Team Saber, the second (3)
“Why vitamins?”
“It gives you something to rely on psychologically. Otherwise, you’ll feel anxious again.”
“As expected, a senior.”
Youngho Lee nodded and continued speaking.
“Isn’t mourning rotten these days?”
“You’re a human now. I taught you in Spartan style, so they listened. By the way, what about you?”
“What?”
“Thoracic surgeon Fixton. Have you thought about it?”
“I’m still thinking about it.”
Youngho Lee hesitated.
“I’m sorry for seeming like I’m urging you on. You know very well that there aren’t enough people in the thoracic surgery department. I think it would be good to have someone as reliable as you to take care of the problem at a time like this.”
“Senior. Let’s say I’m going to have a fixer-upper next month.”
“….”
“Can you teach me difficult treatments or techniques?”
Choi Ki-seok remained silent in response to Lee Young-ho’s question.
I realized this through the conversation we had last time and today. What does Youngho Lee really want?
His goal was no different from Choi Ki-seok.
I want to become a skilled surgeon.
That’s why they want to learn at least one more treatment or skill while handling the miscellaneous tasks of an intern. The idea of deciding on a fixton after completing all surgical courses is along the same lines.
Because he is looking for a course that can teach him more and better.
“I don’t know.”
Choi Ki-seok placed his hand on Lee Young-ho’s shoulder and continued speaking.
“I’m not confident that I can teach you well, but I am confident that I can teach you extremely well?”
“…senior?”
“I’ll tell you everything I know and the ways I’ve improved my skills. Is that okay?”
“Thank you. I will do it. Thoracic surgeon Fixton!”
Youngho Lee shouted loudly.
“You know if I run out later because I’m having a hard time, right?”
“Don’t worry. That will never happen.”
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
But it is that moment.
Tiring!
[You have formed a priestly relationship with Young-ho Lee.]
[Your rapport with Young-ho Lee has increased to level 4.]
[The secret of growth with a special buff is applied to Young-ho Lee who has formed a relationship with you as a priest.]
– Secret Art of Growth: Learned from the player. In this case, growth power becomes 1.5 times faster. The buff disappears when the priest relationship ends, and the buff lasts as long as the relationship is maintained.
[You have completed the first disciple of the hidden mission. We will give you 1000 P.P.
and 30 reinforcement stones.]
Choi Ki-seok checked the status window and laughed.
He himself is lacking in learning, but he has a disciple…
However, the fact that Lee Young-ho received a buff is encouraging.
If Lee Young-ho performs a fix turn in the thoracic surgery department while receiving this buff, his skills will increase vertically. Like me now, I may be able to do things that my contemporaries can’t.
“Senior. Then, since when have you been teaching me?”
“You’re in a hurry. I have to go to the thoracic surgeon first. Is there a week left in this month?”
“Exactly five days.”
“Time flies. I’m already halfway through my 100 days on duty.”
Choi Ki-seok continued speaking slowly.
“I have some free time these days, so can you teach me a little earlier?”
“no.”
“Aren’t you being too firm?”
“There is a reason for everything. When people rush into work too enthusiastically, they quickly get tired. That’s called burnout syndrome. If you want to work for a long time, don’t burn your body.”
“But how are you holding up?”
Youngho Lee blinked and asked again.
“Senior reads papers every day, goes to home practice, sees patients, and does scrubs. From what I see, he seems to be the closest to burnout syndrome…” “I’m different from
ordinary people.”
“Maybe an alien? A superpower?”
“Maybe?”
Choi Ki-seok exchanged jokes with Lee Young-ho and returned to the duty room.
Establishing a priestly relationship with Lee Young-ho and the fact that he decided to pursue thoracic surgery at Fixton is a great achievement.
Because for the first time, I have someone of my own who can help me.
Later, I wanted to gather these people and form a team like Jang Hyuk-pil.
Choi Ki-seok took out Ssamzie and a teddy bear and began suturing them.
The skill gained through this training is high-speed precision.
That means this practice is related to speed. So these days, I’m focusing on speed rather than accuracy.
click!
The sound of scissors was cheerful.
[Broken Stuffed Toy (50/150)]
A third of the mission has been accomplished with new insight.
At my current pace, I thought I would complete the mission by the middle of next month.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
While I was practicing with crazy hands, I heard a knocking sound.
When I asked them to come in, an unexpected person appeared.
“You’re not disturbing me, are you?”
“of course.”
Ki-Seok Choi placed a portable chair across from him.
“I observed the Saber team’s surgery during the day. They did a great job. Congratulations.”
“I haven’t done much.”
“Don’t be too humble. You did really well, too.”
Jihye Yoon smiled brightly and continued.
“Except for when the donor heart stopped, the entire surgical process was smooth. Above all, the surgery time was extremely short. I think it could be listed as Guinness World Records.”
“Thank you for the compliment, but it’s not to that extent, right? Professor Song completed the heart transplant in 1 hour and 50 minutes without forming a team.”
“really?”
“Yes. I heard you set a record at Meijo Hospital not long ago.”
Choi Ki-seok recalled a phone call he had with Song Myeong-jin not long ago.
The teacher’s performing skills are truly amazing.
I thought I had grown quite a bit, but compared to my teacher, I still have a long way to go.
“It would have been great if Professor Song had stayed at our hospital…”
“I always think that way too. Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“huh.”
Choi Ki-seok brewed mixed coffee and handed it to Yoon Ji-hye.
“What will you do if I ask Professor Yoon a favor?”
“Then I’ll buy you something delicious…”
Yoon Ji-hye stopped talking and opened her eyes wide. Actually, I came here because I had something to ask of Choi Ki-seok. However, Choi Ki-seok noticed that even though he had not said anything yet.
