Level Up Doctor - Chapter 236

Cheopcheop Mountain (1)

The difficult work day is over.

After completing the handover, Choi Ki-seok immediately went to the security room.

In order to complete the outlaw mission in the hospital room, I plan to look at the CCTV.

Nurse Karen said she had already checked the CCTV and found no clues. Nevertheless, the conclusion was that the only thing we can currently rely on is CCTV.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

When I knocked, I heard a voice telling me to come in.

“Huh? Why are you here, teacher?”

“Hello, I’m Ki-Seok Choi, a neurosurgery resident. I’m here because I wanted to check the CCTV footage.”

“Ah. Neurosurgery? A nurse came down not long ago.”

One of the security guards nodded slightly.

“Yes. There’s a problem in the ward, but it hasn’t been resolved yet.”

“I see. Then, please write down the camera location and the date and time you want to see it.”

When Choi Ki-seok handed over the paper, the security guard looked through it.

“I’ll check the most recent one first.”

“thank you.”

Soon, a monitor showed the neurosurgery ward.

There are a total of three CCTVs installed in the ward.

One illuminated the station and the other two illuminated the center of the hallway from both ends of the ward.

In the case of hospital rooms, CCTV could not be installed because there was a problem of infringing on the patient’s privacy.

“Hmm…”

Choi Ki-seok rubbed his chin while watching the video.

While Karen was making rounds, she was seen rushing into a hospital room.

Afterwards, she took the IV set from the station and went back into the hospital room.

They found that the IV line was missing and seemed to be reconnecting it.

“Can you see this from behind?”

“You can’t rewind, but you can repeat sections.”

“Then, please give me one hour before this nurse enters the room.”

“All right.”

Ki-Seok Choi focused on the monitor again.

A total of four people entered the hospital room before the incident occurred.

These are Karen’s fellow nurses and Michael, a patient sharing the same ward and a patient in a different ward.

Since I had to enter the hospital room to remove the IV line, I had no choice but to assume that one of these four people was the culprit.

“That’s enough. Please show me another video.”

Choi Ki-seok looked at all the CCTV footage of incidents that had occurred in the hospital room.

As time passed, his frown narrowed.

For each case, the people who entered the hospital room were slightly different.

Suddenly it occurred to me that this incident was not a crime committed by the same person.

“Is it possible to capture the video on my phone?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”

“I can’t help it. Thank you for your help.”

Choi Ki-seok returned to the dormitory with only a list of people who entered the hospital room.

I leaned against the back of the bed and looked down at the list.

Who on earth would do something like this and why?

Choi Ki-seok delved into the case fundamentally.

In a criminology book I happened to read in the past, the motives for crime were divided into three.

One is an accidental crime caused by emotion.

The second is a crime calculated to gain one’s own benefit.

Third, it is a terrible crime committed by a madman.

In this case, there was a high possibility that it had nothing to do with the second case. There is no benefit to be gained by hitting a sleeping patient with the IV line removed.

So, that means the only ones left are the first and third cases…

While I was thinking about it, I looked down at the list again.

An approach that I had never thought of before suddenly crossed my mind.

‘that’s right! ‘You forgot that.’

Choi Ki-seok hurriedly headed to the ward.

That evening.

Michael was satisfying his hunger with bread in the break room.

Due to various treatments and scrubs, I was unable to eat on time.

“Ugh. There are still 9 months left.”

I counted the remaining training period on my hands and sighed.

If I had a time machine, I wanted to skip time and become a resident.

Then at least there will be less cases of getting hit by patients and nurses.

After finishing the meal, I left the lounge.

As night fell, the ward hallways became quiet.

Some patients have already turned on their night lights and tried to sleep.

Michael looked around and entered a nearby double room.

Both patients were fast asleep and the lights and TV were on.

He cautiously approached a sleeping patient.

Fuuuuuk.

As the line of fluid came out, a smile appeared on my face.

Today too, it is a perfect crime.

As I quietly left the hospital room and walked down the hallway, Ki-Seok Choi and Karen approached me from across the room.

“Michael. Do you have anything to say to us?”

“Huh? What do you have to say?”

“Don’t act like a fool! I’ve already checked everything.”

From Choi Ki-seok’s increasingly aggressive tone, Michael sensed something was wrong.

“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? I have some business to attend to, so I’ll just leave.”

“Where are you going!”

Choi Ki-seok roughly grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

“Why are you really doing this? Even if you’re an intern, aren’t you going too far?”

“You’re the one leaving, not me, right?”

“I’m just leaving? That’s ridiculous.”

“You took off a patient’s IV line and ran away; you hit a sleeping patient without his knowledge and then ran away. Isn’t this just the way to go?”

Sweat ran down my spine at his point.

My mind became blank.

“I… I became a doctor to treat patients. I have no reason to do such a shameless thing.”

“No, there is. Why do you pretend not to know when you know?”

Choi Ki-seok continued sarcastically.

“Do you know what the recent incidents have in common? ABGA, enemas, dressings, everything was done by you. In the process, the patient was dissatisfied with the treatment and filed a complaint.”

“….”

“You don’t like that, so you’ve been playing pranks on patients. Am I wrong?”

“Don’t write weird novels. I’m definitely not that.”

“I thought you were going to keep going.”

When Choi Ki-seok nodded, Karen came out of the hospital room he had entered with a portable camera.

