Rehabilitation and Conferences

* * *

“Hello!! I am Nam Na-rae, the next presenter!!”

A confident voice echoes through the hospital conference room.

Nam Na-rae grabbed the microphone and stood in front of the conference room podium.

The professors and medical staff of the Oriental Medicine Rehabilitation Department smiled and gave a short applause.

“The case I’m going to present at this conference is that of a menopausal woman who complained of severe body pain. This patient had particularly severe life event stress.”

I also looked at my junior who was presenting in a clear and cheerful voice with admiration.

“… As you can see, on the first day of hospitalization, the patient complained of severe pain all over his body, especially back pain and chest pain. He said that his NRS (numerical rating scale) was 6 or 7 out of 10, and that it was so painful that he had difficulty breathing.”

Nam Na-rae points to the screen where the presentation material is floating with a laser pointer.

The PPT nicely compared the symptoms of patient Kim Young-sook before and after hospitalization.

“In the discharge chart, you can see that the pain has significantly improved to NRS 1~2 points. In addition, overall menopausal symptoms such as hot and cold alternation*, insomnia, indigestion, and frequent urination have greatly improved.”

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

The audience murmurs in surprise at the patient’s remarkable improvement.

I watched the little commotion with pleasure.

“You just said that the patient’s overall menopausal symptoms have improved. Do you have any more specific evidence for this?”

Chief Ryu Ho-beom, who was listening to the presentation, raises his hand and asks a sharp question.

However, Nam Na-rae did not panic and handed over the presentation materials.

“Yes! We have measured the Kupperman Index (KI), which is commonly used in academia!”

I lowered my head and secretly chuckled.

I knew this would happen.

I thought someone would definitely ask that question, so it was a good idea to tell Nam Na-rae to check the KI score as well.

“I’m sure you all know this, but let me just mention it once! The Kupperman Index is an index developed by Dr. Kupperman of New York University School of Medicine.”

Nam Na-rae met the audience’s eyes once and then continued speaking.

“It is a questionnaire that scores various health conditions of menopausal women. If it is less than 20 points, it is diagnosed as mild, if it is 20 to 40 points, it is diagnosed as moderate, if it is 40 to 60 points, it is diagnosed as severe, and if it is 60 points or more, it is diagnosed as critical.”

And then again, as the screen shifted, people gasped and held their breath.

“92 points?”

Patient Kim Young-sook’s KI score was over 90 points on the first day.

“Yes. As you can see, the patient’s menopause index was very serious at the time of the first visit. However, the score at discharge was 55 points, which is still high, but has decreased significantly.”

“Oh. The level has been downgraded from critical to severe.”

“That’s right! Fortunately, you have improved a lot, but I think you will need continued treatment after discharge.”

Nam Na-rae, who had been presenting well up until now, suddenly felt embarrassed and gave a shy closing statement.

“… This concludes my presentation.”

Clap clap clap!!

This time, the applause was much louder than when the presentation began.

The professors are competing to praise Nam Na-rae.

“It’s amazing that you’ve achieved this much in such a short period of time.”

“That’s why I find it so striking that you thought to link the patient’s body pain to menopausal symptoms.”

“It was also good to find a correlation between life events and stress.”

“It’s a sophistication that doesn’t befit a practitioner.”

Then, Nam Na-rae, who was standing in front of the stage and twisting her body, suddenly mentioned my name.

“Professor Seonjun helped me a lot. As expected, Hanbit University’s resident seniors are exceptional!!”

Whoa. In an instant, everyone’s attention is focused on me.

The professors’ target of criticism naturally turned to me.

“Somehow… Do you know what I was thinking inside? This is completely Mr. Seon-i-jun’s style, I was doing it.”

“Haha. Mr. Sun is really good at guiding his juniors. It’s really nice to see.”

“Doctor Sun is not only good at examining the musculoskeletal system, but he is also well-versed in gynecological diseases. The fact that he can connect the dots like this shows that he is a truly skilled doctor.”

