Level Up Doctor - Chapter 69

Holding the end of the intern (3),

Nam Kang-jun was hit by Choi Ki-seok and fell like a straw bale.

The area where I was hit felt a tingling pain.

“You crazy bastard. What!”

Nam Kang-Jun jumped up from his seat and tried to run towards Choi Ki-Seok.

Then Choi Ki-seok took out an alcohol swab from the doctor’s gown.

There was no blood on the alcohol swab at all.

That means that Choi Ki-seok did not administer intravenous fluids to pediatric patients.

So does that mean that pressing the alcohol cotton on my elbow was acting?

“You bastard. You deserve more beatings.”

Choi Ki-seok walked up to Nam Kang-jun and punched him in the face again.

Nam Kang-Jun collapsed again.

Choi Ki-seok’s movements were so fast that there was no time to do anything.

“I guess you thought that if you asked me to give you an intravenous drip, I would obediently give it to you?”

Choi Ki-seok said coldly.

Maliant is an injection drug often used in pediatric patients and is dark yellow in color.

It is impossible for him, who worked as a thoracic surgeon named Fixton, to not know how to use Maliant.

I noticed everything from the moment Nam Kang-Jun asked for an intravenous injection.

“If you don’t like me, come at me directly. Why are you playing with such an innocent patient? Have you ever imagined what will happen to that child if Maliant enters his veins?”

“….”

“Did Taeho bastard order it?”

Choi Ki-seok asked again, but Nam Kang-joon gave no answer.

I stood up, wiping the blood from my torn lip with the back of my hand.

“Say something with your open mouth!”

thud!

Choi Ki-seok hit the table with his fist.

As the atmosphere became increasingly hostile, Nam Kang-Jun struggled to open his mouth.

“I hated you ever since I passed the medical license. I hated that Seolhwa liked you, and I hated seeing you doing well at the hospital. So I wanted to show you my bitterness somehow.”

“….”

“I was stupid. I must have gone crazy for a moment.”

Nam Kang-jun finished speaking and lowered his head.

Choi Ki-seok quietly listened to the story and approached Nam Kang-jun. Then he grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the sofa.

I still haven’t resolved my anger.

“Take off the gown, you bastard. You are not qualified to be a doctor.”

Choi Ki-seok went straight to the hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery ward.

Just then, Jo Tae-ho, who had finished the treatment, came out into the hallway and was coming this way.

“Is it you?”

“what?”

“You told Kangjun to do it. Choose a patient who is difficult to administer an intravenous injection on purpose and then tell him to catch the wind. Guide me into giving an intramuscular injection into a vein.”

Choi Ki-seok’s eyes were burning as he looked at Jo Tae-ho.

I know Nam Kang-Jun is a bad guy, but he’s not so bad that he takes advantage of patients.

In other words, there is a separate person behind this incident.

And the person behind it is none other than Jo Tae-ho, who is desperate to screw over Choi Ki-seok.

“What do you mean by suddenly coming here? Come to your senses. This is not your dream.”

“Don’t act like a fool!”

Choi Ki-seok growled.

As the two people raised their voices, people’s attention began to focus.

“If you don’t have anything more to say, go away. I’m busy.”

“I’ll just let it go this time. If you do something like this again, I won’t let you go.”

“I’m scared to death. I need to at least wear a diaper.”

Choi Ki-seok left the ward, leaving Jo Tae-ho’s sarcasm behind.

I was angry and frustrated, but there was no way to hold Jo Tae-ho or Nam Kang-jun responsible.

In reality, there was no problem with the patient and there was no way to prove their evil intentions.

I know what you guys did.

If you do the same thing again, you will get a stinging taste.

This warning is the best we can do for now.

Meanwhile, Jo Tae-ho frowned as he looked at Choi Ki-seok walking away.

“Ha… you idiot. Can’t you handle that one thing?”

* * *

The next day.

Time passed and the workday came to an end.

Ki-Seok Choi visited the thoracic surgery ward after moving the surgical patient to the intensive care unit.

Today is a long-awaited off day.

I plan to carefully read the ECG notes I received from Kim Cheol-woo.

I took the EKG notes from the conference room and came out into the hallway when I saw Nam Kang-Jun approaching from the other side.

“….”

“….”

Even though their eyes met, the two people said nothing.

They just pass by like strangers.

After yesterday’s incident, Choi Ki-seok treated Nam Kang-joon as a complete stranger. Nam Kang-jun also did not dare to greet Choi Ki-seok or pretend to know him, so the cold atmosphere continued.

“what are you doing?”

Choi Ki-seok spoke to Kang Ha-na at the station.

She, the ward’s vitamin, often looks droopy these days.

“Chart entry.”

“Have you gotten any further with Kangjun?”

“No. Not at all.”

Kang Ha-na turned her gaze from the monitor and stared at Choi Ki-seok.

“Actually, I never liked teacher Nam from the beginning. I was just curious how the first intern would react if I told him I liked teacher Nam.”

“….”

“Me. Actually, I saw it.”

Hana Kang looked at the junior nurse who was a little away and spoke in a low voice.

“What?”

“The super intern is dating another female intern. They are dating, right?”

My heart ached at Kang Hana’s comment.

He was confident that his relationship with Jeong Seol-hwa had never been discovered by anyone…

“Looking at his expression, it’s true. Anyway, the elementary school intern teacher is naive and it’s a shame.”

Kang Hana laughed weakly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

“really?”

In response to Choi Ki-seok’s words, Kang Ha-na pretended to stuff her mouth with a zipper.

“thank you.”

“Woman, don’t get upset and do well. Fighting.”

Contrary to her words, Kang Hana’s voice and actions did not show her usual spirit.

