Doctor Choi Dae-ho Episode 211

Daeho smiled faintly while holding his drink.

“Senior, is this building sturdy?”

“At this level, not even a crumb will fall off.”

“It’s a nice building.”

All the way.

The tiger who answered drank the drink coolly.

Do-Woon Jong asked Dae-Ho with narrow eyes.

“But why did you explain it so complicatedly?”

“When did I.”

“You spoke awkwardly on purpose. You made it hard to understand… You really?”

At that moment, Do-Woon Jong stopped and asked as if he realized something.

Daeho answered while still drinking his drink leisurely.

“Then, my senior will come forward.”

“Is that really why you did that?”

“I am the attending doctor. Wouldn’t the guardian feel reassured if he or she heard the good news from the head doctor’s mouth?”

Wink.

At the same time, Daeho answered with a wink.

Do-woon Jong placed his thick arm on Tae-ho’s shoulder.

Thud!

“This punk. Even in that situation, he’s still a decent guy who thinks about his senior’s dignity.”

“Ugh. It’s heavy.”

“I know. In that sense, how about some Korean beef? I’ll go to Majang-dong and treat you really hot.”

“It’s light. It’s like a feather. You’re so skinny, sir.”

The tiger’s face suddenly lit up and he turned his position around like turning the palm of his hand.

There was no reason to refuse when they offered to buy me meat, especially beef.

Since ancient times, the best Korean beef was the one bought by someone else.

The next morning.

Daeho was standing in front of the officetel’s large window and looking out at the scenery.

There was a cell phone hanging from Daeho’s ear.

I was on the phone with Do-Woon Jong.

“Yes, senior. I heard that Jeong Gyu-jin woke up well.”

“Yeah. But I heard he really wanted to see you.”

“Senior, please explain carefully.”

As Daeho spoke calmly, Dowoonjong’s somewhat regretful voice was heard.

“But as the person in charge, shouldn’t you show your face at least once?”

“If Doctor Pay keeps coming back to the hospital, his image as a senior will suffer.”

“So what? I don’t care.”

“I don’t like it. Then please send me news often.”

Stop.

Daeho smiled bitterly after finishing the call.

“I think this is it.”

Taeho quickly turned around and headed towards the sofa.

The sofa table was piled high with a laptop and various documents.

These were documents related to Jeong Gyu-jin’s surgery brought from Do-Woon Jong’s hospital.

dump.

Daeho, sitting on the sofa, picked up his laptop.

“There are about two days left until I go to work. That should be enough time.”

He muttered something meaningless in a low voice.

The tiger immediately became serious and focused on the laptop screen.

The notebook was filled with the surgical records of Jeong Gyu-jin, who had surgery yesterday.

It was something that Daeho wrote from memory until late in the day.

His eyes were serious as he reviewed yesterday’s surgery on his laptop.

“Um. So, next is……”

Cast cast cast.

The tiger, who was mumbling, felt slightly uncomfortable and rubbed his hands and arms.

It was the aftereffect of pushing myself too hard and having surgery yesterday.

It seemed like he himself wasn’t really aware of it.

Both eyes were fixed on the laptop and did not move an inch.

“So by pushing the erector spinae muscle sideways, space is created……”

Mumble, mumble.

I deliberately recited the surgical procedure out loud, chewing on it over and over again.

It’s not just a simple surgical review.

In the process, we were researching the parts that were applicable or could be applied to Andrew’s surgery.

All the research could not be conducted with just one surgery.

However, we were able to look back and see where unexpected variables occurred.

* * *

Two mornings later.

Daeho arrived at Chunghyo University Hospital.

“It seems like it’s been a while.”

It was a week-long business trip(?), but it felt like a long time since I’d been there.

I was on my way to the emergency room.

A voice calling out to the tiger was heard from behind.

“Doctor Richard.”

What is this title?

Swish.

When I looked back, Hong Yu-hyeon was approaching, as expected.

“Ah, Mr. Hong.”

“I heard you came back from a business trip to the US.”

“Yes. I’m going back to work starting today.”

When Daeho answered, Hong Yu-hyeon looked curious.

“I’m very curious about what kind of symptoms the patient had.”

“It was very difficult.”

“Now that you say it, I’m even more curious.”

Hong Yu-hyeon showed curiosity with sparkling eyes.

The atmosphere was full of hospitality, and there was a clear nuance of wanting to have a separate space.

Daeho also had a crush on the person, so there was no reason to reject him.

“Let’s try to schedule a time soon.”

“In that case, I guess I should open a restaurant that only I know about.”

“Have you heard that I met with the professors?”

“Yes. It came up when I met with Professor Choi about the collaboration issue.”

“I see.”

Daeho now knows why Hong Yu-hyeon seems to be whining a little.

Hong Yu-hyeon instead expressed his disappointment.

“You should have called me that day too, right?”

“I hadn’t even thought of that.”

“More importantly, that patient. Did you meet him this time?”

Swish.

Hong Yu-hyeon closed the distance a little more and asked quietly.

‘That patient.’

It was clear he was talking about Andrew.

In that moment, the atmosphere in the tiger became calm.

“Did Professor Choi say that?”

“That’s not what you said from the beginning. I was just asking because I was looking at unfamiliar PACS data.”

“Hmm. I see.”

“Did I bring that up in vain?”

Hong Yu-hyeon immediately noticed that Dae-ho’s atmosphere had become cold.