When I activated the camera, the video of Michael pulling out the IV line came out.

“This patient was the one you had an ABGA failure with today, so I expected you to do the same thing.”

“….”

“Say it again with that proud mouth. That you are innocent.”

Michael lowered his head at Choi Ki-seok’s point.

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do this from the beginning. I couldn’t control my anger, so I did it once, but from then on, I couldn’t let go of my emotions unless I did something like this.”

“Interning is a time for learning. Now is a good time to learn by making mistakes, but you can’t get over it so you play pranks on patients?”

“Even if I have two mouths, I don’t have anything to say. I’m sorry.”

Michael answered in a voice as loud as a mosquito. But his eyes were still colored with a strange light.

“Please forgive me just this once.”

As he spoke, he quickly rushed towards Karen.

If you don’t have a camera with video, you can bury what happened today.

All you need is a camera!

Just before the outstretched hand touched the camera, Ki-Seok Choi slapped his hand away and blocked Karen’s path.

“There’s no way a person like you can apologize easily.”

“Ah… please Dr. Choi. Please… I was wrong. I shouldn’t be kicked out of Meijo.”

Michael knelt down and grabbed Choi Ki-seok’s trouser legs.

But Choi Ki-seok’s gaze looking down at him was colder than ice.

“How shameless. Are you still asking for forgiveness?”

“Yes, please. If you just turn a blind eye to this matter, I will listen to anything Mr. Choi says.”

While Michael was begging, Karen went to the station, hid the camera, and returned.

“Well, if you’re begging me this much, I guess I have no choice but to save you.”

“Huh? Dr. Choi! What do you mean? Let’s just overlook this?”

Karen looked like a surprised rabbit.

“Thank you. Thank you. I won’t do that again.”

“Yes, Michael, I will save you from this hellish internship.”

Choi Ki-seok smiled coldly and turned his back on him.

* * *

Two days later.

Michael was kicked out of Mayjo Clinic due to the footage captured on his portable camera.

Not only that, he was sued by the hospital and the patient.

It’s an ending that befits the saying that justice is due.

Choi Ki-seok didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Michael. Rather, I felt a sense of relief as if a painful tooth had been removed.

And on the morning of the third day of my visit.

Choi Ki-seok drove his car and left Meijo after a long time.

While the car was stopped at a traffic light, I opened the status window and checked the new compensation.

This is a reward obtained from completing the mission of the outlaw in the hospital room.

NEW [Skill Breakthrough]

– Maximizes the efficiency of the skill and adds new effects.

– Material required for skill breakthrough: Limit Stone.

– Skill breakthrough is possible by collecting more than 50 limit stones. However, only skill breakthrough-specific skills can be used for skill breakthrough.

– Current Limit Stone (2/50)

“Hmm…”

Choi Ki-seok rubbed his chin and looked at the skills.

Currently, there are only two skills that can be surpassed: ‘Must Survive’ and ‘I’m Ambidextrous’.

Which skill should I upgrade first?

While I was thinking about it, I turned off the status window and focused on driving.

After gathering all the necessary materials, it will not be too late to decide on a breakthrough skill.

After driving for a while, we arrived at a residential area on the outskirts.

Choi Ki-seok parked his car nearby and stood in front of the magnificent house.

thud. thud. thud.

When I placed my hand on my chest, I felt my heart beating.

After taking a deep breath to calm my mind, I rang the bell and heard a familiar voice.

“who are you?”

“This is Ki-Seok Choi from Meijo Clinic.”

“Oh, it’s Dr. Choi. Come on in.”

Choi Ki-seok went straight into the house.

A well-manicured garden stretched out in front of a modern two-story building, and a nice car was parked in the half-open garage.

After all, the house where a great actor lives is on a different level.

“Dr. Choi. Nice to meet you.”

The front door opened and Lavin Williams appeared.

Ki-Seok Choi received an invitation from Lavin Williams, who was discharged from the hospital.

“Yes. Nice to meet you. I didn’t expect to be invited by Lavigne, but it’s truly an honor.”

“I am honored to be able to invite Dr. Choi. It was a long journey and a lot of trouble.”

Choi Ki-seok sat across from Lavigne on the sofa on the first floor.

Just then, Ravin’s wife prepared refreshments and placed them on the table.

“This is my wife Catherine. I saw you in the ward once, right?”

“Of course. She was so beautiful that I still remember her.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Catherine burst out laughing.

After a brief introduction, the conversation began.

“Ravin. Are you receiving treatment well?”

“I was recently discharged from the neuropsychiatry department. I am currently receiving outpatient treatment. Seeing as they discharged me without saying anything, I guess I am in better shape than when I first started.”

Lavigne said jokingly.

“That’s good. I was worried what would happen if Lavigne couldn’t accept treatment.”

“Dr. Choi once said that treatment begins only when you realize you are sick, so I put down all my pride in being an actor. So, I felt at ease.”

“Well done.”

Choi Ki-seok smiled happily after using the Eye of Hippocrates on Ravin.

Crohn’s disease was completely cured.

Treatment for depression also appears to have reached its final stage.

“I’m just saying this just in case . After receiving the drug, I also completely quit cocaine. “You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

“What are you worried about? “I trusted Lavigne from the beginning.”

“Hahaha. I feel good just hearing you

say that.” Lavigne paused and then continued.

“Then shall I tell you more good news?”
