Eventful (2) The
full-fledged surgery began when Park Soon-jae was administered ECMO using the VV (a method of removing blood from a vein and then putting it back into the vein).
“Meth.”
Jihye Yoon received a scalpel from the disinfection nurse and cut Sunjae Park between the 3rd and 5th ribs.
MIDACAB, which will be held today, is a minimally invasive surgery.
Unlike typical CABG, the median sternotomy is not expanded.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The scalpel moved without hesitation.
While Ji-Hye Yoon was performing the necessary treatment, Jae-Hyeon Yoo, the first assistant, held the camera port. Then, a trocar was inserted between the patient’s intercostals and a view into the chest cavity was secured through a camera port.
Meanwhile, Ki-Seok Choi started setting up the robot.
The purpose is to equip the robotic arm with the necessary surgical tools.
‘thank god.’
Ki-seok Choi finished his work and stared at Ji-hye Yoon.
Perhaps thanks to the cold weather, Jihye Yoon’s treatment was bold and quick.
He didn’t seem to feel any pressure about performing surgery on his old teacher.
“From now on, we will harvest the internal thoracic artery. Heparin (anticoagulant).”
“yes.”
At Ji-hye Yoon’s instructions, Ki-seok Choi injected heparin through IV.
Weeeeeee. Weeeeeee.
The curtain rose on robotic surgery with the sound of a machine.
It rattled. It rattled.
As Jihye Yoon stepped on the pedal and adjusted the console, the monitor screen gradually changed.
Changing the 3D surgical field of view only possible through robotic surgery.
With a brief manipulation, the internal thoracic artery that needed to be removed was clearly revealed.
“That’s enough.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Jihye Yoon’s lips.
She manipulated the console and slowly dissected the internal thoracic artery.
The internal thoracic artery is located near the entrance to the thoracic cavity, and the artery here is harvested to create a bypass for the blocked coronary artery.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The scalpel attached to the robotic arm neatly removed the internal thoracic artery.
We have passed a critical juncture on the ridge called MIDCAB.
While Yoo Jae-hyun was storing the internal thoracic artery separately, Yoon Ji-hye sighed and stared into the observation operating room.
Jo Ji-hwan was looking down at the operating room with his arms crossed.
Before the surgery, his presence itself was a huge burden, but now it was different.
I just wanted to show it.
Her ability to manipulate robots surpasses that of Jo Ji-hwan.
Weeeeeee. It rattled.
Jihye Yoon moved the console and resumed the surgery.
When the pericardium was cut with a scalpel, the throbbing heart was revealed.
Choi Ki-seok, who was watching the process, took a retractor in advance and fixed the pericardium.
“You act like you don’t even say anything?”
A faint smile appeared on Jihye Yoon’s lips.
She created small holes on either side of the dissected internal thoracic artery. Then, one end was sutured to the upper part of the stenotic coronary artery and the other end to the lower part of the stenotic coronary artery.
Also known as Y graft.
Even though her heart was racing, Jihye Yoon made a clean detour.
The difficult MIDCAB surgery was successfully completed.
The entire process ended with Yoo Jae-hyeon suturing the excised area again.
Jihye Yoon got down from the console and looked down at Sunjae Park.
An overwhelming feeling surged from a corner of my heart.
‘I did it, Professor.’
* * *
Haejangguk restaurant near the hospital.
Ki-Seok Choi, Hyuk-Pil Jang, Hana Kang were waiting for food.
This event was created because Choi Ki-seok was unable to eat lunch due to back-to-back surgeries.
‘As expected, it’s amazing.’
Choi Ki-seok took a sip of water and looked at Jang Hyuk-pil.
The image of him performing heart rupture surgery was still vivid in my mind.
To shorten the surgery time, he sewed up the ruptured right atrium without using a heart-lung machine.
Nevertheless, it maintained incredible suturing speed and accuracy.
What would it have been like if someone else had done the work instead of him?
I definitely wouldn’t have made it into MIDCAB surgery.
In addition, I thought that Jang Hyuk-pil would be able to successfully perform Saber surgery.
“Thank you, professor. Thanks to you, I was able to assist in the surgery on time.”
