Level Up Doctor - Chapter 141
What to do (6)
“Here it is.”
When Choi Ki-seok stood up and called, a man in a suit approached the table.
“Who is this?”
Park Kwang-soo narrowed his eyes at the appearance of an unfamiliar person.
“Hello. My name is Kang Jin-hyeon, an aide to National Assembly member Park Sang-hyun. This is Mr. Choi Ki-seok and this is reporter Park Gwang-soo, right?”
“Yes, that’s right, but…”
“Nice to meet you.”
Kang Jin-hyeon handed the two people a business card and sat down.
“Mr. Choi, what is this….”
“I’ll explain now.”
Choi Ki-seok stared at Kang Jin-hyeon with a smile.
To resolve this Elita incident, we decided to borrow the power of National Assembly member Park Sang-hyun.
Not long ago, while preventing Park Sang-hyun’s daughter from having an asthma attack, Park Soon-jae received the right to wish.
Now is a good time to take advantage of it.
“The congressman is very interested in this matter.”
Kang Jin-hyeon paused and then continued speaking.
“He said that if he could get the right data, he would bring this to the surface. As you know, our congressman is very interested in the field of health and welfare.”
“Of course I know.”
Park Kwang-soo nodded slightly.
It was Park Sang-hyun who exposed the side effects of a new drug called Zelie during a government audit last year. If Park Sang-hyun steps forward in this matter as well, it is quite possible to bring down Elita.
“Then shall we summarize the plan?”
Choi Ki-seok took the lead in the conversation.
First, the data obtained from Kim Cheol-woo is handed over to Park Gwang-soo to make the side effects of Elita an issue.
The final plan is for Park Sang-hyun to step forward by securing additional data on side effects that were buried later.
“You’ll have to open the lid to find out, but I agree.”
“There is no reason to refuse.”
Kang Jin-hyeon and Park Gwang-soo agreed to Choi Ki-seok’s suggestion.
“Thank you again to both of you. And I hope we can talk often during the process.”
Choi Ki-seok concluded the additional agreement and parted ways with the two people.
As he walked through the lobby with a relieved heart, someone touched his arm from next to him.
When I turned my head, a foreign woman was hesitating.
“Excuse me. Where is the neurosurgery department?”
The woman asked in English.
“Is today the day you get treatment?”
“Yes. It’s my first time here, but it’s so complicated that I don’t know where I am.”
“It’s worth it. Follow me.”
Choi Ki-seok got on the escalator while talking to a woman.
“From your accent, I think you’re from England. Is that correct?”
“That’s right. I’m from Wales. You speak English well? The doctor I met earlier ran away when I asked him for directions.”
“I am taking my time studying separately. That place over there is the neurosurgery department. If you tell the nurse, she will call an interpretation coordinator.”
“Be kind too. Thank you very much.”
The woman smiled brightly.
But it is that moment.
Tiring!
[You have partially completed the mission towards Meijo.]

[If the mission is successful, you will be given a skill book that can increase the level of the desired skill by one level.] [
With Song Myeong-jin’s help, the probability of entering the Mayjo Clinic increases significantly.]
Passing by my ear That thought suddenly occurred to me when I saw the notification.
As Song Myeong-jin said, the time to leave Uijin University is near.

