Decision (3)
“Doctor Bachelor?”
Choi Mi-soon noticed Choi Ki-seok and opened her eyes.
She was so shocked that her second son Yang Tae-man, her guardian, supported her.
“What’s going on here?”
“After the training period, I became a doctor specializing in breast care.”
Choi Ki-seok tapped his heart area with his palm. If you use technical terms, Choi Mi-soon won’t understand.
“Anyway, it’s really nice to meet you.”
“me too.”
Choi Ki-seok received greetings from Choi Mi-soon and stared at Yang Tae-man.
“Seeing you come up from afar, it looks like you’re very unwell, right?”
“Yes. My chest has been really hurting for a month now. I’ve been coughing a lot and having trouble breathing. I went to a nearby hospital and they said it would be a good idea to go to a bigger hospital…” “Okay, sir. I’ll get you checked out first.
” .”
“Cancer. That’s it.”
Choi Ki-seok checked Choi Mi-soon’s vital signs again and listened to breathing sounds with a stethoscope.
The breathing sounds were so low that it felt difficult to breathe.
It is fortunate that the heart sounds are within the normal range.
“Cluck! Cough!”
Choi Mi-soon suddenly coughed. Then he hurriedly put the hand covering his mouth into his pocket.
“Elder, can you show me your hands?”
“Wow? What’s there to see in those wrinkled hands? They even sneezed.”
“I’m fine.”
“Ah, I’m not okay?”
Choi Ki-seok argued with Choi Mi-soon and ended up staring at her palm.
“….”
“….”
The moment Choi Ki-seok checked her palm, there was a lot of tension.
Choi Mi-soon’s palms were covered in blood.
Choi Mi-soon avoided Choi Ki-seok’s gaze with a shy expression, and Choi Ki-seok felt anxiety creeping into a corner of his chest.
Maybe he was afraid.
Using the Eye of Hippocrates on her from the beginning.
The reunion with Choi Mi-soon begins with misfortune.
“You can’t hide your pain from me, you know?”
Choi Ki-seok soaked saline solution on a gauze and wiped Choi Mi-soon’s bloody palm. Then I took a deep breath and used the eyes of Hippocrates.
The moment I confirmed the diagnosis, my eyes turned dark.
All strength drained from my body.
“Doctor Bachelor. Why are you drawing it?”
“I’m sorry. I guess it’s because I didn’t eat breakfast properly. Just give me a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok sat in front of the computer with a wry smile.
First, I looked at the chest X-ray, followed by the results of blood tests and other tests.
However, it is not possible to diagnose Choi Mi-soon with this level of testing.
“Elder. When did you have your meal?”
“You haven’t eaten anything since last night. As the pain gets worse, I think you’ve lost your appetite.”
“I’m broke without even drinking a sip of water.”
Yang Tae-min and Choi Mi-soon added a word each.
“Then I’ll just do one test. The results will be accurate when they come out, but you may need to be hospitalized.”
“I was bored at home. It was good. Well.”
Choi Mi-soon’s words pierced my heart.
Ki-seok Choi smiled awkwardly and placed an order for a lung CT scan using contrast agent. And then I went back up to the thoracic surgery ward to work on the ward.
An hour later, when I checked the chart, the results of the CT reading came to mind.
[Conclusion: Evidence of lung cancer(Left upper lobes)
“Haa…”
Choi Ki-seok’s head dropped.
* * *
The hectic workday is over.
Choi Ki-seok examined the patients using the eyes of Hippocrates as usual. Then, I stopped in front of the hospital room where I heard a commotion.
“So, call the handsome doctor bachelor.”
“Elder. Teacher Choi is busy and can’t come. I will do it for you.”
“If the doctor doesn’t come, I won’t have my blood drawn.”
When Choi Ki-seok, who had been listening to the conversation, entered the hospital room, the two people’s eyes focused on him.
“Teacher Cho. I will take care of this old man.”
“But you must be busy…”
“It’s okay.”
Choi Ki-seok sent Jo Eun-ji away and stood next to Choi Mi-soon. Only then did Choi Mi-soon smile, revealing her teeth.
“Do you still remember?”
“Of course. I was supposed to do the injections into your veins and draw the blood.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled as he recalled memories of the past. And after completing the Allen test (a test to check for circulatory failure in the wrist artery), ABGA (arterial blood collection) was performed.
Fuuuuuk!
[The vampire title effect is activated. The blood collection success rate increases to 100% and the patient’s pain is reduced by 50%.] [
You have obtained 10 P.P. through treatment .
A small amount of stamina is recovered through the patient’s vitality effect.]
“Send it to the examination room immediately.”
“yes.”
After Jo Eun-ji left after receiving the syringe, only two people remained in the hospital room.
The two stared at each other in silence for a while.
“How did you become so dignified while we’ve never seen each other?”
“Of course. Now I have someone under me.”
“Anyway, I’m going to do well as a bachelor doctor. I’m going to become the best doctor in our country.”
Choi Mi-soon raised her thumb and praised him.
“How have you been?”
“I just watched TV in the corner of the room. I think it would have been better to have been hospitalized. I came to the hospital and got to see the doctor and the bachelor’s face and talk to him. By the way…” “….” “I’m seriously ill
again
. Did you get caught?”
Choi Mi-soon’s question took my breath away.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that she had lung cancer.
How can I say that I have cancer again when I suffered greatly from stomach cancer a year ago?
“Well… we’ll have to do more tests tomorrow to find out.”
“The test was done during the day, too. So, tell me at least a little bit about where the pain is. I wouldn’t have had you hospitalized because you were sick.”
“Seeing as you vomited blood, I think you have a problem with your lungs.”
“lights?”
Choi Mi-soon tilted her head.
