A new wind (4)
Full-scale emergency room treatment has begun.
As Choi Ki-seok’s fantasy instinct came into play, patients flooded the once peaceful emergency room.
Pediatric patients with high fever, patients complaining of abdominal pain, patients with severe headaches, etc.
Among them, there was also a patient who underwent emergency surgery due to acute intestinal obstruction.
After the storm, the emergency room was free again.
“Haha… There were the most patients today while working in the emergency room.”
Beom-gyun Ahn stared at Ki-seok Choi while drinking coffee on the table.
“Tell me honestly. Are you a fantasist?”
“······.”
“I never had anything like this when I worked with Sulwha.”
“I think Mr. Choi is a fantasist.”
Emergency room nurse Park Mi-hyang, who had been silent, joined in.
Choi Ki-seok, who was feeling prickly, couldn’t answer and smiled awkwardly.
While they were talking, a young female patient sat across from Choi Ki-seok.
The patient’s name is Kang Min-ah and she is seven years old.
Next to him was his rugged-looking father, Kang Min-sang.
“Min, raise your head. You have to raise your pretty face so the teacher doesn’t see your wounds.”
Despite Choi Ki-seok’s words, Kang Min-ah remains steadfast.
The head that had fallen to the ground did not know how to come up. My legs continued to tremble, as if indicating a distracted mind.
“What are you doing!”
Kang Min-sang roared like a tiger.
Only then did Kang Min-ah raise her head.
A frightened look was evident on his face.
Due to overall unstable behavior, ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder) was suspected.
“How did you get hurt?”
“He tripped over a bag on the floor and hit his forehead on the desk.”
Kang Min-sang answered on Kang Min-ah’s behalf.
I didn’t like the informal language, but I endured it for now.
Dealing with rude patients doesn’t just happen in a day or two.
“Don’t be too nervous. Let’s see.”
The wound on Kang Min-ah’s forehead was quite long and deep. At this level, suturing was necessary.
I would like to do the suturing myself, but that is beyond my authority.
Choi Ki-seok called the plastic surgery doctor on duty and used the Eye of Hippocrates on Kang Min-ah.
This is to check if you have ADHD.
‘What is this?’
Dark clouds gathered over Choi Ki-seok’s face.
Something is wrong with this.
Even if it goes wrong, it goes very wrong.
“Teacher. Why are you doing this?”
Park Mi-hyang, who was preparing suture tools next to him, asked, and Choi Ki-seok calmly nodded that it was no big deal.
After a while, the doctor on duty came down after receiving the call and began suturing.
The neat workmanship of a plastic surgeon.
The suturing was neater and faster than expected.
“Can I go now?”
“Wait a minute. Nurse Park, please look at me for a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok signaled his guardian to wait and moved to a remote place with Park Mi-hyang.
And I briefly explained what was happening.
“Yes? Really?”
Park Mi-hyang loudly asked back at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“I’m sure. Trust me.”
“You may be saying this because you have your own thoughts, but what if it’s not the case? I don’t think that person will stay still.”
Park Mi-hyang glanced at her guardian.
The guardian showed no interest in his daughter’s injuries. They are only looking at Choi Ki-seok and Park Mi-hyang.
“But you can’t leave the child alone.”
“For now, I will do as you say, teacher.”
Park Mi-hyang nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Choi Ki-seok sat across from his guardian, and Park Mi-hyang took Kang Min-ah to the examination room.
“Min, it’s just the two of us here, right?”
Kang Min-ah nodded slightly at Park Mi-hyang’s words.
“My sister will give me something delicious, so shall we talk for a moment?”
“yes.”
Kang Min-ah took the lollipop that Park Mi-hyang held out and sucked a piece of it.
“You came to the hospital today because you were sick. Didn’t your dad hit you?”
Kang Min-ah remained silent in response to her question. But the darkness in his eyes grew bigger and bigger.
The cute lips moved and closed repeatedly, as if to say something.
Park Mi-hyang waited anxiously for an answer.
“Dad didn’t hit me.”
“It’s just you and Minah here. You can be honest.”
“I really didn’t hit you. But…”
“······.”
“Dad pushed me.”
Park Mi-hyang was so shocked by Kang Min-ah’s answer that her heart sank and she couldn’t say anything.
“So Minah got hurt because her dad pushed her?”
“Yes. When I said I was hungry, my dad said he was annoyed and pushed me.”
“It must have hurt a lot.”
The sight of a child accepting his father’s abuse without any hesitation made it even more heartbreaking.
“Minah. Can I see Minah’s body?”
“yes.”
Nurse Park carefully removed Kang Min-ah’s clothes. There were black bruises on my thighs and sides.
