Doctor Choi Dae-ho Episode 223

Chu Young-seong quickly changed the subject, realizing that the question was wrong.

“Ahem. This isn’t a common occurrence in the ER.”

“This is my first time saying something like this.”

“therefore.”

“If we turn it around, this is the patient’s condition that requires this much treatment.”

When Daeho spoke honestly, Chu Yeongseong had nothing to say.

“That is true, but.”

“Then let me ask you a favor. I’ll go down and catch my breath for a bit.”

“Yeah. Anyway, you worked hard. If there’s a problem later, no, I shouldn’t have a problem. Hehe.”

Crackle crackle.

Chu Young-seong quickly shook his head as if he had been hit by Dae-ho’s face.

Meanwhile, Daeho looked at Hansugil.

There was a reason why he was brought up to the ICU.

This is because it is a place specialized in providing intensive care to patients.

-Beep beep, beep beep.

The sharp sound of the ECG stimulated my nerves.

And since I was only breathing with one lung, my breathing was a little rough.

“Ts …

Daeho watched him for a while.

If we evaluate only the emergency surgery, the result was a success.

But it is a forced success.

The bleeding was stopped to that extent.

So it was unstable.

If I can get through tonight, I’ll buy myself a few more days. That’ll give me enough strength to recover and make regular surgery easier.

Conversely, if something went wrong tonight, additional emergency surgery would be extremely difficult.

I hoped that wouldn’t happen.

‘Please hold on tight. For Eunbyeol’s sake.’

Daeho sincerely hoped for it.

Only after cheering with all my heart could I turn my heavy steps.

* * *

As he left the ICU, Dae-ho had a cell phone in his ear.

The person on the phone was Associate Professor Cho Min-woo.

“……That’s the situation.”

“So if you call me in the middle of the night, I’ll just cover it up and fly over.”

“If you abbreviate it, it becomes like that.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Associate Professor Cho Min-woo’s answer was too simple.

Instead, Daeho checked the person he was talking to again by checking the screen of his cell phone.

“Are you the associate professor?”

“Then how did you know that I would call an associate professor to discuss the topic of residency?”

“yes.”

“What? This kid is really!”

Associate Professor Cho Min-woo’s voice sounded like it was going to burst.

Daeho had already put his cell phone far away.

After a loud voice passed, he spoke again, bringing his voice close to my ear.

“It’s unexpected, isn’t it?”

“What’s the big deal? It’s about paying off debt. That’s what I know.”

“Is it easy?”

“Why are you bringing up the child who has been transferred to a general ward and is receiving good treatment? I said it’s just to settle the debt. Anyway, hang up!”

Stop.

Associate Professor Cho Min-woo got angry for no reason and hung up the phone.

Seeing this sharp reaction, it seemed like Daeho’s guess was correct.

“This person is also really funny.”

Despite his prickly personality, he surprisingly had a gentle side.

Daeho left his thoughts about Associate Professor Jo Min-woo behind and called the next person.

It was Hong Yu-hyeon.

“Mr. Hong.”

“Oh, Dr. Richard. Why are you calling?”

“……Because there is such a patient.”

Daeho briefly explained the main points, but Hong Yu-hyeon understood right away.

“Okay, I’ll be on standby for an emergency call.”

“It’s a sudden request, but thank you for understanding.”

“What are you talking about? No, I guess I should go back to the hospital.”

“yes?”

As Daeho nodded, Hong Yu-hyeon’s words were heard immediately afterwards.

“Wouldn’t it be better to focus on care so that no problems arise at night?”

“There’s nothing I can do for you right now just by watching.”

“Of course. But if we take a closer look, wouldn’t the patient appreciate our efforts?”

“I will come and check from time to time, so you don’t have to do it, Mr. Hong.”

Although Daeho tried to appease him, Hong Yu-hyeon was delighted.

“That would be even better. You would have time to talk about this and that with Dr. Richard.”

“Then what?”

“I just got in and will be leaving in a bit. See you at the hospital then.”

Hong Yu-hyeon hung up the phone in a slightly excited voice.

Daeho looked at his phone and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

“This person is also special.”

Still, I was grateful that he didn’t come running right away.

Daeho’s phone call didn’t end there.

There was one more place left.

That was the operating room.

“Richard from the emergency room. Please stand by for surgery. The surgeon is Associate Professor Cho Min-woo of the Department of Surgery.”

After making that call, Daeho put down his phone.

I honestly hoped all of this was just speculation.

Jinsim hoped that patient Han Soo-gil would get through tonight safely and face tomorrow.

But the chances of that actually happening were not very high.

“Hoooo.”

Daeho took a deep breath and headed to the emergency room.

He had just finished emergency surgery.

I just wanted to lie down for a little while.

Daeho came down to the emergency room that way.

Yeah.

As I entered the back door of the emergency room, I heard a buzz of activity.

-Beep, beep.

“Patient, look here. Over here!”

“How are the lab preparations going!”

“Add 1 ampoule of lidocaine to patient #1 in zone 2……”

The busy voices of medical staff could be heard here and there.

Of course, this moment was nothing special.

The emergency room was always bustling at night like this.

Daeho headed to the nurse’s office first.

As soon as I arrived, I was a little surprised to see Nurse Lee Soo-yeon.

“You haven’t gotten off work yet?”

“I just came out to clean up. How is the patient?”

“He is in intensive care in the ICU. There were no major problems until I came down.”

“I hope the patient can overcome it, but he suffered more than that.”

When Nurse Lee Soo-yeon greeted him, Dae-ho smiled faintly.

“Thank you for your hard work, nurse.”

“You should leave work now.”

“I’d like to, but I think I’ll have to stay in the emergency room today.”

