Hectic schedule (3)
“I have no reason to refuse.”
“For the first time, you’re saying something you like. “I’ve already thought about what an Asian Rambo would be like.”
Surprisingly, Kwon Il-soo and Benson readily accepted the offer.
Thanks to Choi Ki-seok’s suggestion, an opportunity has come for them to fuck each other.
Let’s say an MHC professor imitates Rambo during a morning meeting.
That was enough to make me feel like I was kicking the blankets for the rest of my life.
“I don’t plan on going through this rashly, so you’d better be prepared.”
“That’s what I want to say.”
“Since you two have given permission, I will decide on the scope of your improvement. The patient’s sternum is currently 10 millimeters across. If it grows to 28 millimeters in the next three weeks, I will consider your symptoms to have improved… Do you both agree?”
“That’s enough.”
“Even if it increases by just 10 millimeters from its current state, it would be a miracle.”
Although the two people spoke in different voices, the conclusion was that they would accept Choi Ki-seok’s proposal.
“It’s been a long time since we had a fun event.”
Yasada, who had been silent, joined the conversation.
“I will be the notary in this case. “I know it won’t be fun for either of us if we don’t follow the results.”
“great.”
“I’m just grateful that the Head Chief is stepping forward.”
With this, Kwon Il-soo’s battle with Benson came to an end.
As soon as Benson left after finishing what he had to say, Kwon Il-soo also left the office. It seems that he didn’t want to continue the conversation with Yasada because his feelings were hurt.
“Was the arbitration amazing?”
A smile appeared on Yasada’s lips.
“ha ha ha. In fact, I did not intend to mediate, but to trouble Professor Benson.”
“Operations?”
“The pulmonary valve stenosis case is still left behind.”
“That means… I have 100% confidence in Dr. Kwon’s surgery.”
“yes. There is no need to be reluctant just because it is an unfamiliar surgical method. “If there were two heavens, the person imitating Rambo would be Professor Benson.”
Choi Ki-seok answered confidently.
I already used the Eye of Hippocrates on Kelly after the surgery.
Of course, the progress is good.
This is evidence that insertion of the retractor was well suited to the purpose of the surgery.
If you calmly expand your sternum in the future, you will see good results right away.
“By the way, have you heard that the EOB evaluation is over?”
“yes. “I heard it from Professor Kwon.”
“I can’t believe MHC won first place… Now I can sleep with my legs stretched out.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not just me. Everyone had a hard time. But why do I feel sorry for Meijo Thoracic Surgery?”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that part. Maybe Meijo Thoracic Surgery thinks like this? “I beat myself.”
“I beat myself?”
Yasada tilted his head.
“It is because MHC that the Meijo Thoracic Surgery staff became independent. “If you think about it, I beat myself.”
“That’s an interesting thing to say.”
“It was something a famous Korean comedian said, and it just happened to fit the right situation.”
“A new personal CS section has been added to the EOB evaluation. “Each hospital selects the best employee, and Mr. Choi was selected.”
“My… me?”
Choi Ki-seok was so surprised that he stuttered.
“Best employee… isn’t that too much of a title?”
“The American Association of Thoracic Surgeons is famous for being strict. There would be no way to give an award without a reason. “They say there will be an awards ceremony next week, so let’s go and see it.”
“All right.”
After a moment of silence, Choi Ki-seok opened his mouth.
“Head Chief. “I have one question.”
“what?”
“I once told you about a man named Oliver who achieved the world’s first triple board in thoracic surgery. “Can I get his contact information?”
“There’s no reason not to. “I’ll send it to you via text message.”
“thank you.”
Choi Ki-seok talked with Yasada some more and then left the office.

At the end of work the next day.
Choi Ki-seok gathered with his colleagues at Uiguk and talked about the team’s upcoming visit to next week.
Mitral valve replacement performed solely by team CPR personnel.
Feeling that weight, my colleagues each studied hard and shared their opinions about the surgery.
“If everything goes as we said, it will be perfect.”
Charles said, rubbing his chin, followed by Emma, who opened her mouth.
“It will definitely happen. Preparations for unexpected situations are almost complete. “Have you heard any news from other teams?”
“Team Heartbeat finished the surgery thirty minutes ago. He was a mitral valve replacement patient like us, and he didn’t seem to have any problems. “I happened to run into a classmate there, and he was so sassy…”
“Even if it’s the same surgery, isn’t the difficulty level much higher for us?”
Jeremy shrugged.
“Looking at the team heartbeat patient, the stenosis wasn’t that severe? “It’s not a combination of other diseases.”
“Professor Benson couldn’t have passed on a difficult patient.”
“But if you’re going to get hit, it’s better if it hurts. Then, most surgeries in the future will be no problem.”
Choi Ki-seok, who had been silent, joined the conversation.
“That is also true. what. “We have the best residents on earth, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
“Aren’t you kidding me?”
“About half?”
Charles chuckled.
“Have you heard about Charles Darafrate? “The tutor said they decided to cut the price of AIDS treatment in half.”
“I heard. I don’t know what that person suddenly got into. what. There is no change in the fact that it is trash. For your information, there are still too many pharmaceutical companies that should be screwed.”
