“The first test is the bandage method.”
Parker grabbed the bandage from his desk and sat down on the sofa again.
“Are you talking about the bandage method?”
“Yes. There is no tool more effective than bandages in handling trauma patients. In other words, if you don’t know how to properly apply a bandage, you are not qualified to join the rescue team.”
Parker looked Choi Ki-seok up and down and continued speaking.
“Why are you not confident?”
A wry smile appeared on Parker’s lips.
There are surprisingly few doctors who know how to use bandages properly.
It varies depending on the major, but usually there is not much need to use bandages.
Moreover, not only do the sizes of bandages vary considerably, but the method of wrapping them varies depending on the wound area.
Among the doctors interviewed today, there were many who failed the bandage method.
“I am confident.”
“I like your answer. Now, pretend I have head trauma and bandage my head.”
Choi Ki-seok approached Parker with a pressure bandage in his hand. He then spread out the bandage with both arms and wrapped it horizontally around Parker’s forehead.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Bandages crossed diagonally on the back of Parker’s head.
Crossed bandages wrapped around his chin and the top of his head.
After repeating the same process twice, the head trauma bandaging method was completed.
“Uhm… if that’s enough…”
Parker nodded slightly.
The pressure from the bandage was appropriate and the finish was clean.
I also liked the calmness shown during the treatment and the speed of the treatment.
“Next time, let’s assume it’s a clavicle fracture.”
“yes.”
Ki-Seok Choi confidently started the next bandage method.
Bandage method.
Although other doctors looked down on this treatment, he had been practicing the bandaging technique diligently since he was an intern.
I was wondering if I, who lagged behind other classmates, could possibly be recognized through the bandage method.
I never thought that the training I did back then would shine brightly now.
Whirring.
Choi Ki-seok wrapped Parker’s left shoulder with a bandage.
Meanwhile, the bandage was lowered diagonally to the right and wrapped around Parker’s right shoulder. In that state, the bandage was lowered diagonally to the left and sent to the left shoulder, and a figure 8 was drawn on the back.
This is the figure 8 bandage method used for clavicle fractures.
The second treatment was completed by tying a knot with the remaining bandages.
“It exceeded my expectations.”
“Thank you. I think it’s because I didn’t forget what I practiced during my internship.”
“Now that I’ve confirmed your skills, please save me.”
“Ah yes.”
Choi Ki-seok cut the bandage with scissors placed on the table.
“Next, we will find out how to deal with cases that arise during rescue operations. If you were to treat a patient with intoxication, how would you deal with it?”
“Treatment may vary depending on the drug consumed. First, a guardian or paramedic must find out what the drug was, how much it was consumed, and how long it has been since the person consumed it.”
“After this?”
“Maintaining the patient’s airway and stabilizing respiratory and circulatory support are top priorities.”
“What if the patient drank pesticide?”
“After taking the medical history, place the patient in the recovery position. In that state, maintain the airway and perform general treatment.”
“Make a recovery pose with a practice doll and explain its significance.”
Ki-Seok Choi laid the training doll on its side, raised one leg up, and lowered the other leg halfway.
“This will relieve abdominal discomfort and prevent vomit and saliva from entering the airway.”
“Okay. Let’s continue treating the pesticide patient.”
“We check for pesticide contamination on clothes and skin and clean them. Upon arrival at the hospital, we check to see if there is an antidote to the poisoned pesticide and perform a stomach lavage if necessary.”
“Okay. Next case.”
The question-and-answer session between Parker and Ki-Seok Choi continued.
There were a total of five emergency patient cases, and Ki-Seok Choi answered all the questions promptly.
When I was an intern at medical school, I went to a rural area and worked in an emergency medicine department. Thanks to the Fanta title, I received all kinds of patients for a month, and the experience was of great help.
“I heard that you were the first new resident to be promoted early. That’s not for nothing.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Mr. Choi, what do you think is the flower of first aid?”
“I think… CPR.”
“Hahaha. That’s the answer I want.”
Parker laughed heartily and clapped his hands.
“The basics are the most important in anything. But when you dig deeper, you find that the basics are more difficult than you think.”
“yes.”
“I want to see you do CPR one last time, but I don’t know if you have a case. Just follow me.”
Choi Ki-seok followed Parker out of the office.
As I walked through the hallway and through the door, I could see the emergency room at a glance.
Soon, two people visited the emergency room.
As befits the nickname “patient triage center,” various patients are receiving treatment and waiting to be hospitalized.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any CPR cases.”
“Then I…”
“I passed.”
Parker answered quickly.
“Out of all the people interviewed today, you are the only one who passed. It’s a shame you didn’t get to see CPR, but I believe you have top-level skills.”
“thank you.”
Choi Ki-seok bowed his head slightly.
If you join the rescue team, you will not only be exposed to a variety of emergency patient cases, but you will also be able to receive a store.
It’s truly two birds with one stone.
Tiring!
[A new department has been created.]
[Department: Neurosurgery]
[Department: Emergency Medicine and Rescue Team (Currently, the team has not been formed.)]
While the two were talking, a man rushed into the emergency room.
There was a medium-sized dog in her arms.
“Hey. My Teddy suddenly isn’t breathing. Is there any way he can be treated?”
The man stamped his foot.
“I’m sorry. Mayjo Clinic does not provide animal care. I think you should go to a nearby animal hospital.”
