I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 507
The Surgeon Who Became a Fire (507): Abduction
Fame is created by the media (2)
Whoa~.
Eom Sang-hee, who suffers from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, let out a short sigh while reading a medical magazine. The magazine contained introductions to talented foreign doctors.
‘I wanted to be operated by doctors like this…’
For her, who owns several high-rise buildings in Gangnam, the cost of surgery is not that big.
So, I contacted competent foreign doctors.
However, foreign surgeons, including Cale Bout, were not the ones who could get surgery just because they had money.
Most of them refused, and Cale Bout, who said he would accept the reservation, said that it would be possible in six months, and Dil Dawson said that this year’s surgery schedule was full, so it would be next year.
My whole body feels dizzy and stuffy from breathing right now, so how could I wait for such a long time?
Because of this, she had no choice but to be hospitalized at Daehan University Hospital, which is said to be the best at heart surgery in Korea.
He mobilized all the people around him to set up a date for surgery, and in just a week, the date was set, and today was the day he decided to have surgery.
Although the surgery time, which was supposed to be in the afternoon, was delayed to the evening, it was tolerable.
‘The conglomerates must have called in these doctors from abroad…’
Since the hospital where she was hospitalized was a ward where only VVIPs were hospitalized, it was common to see politicians and people from chaebol families even in the break room. Some of them used to call these names from medical journals and collaborate with doctors at this hospital.
He hears that he is wealthy, but only when he becomes truly rich with money, power, and personal connections that he cannot match, he can call such a famous doctor to undergo surgery.
“Mom, what are you looking at so intently?”
At that time, the daughter who went out for a while came back.
“Yeah, I was looking at some names in magazines.”
“Look at that, what are you doing? These doctors gave up because they were too late to make an appointment anyway…” “
…..”
The daughter’s eyes widened as she looked at the picture in the magazine her mother was looking at.
“what! This doctor… I saw you in the break room a while ago.”
“huh? Who did you see?”
“Here is this female doctor. Your name is Mel Gibbs. Apparently, I was drinking coffee from a vending machine in the break room a while ago.”
“He is too. Mel Gibbs is one of the best cardiothoracic surgeons in Canada. Would such a person be drinking coffee from a vending machine in this hospital break room? You must have seen it wrong.”
“no. definitely this woman She’s pretty, so I’ve seen her for a long time.”
Eom Sang-hee looked at her daughter’s face in disbelief. It didn’t seem like he was lying.
“Are you sure this is the woman?”
Suddenly, Um Sang-hee’s eyes changed slightly.
“It is clear.”
“Earlier, the professor who will operate on me during the day came and said that I would have to collaborate with another doctor, and that the cost could be added… Then, is Mel Gibbs collaborating?”
“How much extra did you say it would cost?”
“I don’t know, money isn’t the problem.”
“Mom, this is a doctor who couldn’t make an appointment even if Mom tried to apply it with money. But would such a doctor come all the way here and say that collaboration only adds to the cost? I must have trembled all kinds of mischief.”
“Then wasn’t that doctor here to operate on me?”
“I don’t think so. The chaebol from the next room must have come to operate on someone.”
snap.
In an instant, Eom Sang-hee grabbed her daughter’s hand.
“It’s Heejoo.”
“Why is this suddenly? mom?”
“You said the doctor at this hospital was your friend, right?”
“Yes. That’s why you got your mother’s surgery done so quickly.”
“Ask the doctor to let Mel Gibbs operate on me too.”
“Oh mom. Even if my friend is a doctor, it’s difficult to change the surgeon for today’s operation.”
“It is difficult. Doesn’t your mother know what’s difficult? But if I’m going to get it, I want to get it from the best surgeon. It’s not another part, it’s the heart… You know that. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has a very high probability of sudden death during surgery. They say that Professor Jeon In-seok is the best at this hospital… but today could be the last time I see you like this.”
“Oh mom. What are you talking about!”
“So, ask your friend to make a case for me to change the doctor to Mel Gibbs. No matter how much money it costs, please. huh? Daughter, save this mother.”
When Eom Sang-hee begged, the daughter hesitated for a long time.
I had to say no, but I couldn’t help myself.
“mom. You may be criticized by your friends, but I’ll try to tell you. But if you say no to being friends, then I can’t help it anymore.”
“They say they’ll give your friend 100 million won if she lets her go through surgery.”
In an instant, Eom Hee-joo’s eyes widened.
“100 million? Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“Bitch! Are you saying that only 100 million won is a waste now that your mother’s life is going back and forth?”
“Oh no. That’s not what I meant, but I’m just relaying the words to my friends and even the professor… You don’t think you’re giving too much money?”
“Will your friend swallow 100 million alone? Shouldn’t we pay 100 million for that friend’s money to move?”
“I guess so. okay. I’ll tell my friend.”
“Don’t do it on your cell phone, call and tell me directly.”
“Yes. okay.”
Taking out her cell phone, her daughter called her friend and decided to meet her at the hospital coffee shop before going outside.

“Yes? The patient named Dr. Mel Gibbs as the surgeon he wanted to operate on?”
Hearing what Professor Jeon In-seok said, Han Jin-soo made a slightly absurd expression.
Professor Jeon In-seok, unable to meet Han Jin-soo’s eyes as if he was stung, coughed repeatedly.
Since the two were conversing in Korean, doctors like Dil Dawson and Mel Gibbs, who were in the party, only blinked their eyes, but couldn’t understand what they were saying.
“Kuhm, it seems that the patient’s guardian recognized Dr. Mel Gibbs in the break room. That’s why you’re begging me to talk to Dr. Mel Gibbs.”