I thought something was strange, but I left the station.

But I ran into Hyukpil Jang in front of the elevator.

“hello.”

“Just right. Can you pass this on to Professor Yoon? Professor Yoon will be in the research building right now. I have a meeting with professors from other departments right now.”

“Yes. I will give it to you.”

Ki-Seok Choi accepted the cell phone handed out by Hyuk-Pil Jang.

It seems that Jihye Yoon was with Hyukpil Jang and went to the research building, leaving behind only her cell phone.

“Professor. Are you busy these days?”

Choi Ki-seok spoke first.

“I didn’t even blink. It was only a brief broadcast, but I didn’t know it would be this effective. Come to think of it, aren’t you Kiseok’s senior here?”

Hyukpil Jang chuckled.

In terms of topicality alone, even he couldn’t handle Choi Ki-seok.

Choi Ki-seok attracted everyone’s attention by performing a chest cavity puncture during his first appearance.

In addition, the hospital was the first hospital to catch a child abuse suspect and twice made news for saving an idol from a car accident.

For an intern’s actions, it was shocking.

“You must be sad to hear that Professor Song is leaving?”

“Yes. I am very disappointed.”

Choi Ki-seok did not hide his emotions.

Because I wanted to learn more from Song Myeong-jin. However, I thought it was right to respect my teacher’s decision.

“Thoracic surgery will become more interesting in the future.”

“Is it fun?”

“You don’t know what kind of person the manager is, right?”

Hyukpil Jang said, completely erasing the light atmosphere.

“The moment Professor Song leaves, the final brake is released. From then on, the manager’s true value will come out.”

“Are you saying this in a good way?”

“That depends on what the staff does. It could be heaven for some and hell for others.”

Hyukpil Jang’s meaningful words shook my heart.

But before I had time to think about his words, the elevator opened and I parted ways with Jang Hyuk-pil.

Choi Ki-seok watched Jang Hyuk-pil’s back for a while.

Hyukpil Jang.

Choi Ki-seok is the only one among Ui-guk’s staff who cannot understand his true intentions.

Even though it’s been two months since I came to the thoracic surgery clinic, I still don’t have as much information about him as I did when I first met him.

If Song Myung-jin leaves, won’t Jang Hyuk-pil also change?

Who will fill Song Myeong-jin’s vacancy?

Suddenly, I became curious about the thoracic surgery department at Uijin University.

Choi Ki-seok bought snacks at the convenience store on the first floor and left the main building.

After walking about ten minutes, the laboratory building came into view. I took the elevator and got off on the 6th floor and found Jihye Yoon’s lab.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

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

“What’s going on?”

Jihye Yoon blinked when she saw Kiseok Choi.

“Professor Jang asked me to give you my cell phone.”

Choi Ki-seok handed Ji-hye Yoon his cell phone, and Ji-hye Yoon briefly thanked him and accepted the cell phone.

“I guess you don’t ring your phone anymore?”

Choi Ki-seok asked about the whereabouts of the cell phone keychain he had seen after finishing the gym.

I still remember it because it was an unusual cartoon character.

“I lost it.”

Ji-hye Yoon answered calmly and stared at the envelope in Choi Ki-seok’s hand.

“I bought it to eat in the dorm. Would you like to eat it?”

Yoon Ji-hye nodded in response to Choi Ki-seok’s answer.

While Jihye Yoon was opening bags of snacks and bread, Kiseok Choi heated up the coffee pot and started setting up the cup ramen.

After a while, the setting was over and the two people started eating snacks.

‘You eat really well.’

Ki-seok Choi glanced at Ji-hye Yoon while eating ramen.

Although he behaves cautiously, the amount of food he eats is comparable to his. Suddenly, I remembered that she had almost finished the meat on the grill during the company dinner.

“Professor, I guess you’re the type of person who doesn’t gain weight even if you eat food?”

“that’s right.”

Jihye Yoon nodded slightly. Then, he took out two vitamin drinks from the small refrigerator, drank one for himself, and handed the rest to Ki-Seok Choi.

“That’s why my nickname when I was an intern was Eater. A ghost who will die while eating.”

“It’s a nickname that doesn’t fit the professor’s image.”

“What’s wrong with my image?”

Jihye Yoon dug in sharply and unexpectedly.

“Well… um… there seems to be something cool and cold about it. It feels like he is keeping his distance from not only the patients but also the medical staff.”

“You don’t have to be friendly with all your coworkers. I just hate emotional labor.”

Yun Ji-he said something calmly.

After midnight snack time, Choi Ki-seok and Yoon Ji-hye came out of the lab together.

Ji-hye Yoon had some business to attend to in the ward, and Ki-seok Choi is scheduled to return to the dormitory.

But when the two got into the elevator, a problem arose.

Shake!

Suddenly, the elevator shook violently and the interior turned into complete darkness.

“Is it broken?”

Choi Ki-seok frowned and scratched the back of his head.

I have often experienced similar cases, wondering if they are related to elevator accidents.

In addition, there was a passive effect of Frozen Heart, so I was more annoyed than scared of the current situation.

“professor. Are you okay?”

Yoon Ji-hye had no answer to Choi Ki-seok’s question.

“Even if you’re scared, just hold on for a little while.”

Choi Ki-seok illuminated the elevator buttons with his cell phone’s flashlight and pressed the emergency call button.

He pressed the button several times, but the emergency call button did not work. It didn’t work.

It’s a desperate situation.

Choi Ki-seok just called 119.

If you try to force the door open, problems can arise.

It’s best to wait for rescue now.

Boom!

A dull sound brought me to my senses.

When I shined the flashlight on the place where the sound came from, I saw Jihye Yoon lying down.

“Professor!”
