What to do (3)
After taking an air shower, Choi Ki-seok entered the isolation room where Moon Min-kyung was.
Unlike yesterday, Moon Min-kyung was awake.
“Hello Teacher.”
“Yes. Hello. How are you feeling?”
“Everything else is fine, but my heart hurts so much. Why is that?”
“You can think of it as an aftereffect of surgery. It will last for a few days.”
Choi Ki-seok added that her pain was caused by median sternotomy and the use of a retractor, and Moon Min-kyung belatedly breathed a sigh of relief.
“I thought about it after I regained consciousness. I think it was a good decision to get the surgery. Like a fool, I was tempted by a strange folk remedy.”
“There is no need to blame yourself too much. Anyone can be tempted when they are sick. Still, the patient underwent surgery at a good time.”
“I really think so. Thank you again.”
Min-kyung Moon bowed her head as a sign of gratitude.
“If the teacher hadn’t persuaded me, I probably would have wasted time receiving Killaren treatment. My condition would have gotten worse.”
“….”
“I’d like to do something in return. Is there anything you need?”
“It is enough for the patient to regain his health.”
“But I don’t think I’m just going to let it go…”
“It’s really okay. And even if you give me a sincere gift, I’ll hear you say I’m being rude to you. Then I’m a complete loser.”
“Oh my. The world is so harsh.”
Moon Min-kyung clicked her tongue and continued speaking.
“Anyway, thank you very much, teacher.”
“No. Please rest comfortably in the isolation room for the time being. Please know that you will be transferred to the cardiology ward in about four days.”
Ki-seok Choi finished his conversation with Min-kyung Moon and headed to the thoracic surgery ward.
Although this has been the case for a long time, I have no intention of receiving separate compensation for treating patients.
Because treating patients is the goal itself.
Drurr.
When I entered the dressing room, Lee Young-ho was sewing a teddy bear.
“Hello, senior.”
“Are you working hard today too?”
“You have to be diligent to improve your skills. Would you like to see what I sewed?”
Youngho Lee proudly held out the teddy bear he had just sewn, and Kiseok Choi quietly examined the doll.
My skills have definitely improved compared to a while ago.
First of all, the spacing between knots was uniform.
The sutures were neither too loose nor too tight.
It is a situation that is worthy of the expression ‘one day, one day and a month’s market.’
This may be due to the synergy created by Lee Young-ho’s efforts and the buffs he gained from becoming a priest.
“You’re good now. The paper you gave me this morning was also good.”
“really?”
“Then do you think it’s fake?”
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
Choi Ki-seok sat down, took care of the first-year resident’s chores, and held a teddy bear in his hand.
That too requires practice.
Geek.
I tightened the needle holder and looked at the status window.
[Broken Plush Toys (145/150)]
There are not many dolls left.
Ki-Seok Choi started suturing as if he had a motor in his hand.
A simple interrupted suture was placed on the doll’s left arm, a continuous suture was placed on the right arm, and a wrapper suture, which can be seen as the core treatment of Saber surgery, was placed on the abdomen.
In addition, primary suturing, depression suturing, and horizontal mattress suturing were continued in succession.
‘Wow, it’s crazy.’
While Lee Young-ho was suturing, he was fascinated when he saw Choi Ki-seok’s suturing across from him. The speed of passing the suture through the surface of the doll and tying the knot is outstanding.
If the speed is fast, the stitching may be sloppy, but Choi Ki-seok’s stitching is not much different from his.
How much time has passed?
While Lee Young-ho practiced with one doll, Choi Ki-seok sutured as many as four dolls.
click!
He put down the scissors and smiled reassuringly.
A pleasant notification passed by my ears.
[You have succeeded in the special mission ‘Learn Skill 2’. As a reward, a new skill, High-Speed Surgery, is created.]
[Special rewards are given for completing missions quickly!]
[The level of the new High-Speed Surgery doctor obtained starts from level 2.]
[High-Speed Surgery Lv.2]
– Surgery time is significantly increased. It is shortened to .
– Depending on the difficulty of the surgery, shortened surgery failure and patient prognosis vary.
High-speed surgery is optimized for time-sensitive emergency surgeries.
