Attack of the Residents (6)
“Ah….”
Choi Ki-seok looked at the article that appeared on the screen and burst out laughing.
[The price of Daraprate will be reduced by 50 percent from the current price.]
[Tutor’s unconventional decision! Will there be a new path for AIDS patients?]
[Tutor who took medication. Have you finally come to your senses?]
[I don’t want to be criticized anymore for this unlikable man’s unconventional decision.]
Even if the price of medicine is cut in half, the fact that he is profiteering does not change. However, many people found it significant that the tutor took a step back.
“I was surprised when I saw the article. “I thought he was someone who wouldn’t change even if the sky rose from the west.”
“It seems he had a hard time withstanding the title of the nation’s unfavorable man. In Korea, there is a saying that if you are criticized, you will live a long time, but living a long life while being criticized is not a very pleasant thing.”
“That makes sense.”
Leon nodded and put his cell phone in his robe.
While we were talking, the cruise ship was approaching its final destination, the Hudson River pier.
The journey of two days and one night, with a lot of talk and many hardships, was coming to an end.
* * *
A few hours later.
A bus carrying MHC staff arrived at the parking lot.
“Everyone worked hard. The vice hospital director has granted a half-day vacation to all staff who participated in today’s checkup, so please rest well today. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“nice! “Off, off.”
“We already went through a lot of trouble because of the fire, so there should be compensation like this.”
The staff left the room one by one.
After returning to the dormitory, Ki-Seok Choi finished packing his luggage, took a shower, and visited the thoracic surgery ward.
There was a lot of work to be done.
There was no time to relax like other staff members.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I opened the door and entered the medical office, but my colleagues were nowhere to be seen.
They seem to be busy with scrubs, managing patients in the ward, and treating patients in the emergency room.
Choi Ki-seok, who was sitting on a chair, first searched for Ben.
Jenny’s husband, whom she met on the cruise ship, and the man who passed away from Benson’s Maze surgery.
‘what?’
His eyebrows shot up to the sky.
Unusually, Ben’s chart was locked.
In addition, a message popped up saying that special permissions were needed to view it.
This is my first time experiencing it.
Was it possible to put a lock on the chart?
A deepening question.
The inference that Ben’s death was suspicious was now turning into certainty.
“Mr. Choi. came?”
When I turned my head, Emma was coming this way, waving her hand.
“Nice to meet you, Emma. “Nothing happened in the ward, right?”
“If anything, it would have been worse than the cruise ship, right? “I heard there was a fire on the cruise last night?”
“It was a terrible thing. “It was fortunate that no one was injured even though the fire burned down half the cabin.”
“You did something else there too? It’s good to save people, but you also have to take care of yourself. “Don’t think that luck will be by Mr. Choi’s side forever.”
Emma said with a worried expression.
This refers to the incident where he rushed into the fire scene to save Jane.
“Thank you for your concern. “I will refrain from doing so from now on.”
“yes. Please do so. “My worry is that it’s expensive.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
Smiles appeared on the lips of both people.
“But are you going to work as soon as you arrive? “I heard that these staff members received special leave.”
“ha ha ha. I have no time to rest. Emma, do you know why this is?”
As his index finger pointed to the monitor, Emma looked at it closely.
“Sometimes there are charts that restrict viewing like this. “They put a lock on charts that are problematic or have had problems.”
“So this means that a locked chart could be problematic?”
“I can’t say it’s 100 percent, but it’s highly likely.”
“How did Emma check which chart was locked?”
“You have to apply for access to the medical records room separately. “Most people accept it if it is for research or treatment purposes.”
“Hmm… I see.”
Emma tilted her head at Choi Ki-seok’s meaningful reaction.
“Is there anything wrong with this patient?”
“well. “We have to find out now.”
“If it’s just a guess, I don’t think the medical records room will accept my request to view it…”
“I’ll handle it myself from here on out. “I have a feeling it won’t be fun if Emma gets involved.”
“also. also. also. Whatever it is, give up the idea of handling it alone. “Companions are not there for decoration!”
“I know, Emma.”
Choi Ki-seok gazed at her with gentle eyes.
“This is a very personal matter and I just don’t want to get involved. “You understand how I feel, right?”
“…sorry. “I’m so fired up for no reason.”
Emma paused before continuing.
“I’ve had that feeling from Mr. Choi for a long time. Does it feel like you are trying to carry all the luggage in the hospital by yourself? It was like that when I was operating on a patient with pulmonary artery stenosis…”
“I was so excited at the time. “Anyway, I’ll take Emma’s advice to heart.”
“yes.”
After the conversation, there was silence for a moment.
Ki-Seok Choi got lost in thought after requesting access to Ben’s medical records.
I wasn’t complaining to Emma for no reason, I really had a lot of work to do.
So, I decided to organize my tasks step by step.
The first task is to improve the teacher’s new surgery.
The surgical method taught by my teacher and the surgical method of French female doctor Charlotte.
It was necessary to combine these two to complete the surgery.
The second task is to meet Oliver.
Oliver is Yasada’s mentor and the world’s first triple board thoracic surgeon.
I wanted to meet him and get some advice on achieving a triple board.
