There is no end to learning (5)
“That’s amazing.”
Jenny looked at the anchored cruise ship, blocking the sunlight with her hand.
The cruise ship was big, grand, and gorgeous.
I couldn’t believe that treatment and checkups were being conducted in a place like this.
“Wow! Mom. Are we going to sleep here overnight?”
“Okay. Are you excited?”
“Yes. My heart is pounding.”
Daughter Jane was stamping her feet and not knowing what to do, and Jenny looked down at her daughter and smiled faintly.
She couldn’t help but be happy about this situation.
Because there was one more thing to do besides getting a checkup.
That is, evaluating MHC’s cruise examination.
By chance, I was asked by an acquaintance who works at the Thoracic Surgery Association to perform an EOB evaluation.
The evaluation paper was lying dormant in her bag, and the moment she got off the cruise ship, it would become a sharp dagger and stab the MHC.
‘The answer is fixed anyway.’
Her eyes as she looked at the cruise ship were murderous.
“Mom, why are you so scared of snow?”
“The sunlight is too strong. Shall we go in then?”
Jenny unpacked her luggage in the cabin after boarding with Jane.
The room was clean, just like the image in the promotional book.
It is comparable to most hotel rooms.
Jane seemed to like the room and started jumping up and down on the bed.
It took a lot of energy to stop it.
After packing up our bags, we moved to the banquet hall on the second floor.
The first step in this cruise’s treatment is orientation. An employee dressed in a suit was chatting about the schedule and precautions until tomorrow.
Of course, people just enjoyed the refreshments and listened to his story.
Jenny was no different from them.
I gave the orientation by ear and played with my daughter at a level that did not disturb those around her.
The first treatment time came as time passed.
Jenny visited various departments, starting with general surgery, and heard the test results.
Gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, thyroid ultrasound, breast cancer screening, etc.
All test results were good.
It’s only natural since I took thorough care of my health after that person left my side.
The last place I visited was thoracic surgery.
As I entered the treatment room, a black-haired Asian doctor waved and greeted me.
“Jenny. Why are you looking at me so intently?”
“Ho… Isn’t this Dr. Choi? That one appeared in a NewTube video a while ago?”
“Ah. That’s right. I’m that Ki-seok Choi. I’m not even a celebrity, so I’m embarrassed to recognize you.”
Choi Ki-seok scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed. I didn’t mean it in a good way.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“You are devils in white coats. On the outside, you talk about caring for patients, but in reality, you only care about your own performance and salary. Am I wrong?”
There was anger in Jenny’s voice.
“It looks like you have bad memories about doctors. Seeing you say things like that.”
“….”
“There are two types of people in the world: those who do the right thing and those who do the wrong thing. The person Jenny met was probably the latter. I understand the pain you felt at the time, but it is not right to criticize all doctors. “It’s not right.”
Jenny was momentarily speechless at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
The tone of voice was soft, but somehow had the power to pierce one’s heart.
Just like that person.
“I didn’t come to listen to the sermon. Please stop talking nonsense and tell me the results of the test.”
“I will, if you wish.”
Choi Ki-seok explained the test results in detail, and Jenny nodded appropriately and agreed.
“In conclusion, there is nothing wrong?”
“Yes. However, if you live excessively while relying on the test results, you may develop diseases that did not exist before. Always pay attention to your health.”
“….”
“Is the person next to you your daughter?”
Choi Ki-seok looked at Jane and changed the topic.
“Yes. My name is Jane.”
“I guess you’re here for your mother’s medical treatment. Your father… Ah, that’s enough of the story. Are you excited to go on a cruise ship?”
“It was good at first, but now it’s not so good. I’m bored because I play alone.”
Jane pursed her lips.
Then, my eyes were fixed on the stethoscope hanging around Choi Ki-seok’s neck.
“Teacher, I can use that just once.”
“Jane, you can’t do that. This is not your playground.”
“Heeeeee. Mom.”
“It’s okay. It’s the last treatment, so I have some time. If Jane is okay, I’d like to hear the auscultation sounds for the child…” ”
It’s meaningless.”
“Well, you never know. Perhaps Jane can pursue her dream of becoming a doctor by using the stethoscope today?”
“….”
“There is nothing meaningless in the world. There are only things that are given meaning and things that are not.”
“…Do whatever you want.”
“Hey! I’m excited!”
Jane jumped up and approached Choi Ki-seok, and Choi Ki-seok put a stethoscope on Jane.
Talk. Talk. Talk.
“how is it?”
“Wow. It sounds really loud!”
When Choi Ki-seok knocked on the auscultation board, Jane looked like a surprised rabbit.
“Now, teacher, I will tell you the sound of your heart. You must prick up your ears and listen carefully.”
“yes!”
Choi Ki-seok put the stethoscope inside the hem of his clothes and placed a stethoscope on the heart area.
Soon, Jane looked at the stethoscope and Choi Ki-seok alternately with a curious look on her face.
“Sir. I hear a thumping sound. Very clearly.”
“You know why doctors use stethoscopes, right?”
‘what?’
Jenny smiled bitterly as she watched Jane and Choi Ki-seok.
Jane’s happiness is her own happiness, so why is this moment so uncomfortable?
