The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 316



Only Noblemtl

Episode 316. Vice Resident (12)

My heart is pounding.

His face turned red.

An age where you know everything.

Late 20s.

It’s a meeting of adults.

So my mouth naturally dries up.

My throat is rumbling.

If only that were all, but it’s already heavy.

Aside from the inconvenience of moving, I’m also afraid of getting caught.

Just as I was about to take off my shoes.

Jinhyuk let out a shallow moan.

Because Hyunah Lee, who had closed the front door, looked up with her neck curled.

The difference between 184cm and 167cm.

The height difference was just right for them to wrap around each other’s waists.

“I’m not an easy woman. I’ve endured a lot for three years. Do you hate it?”

“… … It’s not that I don’t like it. I just think it’s too fast.”

“It’s not a body?”

“… … .”

“The speed at which we fall in love is different, right? The way we love is different. The methods are different. I’ve waited a long time. So let’s date like the kids these days.”

“What are kids like these days?”

“Shall I show you?”

Before I could even reply, Lee Hyun-ah’s lips came closer.

Soft and sweet lips.

I open my mouth without realizing it, and no thoughts come to mind.

A sweet tongue like marshmallow.

It just forces you in and leaves you unable to come to your senses.

1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes.

When he was at a loss as to where to put his hands, Lee Hyun-ah took a deep breath.

“The rent here is expensive. It’s the most expensive in Yeouido. Do you know why?”

“Because of the night view? In front of the broadcasting station? Oh, there’s a securities firm there.”

“No. It’s because it’s soundproofed well. That’s why it’s expensive.”

* * *

The first relationship I had after returning.

It was over before I could even get started.

When embarrassment, disappointment, and a sense of emptiness come over you.

Lee Hyun-ah dug into his arms.

“You know what? It’s your first time and you’re doing it for too long. That’s not good either. No, I don’t like it.”

“why?”

“I mean, it’s not attractive. It’s the first time, so I’m not excited. So I’m happy and proud… … . I think it’s the same for other women, too.”

“But it’s better to make it long.”

“Hey. What about the drinking, did you do well from the beginning? Oh, did you do well from the beginning? Well, anyway. Come here. I’ll go up this time.”

I said no.

I had to tell him I had to go to work again at dawn, but I didn’t have time to say anything.

No, I didn’t want to say it.

Because the excited moan was blocked from my mouth.

* * *

I can’t help but yawn.

I felt drained of energy.

What should I say?

It felt like I was performing surgery 24 hours straight.

okay.

When we learned that the patient’s vitals had returned after a long surgery.

A feeling of emptiness that came as the tension slowly eased engulfed my whole body.

I don’t feel like doing anything.

I wanted to sleep more.

“Haam.”

As Jinhyeok opened his mouth wide and yawned, Jeong Seong-uk, who was in charge of the free round, approached him.

“You, by any chance… … .”

“Yes, Chief.”

“You didn’t eat ramen, did you?”

“Hey, no. Then your eyes would be swollen.”

“Really? That’s weird? Your clothes are the same as yesterday. You look particularly tired. That’s really weird.”

“Well, it’s annoying. I’m going to wear a gown anyway. You know how annoying it is.”

“What do you know? Hey, Jinhyuk Lee, you really… … .”

“I brought this instead.”

Jinhyuk, who was about to ask more, quickly took out a note and shook it.

It was a note with the phone number of the youngest PD who was famous for being pretty.

Jeong Seong-wook’s face immediately brightened.

“Who is it?”

“I’m a KBS entertainment PD. I’m 25 years old. I graduated from Seo-Woon-Dae. I’m the youngest, so I’m busy. Well, the chief is busy too. It’s perfect.”

“Pictures? No pictures?”

“She’s pretty. She’s famous for being pretty, so a lot of people are hesitant. Just contact her.”

“Really? Hey, thanks. But why are there so many sad people? Jang Hyuk-jun’s girlfriend. No, your sister-in-law too. Your girlfriend too. They’re all sad people.”

“They prefer people from Seoundae. They have good butt strength.”

“okay?”

“Yes. Editing all day. Planning meetings. Adding subtitles. PDs really have a tough job. Haa.”

Jinhyeok, who was answering, yawned heavily again.

It’s nice to see the military look sharp, but the good thing about surgery is that you don’t have to do that.

In military terms, the training was rigorous, but the barracks were spacious.

Well, anyway.

Jeong Seong-wook returned home, smiling brightly.

