The Lunar New Year holiday is just around the corner.

After the threatening phone call from Chu Jong-cheol, I was commuting to and from work from my parents’ house.

Was it just a threat in name only?

When I looked into my grandmother’s future, it seemed like nothing would happen for a while.

‘Still, we can’t let our guard down.’

Because the future can change at any moment.

So, these days, I’ve been having anxious and exhausting experiences every day.

The only consolation was that Sergei was getting better.

One day.

Ahead of the Lunar New Year, the patient conveyed these words through an interpreter:

“Doctor, Mr. Sergei would like permission to go out.”

I pushed up my glasses curiously.

“Going out? Didn’t you keep your trip to Korea a secret because you didn’t want the public to know that you were sick?”

“But if you rest for too long, your body will stiffen up…. Given your current condition, it won’t be obvious that you came to Korea for treatment. You’ll just pretend to be in Korea for a short visit because you have something to do.”

“What is the reason for going out?”

“He said he wants to train and spar. He said he’s already booked a Korean gym and a sparring partner. He’s ready to go as soon as he gets permission to go out.”

My mouth opened slightly.

You suddenly want to spar?

‘It seems that beyond just getting better, your body is really stiff.’

As I was worrying, the interpreter gave me some advice.

“And the patient said he wanted to test whether the pain would not recur after sparring. He said recurrence was always a problem.”

Well… definitely, relapse is a problem with this disease.

I also understand the feelings of patients who feel frustrated because they are confined to a hospital room.

Normally, hospitals tend to easily allow going out, even if it is not an overnight stay.

“What date do you want to go out?”

“One day during the Lunar New Year holiday.”

After I made up my mind to some extent, I looked through the chart I was holding on my arm.

And through the golden letters, it was confirmed that the patient had returned home safely after going out.

“Okay, I’ll give you permission.”

After parting ways with the interpreter, I immediately went to find Shim Ji-seop.

It would be a good idea to tell the on-duty officer about these special circumstances in advance.

The senior, who first learned of Sergei’s existence after hearing my explanation, raised his eyebrows.

“Ah… That’s the Russian fighter I asked about through Starstargram. He really was hospitalized.”

“Yes, the fact that I was admitted to the hospital is a secret, so not many people in the ward know about it.”

When medical staff at a hospital keep certain facts about a patient secret.

It is marked separately as Secret on the chart.

We strongly urge medical staff to be careful when handing over patients.

‘This usually happens when an elderly patient is given a terminal diagnosis or is diagnosed with cancer.’

Guardians sometimes ask patients to keep it a secret from them so that they do not get shocked.

In some cases, such as this one, the fact that the patient was hospitalized at their request is hidden as much as possible.

“What is the reason for going out?”

“I heard you’re going to the gym for sparring. You want to test to see if the pain comes back.”

“this.”

Shim Ji-seop smiled, sweeping his brown, wavy hair back.

“Professor Seonjun. It looks like the patient has improved enough to go out for sparring in just a week.”

“Yes, well… Other than that, there’s nothing out of the ordinary. If anything comes up while I’m on duty, please call me right away.”

It was when I finished the handover with my usual comment.

“Don’t worry. I don’t think anything will happen.”

Oh, no… .

I opened my mouth.

Then Ji-seop tilts his head.

“why?”

“…no.”

Why, why?

That’s because you just raised the flag!

* * *

Thud, thud.

A crowd of shoeless feet gathers in the hospital conference room.

Ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, a general faculty meeting was held at Hanbit University Hospital.

Not at the level of a regular, everyday meeting.

It was a fairly large event, with all the head professors from each department having to attend.

“Uh-huh. The Lunar New Year holiday is coming up soon. Each department should coordinate their treatment schedules well so that there are no disruptions. Also, in case the emergency room at our hospital gets too crowded, please familiarize yourself with the emergency contact network of other hospitals in the area.”

The voice of the director of Myeongmundo Medical Center resonated through the microphone.

After explaining a few things.

“… And this is not an official agenda, but there is a rumor going around that the government will designate a hospital and conduct a pilot project. Is there a professor who knows the details about this?”

The director of the hospital lowers his voice and asks in a confidential manner.

Professors who have been in the medical field for a long time tend to become close with officials from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

Before any health project was undertaken, we were given advance notice.

Especially if you are a full professor at Hanbit University Hospital, one of the ‘Big 3 hospitals’ in Korea.

But for some reason, this time everyone is shaking their heads.

“Huh, what kind of business is it that the government has to issue a gag order like this?”

“Maybe it’s for an objective evaluation. Once they know what kind of business it is, the hospitals will try to show off to the government.”

If the subject of the business is revealed.

Hospital directors may have no choice but to temporarily pay more attention to the field.

Things like cure rates, number of patients treated, and number of medical staff deployed.

It seems like a special measure to exclude such variables… .

“If the government is putting this much effort into keeping something secret, it must be something extraordinary.”

“The amount of support must be enormous, right?”

The professors each murmured among themselves.

This was an unusual occurrence, so it piqued my curiosity.

“Isn’t it likely that capital will be invested in emergency medicine?”

“Right? It’s a hot topic these days.”

Soon everyone came to a similar conclusion.

