Body pain (1)

‘Is this it?’

Nam Narae checked the door plate of a multi-person ward.

On his arm was a draft of a chart that the intern had prepared in advance.

Knock knock-.

As I opened the door to the hospital room, I saw a plump middle-aged woman sitting on the bed by the window.

The patient was tapping his shoulders and back with his clenched fists, as if his whole body was in pain.

“Hello, Ms. Kim Young-sook! My name is Nam Na-rae and I am the patient’s attending physician.”

Nam Na-rae approached Shin-hwan and greeted him brightly.

however….

The woman named Kim Young-sook looked at Na-rae and frowned.

“The attending physician is younger than I thought.”

“… … !”

Na-rae was taken aback by the patient’s open gaze that looked her up and down.

Every time something like this happens, I feel really awkward.

She has a young appearance, so this kind of thing happened often since she was an intern.

In the past, I showed my displeasure and even tried to be serious.

‘What’s the point of fighting with the patient? The best thing to do is to just end it amicably!’

After all, it’s best to just gloss over it.

Nam Na-rae smiled brightly as she enthusiastically opened the chart.

“Haha, I guess it’s because I’m a bit short. I heard that you have a lot of uncomfortable areas. Can I ask you a few more questions?”

But despite Narae’s smile, the patient’s face became more distorted.

“Again? I already told the professor at the outpatient clinic earlier, and the intern teacher also asked me a lot of questions.”

“Ah… Right? The first day of hospitalization will be really troublesome and difficult. I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask~.”

“Oh, okay. Okay, then.”

The patient sighs and nods reluctantly.

But unlike at first when I didn’t want to open my mouth at all.

Even to Nam Na-rae’s simple question, the patient’s answers were endless.

“When did you start having back pain? My back started hurting since I was a virgin, but after giving birth, it became a chronic disease. Now, even if the weather is a little cold or cloudy, it hurts. I don’t need the weather forecast. Oh my, it must be because I didn’t take proper postpartum care back then.”

“Oh, so that’s what happened… .”

“Even if I take an X-ray, they say that the space between my bones is a little narrower, but there’s nothing particularly wrong. Physical therapy and manual therapy didn’t help. I tried a few pain injections, but they only worked for a short time. I’ve been to a few oriental medicine clinics, but the one in XX-dong is, well-.”

Nam Na-rae glanced at her wristwatch anxiously, listening to the patient’s words.

‘What should I do? I have to go and place the order quickly. It’s already past time…’

There is also a time limit for placing an order.

This way, the hospital cafeteria can prepare patient meals on time.

The nurses working shifts turned on the EMR, checked Nam Na-rae’s orders, and handed them over to each other.

I wonder if they boil herbal medicine in the bathhouse before leaving work.

‘In particular, basic hospitalization tests must be requested quickly before the end of the bilateral consultation time… .’

Typically, when a patient is admitted, blood tests, urine tests, and chest X-rays are performed.

In Oriental medicine clinics without prescriptions, this problem was resolved by referring patients to Western medicine.

The patient’s ramblings became increasingly unlistenable.

Nam Na-rae, who couldn’t stand it any longer, ended up cutting off Kim Young-sook.

“Oh, yes. But, patient, where does it hurt the most?”

I wonder if he really felt bad when he was interrupted while he was talking excitedly.

The patient became serious and spoke coldly.

“No, I told you before! I can’t decide on a specific one because I’m sick here and there every day. Now that we’re on the subject, let me ask you something. I’ve been to this hospital and that hospital, but nothing worked, so I took the courage to be admitted here. Do you think you can cure it?”

Nam Na-rae flinched at the sudden question.

There were too many areas where the pain was complained of, it was a chronic disease, and I went to several hospitals but it didn’t get better.

In these cases, the prognosis is honestly not very good.

“that….”

When she hesitated and failed to continue speaking, the patient became openly disappointed.

“Oh my, I guess I came all the way here for nothing. I need to get discharged soon.”

Kim Young-sook suddenly lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and turned her back.

The sight of her back was truly painful to Nam Na-rae.

‘I really want to do well for you. What can I do if we’re already at odds with each other like this?’

She left the hospital room, her spirits somewhat dampened.

* * *

Nam Na-rae was dragging her feet and heading to the ward station.

“~~.”

“~~.”

The men’s boisterous voices are getting louder.

What does this mean?

Nam Na-rae, who arrived in front of the station with curiosity, witnessed a small commotion.

Hanui Rehabilitation and Donggi Saetaryong were laughing and talking with a middle-aged man.

“Thank you, Professor Saetaryong. Thanks to you, my father’s health has improved a lot. He is receiving treatment and will be discharged from the hospital.”

“Hahaha, it’s a child! It’s all thanks to the patient receiving treatment diligently and walking diligently. I hope you take good care of yourself when you get home so you don’t get sick.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the patient’s guardian suddenly bent down toward the floor.

A moment later, the guardian was holding two boxes of delicious strawberries in his hands.

“This isn’t much, but I bought it because I’m so grateful, so please accept it.”

“Oh my, you bought all these things. It’s okay! Take them with you and share them with your family.”

“No, you can’t. My father has asked me several times to take this to Mr. Saetaryong. Please accept it for the sake of my sincerity in bringing it here.”

After a warm-hearted argument, it was Saetaryong who eventually gave in.

“Oh my… Then I’ll eat well! Please be sure to tell my father thank you.”

So Tae-ryong received a lot of strawberries as a gift… .

