The camera entered the entrance of Sewon Hospital with a familiar background sound.
[Chief Choi Ki-seok, the world’s only triple board thoracic surgeon. Thoracic surgery treatment begins.]
After passing the unfamiliar banner, the camera focused on the Sewon Hospital building for a long time.
Choi Ki-seok was somehow unfamiliar with the Sewon Hospital shown in the video.
It’s a place where I go to work every day, but it feels new to have encountered it through a documentary. Jeong Seol-hwa must have felt the same way, so she let out a single word, ‘Kyaaa’ and hugged him tightly.
[Sewon Hospital. Mornings at Korea’s only cardiology hospital are busier than any other place.]
The narration began and the location changed to the medical office.
The camera zoomed inside the office and then focused on Shim Yong-jun sitting in front of the computer.
“You look tired?”
“Ah yes. “I was on duty yesterday.”
In response to the VJ’s question, Shim Yong-jun continued speaking with a dead look on his face.
“TA, there were several traffic accident patients, and some of the patients in the ward were in critical condition, so I had a hard time all night long.”
“Are there many patients who visit the thoracic surgery clinic at night?”
“Honestly, there aren’t that many, but if they come, they are in critical condition. “That’s why my heart races every time I get a call from the emergency room.”
“Now that your shift is over, are you taking a break?”
“no.”
Shim Yongjun shook his head.
“I have to work until evening today. “I have prescriptions to organize and a surgery schedule.”
“You’re staying up all night and working again?”
There was a hint of absurdity in the VJ’s voice.
“There is nothing we can do because there are no people. “Even though I am a second-year resident, I am the youngest.”
“Why are there fewer doctors in thoracic surgery than in other departments?”
“The work is hard and the money is not good. First of all, you need to be on emergency standby at all times because you never know when an emergency patient may arrive. “I’ve never been called out on my day off.”
“….”
“Furthermore, if surgery is performed, the patient is usually in intensive care and the surgery usually takes more than three to four hours. If you were VJ, would you work in a different department with the same salary? “Would you like to work in thoracic surgery?”
“I understand why there are no applicants. Then why did Dr. Yongjun Shim apply for thoracic surgery? Did you have any grand aspirations?”
“There was no grand reason.”
Shim Yongjun chuckled and continued.
“Doctors train around departments during their internship, and once, I assisted in a thoracic surgery operation. “At that time, the fellow performing the surgery asked me to touch the patient’s heart.”
“So?”
“I placed my hand on my heart and the heartbeat took hold of my hand. “I didn’t know my heart was beating so hard.”
“There is no need to touch the heart directly. Even if it’s a doctor.”
“That’s what I meant. So I was hooked there. “I thought I wanted to try to fix that intense pounding with my own hands.”
“Do you regret applying to thoracic surgery?”
“I do not know.”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you know the saying about marriage? “It means that if you get married, you will regret it, and if you don’t, you will regret it.”
Shim Yongjun scratched his head.
“It’s really hard right now, but if I hadn’t applied for thoracic surgery, I would have been in pain again. what. “If I had to ask, I would say that my application was a little better.”
