Level Up Doctor - Chapter 311
Challenge (7)
That evening at the 1st floor cafe.
Choi Ki-seok was sitting across from Vivian and having a conversation.
“You were very surprised, weren’t you?”
“…yes.”
Vivian nodded and took a sip of the herbal tea on the table.
“I knew he was a bad guy, but I didn’t know he would do something like this.”
“Me too. I set a trap just in case, but I got caught.”
Ki-Seok Choi sighed in relief, recalling the situation from before.
Even though the situation seemed to be over, it was suspicious that the mission was not over.
So I thought of the worst possible situations.
Then, what came to mind was Payne coming to the hospital room and causing a scene. Since Vivian didn’t have any problems, I figured there would be some other kind of problem, and it turned out exactly right.
While silence continues for a moment.
Choi Ki-seok used the rabbit nurse on Vivian and even encouraged her.
Someone tried to kill him.
Is there anything else as scary and terrible as that?
To solve this, buff and debuff removal skills are essential.
“Vivian. You’ve been through a lot. But your life will change from now on. Pain, who used to bother you, is no more. Depending on how you decide, your life can change as much as you want.”
“Thank you, teacher.”
Vivian continued, crying.
“If it wasn’t for you, teacher, I would have continued to suffer alone. I might have given that trash bastard my life…” “
It’s okay. There’s no need to make it difficult.”
“Sir… teacher.”
Choi Ki-seok moved to the seat next to the sobbing Vivian and patted her shoulder. The pain and sadness she had experienced all along was conveyed to him.
“If you leave the hospital, the teacher will continue to help you, so don’t worry. Okay?”
“thank you.”
“Okay. Now stop crying!”
Choi Ki-seok talked with Vivian some more and then walked her to the hospital room.
Tiring!
[You have completed the special mission that was not mentioned. As a reward, we provide 1000 P.P.
and 10 Limit Stones. The effect of the rabbit nurse is strengthened with random item rewards.]
[The number of daily uses of the rabbit nurse increases to 4 and the duration increases.]
His expression after checking the status window was calm.
Is it because it is such a big and dangerous case?
The relief that the task was completed well was greater than the joy of receiving the reward.
The next morning.
Choi Ki-seok was talking with his colleagues at the medical office.
The handover had just ended and there was a lot of talk about the team task coming up in a few days.
“I was off yesterday.”
Emma paused and continued speaking.
“I observed Professor Green performing mitral valve replacement surgery during the day.”
“How was it? Was it difficult?”
“I don’t think it will be as easy as I thought. An embolism occurred in the middle and they even had to do CPR. I think unexpected situations happen a lot.”
“Well, it depends on the patient’s age.”
Charles nodded in understanding.
“I have some free time until the morning meeting starts, so let’s check the surgery process.”
“great.”
“Then, let the surgeon explain the surgery.”
“You bring out the words and I take care of things?”
“Uh huh. Isn’t our team’s surgeon really harsh?”
Emma burst out laughing at Charles’ joke, and Choi Ki-seok smiled faintly as he looked at her.
Emma’s personality has become brighter than when she was at Mayjo.
At Meijo and MHC, which were each making rapid progress, they had colleagues they could trust and rely on.
Perhaps that was what made her change decisively.
“Well, if everyone wants it, I can’t help it.”
Ki-Seok Choi’s explanation continued.
Mitral valve replacement surgery, like CABG, is performed under extracorporeal circulation (a situation where a heart-lung machine is used).
First, the left atrium is incised to expose the mitral valve and the leaflets of the mitral valve are removed.
After the preliminary work is completed, the artificial valve to be replaced is fixed to the valve frame and the left atrium is sutured again.
The process is simple, but it requires the surgeon’s delicate skills and the assistance of staff during the treatment.
“You should not be reassured that the surgery was successful. Post-operative care is as important as the surgery itself. If done incorrectly, left ventricular rupture or tricuspid regurgitation may occur as a side effect.”
“Mr. Choi. Aren’t you too scared?”
“It never hurts to consider the worst case scenario.”
Ki-Seok Choi shrugged his shoulders at Emma’s words.
“By the way, today is the day.”
Charles stretched and changed the subject.
“What day?”
“It’s a day of peace and the day you go on a cruise.”
“Ah. What else can I say?”
This afternoon, Choi Ki-seok will be dispatched on a cruise medical tour as a representative of the Thoracic Surgery Department. The dispatch schedule is 2 days and 1 night, and the examination begins at 5 PM today and ends at 11 AM tomorrow.
“Emma. How about a cruise?”
“You can think of it as a short rest. You can check the results of the electrocardiogram or chest X-ray performed by MHC in advance and give tips about your health.”
“I roughly expected it, but nothing special.”
“It has to be that way. There are limits to the tests and treatments that can be performed on a cruise ship.”
Drurr.
While talking with his colleagues, Miguel entered the medical office.
“hello.”
“good morning.”
“Okay. Good morning everyone.”
After receiving the greeting, Miguel sat down next to Emma and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Emma looks prettier today?”
“Ah… yes. Thank you.”
“There’s even a need to be thankful. I’m just telling it like it is.”
Miguel’s eyes turned to Choi Ki-seok and Charles.
Unlike when he spoke to Emma, his face was filled with irritation.
“Charles. How is life at the hospital these days?”