Jinhyuk moved immediately.

The area in charge is Ward 23.

And dressing up.

I checked my vitals and mental health.

Are there any sagging patients?

Are there any patients who are jumping?

Please check again and modify the order.

The pre-round ended in an instant.

Jinhyuk returned to the station because he finished earlier than everyone else and collapsed on the desk.

An action that you have no choice but to take when you feel sleepy.

Jinhyuk, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes after the surroundings became noisy.

“Hey hey. Wake up.”

“I, the monster suddenly fell asleep… …. Senior, something must have happened yesterday.”

Seniors and juniors who look at you like monkeys at a zoo.

Jinhyuk smiled more awkwardly than ever.

“Are you all finished?”

“Oh, it’s over. But you seem a little strange? You even came wearing the same clothes… … . You look particularly tired.”

“Because it’s annoying.”

“Senior, should I just soak it? That guy, that guy. Clearly. Suspicious. He’s even lying?”

“That’s right. Dating in the sacred surgery room. Ha. It seems like discipline has become too lax these days.”

A senior with an angry face.

And the junior who grumbles and opens his mouth wide.

Jang Hyuk-jun announced that he was getting married.

He said he was off to see Park Seon-jeong’s performance with his girlfriend.

It was clear that something was amiss.

Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders as he looked at them.

The luxury of the haves.

If you look closely, you can see it.

haha.

Poor creatures.

He himself was the winner.

* * *

Jinhyuk smiled faintly.

Someone was about to shout in anger.

But then.

As any chief would do, Jeong Seong-wook showed up, loitering around.

“Okay, let’s hurry up and report. Let’s finish quickly. Are there any patients who are mentally unwell? What about the event? Today is a day when I don’t really want to get scolded. Okay?”

“Oh, yes. That’s… … .”

The question and answer continued for a long time.

Before making rounds, report everything to the chief.

There was a lot of repetition of questions and answers that allowed me to answer when the professor asked questions.

So when the pre-round ends.

“Uh, uh!”

“Lee Jin-hyuk, this kid!!”

“hey!!”

When everyone pointed at him and pointed their fingers, Jinhyuk tilted his head.

Then, too late, you realize it.

Coffee, yeah.

My nose was bleeding.

On both sides too.

Even though I underwent surgery for a long time, I was fine.

He was showing an ugly appearance.

That too in front of Mosul.

“Heh heh.”

As I couldn’t hold back the laughter that came out naturally, I burst out, and someone shouted.

“Hey, step on it!!”

* * *

Hepatobiliary and pancreaticobiliary surgery.

Gastroenterology.

Endocrine surgery.

Orthopedic surgery.

Traumatology.

etc.

There were many different types of specialties within general surgery.

During residency, you will rotate through each department and experience each specialty.

It varies from hospital to hospital, but Asin Hospital determines the department of the daughter’s specialty in the 4th year.

Applicants were only allowed to work in that department.

It runs with a system of its own.

But it’s still the third year.

I should have learned it by rotating through classes.

The problem is that professors fight like children.

“Haha. So, we should start with trauma surgery. We’re not even going to buy a helicopter.”

“No, why are we talking about helicopters? We should go to the orthopedic surgery department first. Didn’t you say you saw patient Park Seon-jeong’s performance?”

Choi Jae-won, who is like the head of the general surgery department, made the extreme choice of canceling his surgery schedule.

A situation that has become useless.

The conclusion did not come easily.

The number of surgeries has only increased.

Because each of them came forward to teach.

No, because they called me in for emergency surgery even though it wasn’t my turn on the rotation.

Even though I was so busy, there was one silver lining.

Rather than just watching like before, thinking, ‘He’s a genius, so he’ll figure it out.’

The point was to try to let you know at least one thing.

It’s been a month since I’ve continued living such a difficult life.

Jinhyeok approached Jang Hyukjun, who was standing at the station.

“It’s been hard to see you these days because of the rotation. How is it there? Oh, right. I heard you got a public housing apartment for your new home.”

“Well, I’m also aiming for reconstruction. I’m doing both.”

“Is your schedule a little looser now?”

“It seems like they took it out because they were considerate. But it also seems like they took it out because I did something wrong. I’m not sure.”

“why?”

“It’s the same as getting scolded. Well, I have to take care of my girlfriend. I have to have surgery. Anyway, I’m dying. I’m dying.”

Jang Hyuk-jun let out his characteristic moaning sound.

Jeong A-reum, who is in the early stages of pregnancy, is very sensitive.

