(2) “First,
administer blood and fluids to the mother. “I will take care of the rest.”
Choi Ki-seok hurriedly looked at the uterus inside the incision.
Isn’t Obeid Hospital already running low on blood?
If the cause is not found and resolved, the mother is at risk.
Using the dragon’s eye zoom-in mode, he searched the inside of the womb. There are two major causes of postpartum hemorrhage: one is birth canal laceration and the second is uterine rupture.
There was a high possibility that one of the two would have been missed during surgery.
In the midst of tense tension, Choi Ki-seok’s voice saying that he had been found spread refreshingly.
There was a second-degree laceration in the uterine isthmus, which was in the blind area of the surgical field of view.
The cause of the bleeding was right there.
“Mr. Choi. “They say there is only one pack of blood that matches the mother’s blood.”
“All right. Needle holder 3-0 prolene.”
“Here it is.”
Choi Ki-seok received treatment tools from the disinfection nurse and began sewing up the laceration.
Simple interrupted sutures that progress at lightning speed.

Every time he cut the completed knot, his eyes stayed on the blood pack. Every time a drop of blood fell, the blood in my entire body dried up.
“Please administer additional oxytonin. “Harlent, please apply pressure to the upper part of the laceration.”
“all right.”
The laceration area was sutured with prompt follow-up treatment.
After confirming that the bleeding had stopped, the staff sighed in relief as if they had made a promise to each other.
The blood on the operating table had run out. If the bleeding had not been stopped, the patient’s life was at risk.
Additionally, if a hysterectomy had been performed, the patient may never have children again.
It is as if we have narrowly passed a dangerous juncture.
“Dr. Choi. Are you a thoracic surgeon? “First aid was like lightning?”
“I’ve been studying since yesterday because I was worried something like this would happen. Fortunately, a solution came to mind at a critical moment.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled and checked the vitals of mother Aisha.
As the bleeding stopped, breathing, blood pressure, temperature, and pulse returned to normal levels. There was no longer any sign of panic, screaming or trembling.
“Everything… Dr. Choi. “Are you okay now?”
As soon as Choi Ki-seok took off the ventilator, Aisha opened her mouth.
“I had uterine bleeding, but it has resolved now.”
“oh. thank god. “Can I see my baby?”
“Sure. Serena.”
At his words, Serena, the disinfection nurse, handed the child wrapped in a towel to Aisha, and Ki-Seok Choi examined them both with the eyes of Hippocrates.
‘What is this again?’
Deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead.
* * *
The work day was almost over.
Choi Ki-seok, who was in the clinic, was looking through obstetrics and gynecology books with his eyes lit up.
The surgery was completed successfully, but one problem remained.
This is because the child Aisha gave birth to suffered from congenital hyperthyroidism.
If this is not done properly, the newborn’s intelligence will decline and growth problems may occur, so additional prescriptions are needed.
“You mean I have to use L-thyroxine?”
Crash.
His hands that were typing the prescription suddenly lost momentum.
The medication needed for treatment was not available at Obeid Hospital at this time.
I had no choice but to contact the staff in charge of NSF drug management and ask them to quickly obtain the drug.
Choi Ki-seok leaned against the back of his chair and looked up at the ceiling.
Obeid Hospital was in short supply of all treatment supplies, including blood.
As a result, diseases that could be easily treated in the United States or Korea became a great threat to patients.
Didn’t today’s surgery suddenly lead to an emergency due to lack of blood?
There is truth to the saying that circumstances make a person.
As the rain poured steadily, the hospital fell into a sweet peace for a long time. Patients rarely visited the treatment room, and there were no emergencies in the hospital room.
Among them, Choi Ki-seok accumulated knowledge by reading major books in various departments.
The doctor needed here is not a thoracic surgeon, but an all-round doctor who can provide all treatments.
Drurr.
As I left the treatment room to go to the bathroom, I saw Abna dozing like a chicken. You must be very tired because you had emergency surgery by midnight today and went back to work.
Choi Ki-seok watched her with pitiful eyes and then went into the bathroom.
“Dr. Choi. “It just worked out well.”
Nareka, who I met at the bathroom door, greeted me warmly.
“I’m sorry, but can you help me with the drain work? “It’s going to rain until dawn tomorrow, so I think we’ll have to dig the drainage a little deeper.”
“There’s no reason not to.”
“Stay in front of the hospital door. “I’ll gather other people and come.”
While Choi Ki-seok was waiting, Nareka appeared with six staff members.
Among them were Jeong Seol-hwa and Anton.
“Why on earth does a doctor have to do such a chore?”
Anton crossed his arms and complained.
Anton was the person who got into a fight with Choi Ki-seok some time ago when he sent Abna to run an errand for coffee.
“It’s because we don’t have enough people. Please understand.”
“no. Do you think I became a doctor to dig ditches? “My job is to take care of patients.”
“….”
“Aren’t Anton’s words too harsh?”
Jeong Seol-hwa stepped forward to replace Nareka, who could not say anything.
“What does that mean? “Did I say something wrong?”
“This is not the hospital you worked at. “What you’re saying right now only sounds like you know clearly that the hospital environment is poor, but you’re trying to pretend not to know.”
“no. So, Miss Jeong became a doctor to dig drainage ditches? “It’s not.”