The director of Myeongmundo Medical Center opened his mouth to the professor of emergency medicine.

“I would like to ask the EM (emergency medicine) department head to pay a little more attention to managing the medical staff.”

Now all the important points have been covered.

Director Myung of the medical center starts small talk in a much lighter tone.

“Directors of oriental and western medicine hospitals, are you preparing well for the awards ceremony in February?”

‘Excellent Major Awards Ceremony’.

It is held at the same time as the ‘Residency Graduation Ceremony’ when the most senior residents leave the hospital.

This is an annual event where one exemplary intern and resident is selected from each of the medical and oriental medicine departments.

Professor Lim Jun-geol, the head of the Korean Medicine Hospital, smiled at the director of the medical center.

“We decided on the excellent residents. We did it unanimously.”

“Are you Mr. Seon Ijun?”

Then, the Oriental medicine professors answered with a laugh.

Even some of the professors of both sides pretend to know.

“Ah~, Teacher Seon Ijun! He was unrivaled since his internship.”

“That friend was recently invited to present at an internal medicine conference. A child with pneumonia was able to have brain tumor surgery without any problems thanks to him.”

“It seems that you also stood out when you went on a summer medical volunteer mission. You said you made a clever diagnosis of an elderly patient’s illness in a difficult situation?”

“Not long ago, we won a big research project and there was even a placard posted on the hospital wall about it?”

A professor who was listening in bewilderment laughed.

“Hey, you’re being too joking. What kind of first-year resident would want to do research? It would be fortunate if he could just do what he was told without making any mistakes during his junior year.”

This was immediately refuted by many professors.

“Oh, you’re saying that because you don’t know Mr. Seon very well. There are already more than a few SCI-level papers published under his name.”

“I was shocked to hear that Mr. Seon-i Jun was only in his first year. Of course, I thought he was in his third year at the very least.”

“Did you know that? The quality of theses is so high that other universities and the Ministry of Health and Welfare also refer to them.”

As testimonies continued to come in from all over, Director Lim Jun-geol of the Korean Medicine Hospital smiled broadly.

“At this point, I’m really curious.”

“What is it?”

“I wonder if Teacher Seonjun will set a new record of receiving an award for excellence throughout his four-year training period.”

‘♫♪’

The male intern in charge of the internship headed to the ward lounge, humming a tune.

It’s been a long time since I felt so light as a feather.

‘It’s finally the Lunar New Year holidays. How long has it been since you last went home?’

The intern was currently a resident of the Department of Oriental Medicine.

If there are multiple patients, such as in the internal medicine department, there are several options when it comes to working holiday shifts.

Or split each holiday equally and take on shifts.

Or, you can do all the shifts at once and take a rest during the other holidays.

‘Until now, I haven’t been able to go out often because I’ve been giving in to other friends.’

This Lunar New Year, it was finally the intern’s turn to take the day off.

He sat down in the corner of the break room and called someone with a fluttering heart.

Soon I hear my mother’s voice.

– Son, are you finally coming home? You couldn’t come even during Chuseok because you were on duty. I’ve forgotten what my son looks like.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been busy with work at the hospital.”

– Oh my, aren’t the hospital staff really that harsh? Just look at last summer vacation. You got a vacation when it wasn’t even vacation season, so you couldn’t even go on a family trip.

It was just as my mother said.

The internship is not in late July or early August, which is the usual vacation season.

It wasn’t until September that I was able to use my annual leave.

Of course, I had to miss out on an important annual family trip.

The intern smiled faintly into the phone.

“Because I’m the head of the internship….”

– That intern, that intern. Why doesn’t anyone notice him, and does everyone just treat our son like it’s a given?

“Hey, no.”

– No! Even if I come home, I keep getting calls from the hospital and can’t get a good rest.

His mother had reason to be dissatisfied.

I’m in charge of chores between interns and coordinating with seniors and professors.

Even if I took time off, it was essentially the same as working from home.

Although he secretly sympathized with his mother’s words, the intern director tried to calm his angry mother down.

“This time, I’m really going to get some rest.”

– Yeah, it’s not anything else, it’s Grandma’s 70th birthday party. How long has it been since we all went on a trip abroad like this? We even booked a particularly nice hotel. … Oh, wait a minute. Grandma wants to change.

Suddenly, there is a commotion on the other end of the phone, and then the voice of an old woman, trembling thinly, is heard.

– Our little pup… Can I finally see your face?

“Of course, it’s my grandmother’s 70th birthday, so I definitely have to go. I also go abroad and eat a lot of delicious food. I’ve found some good restaurants for you.”

The intern smiled brightly and answered cheerfully.

And it was just a few hours later.

Something happened at the Oriental Medicine Clinic.

“Intern, what should I do? The kid who was supposed to be on duty for the Lunar New Year lost his grandfather. He said he had to go to his hometown right away.”

Suddenly, the position of the head of the household became vacant.

The intern director quickly called the internal medicine interns to the intern training room.

“Is there really no one?”

silence.

Everyone just rolls their eyes or looks down.

No one volunteered to stand on duty.

I don’t want to suddenly return the off.

“You guys… This is really too much-.”

The intern leader was glaring at his colleagues in shock.

He couldn’t even finish his sentence and started crying.
