I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 441

Surgeon who became angry (441): Abduction

awl comes out through the pocket (2)

‘Keuuuuuuu…..’

“Dad!”

“honey!”

Oh Gap-su could hear the voices of his daughter and wife vaguely as he slowly came to his senses with the excruciating pain.

‘Am I not dead?’

He was still in a hazy state, as if he hadn’t woken up yet, but he immediately remembered what situation he was in.

I love mountains so much that I always go hiking on weekends, rain or shine.

I heard that it would rain that day too, but I took a raincoat and climbed the mountain.

In the meantime, my feet slipped in the rain and I rolled down the canyon, and my thigh bone was seriously injured.

Fortunately, I didn’t lose consciousness, so I hurriedly called 911 and saw rescuers coming down from the helicopter.

Maybe after that, I felt relieved and lost my mind.

‘It must have been transported by helicopter and operated on!’

While organizing my thoughts, my hazy mind gradually became whole.

When my mind became clear to some extent, I instinctively checked the condition of my body.

I knew how to check myself by moving my fingers and toes because I had been hospitalized after a serious car accident before.

I tried to move my left foot, which I thought was the first thing to hurt.

‘I thought I was seriously injured, but seeing that my toes are numb and I can wiggle, I’m glad I wasn’t seriously hurt!’

I was instantly relieved.

If the thigh bone was injured enough to be visible, I thought that not only the muscles but also the nerves and tendons would have been severed.

Perhaps it was because he had shed a lot of blood, his whole body was weak, tired, and his stomach was not good, but he was able to endure it to some extent.

‘Seeing that the pain isn’t severe compared to the injury, they must have given you painkillers?’

As my mind became whole, I could clearly hear the voices of my wife and daughter, who had been vague, and opened my eyes spontaneously.

When I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry at first, but soon it came into focus and became clearer.

I could see the faces of his wife and daughter, whose eyes were red like rabbits and slightly swollen from how much they had cried.

“Oh Dad!”

“Honey…..”

Warak.

Suddenly, when his wife hugged him and his daughter shed tears, Oh Gap-soo was puzzled.

“Why are you both here? It’s like I’m a person who died and came back to life. I just hurt my leg.”

“It wasn’t just a slight injury to my leg, but if I hadn’t, I would have had to live without the use of my left leg forever.”

At that moment, Oh Gap-su heard a stranger’s voice.

I turned around and saw a doctor coming in with a nurse.

“You almost got crippled?”

Oh Gap-soo looked at the legs that didn’t move as if they were fixed on something.

Then, as before, I moved my toes.

It’s very painful and hard, but the toe still moves.

At this level, even if he was injured, it didn’t seem like he would have been crippled.

“yes. How lucky I was that only the femur bone was not broken. From the vastus medialis muscle to the iliotibial ligament feudal muscle…..and the femoral artery. You suffered a major wound that damaged more than half of the muscles, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves of your left thigh.”

In an instant, Oh Gap-soo’s eyes widened.

“I tried moving my left toe a little while ago… but it moved.”

“yes? Ah, it’s because I was good at surgery.”

The doctor seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but Oh Gap-soo was so preoccupied with looking at his wound that he didn’t see it.

“If I had come all the way to this hospital with such an injury, it would have taken me quite a while. Oh, did you come by helicopter right away?”

“No matter how quickly I arrived by helicopter, it is difficult to recover enough to be able to move my toes after only one day since the surgery.”

“That’s right. That is why I am so curious.”

“The operation was performed in a hermitage not far from where Oh Gap-su suffered a fall. The quicker the surgery, the quicker the recovery.”

“If it were a hermitage, it would not have been possible to perform surgery…”

“Oh Gap-soo was in such a critical condition that he did not have time to come to the hospital. Of course, the weather got worse, so the helicopter…”

When the doctor explained in detail what had happened while he was passed out, Oh Gap-soo knew that he was lucky.

“…If Dr. Han Jin-soo, who was hiking at the time, hadn’t been a doctor with great skills, Oh Gap-soo would probably have had a serious disability in his left leg for the rest of his life.”

“Then, isn’t that doctor Han Jin-soo a doctor at this hospital?”

“yes.”

“I should say thank you when I’m discharged later. Which hospital are you at?”

“I heard that a private hospital opened in Garak-dong not too long ago. I only received a business card and I haven’t even spoken on the phone yet.”

“Oh, then please let me know your contact information.”

“I’ll look into the affected area and let you know.”

After a while, when the nurse removed the bandages and saw his thighs full of stitches, Oh Gap-soo recalled the state of his thighs, where even the bones were exposed before passing out, and realized how badly he had been injured.

‘Huh! I had an operation like this, but I can move my toes… What an amazing doctor! Come to think of it, this doctor also has a familiar face. Could it be Professor Ko Hyeon-jong!’

Oh Gap-soo noticed that the doctor dressing his affected area was a famous doctor who had often appeared on TV.

With that level of fame and skill, it would be possible to have a resident or intern dress up, but I was doing it myself.

I don’t even know myself well, but caring so much was not special to me, but all patients were treated that way.

I thought that he was a doctor who deserved such a reputation.

* * *

‘Hehehe moving his toes… It’s only been two days since he had such an operation…’

Professor Goh sighed when he saw the patient Gap-su Oh move his toes.

In my experience so far, a person with a tendon, nerve, and even muscle injury cannot move his toe this quickly.

However, a while ago, something beyond her medical common sense happened right in front of her eyes.

