Impossible (5)
“What? Out of the blue.”
“Why are you suddenly asking for a spoon?”
The crew and several passengers remaining at the scene looked at Choi Ki-seok and tilted their heads.
Wouldn’t an unconscious patient require CPR or other treatment?
Choi Ki-seok’s request was unexpected.
“Haa… haa… I’m here.”
When the flight attendant who received the order ran over and handed out a towel and a spoon, everyone’s attention was focused on Choi Ki-seok.
Choi Ki-seok paid no attention to this and secured the patient’s airway by wrapping the spoon with a towel.
The patient was asphyxiated due to an epileptic seizure.
The most important treatment now is to secure the blocked airway.
In a hospital, tracheal intubation would have been performed, but it was a luxury to expect such treatment tools on board the plane.
I couldn’t help but think of a spoon that could have a similar function.
[You must use the Salinda skill. All stats temporarily increase by one level.]
[You have used the awakening CPR buff. Special effects are added when using artificial respiration, chest compression, and defibrillator.]
Choi Ki-seok used the skill and began artificial respiration.
The patient’s face slowly turns its color.
Eventually, the patient’s eyelids fluttered and he opened his eyes with difficulty.
“Ahhh. How did this happen?”
“The patient collapsed from a seizure. So I provided first aid.”
“Ah. Another seizure… thank you.”
The patient expressed his gratitude with a pained expression, and Choi Ki-seok helped him sit down.
match. match. match. match. When the treatment
was
over, the passengers applauded in unison.
“Good job Mr. Choi.”
“As expected of you.”
Katharina and Charles, who were watching Church from afar, said something to each other.
“I think you should be locked away on a remote island somewhere.”
“why?”
“There are patients wherever you go. I had no idea that there would be a patient on the plane.”
Choi Ki-seok just smiled bitterly at Charles’ joke.
I knew too well the notoriety and power of the Fanta title, so I couldn’t refute it.
“If there’s someone the professor doesn’t like, leave it to this guy.”
“What does it mean?”
“Mr. Choi is a doctor and an assassin at the same time. If you are with Mr. Choi, people you don’t like will get sick.”
“Is that a great ability?”
Katarina covered her mouth and laughed.
“Charles. You know that you see my face every day, right? You should be careful too.”
“Aren’t you always nervous?”
While we were laughing and talking, the plane arrived at the airport.
The three people completed immigration procedures and boarded a taxi heading to MHC.
“As expected, I like my hometown.”
Choi Ki-seok got off the taxi and stared at the MHC building.
If you think about it, the time I trained in the United States was longer than the time I trained in Korea. Maybe that’s why I felt more comfortable when I arrived at the American hospital than when I was at medical school.
“Okay then, shall we go?”
“yes.”
Katarina took the lead, followed by Charles and Choi Ki-seok.
After a while, Katarina unpacked in the lab and the two unpacked in the dormitory and visited the thoracic surgery ward.
Just then, Emma came from across the hallway.
“Nice to meet you both. Did you enjoy the symposium?”
“I had a great time. I learned a lot and observed Saber’s surgery live.”
“Saber surgery? That would have been nice.”
Emma made an envious look at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“It was busy because there was no one there, right?”
“It’s okay. Residents from other teams helped me a lot. I even took the patient with me.”
“It was fortunate. You had a hard time.”
The three moved to Uiguk and continued their conversation.
Although he was only gone for four days, something quite spectacular happened at the hospital during that time. Among them, the most impressive thing was the change in EOB evaluation guidelines.
Originally, Parker issued guidelines to appropriately select patients for EOB (Evaluation of Thoracic Surgery).
Mayjo Clinic Thoracic Surgery and MHC are separated.
As EOB evaluations were conducted separately, an atmosphere of competition was created. Parker created such guidelines to discourage Mayo Clinic Cardiothoracic Surgery.
However, the guidelines changed when Yasada informed higher-ups of the irrationality of the pulmonary artery stenosis case.
Mayjo Clinic Thoracic Surgery and MHC are using the same guidelines.
‘Sue, sue, sue.’
Ki-seok Choi grinned, imagining Parker and Benson looking like they had chewed shit.
The crime of delaying Jamie’s surgery and trying to replace it with balloon dilatation.
It will pay off slowly in the future.
“Have Emma and Jeremy not reached their CAP (maximum number of patients per doctor)?”
“Both are full. Starting today, two people will need to receive patients.”
“That’s natural.”
Charles nodded slightly.
After finishing his conversation with his colleagues, Choi Ki-seok began to walk around the hospital room.
The first place I visited was Jamie’s hospital room.
Jamie was moved from the intensive care unit to a regular hospital room just yesterday. The surgery was completed successfully, and the post-operative care I received in the intensive care unit was good, so it seemed like there would be no problem if I was discharged soon.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
As he opened the door and entered, Jamie and Samuel stared at him at the same time.
“Hello Teacher.”
“Dr. Choi. It’s been a while.”
“Hello Jamie. Nice to meet you too Samuel.”
Choi Ki-seok stood in front of the bed, receiving greetings from two people.
“I’m sorry. I had to leave due to a symposium schedule.”
“It’s okay. I heard everything from another teacher.”
“Teacher, what is a symposium?”
Jamie, who was sleeping, asked with shining eyes.
“It’s a bit of a difficult word for Jamie, right? To put it simply, it’s a lot of people gathering together and sharing opinions.”
“So are we having a symposium now?”
