Level Up Doctor - Chapter 2
Return (2)
“I will return.”
Jeong Jeong grabbed her hair with both hands.
The strange information I thought was an illusion was not in vain.
Something so vivid and unfading could not be dismissed as vain.
What’s even more surprising is that this information points to his abilities.
Just like the characters in the game.
“The eyes of Hippocrates…”
Jeong Jeong stroked his chin with one hand.
I thought it was because of this passive skill that information appeared like a status window in a game.
Jeong Jeong gradually began to accept reality.
A car accident, brain death, and even a new life through a heart transplant.
After coming to consciousness, I was experiencing dramatic events one after another.
It didn’t take much time to accommodate the gaming capabilities.
Jeong Jeong took a closer look at his abilities.
In fact, Choi Ki-seok, the main character of The Body, is not yet a doctor.
If I passed the medical examination, only then could I become a general practitioner. However, in the status window, it said that I was a resident and that my specialty was thoracic surgery.
What does that mean?
The status window follows Jeong Jeong’s abilities, not Choi Ki-seok’s.
Jeong Jeong stared at the status window and stared at the bottom.
[Do you want to switch from medical mode to patient mode?]
When I thought I wanted to switch modes, the information window changed.
Stamina: 6/10
Main Symptoms: Lethargy / Chest Pain
Affected Area: Heart
Current Status: Non-Emergency
Progress: Very Good
[Passive level is low, so further details cannot be provided.]
“Is it useful?”
Jeong Jeong grinned.
Patient mode allows you to obtain information about the patient. At this level, a rough treatment plan can be drawn up without a test.
As the passive level increases, its use will increase even more.
Jeong Jeong’s hands suddenly gained strength.
This is definitely an opportunity.
To him who was considered slow, heaven opened up possibilities once more.
The path to becoming the best thoracic surgeon in the world.
When I decided to turn off the window, it disappeared like melting snow.
Jeong Jeong returned to the bed and fixed his eyes on the patient’s name plate.
Patient number: 859741
Male/Choi Ki-seok/26 years old
Yes.
From now on, I am Choi Ki-seok.
* * *
The next morning.
Choi Ki-seok was using the computer with the eyes of Hippocrates.
I am searching for celebrities and looking at their photos.
“Well, if this happens, it’s a scam.”
Choi Ki-seok nodded slightly.
I tried an experiment because I was wondering if it was possible to obtain information without meeting a person face to face.
The result is failure.
Although the experiment failed, Ki-Seok Choi kept the status window open.
Passive skill Eye of Hippocrates.
This can raise the maximum level to 3.
Considering its passive nature, I thought I would have to turn it on for a long time to increase my proficiency.
Crash.
While searching, I typed organ donation into the window.
Among the recent articles, there was an article by Ki-Seok Choi.
The title of the article is ‘Doctor to doctor.’
[On December 23, Jeong Jeong, a third-year resident at Jinseong University Hospital, suffered brain death in a car accident and passed away, leaving behind human tissues such as the heart and skin ligaments. Coincidentally, Ki-Seok Choi, a medical student suffering from heart failure, received his heart. Jeong Jeong is always…] The reason
the organ donation news was able to make the news was because Jeong Jeong and Choi Ki-seok agreed to the disclosure of their personal information.
Under the law, for public purposes such as organ donation promotion projects, information may be disclosed if the registered organ donor or person waiting for an organ transplant agrees to provide the information.
In the past, Jeong Jeong considered disclosing personal information as a given, and Choi Ki-seok, as a medical student, did not hesitate to disclose personal information.
“······.”
Choi Ki-seok fell into a strange feeling while reading the article.
It feels like being sentenced to death once again by the media…
But that’s the moment.
“You got up early?”
Lee Mi-ae came into the sterile room.
The tray in her hand contained various medical tools, including a blood pressure monitor.
“Yes. I can’t sleep.”
Choi Ki-seok sat down on the bed.
“There is no need to force yourself to sleep.”
Lee Mi-ae checked vital signs and held up a syringe.