‘I knew that the surgical skills were absurdly excellent, but it’s not something that can’t be recovered that quickly….. Did a miracle happen? Or is there something else I haven’t seen with my own eyes?’

While tilting my head, I suddenly remembered that Han Jin-soo had pulled out a long needle that looked like it was about a hand’s length from the patient’s neck after the surgery.

‘uh? Could it be that there’s a secret in that spit that I don’t know about? It’s unbelievable that just having the same effect as general anesthesia without using an anesthetic… Could it be that there’s something else?’

After the rounds, Professor Ko took some time to call his friend Professor at Daehan University Hospital.

The dial tone rang and the other person answered the phone shortly after.

-uh! Hyeonjong. It must be time to make rounds, but what is it?

“The rounds just went around. Can I talk to you right now?”

―Of course it’s possible, so isn’t that why I’m answering your phone like this?

“Then let me ask you something.”

―As long as it’s not about the noisy ledger these days, ask anything.

“Do you know a friend named Han Jin-soo who was a surgical resident and opened a while ago?”

-A doctor! He was a pretty capable friend on the surgical side. If he hadn’t had trouble with Professor Kim Joong-bae, he would have become a specialist this year, but he was unfortunately kicked out. But you’re asking about that friend? What happened?

“I was on an emergency dispatch by helicopter not too long ago, but I was in a situation where I had to perform an emergency surgery on the spot due to bad weather, but just in time, I got some help from that friend. But isn’t Professor Kim Joong-bae the younger brother of the director of your hospital?”

-that’s right.

“The director said that he had a lot of accidents in the past, and the director had a hard time resolving them… Oh, come to think of it, aren’t all the things that are being talked about in the media these days because of accidents caused by that younger brother?”

―Well, some things he set up and some things he didn’t. Anyway, our hospital is very complicated these days.

“If the hospital is noisy, the patients are bound to be agitated, but it must be difficult.”

―It’s hard, but in a way, it exploded well. It was a rotten wound, so if it wasn’t removed like this, it would develop into a bigger disease.

“Blood is thicker than water, so will the affected area completely go away?”

―Because he is a half-brother, his blood isn’t that deep. So maybe I’ll cut it out completely this time. I can’t help it or not

“Heh, that’s right. Or I can’t help it.”

-Anyway, I’m surprised. You’re calling me here to ask me about a doctor. I opened a doctor’s office, but because of Professor Kim Joong-bae, I was fed up with our hospital, so I wouldn’t even say that I worked here.

Professor Ko tried to guess what kind of person Han Jin-soo was while listening to his friend.

In fact, they work at the same hospital, but in the case of Daehan University Hospital, the number of nurses and doctors combined exceeds 1,000. Therefore, it is difficult to know the details of a person’s story unless they are in the same department.

However, the fact that his friend knows Han Jin-soo to this extent must be because he and Kim Joong-bae were turbulent, or because Han Jin-soo was so good that his friend took notice of him.

“Since the patient had quite a few cuts to the nerves, tendons, and blood vessels in her thigh, she had to reveal that she was a doctor before she could participate in the operation. However, it is surprising that he opened the clinic without being able to get a specialist.”

―No matter how good your skills are, don’t you know how difficult it becomes when you lose sight of your advisor? Moreover, the advisor is Kim Joong-bae, do I need to say more?

“I’ve heard many times that Professor Kim Joong-bae is intolerant, but doctors devote their youth to only one specialist for decades…” ―There

were so many things that I was embarrassed to tell you!

“I can imagine how dirty that is.”

―If I speak, my mouth will be dirty and your ears will rot. By the way, a doctor is a very good friend, but if your hospital has a surgical TO later, please help me get a specialist.

“If there is a TO, I will recommend it at zero rank. Everyone tends to avoid surgery, so even when I get TO, professors go around insisting, but interns don’t flock to it. Perhaps because the times have changed, everyone is focused only on lessons that make money.”

―It’s like any university hospital.

“I’m thinking of meeting a doctor soon, but I’ll have to ask him if he’ll come in when there’s a spot at our hospital.”

―Meeting a doctor? you yourself?

The friend seemed a little surprised.

Professor Go smiled bitterly.

Because of his high reputation, everyone considers himself to be a pretty great person.

‘It’s just that my hands are faster than other doctors….. Well, even those fast hands are turtle hands compared to one doctor. Tsk!’

Part of his reputation was created by the media, so it was a little burdensome when friends and fellow doctors reacted like this.

Of course, there are times when you benefit from that reputation.

“Seeing your skills makes me covet. But I heard you opened a clinic, so I’m worried that you might want to come to our hospital.”

―No matter how much you open a hospital, it is a lifelong wish to become a specialist, and you will never refuse.

“I guess so. By the way, I want to make this call longer, but the pager rings. It must have been an emergency patient. Call me again later.”

―Yes, good job.

“You work hard too.”

After hanging up the phone, Professor Ko looked at the pager.

If you get a call from the emergency room even though it’s not even at night, it means that you are an emergency patient.

When I hurriedly went to the emergency room, doctors and nurses were attached to a patient whose thigh had been cut in half in a car accident, checking vitals and drawing blood for testing.

“Did Dr. Choi call me?”

“Yes Professor. I think I will have to do surgery right away, but I think I won’t be able to do it alone.”

Professor Ko felt a strange déjà vu while examining the patient’s affected area.

‘Oh! This patient is almost as injured as the patient Oh Gap-soo who had surgery a while ago!’
