Famous doctor

* * *

Jin-soo Kim, an emergency medicine fellow, approached Woo-shin Kang, who was wandering around the emergency room.

“That patient, Milana, the CT results came back. There’s nothing seriously wrong, and the lab results (blood test results) are good too. I think the cause of the symptoms is something else.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Tsk… Honestly, I didn’t think it would be an emergency, but I ordered a CT scan after seeing your face. I told you that back at the tonkatsu restaurant, right? Even if you’re a doctor of Oriental medicine, you need to develop an eye for distinguishing between emergency and non-emergency.”

“… … .”

(*Appendicitis, an abbreviation among doctors meaning appendicitis.)

Kang Woo-shin blushed at Kim Jin-su’s insult.

Fortunately, Milana didn’t need surgery.

This person’s words and actions were extremely unpleasant.

‘Whew.’

Trying to calm his mind, Kang Woo-shin looked around for his guardian, Sergei.

It was to explain Milana’s condition.

Wooshin asked a question to an emergency room nurse who happened to be passing by.

“Nurse. Who is Milana’s guardian?”

But then something surprising comes out of the nurse’s mouth.

“Oh, that foreign patient? He was prescribed a Brain CT and went to the CT room. He’ll be out soon.”

At those words, Kim Jin-su jumped before Kang Woo-shin.

“What? Who the hell gave you this order?”

“It was given by an on-duty internist. His name was… Idalnim?”

“Huh? No, why is there an internist on duty?”

Kim Jin-su runs off somewhere, grumbling.

Kang Woo-shin, who was left alone in an instant, blinked.

‘This month? What the hell is going on?’

Wooshin scratched the back of his head for a moment.

First, we put Milana in a stretcher car and returned to the oriental medicine ward.

Milana asks in a thin voice, pulling the blanket up to her chin.

“Where is my father?”

Wooshin, who had been thinking for a moment, explained appropriately.

My father said he would just have one test and return to his hospital room soon.

“Okay… .”

Milana nodded weakly at his explanation.

* * *

Charurk-.

The stretcher car soon arrived at the Russian woman’s single room.

It was still cold here because the air conditioning was on.

As he laid Milana down on the bed, Kang Woo-shin shivered without realizing it.

‘Are these people really not cold?’

I was about to ask Milana if she was okay when my phone rang.

It was Kang Woo-sung who was at home during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Wooshin answered the phone as he closed the door to the hospital room and came out.

“Hey, bro.”

– Hey, Kang Woo-shin. You Oriental medicine people, did you make a fuss in the emergency room?

“… … !”

My brother’s voice was full of displeasure.

He’s already a difficult guy to deal with.

Wooshin shrugged his shoulders and waited for the next words.

– I just got a call from Kim Jin-su, and it was embarrassing to hear. Isn’t that bastard Seon I-jun a total idiot?

“Your name is Seon-jun?”

Kang Woo-shin searched his memories in a daze.

Shim Ji-seop and Sa Tae-ryong were in the emergency room together, but they naturally separated when Milana received a CT scan prescription.

But Seon I-jun? Why Seon I-jun all of a sudden?

…soon this conclusion was reached.

‘Seonjun did something again!’

Wooshin pushed up his glasses and asked hurriedly.

“What did Professor Seonjun Seon do in the emergency room?”

– What, don’t you know? That kid was making a fuss about Kim Jin-soo’s diagnosis in the emergency room, and Jin-soo suffered a lot. I guess he insisted on getting a CT scan of the patient’s head because he thought his senior’s words were right.

“ah…?”

Kang Woo-shin was dumbfounded.

Seon I-jun… took Shim Ji-seop’s side and argued with that dirty fellow?

Meanwhile, my brother’s annoying voice kept ringing in my ears.

– And you too, what if you bring your child’s stomach ache to that busy emergency room and bother them? You should cover that.

The arrows of criticism soon turned back to Kang Woo-shin.

Ugh.

He furrowed his brow.

A hot lump rises in my chest.

I was exhausted from working a full-day internship and residency job, and even from experiencing an emergency.

The dam of emotions that had been building up burst.

“… Bro. This is really too much.”

Kang Woo-shin blurted out his true feelings.

Even when I listened to it myself, my voice sounded quite stiff.

– ……what?

The older brother on the other end of the phone also looked quite flustered by the youngest’s rebellion.

Kang Woo-shin could not control his unbridled tongue.

No, I whipped him instead.

“Are you taking that fellow’s side without even listening to my story?”

– Your story? Ha. It’s a fact that you went to the emergency room for a trivial matter.

At that moment, Seon I-jun’s anecdote came to mind.

In fact, even to Kang Woo-shin, Shim Ji-seop’s diagnosis seemed a bit excessive.

The patient looked perfectly fine, even though it was a cerebral hemorrhage.

And yet, Seon I-jun trusted his senior and talked back to his fellow?

I was amazed and envious of that strong bond and that strong faith.

‘Those two are better than us, who are real brothers.’

I felt bitter and angry.

Wooshin glared at me fiercely and glared at me into the cell phone.

“Then what should I do? Oriental medicine doctors don’t have the authority to prescribe tests. What if I miss a major illness and the patient gets hurt? Even if I get cursed at by the emergency room staff, I have to beg for a prescription. Is that wrong?”

– Hey. It’s raining!

“And even if I overdid it, if you were my older brother, you could take my side. You could tell the fellow, ‘My brother must have been trying too hard to treat me.’”

– Are you really going to talk back so rudely?

“Okay. Is your relationship with that fellow more important to you than me, your younger brother?”

I never dared to speak up to my brother.

That fool, he asked his brother loudly and point by point.

– … … .

My brother was so surprised that he didn’t say anything for a while.

