Another Way (3)
Eunha Kang.
This was Choi Ki-seok’s first patient as a resident.
The girl who achieved her dream of becoming an idol was now just around the corner.
Also waiting for his help.
‘You idiot. Wake!’
Ki-Seok Choi jumped up and used the Eye of Hippocrates on Eun-Ha Kang.
Stamina: 2/10
Main symptoms: Chest pain / Apnea / Bleeding
Painful area: Hypovolemic shock / Head bleeding / Abdominal bleeding / Neck contusion / Sternum fracture / Diaphragm rupture
Diagnosis: Penetrating femur / Cervical fracture / Head laceration
Current status: Emergency (near death)
Elapsed time: Poor
Past history: None
Choi Ki-seok bit his lip tightly.
Kang Eunha’s condition is literally the worst.
It’s hard to find a healthy place.
In the past,
we have never treated a patient with such complicated T.A.
Now I have no choice but to trust in the skills that are different from before…
Choi Ki-seok unfastened Kang Eun-ha’s seat belt and carefully laid her down in a place free of accident debris.
“Junha! Here’s the gauze and bandage Caesar bag!”
Choi Ki-seok shouted loudly. Then Sim Jun-ha came like lightning with a first aid kit and a cervical spine fixator.
Unfortunately, 119 has not arrived yet.
“Please hold me here.”
While Sim Jun-ha was putting gauze on Kang Eun-ha’s long torn head wound, Choi Ki-seok grabbed the bandage with both arms and spread them shoulder-width apart.
Then, the bandage was diagonally crossed over the wound and the bandage was finished on the forehead by gently moving the chin and neck up.
It’s not easy to bandage your head.
However, thanks to the kill accuracy gem, it went smoothly.
“Press the top of the head with your fingers to stop the bleeding.”
“yes!”
Sim Jun-ha pressed the upper part of Kang Eun-ha’s wound.
Ki-Seok Choi immediately fixed her neck using a cervical spine fixator.
Soon, blood-soaked clothes came into view.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
Using scissors, he boldly cut Eunha Kang’s clothes in half and completely removed them.
There was severe bleeding from a long open wound on his left side. It appeared that the wound caused hypovolemic shock.
Choi Ki-seok washed the wound with saline solution, put gauze on it, and bandaged it again.
Afterwards, he took off the gown and covered her upper body.
“Can I not do CPR?”
Sim Jun-ha asked with a worried expression.
“I can’t do chest compressions because I have a sternum fracture. Just breathe first!”
Ki-Seok Choi secured the airway and began weaving an ambu bag.
As the glass puncture wound opened, the ambu bag quickly became stained with blood.
Nevertheless, Choi Ki-seok focused only on weaving the ambu bag.
The sweat that rains down from your face and the searing pain you feel every time you squeeze the ambu bag are nothing.
If only I could save Eunha Kang.
“ah······.”
With a groan, a woman stumbled out of the rear seat.
The woman who was riding with me seemed to be a member of a girl group based on her colorful outfit.
“Uh······ Eunha!”
The woman screamed sharply.
“Chi… calm down.”
Sim Jun-ha reassured the woman as much as possible.
Soon, the less injured members came out of the van one by one.
When they saw Eunha Kang in a state of super-death, their faces turned pale.
“Hey, come here and squeeze this for me.”
“yes?”
“Hurry!”
As Choi Ki-seok shouted, a driver who was watching the scene squatted down next to Kang Eun-ha and started squeezing an ambu bag.
Meanwhile, Choi Ki-seok urgently went to the driver’s seat of the van.
I gave Eunha Kang the best first aid I could right now.
Now I had to see another patient.
thud!
I opened the driver’s door and laid the patient on the floor as carefully as possible.
Fortunately, his situation was not as serious as Kang Eun-ha’s.
Choi Ki-seok completed the treatment by wrapping a bandage around the man’s bleeding area and placing a splint on his thigh.
Weeeeeeeee.
The sound of sirens struck my ears.
The sounds that were terrible when I worked in the emergency room now sound like angels singing.
Ride, ride, ride.
119 crews approached the scene, pulling a stretcher car.
“How did this happen?”
One member asked, looking around the chaotic surroundings.