“If there is blood, isn’t there something wrong with my stomach?”
“Blood coming out of the stomach is called hematemesis, and blood coming out of the lungs is called hemoptysis. The old man spit out blood here, not here.”
Choi Ki-seok pointed to the abdomen and chest in turn with his index finger.
Choi Mi-soon nodded as if she understood.
“Actually, what’s so important about that? It’s not a good idea to live long anyway.”
“Don’t say things like that. You promised me. You would live a healthy life until you see your second son’s grandchildren.”
“That’s right, but…”
Choi Mi-soon continued weakly.
“But these days, Seo-bang keeps appearing in my dreams and asking me to go somewhere with him. Maybe it’s really time to go now.”
“You heard wrong. My husband in heaven must have told me not to come.”
“Ah, it would be nice if it were like that, but…”
“Cheer up. I’m by your side.”
Choi Ki-seok massaged Choi Mi-soon’s shoulders and used encouragement.
Hehehe.
As the light from his body seeped into Choi Mi-soon, her expression brightened somewhat.
“That’s right. Why not live until you poop on the wall?”
“Well, you have to do that.”
Choi Ki-seok returned to the conference room after talking with Choi Mi-soon. And the tests and treatments needed for Choi Mi-soon were included in the chart.
I suddenly felt regretful.
The fact is that we cannot see the stage (advanced stage) of cancer through the eyes of Hippocrates.
If lymphatic metastasis is suspected based on the CT results, it means that it is at least stage 2…
I just hope that tomorrow’s biopsy is not serious.
After finishing my work, I started studying English.
My study efficiency was good today.
When I studied listening, the English pronunciation in the textbook stuck in my ears. When studying conversation, expressions that I had memorized came out naturally, and my pronunciation of butter became stronger than usual.
‘Oh, I see.’
Choi Ki-seok realized it too late.
The fact that I am seeing the effect of the gem that doubles my foreign language learning ability that I acquired this morning.
Otherwise, efficiency could not have increased this much.
Choi Ki-seok was so absorbed in studying English that he didn’t notice the passage of time.
But after a while, someone came into the conference room.
This is Jang Hyuk-pil.
“You’re working hard.”
“Oh yes, Professor. I already had something to tell you.”
Ki-Seok Choi took out his earphones and stared at Hyuk-Pil Jang, and Hyuk-Pil Jang nodded and sat across from him.
“Have you decided where to go?”
“yes.”
“What is the answer?”
“I want to join Professor Jang’s Saber team.”
Jang Hyuk-pil laughed, showing his teeth at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“That’s a good decision. If you want to grow up quickly, it’s better to stay with me.”
“I thought so too.”
Tiring!
[You have joined the Saber team. You have obtained a new rank, Saber Team 1st and 2nd Assistant.]
[You can receive various rewards depending on your activities within the team.]
A notification flashed through my head.
There is no doubt that the Saber team activities will be a new turning point in the doctor’s life.
Choi Ki-seok was determined to make the difficult surgery his own.
“Did you talk to Professor Kwon?”
“Yes. I told you in the morning that I would join the Saber team.”
“You do things neatly. Do you think you can become a real fox?”
“What do you mean…”
“Just skip over it.”
Hyukpil Jang smiled and got up from his seat. And then I stared at Choi Ki-seok in front of the board.
“Now that we’re officially a team, shall we talk about our future plans?”
“….”
“Actually, you are the first staff member of the Saber team.”
“Me?”
Choi Ki-seok asked back in surprise.
There are only about three months left to remodel the heart clinic.
However, the team members are not yet in place… This
is not like Jang Hyuk-pil’s style of handling the work.
“There’s no need to be too surprised. It’ll all be sorted out within the next week.”
After finishing speaking, Hyukpil Jang began writing something on the board.
Surgeon: Hyukpil
Jang 1st Assistant: ?
2nd Assistant: Ki- Seok Choi
Anesthetist: Cheon-Soo Bae
Disinfection Nurse: ?
Heart-lung technician: ?
“This is the core staff of our Saber team. The anesthetist is scheduled to join next week, so there is no problem. There are two candidates for the heart-lung technician, so all I have to do is choose.”
“Isn’t the first assistant Professor Yoon?”
“No. Professor Yoon is not suitable for Saber. He is in charge of the coronary artery surgery part and doesn’t have the energy to worry about this part.”
“That’s surprising. I thought you two were pretty close.”
“You have to distinguish between public life and life.”
bang! bang!
After finishing speaking, Hyukpil Jang pointed to the first assistant section and the disinfection nurse section with a projector pointer.
“Anyway, the most urgent things are the first assistant and disinfection nurse. For the first assistant, I’m planning to scout staff from other universities, but this isn’t easy at all.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to supplement the first assistant position with internal personnel? I don’t think we have much time left.”
“no.”
Hyukpil Jang shook his head resolutely.
“That person must come. That way the team will become more of an issue.”
“Who are you thinking about?…”
“I’ll teach you when you join.” After looking into it, I found out that Ki-seok is also related to you.”
“… I understand.”
“The last person left is the disinfection nurse… I need you to use your strength for this person.” ”
Me?”
Choi Ki-seok shouted loudly. I asked back.
How could he, a first-year student, get a disinfection nurse?
Jang Hyuk-pil’s suggestion was absurd.
“I heard you’re strong and close with nurses? “If I persuade you well, won’t you join the team?”
“Professor. Teacher Kang is a nurse in the ward.”
“…You’re so close to me, but you still don’t know? Nurse Hana Kang used to be an operating room nurse. He also specialized in thoracic surgery. I heard that his skills were one hundred per day?”
Choi Ki-seok’s mouth widened at Jang Hyuk-pil’s words.
The incarnation of the old man gag is the best operating room nurse?
