Start is half the battle (7)
EOB (Evaluation Of Best heart clinic).
This is an event held once a year by the American Association of Thoracic Surgeons to select the best thoracic surgery institution. It could be called the thoracic surgery version of the medical institution evaluation conducted in Korea.
Last year, first place was Mayjo Clinic Thoracic Surgery.
It achieved two wins following the year before last and comfortably beat James Hopkins Heart Clinic, which came in second place.
‘Maybe Clara is more violent because of EOB…’
Choi Ki-seok nodded slightly.
After Yasada’s important announcement, the meeting proceeded as before.
There were no major problems in the rounds that followed.
Choi Ki-seok, who had some free time, moved to the drama filming location.
At that time, Ethan was filming a scene in the hospital room.
“No. This patient needs to go into the operating room right away!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You, a newbie, know something. And I am this patient’s doctor.”
“Doctor. Have you talked to the patient? Do you really know where and how it hurts?”
Ethan looked at his co-star.
The desperation to save the patient was clearly reflected in his eyes.
“This is a patient suspected of having an aortic dissection. A CT scan must be performed and surgery must be performed immediately.”
“You’re crazy! It’s going to keep coming out like this!”
“That’s right. I’m crazy. It’s driving me crazy to see patients in pain, and the teacher’s continued stubbornness is driving me crazy.”
The scene ended with Ethan trying to drag the bed.
“Good job, Ethan. You’ve really risen these days.”
“thank you.”
Ethan smiled brightly at the drama director’s words.
“Isn’t that an ad-lib just now? I understand there is no action to drag the bed.”
“Ah. Yes. The main character is a passionate doctor. I thought it would be better if he had action rather than just saying lines…” “I never thought I would have
finished interpreting the character. Just keep doing it the same way from now on.”
“I will work hard… Ah, Dr. Choi.”
Ethan found Choi Ki-seok and closed the distance.
“Hahaha. You’re looking at this so embarrassingly.”
“It was just really cool. I thought I was completely possessed by the doctor.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled and gave a thumbs up.
“This is all thanks to Dr. Choi.”
“Me? What did I do?…”
“I just imitated Dr. Choi’s look in my eyes. When treating a child with pectus excavatum, Dr. Choi’s eyes looked exactly like this. The same goes for the lines. Dr. Choi “The more an emergency situation is, the more stern and cold the tone becomes.”
“I didn’t know.”
“It’s difficult for you to know everything about yourself.”
Ethan continued.
“I feel like a lot has changed while accompanying Dr. Choi. If I were to exaggerate a little, I would say I feel like a new person. These days, I even feel like I can treat real patients even when I see them.”
“….”
“Anyway, thank you. I’ve heard a lot of people say that your acting has improved, and the drama’s viewership ratings are going well.”
“That’s because Ethan worked hard. Don’t give up in the future.”
“Of course. I will no longer be an actor whose face is worthless, but an actor whose face is a waste of money.”
After finishing his conversation with Ethan, Choi Ki-seok returned to Uiguk.
Shoot. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
When I looked out the window, heavy rain was falling and thunder was loud.
What on earth is going to happen today….
* * *
That afternoon.
The work day was completed safely.
Choi Ki-seok, who was on duty for the first time, was having a conversation with Emma in the medical office.
“The weather is fierce. I think I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
Emma stared out the window with a worried expression.
The heavy rain that started in the morning did not stop. The rain became thicker and harsher as time went by, and the wind was extremely violent.
“That’s right. I heard a hurricane was coming, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad…”
“Thanks to that, there are no patients, so should I be happy?”
“Maybe?”
The two people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Two hours had passed since I was on duty, but there was not a single call to the emergency room. No matter how powerful the Fanta title is, it seems like it can’t be defeated by Yubi Muhwan or Storm Muhwan.
While talking, Choi Ki-seok suddenly took out a book.
“Why are you reading?”
“I suddenly want to see you.”
“The title is… Breath of the Wind. The book is…”
“That’s right. It’s a book by Professor Mayjo Neurosurgery Professor Pullman.”
Choi Ki-seok stroked the book cover and fell into memories.
If I close my eyes, I can still think of Pullman.
From his despair upon realizing that he had terminal lung cancer, to his courageous overcoming of it, to the words in the letter he sent as he left for the hospice hospital.
“It’s a shame the professor left so quickly.”
“Me too. Still, I think you’re satisfied in heaven by now.”
Pullman’s essay Breath of the Wind became a bestseller immediately upon publication and caused a sensation not only in the United States but also abroad.
A doctor’s calm self-reflection as he faces death.
This gave me a lot to think about.
“By the way, there seems to be a lot of bad things going on these days. Mr. Wang left MHC. There is also the issue of Sherlock, the outpatient treatment robot. How the clinic is going to run….” “It’s definitely not going to be a good day. Mr. Wang and
I. “Did you say goodbye?”
“I didn’t know that yesterday was my last day of work. Actually, I thought we were going to have a farewell party or something.”
“I probably didn’t do it on purpose because having a farewell party would have made the mood even lower. By any chance, Emma doesn’t want to go to James Hopkins, right?”
“Me? I don’t know. What do you think Mr. Choi thinks?”
Emma smiled and stared at Choi Ki-seok.
“Emma won’t leave.”
“What makes you so confident?”
“Emma is a doctor who cares about her patients, and MHC’s motto is patient-centered. The two fit together perfectly, so there is no reason to go to James Hopkins. Am I wrong?”
“Tch. If I tell you not to go out of courtesy, what’s the point? It’s no fun.”