“A traffic accident occurred due to a violation of a red light and speeding. We have provided first aid to patients in critical condition. Three of them must be transported to Uijin University Hospital immediately.”
The crew nodded at Choi Ki-seok’s rapid-fire explanation.
Weeeeeeeee.
Ambulances and ambulances rushed down the road, carrying patients separately.
‘please.’
Ki-Seok Choi prayed while knitting Eun-Ha Kang’s ambulance bag.
I hope that my second meeting with her does not end in tears and mourning.
“Arrived!”
An ambulance and an ambulance entered Uijin University Hospital.
Thanks to Sim Jun-ha contacting the emergency room in advance, medical staff were waiting for the patients outside.
“Quickly check your vitals and get tested first.”
Ko Dae-ho, a third-year emergency medicine student, gave instructions.
Accordingly, interns and other staff took the patients into the emergency room.
“Isn’t the comeback spectacular?”
Ko Dae-ho looked at Choi Ki-seok and smiled bitterly. And with one hand, he stopped Choi Ki-seok from entering the emergency room.
“I also want to help with treatment.”
“Leave the rest to us. A dying patient won’t be saved just because of you.”
“That’s true, but…”
“It’s okay in moderation.”
Ko Dae-ho spoke softly and stared at Choi Ki-seok.
His bangs were soaked with sweat and hung down like seaweed stems. His breathing was heavy and his limp hands were stained with blood.
Just by looking at it, you could see how hard they fought to save the patient.
“come in.”
“really?”
“Baby. As soon as I say that, you start climbing up. Who wants you to help in the emergency room?”
“······.”
“Just get the dressing and go.”
Ko Dae-ho entered the emergency room, his gown flying.
* * *
That afternoon.
Choi Ki-seok returned to the internal medicine ward and took care of the backlog.
At the emergency room, they put a dressing and bandage on me, but it was uncomfortable to treat, so I just took off the bandage and put a bandage on my palm.
After going back and forth between the ward and the intensive care unit for nearly two hours, I barely had any free time.
“Whew…”
Ki-Seok Choi leaned back on the sofa in the lounge.
I was still out of my mind.
Not only was treatment busy, but I was also worried about the progress of traffic accident patients.
‘I should be safe.’
Suddenly, the image of Eunha Kang appeared on the ceiling I was looking at.
Eunha Kang.
The first patient I was in charge of in the past when it was decided.
I never would have thought that I would meet her at the scene of a car accident, as she achieved her bold ambition of becoming a celebrity and debuted as an idol.
“Hey. You did it again.”
Yang Jin-seok entered the lounge and sat down opposite Choi Ki-seok.
“what?”
“I heard you brought a T.A patient with you on your way back from transporting a patient
? I think you are truly the legendary Fanta.”
“I don’t know.”
Choi Ki-seok took a gulp of coffee placed on the table.
“You know that the patient is a popular idol these days, right?”
“I know. It’s Super Venus.”
“Oh, you know all about idols and the sun will rise in the west tomorrow. Have you done first aid and searched?”
“I knew it originally.”
Choi Ki-seok spoke calmly.
I knew about the group that Eunha Kang debuted in since she was a patient in the past.
“Aren’t you going to date an idol like this? You say he’s a lifesaver and then you just do this and that….”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m just kidding. I’m kidding.”
Jiiiing.
While we were talking, the call phone rang.
I checked the number and it was a ward call.
[Teacher. I need to put in a poly for a bored patient.]
“Yes. I’m going.”
Choi Ki-seok was about to get up, but Yang Jin-seok got up first and stopped Choi Ki-seok.
“You get some rest. I’ll go. I’m not available in the afternoon anyway.”
“thanks.”
“That’s all you need to know.”
After Yang Jin-seok left, Choi Ki-seok laid down on the sofa again. And I calmly checked the status window.
[You have succeeded in the special mission: Save a Traffic Accident Patient (3/3).]
[A new stat, political power, has been released as a reward.]
“It’s political power….”
Choi Ki-seok rubbed his chin and tried using medical mode on himself.
Political power stats flashed beneath the Rapport window.
NEW Political power: 2
[Political power: This refers to the power that allows a medical professional to seize power and lead the hospital according to his or her wishes. This item includes networking, greed for power, and management techniques.]