It is especially useful for patients who have suffered aortic dissection or chest trauma, which we practiced yesterday. Most importantly, you don’t have to worry about accuracy decreasing due to speed.
A gem that increases treatment accuracy by 1.5 times and a gem that increases the sturdiness of sutures by 2 times.
These two things will make up for the shortcomings of high-speed concentration.
Drurr.
The door opened and Jihye Yoon entered the conference room.
“hello.”
She nodded and received greetings from Choi Ki-seok and Lee Young-ho.
“Kiseok. If it’s okay, would you like to see me for a moment?”
“yes.”
Ki-seok Choi sat down in the lounge with Ji-hye Yoon.
“It’s been a while since you and I saw each other like this, Professor.”
“You and I were both very busy. I had a symposium and prepared an overseas thesis, and you had Saber surgery.”
Jihye Yoon continued speaking with a smile.
“Isn’t it worth living now that the Saber case surgery is over?”
“Yes. Still, I don’t think we should relax our guard just yet. According to Professor Jang, the patient cases for this surgery were very good. He said that if a patient comes in with a bad condition, it won’t be easy.”
“I agree with that. When left ventricular aneurysm is combined with multiple diseases, the level of difficulty increases significantly.”
Jihye Yoon spoke slowly.
“Still, the current Saber team will do well in the future.”
“Yes. Thank you for your support. By the way, have you finished preparing your overseas thesis?”
“I barely finished it last night. I couldn’t sleep and I’m tired.”
Jihye Yoon stuck out her lips sharply.
This is an expression he only shows to Choi Ki-seok, whom he trusts.
Amid a moment of silence, Choi Ki-seok spoke first.
“Professor. I’m sorry, but can I ask you a favor?”
“say it.”
“Well… I want to learn robotic surgery. Is there no way?”
“Robotic surgery? Why suddenly?”
“I thought it would be good to learn it in advance. Unlike in the past, these days a lot of robotic surgery is done. I think it will be useful in many ways once you learn it properly.”
After finishing speaking, Ki-Seok Choi looked at Ji-Hye Yoon.
Jihye Yoon’s robotic surgery skills are top-notch in thoracic surgery.
In addition, he is the only one who possesses skills related to robotic surgery, and his skill level is level 4, just before full level.
If you learn robotic surgery from her, your future will be easier.
“You’re really greedy.”
Jihye Yoon covered her mouth and laughed.
“Are you greedy?”
“Then what are you if you’re not greedy?”
Ki-Seok Choi is a member of the Saber team, providing assists regardless of surgery. Just doing the job right now would be overwhelming, but I was also coveting robotic surgery.
What could it be if not a desire for treatment?
“There will be no other doctor like you in Korea.”
“Is that so?”
Choi Ki-seok smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head.
“Okay, first of all, I’ll think about how to teach you and create a space.”
“thank you.”
“Thanks to you, I got through the symposium safely. That’s about it. Will it happen soon?”
The two returned to the conference room.
Soon, the staff gathered together one by one.
“Then, Professor Kwon, I think you can start the meeting now.”
“Chief, you haven’t arrived yet?”
Kwon Il-su tilted his head at Jang Hyuk-pil’s words.
“Ah… Professor Kwon, haven’t you heard yet? The manager went to China in a hurry this morning to establish a cooperative relationship with Changjin University Hospital.”
“….”
“It’s strange. Professor Kwon doesn’t know what I know.”
A faint smile appeared on Jang Hyuk-pil’s lips.
This is to subtly appeal that Jo Ji-hwan’s heart is focused on him. Kwon Il-soo looked displeased at this and gulped down the water on the table.
“Please know that you are returning by plane this evening…”
“Then let’s start the meeting.”
Kwon Il-soo led the meeting by cutting off Jang Hyuk-pil.
Even if it was the same assistant professor, the number of years and number of years was much higher.
The first order of the meeting was case presentation.
Youngho Lee stood in front of the screen with a nervous face.
Since he had already spent a month in thoracic surgery, he knew well that case presentations in thoracic surgery were intense.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
I took a deep breath and glanced at Kwon Il-soo.
I’ve done enough research on the topic.
As long as you avoid the fact bomber Kwon Il-soo’s questions, it was possible to return safely.