“I’m worried about who can handle the pharmaceutical company’s problems and how. really.”
Emma also looked worried.
As time passed, the work day came to an end.
In Uiguk, where his classmates left, only Choi Ki-seok remained.
Ki-seok Choi leaned back against the back of his chair and looked up at the ceiling.
The request for chart viewing at the medical records office has not yet been approved.
Thanks to this, the task of following Benson was pushed back.
‘There will be a decision sooner or later.’
Without realizing it, my hands felt tense.
If we reveal the truth hidden behind the unexpected death of Jenny’s husband, Ben.
What if the Rambo show is played at the morning meeting sometime soon?
Benson will probably want to leave MHC on his own.
It’s like getting double the compensation for delaying Jamie’s surgery.
His brain cells, which had been wandering around with various thoughts, eventually became concentrated in one place.
That place is the teacher’s new surgery.
Partial transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
The teacher’s surgical method can save more patients, but it has the disadvantage of being difficult and requiring a long surgery time.
On the other hand, Charlotte’s surgical method lowers the level of difficulty and significantly reduces the surgical time, but has the disadvantage of narrowing the scope of the surgery.
It would be great if the two could be complemented…
Choi Ki-seok thought over and over again to find a better solution.
Previously, there were no concerns about surgery.
I simply focused on perfecting the teacher’s method. However, now was the time to change my thinking and find the best surgical method for myself.
Ride, ride, ride.
Ki-Seok Choi researched papers on heart failure and cardiomyopathy. The more the better, the more medical knowledge there is, the better.
How much time has passed?
I woke up to the vibration I felt in the gown.
‘Ah…’
The moment I took out my phone and checked the number, a smile automatically appeared on my face.
“Sulhwa! I was already thinking about you. “It’s absolutely amazing.”
[Tch! Do not lie to me. Because you know that’s not the case?]
“It’s because you don’t know. “Even these days, whenever I sleep, I dream of going on a date with you.”
[If you can’t even say something, you’ll be hated.]
Jeong Seol-hwa chuckled and continued.
[How are you these days? Are you still busy?]
“It’s a little difficult, but it’s worth it. There’s a lot to learn. Oh. Did I tell you that Professor Kwon came to MHC?”
[Are you Professor Kwon Il-soo? You were on the Norwood team before, right?]
“That’s right. “Professor Song brought me here after much trouble.”
[oh. Great. Professor Kwon is an authority on pediatric cardiology. There was still little news, so I was wondering if something bad had happened.]
“But I also had June Syndrome surgery today.”
[You must have had a hard time. That’s not a normal surgery.]
Choi Ki-seok felt his heart warm as Jeong Seol-hwa’s words filled with warm concern.
I have worked hard since my previous life with the determination to become the best thoracic surgeon with a heart for patients.
Of course, the road was never smooth.
I have been struggling with many patients and their caregivers, clashing with other staff.
It was always Jeong Seol-hwa who embraced and embraced him during his difficult journey.
Without her love and consideration, I would have collapsed long ago on the way here.
Choi Ki-seok has thought about that often recently.
[I wish I could fly in that direction. Then you might be able to cheer up a little.]
“I am grateful, but just hearing your voice is enough. “I can do a million and twenty-one push-ups right now.”
[fool. Don’t overdo it.]
“I miss you, baby.”
[me too. There will be a summer vacation soon, and I will go to New York.]
“You can look forward to it. New York is a place that cannot be compared to Minnesota. “There are plenty of places to go on dates.”
[huh. I want to go quickly.]
Choi Ki-seok continued the conversation with Jeong Seol-hwa.
It was good even if there was no special topic.
I was happy just talking about small things, such as what was on the menu for dinner, what patient I saw today, how other colleagues were doing, etc.
Most of our daily lives are made up of these little things.
So, there is no need to find a special topic to talk about.
Or perhaps, these trivial stories play a role in strengthening our sense of kinship with each other.
Other people are no different from me.
However, when the conversation was at its peak, the doctor’s phone started beeping loudly.
[You got a call.]
“Anyway, this damn emergency room has no clue.”
[are you okay. It’s been a while since I had a cool phone call. Take good care of the patient.]
“I’ll contact you later when I have some free time.”
[huh. I love you.]
Jeong Seol-hwa’s shy confession made my ears tickle.
In addition, the chest is turning pink.
He felt intuitively that his love for her had not changed and would not change in the future.
“I love you too.”
Choi Ki-seok hung up the phone and picked up the phone.
[teacher. It’s an emergency room. The patient says he feels chest tightness and nausea. He said it felt like something was stuck in his throat. The endoscopy results just came out, and there was a mussel shell stuck in my esophagus.]
“I’ll go down right away.”
Choi Ki-seok hurried to the emergency room.
“Teacher, here we are!”
The intern who discovered Choi Ki-seok became busy with his hands.
Choi Ki-seok urgently took a seat next to the patient and examined him.
The patient was receiving intravenous fluids and was constantly turning his body from side to side with a frown on his face.
“My name is Ki-Seok Choi, a thoracic surgeon. Where are you most uncomfortable right now?”
