“It’s already that time.”
Choi Ki-seok stared at the wall clock and nodded slightly.
The second house from Meijo.
The last surgery was done as an emergency, but this surgery was performed officially, accompanied by a teaching resident.
“If it’s Mr. Choi, there’s no problem. I saw that you were very good at practice yesterday, right?”
“Thank you. Still, practice is important.”
“Well, that’s true, but.”
The two people talked and moved to the operating room.
Emma was waiting first in front of H Rosette where the surgery would take place.
“The two of you are getting along well. Tax will arrive soon.”
“Good.”
“Hey Ethan, can I ask you a pointless question?”
“However much.”
“Honestly, isn’t Mr. Choi’s progress too fast? No matter how successful the laparoscopic appendectomy is, it’s immediately Ruwaii surgery.”
Emma continued speaking with a worried expression.
“My classmates are still doing appendectomies. It’s a surgery I’ve only recently learned about…”
“I think so too.”
“Then why…”
“Because it was an order from the Head Chief. It seemed like Mr. Choi was curious about how far he could go.”
Ethan shrugged.
While the three were talking, Jose dragged the bed the patient was lying on.
“Let’s start scrubbing.”
Choi Ki-seok calmly stood in front of the disinfection table and scrubbed with a brush.
Gourd. Gourd. Gourd. Gourd.
I felt strange while scrubbing.
It’s been a long time since I felt this feeling, as if my heart was pounding and my body was floating. With this skill, you will be able to overcome the obstacle called debuff.
Jiyiing.
The door opened and the staff entered the rosette all at once.
While Jose was taking a timeout, the surgeons took their seats and the anesthesiologist began administering general anesthesia.
‘The case is bad, but there’s nothing we can do about it.’
Choi Ki-seok looked down at the patient and controlled his mind.
The patient was severely obese with a high body mass index.
Normally, I couldn’t even move around on my own, and the flesh on my whole body hung down like a decoration.
It was more difficult to secure a surgical field of view for these severely obese patients than for general patients.
“From now on, we will be performing laparoscopic Luwai surgery.”
At Choi Ki-seok’s cry, Emma, the first assistant, disinfected the patient’s abdomen and covered it with a cloth.
“Meth.”
Choi Ki-seok received a scalpel from a sterilizing nurse and made a small incision in the patient’s lower right abdomen, below the navel and above the pubic bone. Afterwards, a trocar was inserted into the incision site.
“Camera port forceps bobby.”
I placed the tools I received from Ethan into the trocar one by one.
Soon, an image of the abdominal cavity appeared on the monitor in front of me.
“As expected, I can’t see the organs clearly. Emma will have to suffer a bit.”
“Do not worry.”
As Emma moved the camera port around, the stomach, the site of today’s surgery, soon appeared.
“Clamp (forceps).”
Choi Ki-seok received laparoscopy-specific forceps from the disinfection nurse and inserted them into the trocar. Then, while watching the monitor, the joint between the stomach and esophagus was tightened with forceps.
Click.
Preparations to stop the bleeding have been completed.
“Are you going to go into abstinence right away?”
“Yes. Please hold it well. Mezzem (surgical scissors).”
Choi Ki-seok separated the proximal part (closer to the center of the body) and the distal part (farthest from the center of the body) of the stomach with surgical scissors.
The first stage of Ruwai surgery is to reduce the volume of the stomach.
square. square. square.
Delicate scissoring continued.
If the scissors are used incorrectly and the volume of the stomach increases or decreases too much, problems arise.
“Sobriety is over.”
“okay.”
At Choi Ki-seok’s signal, Ethan pulled out the cut stomach with forceps.
Empty!
A finely cut stomach fell onto the curved plate.
“I guess you were good at crafts when you were young? Isn’t scissoring fun?”
Ethan said jokingly and continued to look down at the bench.
Even with open surgery, it is difficult to cut out the stomach so cleanly. This is because there is a large curve and a small curve in the distal part of the stomach. However, Choi Ki-seok succeeded in maintaining the curves and controlling them.
Even during laparoscopic surgery.
“I used to like things like origami. 5-0 vicryl (absorbable suture).”
Geek.
The suture needle was tightened with the needle holder and pushed into the trocar.
But at that very moment, the strange sensation I felt before the surgery was maximized.
At the same time, Choi Ki-seok’s actions temporarily stopped. As if time had stopped.
“Mr. Choi. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“Are you in any pain?”
“Gwae… It’s okay. Don’t worry.”
Choi Ki-seok showed a relaxed smile and began to carry out the work in earnest.
come!
Finally, everything and everything has come!
I felt like I became one with the fellow who performed the Ruwai surgery, which I filmed a video of in the past.
Choi Ki-seok meticulously sutured the severed stomach.
Thanks to Ethan’s thorough assistance in securing Emma’s surgical vision, I was able to display my skills to the fullest.
Even though laparoscopic surgery was performed, the suturing was fast and accurate like open surgery.
The entire process goes smoothly, from the initial needle stitching to the final knotting of the ligation that leaves a suture at the cut area.
‘Is this a person?’
‘Nonsense. ‘This is a scam!’
Ethan and Emma stuck out their tongues as they watched Choi Ki-seok.
As expected, Ki-Seok Choi will have to fumble and struggle with the surgery, and each time that happens, two people will have to step in and provide advice or direct help.
However, expectations and reality were completely reversed.
‘It’s surprising.’
Ki-Seok Choi finished suturing once and looked at Ethan and Emma alternately.
The person with whom he became one is a fellow who is at level 8 in surgical procedures and has skills dedicated to laparoscopic surgery.
So, even if my surgical level was reduced due to an invisible debuff, I was able to fully demonstrate my original skills.
“The rest of the work begins.”
Choi Ki-seok held the needle holder in his hand without hesitation.