“There is no particular problem. The patients I am in charge of are all doing well, and not long ago… I am embarrassed to say it out loud, but I received a compliment card…” “That is why
you are not making any progress.”
Miguel cut Charles off mid-sentence.
“Don’t you know that it’s EOB evaluation period right now? You shouldn’t be puffed up just because you received one compliment card. Emma here has already received five compliment cards?”
“That’s because I’m lucky…”
“Emma, just stay still. Charles, are you wrong? Is now the time to flirt because you received a compliment card?”
“…no.”
“But why are you proud of something that isn’t a big deal? After all, a doctor must set high goals and work tirelessly to achieve them. Just like Emma.”
“Teacher. If you keep doing this, I will…”
“Uh-huh. Emma told me to stay still.”
Miguel continued, touching Emma’s shoulder playfully.
“Charles. Have you finished your suturing homework?”
“Yes. I’m done.”
“Bring it.”
Following his instructions, Charles took out a suture model and handed it to him.
“You just called this suturing? You’re not sewing a person, you’re sewing a model. Can you hold a scalpel properly with this skill?”
Charles’ face turned bright red due to the continued nagging.
In addition, the atmosphere in the country became dangerous, as if walking on thin ice.
Although I didn’t say it, Choi Ki-seok and Emma knew. Miguel is arguing with Charles for no reason.
Because Charles’ model stitching was flawless.
“Why are you so upset? Did I say something bad to you?”
“no.”
“Your life is also very frustrating. All I can say is
‘No.’
Because there’s no outside.”
Eventually, Miguel’s eyes turned to Choi Ki-seok.
Was there not much ground that could crush Choi Ki-seok?
Miguel couldn’t speak for a long time.
“Mr. Choi. You are our doctor, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Isn’t cleanliness the basis of a doctor? Let’s spend our time cleaning the hospital. I can’t tell whether this is a doctor’s office or a pigsty.”
Miguel frowned as he ran his fingers across the monitor.
Of course, there was no dust on the monitor.
“I’ll be careful in the future.”
“Yes. The medical office must be cleaned three times a day. There is no need to be childish and set a duty, right?”
“yes.”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“By the way, teacher.”
“why?”
“Isn’t cleanliness the basis of a doctor?”
Miguel frowned at Choi Ki-seok’s question. There was a clear hint of quarrel in the tone of voice.
“That’s what I just said.”
“That’s true, but… I don’t think you’re very good at keeping your own story.”
“what?”
“Take a look at your gown. It’s yellow all over your clothes. It looks like it’s covered in pus. Why don’t you wash your gown while you’re at it? I can’t tell whether you’re a doctor or a beggar.”
Charles and Emma barely held back their laughter as Choi Ki-seok bombarded them with facts.
Miguel’s gown was definitely kinky.
“You turned? Is that what you call it?”
“This is all what the teacher told me, but… I don’t know what’s wrong.”
“This bastard…”
Miguel stood up and huffed.
It looked like a fist fight was about to break out at any moment. Suddenly, someone came into the medical office.
“What are you all doing?”
“Hello professor.”
“Professor. Good morning.”
The tense confrontation ended with the appearance of Katarina.
Miguel smiled gently, as if asking when he was angry.
“Professor. Are you here? I was already discussing group surgery with my team members.”
“Well, I’m sure I’m going to need your help a lot. Can you take a look at me for a moment?”
“of course.”
Choi Ki-seok watched Miguel leaving the country with a sneer on his face.
I just used the inconvenient thorn debuff to stack 3 stacks on him.
Even if you look calm on the outside, you may be boiling on the inside.
“Ah. That person is really annoying.”
Charles bit his lip and continued.
“I need to find out what I can find fault with. Isn’t this a good thing if it’s sutured like this?”
“Good job. I can’t do any better than this.”
Choi Ki-seok looked at the suture model and nodded slightly.
“Charles. I’m sorry. I feel like you got criticized for no reason.”
“There’s no need for Emma to feel sorry. It’s true that she’s kinder to patients than me.”
“Still, I got compared for no reason…”
Choi Ki-seok began amidst the heavy silence.
“That man used a new trick today.”
“New method?”
“Usually, you found fault with patients or your attitude, but today you started a fight. It was intended to make things uncomfortable between you and Emma.”
“From what I heard, that’s also true.”
Charles rubbed his chin.
“The intention behind joining our team is suspicious. Unless there is someone behind it…”
“Are you saying there is someone behind it?”
“It’s a guess, but it’s highly likely. “The only thing that person has done since coming to MHC is to irritate us and cause trouble.”
As soon as Choi Ki-seok answered, he used the rabbit nurse on Charles.
Whieeeee.
The glow emanating from his body enveloped Charles.
Then Charles’ expression brightened somewhat. When I looked at the status window to check, the stack of the uncomfortable thorn debuff changed to 0.
‘It’s not us who’s being fucked, it’s you.’
Miguel’s interference was troublesome, but
I wasn’t afraid. I was able to resolve the debuffs on my colleagues.
On the other hand, the debuffs I had on Miguel were gradually accumulating.
As time passed, it was clear which side would suffer.
The result will not change like a locomotive running towards its destination.
After finishing the conversation with his colleagues, Ki-Seok Choi attended the morning meeting and morning rounds and headed to the operating room.
Today is the day of lung cancer surgery with Yasada.