“I’ll leave this behind the station, so let’s all eat together!”

“Wow, really? Thank you!”

He chose to share the fruit with the people in the ward.

Often, when a patient is given a lot to eat, they do this.

There is a small communal space behind the ward station, where any passing medical staff can eat.

Soon the sweet scent of strawberries began to waft from behind the station.

“Oh my, what’s that strawberry?”

“Professor Saetaryong said that his patient gave it to him when he was discharged.”

“Oh, really? Teacher Tae-ryong is popular~.”

“That makes sense. You have a cheerful personality and you work hard.”

When you eat a snack, you naturally become curious about its source.

The nurses and trainees passing by picked up strawberries one by one and naturally praised Saetae-ryong.

“… … .”

Silently placing orders into the station computer.

Nam Na-rae, who was watching this whole scene, felt her heart pounding strangely.

It’s a strangely unpleasant thrill.

That was when.

“Hey, Nam Na-rae! If you’re done, you can come and do it too.”

“…Huh? Oh, yeah.”

Saetaryong called out to Nam Na-rae, who had just put out the urgent fire.

Eating strawberries absentmindedly next to the laughing people, she soon realized the true nature of her emotions.

It was just envy and impatience.

‘My friend is doing so well. But I… .’

I couldn’t help but compare them.

She was also a model student at her school, with good grades and being called an ace.

So, I was able to get into Hanbit University’s Department of Oriental Medicine Rehabilitation after going through fierce competition.

But. Right now, his appearance compared to Tae-ryong feels quite shabby.

‘If this continues, I’ll be treated like a bomb, and the nurses won’t want to work with me. I’ll get cursed at by professors and seniors, and later on, when juniors come in, they’ll laugh at me behind my back…?’

Nam Na-rae’s unique imagination was triggered in a bad way.

Everyone praises strawberries for being so sweet and delicious.

She couldn’t taste anything in her mouth.

[Cafe Manager Bae A-rin]

‘Oh my. What a mess.’

Inside the elevator going up to the oriental medicine ward.

I rubbed the back of my head as I looked at the newly added contacts on my phone.

I always wondered who the fan cafe president was, but I never thought I would actually meet him.

‘After the treatment today, we ended up exchanging contact information.’

My policy is not to give out my contact information to patients unless there is a special reason.

Even if you exchange them, it would be at most something like a Starstargram ID?

But there is a reason why I gave my number to Bae A-rin.

‘I wanted to give something back to the fan cafe members anyway.’

I think I’ll need the cafe owner’s contact information in case something like that happens.

Anyway, it was when I was passing by the ward station on my way to the hospital.

“Teacher Lee Jun! There are strawberries behind the station. Enjoy them.”

A nurse kindly informs us.

I turned toward him and asked.

“Did the patient give it to you?”

“Yes, I heard that Teacher Saetaryong is already popular. He must be very dependable with his juniors.”

Aha… It looks like Tae-ryong received a gift from the patient.

You’re doing a good job as the attending physician. That’s admirable.

I was looking at the station through the open door while eating strawberries.

I frowned slightly as I saw the familiar back of someone working on a computer.

‘Isn’t that Nam Narae?’

This is a new recruit that I’ve been paying attention to recently.

Unlike Saetaryong, she seemed to have failed to leave work on time today as well.

I quickly washed my hands and walked over to her.

“Teacher Narae, what’s the problem?”

“Ah, Mr. Seon-i-jun! That’s it… .”

Unlike the spirited Nam Na-rae, his voice lacks strength.

The corners of her eyes, which were looking up at me, soon drooped.

“The new patient is so… difficult.”

“In what way?”

“Look at this EMR chart.”

——

– Body pain: Pain that moves around the entire body.

– Sometimes it is difficult to breathe due to back pain and chest pain. There is no improvement with painkillers and other treatments.

– headache

– Han Yeol Wang Rae*

– Poor sleep, indigestion

– Frequent urination and feeling of residual urine

– Menstruation: Menopause at age 46. Menopause occurred after undergoing a unilateral oophorectomy due to an ovarian cyst.

——

(*Cold and heat alternate: chills and fever alternate)

As I was concentrating and looking at the monitor, Nam Na-rae next to me started to sullenly mutter.

“As you can see, there are so many areas that the patient complains of pain in. There are also many other problems besides pain. Above all, I think the patient hates me.”

“You don’t like it, why?”

“I guess he said that because I looked young. And he asked me if I could make him better, but I was so flustered for a moment that I couldn’t answer. Then he looked extremely disappointed. I don’t know how to treat this patient from now on.”

Um… It’s a difficult situation.

While I was scratching the back of my neck listening to my junior’s worries, something suddenly caught my eye.

The ‘Treatment Plan’ section of the initial chart was blank.

“Have you made a treatment plan?”

“Ah! I haven’t done that yet. I’m putting in the order first. The professor said he’ll confirm it during the rounds tomorrow morning, so I’m going to think about it now.”

“I see… .”

“Yes. But thanks to the USB data you gave me, it was much easier to place my order. Thank you!”

It was at that time that Nam Narae tried hard to smile.

A nurse approaches from far down the hallway and calls Nam Na-rae.

“Dr. Nam Narae! The new patient who came in today is fighting with someone else in the hospital room.”

“Huh? Oh my, I can’t live like this. I’ll go and see!”

Nam Narae suddenly gets up with a sigh and runs off somewhere.

After thinking about it for a moment, I followed her.
