Level Up Doctor - Chapter 1
Prologue
murmur.
The door opened and a man wearing a doctor’s gown entered the room.
The man looked down at the patient seated by the window in silence.
Patient number: 745898
Male/Jeong Hae-jin/29 years old
The patient’s name plate swayed lonely in the wind blowing from the window.
“You stupid bastard.”
Taesik Kim bit his lip.
Jeong Jeong-eun is a thoracic surgery resident with Tae-sik Kim and is three years younger than him.
Until at least a week ago.
That junior was now relying on a respirator to survive.
After leaving the hospital for a short time, he got into a car accident.
The moment I remembered that I would bring snacks when I returned, my heart ached.
“I’ll let you go now.”
“······.”
“But don’t feel so lonely. Like you said, this might not be the end, but a new beginning.”
Taesik Kim placed his hand on Jeong Jeong’s chest.
Thump
Return (1)
Jeong Jeong was walking through a dark tunnel.
The destination is the end of the tunnel where white light leaks.
However, I didn’t know why I had to go to the end of the tunnel. I’m just walking as my body tells me to do.
How long did you walk?
“ha······.”
Jeong Jeong stopped walking for the first time.
I didn’t stop walking because it was difficult. In fact, my body was not tired at all.
I simply didn’t feel the need to walk any further, so I stopped.
“Hey. It’s easier if you give up.”
“You always do things foolishly.”
The moment the words of his colleagues and seniors rang in his ears, Jeong Jeong sat down.
Now is the time to rest.
Isn’t it true that no one will notice that you live hard?
The light leaking from the end of the tunnel became increasingly faint.
Jeong Jeong’s body began to be stained with darkness.
“Teacher. Thank you.”
Suddenly, a woman’s smile appeared.
The woman who was in charge for the first time after becoming a resident.
Jeong Jeong burst out laughing as he remembered her dream of becoming a celebrity.
But it didn’t end there.
The faces of the patients I had treated so far flashed through my mind.
As warm feelings spread throughout my body, I gained the strength to stand up again.
Jeong Jeong started walking again.
If I pass through this tunnel, I wonder if I can see their smiles again.
After that, what felt like an eternity passed.
Jeong Jeong arrived at the end of the tunnel with indomitable will.
“ah······.”
As I passed through the tunnel, a dazzling light enveloped my body.
* * *
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.”
Jeong Jeong groaned and opened his eyes.
The eyes scanning the surroundings grew bigger and bigger.
Currently, Jeong Jeong was lying in bed receiving intravenous fluid. I was in a car accident before my memory stopped, so it was natural for me to be in the hospital.
What is unusual is that he is in a sterile room.
white room.
This hospital room is mainly used by pediatric cancer or leukemia patients.
The designated room was a single room and was equipped with various furniture, including a TV.
I got out of bed thinking something was strange.
“······.”
Jeong Jeong’s face hardened after checking the patient’s name plate.
Patient number: 859741
Male/Choi Ki-seok/26 years old
I looked in the mirror, just in case. Inside was a young man with a face as white as dough. At that moment, Jeong Jeong’s mouth opened wide.
“What is this?”
Jeong Jeong looked at the mirror with a distraught face.
When I came to my senses after a car accident, I found myself a completely different person…
What kind of absurd thing is this?
I pinched my cheek to see if it was a dream, but it just felt hot.
Jeong Jeong sat on the bed and was lost in thought.
Jiyiing.
With a strange resonance, Choi Ki-seok’s memories passed by like a flash of light.
Choi Ki-seok is the son of a wealthy family.
He studied well enough to be called a genius and entered medical school at Uijin University, which is said to be the best in the country.
While attending school, I visited the hospital due to shortness of breath and chest pain, and received shocking news through tests.
There was cardiomyopathy.
Despite treatment, my heart continued to deteriorate, and it reached its worst point when I took the medical exam. And recently, he became a heart transplant recipient and received Jeong Jeong’s heart.
“But why······.”
Jeong Jeong stared at the ceiling with a dejected expression.
If Choi Ki-seok had donated his organs, he should have survived, so why did he survive?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
“Maybe I have one more chance…”
Jeong Jeong was in a daze and muttered.
Choi Ki-seok, the protagonist of this body, is a hot medical student who has just taken the medical exam.
In other words, Jeong Jeong was able to become Choi Ki-seok and plan a new life by becoming a general physician.
It’s a pity for Ki-Seok Choi, the main character of the original body, but this situation is unavoidable even for Jeong-Ji.
Jeong Jeong quietly looked down at his hands.
In the past, he was a third-year thoracic surgery resident.
I tried my best to become a good doctor, but my skills were not very good.
Among doctors, he belonged to Dunjae.
When he finished his internship and said that he would apply for cardiothoracic surgery, his classmates all laughed at him.
A chest report in thoracic surgery.
Get me a doctor who catches people.
Some people did not hesitate to say things that seemed to ignore the rules.
Jeong Jeong continued his hospital stay with a venomous spirit in order to allay the concerns of those around him.
And I was hit with both luck and misfortune.
Luck was surpassing the level of his peers through indomitable efforts, and misfortune was a car accident.
“Let’s start again.”
Jeong Jeong’s eyes burned brightly.
My second life as a doctor.
This time, I will definitely become the best thoracic surgeon.
Maybe his growth into an outstanding doctor will be a way to repay his debt to Choi Ki-seok.
But it is that moment.
plod along.
I heard footsteps, so I looked at the hospital room door and made eye contact with the nurse who was making rounds.
The nurse flinched in surprise.
“Are you awake?”
Nurse Lee Mi-ae stood in front of the hospital room door and spoke.
“yes.”
“Please wait.”
After a while, Lee Mi-ae came into the sterile room wearing an extra gown.
Lee Mi-ae checked Jeong Jeong’s vital signs and smiled brightly.
“Everything is normal. Is there anything particularly uncomfortable?”
“Nothing at all.”
Jeong Jeong shook his head.
My head felt dizzy and my body felt tired, but that was because I had been lying unconscious for so long as if I were dead. I could not feel any side effects from the heart transplant.
After a moment of silence, Jeong Jeong opened his mouth.
“Hey… nurse teacher.”
“Do you need anything?”
“Ah…no, there isn’t any.”
Jeong Jeong rubbed his eyes.
“Please speak comfortably. There is nothing to hide.”
“Not really.”
“Please let me know if you feel unwell or have any discomfort.”
Lee Mi-ae left the sterile room.
“Did you go crazy after entering someone else’s body?”
Jeong Jeong continued to look at the spot where Lee Mi-ae was standing. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I saw something strange together.
I drank the water on the table and stood in front of the mirror.
Surprisingly, the things I saw earlier came to mind next to the mirror.