To be honest, Daeho wasn’t feeling very good.

I had no intention of spreading Andrew’s PACS data around.

What was somewhat calming was that Professor Choi Jeong-gu did not reveal it intentionally.

Still, I was a little annoyed.

“Ahem. No. And I haven’t met that patient.”

“I see. I’m a little… No, no.”

“What is it that makes you swallow your words?”

Daeho suddenly became serious and sharp.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard the medical opinions regarding Andrew.

Hong Yu-hyeon asked softly, as if he had made up his mind.

“If it’s not too much trouble, could I participate in the surgical study of that patient?”

“It’s a bit sudden.”

“That’s right. I was going to talk to you slowly while having a drink, but I think I spoke too hastily. You should go to work now.”

Hong Yu-hyeon tried to finish the conversation somewhat hurriedly.

At that moment, Daeho looked at him seriously and asked.

“Mr. Hong. May I ask why?”

“Well, he is a gunshot wound patient, but isn’t he a rather unique case?”

“Yes.”

“It is also a case where many surgical techniques have been applied to various surgical conditions.”

Hong Yu-hyeon’s explanation became longer and longer.

Everything he said was true.

To save Andrew, who was in critical condition, Daeho and many other doctors poured all their skills into it.

Hong Yu-hyeon seemed curious about it.

It is a purely medical curiosity.

Just looking at his eyes made them burn brightly.

Daeho didn’t think deeply.

There was no reason to be alarmed that more doctors would be studying Andrew’s condition.

If we study from various perspectives, the probability of finding a better surgical method will increase.

So I gave my answer coolly.

“In that case, I will send you the PACS by email.”

“Are you really including me?”

“Patient information will be limited.”

“Isn’t that a given? Instead, you shouldn’t kick me out just because I’m not performing well.”

Hong Yu-hyeon smiled brightly and acted coquettish.

Daeho finally smiled.

“That won’t happen.”

“Ah, I feel a little better now.”

“What are you talking about?”

When Daeho asked with a puzzled look, Hong Yu-hyeon answered with an embarrassed face.

“I felt like I had been too greedy with Dr. Richard all this time, so I felt a bit bad about it.”

“Oh, I was asking for the residents.”

“That too, and there was also the incident where you came in as a helper for student Lee Ji-soo’s surgery.”

“That’s right. I did quite a bit for you.”

When Daeho answered jokingly, Hong Yu-hyeon continued the conversation with a slightly more relaxed expression.

“So I was a little heavy-hearted, but I feel good because I think I can at least pretend to help like this.”

“It won’t just be a show, it’ll really help.”

“That’s because you think highly of me. I’m the one who lacks both skill and experience, so I think I might just be doing odd jobs.”

Hong Yu-hyeon had no hesitation in lowering himself.

It seems that he thought it was absurd to compare him with Professor Choi Jeong-gu and Professor Lee Seong-hyeon.

He said he was like that.

Daeho didn’t bother to comfort him.

“Anyway, please take care of me.”

“I am grateful that you included me.”

Kuk.

Daeho and Hong Yu-hyeon shook hands firmly and joined forces.

And then we parted ways and headed to the emergency room.

Daeho thought about a doctor named Hong Yu-hyeon.

“He really is a doctor with a good heart.”

This is something I felt when we first met.

The image of him asking me to take care of the residents’ future was still vivid in his mind.

Because he was such a doctor, Daho also felt like sharing Andrew’s illness.

“Andrew, you are a blessed man.”

Many doctors, regardless of nationality, are conducting research for Andrew.

Of course, he was also in it.

And one more thing.

I felt glad that I came to Korea.

Andrew’s surgery was dark in the US. But when he came to Korea, it felt like the darkness was slowly fading away.

This does not mean that the chances of a successful surgery have increased.

It would be more accurate to say that I was gaining the courage to have the surgery.

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to Daeho.

“Is this why you sent it?”

* * *

Daeho, who arrived at work, headed to his dedicated seat.

It was the ‘Night Emergency Room Director’ desk located in the nurse’s office.

It’s not an official name.

However, it was a symbolic position created by nurses.

Even during the week, no one used that spot.

It was a desk just for Daeho.

Swish.

“Okay, now let’s work hard again.”

Daeho, who lightly swept the desk, felt his motivation burn.

But that time was short-lived.

Daeho was faced with a rather awkward situation.

Crackling.

There were sharp eyes looking at the tiger from all directions.

That was the look the nurses gave me.

“Ha, really. How could that be?”

“How much do souvenirs cost? Can’t you buy me just one?”

“I’ll buy you some chocolate at the duty-free shop. We’re not even that close.”

All sorts of criticism continued.

It was because of a promise Daeho made when he left on an emergency business trip.

Actually, it wasn’t what Daeho had promised.

It was a promise forced upon us by the nurses.

Even so, Daeho had nothing to say.

‘I have to go to the airport to go to the duty free shop.’

Since Daeho had never been to Incheon, his shoulders looked particularly narrow.

But I couldn’t just take it, so I tried to make excuses timidly.

“The schedule was so tight that I couldn’t help it.”

“Oh, I see. You went to the airport 10 minutes early, so you didn’t have time to go on a shopping spree.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Okay. We’re just coworkers who pretend to know each other in the emergency room.”

Excuses are a no-no.

Rather, it only increased the backlash.

It seemed like everyone was really upset.