First, the jejunum was connected to the junction of the stomach and esophagus, and a hole was made in the jejunum to connect it to the duodenum.
After a long process, a Y shape was formed at the junction of the stomach and esophagus. This is why this surgery is called Ruwai surgery.
“I’ll check for leaks. Clamp.”
Click!
The lower end of the anastomosis between the stomach and jejunum was held with forceps. Then, I carefully applied pressure with forceps to see if any contents or air came out.
“Ethan. How are you?”
“There doesn’t seem to be a leak. I’ll look at the jejunum and duodenal anastomosis.”
Ethan proceeded to check for leaks using the same method.
Just like before, there was nothing wrong.
“It’s over now. All I have to do is finish it.”
“yes.”
Ki-Seok Choi completed the surgery with the help of Ethan and Emma.
After examining the patient with a monitoring device and Hippocrates, the patient’s condition was good.
Only then did a smile appear on his lips.
Tiring!

“Mr. Choi is the best. Maybe even more of a monster than the Head Chief.”
“It was a difficult surgery, but it was done really well.”
“It’s thanks to the great help you two gave me. Thanks to them, I completed the surgery successfully.”
Choi Ki-seok left the rosette while exchanging well-wishes with the two people.
With this, we have passed the final hurdle for the Hire system.
* * *
That afternoon.
Ki-Seok Choi checked the patient’s condition one last time before leaving work.
Then, it stopped in front of the hospital room where Lavin Williams was.
‘I’ll have to see the match tomorrow.’
His brows narrowed.
Because a disease other than Crohn’s disease was consuming Lavigne.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I knocked and entered Lavin’s hospital room.
“Is there a problem?”
Lavigne asked without taking her eyes off the TV.
Additionally, there was a hint of coldness in his tone of voice.
It seemed like the argument from the morning was still in his mind.
“What do you think? The questionnaire said that I was a person who would commit suicide?”
“No. The results of the questionnaire are completely normal. Of course, I don’t believe that Lavigne filled it out correctly.”
“Oh my. It’s so absurd.”
Lavin clicked his tongue and placed his hand on his forehead.
“Doctor Choi. Do you have a hobby of turning normal people into crazy people?”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of hobby.”
“I have to ask to change my doctor. There is no answer at all. I want to be alone, so please leave.”
“I’ll just draw blood and leave.”
Choi Ki-seok placed the blood collection tool he had brought with him on the table. Then he sat across from Lavin and tied his wrists with tourniquets.
As time passed, thick blood vessels gradually appeared.
‘what? This?’
Choi Ki-seok’s eyes widened.
A fine needle mark was visible on his forearm.
“Is there something wrong?”
“No. It’s because the veins are too visible.”
Ki-seok Choi finished drawing blood and left the hospital room. And while walking down the hallway, I met Jose and asked him to get tested.
With this, all that remains to be done today is the handover.
“Dr. Choi. Are you busy?”
I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice and saw David standing there.
“What happen?”
“I’m collecting blood from an obese patient and it’s not easy. I hope Dr. Choi can help.”
David politely asked if the sun had risen in the west.
“Who’s in what room?”
“Thank you. Please follow me.”
I followed David into a hospital room.
The female patient sitting by the window had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
“Hello. My name is Dr. Choi.”
“In the end, the doctor came in person. Surely you won’t fail? I’m going to die from pain.”
The patient pointed to the injection mark with his index finger.
While the two were talking, David smiled sinisterly from a distance away from them.
‘You bastard looked at me funny, didn’t you? ‘You should try it too.’
David’s eyes were fixed on Choi Ki-seok.
Since Choi Ki-seok came, nothing has happened.
Even the intern Jose, whom he looked down on, confronted him and was even fired due to a recent incident.
Ki-Seok Choi is the culprit behind all of this.
The time has come to bring justice upon him.
“Doctor. Let me prepare for a blood draw.”
“is it so.”
Ki-Seok Choi continued talking with the patient even after answering.
The opportunity is now!
I unwrapped the syringe on the dressing cart and put it in my pocket. And I took the syringe I had prepared in advance in my hand.
Also called reusable syringe.
I used this syringe to collect blood from a syphilis patient yesterday.
“A tonicette and an alcohol swab.”
“yes.”
Afterwards, a reusable syringe was handed to Choi Ki-seok, who was ready to draw blood.
David had to work hard to suppress his laughter. A stupid Asian doctor will not even know that he is heading to the grave.
“Wait a minute, David. Who is that patient?”
Choi Ki-seok looked back and forth between the patient and the reused syringe, then turned his head back.
“Who?”
David also stared at the ward hallway along with Choi Ki-seok. But there was no one in the hallway.
“There was a patient who just passed by on crutches . .”
“There are no patients using crutches in the ward.”
“Is this an illusion?”
Ki-Seok Choi shrugged his shoulders and opened the cap of the syringe needle.
At that very moment.
David tapped Ki-Seok Choi with his shoulder, and Ki-Seok Choi hit his finger on the needle from the shock. I got stabbed.
Drops of blood formed from the stab wound.
David thought it was so beautiful.
“What are you doing!” David!”
“I… I’m sorry. My feet suddenly got tangled.”
“Be careful from now on.”
Choi Ki-seok wiped the wound with an alcohol swab and then started to draw blood.
After the blood was drawn, the two left the hospital room side by side.
“As expected, Mr. Choi’s blood drawing skills are the best. Don’t forget it even after leaving the hospital. You won’t be able to do it.” “That’s all you
need to know
.” “Then that’s enough for me.”
David smiled as he returned to the station.
Imagining Choi Ki-seok’s future of contracting syphilis.
Meanwhile, Choi Ki-seok watched David’s back and took out a syringe from his gown. .
‘You are truly irredeemable.’