Han Jin-soo turned his head and looked at Mel Gibbs.
She, too, was paying attention to what was going on when her name was mentioned in succession.
Han Jin-soo pondered for a while.
‘Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease that I have never had surgery on even when I was living as a fireman, so I wanted to experience it.
Although I hadn’t tried it, I was confident that I would do well in the operation.
However, even so, I also thought that if the patient wanted it, it would be better to have a cast with Mel, who has already experienced it several times.
I didn’t feel too good, but what can I do?
Han Jin-soo did not vote for such a thing and passed it over.
“Doctor Mel Gibbs.”
“yes. What’s going on, why does my name keep being mentioned?”
“The patient I’m supposed to operate on today wants to be operated on by Dr. Mel Gibbs.”
“yes? You want to have surgery on me?”
Mel Gibbs looked at Han Jin-soo and Professor Jeon In-seok with an absurd expression.
“yes.”
Professor Jeon In-seok nodded, and Mel Gibbs looked at Dill Dawson or Daniel Hammer next to him.
And he spoke.
“Is the patient an idiot? You want to have surgery on me, leaving only one person to perform surgery to remove President Ji-Pyung’s brain tumor?”
“It is not yet known to the public that I performed the brain surgery on the chieftain. So the patient will not know.”
“A reporter went there yesterday, didn’t he?”
“I decided to bet as an article tomorrow. The reporter who came yesterday was originally a reporter from the entertainment department, so it seemed like he needed a day or so to publish an article.”
“is it so? Hmm~. I’ve had many surgeries for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but…”
Should I say? Should I say I can’t do it?
Mel Gibbs looked at Han Jin-soo, Daniel Hammer, Dil Dawson, and Cale Bout, with his words blurring.
When I saw their interested eyes, I felt somewhat proud.
In Canada, everyone gives a thumbs-up to a doctor, but here, no one could say he was inferior to him. And Han Jin-soo was a doctor with phenomenal skills even in his own eyes.
Among these numerous doctors, he was singled out.
Not only that, but Han Jin-soo, who is no one else.
Originally, he came to see Han Jin-soo’s surgery, but he thought it would be okay to show off his skills in front of Han Jin-soo at least once.
“great. If a patient wants to be operated on by me, I will.”
When Mel Gibbs, who seemed to be struggling for a while, said he would perform surgery, Professor Jeon In-seok’s face brightened for a moment, then hurriedly took care of his expression and looked at Jin-soo Han.
Han Jin-soo looked at Professor Jeon In-seok and Mel Gibbs alternately and then nodded.
“I came here for an operation and ended up going to see Dr. Mel Gibbs’ surgery.”
“sorry. However, if Dr. Han Jin-soo wants to perform surgery, I will yield.”
“no. I also want to see Dr. Mel Gibbs’ surgery representing Canada. How are the others?”
Han Jin-soo looked at Daniel Hammer, Dill Dawson, and Cale Bout in turn, and they nodded as well.
“It’s a bit unfortunate that I wasn’t singled out, but it’s not bad to see Mel’s skills. After all, the chest area is Mel’s specialty.”
Mel Gibbs shrugged at Cale Bout’s words.
“I’m a little nervous because they’re all great people… but you won’t be disappointed.”
It sounds cheeky at first glance, but everyone nodded.
She was a talented person who could afford such arrogance.

“Mom! Dr. Mel Gibbs has decided to operate on my mother.”
Um Sang-hee’s eyes widened at her daughter’s fuss.
“I really? Did Dr. Mel Gibbs really decide to operate on me?”
“huh. I heard a confirmation from a friend a while ago.”
“Ho ho ho, it’s nice to have money as well!”
“Mom, you can’t forget how hard I worked.”
“of course. Now it’s time to relax!”
“I am also very relieved that my mother will be operated by Dr. Mel Gibbs.”
“Anyway, then I won’t be able to have surgery today.”
Eom Sang-hee glanced at his watch.
It was past 7pm.
Dr. Mel Gibbs would have come to operate on another patient, so he thought he would be next.
“No, I’m going to have surgery at 8 o’clock as scheduled.”
“huh? Could it be that Mel Gibbs offered to operate on me first?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know that much, but my friend said that the surgery will go ahead as scheduled.”
“Is that so?”
Knock knock…..
“Who are you?”
“I am the doctor in charge.”
“Ah yes. Come on in.”
After a while, the door opened and Professor Jeon In-seok, Mel Gibbs, Han Jin-soo, and other specialists entered.
“Now it’s almost time for the surgery… are you nervous?”
“Ah yes. But, my professor. Did my doctor really change to Dr. Mel Gibbs?”
“Your daughter made a very strong request, so Dr. Mel Gibbs agreed. Let’s say hello first. This is Dr. Mel Gibbs, who will operate on patient Sang-hee Eom today.”
“hello. nice to see you. i look forward to.”
“Ah yes. I can’t speak Korean well. But the operation is good. I will do my best.”
“As patient Sanghee Eom already knows, Dr. Mel Gibbs is one of Canada’s leading cardiology authorities. So, I’m sure today’s surgery will have good results.”
“Yes, thank you for caring so much.”
“Then, we’ll move to the operating room in a minute.”
“yes.”
After notifying the patient that the attending physician had changed, Professor Jeon In-seok came out of the room and glanced at Han Jin-soo.
‘You don’t look good either! Did you just say no? Did you do something stupid for a few pennies? Whew, but isn’t there anything that makes an impression after accepting?’