“How did you know I had a favor to ask?”
“It’s perfect if you pretend. What you’re asking me to do is a paper for the lung cancer symposium, right?”
“…that’s right.”
Jihye Yoon nodded slightly.
“Personally, I have a paper to present overseas, and the paper is due next month. It has become difficult because this symposium overlaps with that. I’m sorry. You must be busy with the Saber team. But I don’t have anyone else to ask for except you.”
Jihye Yoon spoke at length as if making excuses.
“I’m not saying you have to do it. If you’re too busy, you can say no.”
Tiring!
[The general mission ‘Collect Paper Data’ has been created. If the mission is successful, a reward will be given.]
A notification flashed through my head.
“I will do the research. I have room for that.”
“really?”
“Yes. Can I research it by this week and hand it over to you?”
“Yes. Thank you!”
Yoon Ji-hye held Choi Ki-seok’s hand and shook her body.
Choi Ki-seok burst into laughter at her spirit, as if she were dancing.
Don’t other professors forcefully order residents to research data?
Yoon Ji-hye’s attitude, which was completely opposite to his, was refreshing.
The two people drank coffee and talked about the nature of the paper and the data needed.
“Whoa…”
After Ji-hye Yoon left, Ki-seok Choi lay on the bed in the duty room and stared at the ceiling.
After talking, my whole body felt tired.
During his brief free time, he looked at the surgery video he had saved using the dragon’s eye.
The number of videos I have filmed since my internship until now is about 50.
In the case of overlapping surgeries, a video of the surgeon’s excellent skills was left behind.
‘Is there about 10 things I can do on my own?’
Ki-seok Choi looked at the video and muttered. I look forward to the day when I will become a surgeon.
* * *
The next morning.
Choi Ki-seok was staring intently at his laptop monitor.
I have already read the paper Myungjin Song sent me. However, I am currently researching data separately because of a request I received from Jihye Yoon yesterday.
The topic of Jihye Yoon’s presentation was lung cancer surgery using a robot.
Choi Ki-seok selected those related to robotic surgery among the papers received from Song Myeong-jin and collected the necessary data.
“Hmm…”
I scratched the back of my head while I was working.
There was a lot of data on heart surgery and lung surgery, but little data on robotic surgery.
This is because Song Myung-jin rarely performs robotic surgery.
As the material was sent by Song Myeong-jin, it was inevitable that his tendencies would be revealed.
Ki-Seok Choi finished the first task and looked through the files.
The quality of information was excellent and readability was good.
[The paper was the easiest]
– If you study consistently and hard, there is a moment when your eyes open. From then on, everything becomes easy.
– Paper comprehension increases significantly.
– Understand the claims and evidence of the paper and easily identify logical blind spots.
After getting the title, reading and organizing papers wasn’t that difficult. However, since it was Jihye Yoon’s first request, I wanted to pay more attention to researching the data.
Choi Ki-seok pointed out several overseas thesis sites and left the duty room. As we practiced at home in the hideout, time passed in a blink of an eye.
“Senior. Hello.”
I said hello to Minjoohyuk, whom I met in the hallway.
“Are you coming? Since we’ve already seen each other, let’s grab a cup of coffee.”
“Good.”
The two people took a seat in the lounge.
“You asked me a favor before.”
Min-hyuk Min held out a can of coffee and continued.
“Are you talking about senior Jihoon?”
“Yeah. We talked about it over a drink yesterday during the off-hours…”
“Do you have any intention of coming back?”
Choi Ki-seok asked, his eyes shining.
If Seo Ji-hoon joins the thoracic surgery department, the plan is complete.
Even today, you can deliver a thrilling blow to Han Min-woo.
“What do you think?”
Min-hyuk Min asked a question in return.
“Of course you said you would come. Is there anyone who wouldn’t give in to Senior Min’s persuasion?”
“answer!”
Minjoohyuk laughed and pretended to shoot a gun.
“Now Jihoon’s return is a foregone conclusion. You must have already told Professor Jang in advance about the special selection process.”
“You know everything.”
“It’s obvious.”
Minjoohyuk shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of coffee.
“Anyway, aren’t you going to tell me what your intentions are until the end?”
“I think it will be decided this afternoon. When everything is done, I will tell my senior first.”
“okay.”
Minjoohyuk nodded as if he understood.
After finishing the conversation, the two people headed to the conference room.
The morning meeting and rounds that followed ended successfully, and Choi Ki-seok immediately went into surgical scrubs.
By the time I finished scrubbing, it was 11 am.
“Mr. Lee, can you look at me for a moment?”
Choi Ki-seok called Lee Ye-rim from the station to a remote location.
“Did you take all the videos?”
“yes.”
Ye-rim Lee held out her cell phone, and Ki-seok Choi took it and looked at the CCTV video. The video contains a scene where Han Min-woo blatantly touches Lee Ye-rim.
“That’s enough. Let’s go to the manager’s office with me.”
“I… I’m so scared.”
Yerim Lee flinched.
“It feels like I’m scratching for no reason and making a rash.”
“Teacher Lee. This is absurd. The chief who sexually harassed her continues to live shamelessly, while this teacher continues to suffer. This hellish chain must be broken now.”
“….”
“I will make sure no harm comes to this teacher, so just trust me.”
“…yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Choi Ki-seok visited the manager’s office with Lee Ye-rim. However, because Lee Ye-rim was so anxious, he decided to leave her behind and watch Jo Ji-hwan alone.
smart. Knock.
“Come in.”
Perhaps it was because of his mood, but Jo Ji-hwan’s voice felt heavier than usual.
Choi Ki-seok went inside, receiving Lee Ye-rim’s fighting spirit.
The war starts now.
