Another path (5):
The effect of patient wishing was stronger than expected.
If he kills a patient and his stamina increases, his stamina will always remain at a certain level.
Additionally, maintaining physical strength has the same meaning as maintaining sharp concentration.
In other words, the item has two effects.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“It’s nothing. Get some rest.”
Choi Ki-seok organized the treatment supplies at the station and moved to the next hospital room.
I wanted to learn more about the effects of the item.
* * *
That afternoon.
Choi Ki-seok was sitting on the sofa in the lounge and looking up at the ceiling.
“I guess I should at least bow to Jeong-ah?”
He muttered and burst into laughter.
I busied myself with ward work for nearly half a day.
Nevertheless, the physical strength seen in the status window remained at 7.
Normally, it would probably stay at around 5, but due to the patient’s wishes and the increased physical recovery effect of the reverse treatment, my physical strength is maintained at more than half.
Perhaps because of that, I didn’t feel dizzy or my body was weak.
Choi Ki-seok thought about the future when he would be in charge of surgery.
Even with simple treatment like now, the amount of recovery is significant.
But how much recovery will there be when a house is torn down?
Wouldn’t he become an iron doctor who can endure all-night surgeries?
Just imagining it made me happy.
Jiiiing.
The call phone I kept in my gown trembled.
[Super intern teacher! [It’s only patient ABGA.]
As I connected the call, a familiar voice struck my ear.
“Teacher Kang. I’m an intern at the Department of Cardiology.”
[Oh right. Look at my mind.]
“······.”
[But, Mr. Cho, intern, will be back to the thoracic surgery department next month, right? Right?]
“Well…”
[what! Have you already forgotten your promise to become the best thoracic surgeon in the world? You can’t do that! Just as Tunky the dodgeball king became the world’s best dodgeball king, the elementary intern teacher should also make his dream come true.]
“Since when did my rival become the dodgeball king Tunky?”
[Anyway, will you come back?]
Choi Ki-seok deliberately stayed silent in response to Kang Ha-na’s answer.
It’s been a while since we spoke, so I wanted to make fun of him.
“······Don’t worry. I’ll be back right away next month.”
[yes! When I get back, I’ll buy you something delicious.]
A smile appeared on Choi Ki-seok’s lips after he hung up the phone.
Kang Hana is definitely the mood maker.
Even though we only spoke on the phone briefly, I felt like her vitality was evident.
Weeeeeeeee.
My cell phone, which I had placed in my gown, trembled.
Choi Ki-seok checked the number and belatedly remembered his promise.
“Yes, reporter.”
[Hello, Teacher Choi. I’m in the lobby on the first floor right now. Can I do an interview?]
“Yes. I’ll talk and then leave.”
After hanging up the phone, I spoke to the station and headed to the first floor.
The person I decided to meet was Park Gwang-soo, a reporter at KTB broadcasting station.
Park Kwang-soo is a reporter who had a relationship with Choi Ki-seok in the past when he caught a child abuse suspect.
Yesterday, Super Venus was involved in a car accident and Choi Ki-seok was the one who took care of it. He expressed his wish to publish another article.
When I went down to the first floor, I could see the KTB broadcasting station people at a glance.
There were quite a few people around them who were curious to see what was going on.
“hello.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Choi Ki-seok and Park Gwang-soo shook hands.
“I’m grateful that you look at me favorably, but I don’t know if this is worth making an article about.”
Choi Ki-seok expressed his honest feelings.
While riding in an ambulance, I discovered the scene of a traffic accident and administered the necessary treatment.
He did what a doctor should naturally do.
Even if there was another doctor there, he would have taken the same treatment.
“It’s a bit hard to say this, but I judge the value of the article, not Mr. Choi. And according to my intuition, this is a very good number.”
Park Kwang-soo smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“Because Teacher Choi was at the center of the incident and the target of treatment was an idol.”
“······.”
“Do you see those kids?”
Park Kwang-soo’s index finger pointed to about fifty young students near the main gate.
Students were holding picket signs praying for Kang Eun-ha’s safe recovery.
“There are friends like me because the hospital controlled it. If there was no control, there would have been a much more terrifying number.”
“I want to say something…”
“It is so important for his face to be known. If the article is published, Mr. Choi will receive great respect, at least from Super Venus fans.”
“okay.”
Choi Ki-seok looked at the students holding pickets and responded.
In the past, Choi Ki-seok would have declined this interview. If the patient was treated safely, that’s it. Why are they exposing their faces to the media again?
However, things have changed a bit since I figured out my political power stats.
I decided to pay attention to aspects other than medical care as well.
Moreover, Park Kwang-soo’s political power is 6, which is the same as Kim Cheol-woo.
He is a person with considerable ability when it comes to conduct and success.
“And when I saw it.”
“······.”
“It’s still too early, but I think Mr. Choi could be the explosive point for Dr. Tainer.”
“Doctor Tainer?”
“yes.”
Park Kwang-soo nodded and continued speaking.
Doctor Tainer refers to doctors who actively participate in broadcasting activities like celebrities.
They mainly appear on health programs to provide health knowledge and sell home shopping products under their name.
“Most of the doctors who appear on TV these days are older. But if a good-looking, young person like Dr. Choi, who has a decent amount of experience, appears on TV, don’t you think people will go crazy?”
“······.”
“Moreover, if we find out that he is a just doctor who saved idols and even caught child abuse victims in the past, it’s game over. You understand?”
“I have no intention of going that far.”
“The day may come when you have to do something even if you don’t think about it. And getting public attention isn’t such a bad thing.”
Choi Ki-seok also raised both hands and feet in response to Park Kwang-soo’s eloquence.
After the brief conversation, we started the actual interview.
Because he had done it once in the past, he was not nervous and calmly answered Park Kwang-soo’s questions.
