Proposal (4)
“Ah… Isn’t it?”
Na Cheol-beom shook his head as if it was unfair.
“Elder. Your clothes smell like cigarettes.”
“The person I went out with smoked next to me. I really didn’t smoke.”
“Let me check your hands.”
“Well, I’m not.”
As Choi Ki-seok approached, Na Cheol-beom took a step back.
[Uses the Tyrant’s Descent skill.]
[Makes the patient obey the doctor’s recommendation for surgery and other treatment instructions.]
[Temporarily increases strength and agility.]
When the skill was used, a red aura erupted from the body.
Choi Ki-seok pulled Na Cheol-beom’s hand and smelled it.
As expected, there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke.
As Choi Ki-seok looked alternately at Na Cheol-beom’s hands and face, Na Cheol-beom cleared his throat and averted his gaze.
“Honestly, I only took one hit. It’s true.”
“Elder. Do you remember that the teacher in charge told you not to smoke during rounds?”
“I know, but… is that okay?”
Na Cheol-beom sighed as the ground fell.
I smoked a pack of cigarettes every day for thirty years. It was impossible to cut it off in an instant.
“I understand your feelings, but you must take this opportunity to quit. Nicotine has a vasoconstrictive effect, and other toxic substances have the effect of promoting blood coagulation.
” …
We will put on a patch or take other measures, so make sure to quit smoking.” When
Choi Ki-seok pushed the wedge, an alarm rang.
Tiring!
[The warning effect of the coming of the tyrant is activated.]
[Inform patients about the dangers of smoking and the importance of quitting smoking. The patient’s likelihood of smoking decreases by 30 percent.]
“Okay. I’ll try.”
“Thank you.”
Ki-seok Choi said hello to Cheol-beom Na and turned around.
Cigarettes are especially poisonous to patients.
The various harmful ingredients in cigarettes are difficult to express in words. Sometimes, cigarettes last for decades. There are people who smoke and are healthy, but the number is very small.
‘Well, even for me…’
Ki-seok Choi smiled bitterly, thinking about the patient’s position.
If you have been smoking for decades, it will be difficult for you to quit smoking.
So bad, there is even a joke going around that you should not give a daughter to a toxic man who quits smoking in one go.
Quit smoking . It’s not that easy.
Even if you quit, the desire to smoke again arises when you’re stressed.
For reference, there were quite a few doctors who smoked without their patients knowing.
“Hey. How can I survive this without even cigarettes?”
“Shouldn’t I at least be happy when I smoke?”
Doctors who smoke in thoracic surgery departments used to say that.
Since the introduction of electronic cigarettes, doctors who smoke also have started to smoke. It has increased quite a bit.
It’s a good thing I never touched a cigarette in the first place. With that in mind, Choi Ki-seok headed to the station. * * *
That
evening, all work was over.
Since I wasn’t on duty, I leaned back on the bed in the dormitory and read an internal medicine book. .
Drugs, effects, and side effects.
Mutual effects between drugs, drug concentrations that change depending on the patient’s condition, etc. The
more I turned the pages, the more my head hurt.
While studying internal medicine, Ki-Seok Choi was keenly aware that he was a surgeon.
Even already . I am proud of myself for raising my internal medicine level by 3.
“Can I really do it?”
I checked the status window and bit my lip.
To raise my internal medicine level by one level within a month…
Study hard . I was doing it, but honestly, I wasn’t sure.
After reading the book intently, I looked at the treatment section to cool my head. Just
because it’s circulatory medicine, it doesn’t mean administering drugs to patients all day long.
Treatments such as electrode catheter ablation, pacemaker insertion, and coronary angioplasty are related to the circulatory system. It will be conducted in the internal medicine department.
Ki-Seok Choi finished reading the book he was reading and got out of bed.
He remembered that he had left a book in the conference room.
Although it was annoying, he decided to go out for a moment to get some fresh air.
Ki-Seok Choi stood in the entrance of the dormitory, face-to-face . I frowned.
Shoot .
It was raining.
Considering the distance to the main building, I felt like my gown would get completely wet if I just got hit.
“Uh. Ki-seok.”
I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice.
I saw Jeong Seol-hwa holding an umbrella.
