Level Up Doctor - Chapter 182
What you need (3)
“Mr. Choi!”
As I went outside the building, Kim Tae-hwan waved happily.
“Hello. I don’t know if you came all the way for no reason.”
“Well, I’m taking a short break from work. Please stay here for a moment.”
Kim Tae-hwan left the room and returned with a box of ramen.
“I felt so bad because I didn’t get it right last time. So I brought enough food for you today.”
“You should do business. I think you brought too much.”
Choi Ki-seok clicked his tongue as he looked inside the box. It contained ramen and kimchi that would last for at least a month.
This time, instant rice was added.
“You’re gulping while saying that.”
“…I guess I can’t fool the boss.”
The two people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
“From now on, I will always provide this much food. Instead, whenever my family gets sick…” ”
Even if you don’t provide this kind of food, we will provide medical treatment.”
“Of course, given Mr. Choi’s personality, it would be uncomfortable for us to receive it unilaterally.”
“All right.”
“Then I’ll just go…”
Kim Tae-hwan was unable to continue speaking.
His eyes looked into the distance and his mouth opened as if he was surprised.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“I… isn’t that a person?”
Taehwan Kim pointed to the rooftop of the main building with his index finger.
True to his word, a middle-aged man was standing on the rooftop railing.
If you take one more step, you will fall. People around you recognize the man and raise a voice of concern.
“Uh! Uh! It’s falling!”
“Isn’t that what we should do?”
As the man’s body swayed in the wind, more words were spoken.
“I guess I should go upstairs soon. See you next time.”
“Yes, sir. Please go in carefully. Stay healthy.”
Ki-seok Choi took the elevator after breaking up with Tae-hwan Kim. Then I got off at the top floor and headed to the rooftop through the emergency exit.
The image of a man standing on the railing continued to linger.
‘I can’t do this.’
I left the box of food in the aisle and ran up the stairs.
As I jumped up three or four stairs at a time, I quickly became out of breath and my body began to sweat.
But there was no time for any hesitation.
One of the truths I learned while working as a doctor is golden time.
Sometimes, the slightest difference in time can determine life or death.
Jump up!
I roughly opened the door and entered the rooftop.
“Mr. Choi?”
“I thought it was the police.”
Morgan and Jose arrived first and stared at Choi Ki-seok.
In addition to the two, nearly ten general surgery and gastroenterology staff members are confronting the patient.
“Haa…haa…haa…what happened?”
Choi Ki-seok took a breath and joined the group.
“You know the staff smokes on the rooftop, right? But it looks like someone was smoking and left the rooftop door open. Meanwhile, that patient came up…” “We have to stop it somehow. For the sake of the patients and for our hospital
. .”
Jose and Morgan each said something.
Ki-Seok Choi heard the situation and used the Eye of Hippocrates on the man standing on the railing.
The man had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Cancer cells spread to the liver and abdomen, with distant metastasis occurring.
It is no exaggeration to say that life is limited.
“Patient, please calm down and come down.”
“You have to think about your family too.”
“Isn’t it the same whether I die like this or like that? I’m done now. I won’t live for a few more months before I die!”
The patient’s screams spread like echoes.
The staff continued to try to persuade the patient, but the patient did not budge.
I definitely couldn’t make up my mind, and if I made up my mind, there was a risk of falling to my death at any time.
Trudging. Trudging.
Choi Ki-seok, who was watching the situation, approached the patient.
A red energy that no one else could see was emanating from his body like a thread.
[You have used Descent of the Tyrant. Temporarily increases strength and agility. Temporarily exudes a sense of intimidation to the patient.]
“Patient. Come down quickly. Then you will really fall.”
“You… what are you? Don’t come any closer.”
“It’s dangerous, so come down quickly!”
The patient looked frightened at Choi Ki-seok’s command.
Choi Ki-seok must have felt a sense of intimidation, which was a completely different reaction from when he was bickering with the staff.
“….”
“….”
The staff could not even swallow their saliva comfortably due to the tense tension between Choi Ki-seok and the patient.
They were also influenced by Choi Ki-seok’s charisma stats and Tyrant’s Descent skill.
“I’ll say it just one more time. Come down. If you have any concerns, we have to work them out together.”
“together?”
“yes.”
The patient paused at Choi Ki-seok’s answer.
He looked as if he was going to climb over the railing, but then nodded.
“Let’s solve something together. Cuck! I’m the one who’s going to die anyway. What can you guys do for me? Ugh!”
The patient screamed loudly.
[You failed to subdue the patient. [You cannot subdue a patient in a state of despair.]
Ki-Seok Choi checked the notification and scratched the back of his head.
If the Tyrant’s Descent is useless, there is nothing he can do in this situation.
The strange thing is that, unlike the situation, my mind is calm.
Additionally, I felt a strange conviction.
That patient can be saved….
‘Is this the effect of the Sixth Sense? Then, there is definitely a way to save the patient…’
Choi Ki-seok fell back and thought for a moment.
The situation escalated into a chaotic standoff.
Police officers were stationed on the rooftop, and air mat work was in full swing under the building. Reporters who smelled the incident even came forward to film it.
‘okay. ‘If that’s the case.’
Ki-seok Choi came up with an idea and snapped his fingers.
I once saw an article.
News of a police officer who brilliantly saved a patient attempting suicide.