Bruises that appear in places that are not easily visible to the eye.
This is evidence that the guardian is intentionally hitting Kang Min-ah.
The fire that had been burning quietly in my chest spread throughout my body.
Park Mi-hyang immediately felt the urge to go outside and hit her guardian.
“It’s okay. It didn’t hurt much today though.”
Kang Min-ah showed a bright smile.
“Minah. From now on, the doctor you and I saw earlier will help Minah not get sick.”
“how?”
“I’ll explain now.”
Park Mi-hyang lowered her body and made eye contact with Kang Min-ah.

In the emergency room of Uijin University,
Choi Ki-seok was having a nervous battle while sitting across from Kang Min-sang.
“What? Isn’t it all over?”
Kang Min-sang glared at the nurse who was dragging his daughter away.
“You may have an infection on your forehead and you need to get it checked out.”
“I don’t need anything, so bring my daughter.”
“This is a necessary test.”
Choi Ki-seok spoke roughly.
In fact, Kang Min-ah could have gone home when the suturing was completed, but she could not bury the incident like this.
“Well, I said I don’t need it!”
Kang Min-sang raised his voice.
The surprised staff and patients looked at Kang Min-sang.
“What are you looking at? Aren’t you covering your eyes?”
As soon as Kang Min-sang put down the fishing pole, all eyes dispersed.
The atmosphere in the emergency room quickly froze.
“Hey. I’m going to take my daughter. Why are you talking so much?”
“Guardian.”
Choi Ki-seok calmly stared at Kang Min-sang.
“Weren’t you worried about your daughter and brought her to the hospital?”
“······.”
“Then, please follow my instructions. The staff here are all working hard for the patients.”
At Choi Ki-seok’s words, Kang Min-sang looked up at the ceiling.
It looks like he is letting go of his anger.
“How did you say your daughter got hurt earlier?”
“I hit my forehead on the table.”
“A dining table? I think you definitely said a desk earlier.”
Ki-Seok Choi muttered and checked the EMR.
In the emergency room first visit report he personally wrote, it was written that the patient hit his forehead on the desk.
“Is that so? But what’s so important about it? A table or a desk or something like that.”
“It’s very important. If words go back and forth, trust goes down.”
“Fuck. What? You don’t trust me?”
Kang Min-sang’s eyebrows twitched like earthworms.
An atmosphere was created as if someone would hit him at any moment.
“Your daughter has a bruise on her ankle.”
“Are you a doctor? You hurt your forehead today and also injured your ankle. Looking at this, does that make you a quack?”
“Is that really true?”
Choi Ki-seok continued.
“The bruise on Minah’s ankle has turned brown. That means she wasn’t injured today.”
Kang Min-sang kept his mouth shut at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
He looked dispirited for a moment, but soon began to show his anger.
“So what should I do? Should I just keep the kid at home instead of sending him to school so he doesn’t get hurt? What are you going to do with me when he comes home hurt!”
Suddenly.
With good timing, Park Mi-hyang and Kang Min-ah returned to the emergency room.
“Please wait a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok, who received a glance from Park Mi-hyang, approached her and heard the detailed story.
“That person is absolutely evil. I spoke to Minah’s mother on the phone, and she said that he usually beats not only Minah but also Minah’s mother.”
“······.”
“I told him what happened today, and he said he would report it to the hospital, so he said he would understand.”
“Then contact the police…”
“Of course I finished it.”
“Well done.”
Choi Ki-seok nodded and returned to his seat.
“Treatment is over, right? I’m leaving now.”
“I can’t do that.”
He stood up and blocked Kang Min-sang.
“Huh? What are you doing?”
“Healthcare professionals have a duty to report child abuse. Do not approach the child any further.”
Choi Ki-seok’s loud cries spread throughout the emergency room.
“Ah…child abuse?”
“Teacher Min. Is this true?”
The staff, including the patients, were all agitated.
Medical professionals have a duty to report child abuse.
However, not many cases actually identify and report abuse.
In fact, there has not been a single case of child abuse reported at Uijin University Hospital.
“Haa…fuck. I’m going to spin.”
Kang Min-sang stroked his hair with one hand.
“I hit my daughter?”
“If you have a conscience, you can’t say no.”
“I’ve already photographed all the wounds on the child’s body.”
When Choi Ki-seok looked at Nurse Park, the nurse waved her cell phone.
“Did you tell that nurse everything?”
“······.”
When Kang Min-sang’s face scrunched up, Kang Min-ah was unable to answer and hid behind the nurse’s back.
“Anyway, it’s no use feeding the baby and putting him to sleep. Get out of the way.”
“I can’t get out of the way.”
“Do you want to rummage?”
Kang Min-sang growled and rushed at Choi Ki-seok.
