Obeid Hospital (1)
Choi Ki-seok was able to deliver normal medicine only after arguing with the patient for a long time.
Of course, the patient expressed his dissatisfaction with a disapproving face until the end.
Through this incident, he realized.
Patients without pharmaceutical knowledge may misunderstand the efficacy of the drug based on its color and size.
As time passed, the number of patients gradually decreased.
Among them, some left after seeing treatment, while others left because the waiting period was long.
The last patient on the circuit was a boy who appeared to be in his mid-teens.
The moment Choi Ki-seok faced the child, he realized something.
This child is a little different from other children.
Unlike the children he encountered who usually suffered from despair, the child’s eyes gave off a bright light.
In short, should I say that he is a child with a will to live.
“Where are you hurting?”
“I’m not sick anywhere.”
Surprisingly, the child was the only one among the villagers who spoke English.
Not only Choi Ki-seok but also Jeong Seol-hwa seemed surprised by this.
“So is anyone in your family sick?”
“Not even that.”
Ki-Seok Choi felt strong curiosity from the sight of the child shaking his head vigorously.
I wondered why I came to see a doctor if I wasn’t sick.
“I want to become a doctor like you. “How can I become a doctor?”
Not only Choi Ki-seok but also Jeong Seol-hwa and Nareka were amazed by the child’s bold question.
Aren’t the people here having a hard time just opening their eyes and going to sleep?
However, the boy had a dream in his heart to become a doctor.
Is a dragon about to be born in a stream?
It couldn’t have been unexpected.
“I think Nareka should give me the answer this time?”
“That’s right. “What is your name?”
“Baduyo.”
“Are you going to school by any chance?”
“yes.”
“Thank goodness.
Nareka’s expression softened at Badu’s answer.
The educational environment in Sudan was not very good.
There were many children who could not even receive compulsory education, and the illiteracy rate was high as a result. Opportunities to receive higher education were as slim as passing a camel through the eye of a needle.
“First of all, stick to your school studies. “If you study well, you can receive support from the Red Cross and study to be a doctor abroad.”
“Really?”
“of course. “As long as you don’t lose your passion, I won’t be responsible for supporting your education.”
“yes! “Then I guess I should study English harder.”
“It will probably be helpful if you prepare in advance.”
As the warm conversation continued, Choi Ki-seok asked Badu a question.
The question is why did you decide to become a doctor?
“I was very sick once when I was very young. At that time, an Asian doctor like you treated me. “His name was probably Taesik Lee.”
In response to Badu’s question, Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa looked at each other without saying who should go first.
The late Father Lee Tae-sik.
He is known as Korea’s Schweitzer and touched the hearts of many people through his medical services in Sudan.
Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa also saw a documentary depicting his life and were moved to tears by Father Lee Tae-sik’s noble spirit of service.
“Badhu. If you need anything to study, tell the teacher. “I’ll take care of it during my next medical visit.”
“thank you.”
The tour came to an end with Badu.
The three people got into the jeep and left the village with a relieved heart.
“I mean Badu. “He was a strong kid, just like his name.”
“What does that mean?”
Jeong Seol-hwa tilted her head at Nareka’s words.
“The word badu means a strong person. “Seeing his determination to become a doctor in such a harsh environment makes me even more moved.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a child with such a hard-hearted attitude.”
“So there is still hope in this land.”
Choi Ki-seok said a word and looked at the plain colored by the sunset.
The presence of Lee Tae-sik shook his heart as much as Badu did.
[Mr. Choi or Ms. Choi may have had such an experience. When you see people who dedicate themselves to others, you must have admired them and at times felt teary-eyed.] [
The world is still worth living in because there is a warm heart that thinks and cares for others. NSF is a gathering of people who strive to create such a world worth living in.]
Suddenly, what Neymar said yesterday lingered in my ears.
That is 100 times true.
Isn’t the noble spirit of each person ultimately going to change the world?
Without Father Lee Tae-sik, it is questionable whether Badu would have been able to dream of becoming a doctor.
In this harsh world, it may seem like a foolish thing to do something for others. But Choi Ki-seok never thought that way.
There was no change in my belief that serving others means embracing the world within oneself.
Although I came to Sudan on a short-term mission, I will do my best to comfort the sick people even during that short time.
It will at least catch up to one hundredth of the love that Father Lee Tae-sik delivered here.
I made up my mind.
But at that very moment, the jeep trembled and stopped on the spot.
“The car was spread. “I need to do some maintenance for a moment.”
“yes. “Take your time.”
Nareka got out of the car, opened the bonnet, and inspected the car’s condition, while Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa also got out of the car and looked at the surrounding scenery.
The air was sticky, but a cool breeze caressed my hair.
Just looking at the trees and grass colored by the setting sun felt like the old dirt in my heart was being washed away.
“Do you know that I feel strange?”
“what?”
“You had your first treatment today. But it’s not just the first day, it feels like a week has already passed.”
“Well, the patients weren’t easy.”
“How have you been treating those difficult cases?”
“Because Seolhwa you were next to me.”
At his words, Jeong Seol-hwa’s cheeks turned the color of the setting sun.