I responded to the professors’ compliments with an awkward smile.

Since my head was full of the knowledge of Professor Buyeo Jeong of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, I was able to easily infer it.

These days, I am really reaping the benefits of studying hard in each department during my internship.

At that time, Professor Yeon Jae-wook, who had been observing the situation with a pleased face, opened his mouth to speak to me.

“Professor Sun. In your opinion, what is this patient’s prognosis after discharge?”

“Ah… If you continue treatment after discharge, your KI score is expected to drop to 30 points within 3 months.”

Then, “Oh, indeed,” exclamations of admiration erupted here and there.

“Look at my confident appearance. Even if I were a patient, I would trust and follow along.”

“That’s what I mean. It’s really hard to determine something with such specific numbers.”

“But somehow, when Mr. Seon says it like that, it doesn’t sound ridiculous at all.”

…I’m just telling you what I saw firsthand.

This time I really became embarrassed.

I can’t say I saw the future, though.

“Professor Seonjun. By the way, did you finish filming the documentary?”

The person who asked the question this time is Professor Kim Hyuk-joo, the second-in-command of our department.

“Oh, yes. I went back satisfied that we had filmed all the scenes the production team wanted.”

“When can I see the results?”

“The goal is to broadcast within six months at the earliest, or within this year at the latest.”

“I see. I didn’t know you’d be filming in the US. I’ve been on Korean TV shows a few times, but I’ve never been on an American show before. You’re my senior.”

Professor Kim Hyuk-joo’s playful remarks made people burst into laughter.

“If this continues, isn’t Professor Seon-i Jun going to advance into the United States? Why, there is a branch of Hanbit University in the United States. There are also American university hospitals that have established sisterhood relationships.”

“Oh my. Then that’s difficult. Losing Professor Seon is a great loss for Hanbit University.”

“Professor Sun. Even if you go to America, you must complete your residency at our hospital before you go. Do you understand?”

I just stood still.

Professors who suddenly want to send me to America.

Ryu Ho-beom, who had been giggling quietly next to him, whispers.

“Brother Lee Jun. Are you really thinking of going to America?”

“Will it be there?”

I laughed it off in absurdity.

There’s so much to do here, but where do you go?

‘Anyway, it’s America…’

There is a branch of Hanbit University in Los Angeles, USA called HULA, and there is a department of Oriental medicine there as well.

I had forgotten about it, but then I suddenly remembered the cheerful HULA friends I met during my internship.

I thought I would like to go there at least once, even if it was just for a field trip.

After all the conference schedule was over.

Professor Yeon Jae-wook looked around the conference room and said.

“Thank you for your hard work. This conference was also great. It seemed like everyone had prepared hard.”

“thank you!”

“Then, practitioners, go about your business. We have something to talk about briefly.”

The trainees bow their heads to Professor Yeon’s words and quickly leave the conference room.

However, the rehabilitation and teaching staff remain seated in their seats.

While we’re here, we plan to hold regular departmental meetings.

Professor Yeon Jae-wook began the meeting by handing out papers to the faculty.

“Everyone, take one. This is this month’s income. The first page is the inpatient income, and the next page is the outpatient income.”

Fall, fall.

Professor Kim Hyuk-joo’s eyes widened as he turned the page.

“Professor Yeon. But isn’t this information incorrect?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Why did outpatient treatment revenue increase so much? Shouldn’t it be decreasing as the existing 3-year-olds leave?”

When the trainee reaches the third year, which is the most senior year, he or she also begins to see outpatients.

However, due to the nature of medical services, there were patients who stopped coming when their treating doctor changed.

Now that Shim Ji-seop and Hwang Mi-na, who had previously been treating patients, have left, it is only right that outpatient revenues decrease.

Then Professor Yeon Jae-wook burst into hearty laughter.

