of his coffee.
“It wasn’t just a day or two of colon cancer surgery, it was completed without any problems.”
“Were the surgical assistants Ethan and Mr. Choi?”
“that’s right.”
“Did Mr. Choi do well?”
“Honestly… it’s amazing. It was like seeing Paul before. Just looking at the way he was assisting, no one would have guessed he was a new resident.”
Jonathan specifically told the story about Choi Ki-seok.
Smith nodded as if satisfied.
“Are you interested in Mr. Choi?”
“Isn’t it strange if he doesn’t have one? Mr. Choi is the best interviewer and his skills are outstanding. He doesn’t seem to have a bad personality either. I think he will be a great person if he majors in general surgery.”
“Well…”
Jonathan continued, rubbing his chin.
“It looks like Song, the head chief of the thoracic surgery department, won’t stay still. I heard he was the one who brought Mr. Choi over from Korea.”
“We’ll have to wait and see. Just because there’s a goalkeeper doesn’t mean goals won’t be scored. Mr. What are your thoughts on conciliation?”
“I don’t really like it.”
“The reason is?”
“I feel reluctant because it feels like I’m watching Paul. I’ve never seen someone who gets off to a good start but goes well until the end.”
Smith smiled softly at Jonathan’s answer.
“Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”
“You still don’t know the difference between Paul and Mr. Choi.”
“difference?”
“Paul is the type that only cares about himself, but Mr. Choi is the type that thinks about the patients. The starting line is different.”
Smith stood up, took out a folder, and handed it to Jonathan.
“This is the evaluation form submitted by Ethan, a teaching resident. Please read it.”
“Sure.”
Jonathan scanned the report.
A dispute with a gastroenterologist over a patient with intestinal obstruction.
Walking around the hospital room and communicating with patients.
Completed various treatments and scrubs neatly, etc.
Ki-Seok Choi is an all-round resident with both personality and skills.
“how is it?”
“There are a lot of better aspects than I thought. But it’s too early to jump to conclusions. Keep in mind that less than a week has passed since you started working. People tend to change.”
“Tsk, tsk. That’s why you’re under me.”
“Are you showing off again? All the Mayjo doctors know that Smith is showing off, so why don’t you stop?”
The two people exchanged a few words and then laughed.
“By the way, didn’t you scold Ethan a while ago?”
Jonathan changed the topic.
“I made a mistake during surgery and was scolded harshly.”
“Can’t you stop doing that? Because of what happened to you, Ethan couldn’t show off his skills at Rosette. What’s worse is that I promoted Mr. Choi to first assistant.”
Despite Jonathan’s complaints, Smith didn’t even bat an eye.
“Are you listening to me?”
“Am. I’m listening.”
“What I’m saying is don’t listen half-heartedly, but listen properly. You should also think about the people below you.”
Jonathan had been dissatisfied with Smith for a long time.
That is the way to discipline the staff below you.
Smith lashed out at staff members when they made mistakes or mistakes.
It’s so bad that I want to quit my job as a doctor.
In fact, there have been more than ten sergeants who have quit their training because of harsh words.
“If you can’t stand my tongue, you should quit being a doctor. Life is heavier than your tongue. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s what you think. Have you ever thought about the situation you’re in?”
“Of course I’ve never tried it.”
“Haa…”
Jonathan put his hand on his head in response to Smith’s shameless reply.
“What about the other residents besides Mr. Choi?”
“It’s not bad. They say Jennifer has decent skills and a bright personality. As for Morgan, she can’t be compared to Mr. Choi, but she says she has the best skills among the new residents.”
“Have you heard any news from residents in other departments?”
“I’m not interested in people who haven’t even come to our department yet.”
Smith paused before continuing.
“I will be away for two days starting tomorrow. I have reported it, so if anything happens, you take care of it.”
“Where else do you plan on going?”
“korea.”
Smith grinned, showing his teeth.

K Rosette observation room.
Choi Ki-seok was watching the surgery alone.
To be precise, a video of the surgery is being filmed using the dragon’s eye.
“It’s finally over.”
After confirming that the surgery was over, I got up and stretched.
After finishing my morning shift, I went around the rosette and started collecting videos. As a result, pancreatic cancer surgery, anal surgery, and laparoscopic colon cancer surgery were added.
Choi Ki-seok visited the ward with a relieved heart.
I wanted to check on patients before training in the dormitory.
“Mr. Choi.”
