Kingmaker (6)
Choi Ki-seok took the elevator and headed to the emergency room.
I tried not to pay attention, but the reminder that my relationship with Matthew was hostile lingered in my head.
Actually, I had no intention of fighting with Matthew.
Matthew is an authority in the field of brain tumor surgery.
Of course, there was a lot to learn.
When a hostile relationship is created, it is you who suffers the loss.
‘what. Now I have to do that.’
Choi Ki-seok changed his mind.
Now that you have become Lucas’ kingmaker, you must do your best to help Lucas become the head chief. Restoring a relationship with Matthew is something to think about later.
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the emergency room.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When I entered the conference room, several doctors were sitting in their seats.
“Mr. Choi. It’s been a while.”
“nice to meet you.”
Morgan and Rahul spotted him and waved.
“Hey. It’s really nice to meet you. Did you both apply for the rescue team?”
Choi Ki-seok sat next to Morgan and said.
“Of course. Outside of department work, the only person who can receive the store is the rescue team.”
“Mr. Choi. You’re really greedy. Are you trying to get an early promotion and then get another store?”
“Didn’t you know that I was really greedy?”
Choi Ki-seok responded to Morgan’s words with a mischievous smile.
I met the two people in just a week.
Still, I felt like I was meeting friends I had been separated from for several months.
“How is general surgery these days?”
“Nothing happened… Ah! Professor Paul left the hospital. There was a case where a patient whose guardian committed a shooting incident had surgery. Professor Paul’s negligence was proven in that surgery.”
“So that’s what happened in the end.”
Choi Ki-seok calmly responded to Rahul’s words.
It was somewhat expected that Paul would be disciplined.
In the past, when he assisted in stomach cancer surgery, his surgical skills were very shaky. There was no way that the surgery in question or any other surgery would have gone well.
“Morgan. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m the second assistant, so I wasn’t disciplined.”
“Have you cleared your mind?”
“so so.”
Morgan nodded slightly.
While I was chatting with my old colleague, several more doctors entered the conference room.
Among them was Nikolai.
Choi Ki-seok exchanged a brief greeting with Nikolai as he passed by.
“How is the atmosphere in neurosurgery?”
“I don’t think it will be good for a while. There is a lot of noise about the election of the next head chief.”
“You didn’t make any noise when you went in?”
“Don’t get me involved in that.”
Choi Ki-seok waved his hand at Rahul’s words.
Drurr.
The door opened and loud footsteps were heard.
Parker, the head of the emergency medicine department, crossed the table and took his place on the podium.
The doctors who were chatting with him because of his charisma fell silent as if he had made a promise.
“Nice to meet you all. I don’t need to introduce myself, right?”
Parker continued, looking at the trainees.
“Starting today, a new project will be implemented in the Department of Emergency Medicine. And you are the proud protagonists of that project. I believe that you will all do well as you are talented people who passed the difficult interview and practical training.”
“….”
“Before explaining the rescue team, we will first reveal your interview and practical scores.”
Several residents’ faces turned white at Parker’s words.
“Why are you dissatisfied?”
“Well… I was wondering if there was any point in revealing the scores now…”
The resident, who made eye contact with Parker, stuttered.
“Yes, I really like lining up people. Do you understand why?”
“I do not know.”
“Ranks are the most primitive way to stimulate humans. I hope that you will be inspired by each other to work harder as a rescue team.”
“….”
“Of course, we have to compensate according to rank.”
Parker’s eyes were fixed on Choi Ki-seok.
“The rescue team interview and practical tests were the highest in the standings. Let’s give a big round of applause to those who got perfect scores.”
match. match. match. match.
Choi Ki-seok smiled awkwardly at the applause of his classmates.
“Kiseok Choi will be given 5 store points as a senior benefit. Everyone knows that if he gets 20 points, he can be promoted early, right?”
“yes!”
“Second place is Morgan and third place is Nicola.”
Applause erupted once again when Parker’s name was called.
Parker cruelly called out everyone from first to last in terms of interview and practical scores.
As soon as the name was called, the atmosphere in the conference room became quiet.
A clearly established hierarchy.
Emotions of competition, jealousy and envy were complexly tangled in the wall that separated them.
‘It’s not normal either.’
Choi Ki-seok was impressed when he saw Parker.
Residents were shaken up by disclosing interview and practical rankings in detail.
In short, would you say that you know how to deal with people?
Although it wasn’t something I wanted to emulate, I couldn’t help but be surprised by the method.
“Then we will now proceed with a brief orientation.”
Parker continued.
The composition and dispatch method of the rescue team, first aid instructions for each case, tips for writing a report after treatment, etc.
The orientation lasted nearly two hours.
“Enough of the talking, let’s begin rescue team activities. Everyone, greet your new colleagues outside the emergency room. For your information, keep in mind that rescue activities will continue in the same order as before.”
Parker stared straight at Choi Ki-seok.
As the chief, he is the first priority to dispatch, so he sent a message to be prepared.
“yes!”
Choi Ki-seok read his eyes and answered courageously.
After the orientation was over, the residents rushed out of the emergency room.
Ten ambulances were parked in the parking lot outside the emergency room.
The parked ambulance was 1.5 times larger than a regular ambulance and looked quite different.
[MaJoe Team Rescue]
There is a large text attached to the side, and a symbol symbolizing MaJoe is engraved in front of it. It looks like a project being conducted jointly by Mayjo Clinic and the state of Minnesota.