“Oh, you’re surprised, aren’t you? This month, Dr. Seon-i Jun saw an outpatient clinic. The number of patients increased dramatically.”

“Huh? You’re not even a professor, and your internship treatment was at that level?”

“It was so popular that there were even weeks of backlogs for patients who had made reservations. That’s why Dr. Seon is still providing outpatient care even after filming is over.”

“I see… .”

After smiling brightly at Professor Kim Hyuk-joo, who was speechless in surprise, Professor Yeon Jae-wook changed the subject.

“Professors, do you think first-year students from other schools are adjusting well?”

Then the rest of the professors laugh and add their comments.

“Teacher Nam Na-rae? At first, she seemed to have a hard time adjusting, but seeing her today, I feel relieved.”

“It seems like Teacher Seonjun took good care of Teacher Namnarae.”

“That’s really surprising. I thought that if you were a teacher, you wouldn’t care about your juniors or that you’d scold them harshly if they made a mistake.”

“The more I look at Mr. Seon, the more I see that he is a true gentleman. He fills in the empty spots of the third-year students and is also good at taking care of his juniors.”

The reviews were all favorable, and Professor Yeon nodded in satisfaction.

“Professor Seonjun is the luck of our department.”

* * *

First floor lobby of Hanbit University Hospital.

“Wow, the effect is really amazing.”

Bae A-rin, who was crossing the lobby, turned her right shoulder as if curious.

I think it’s because my stiff shoulders were loosened with chiropractic massage, but moving around has become much easier.

Now, I don’t feel that uncomfortable when I comb my hair or take a deep breath.

Bae A-rin, who was humming and heading to the elevator, suddenly stopped in surprise in front of an electronic display board.

‘Huh?! That’s Hyunseung unnie?’

There were panels throughout the lobby introducing the hospital’s faculty.

I spotted a familiar face among them.

Seon I-jun’s precious executive of the fan cafe, Lee Hyun-seung, was wearing a doctor’s gown and linking arms in a cool way.

‘My sister is a professor of cardiovascular medicine? Awesome!’

Arin stood in front of it, unable to take her eyes off the panel’s screen until it changed.

A while ago, Hyunseung said that she works at Hanbit University Hospital.

But I never dreamed that he was a professor.

‘Our Hyunseung unnie, isn’t she super cool?’

Bae A-rin entered Seon I-jun’s examination room excitedly.

Then I sat down on the patient chair and started crying without thinking much about it.

“Teacher, teacher! Something really amazing just happened to me~.”

“What is it?”

“There’s a professor of both sides among the staff of our fan cafe, right? This is the first time I found out about it!”

“I see. What is your name?”

“This is Hyunseung Lee!”

Cool!

Seon I-jun suddenly coughed loudly and asked again.

“Are you Hyunseung Lee? Hyunseung Lee, Cardiovascular Medicine?”

“Yes! I guess you know me?”

“… You could say that.”

Lee Jun, whose eyes had seemed anxious for some reason, soon regained his original composure.

“Arin. How are your shoulders?”

“I really feel much better! I’m so amazed that I got this much better in just 10 sessions, just like the teacher said.”

Bae A-rin happily clapped her hands.

“That’s right, that’s right! I have something to tell you~. My house isn’t that big, but I run a publishing company. If you need any books, please contact me. We are experts in medical books, hehe.”

Then Seon I-jun’s head suddenly turned towards her.

“Really? There are books that I want to read but are often difficult to obtain. Is it possible to get out-of-print books as well?”

“Of course. It might be in the warehouse, and if it’s not, my dad can ask around and get it for you!”

“Really?”

Lee Jun’s expression brightened at Arin’s words.

Looking at that face gave me an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

I think I know what it means to feel full even without eating.

‘Dad is the best!’

Bae A-rin cried out inwardly.

Even when I was a publisher, I was criticized for choosing such a boring field.

Today, I am truly grateful to my dad.
