Doctor Choi Dae-ho Episode 229
After a while.
The operating room opened and a stretcher came out.
Grrrrr.
Chu Young-seong, who came out in front, turned his head and spoke into the operating room.
“I’ll take you to the ICU right away and report back. Everyone hurry up!”
“Yes, Chief!”
Tea ceremony.
Chu Young-seong and the surgical residents quickly guided Han Soo-gil out of the operating room.
In that empty hallway, Daeho, Associate Professor Jo Minwoo, and Hong Yuhyeon came out one after another.
Ssuk.
As the masks and surgical caps were pulled down, exhausted faces appeared.
“Whew. That’s hard.”
As Daeho spoke, Associate Professors Jo Min-woo and Hong Yu-hyeon also began to groan one after another.
“It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve had surgery all night.”
“I do it sometimes, but my shoulders feel heavy.”
“But I have to get moving. My outpatient appointment is coming up soon.”
“Right. I guess I should eat a snack before starting my outpatient treatment.”
The conversation between the two doctors became heated.
Daeho, who had been listening quietly, saw the timing and bowed his head deeply.
Bow.
“Thank you for rushing to me despite the sudden call, and I was able to have a successful surgery. Thank you.”
It was a heartfelt and sincere greeting.
But the voices that came back were not very serious.
“I told you, I came here to settle my debt.”
“I’m in the same position.”
At the refreshing sound, Daeho raised his head.
Associate Professor Jo Min-woo and Hong Yu-hyeon had mischievous smiles on their faces.
Seeing that smile, Daeho also smiled.
“I understand. Now we don’t owe each other anything.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Then we should move first.”
Thud thud.
Associate Professor Jo Min-woo and Hong Yu-hyeon drifted apart like the world was cool.
Daeho looked at her back for a moment.
“I feel like our relationship will last a long time.”
He blurted out something completely out of the blue.
It seemed that only Daeho knew the inside story.
Then, the tiger headed straight to the operating room.
I had to take a shower and change out of my blood-covered scrubs.
“Okay, let’s go for now.”
Ugh.
Daeho dragged his screaming body to the surgical preparation room.
10 minutes later.
Daeho came out of the operating room looking neat and tidy.
He wasn’t alone, Kang Jin-soo was with him.
Kang Jin-su said with a blank expression.
“Ouch, this is hard.”
“It’s this hard.”
Daeho scolded him without making him feel bad.
That was when.
Seo Ju-ran suddenly appeared next to Dae-ho.
Although he looked neat, his eyes were sunken and his face looked tired.
“Ahhh, Senior Richard. I’m dying.”
Slap.
Seo Ju-ran clung to Dae-ho without warning.
At that moment, Kang Jin-su also quickly leaned on the other shoulder.
“Ouch, my legs too, ugh.”
So the two doctors immediately clung to Daeho.
In that moment, Daeho’s brow furrowed and he growled.
“Where are these guys expecting to be?”
“Can’t you even lend a shoulder to support your juniors who have worked so hard?”
“Yeah. I’m having a hard time too.”
Whirlwind.
Daeho shook his shoulder and pushed the residents away.
Seo Ju-ran and Kang Jin-su were unable to prepare for that cold movement and fell to the floor.
“Oh my, the senior is hitting the junior.”
“Ahhh. People are dying here. Doctor, doctor!”
The residents who had fallen were groaning and screaming.
That’s because there was no one in the hallway.
And it was also an action that subtly appealed to the fact that it helped in this surgery.
It wasn’t completely far-fetched.
After a long surgery, both of my legs would be shaking.
It was something that Daeho also acknowledged, but he was not the type of person to fall for such tricks.
“Lie down there and rest for a bit and then come back.”
The tiger left really cruelly.
So, the tiger gradually moved away.
It was a cold back view that seemed like it would never be seen again.
Seo Ju-ran and Kang Jin-su also faced reality.
“Jinsoo, you’re really leaving us behind.”
“This isn’t the kind of senior who would accept something like this.”
“What should we do?”
“What are you going to do? I have to get up and go after him. Ugh.”
Seo Ju-ran and Kang Jin-su, who felt embarrassed for a moment, tried to get up from their seats and chased after them.
“Let’s go together, people need to have loyalty!”
“You shouldn’t go like that alone.”
Ta-da-dak.
The residents who were hurriedly chasing after the tiger were spitting out complaints.
Daeho smiled brightly at the voices of the residents chirping like chicks.
“Huh. Those guys.”
I didn’t hate the feeling of getting closer every time we overcame a difficult situation together.
The three doctors soon arrived at the entrance to the operating room.
Squeak.
As I opened the door and came out, sunlight poured in through the large window.
Daeho, Seo Juran, and Kang Jinsu smiled brightly under the pouring sunlight.
“Ah, good!”
I was proud that I could overcome the deep darkness and face the sunlight with confidence.
* * *
Back door of the emergency room.
Squeak.
The door opened and Daeho, Seo Juran, and Kang Jinsu came in.
The interior of the emergency room had a quiet atmosphere.
It was thanks to the emergency patients who had been observed overnight that they were admitted or discharged in the morning.
Daeho looked around with a satisfied expression and said.
“There should be quiet days like this.”
“Anyway, I should get ready for work now.”
“Is there anything I need to prepare? I can just work like this.”
Following Seo Ju-ran, Kang Jin-su spoke.
The three people were dressed in neat surgical gowns.
In a word, it is work uniform.
There was nothing strange about being sent to work like this.
No, it was time for that.
Daeho took the lead and set the direction first.
“Let’s go to the nurse’s office.”