“I did what I had to do. I should thank Mr. Kang.”
“Me? I haven’t done much either, have I?”
Kang Hana shrugged her shoulders.
“Thank you, Teacher Kang. I won’t forget what happened today.”
Choi Ki-seok also expressed his gratitude to Kang Ha-na. She is also credited with shortening the surgery time.
Kang Hana performed the role of second assistant perfectly.
Even though it has been a while since I quit my job as an operating room nurse.
“Hehe. That’s all I need to know. By the way, Professor.”
“why?”
“Will there be any problems with work today? The nurse is assisting the doctor, but if someone catches the eye…”
Kang Hana trailed off.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“really?”
“The people who came into the surgery today are all people who have direct or indirect influence with the Saber team. The only exception is intern Young-ho… Ki-seok can stop Young-ho from joining.”
Jang Hyuk-pil’s eyes turned to Choi Ki-seok.
“You can do it, right? Youngho will die if you say it.”
“How did you know that?”
“If you pay a little attention, you will know everything. When you give a conference presentation, Youngho’s eyes widen brightly and he follows you around like a chick.”
“I don’t think I can fool the professor.”
Choi Ki-seok once again felt that Jang Hyuk-pil’s political power was not just decoration.
“Anyway, this is what a good team is like. Because we can protect each other.”
Gurgling.
During the conversation, Ki-Seok Choi’s stomach rumbled.
Choi Ki-seok cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression, and Jang Hyuk-pil and Kang Ha-na burst into laughter.
After a while, the bone hangover soup I ordered came out.
“Professor. I’m really sorry, but I have something I want to tell you.”
“What is it?”
Jang Hyuk-pil tilted his head at Kang Ha-na’s words.
“I know I shouldn’t say this, but I just can’t help it. Can’t I just… order a bottle of soju?”
“I thought you were going to tell a big story again.”
“Don’t say things like that. This is huge, amazing, and incredibly important. There’s a world of difference between eating only hangover soup with bones and eating it with some accompaniment.”
“Mr. Kang. I guess you like drinking?”
“yes!”
Jang Hyuk-pil smiled at Kang Ha-na’s courageous answer.
“After the night was over, I even helped with surgery, so there’s no reason not to. Shall we just have a drink each?”
“Yes. I think one drink would be fine.”
“Here, please give me a bottle of soju.”
Soju came out at Jang Hyuk-pil’s order, and Kang Ha-na smiled and poured herself a glass.
“Now for the Saber team!”
“for!”
Chaeaeaeang.
The glasses clinked together and a clear sound rang out.
Choi Ki-seok emptied his drink and frowned slightly.
The aftertaste of soju, which I drank for the first time after finding a new life, was sweet.
“Professor. Are the team members getting together well?”
“Oh, that’s right. Teacher Kang has joined and Hidden Card has also decided to join, so the number of people is virtually full.”
“If it’s a hidden card, you mean the first assistant?”
Jang Hyuk-pil nodded slightly in response to Choi Ki-seok’s question.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun when he joins. We met last night and we talked about you, and he really wants to see you too.”
“Can you please tell me who that person is?”
Every time Hyukpil Jang aroused my curiosity, I felt like I was going crazy.
Who on earth is the person who claims to be related to the first assistant, who will be the core axis of the Saber team along with Jang Hyuk-pil?
“I will be joining the regular staff starting next week. Please check then.”
Jang Hyuk-pil teased Choi Ki-seok once more, and Choi Ki-seok slumped his shoulders.
The three continued eating while talking about the Saber team.
After the meal, Choi Ki-seok parted ways with the two people and headed to the main building.
However, the main building lobby was crowded with people.
I wondered why people had gathered, so I looked and saw that specially invited magicians were performing.
Whirly rirric.
A person dressed as a clown started juggling.
Even though there are as many as seven balls, the way he handles them freely is impressive.
Choi Ki-seok stopped without realizing it and watched the performance.
“We will be holding a special event from now on. If anyone who is watching succeeds in juggling, we will give you a special prize.”
At Pierrot’s words, the performance staff displayed the products.
There were about five products, including a shampoo set and a large penguin doll.