The two held each other’s hands in silence for a while and looked at the sunset.
While the friendly atmosphere continued, something came through the bushes and approached us.
The moment they confirmed its identity, the two people’s faces became contemplative.
“Nareka! “Is the car repaired far away?”
“I think it will take a little more time. why?”
“It’s an emergency.”
Chaaeaeang!
Nareka checked the place Choi Ki-seok pointed with his index finger and dropped the spanner on the ground. A lioness was wandering towards us.
“shit! “If anything, it’s this timing… Let’s get in the car first.”
Nareka, who closed the bonnet, got into the driver’s seat, followed by Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa.
Meanwhile, the lioness, who had narrowed the distance, came close to the car. Then, he snooped around the car and looked at the three people with curious eyes.
Of course, from the perspective of the three people, that sight was terrifying.
“Do you often encounter wild animals?”
“It’s a common thing. “It’s the first time my car breaks down.”
“Just wait. “The lion will have no choice but to retreat soon.”
Contrary to what Jeong Seol-hwa said, the lioness did not leave the car.
In the end, he even collapsed in front of the car and blocked its path.
As time passed, the sunset went away and a dark night came.
A look of nervousness that could not be hidden appeared on the faces of the three people.
If things continue like this, you will have to spend the day stuck in a broken down car.
If an elephant attacked, a situation could be created where there was literally no answer.
“I’ll go out for a moment.”
“Dr. Choi. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Absolutely not!”
Narekawa Jeong Seol-hwa strongly opposed Choi Ki-seok’s opinion.
The moment I opened the car door and stepped out, it was as obvious as fire that I would become prey to a lioness.
I couldn’t understand why they wanted to dig their own grave.
“It’s a snowflake. “Trust me just once.”
“What a fool! “I trust you, but I don’t trust that lion!”
“Actually, I knew this would happen so I brought something with me. “The lions say they can’t use this.”
Choi Ki-seok took out a small bottle from the medicine cabinet and sprayed the liquid inside on his body.
“What are you doing?”
“This is a liquid that lions hate. It is said that if you spray this liquid and approach a lion, the lion will get scared and run away. “I saw it on NewTube.”
“Are there any items that even I, a local, don’t know about?”
“Because the world is wide.”
When Choi Ki-seok showed his intention not to back down by circling around, Jeong Seol-hwa also got covered in the liquid.
“If you really want to chase the lion, I’ll go with you.”
“…okay. Instead, stick close behind me.”
“Wait. “What are you two doing!”
Nareka was dizzy when she saw Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa getting out of the car together. Although I have been working with NSF for over ten years, this is the first time I have encountered anything like this.
My mind went blank due to the reckless and crazy actions of the two people.
As the two people got out of the car, the lioness who was blocking the car slowly narrowed the distance.
In the midst of the bloody confrontation, Choi Ki-seok calmly composed himself.
Of course, I didn’t jump out without thinking.
[Animal Lover]
– You were born to be loved. You will receive that love back in your life.
– Title effect: Animals, regardless of species, like you. Automatically gains Rapport Level 1 with every animal you come in contact with.
While looking at the status window, I found the title Animal Lover.
With this title, I was confident that the lioness would not attack first. Moreover, he had a powerful guardian deity called the immortal Carlisle.
There was a basis for deciding to encounter a lioness.
However, it was difficult to convince Jeong Seol-hwa and Nareka of this, so they only brought up strange liquids and NewTube videos.
“What… I’m scared.”
“It’s okay, Seolhwa.”
As Choi Ki-seok was comforting the folktale, a lioness came close and wrinkled her nose. Then, suddenly, he lay down on his stomach and woke up.
It looked exactly like a pet dog playing tricks.
Seeing the lioness’ actions, he relaxed and leaned down to stroke the lioness’s stomach.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The lioness shook her body and seemed to feel his touch. Jeong Seol-hwa and Nareka looked surprised at the unexpected development.
How can that fierce beast be more gentle than a cat?
“Ki… Ki-seok, how did this happen?”
“I told you. “It’ll be okay.”
“They say that liquid is supposed to ward off lions. But it seems like the lion likes you?”
“That’s strange. “It definitely appeared that way on NewTube.”
Ki-seok Choi was looking the other way when he made eye contact with Nareka.
“Nareka. Continue repairs. “I’ll take charge of the lion.”
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“You don’t attack your friend’s friend. “Just as people are like that, so are animals.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… but I’ll give it a try.”
Nareka gathered her courage, got out of the car, and started maintenance again.
Contrary to his worries, the lioness did not even give him a glance. He was just purring and enjoying Choi Ki-seok’s touch.
‘Maybe I was waiting because I wanted to play.’
Choi Ki-seok chuckled and used the Eyes of Hippocrates on the lioness.
Thanks to the title, the first level of Saja and Rapo has been formed.
However, one thing that bothers me is that the diagnosis comes up with lacerations.
While observing the lion, he soon discovered a torn wound near the lioness’ thigh.
It looks like he was injured while hunting.
“It’s a snowflake. “I’m sorry, but could you please bring me a first aid kit?”