“Are you off today?”
“Yes. What about you?”
“I’m on duty.”
Jeong Seol-hwa answered with a sullen expression.
“Didn’t you bring an umbrella? Let’s go to the main building together.”
“Good.”
Choi Ki-seok left the dormitory with Jeong Seol-hwa.
A cool rain fell to cool down the tropical night, and a night bug sang a melodious tune in the park. Even though it was a hospital, I was able to feel a little bit of charm.
” “I heard you went to the circulatory department?”
Jeong Seol-hwa began.
“Uh. Professor Song said it would be a good idea to study internal medicine as well. How about respiratory medicine?”
“I’m dying from this.”
Jeong Seol-hwa continued to explain.
“There are more critically ill patients than expected, and there are more claims from their guardians. There’s a lot to deal with. I feel like I’ll get old even if I stay here for just a month. Cardiology department?”
“This place is no joke either. I don’t know if I’m getting the call or if the call is catching me.”
Jeong Seol-hwa chuckled at Choi Ki-seok’s joke.
“Almost half of the interns are here. Have you decided on a time for fixing?”
“Yes.”
“Where? Anesthesiology?”
“Anesthesiology is good, but… there’s a different place I want to go.” ”
So where is it?”
“I don’t know. I won’t teach you.”
Jeong Seol-hwa
bowed her head shyly.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of. The rain got stronger as the thunder roared.
The umbrella wasn’t that big so if the two of them weren’t close together, they would get caught in the rain.
‘Go boldly.’ Shall we see?’
Choi Ki-seok used his mind’s eye and pondered on Jeong Seol-hwa.
Jeong Seol-hwa’s heart is a shy pink color.
Considering the fact that she likes him, he had a rough idea of what pink meant.
“Come here. It’s going to rain.”
Choi Ki-seok closed his eyes and put his hand on Jeong Seol-hwa’s shoulder and pulled her towards him.
Then Jeong Seol-hwa looked up at Choi Ki-seok with surprised eyes.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“Ah… no. “It’s not like that,”
Jeong Seol-hwa stammered.
Her face and ears turned red.
When I looked at it in my mind’s eye, I saw that her heart was a darker pink than before.
‘It’s not bad.’
A smile appeared on Choi Ki-seok’s lips.
Although they were not skin-to-skin, their bodies were touching Jeong Seol-hwa, and if he lowered his head slightly, he could see Jeong Seol-hwa’s pretty face up close. How long had it been since he felt such sweetness
…
Did she get used to the skinship?
Jeong Seol-hwa also leaned comfortably on Choi Ki-seok and wrapped one hand around Choi Ki-seok’s waist.
The two looked just like a couple on a date on a rainy day.
“Hey. The picture is nice. Are you guys dating?”
Kim Geon-woo approached from across from me.
He looked at the two people in turn and smiled mischievously.
“Don’t you know when you see it raining? If we don’t stick together like this, both of us will get wet.”
“Hmm… no matter how I look at it, it’s suspicious… If we’re not dating, how can we show this kind of skinship?”
Kim Geon-woo’s eyes sharpened.
“I guess IC It smells like.”
“IC?”
“Intern Couple. Maybe that’s why, when I look at you two, I can’t help but cry.”
“That’s why I’m not saying that.”
“We’re not dating.”
Kim Geon-woo remained silent for a long time in response to the two people’s explanations. Then, he narrowed the distance and placed one hand on Choi Ki-seok’s. He put it on his shoulder.
His expression suddenly became serious.
“I think we’re having a relationship.” If possible, don’t let Seolhwa confess. A man who makes a woman’s heart swell is not cool.”
At his words, Choi Ki-seok made a blank expression, and Jeong Seol-hwa blushed and lowered her head.
“Where are you going? It just so happens that he is on the same side as me. Shall I walk with my umbrella?”
Kim Geon-woo hummed the lyrics, breaking the awkwardness between the two.
“Shall we go?”
“Yes.”
The two started walking again and soon arrived at the main building.
“Here, umbrella. Well written.”
“No. You were holding it the whole time.”
Jeong Seol-hwa accepted the umbrella that Choi Ki-seok gave her.