‘Well, if that’s enough…’
Choi Ki-seok was able to realize why Parker was pushing the resident.
While inspecting the ambulance, the first rescue team staff came down.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Greg.”
“It’s Charlie.”
“My name is Scarlett.”
Two emergency medical technicians and a nurse greeted me.
Choi Ki-seok greeted the new staff and looked at them with the eyes of Hippocrates.
As Parker carefully selected them, all of them had outstanding abilities.
Among them, Charlie’s abilities are unrivaled.
He had outstanding physical ability and possessed several excellent skills in rescuing people.
Tiring!
[A new party has been formed. Party Name: Team Rescue No.1]
[Team Level: 1]
[Cohesion: 1/5]
[Skill Level: 2/5]
I checked the notification and was not disappointed.
I have just gained a new colleague.
If you already want your team’s abilities to be good, you’re a thief.
‘okay. From now on, it’s up to me what I do.’
Choi Ki-seok glanced at the staff and strengthened his resolve.
For the first time, I had my own team.
Even though we are not part of the thoracic surgery team, we will grow together with them and provide excellent treatment to more patients.
After saying hello, the silence that followed was Charlie who spoke first.
“Mr. Choi, what year is your residency?”
“It’s new this year.”
“Hmm… Then he must have less combat experience than us. How long has it been since we started rescue work?”
“It must have been more than ten years?”
“Has it happened already?”
Charlie spoke calmly, but there was a hint of disdain for Choi Ki-seok in his words.
“Dr. Choi. I hope we don’t end up holding each other back.”
“Hey, Charlie.”
Choi Ki-seok stared at Charlie with cold eyes.
As the two people’s gazes collided, there was a tense atmosphere.
“Don’t speak rudely from the first meeting. Just because you have a lot of experience is not a basis for looking down on me.”
“I hope so.”
Charlie continued without hesitation.
“Do you know how many cowards there are who talk about being doctors and all that in hospitals, but are actually shaking and unable to do anything in the field?”
“Don’t assume that I’m a coward. I don’t know whether the experience you’ve accumulated so far is shit or not.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Charlie frowned and quickly narrowed the distance.
However, Choi Ki-seok’s expression did not change even as much as his fingernails.
“Everyone, stop it. What if we fight as soon as we meet?”
“Charlie. You missed it this time.”
Thanks to Greg and Scarlett’s mediation, the fight between the two barely ended.
“Has everyone checked the items in the ambulance?”
“Yes. I looked through everything while I was waiting. I have a list of treatment tools. Would you like me to give it to you?”
“It’s okay. I’ll check it myself.”
Choi Ki-seok rejected Scarlett’s offer and looked at the rear seat of the ambulance.
Patient monitoring device dressing set bandages, bandages and restraints.
Laryngoscope, ambu bag, tongue depressor, various types of fluids and injections, etc.
Most of the items needed for treatment were new and prepared.
“I’ll go to the emergency room and get a few more things.”
“Is there anything else I need to take care of? This is almost like a small emergency room.”
Scarlett tilted her head.
“Because there could be something.”
Choi Ki-seok went to the emergency room and picked up a few more necessary treatment tools.
As I was leaving the emergency room, the emergency lights of the ambulance turned on.
A loud siren sound hit my eardrums.
“This is an order to dispatch.”
Charlie said with a blunt expression and Choi Ki-seok quickly got into the passenger seat.
The rescue team finally made its first appearance.
Power naturally went into the set of treatment tools I was holding in my hand.
“What’s going on?”
“There’s a fire in a building on King Street. I’ll tell you more as we go.”
The ambulance pulled into the driveway.
According to Charlie’s explanation, a fire broke out in a house in the city center.
A total of five patients were injured in the fire.
Because the patient’s condition was poor, it was concluded that it would be better for a doctor to come and provide treatment rather than transport the patient to the hospital by ambulance.
“Have you ever treated a patient caught in a fire?”
“there is.”
“It’s a blessing in disguise.”
Charlie sarcastically said.
‘We’ll see how far that confidence goes.’
He muttered to himself.
Most of the doctors he had worked with were plants in a greenhouse.
When I saw an emergency patient at the scene, I panicked and didn’t know what to do.
To exaggerate a little, I would say that all I know how to do is CPR.
The problem is that CPR can also be performed by emergency medical technicians.
The strengths of doctors in the field were not as great as expected. At least according to what I have experienced so far.
Moreover, if the rescue team doctor was a new resident, it went without saying.
A long silence followed by a short conversation.
Ki-Seok Choi imagined the location of treatment tools and the condition of the patients while moving.
That was better than encountering the scene without even thinking about it.
‘I need to learn this.’
Choi Ki-seok’s gaze was directed straight ahead.
As the ambulance ran with its siren blaring, surrounding vehicles moved out of the way left and right in an orderly manner.
Thanks to this, the car is running down the road without a single hitch.
This would have been impossible in Korea.
It would be nice if Korea, like the United States, had a system that imposes fines for those who do not make way for ambulances.
As time passed anxiously, the destination was near.
A house adjacent to the sidewalk was ablaze.
Bright red embers stirred in the window, and black smoke covered the entire area.
Firefighters were trying their best to extinguish the fire.
Jump up!
Choi Ki-seok opened the ambulance door and ran to the sidewalk.
“This is rescue team doctor Ki-seok Choi. Where is the patient?”