The condition for winning the prize is to maintain juggling for 10 seconds.
However, the prizes differed depending on the number of balls being juggled.
“Me! Me!”
A young man came forward excitedly.
The young man received three balls from the clown and started juggling.
At first, I thought it would hold up pretty well, but I quickly dropped a ball. Afterwards, several people tried the product, but all of them drank a bitter cup.
Although it looks easy, juggling is not easy.
‘There’s no way that just anyone can do it.’
As I was about to laugh and turn away, I heard the voices of a mother and daughter.
“Mom. I want that penguin doll.”
“No. There are a lot of dolls at home.”
“Tch. Those are all old and worn out. Friends don’t play with dolls like that.”
The young child stared at the doll with his hands clasped together. The child’s mother thought about this and then raised her hand.
“I will try.”
“Come out this way.”
The clown called the child’s mother to the stage.
“How many do I have to do to challenge that penguin doll?”
“You have to spin five balls. No one has tried yet, so wouldn’t it be better to choose another prize?”
“It can’t be done without that.”
“Okay. Then your name is….”
“I’m Han Yun-hee.”
“Now. This time, Yunhee Han is challenging herself to juggle five pieces. Everyone applaud!”
“Fighting, Mom!”
As the child cheered loudly, Han Yun-hee smiled faintly.
Soon, Han Yun-hee’s juggling continued.
Han Yun-hee succeeded in turning up to three balls with her dexterity and quickness. However, when I tried to add another ball, I did not receive the ball I had already passed.
Rumble.
The balls in the air scattered to the floor.
Han Yun-hee lowered her head and returned to her seat. And without saying a word, I held my daughter’s hand and tried to leave.
Choi Ki-seok, who was watching this, approached the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter were not doing well, and they seemed to have no financial means.
Since I could guess the situation, I couldn’t just pass it by.
In the past, when I lived in an orphanage, I was so envious of the toys that my other friends played with.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“yes?”
Han Yun-hee asked back in surprise.
“I didn’t mean to overhear, but perhaps you need that doll?”
Han Yun-hee’s face turned bright red at Choi Ki-seok’s question.
“Yes. I really want that doll.”
“Don’t talk nonsense in front of the doctor.”
Han Yun-hee scolded the child.
“But…”
“Maybe I can help you. Would you mind staying a moment?”
Choi Ki-seok grabbed the mother and daughter and excitedly went on stage.
“Unusually, this challenger is a doctor. His name is Choi Ki-seok, and he works in the Department of Thoracic Surgery.”
“That’s right. I’ll try juggling five.”
“Five? You must have just seen someone else get eliminated…”
“You can do it well enough.”
Choi Ki-seok bent his neck and unfolded the skill.
[You used the Tyrant’s Descent. Strength and agility temporarily increase.] Use the
skill. When he used it, his whole body was filled with strength.
Choi Ki-seok strengthened his resolve while looking at the child under the stage.
Tyrant’s Descent and Ambidextrous skills are skills that have an impact on daily life. With these two, even if it is your first time juggling, you will be able to succeed. I believed.
“Please welcome Teacher Choi Ki-seok’s challenge with applause.”
Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.
Receiving applause, he held the ball in his left hand.
Choi Ki-seok threw the first and second balls into the air one after another with his right hand. received the ball and continued to throw it with his left hand.
“Wow. Awesome!”
“Why are you so good at this?”
The people watching exclaimed in admiration one by one.
Ki-Seok Choi juggled skillfully like the clown who was demonstrating.
The ball spinning in his hand was like a ferris wheel.
The synergy of the descent of a tyrant and ambidextrous skills. It was much more powerful than I thought.
‘Should I learn boxing?’
While juggling, I had enough free time to think about other things.
“I’m going to count from now on. Ten… nine… five… three… one. That’s it. It’s a success!”
People applauded again as the clown shouted.
Ki-Seok Choi took the large penguin doll he received as a prize and handed it to the child.
“It’s a gift from the teacher. Instead, you shouldn’t make things difficult for Mom from now on.”
“Yes! Thank you.”
Choi Ki-seok also smiled at the child’s innocent smile.