“that’s right. I didn’t become a doctor to dig drainage ditches. “But is there a law prohibiting doctors from digging drainage ditches?”
Jeong Seol-hwa continued speaking rapidly.
“Anton talks as if being a doctor is a God-given profession. Don’t get me wrong. “We are people before doctors.”
“….”
“And if we can prevent flooding through drainage work, wouldn’t that also help inpatients and outpatients? “Stop feeling like a bandit.”
“what the. “There is an abundance of nonsense.”
“I beg your pardon? “Did you just say nonsense?”
Sparks flew from Jeong Seol-hwa’s eyes.
Anton, perhaps shocked by her fierce attitude, started walking while avoiding Jeong Seol-hwa’s gaze.
“Tsk! “You can do it if you do it.”
He left the hospital wearing a raincoat and holding a shovel in one hand.
“What is all that? “The next time I get caught, I really won’t let you go.”
“Thank you, Dr. Jeong.”
Nareka, who was watching the situation, cried out.
“Thanks to Dr. Jeong for giving me this, I feel relieved.”
“There is nothing to be thankful for. Actually, it’s natural. From now on, if that person does something unsightly, please tell me. “I’ll scold you.”
“I feel reassured just by hearing what you say.”
“Then shall we go to work soon?”
Choi Ki-seok changed the topic and placed his hand on Jeong Seol-hwa’s shoulder.
She is his woman after all, as she has no mercy for such a meek person.
Shoot.
Drainage work began amidst non-stop rain.
Ki-seok Choi, along with other staff members, dug deeper into the drainage ditch surrounding the hospital.
It felt special to do physical labor outdoors after always seeing patients at the hospital.
It feels like playing rather than working.
It was a refreshing stimulus.
However, a smile soon appeared on his face as he worked.
Jeong Seol-hwa was intentionally shoveling next to Anton.
Her shoveling was fast and deep, comparable to that of most men, and the whole time she was shoveling, she opened her mouth as if to make Anton listen.
“Why are men so weak?”
“It’s true that it’s Doctor Anton, but I don’t think it’s a man. “I’m not as good at shoveling.”
Anton’s work speed increased as he continued to pursue orthodox painting.
Although he seemed indifferent to what she said, he actually seemed to be quite concerned.
As Jeong Seol-hwa whipped Anton (?), all the staff began to work hard and diligently to repair the drainage ditch.
After working for about an hour, a satisfactory result was produced.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Everyone worked hard.”
As the staff dispersed, Ki-Seok Choi and Seol-Hwa Jeong stayed behind and helped Nareka clean up after herself.
“This is my job….”
“We worked together, but we also have to clean up after ourselves together.”
Nareka burst into laughter at Jeong Seol-hwa’s words.
“Dr. Jeong is a truly wonderful woman. I envy Dr. Choi. “I can’t believe I signed a contract with someone like this.”
“I think about that all the time.”
“really? “As expected, this is our honey.”
Nareka, who was watching the two people pouring out sesame seeds, soon turned her gaze away from them.
I thought that if I was envious, I would lose.
As the work was over and the two of them cleaned up, they immediately returned to the dormitory.
The first thing Choi Ki-seok did after returning was to check his emails on his laptop.
“come!”
“huh? what?”
“I sent an email to a newtuber and got a reply.”
Choi Ki-seok made a fuss and pointed to the email reply with his index finger.
In the past, while training at MHC, a code black occurred in the emergency room.
The situation ended with Choi Ki-seok taking the lead, and a newtuber who happened to receive a diamond button filmed the incident.
The newtuber that Choi Ki-seok contacted was that newtuber.
The newtuber’s name is PewdieKai.
Although he hosts a broadcast specializing in gaming, he sometimes uploads videos of his daily life.
[Nice to meet you. Doctor Choi. First of all, the answer to the question of whether I still remember Dr. Choi is, of course, yes. The way you looked in the emergency room was like a general leading a battlefield. I also checked out articles about you from time to time. It’s late, but congratulations on becoming a triple board thoracic surgeon.]
…[The intention to expose the poor environment of South Sudan through New Tube seems excellent. I also support this and would like to provide Dr. Choi with as much help as possible. Looking at the email, it looks like you’re having a hard time editing the video, but you don’t have to worry about that. If you do the editing yourself, it takes a long time and is difficult to direct.]
…[I would like to introduce you to Eddie, who is in charge of editing my videos. This guy can definitely make even a boring video fantastic. So please take a video and contact this guy. The editing cost may be high, but if you are the majority shareholder of MHC, it will be no problem.]
…[Please contact me as soon as you start the channel. I will add a link so that subscribers to my channel can view Dr. Choi’s channel. Although I can only speak for myself, I think you will be able to at least get to the gold button with ease. PewdieKai hopes that Dr. Choi’s heart will reach many people.]
“Wow. Amazing, Great. “If someone like this promotes it…”
Jeong Seol-hwa, who searched PewdieKai, couldn’t hide his excitement.
“okay. Things turned out better than I expected. “I just need to have a good concept for the video and film it.”
“I will work hard too.”
While the two people were burning with enthusiasm, a knock was heard.
When Choi Ki-seok opened the door, Abna appeared with a pale complexion.
“Dr. Choi. “Is the time okay?”