As I was checking on the patients, Emma waved at me from across the hallway.
“Emma is on duty today, right?”
“That’s right… rock. Collock.”
Emma coughed while answering.
“Have you caught a cold?”
“I feel like I have some body aches, but it’s nothing to worry about.”
“Hmm…
Choi Ki-seok used the Eye of Hippocrates on Emma.
She was right.
She doesn’t have the flu yet.
“I sleep well while I’m on duty. Otherwise, I might get really sick.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
Emma grinned.
“Are you okay with the time?”
“Oh. “I don’t have anything special to do.”
“Then, could you come to the duty room for a moment? I’m practicing suturing and I have a question…”
Choi Ki-seok laughed at the thought that this was indeed an Emma-like request.
“Then let’s go to the duty room first. I’ll go check on the patients too.”
“Thank you, Mr. Choi.”
Ki-seok Choi went around all the rooms and found the duty room.
“I practiced suturing my left hand after getting advice the other day, but it’s not as good as I thought.”
“Do you want to try it?”
“Yes. ”
Emma held the needle holder in her left hand and started suturing. Choi Ki-seok watched her suturing closely from the side.
“Isn’t it strange?”
Emma asked with a downcast look.
“No. “You’re really good at it, right?”
“I want to be pointed out, not comforted. “Tell me honestly.”
“I’m telling the truth, Emma. Excellent.”
Choi Ki-seok gave a thumbs up.
Considering that she had just started practicing, the skills she showed now are amazing. Even though she was clumsy and slow, she completed the simple interrupted suture perfectly. “No matter how much you think about it, it’s not true
. I think so…”
“There’s a reason why Emma thinks that way.”
“Why?”
“Emma, tell me honestly. “Didn’t you subconsciously compare me and Emma while practicing your left hand?”
“….
” “So, everything you practice is unreliable and not very effective. For a beginner, I’m doing really well. So you don’t have to think it’s strange.”
“Now that I think about it, I think Mr. Choi is right.”
Emma nodded.
“Mr. Choi, how long did it take to stitch it up like it is now?”
“Roughly speaking, it was over a year.”
” Then I have to finish it in 11 months.”
Emma stuck her tongue out playfully.
“Let me ask you one more thing. Are there any tricks to practicing your left hand?”
“There are tricks… but I don’t want to teach them.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid Emma will grow up faster than me.”
“Mr. Choi is bad.”
“It’s just a joke. I’ll let you know. Just stay still.”
Choi Ki-seok stood behind Emma’s back, placed his hands together with hers, and taught her how to hold surgical tools and how to use her wrists and hands. There was a limit to how she could
explain it in words.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I think I can practice better.”
“Well. Emma learned it well.”
There was a moment of silence, and Emma’s face grew redder. I had completely forgotten that I was in close contact with Choi Ki-seok when I was learning suturing. But
now it was different.
Choi Ki-seok’s breath made my ears tickle.
Still. I felt a warm body temperature in the hands that touched each other.
It was a strange feeling of excitement that I had never felt in my life.
“Um… Um… Mr. Choi?”
“Why?”
“I’m done with practice now…”
Emma said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito . He said,
“Ah. sorry. I forgot.”
Choi Ki-seok let go of his folded hands and distanced himself from her.
Grumble.
The awkward atmosphere was broken as the door opened.
“What are you two doing here?”
The gastrointestinal surgery fellow looked at the two and tilted his head.
” Are we already like that?”
“Ah… no! Don’t be weird!”
“Even if you answer with a red face, I don’t trust you as much as your fingernails.”
“Don’t misunderstand. We were practicing suturing.”
The Fellow chuckled, observing their reactions.
“Emma. “I’m not feeling well, so can I ask you to organize the data? It’s urgent.”
“What data is it?”
“I’m going to present it at the academic conference this week…”
While the two were talking, Ki-Seok Choi gave the fellow the eyes of Hippocrates. It was used.
Although there was no diagnosis, the fellow was feeling severe back pain.
It was not a lie to say that it hurt.
‘No way!’
Choi Ki-seok was shaking while checking the fellow’s condition.
[Dark Seal: Increases resistance to medical errors by the surgeon and staff when the patient dies.]
That’s right.
The Fellow was the owner of the Dark Seal. He
needed to be recognized by Smith. These are the necessary material items.
“Hey, teacher!”
Ki-Seok Choi caught the fellow leaving after finishing the conversation.