The two stood at the entrance to the main building for a while and stared outside. Heavy rain was still falling.
“Stay on duty and see you next time.”
“Yes,”
Choi Ki-seok said. I watched Jeong Seol-hwa’s back as she walked away.
It seemed like Kim Geon-woo’s words were still ringing in my ears. There were definitely a lot of ambiguous parts in my relationship with Jeong Seol-hwa.
“Ah. That’s right.”
Choi Ki-seok was on his way to the cardiology ward, but turned around and headed to the library.
He borrowed a book related to drawing.
Afterwards, he arrived at the ward and went into the room where Lee Jeong-ah was.
Lee Jeong-ah was drawing on the notes she received during the Holter test. .
“Are you drawing?”
“Ah. Yes.”
Lee Jeong-ah hurriedly shoved the notebook under the blanket.
“What on earth did you draw and hide it so quickly?”
“You don’t have to know, teacher.” ”
Now that you say that, I’m even more curious?”
Choi Ki-seok approached Lee Jeong-ah with a smile.
“How are you feeling?”
“Same. Sometimes my heart is pounding and breathing is difficult.”
“The nurses are constantly making rounds, but if you feel anything strange, just ring the bell.” ”
I know,”
Lee Jeong-ah answered calmly.
“It’s a gift.”
Choi Ki-seok was on her side. I handed the book I had to Jeong-ah Lee.
“What is this?”
“I’m bored just staying in the ward. If you’re going to spend time drawing, I thought it would be nice to have something like this.”
“The teacher is really strange.”
Lee Jeong-ah tilted her head as she received the book.
“What?”
“The only person who does this to me is you.”
Lee Jeong-ah confessed her true feelings.
Today alone, Choi Ki-seok has already visited the hospital room for the fourth time. He
doesn’t come because he has anything special to do, and when he comes, he just chats about various things and then leaves. Not only
that, he even gave him a book to read when he’s bored. .
I didn’t know why he was like this.
“I know it’s not good to be lonely,”
Choi Ki-seok said calmly, looking down at Lee Jeong-ah.
Seeing Lee Jeong-ah living almost alone in the hospital, he was reminded of himself growing up alone without his parents in the past. .
So I couldn’t leave it alone.
“It’s okay. “Because I’m used to that.”
“There’s no need to get used to that. The staff here aren’t there for you for nothing.”
“Everyone looks busy…” ”
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to talk to you for a moment.”
“Yes.”
Lee Jeong-ah nodded slightly. I nodded.
Even if it was a useless story, it is true that I felt comfortable talking to him.
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Why did you become a doctor? It’s hard not being able to sleep every day. If you studied well enough to go to medical school, shouldn’t you be able to do something else?”
“That’s right.”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“But you like this job the best. Like you said, I feel proud when I see patients being discharged from the hospital in good health, even though I have a sleepless night and have a hard time all day.”
“······.”
“So, you should be discharged healthy too. To make the teacher happy.”
“I don’t like it? Why me?”
Lee Jeong-ah quickly turned her head.
Knowing that she was joking, Choi Ki-seok just laughed.
“Get some rest and see you tomorrow.”
Choi Ki-seok left the hospital room and went into the conference room. He took the necessary books and turned on his laptop. Click! Click! “Uhm
…
”
The moaning deepened.
He was examining Lee Jeong-ah’s 24-hour Holter test, which was completed this evening.
As a result of the test, Lee Jeong-ah had ST in the right chest guidance when resting or napping. There was an increase in the segment.
As Choi Ki-seok expected, she was suffering from Brugada syndrome.
Her condition was worse than expected.
What decision would the cardiology staff make for
Jeong-ah Lee? Should she use a drug called quinidine or use an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
The latter possibility is much higher, but I hoped that drug treatment would be possible.
Isn’t it too harsh to insert an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) into a high school girl?
Jiyiing.
The call phone rang, and when I answered it, I heard a familiar voice.
[I’m Rehmannia glutinosa. Right now. Come down to the emergency room. A patient with AMI (acute myocardial infarction) has just come in. We need to do PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) as an emergency.] “I’m going right away.”
Choi
Ki-seok went down to the emergency room, his gown flowing.