Choi Ki-seok managed to persuade the police and obtain handcuffs. Then, putting the handcuffs in the gown pocket, he headed back to the patient.
“Again… is it you again?”
The patient frowned, but calmly narrowed the distance.
Eventually, they succeeded in advancing to a distance that the police and other staff could not reach.
It is the influence of the descent and charisma of a tyrant that is still maintained.
Trudging. Trudging.
Ki-Seok Choi walked further without hesitation and stood in front of the patient.
Now I could reach the patient just by stretching out my arm.
“Doctor! It’s dangerous. Stay back.”
“The patient may fall while holding on to the doctor.”
The police officer who was watching said something, but Choi Ki-seok waved his hand as if it was okay.
‘After all, that’s the only way.’
After doing a simulation in my mind, I made up my mind.
After all, he has Carlisle, who is immortal. If a problem arises, the item will protect you.
“Patient. You really don’t want to die, right? Didn’t you come here impulsively because you had no choice but to survive?”
“So what does it matter!”
The patient lost his temper and continued speaking.
“If you’ve come this far, you have to die. There’s no way.”
“I know this may be no consolation, but think again of your family. How sad they would be if you passed away like this.”
“That’s…”
While the patient was hesitating, Choi Ki-seok’s eyes sparkled.
Whirring. click!
Choi Ki-seok took out handcuffs from his gown and put them on one of the patient’s wrists.
It happened in the blink of an eye!
Not only the patient but also the people watching were shocked and shaking.
“What… are you doing now?”
“If you really want to die, die with me.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Yes. I’m crazy. I’m saying I’m crazy because the patient keeps trying to die.”
Choi Ki-seok continued speaking rapidly.
“Stop fighting lonely battles. As the patient said, if you’re going to die anyway, shouldn’t you make good memories and close your eyes in peace until then?”
“….”
“You knew, right? Isn’t that why you couldn’t jump until now?”
The patient lowered his head at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“I… what on earth are you going to do with me?”
“You just have to step outside the railing. And it’s not as hard as you think. You just have to move your body a little bit.”
“…Oh really.”
Ki-Seok Choi helped a patient in conflict get over the Tyler railing.
The situation is finally over.
The moment the patient’s safety was secured, police and staff rushed in.
click!
The handcuffs that connected the two people were released.
The patient disappeared in a stretcher car, and several police officers and staff took their positions around Choi Ki-seok.
“Mr. Choi, are you okay?”
Jose asked with a worried expression.
“It’s a little difficult. I’ll sit down for a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok slumped down on the spot. I was exhausted, perhaps because I had maintained the tyrant’s descent for a long time.
My limbs felt as heavy as wet cotton.
“You have amazing courage. How did you think about handcuffing that patient? If anything goes wrong…”
Morgan trailed off.
“I thought it would work. I saw an article with similar content in Korea. At that time, the main character was a police officer, not a doctor.”
“I can’t beat you, Mr. Choi.”
“I’m glad I found out now.”
Choi Ki-seok stood up holding Morgan’s outstretched hand.
I suddenly looked up and saw that the sky was as blue as a lake.
* * *
That afternoon.
Ki-seok Choi finished his surgical scrubs and headed to the ward.
“Dr. Choi. I heard you saved a patient who was about to commit suicide?”
“I heard they even handcuffed him and stopped him. That’s really cool.”
As I passed the station, the nurses showered me with compliments. What happened during the day had already spread throughout the clinic.
“Thank you. We must continue to work hard.”
Choi Ki-seok greeted with a shy expression and took care of the errands at the medical office.
I wasn’t happy about suddenly becoming a star.
With today’s incident, the staff’s expectations for him will rise further. If you don’t meet that standard, you could face backlash.
‘I’m tired. What is social life?’
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
Drurr.
The door opened and I turned my head to see Jonathan standing there.
“Are you busy?”
“No, I just finished my work.”
“Then let’s talk for a moment.”
Choi Ki-seok headed to the gastrointestinal surgery office with Jonathan.
“I heard what happened during the day. You saved a patient who was trying to commit suicide on the rooftop, right?”
“That’s true, but other staff members had a hard time besides me.”
“How humble. I heard you were the one who played a decisive role.”
Jonathan continued calmly.
“Meijo Clinic’s motto is patient-centered. If a patient had committed suicide, the image of our hospital would have been shattered. Not to mention our department and the Department of Gastroenterology, which had a direct relationship with the patient.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, today’s event has become an opportunity rather than a crisis. It’s proven how caring the Meijo doctors are for their patients.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“To be honest, I didn’t really like Mr. Choi. There were many similarities to a classmate I disliked.”
“Are you Professor Paul?”
“You’re quick to notice,”
Jonathan continued, grinning.
“But today’s incident has completely changed my mind. Smith is right. You are different from Paul. You know how to see patients. Can we look forward to it in the future?”
“Of course.”
“That’s an answer I like. Sooner or later there will be a proper reward for today’s work. Your news will be published in the clinic’s monthly magazine.”
“I understand.”
“I’m done talking now. Go to the conference room. I want to do an interview at the PPC broadcasting station.”
Choi Ki-seok bowed his head and left the office.
Tiring!
[You have obtained the material item Jonathan’s praise.]
[Reputation has increased to 5.]