Coincidentally, I also received a related mission.
The last step is to successfully complete Team CPR’s first surgery.
‘Then I see you haven’t seen the patient yet.’
Choi Ki-seok slapped his knee and stood up.
At that moment, Miguel was coming into the medical office.
“Hello, Miguel.”
“Good. I already had work to do. “Sit there.”
Choi Ki-seok and Miguel sat down and stared at each other.
As both sides had antipathy toward the other, their gazes collided and a tense atmosphere prevailed.
‘I finally caught the number of cases. ‘I’ll make it so that you can’t even remove your bones.’
Miguel gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
The reason he joined Team CPR was to destroy Team CPR.
He was saved by Benson because he was recognized for his ability(?) to catch juniors like catching mice. However, after joining, I was unable to make even a small dent in team CPR.
No matter how much I punished my teammates, they didn’t take any damage.
What was even more absurd was that Miguel was actually stressed out during the process.
[I’ll give you just one more month. If you can’t break Team CPR by then, I’ll send you back to the branch.]
Remembering Benson’s ultimatum he received yesterday, Miguel clenched his fists.
There is no place to retreat anymore.
“If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. “I was just about to do a patient round.”
“You have a very impatient personality. I watched the news this morning. “I heard you jumped into the fire scene bare-handed to save the passengers?”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Miguel continued speaking with an expression of arrogance.
“The role of a doctor is to treat patients. It’s not like jumping into a fire. What on earth were you thinking when you did such a stupid thing? huh? Do you think that just because you do well at MHC, you become the main character in a movie?”
“….”
“Your actions were extremely reckless. “It was a shame because the results were good. If it wasn’t, I would have felt disciplinary action.”
Miguel looked at Choi Ki-seok’s expression and smiled.
Perhaps because of the wind today, the handsome resident couldn’t say anything.
Perhaps he realizes that his actions were foolish?
“If you have a mouth, say it. huh?”
“Aren’t those words too harsh? Because of Mr. Choi, the child survived. Moreover, it’s not like the vice hospital director or others scolded Mr. Choi for his actions.”
“So, Emma, you’re saying my words don’t sound like words?”
“I… I didn’t mean that. “I wonder if it would be of much significance to point it out now…”
“Of course there is!”
Miguel cut her off mid-sentence in a loud voice.
“If you act recklessly like this from now on, you might catch the patient someday. “It means that a doctor who is supposed to save people can kill them.”
“….”
“Why couldn’t you speak earlier? “Have you hit the nail on the head and have nothing to say?”
Miguel said, showing off his triumphant appearance.
“sorry. From now on, I won’t be as foolish as I was then. Just say an apology. Then, I will move on from this matter with great generosity.”
“Miguel. “That’s…”
“Emma is missing. “This is a problem that Mr. Choi and I will solve.”
Emma gritted her teeth at Miguel’s yelling.
Miguel is tough on discipline, and Choi Ki-seok is someone who doesn’t even talk once.
The confrontation between the two people was as sharp as an awl.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Miguel’s eyes widened at Choi Ki-seok’s first words.
“What… what?”
“Is it foolish to save people? “Then all the people on this earth who do righteous things must be foolish.”
“Don’t obscure the point. “That’s not what I meant.”
Miguel’s face turned bright red.
When arguing, it is important to suppress emotions and calmly corner the other person.
He was so good at it that he earned the nickname “low-level killer.”
However, strangely, I was unable to maintain my composure when dealing with Choi Ki-seok.
Even though we only exchanged a few words, my stomach started to boil.
“If we get to the point, Miguel won’t be able to handle me… will you mind though?”
“You call it a pierced mouth.”
“Is that really true? In the first place, you have no right to discuss my actions. “Who are you to criticize my behavior?”
“….”
“Did my actions harm you? “If there is any damage as small as a fingernail, I will apologize politely.”
Miguel became dumbfounded by Choi Ki-seok’s criticism.
“Isn’t the United States a liberal democracy? “My actions didn’t harm anyone, so I don’t know why I have to listen to useless admonitions.”
“You bastard! “Don’t feel proud just because you saved someone’s life.”
“Now you’re showing your true colors, right? Actually, you were jealous of me being in the spotlight. “Am I right?”
“Hey! A resident who doesn’t even have a haircut dares me…”
“I hope you show me an example befitting Miguel’s rank. “The role of the fellow is not to control the resident, but to guide the direction of treatment and treatment.”
Choi Ki-seok stood up as if he had said everything he wanted to say.
“Where are you going? “Sit back!”
“Your memory is like that of a chicken. Did you forget what I just said? “You have no power to force me.”
“If you leave this position, I will hand you over to the disciplinary committee. You deserve to be punished for your recklessness in jumping into the fire scene. “It’s not a joke, so you’d better think about it carefully.”
“Are you trying to scare me because it doesn’t work out? For me to be punished, someone has to die because of my actions. But unfortunately that went over the water.”
“….”
“Ah. really. “There’s only one way to fuck me.”
Choi Ki-seok passed by Miguel with a wry smile.
“I think it would be a good idea to develop a time machine. “You’re going to turn back time to the scene of the fire and make it so I can’t save the child. Would you like to try?”