“Then it would be too late…”
The man bit his lip in response to the intern’s answer.
There was sadness in the eyes looking down at the puppy.
“Chief, please excuse me for a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok quickly approached the man. And I used the Eyes of Hippocrates on my dog.
The condition is emergency.
Although a specific diagnosis was not given, symptoms included shortness of breath and heart pain.
“Put the dog down. We need to administer first aid.”
“yes?”
“Hurry!”
As Choi Ki-seok urged, the man put the dog down on the floor.
‘you can do it. can do.’
I once saw CPR being performed on an animal at the animal hospital where I went to treat General.
If you follow the steps taken at that time, you may be able to save your dog.
[Use the Must Save skill. Temporarily increases the level of all abilities by one level.]
[Special effects are added to chest compressions and artificial respiration using awakening CPR.]
“No breathing, no pulse.”
After checking some of the dog’s vital signs, we immediately began CPR.
First, I held the dog’s muzzle with my hand and breathed through its nose.
After two rounds of artificial respiration, a hand was placed near the joint of the dog’s forelimb.
puck! puck! puck! puck!
The dog’s body heaved every time I pressed its chest.
“What are you doing over there?”
“Mr. Choi is giving CPR to a dog?”
“What? To the dog?”
Some emergency medicine staff members were curious about the CPR scene.
This is the first time in Meijo’s history that CPR was performed on an animal rather than a person.
On the other hand, Choi Ki-seok concentrated on CPR without paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Life is precious whether it is an animal or a human.
If there is a way to save it, it is right to do your best.
Approximately ten minutes have passed since CPR was continued.
Just as Choi Ki-seok’s efforts were about to disappear like bubbles, the puppy started whimpering and moving his body. Then, with difficulty, he opened his eyes and hung his long tongue.
“Teddy!”
The man hugged the dog with an expression of emotion.
Choi Ki-seok examined the dog with the eyes of Hippocrates and checked its vital signs.
Fortunately, pulse and breathing are normal.
“It’s an emergency, but you need to go to the hospital.”
“Thank you, sir. Thank you.”
The man repeatedly bowed his head to Choi Ki-seok, and Choi Ki-seok scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
‘Are they even saving animals with CPR?’
Parker smiled as he watched Choi Ki-seok.
I was curious about his future actions.
* * *
That afternoon.
Choi Ki-seok entered the necessary prescriptions and visited the surgical intensive care unit.
‘Is there no way?’
The face looking down at Carter was full of concern.
Carter was hospitalized after a car accident and underwent surgery to remove a hematoma due to a subdural hemorrhage. Afterwards, he was managed in the intensive care unit and had not been conscious for several days.
“Teacher, may I use your computer for a moment?”
“Yes. Please do so.”
From the station nurse’s seat, I looked at Carter’s post-operative CT records.
A simple way to view brain CT.
It is understood that the white part on the outside of the head is bone and the white part on the inside of the head is the bleeding area.
In Carter’s case, there was no white area inside his head.
This means that the hematoma was completely removed through emergency surgery.
‘Was the damage caused by trauma significant?’
Choi Ki-seok was lost in thought as he looked at other test results.
“Dr. Choi. Here!”
The nurse who was making rounds raised her voice.
As I approached the nurse, she pointed her index finger at Carter. Carter was moving his body little by little.
“Uuuuugh.”
Carter groaned and opened his eyes with difficulty. He frowned and looked around.
“What…what happened?”
“Carter was brought here because he was in a car accident.”
“Ah… car accident….”
“Now that you are conscious, let me check a few things.”
Choi Ki-seok examined Carter’s pupils with a light. There were no abnormalities in pupil size and reflex.
“Do you know where this is?”
“The hospital.”
“Would you like to know who I am?”
“I’m a doctor.”
“Just blink your eyelids if you understand everything I’m saying.”
Carter blinked his eyelids at his command.
This is a perfect score on the GSC (Glasgow Coma Scale), which evaluates consciousness.
Choi Ki-seok confirmed Carter’s clear consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief.
I wonder if I might fall into a state of brain death.
I was worried that I might not be able to speak properly due to brain damage.
“What are you most uncomfortable with right now?”
“My head is throbbing. It feels like someone is pricking me with a needle.”
“Is there anything else?”
“yes.”
Carter nodded slightly.
Accordingly, Choi Ki-seok prescribed headache medication and requested collaboration with a neurologist.
“Can I see my wife and daughter? You must have been worried because of me…
” “Not only is it not visiting time, but I think it would be better for you to get some rest.” ”
Then there’s nothing we can do,”
Carter continued after a pause.
“I’m staying at the hospital for the time being . Now that I’m indebted to you, I guess the concert is over.”
“The concert?”
“I guess my wife didn’t hear about it. I am a pianist. “I can’t say it myself, but it’s quite famous around here.”
“Ah. okay. It’s an honor to meet you.”
“It’s an honor… By the way, I’m thirsty, so could you give me some water?”
“Yes.”
Ki-seok Choi filled a water cup and tried to feed Carter.
“He’s not a kid and he can’t drink water on his own. There is.”
Carter’s smiling face suddenly hardened.
He couldn’t get a cup of water as to where it hurt and just kept groaning.
“What’s wrong?”
“My… arm… can’t move.”
Carter’s face said . Despair struck me.