Today is the day of the blood test.
Blood must be sent to the clinical department so that the results are available before morning rounds.
Lee Mi-ae tied Choi Ki-seok’s upper forearm with a tourniquet. After finding the blood vessel, I rubbed the area with an alcohol swab.
Fuuuuuk!
The syringe needle pierced the skin.
However, no blood formed at the tip of the syringe. Lee Mi-ae tried to find a blood vessel by moving around, but failed and the blood vessel was damaged.
“sorry.”
Lee Mi-ae took out a new syringe with a puzzled expression.
I tried drawing blood again from the other arm, but the results were not good.
“I’m really sorry.”
Lee Mi-ae bowed her head.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
Choi Ki-seok reassured Lee Mi-ae.
Choi Ki-seok’s arms were thin and thin, so the blood vessels were hard to see. Even a nurse could have failed to draw blood.
‘That’s not the problem.’
Choi Ki-seok understood Lee Mi-ae through the eyes of Hippocrates.

[Special Features : The charge nurse has been affected by the yelling debuff.]
[The ability to cope with and treat confident patients is slightly reduced.]
Lee Mi-ae’s abilities are decent.
However, my condition was not good.
First of all, my physical strength was greatly reduced due to night shifts, and I was even scolded by the nurse in charge, so my ability to perform surgical procedures was reduced by one level.
“Lee Mi-ae! What are you doing?”
An angry voice was heard outside the sterile room.
A nurse who looked like a bear was glaring at Lee Mi-ae with both arms on her waist.
“Are you still drawing blood?”
“All you have to do is patient Choi Ki-seok. I’ll be right there.”
“come fast!”
The nurse in charge noticed and left.
As a result, Lee Mi-ae was visibly shaken. I stamped my feet and chattered my teeth.
Choi Ki-seok, who is watching, is all nervous.
Choi Ki-seok was reminded of his past internship days when Lee Mi-ae looked like that.
C-level intern.
Incompetent intern.
Those days when I was despondent and couldn’t even straighten my shoulders properly after hearing all the insults.
What would it have been like if someone had warmly comforted me at that time?
Wouldn’t it have been better to become skilled at taking action a little earlier?
“It’s okay. Sometimes things don’t work out.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled and continued speaking.
“I don’t think I’m feeling well today. Shall I draw blood?”
“No. There are no cases where patients directly draw blood.”
“I am a patient, but I am also a doctor-to-be.”
“But that doesn’t work.”
“You’re tired from working the night shift. And if you take your time like this, that nurse from earlier will be in trouble.”
Lee Mi-ae weakly lowered her head at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“Don’t worry, just trust me.”
“That’s right. How do I draw blood myself? Is there a way?”
“Of course there is. So, please give me the syringe.”
Choi Ki-seok held out his hand.
Lee Mi-ae seemed to hesitate, but eventually handed the syringe to Choi Ki-seok.
“What happened today is a secret between us.”
Ki-Seok Choi smiled and went back to work.
First, I tied a tourniquet around my ankle and examined the top of my foot. As time passed, blood vessels suitable for blood collection began popping up near the top of my feet.
I got up and put my feet on the bed.
Then he bent down and disinfected the blood vessels with an alcohol swab.
Fuuuuuck.
When I pierced a blood vessel with a needle, blood droplets spread out like paint at the tip of the syringe.
The blood vessel was properly pierced.
As I pulled the push pin, red blood filled the grid lines.
“Wow. It really worked!”
Lee Mi-ae was purely amazed.
This is Choi Ki-seok, who has not yet become a general practitioner.
In addition, Lee Mi-ae had overwhelmingly more experience with blood sampling than Choi Ki-seok. However, Choi Ki-seok showed as much skill as Lee Mi-ae.
“Take it.”
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can take a breather.”
Lee Mi-ae took the syringe that Choi Ki-seok held out and left the sterile room in a huff.
Choi Ki-seok watched the scene and smiled.
But that’s the moment.
[You have successfully completed your first kill.]
[Your reputation increases by 1.]