Work doesn’t come to you until you’re older.

Each department has different characteristics.

It was sure to be a deathly experience.

When Jinhyeok, who was working in a different department, smiled faintly, Jang Hyukjun pushed the chart in.

“I came in with appendicitis a week ago. I had surgery.”

“But?”

“The fever won’t go down. The vomiting is severe. The condition is a bit like that. My vitals are completely depressed.”

“is it so?”

“Yes, my head is killing me.”

“Let me see for a moment.”

Jinhyeok immediately snatched the chart that Jang Hyukjun was holding.

The surgeon is Jang Hyuk-jun.

Since the procedure was performed under the supervision of a professor, there was no way I could have made a mistake, but you never know.

“No chills. No headache. Just severe fatigue. I think my liver function is impaired. These are typical signs of acute hepatitis… … . It all happened after the surgery. Hmm.”

“I didn’t have a fever before the surgery. I wish it was acute hepatitis.”

“hmm.”

“If it turns out to be an abdominal infection and it turns into sepsis, it’s a big deal. It’s killing me, it’s killing me.”

“There are more than one patient like this. Why are you so stressed?”

When Jinhyeok raised his head and asked without looking at the chart, Jang Hyukjun clicked his tongue.

“No, that’s right. Getting married is already a nuisance. And the patient can’t do whatever they want. It’s annoying. It was just a pressure.”

“It’s not just a slight swelling. There’s a high chance of a misdiagnosis.”

“I’ve seen enough to think that might be the case?”

“Well, it’s just like that.”

Since he fully understood what she was thinking, Jinhyuk didn’t ask any further questions.

Instead, I take another close look at the chart. Then, I start seeing numbers that I hadn’t seen before.

White blood cells, red blood cells, platelets.

All of the blood cell counts were low.

“What about the professor?”

“Let’s just wait and see. She’s 19 years old, young, and her fever pattern is not typical. Since it’s after surgery, it could be an autoimmune disease. There are a lot of suspicious findings, but nothing is certain yet.”

“It could be pancytopenia (a condition in which all blood cell counts are low). Hmm. The CBC results are really bad.”

“They say we should start by changing the antibiotics.”

Since drug-induced pancytopenia was also suspected, they suggested changing the prescribed medication.

The medications administered after surgery were not necessarily good.

Because it can cause side effects.

“Avoid beta-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycoside antibiotics?”

“Yes, Aztreonam and Levofloxacin. And I will take liver tonics as a liver protector.”

“Well, I guess we should approach it by elimination.”

“Because there are so many things to be suspicious of.”

Jang Hyuk-jun sighed again.

Jinhyuk tilted his head.

I know it’s going to be a struggle, but he was acting in a way that wasn’t like Jang Hyuk Jun.

“Why am I so empathetic? Who are you?”

“Have you seen the patient’s name yet?”

“Huh? Choi Yerin? Is this the Choi Yerin I know?”

“Yes, I told you not to tell anyone. I just felt embarrassed to see it. So I did it. Things are getting a little bigger.”

“What are you talking about…? … No, it doesn’t make sense. You said earlier that you were busy and stressed, but this is a difficult case.”

When Jinhyeok asked in a panic, Jang Hyeokjun shook his head.

“That’s true. This is true. That’s just how people feel. Anyway, the patient told me not to tell him, but I told him anyway.”

“Why? Why don’t you tell me?”

A statement made because it is not readily understood.

I even left a thank you note, but I couldn’t understand why he was avoiding me.

But soon.

“He was my lifesaver, no, he was my lifesaver. So I guess he was keeping him in my heart. Why, you even left a note at the coffee shop back then.”

“But.”

“That’s why I dreamed of becoming a doctor after becoming a college student. My parents got divorced anyway. I tried to commit suicide because neither of them would take me with them. My only hope was to become like the person who saved my life.”

“… … .”

“So I wanted to show off by becoming a doctor. But I didn’t want to see this famous doctor who is famous for being single suddenly dating. Anyway. Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know.”

It was strange to ramble on, but it was simple when I summarized it.

The one who had the surgery was Choi Ye-rin.

My condition worsened after the surgery.

All sorts of suspicious opinions were running rampant.

But she tries to avoid him.

I heard that you are dating.

The attending physician is Jang Hyuk-jun.

then.

“I heard that Mr. Jang said that I was in a relationship. By the way. What on earth happened?”

Jang Hyuk-jun was definitely the one who started it all.