“The topic I will be presenting today is mitral valve replacement surgery. I will begin my presentation now.”
Youngho Lee displayed the presentation material on the screen and continued his explanation.
‘you are good?’
Ki-Seok Choi smiled happily as he watched Young-Ho Lee.
Perhaps because he had prepared a lot, he made eye contact with the staff and presented without reading the material. In addition, the quality of the data was detailed and reflected recent trends.
“…This concludes the presentation above.”
“Youngho, are you good? I didn’t know you were this good.”
Jang Hyuk-pil applauded and praised Lee Young-ho.
The response from other staff members was generally good.
“That remains to be seen. What determines whether to do mitral valve reconstruction or replacement surgery is the area of the regurgitation zone of the mitral valve. What is the standard for the area?”
“If it is less than 0.20 square centimeter, it is considered mild reflux. If it is more than 0.20 square centimeter and less than 0.40 square centimeter, it is moderate reflux. If it is more than 0.40 square centimeter, it is considered severe.”
“Hmm… Name three malfunctions of mitral valve replacement surgery.”
“Valvular stenosis and regurgitation are a combination of valvular stenosis and regurgitation.”
In response to Lee Young-ho’s response, he waved his hand as if he had become Kwon Il-soo.
A kind of passing signal.
Youngho Lee returned to his seat, thankful that he had survived the attack of the fact bomber.
After the case presentation, reporting of the hospitalized patient’s status and confirmation of the surgical patient’s schedule were completed in order.
“This is the end of today’s meeting. For your information, the Norwood team’s case surgery is scheduled for two days later. If you can afford it, please come observe.”
When Kwon Il-soo stood up, the staff followed him.
The rounds that followed also ended without incident.
Ride, ride, ride.
Choi Ki-seok quickly walked to the circulatory department outpatient clinic.
While I was sitting in the patient waiting area, I saw Kim Cheol-woo approaching from the end of the hallway.
Kim Cheol-woo helped Choi Ki-seok a lot when he worked in the circulatory department.
Now, he has established a priestly relationship with Jeong Seol-hwa.
In addition, he was unique in that he had the ability to see both circulatory and respiratory internal medicine treatments at the same time.
“Hello Professor, how are you?”
“Kiseok. It’s been a while.”
Kim Cheol-woo smiled and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Is there anything uncomfortable? He came running before the outpatient clinic even started.”
“I’m not sick, but I have something to tell the professor.” ”
Then we’ll do it inside.”
Ki-Seok Choi entered the outpatient clinic room with Cheol-Woo Kim.
“What do you want to say?”
Cheol-Woo Kim asked directly.
“I have a question about the recently released lung cancer treatment Elita.”
“Elitara… I didn’t know you were interested in internal medicine?”
“An acquaintance of mine is receiving medication at our hospital, so it doesn’t seem like anyone else’s business.” “
Really? “Your friend was hospitalized?”
“Yes. This is the patient Choi Mi-soon, who had a seizure this morning.”
Kim Cheol-woo frowned at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“I’m sure she’s worried. As for my thoughts on Elita… I honestly don’t look at her favorably.”
“I wonder if there’s a reason.”
“Something doesn’t seem clear. It seems like there are side effects. There is also a patient who developed skin redness after taking Elita, and this morning, the patient you mentioned suffered an acute myocardial infarction
. ”
There is. AMI and skin redness are the same thing in common.”
“Then isn’t this a problematic drug?”
“There’s a strong possibility that it is. The problem is whether pharmaceutical companies will budge due to side effects of this magnitude. I heard that one of my classmates already filed a complaint with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and was immediately fired.”
Kim Cheol-woo sighed.
“Unfortunately, there is no way to take Elita down right away. All we can do now is to selectively stop taking medication for patients with side effects.”
Ki-Seok Choi pondered Cheol-Woo Kim’s words and was lost in thought.
“Is this a sufficient answer?”
“Yes. But, Professor. What would you do if the professor could ban the prescription of Elita?”
“Why are you asking such an obvious question? Drugs whose safety is not guaranteed should be eliminated.”
“I have the same thoughts as the professor. So, I’m telling you this… I think I can make a difference in this matter,”
Choi Ki-seok said with his eyes shining.