[Use the Tyrant’s Descent skill.]
[Suppression failed. You cannot subdue an opponent who is not a patient.]
[Strength and agility temporarily increase.]
A skill notification flashed through my mind.
“개새끼. 죽고 싶냐?”
Hehehe.
Kang Min-sang threw a decisive punch.
Choi Ki-seok stepped back slightly and dodged Kang Min-sang’s fist. Then Kang Min-sang huffed and threw a jab with both hands. Did he at least learn boxing in his past?
The inside of my hands were bitter.
His footwork was as agile as a swallow.
Ki-Seok Choi did not avoid a counterattack, but simply avoided the attack as much as possible.
With the advent of the tyrant, my physical abilities improved, so dodging wasn’t too daunting.
“haha······.”
Kang Min-sang, tired of punching, took a breath, and Choi Ki-seok quietly watched Kang Min-sang.
“You piece of trash.”
Choi Ki-seok muttered quietly so that only Kang Min-sang could hear.
“you you! Say it again!”
Kang Min-sang picked up the treatment chair and hit Choi Ki-seok on the head.
Uuuuuuung.
“Aaaaaaaa!”
“Be careful!”
The people watching screamed.
Choi Ki-seok took a large step back and avoided the treatment chair.
Thump, thud, thump.
The chair fell to the floor with a metallic sound.
Kang Min-sang’s face turned bright red as if it was about to explode.
Meanwhile, Choi Ki-seok quickly went behind Kang Min-sang’s back and broke his arm.
The male employees who were watching around him did this. They all rushed at Kang Min-sang.
“Oh, fuck!”
Kang Min-sang’s cries echoed in the emergency room.
* * *
As time passed, the child abuse case was somewhat resolved.
Kang Min-sang was caught by the police who arrived and dragged to the district. I went. It
wasn’t until midnight that Kang Min-ah returned home, holding her mother’s hand.
“Haa… I feel so good.”
Choi Ki-seok could still vividly recall
the image of Kang Min-ah’s mother listening to the story of what happened in the hospital.
Silently . The sight of them sobbing.
It is said that Kang Min-sang often touched not only Kang Min-ah but also Kang Min-ah’s mother.
Kang Min-ah’s mother also considered reporting it to the police, but was unable to do so because she was afraid of retaliation. The wounds will heal
with time, but mother and daughter What can I do with the emotional bruising I will carry in the future?
My heart was heavy at such thoughts.
“You are amazing too,”
Beomgyun Ahn, who was sitting a little away, began.
“How did you catch child abuse in that situation?”
“Looking at the child, I feel a little suspicious,”
Choi Ki-seok calmly replied.
Kang Min-ah, who is very sensitive to her father. Kang Min-sang, who is coercively handling the child. Multiple bruises detected with the eyes of Hippocrates.
Through these three things, Kang Min-ah is abused. Fortunately ,
his judgment was correct.
“You had a hard time, too.”
Choi Ki-seok looked at Ahn Beom-gyun.
Ahn Beom-gyun received several blows while suppressing Kang Min-sang. Not only that, his glasses broke. “You did
all the hard work.”
“Don’t say that.” While
the two were talking, Park Mi-hyang came up to them and offered them warm coffee.
“Thank you both for your hard work.”
“······.”
“I’ve been working in the emergency room for four years, and today is the first time I’ve caught child abuse.”
Park Mi-hyang took a pause before continuing.
“I heard that Professor Choi also performed thoracentesis on emergency patients in the past?”
“yes.”
“Regardless of what happened in the past and what happened today, I think Mr. Choi is really not ordinary.”
“What can I say? It seems like people around me don’t leave me alone.”
Park Mi-hyang and Ahn Beom-gyun laughed at Choi Ki-seok’s joke.
After the conversation, a peaceful time followed.
Patients stopped moving as if they knew there was chaos at the hospital.
Choi Ki-seok looked at the status window in his spare time.
He received a new title when he subdued Kang Min-sang and handed him over to the police.
[Brave Man]
– I salute your sense of duty and willingness to go to any lengths to protect patients. cohesion!
– Favorability increases by +10. Reputation permanently increases by +1.
– Skill success rate increases by 10%.
The effect of the title was good.
Not only did it increase interpersonal relationships, but also the skill success rate as a bonus.
However, the joy of receiving a new title was not that great.
From now on, whenever you see the title, Kang Min-ah will come to mind.
“Excuse me.”
A patient who was lying on one side of the emergency room got up and approached me.
This is patient Park Gwang-soo, who was receiving intravenous fluids for abdominal pain.
“I am a reporter for KTB broadcasting station. I would like to publish an article about what happened in the emergency room today.”