The work day is over.
Choi Ki-seok used the eyes of Hippocrates and visited the hospital room.
Since there were no abnormalities in the general ward and pediatric ward, the patient went to the intensive care unit.
‘Whew…’
The moment I checked on Na Jae-hyun, who had undergone Norwood surgery, the tension disappeared like melting snow.
Na Jae-hyeon had a seizure two hours after surgery.
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong now, but we will have to be especially careful tonight.
Choi Ki-seok returned to the duty room after asking the intensive care unit nurses to watch Na Jae-hyeon carefully.
“Uh, Professor? Didn’t you get off work?”
“It’s not that I didn’t do it, it’s that I couldn’t do it? It’s because of you.”
Jihye Yoon pursed her lips.
“I feel bad for saying it’s because of me.”
“Of course I have to do it. Last time, I asked you to teach me robotic surgery. I got the chance today.”
“Then can I learn today?”
“huh.”
“thank you.”
Yoon Ji-hye smiled as she watched Choi Ki-seok running around.
An ordinary resident would refuse to teach even if taught, saying it would be difficult, but Choi Ki-seok’s attitude is the exact opposite. That’s Choi Ki-seok’s charm.
‘You must be good at it, right?’
Jihye Yoon muttered to soothe her sore stomach.
I think it was about two weeks ago.
While I was on my way to exercise, I saw Choi Ki-seok walking arm in arm with a female doctor.
I couldn’t describe in words the shock I felt at that time.
Because I never dreamed that he, who only knows medicine, would have a girlfriend.
After Yoon Ji-hye found out that he had a girlfriend, she deliberately distanced herself from Choi Ki-seok.
To protect your own heart.
However, I couldn’t help but feel a strong desire to be with Choi Ki-seok every time I saw him.
In fact, the reason I decided to teach robotic surgery was because I wanted to be with him rather than repay the favor of the symposium.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
The two left the duty room and took their seats in the operating room D rosette.
Unlike other rosettes, the D rosette had a robot attached to the operating table. Non-invasive robotic surgeries such as stage 1 lung cancer or MIDCAB are performed here.
‘This day is coming.’
Ki-Seok Choi glanced at the robot and was thankful for his luck.
Typically, fellows must be in their first or second year to learn robotic surgery. However, in only my first year of registration, I learned robotic surgery from an expert in robotic surgery.
“Since it’s the first day, I’ll just teach you the structure of the robot and simple operations.”
Jihye Yoon stood in front of the operating console.
“As you know, this is the console where we control the robot. The console can be roughly divided into three parts. The first is the monitor that transmits the endoscope’s images, the handle that controls the robot arm, and the last is the paddle. “You can control your vision through it.”
After finishing her explanation, Jihye Yoon placed a piece of gauze on the operating table.
“Do you want to try flying it?”
“I like it.”
“First, try moving your vision first.”
Choi Ki-seok sat at the console and stepped on the left paddle.
Then the monitor’s gaze moved to the left and the gauze was no longer visible.
“Wow. That’s fascinating.”
“Is it difficult to be this surprised?”
Yoon Ji-hye smiled and continued.
“There are only four paddle movement patterns: up, down, left and right, so you will be able to memorize them in no time.”
“yes.”
Choi Ki-seok learned to change his perspective by stepping on the paddle.
“Next is the handle. There are seven robot arms, but the surgeon can actually move only three. For now, just move whatever you want.”
“yes.”
Choi Ki-seok held the control device in his hand.
Holding the handle like this in my hand made me feel like I was controlling a robot like a cartoon character.
Weeeeeee.
When the control device was pulled upward, the robot arm moved upward, and when the handle was grasped with the hand, the device connected to the robot arm retracted.
It was amazing that the robot followed his instructions exactly.
“I’ll try to lift the gauze.”
He moved the steering wheel, showing confidence.
Eventually, he grabbed the gauze with his right robotic arm and lifted it up.
He went one step further and grabbed the gauze with his left robotic arm.
“you are good?”
“I guess I’ve already inherited the professor’s skills,”
Choi Ki-seok said half jokingly and half seriously.
[Robotics Lv.1]
– When performing robotic surgery, your robot handling ability and robot treatment speed increase by 1.5 times.
– As the level increases, abilities increase.
– The maximum level is level 5.
I gained skills while helping Jihye Yoon with her MIDCAB surgery.
Even if it was the first operation, it was bound to be superior to others.
“You already learned it from someone other than me, right?”
“Of course. Then why would you ask the professor?”
“Just kidding. I forgot you were such a monster. Just wait a moment.”
Jihye Yoon changed the settings of the robotic arm and placed the sutures and teddy bear on the operating table.
“Professor, really?”
“That’s right. Try suturing something that has already been done like this. If proper suturing is possible, robotic surgery is almost complete. Excision or hemostasis does not require as precise movements as suturing.”
“All right.”
Choi Ki-seok held the suture needle with his right robotic arm and pushed it into the teddy bear’s abdomen.
“Oh… oh my.”
Mistakes were made from the beginning.
The needle was supposed to go into the white belly of the teddy bear, but I ended up sticking the needle into the wrong neck.
The feeling of operation was definitely different from when making simple movements.
“There are two reasons why robotic surgery is difficult. One is that you cannot feel the sensation with your hands because you are not suturing directly, and the other is that the movements must be meticulous.”
“I’ll try again.”
Ki-Seok Choi removed the suture needle and moved the robot arm again. But this time the challenge also failed. While lowering my arm a little while ago, I accidentally stuck the needle near my leg.
After several attempts, I finally managed to insert the needle into my stomach.
Afterwards, the needle was pulled with the left robotic arm and the tissue was pulled appropriately.
“Why not?”
Choi Ki-seok sighed and took his hand off the steering wheel.
While tying the knot, the thread got tangled.
I was able to force my way to the point where I had to force the needle, but it was impossible to slow down the progress any further.
“The difference between seeing and doing is definitely the difference between heaven and earth. I didn’t know it would be this difficult.”
“You did really well for your first time. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Yoon Ji-hye and Choi Ki-seok switched places.
Weeeeeee. It rattled. Weeeeeee. It rattled.
Jihye Yoon performed the suturing as naturally as if she were a robot.
All types of sutures, from the most basic simple interrupted suturing to the most difficult, were demonstrated, and the field of view was freely moved while pedaling along the way.
The Robot Empress was different.
“Professor. You are truly amazing.”
“I know.”
Jihye Yoon smiled mischievously and stood up.
“I asked the operating room head nurse to borrow a rosette up to twice a week. I think you can practice with me until next week and then practice on your own from then on.”
“thank you.”
Choi Ki-seok bowed his head. I was grateful to Jihye Yoon for her careful attention to detail.
“I will practice hard from now on so that I can operate like the professor.”
“You can do it. Let’s get organized and go in.”
The two cleaned up the area and left the operating room.
“Kiseok.”
“yes.”
“We… no. That’s enough.”
“Why are you making me wonder and not saying anything? This is against the rules.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. I’ll go in first, so stay on guard.”
“I think you’re probably hungry. Would you like to have a late-night snack?” ”
…It’s okay.”
Ji-hye Yoon went down to the first floor with a sad expression, and Ki-seok Choi blankly watched her back.

Two weeks have passed since then.
The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Uijin University has experienced a lot.
With the remodeling of the heart clinic completed, extensive publicity and treatment took place.
The Saber team operated on another case patient and achieved good results, and Norwood The team also successfully performed the second surgery as if they could not lose.
In the meantime, Ki-Seok Choi learned robotic surgery and waited for the time to strike Yangcheon Pharmaceutical.
Monday, the start of a new week.
Ki-Seok Choi stretched out coolly and headed to the hideout.
His steps were unusually light . Today is the end of 100 days of duty.