“Now do you know that I’m a boring person?”
“No. I’ve known for a long time.”
Emma nodded vigorously.
As the conversation continued, a sudden broadcast broke out.
[Code Black! Code black! We inform you once again. Code black!
Please reserve the minimum number of patients and have all doctors from all departments go to the emergency room. Doctors in the dormitory, please come to the emergency room right now. We inform you once again. Code black! Code Black!]
Choi Ki-seok and Emma looked at each other with surprised faces at the announcement.
“You didn’t mishear, right? Code Black…”
“Emma is staying. I’ll go.”
Choi Ki-seok ran to the emergency room, his gown flying.
* * *
MHC Emergency Department.
Nurse Angela frowned as she looked around the deserted emergency room.
Ambulances arrived in a matter of minutes and patients poured out.
Moreover, most of the patients had moderate to moderate injuries, so treatment was not easy. As the emergency room staff alone could no longer handle all the patients, a code black sign was eventually issued.
Code Black.
This code is issued when a large number of patients suddenly arrive and the emergency room cannot handle the number of patients.
It happens about once a year at Meijo, but this is the first time a code black has occurred at MHC, a new clinic.
“The weather was shit, and it ended up like this. I wasn’t supposed to be switching shifts with Jane.”
Nurse May, who was nearby, said something.
“May. Please secure a vein for the patient with a head injury over there and inject painkillers.”
“Yes, Teacher Su.”
Following Angela’s instructions, May quickly took action.
Angela checked the doctors’ prescriptions and assigned nurses to the right places.
‘I shouldn’t be doing this…’
The dark cloud on her face became even darker.
After Code Black fell, the emergency room became even more messed up.
Patients continued to flock in, and the cries of their guardians grew louder.
The condition of the doctors who came to the emergency room late was also not good.
There are quite a few people, but they don’t seem to know what to do or how to do it.
Every time a patient was examined, doctors flocked in droves, resulting in poor efficiency.
“Nurse. Is it too far to give this patient an intramuscular injection?”
“This patient. Please bandage it quickly.”
“Please send this patient to the abdominal trauma examination room.”
The doctors on duty began urging the nurses.
Because misfortunes were compounding, some guardians began behaving badly, demanding that their families be treated first.
‘It’s not a hospital, it’s a market place.’
Angela held back what she wanted to say.
As time passed, the situation in the emergency room worsened. Because there were more patients being brought in than being treated.
The despairing thing was that there seemed little room for improvement in the situation in the emergency room.
‘Someone please finish this. ‘This mess!’
As Angela’s frustration reached the top of her head, a man came into the emergency room.
This is Choi Ki-seok.
* * *
‘This is complete bullshit.’
Choi Ki-seok checked the situation in the emergency room and clicked his tongue.
The cries of patients and their guardians grew louder, and the doctors who were called could not move effectively. More than a hundred people were enduring a hellish time together.
The most important thing now is…
traffic control!
“Wait!”
Ki-Seok Choi used Tyrant’s Descent and entered the center of the scene.
“From now on, I will command the scene. Everyone, please follow my instructions!”
“What are you? Aren’t you the new cardiothoracic surgery resident?”
A doctor looked at Choi Ki-seok and rolled his eyes.
“Do you still say that when you look at the current situation? If it’s okay or not, then you take care of the situation.”
“No… I’m not saying I’ll necessarily do it….”
“Can’t you take your annual leave like that and urinate? I need to think of a solution to this situation somehow. I’m just saying I’m not comfortable following the orders of people below me, so what should I do!”
The atmosphere in the emergency room became cold due to Choi Ki-seok’s shouting.
With the effect of the tyrant’s descent and the expression of the charisma he had accumulated over the years, the leadership on the scene was completely transferred to Choi Ki-seok.
“If you are dissatisfied with my command, please come forward.”
“….”
“Nothing? Then please follow my control from now on.”
Ki-Seok Choi first separated the guardians from the patient and then gathered them in one place.
It’s already a very cramped emergency room.
The current guardians are just a bane to medical treatment.
“Let’s start with patient classification. For the patients I wrote for surgery, for those whose treatment I wrote for in the operating room, for those whose treatment was for stable treatment, please leave them out.”
Ki-Seok Choi used the eyes of Hippocrates and scanned the patient.
In an urgent situation like this, there is no time to look into the details.
Diagnosis and current condition progress precautions.
I decided to figure out just these four things.
“Neurosurgery! I suspect this patient has a subdural hemorrhage. Get a brain CT scan and send him to the operating room.”
“Surgery? How would they know that?”
“You will find out naturally when the CT results come out. Don’t ask questions, just follow my instructions first.”
Choi Ki-seok continued speaking rapidly.
“From now on, we will divide up the roles of the neurosurgeons. If you are wearing glasses, please fill out the order and set up the operating room. “If you have a beard, please provide treatment tools, and if you are tall, please focus on treatment.”
After understanding the doctor’s capabilities, Choi Ki-seok entrusted treatment to the most capable person.
Eventually, his classification of patients and division of roles were carried out in all departments. Lose.
As the patients were distributed to the relevant departments and the doctors’ tasks were clearly determined, the emergency room came to life.
Naturally, the speed of treating patients also increased.
“Surgical treatment, treatment, treatment, stability. surgery. Stability.”
Ki-Seok Choi used the eyes of Hippocrates to triage patients in an instant.
It looked as if the god of medicine had descended.
‘Oh my God! You heard my prayer!’
Angela looked at Choi Ki-seok, who appeared like a savior, and held her hands together.