Seo Ju-ran and Kang Jin-su also followed, trying hard to gather their strength.
“Yes, I will. It was my fault for not resting after work.”
“That’s why I can’t even say, ‘Guarantee me some rest time.’”
The muttering every now and then was a bonus.
Before I knew it, I could see the nurse’s office in the distance.
But there were several doctors in white coats standing around.
Daeho, who was looking at them with his narrowed eyes, tilted his head.
“Why are you all there, Manager?”
“Are you going to the conference?”
“It’s been a while. Maybe he’s getting ready for rounds.”
My curiosity grew as I added more words.
It was at that moment that I approached.
When Yoo Gwang-gu discovered Dae-ho and his group, he quickly reported it to Manager Lee Geon-taek.
“Manager, here he comes.”
“hmm.”
Swish.
Manager Lee Geon-taek turned towards Dae-ho and his group, his voice low and grave.
That wasn’t all.
Oh my!
From Professor Kim Chul-yong to the interns.
All the doctors present turned towards Daeho and his group.
It was an unfamiliar behavior that I had never experienced before.
The tiger, who had come a little closer, looked around at everyone and asked.
“Why are you all here?”
It was at the same time as that question.
Manager Lee Geon-taek said with a bright smile on his face.
“clap.”
Clap clap clap.
Everyone clapped their hands at the same time and gave words of welcome.
“You guys have worked hard.”
“Mr. Richard, you have a lot to say.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Seo and Mr. Kang.”
Everyone smiled and showered us with congratulations.
However, Daeho, Seo Juran, and Kang Jinsu were actually embarrassed.
“Why are you suddenly attacking me with congratulations?”
Daeho opened his mouth with a bewildered expression.
Manager Lee Geon-taek personally explained the reason.
“Patient Han Soo-gil’s surgery went well. You worked hard all night.”
“I heard you were in really bad shape, but I’m glad you got through it safely.”
Professor Kim Cheol-yong added his praise with a proud expression.
Only then did Daeho understand the situation.
“Oh, it’s already been announced?”
“If you tell me the news from the hospital, I’ll tell you the news.”
Wang Jae-seong answered with a happy smile.
However, Daeho, Seo Juran, and Kang Jinsu were still a bit bewildered.
Daeho opened his mouth to speak on behalf of the group.
“But it feels a bit awkward when you welcome me like this.”
“What are you talking about? If something is done well, isn’t it natural to praise it?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s what you’re doing. What’s the problem?”
Manager Lee Geon-taek asked a question instead.
Daeho blinked his eyes and then shook his head.
“No, there is no problem.”
“I guess I’m just tired. No, I guess I’m tired. I had emergency surgery during the day and then another surgery all night, so it’s understandable that I’d be tired.”
“Yes, I’m so tired it feels like a dream.”
The tiger’s face as he answered was truly hazy.
I was filled with embarrassment at not being able to adapt to this welcoming atmosphere.
Manager Lee Geon-taek said with a hearty smile.
“If you’re that tired, shouldn’t you just go home now, Chief?”
“Yes, sir. Richard, Seo Ju-ran, and Kang Jin-soo have changed their work schedule to off-duty today.”
Yoo Gwang-gu stepped forward and reported.
Manager Lee Geon-taek smiled even brighter, perhaps because he was satisfied with the content.
“Now that that’s done, the three of you can leave work now.”
“Okay. You’ve worked hard. Go inside and get some rest.”
When Professor Kim Cheol-yong added, Wang Jae-seong chimed in.
“Come on, move first. Don’t worry about us.”
“What are the interns doing? I have to guide them.”
“No, the residents will do it.”
Everyone came out with bright faces and urged people to leave work.
I was so overwhelmed by the hospitality that I almost lost my mind.
At that moment, Daeho came to his senses.
It’s not like I can just get pushed out and leave work like this.
There are still some unfinished business.
“Wait a minute, everyone!”
“Huh? Why is that?”
Manager Lee Geon-taek asked with a puzzled look.
Daeho raised both hands and spoke to calm everyone down.
“I can’t leave work yet.”
“What are you talking about? Why?”
“I came down to take a short rest. Since it was just after surgery, I don’t know how quickly the patient’s condition could change.”
“That may be true, but isn’t it still the time when everyone goes to work?”
Director Lee Geon-taek said this to mean that other doctors can be trusted.
However, Daeho’s opinion was a little different.
“But this is someone I operated on with my own hands. I think it would be right to wait about an hour, check his vitals, and then go home.”
“I think Dr. Richard’s judgment is correct. He has performed many surgeries.”
“It’s not that it’s necessarily right, it’s just my greed.”
“That kind of greed is good. It’s a very good greed. But there won’t be a proper place to rest.”
Manager Lee Geon-taek calmly changed the subject and tried to provide a place to rest.
The emergency room does not yet have an on-call room.
It was at that time that Manager Lee Geon-taek was worried.
Among the doctors, Associate Professor Cho Ha-young raised her hand and stepped forward.
“Sir, I was on duty yesterday.”
“Oh, right.”
“So, Mr. Richard, how about you rest in my room?”
Swish.
Associate Professor Cho Ha-young’s gaze naturally turned to Dae-ho.
There was no reason for Daho to refuse.
“Thank you for your understanding, Associate Professor. Excuse me.”
“What’s the matter with you? But if you want to repay my favor, I’ll ask you to take good care of me when we work together in the future.”
“yes?”
“I’m joking. Take it easy.”
Associate Professor Cho Ha-young quickly changed his words.
But what he said earlier seemed more sincere.