“Well, it can be seen as similar.”
“Hehe. The symposium is nothing special.”
Ki-Seok Choi and Samuel burst into laughter at Jamie’s words.
Because her words were pure and at the same time straight to the point.
“I looked at the chart before coming. The echocardiogram and CT results were very good. We will make a discharge plan within this week.”
“I was waiting for you to say that. Jamie and I were getting bored at the hospital.”
“It’s not a place to stay for a long time. A hospital.”
“Hahaha. Is it okay for a teacher to say something like that?”
“Because facts are facts.”
The atmosphere became cheerful due to Choi Ki-seok’s joke.
“I’m only saying this now, but thank you so much. I heard that this surgery would have been aborted if Dr. Choi hadn’t stepped forward.”
“Did the Head Chief tell you anything?”
“yes.”
“I see. But…”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“What was more important was Samuel’s decision. If Samuel had not trusted me, the surgery would have been impossible in the end.”
“Well, I don’t think there’s any guardian who wouldn’t trust Dr. Choi.”
“yes?”
“Actually, before agreeing to the surgery, I searched for articles about Dr. Choi. He had an impressive record. He had previously performed surgery on conjoined twins, and not long ago, a video showing him triaging patients in the emergency room was posted on NewTube. That video was posted on NewTube. “I made a decision after seeing that Dr. Choi could save Jamie’s life.”
“….”
“Jamie should also say thank you to the teacher.”
“Thank you, teacher.”
Jamie bowed his head and took something out of a drawer and held it out.
“Is it a gift?”
“Yes. It’s my favorite.”
Choi Ki-seok received the rabbit nurse doll given to him by Jamie.
Tiring!
[You have acquired a new item, a rabbit nurse.]
[Rabbit nurse]
– Follow the rabbit nurse, follow the cute rabbit nurse in the hospital – Effect: Removes all debuffs and harmful effects on patients and medical staff. In cases of severe psychological trauma, only temporary relief is possible. The maximum number of uses per day is two and the duration is two days.
[New title: Token of Faith]
– Treatment requires faith.
– Even if the patient and guardian are seeing each other for the first time, a level 2 rapport is automatically formed. Medical personnel are not included in the target, but the effect is activated if the medical professional has the status of a patient.
Ki-seok Choi checked the status window and made a bewildered expression.
I wondered how long it had been since I received an item from a patient.
In addition, I thought that if this item had existed before, it would have completely eliminated Jeong Myeong-woon’s contempt for the weak and Smith’s invisible hand debuff during his time at Uijindae.
“Teacher. Don’t you like rabbits?”
Jamie asked, looking at Choi Ki-seok’s expression.
“No. It’s because I love you so much. I’ll take good care of you, just like my friend Jamie did.”
“yes!”
“Okay. Thank you very much for the gift.”
After finishing his conversation with the father and daughter, Choi Ki-seok left the hospital room.
Next, we looked at Rahul, who was waiting for a heart transplant from India, and Kevin, who suffers from pectus excavatum.
While Rahul’s condition was the same, Kevin’s condition was much better.
There was no problem in scheduling Nurse Bar surgery soon.
After finishing his round, Ki-Seok Choi took a breather in the lounge.
I was drinking a can of coffee and sorting out my work when the break room door suddenly opened.
“Hello Professor.”
Choi Ki-seok checked the other person and stood up.
“It’s been a while. Did you enjoy the symposium?”
“Yes. I had a nice trip.”
“Looking at the bright color of your face, I don’t think those words are empty.”
Kwon Il-soo sat across from him with a smile.
Today is the first time I have met alone with Kwon Il-soo. As I looked at him quietly, I felt like my body was floating.
“What are you staring at so intently?”
“Honestly, I still can’t believe it. The fact that Professor Kwon came to MHC.”
“So do i.”
Kwon Il-soo paused before continuing.
“After being pushed out by Jang Hyuk-pil, I thought my career as a doctor would end like this. I thought that no matter how hard I tried and how good my skills were, the world would not recognize me.”
“….”
“I didn’t do it to get recognition from others, but people’s hearts are really treacherous.”
“I think I would have doubts even if I were in the professor’s position.”
“Thank you for comforting me.”
Amid a moment of silence, Choi Ki-seok spoke first.
“Do you have any outpatient treatment today?”
“I only came up after seeing the morning treatment. Chief Yasada said that yesterday. Don’t focus on seeing patients for the time being and just get used to life here. He looks like King Enma, but he’s surprisingly warm on the inside.”
“I agree. But when he gets angry, he really looks like King Yeomra.”
“….”
“What do you think of MHC?”
“Do I need to say it again? It’s an excellent hospital. The equipment is good and the system is flawless. The average skill of the staff is also better than that of Uijin University. If possible, I think I’ve buried my bones here.”
“So have you completely given up on the idea of returning to Korea?”
“Well. As of now…”
Kwon Il-soo trailed off.
“By the way, it’s been a while since I saw Mr. Choi, and he was really sorry that he couldn’t give me a gift. “If it weren’t for Teacher Choi, I wouldn’t be here.”
“No. “There’s no need for a gift.”
“That’s what Mr. Choi thinks. I just finished preparing the gift a little while ago, so check it out. The name of the gift is 44445555. Then, I have an appointment with Deputy Director Song, so I’ll stop.”
Kwon Il-soo left the room with a chuckle, and Choi Ki-seok blankly watched his back.
The gift number was 44445555.
It came to me late.