Perhaps because it is a new stat, a friendly explanation has been added at the bottom.
“Umm…”
His level of political power was quite low.
The maximum stat is usually 10, so it was safe to say that it was almost at the bottom level.
What Choi Ki-seok wants is not career, fame, or success, but just for the patient to be discharged from the hospital in good health.
I thought that because of that mindset, my political power was low.
Choi Ki-seok got up from his seat and headed to the thoracic surgery ward.
I wanted to see how the new stats worked.
As I passed the thoracic surgery station and walked down the ward hallway, Minjoohyuk approached me from across the street.
“Hey, it’s been a while.”
Min Joo-hyuk waved his hand happily.
“
I heard there are already rumors about patient T.A. You have an impressive record in internal medicine?”
“I’m usually like that.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled shyly and examined Minjoo-hyuk’s political power.
Perhaps because of its connection with the tightrope walking skill, its political power is quite high at 5.
Tatak. Tatak. Tatak.
I heard the sound of shoes and turned around to see Song Myeong-jin coming this way.
Song Myeong-jin’s political power was 3, which was lower than that of the Democratic Hyuk.
His connections may have been splendid, but his shame seemed low due to his lack of greed for power and management skills.
Should I say that he is in the same department as Choi Ki-seok?
I burst out laughing at the thought that we were not friends for no reason.
“hello.”
When Ki-Seok Choi and Min-Hyuk Min bowed their heads, Myung-Jin Song raised his hand.
“It’s been a while. Is it worth staying in internal medicine?”
“Yes. I am studying hard. And I am surprised that there is more to learn than I thought.”
“That’s a good thing. I was wondering if you would blame me.”
A faint smile appeared on Song Myeong-jin’s lips.
Choi Ki-seok concluded the conversation with the two people and returned to the circulatory department.
Along the way, a new political power stat lingered in my mind.
Should we now increase the numbers by not only engaging in treatment but also getting into politics within the hospital?
Or should I just ignore it and go my own way?
For now, I withheld judgment and went into the hospital room where Lee Jeong-ah was.
Lee Jeong-ah was listening to music on her cell phone.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s okay. It’s a little heavy here.”
Lee Jeong-ah placed her hand on the right clavicle area where the artificial pacemaker was inserted.
Choi Ki-seok tried to comfort her but just kept his mouth shut.
“Aren’t you going to draw today?”
“I just finished work, so I’m going to take a break.”
“Are you not going to show me what you were drawing until the end?”
At Choi Ki-seok’s words, Lee Jeong-ah averted her gaze as if she were embarrassed. Then, he took out a notebook from a drawer next to him and held it out.
“ah······.”
Choi Ki-seok was surprised when he opened the note.
Because he was drawn on one side of the notebook.
In the picture, he was examining the patient with a stethoscope.
In addition, there was a bright smile on the patient’s face and his face, and even though it was just a painting, I could immediately feel that they were sharing a warm affection for each other.
“Wow. You drew it well. Would you believe me if I said you were an artist?”
“I know.”
After receiving the note from Choi Ki-seok, Lee Jeong-ah carefully tore the pages with drawings.
“I’m giving you this as a gift. Don’t throw it away, but keep it.”
“······.”
“I’m going to paint again. So when I become famous later, you can sell it at a high price.”
“Why are you selling this? It should be an heirloom.”
Lee Jeong-ah smiled at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
It’s that moment.
Tiring!
[You have obtained a unique item.]
NEW [Patient Hope]
– You are always beautiful when you look at patients. You always give me strength.
– The item effect vitality is activated.
– Vitality: A certain amount of stamina is recovered when treating a patient, assisting with surgery, or performing surgery. The more difficult the surgery, the more stamina recovery.
– Applies overlapping with other similar effects.
Choi Ki-seok stared blankly at the item.
The second item following Carlisle.
This is also not an easy feat.
The fact that your stamina is restored when you kill it is an effect that I couldn’t even imagine.
One more thing stands out.
The point is that the item’s effect overlaps with other similar effects.
In other words, it means that the patient can receive both the increased physical strength recovery effect through reverse treatment and the desired effect at the same time.
‘I will become a zombie instead of a doctor.’
Choi Ki-seok burst into laughter.