The interview was over in 30 minutes.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“What am I? You know that because it will be on the 8 o’clock news today.”
Choi Ki-seok broke up with Park Gwang-soo and headed straight to the annex auditorium.
There was an intern training session 10 minutes later.
Training education could not be omitted because it is education that usually affects evaluation.
When I entered the auditorium, there were quite a few interns taking their seats.
“hi.”
Choi Ki-seok sat next to Jeong Sul-hwa and said hello, and Jeong Sul-hwa, who spotted him, waved happily.
“I heard you were selected as a kind employee a while ago? Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
Jeong Seol-hwa blushed at Choi Ki-seok’s praise.
“When I think about it, it’s amazing that I received it now. You should have received it before me.”
“Eh. It’s not that bad.”
“I don’t think it’s true?”
Choi Ki-seok chuckled.
I knew this because we worked together in the emergency room.
Jeong Seol-hwa is always kind and tries to think from the patient’s perspective.
It would be difficult to count on one’s five fingers an intern as kind as her.
“Is gastrointestinal surgery worth doing?”
“Yes. The Reggie teachers were good, and the nurse teachers were also good. But…”
“however?”
“Hey… No, I’m a little scared of Professor Myungwoon Jeong. He’s very strict when it comes to assisting in surgery. Even the first one is no joke.”
“You understand because that’s who he is.”
Ki-Seok Choi burst into laughter as he remembered Myung-Woon Jeong.
Come to think of it, I think he had a passive trait called contempt for the weak…
I looked at the orthodox painting with the eyes of Hippocrates, just in case.
No mark could be found on Jeong Seol-hwa.
She was also recognized by Myungwoon Jeong.
“So, I heard you took care of an idol who was involved in a car accident while returning from transport?”
“uh.”
“It’s amazing. I heard there were a lot of people injured, but they said they were all being treated safely.”
“Because many people helped me.”
After a moment of silence, Jeong Seol-hwa continued to speak.
“Idols are definitely pretty, right?”
The sudden question left me speechless.
What on earth does Jeong Seol-hwa mean by saying something like this?
Originally, idols were made by people whose looks supported them.
Choi Ki-seok decided to answer carefully because he was once quizzed by Kang Ha-na about a woman’s true thoughts.
So, I looked at the Jeongseolhwa with my mind’s eye.
Her heart was a dark yellow color.
“Well, I’m not sure?”
“Super Venus is doing well these days, isn’t it? The male doctors went crazy trying to get a look at the members’ faces.”
“Maybe other people are like that, but not me. I think I have prettier folk tales than them, right?”
At Choi Ki-seok’s words, Jeong Seol-hwa’s cheeks turned red like a ripe apple.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even look at his face properly.
“Hey, don’t talk empty words.”
“If you’re just saying empty words, put the intestines in my hand.”
As Choi Ki-seok confidently walked out, Jeong Seol-hwa’s earlobes even turned red.
“You know… last time… you stood on duty for me.”
Jeong Seol-hwa continued speaking with difficulty.
“Thank you, but would you like to go to the water park with me?”
“Waterpark?”
“Yes. I got tickets from someone I know… we don’t have a vacation… and it’s summer, so I was wondering if we should go together. What do you think?”
“good.”
Choi Ki-seok readily accepted.
Fortunately, the two had a full day off this weekend.
While we were talking, the doctor who would conduct the training stood on the podium.
Boring training began, and the interns supplemented their lack of sleep by watching the doctor’s advice.
* * *
Time passed and it was 6 PM.
It was the end of the hospital day, but Choi Ki-seok was busy going back and forth between the ward and the intensive care unit.
A doctor has a doctor’s job, a nurse has a nurse’s job, but an intern does not have an intern’s job.
Because I have to take care of all the chores in the hospital.
Fortunately, thanks to the patient wishing item, there was no physical strain.
“That’s it now. Rest comfortably.”
Choi Ki-seok left the hospital room after removing the patient’s urine stream.
As I was looking through the other rooms and checking on the patients, my footsteps suddenly stopped in front of one room.
The person his eyes were fixed on was none other than Yoo Min-sik.
The patient had been suffering from chest pain since morning.
Choi Ki-seok’s face became increasingly crumpled as he examined Yoo Min-sik with Hippocratic eyes.
Physical strength: 3/10
Main symptom: Difficulty breathing / Chest
pain Painful area: Heart
Diagnosis: High blood pressure / Arteriosclerosis / Acute aortic dissection (ascending aorta)
Current status: Emergency Progress:
Poor History
: None
.
After organizing the poly set, I hurriedly ran to Yoo Min-sik. If a dissection occurs in the ascending aorta, emergency surgery is required.
“Elder. Are you in a lot of pain right now? Doesn’t it hurt as if the front of your chest is torn between your wing bones?”
“How did you do that?”
“That’s not important right now. If you’re sick, you should tell the story and get treatment.”
“That’s enough. This is it. Well…”
“······.”
“Not yet, the teacher in charge asked me to take
an ‘ Haa
… What is it?’
Choi Ki-seok looked at Yoo Min-sik and bit his lip. In fact
, it is difficult to confirm
aortic dissection with
an
The point is that you can’t force a test.
Even if you informed the doctor on duty, there was no way he would listen to what Choi Ki-seok said.
[The patient is suspected to have an aortic dissection.]
If you put it that way, it was perfect to hear you sound like an idiot.
There were a lot of patients . It doesn’t make much of a difference if he says he’s in pain so he should get a CT scan.
In the hospital, interns are just machines that do what they’re told. Making
rash judgments is taboo.
Choi Ki-seok was nervously looking down at Yoo Min-sik when he came up with a brilliant idea.
Yes,
it’s not that there is no way.