Kang Woo-shin let out a ragged breath and hung up the phone.

* * *

“Hoooooo.”

Barely the true God of Rain returned to Milana’s side.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

I tried hard to erase what had happened earlier from my mind.

‘Even if Milana doesn’t have appendicitis, she’s still sick.’

An emergency has been ruled out.

Now it was his job to diagnose and treat the child.

The guardian hadn’t returned yet, so I couldn’t just leave the sick child like this.

‘What’s the cause? Why does it suddenly hurt?’

Earlier in the emergency room, not only a CT scan, but also blood and urine tests were performed.

There were no significant findings suggesting infection.

‘I have a fever and a stomachache even though I’m not infected…?’

Wooshin, who was worried, absentmindedly ran his hand down his arm, which was giving him goosebumps.

Hey, but what temperature is the air conditioning in this room set to?

It was at that time that Kang Woo-shin was grumbling inwardly.

‘…no way?’

He suddenly raised his head as if his mind was lost in thought.

My gaze was fixed on the air conditioner on the ceiling of the hospital room, which constantly radiated cold air.

‘I didn’t think about it because it was winter, but… isn’t it similar to air conditioning sickness?’

Air conditioning sickness.

Strictly speaking, it is not a medical term.

However, it is a common symptom that has its own term, ‘air-conditioningitis’.

If you stay in a room with excessive air conditioning for a long time.

Various clinical symptoms may appear, such as mild cold, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, and indigestion.

‘In a word, it can be seen as a cold-like disease caused by excessive air conditioning.’

Kang Woo-shin’s brain is spinning.

If exposed for a long time to an environment where the indoor/outdoor temperature difference is 5~8℃ or more.

Peripheral blood vessels constrict, impeding blood circulation.

It is thought that air conditioning sickness is caused by a disturbance in the autonomic nervous system.

‘So what’s the cure?’

He began to diagnose, resting his chin on his hand and pacing around the room.

In Oriental medicine, there is a disease called Jungseojeung (中暑證) that is similar to air-conditioning disease.

It is said that ‘the symptoms of influenza are similar to those of a cold, such as headache, chills, body aches, fever, and runny nose’.

‘I can fix that for you!’

Wooshin’s expression brightened as he felt that it was okay.

From here on out, it was a piece of cake.

Among the air conditioning diseases, cases where gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea appear severe.

Prescribe medicines such as Cheongseoikgitang (淸暑益氣湯) or Gwakhyangjeonggisan (藿香正氣散) to take care of the digestive system.

If you have severe symptoms of a cold, chills, fever, headache, or joint pain, prescribe Paedoksan (敗毒散), which is often used as a cold medicine.

Kang Woo-shin hurriedly ran to the ward station.

“Nurse, there isn’t any Cheongseoikgitang in the ward, right?”

“Huh? Of course not this winter. Why are you looking for that medicine all of a sudden?”

Nurses who have worked in oriental medicine wards for a long time know what medicine is being prescribed just by hearing the prescription name.

And Cheongseoikgitang is a medicine that is mainly used in the summer.

The name Cheongseo (淸暑) means to clear away the heat.

It means to strengthen one’s energy.

“I think Milana has caught air conditioning sickness.”

“yes?”

The nurse’s eyes widened.

She was also convinced by Wooshin’s explanation that followed.

“Well, that room is really cold. And since the fact that he was hospitalized was a secret, the child hardly ever came out of the room. Even in the winter, he could easily catch air conditioning sickness.”

“Then… is there a Gwakhyangjeonggi Mountain or a Bulhwangeumjeonggi Mountain?”

“The non-refundable fixed-term deposit is always available. It is an insurance medicine.”

The nurse immediately brought me a few stick-shaped herbal medicine packets.

“Thank you. … But why isn’t the guardian coming?”

Wooshin muttered anxiously as he received it.

Wouldn’t the other person be really surprised?

“Oh, teacher. Haven’t you heard yet? I thought you knew.”

“What?”

“Patient Sergei, he had a cerebral hemorrhage. It was quite serious. I think they’re probably in a state of chaos right now with the emergency treatment.”

“Huh? Really?”

Kang Woo-shin’s jaw dropped open.

“But since the Korean medicine rehabilitation and teachers found it quickly, it seems like it will end with medication treatment without requiring surgery.”

“That’s fortunate… So Milana will have to stay alone all night?”

“Right. We can’t just call a nursing agency in the middle of the night. We have to make rounds of the wards and check in occasionally, you know.”

The nurses have to guard the station all night, so they can’t just stay by Milana’s side.

The worry didn’t last long.

Kang Woo-shin nodded.

“I will stay by your side all night to check on your condition.”

“Oh my, Teacher Wooshin. You must have had a hard time during this Lunar New Year holiday.”

But there was no other way.

Kang Woo-shin nursed Milana all night.

As soon as I got back to the hospital room, I turned off the air conditioner.

After giving herbal medicine and performing acupuncture treatment on her stomach, the child’s complexion gradually improved.

A few hours later.

Busus-.

Milana, who had been sleeping soundly, stirred and woke up.

Wooshin, who was dozing off on the chair, quickly rubbed his eyes and asked the child in English.

[ Milana, how are you? ]

[ I don’t feel pain anymore. Thank you, doctor. ]

Then the child added something in Russian.

What do you mean?

When Wooshin tilted his head, the child quickly took out his cell phone and turned on the translator.

The sentence that soon appeared on the screen was-.

[ You are the name . ]

“… … !”

When Wooshin looks up in surprise, Milana smiles shyly.

“… … .”

Within a moment, Kang Woo-shin also raised the corners of his lips.

All the hardships I had while on duty were washed away by a child’s smile.

The long night was over and day was just beginning to break outside the window.