I feel like a stone has landed on my chest.
“Jane. Let’s go.”
“Mom, can’t I play with you a little more?”
“no.”
Jenny said clearly and left the treatment room while holding Jane’s hand.
Did you say Kiseok Choi?
You are an unpleasant person for some reason.
You will get the lowest score on the doctor’s evaluation.
After leaving the treatment room, Jenny rested in her guest room and then moved back to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was crowded with people.
People sitting at the table were chatting with their companions, and MHC staff were standing in a large circle outside the banquet hall.
A lecture, one of MHC’s official schedules, was being prepared.
After a while, a large screen was installed on one wall of the banquet hall, and Choi Ki-seok took the podium.
“Nice to meet all the gentlemen who participated in the MHC Cruise examination. This is Ki-Seok Choi, a thoracic surgeon in training.”
* * *
Choi Ki-seok looked down at the audience and continued.
“It is a great honor to meet you all in such a nice place on such a nice day. I think the topic of interest for everyone here is health.”
“….”
“There is a saying that if you lose money, you have lost a little, but if you lose your health, you have lost everything. In light of that saying, you are truly wise people. Through the MHC Cruise Checkup, you have two healthy bodies and minds. “Because we caught all the rabbits.”
“Hey. If someone sees you, they’ll think you’re an instructor, right?”
“Did Mr. Choi really speak that well?
Several doctors whispered quietly as Choi Ki-seok naturally led the mood.
Meanwhile, the wrinkles on Parker’s forehead deepened.
“The topic of today’s lecture is, of course, related to health. As MHC has strengths in thoracic surgery, I would like to share some knowledge about heart health and lung health.” When
Ki-Seok Choi pressed the pointer, the PPT screen changed and an image of a heart appeared.
“This is the heart you all know so well. By the way, does anyone know what role the heart plays?”
Hearing his words, a man raised his hand.
“Yes. There’s a man with a nice mustache. Can you explain?”
“As the heart moves, blood is supplied to the entire body.”
“Yes. you’re right. Then do you know how many times a person’s heart beats in a lifetime?”
“A lifetime? Uhm….”
The man continued, wiping his chin.
“About 100 million times?”
“Use what you already have, a little more.”
The audience burst into laughter at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“As expected. ‘Good thing I applied the jelly.’
Choi Ki-seok smiled happily at the audience’s reaction.
The words he just said did not come out of his own sense, but came out of his mouth automatically.
Applying jelly in advance had a great effect.
“Then 500 million won . Burn?”
“You underestimate the power of the heart. The heart beats roughly 2 billion times in a lifetime.”
“2 billion?”
“Yes. It is known that the number of beats is 2 billion and the amount of blood circulating is about 108 million liters. So the heart can be seen as a more dynamic organ than any other organ in the human body.”
Ki-Seok Choi sat the man down and continued,
“The heart plays a role that goes beyond what you can imagine. Of course, you should pay attention to your heart health on a daily basis, right?”
“Yes!”
“That’s right.”
The audience responded with a kiss or nodded.
“Now, let’s start talking about heart health in earnest. This may be advice you’ve heard so hard that it doesn’t stick to your ears, but on the other hand, it also means that it’s just as important. It’s not for nothing that they say the truth is simple.”
“….”
“First of all, let me tell you about smoking. The answer to the basic question of why you smoke is because of nicotine. Nicotine wakes you up and suppresses hunger. It also produces adrenaline and dopamine, which increase alertness,”
Ki-Seok Choi continued, scanning the audience.
“But there is a double-edged sword in everything. “If you inhale nicotine regularly, it narrows your blood vessels and increases LDL, which is called bad cholesterol,”
Ki-seok Choi continued.
He used various examples to inform people about the harmful effects of cigarettes and the need to quit smoking. He
continued by saying that drinking and obesity are harmful to the heart. He explained his role.
Expressing rich emotions and giving a lecture that elicits a response from the audience.
Due to this, the audience was quickly immersed in Choi Ki-seok. Even
the same story is received differently depending on who delivers it and how.
This truth was demonstrated firsthand. “
The next topic is food. This is something we miss a lot in our daily lives, but we can see a lot of results just by improving our eating habits.” “….”
”
I will tell you about four major foods that are good for the heart. First of all, nuts such as almonds and peanuts are foods that contain a lot of plant sterols and stanols. Second, foods rich in dietary fiber include beans and whole grains. Dietary fiber has the effect of suppressing bad cholesterol called LDL…”
Choi Ki-seok recommended foods that are good for the heart and moved on to the next topic.
“Finally, I will explain exercise. There is no need to think about exercise in a grand way, just light jogging can have great results.” ”
Teacher. I’m so tired when I come home from work. It’s hard to even go out for a jog. What should I do in times like this?”
An audience member raised his hand and asked.
Choi Ki-seok held back his mouth from twitching. If he
said what the humor and speech jelly told him to do, he felt like his whole body was going to explode with embarrassment.
What should I do with this?
But I’m worried . While I was doing this, my mouth started moving uncontrollably.
“Actually, there is a very good exercise for that. “It’s a very good exercise that can help you grow your marital bond.”
“….”
“Everyone, have sex!”
Choi Ki-seok said as if he were spitting out a word.