Nurse Lee Soo-yeon was slightly surprised by Dae-ho’s unexpected answer.

“It’s already past quitting time?”

“Well, I guess I’ll get overtime pay.”

“That may be true, but the patient’s vitals are……”

Nurse Lee Soo-yeon also lowered her eyes and looked bitter, knowing Han Soo-gil’s condition.

Daeho, on the other hand, smiled even more deeply and said:

“You will overcome it.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“By the way, are there any special patients?”

“I don’t know either, since I just got out.”

“Then I should check it myself.”

Swish.

Daeho picked up the tablet naturally.

Then, he started looking over the emergency patients who were currently visiting the hospital.

After a quick look, Taeho’s worries eased a little.

Fortunately, there were no emergency patients requiring immediate emergency treatment or surgery.

As Daeho was checking on the emergency patient, Yoo Gwang-gu approached him.

“When did you come down?”

“Chief. Aren’t you ready to leave work?”

“What about getting off work? I just finished going around once. I was about to go do my own thing when you came.”

Yoo Gwang-gu’s answer was blunt.

Daeho immediately understood the meaning and smiled faintly.

“Are you staying up all night at the hospital again today?”

“Why, are you a samtong?”

“Not at all. I’m rooting for you with all my heart.”

“Don’t be serious. Tell them I’m having fun!”

Yoo Gwang-gu glanced at me with a dull look.

Daeho ignored the question and asked the next question.

“By the way, have Professor Kim and Mr. Wang finished work?”

“Medical.”

Daeho was momentarily puzzled by Yoo Gwang-gu’s answer.

“Weren’t you just leaving work?”

“I need to finish my emergency surgery feeling refreshed so I can go home from work feeling good.”

“Hmm. Well. Anyway, where should I go?”

“Go to the manager’s office. Rest there or not.”

Whoosh.

As if he had finished what he had to say, Yoo Gwang-gu turned around coldly and walked away.

Daeho blinked.

“You made a bed in the manager’s office?”

It was a word whose meaning was unclear.

More surprising than that was the fact that Professor Kim Cheol-yong and Wang Jae-seong were in the medical school.

“That’s, what……”

Daeho swallowed his words and looked at the tablet again.

As he glanced around, Daeho naturally thought of someone.

‘Your name is……’

I tried to chew on Han Soo-gil’s wife’s name.

But since it was a name I had heard briefly during first aid, I couldn’t remember it right away.

“Lee, Lee Young……”

Daeho tried to piece together the names that came to mind.

At that moment, a large shadow approached behind the tiger.

Then he quietly told me the name in a low, deep voice.

“This is Youngji Lee. Mr. Richard.”

Daeho sensed the presence and turned his head in surprise.

It’s because he’s such an unexpected character.

“Detective Hwang, are you still there?”

“How can a person survive when he is on the brink of death?”

“Police work is hard.”

Detective Hwang Jae-man, whose expression was crumpled at Dae-ho’s words, spoke first.

“I don’t know what it’s like in America, but this is what we do in Korea.”

“You must have had a hard time.”

“What are we suffering for? Gosh. I’m worried about the victims who are in trouble because of that son of a bitch.”

“How did you find the culprit?”

Daeho asked with force in his eyes.

Detective Hwang Jae-man blurted out with a displeased expression.

“We are looking for him. We created a montage and put out a wanted poster, and we have also requested cooperation from surrounding police stations and district police stations.”

“Not yet.”

“At the latest, we’ll be able to locate him in a day. It looks like a random crime, and these criminals can’t run away.”

“I wish I had caught it sooner.”

Daeho tried to erase his bitterness and spoke calmly.

Detective Hwang Jae-man didn’t seem to have any intention of talking about this for too long.

He opened his notebook and asked Daeho another question.

“This is a formal investigation, but what is Han Soo-gil’s current condition?”

“Didn’t Professor Kim Cheol-yong tell you that?”

“I heard about it, but he told me to ask Mr. Richard for the details.”

“I see. First of all, how much of it have you heard?”

When Dae-ho asked in return, Detective Hwang Jae-man showed him a notebook and said.

“He said this.”

“Let’s see. Oh, here, two wounds on the patient’s abdomen are particularly problematic……”

“Yeah, hmm. This is fucking crap, yuck. And. Hmm.”

Swish swish.

Detective Hwang Jae-man, although tearful, summarized Dae-ho’s explanation in an easy-to-understand manner.

Daehodo explained it at a level that non-medical professionals can understand.

As someone involved in the case, it was important to share as many detailed facts as possible.

Soon, Detective Hwang Jae-man closed his notebook with a complicated expression and said.

“First of all, thank you for your hard work. I also ask for your continued hard work in the future.”

“Me? Where is Eunbyeol?”

“I went up to the neurology ward with my mom. My older sister came as Lee Young-ji’s guardian and is taking care of her.”

“So that’s why Ms. Lee Young-ji wasn’t on the emergency room patient list.”

Daeho said, tapping the tablet lightly.

Detective Hwang Jae-man slightly crumpled his expression and looked regretful.

“Eunbyeol must have been very distressed because she became very thin. Ugh.”

“But how did something like that happen?”

“Would a robber enter someone’s house without giving notice? Why would he send out a notice or something like that?”

“Don’t get excited.”

When Dae-ho answered bitterly, Detective Hwang Jae-man became angry and started to cry.

“This kid is a rookie. Those who have done it would never stab someone while committing robbery. The charges are different, so the sentences are different.”

“I don’t know that.”

“Yes. Don’t even try to know about this world. It’s a different world.”

“I’m not interested at all.”

Daeho nodded in agreement.
