Daily Life (4)
“I found this person collapsed by chance. There was cardiac tamponade, so I performed a pericardial puncture, and there was cardiac arrest, so I used CPR and a defibrillator.”
Choi Ki-seok continued speaking rapidly.
At this, Kwak Sang-cheol looked at Choi Ki-seok and the patient alternately with a blank expression.
“You said you diagnosed and treated the patient yourself?
“Me and this guy are doctors.”
Choi Ki-seok pointed to Jeong Seol-hwa.
Kwak Sang-cheol nodded as if he understood the situation only then.
Then, after examining the patient, he made a puzzled expression.
“ There is nothing special at the moment. Still, we have to monitor his condition, so we will escort him to a nearby hospital. Thank you both for your hard work.”
119 crews loaded the man into the back of the ambulance.
“Wait a minute.”
Choi Ki-seok hurriedly grabbed a syringe containing pericardial fluid.
Testing the pericardial fluid will save you hassle at the hospital.
” I’ll follow too.”
Choi Ki-seok ran toward the 119 vehicle, followed by Jeong Seol-hwa.
* * *
Gahyeon Hospital emergency room.
Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa were sitting on the guardian’s bed next to the bed. They
are waiting for Song Dae-hyeon, a man who has entered the examination.
For a moment . In the midst of silence, Choi Ki-seok began.
“Thank you.”
“What?”
“You showed up at the right time and brought me a defibrillator. If I hadn’t done that, the patient might have died.”
“What did I do? You did the hard work.”
Jeong Seol-hwa shook her head.
Choi Ki-seok diagnosed cardiac tamponade and performed a pericardial puncture.
Not only that, but he also performed CPR at a steady pace for about ten minutes. He performed
all the procedures that needed to be done in the emergency room, all in the open air. It’s
an unbelievable action taken by someone who just got his or her driver’s license.
‘Is this the Kiseok I know?’
Jeong Seol-hwa took a peek at Choi Ki-seok.
“What’s on my face?”
“Ah… No. Just.”
Jeong Seol-hwa waved her hand and avoided eye contact, and Choi Ki-seok chuckled.
“But how did you know the location of the defibrillator?”
“I have a habit of checking the location of the defibrillator while walking. Isn’t it strange?”
“No. It’s cool.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Choi Ki-seok scratched the back of his head.
“What are you going to do with Tae-ho?”
Jeong Seol-hwa changed the topic.
“······.”
“Tae-ho is really pissed. “I got scolded for trying to stop you from making a fuss by breaking a bottle.”
“It’s okay if you don’t look at that bastard. Technically, when were we friends? It was a one-sided relationship to please others.”
“······.”
“And there is at least one person
on my side, right?” When Choi Ki-seok was treating a patient, the only one who came out was Jeong Seol-hwa. Nam Kang-jun and Oh Hye-jeong were the only ones with Jo Tae-ho. He only cared and didn’t even show his nose.
How this group works.
How fragile relationships can be broken.
Choi Ki-seok of the past was in a hurry to match Jo Tae-ho even though he knew that fact.
The current Choi Ki-seok boldly left the group.
How much time had passed?
Song Dae-hyun, who was lying on the bed, returned to the emergency room with the staff.
Choi Ki-seok and Jeong Seol-hwa woke up at the same time.
“Thank you both.”
Song Dae-hyun gave a warm look.
It can be seen that he was a person who had crossed the border between life and death. He looks so healthy.
“Thanks to you, I survived.” They said the test results showed no abnormalities and there were no significant aftereffects.”
The test results Song Dae-hyun received upon arriving at the emergency room were all normal.
Cardiac tamponade and cardiac arrest caused by trauma.
This is because the treatment for those was perfect.
However, he went to the emergency room for recovery . I should have stayed longer.
“No. I was just lucky.”
“I heard you did the treatment?”
The emergency medicine and on-call doctor joined in the conversation.
“That’s amazing. In that situation, they diagnosed cardiac tamponade and treated it neatly… What hospital do you work at?” ”
Jinseong University Hospital’s thoracic surgery department.”
“I said the treatment is somehow different. Thanks to you, the work has been reduced.”
The doctor on duty smiled, and Choi Ki-seok also smiled back.
There was no need to tell him that he had just passed the doctor’s exam. Moreover,
Choi Ki-seok had actually completed his third year of residency at Jinseong University Hospital’s thoracic surgery department.
He wasn’t a complete lie.
“Then I’ll just leave.”
The doctor on duty left and Jeong Seol-hwa stared at Choi Ki-seok with a surprised expression.
She was the only one who knew his lie.
Choi Ki-seok explained by putting a finger to his lips. “It’s too late today, let’s eat sometime.”
Song Dae-hyeon, who had been quiet, held out a business card to Choi Ki-seok.
[Song Dae-hyeon, head of the Oriental Medicine Department at Himna Oriental Medicine Hospital.]
Choi Ki-seok was surprised when he accepted the business card.
Himna Oriental Medicine Hospital is one of the three most popular hospitals in Korea .
It’s an oriental medicine hospital inside. There were quite a few hospitals not only in Seoul but also in the provinces. I never would have guessed
that an oriental medicine doctor would have saved his life. Since
his condition was emergency, he only used patient mode, so he couldn’t recognize Song Dae-hyun properly.
Using the eyes of Hippocrates in medical mode. Defect information came to mind.

Choi Ki-seok was inwardly impressed.
Song Dae-hyun was a much better oriental medicine doctor than he had thought. His appearance like the guy next door and his skills had nothing to do with it. While
talking with Song Dae-hyun, a woman and a boy who looked to be in high school rushed to the emergency room in a huff. They came running.
It was Song Dae-hyun’s wife, Ahn Yun-hee, and son, Song Dae-jin.
“Honey. Are you okay?”
“Then you’re fine.”
“I was worried!”
Ahn Yun-hee sobbed in Song Dae-hyun’s arms, and Song Dae-hyun patted Ahn Yoon-hee’s shoulder.
Saving one person means saving ten people.
His family, friends, and the people around him. Because it is about saving lives.
Choi Ki-seok once again felt what the teacher had said in the past.
‘That’s exactly what it looks like.’
A smile slowly spread across his mouth.
The picture he saw before the pericardial puncture.
That picture overlapped with the picture his family was showing him now.
Ki-Seok Choi and Seol-Hwa Jeong left the hospital after saying hello to their families.
The evening air was cool . It was cold.
White steam came out every time I breathed.
“I’ll take you home.”
“It’s okay. It’s not far from here.”
“The streets are scary these days. I’ll just go close to your house.”
Choi Ki-seok took a taxi with Seol-hwa Jeong and went near her house.
“You had a hard time because of me today.”
“No.”
Seol-hwa Jeong shook her head.
Standing under the streetlight. Choi Ki-seok’s appearance suddenly looked pitiful. Bright red povidone solution was stained on his top, and his hair was matted with sweat. An
image of him performing CPR diligently, even though he had just undergone heart surgery, flashed through my mind. For no
reason, my heart ached.
Gurgling . Ugh.
The sound of a hungry stomach rang loudly.
“Is it all gone already?”
Ki-Seok Choi rubbed his stomach with a shy expression.
“I’ll just leave.”
Ki-Seok Choi said hello and turned around.
Seol-Hwa Jeong watched him. I followed Choi Ki-seok and grabbed him by the collar.
“Would you like to go to my house?”
