Episode 326. Giving orders (8)

Yu Yeon-jae frowned as soon as she hung up the phone.

“You also had a calcium test.”

“Yes, I don’t know what the problem is.”

“hmm.”

“What should I do? My calcium level is skyrocketing. Should I do something about it?”

“Well, that’s true.”

A reluctant answer.

Jinhyuk immediately turned on his cell phone.

This is to call the nurse in charge of the ward at the station.

“Doctor, I feel a little bad about leaving. Patient Jeong Byeong-tae. Please give him 60 mg of pamidronate. Yes, right now.”

A drug to lower calcium levels.

A nurse who arrived late connected the IV line with medicine.

The nurse, who had been tilting her head, not knowing what the situation was, went out of the hospital room.

Yu Yeon-jae muttered while checking the chart.

“I was also taking zoledronic acid (a bisphosphonate drug) and calcitonin.”

“Yes, I was also taking loop diuretics.”

“But you reduced the capacity. You reduced it since this morning. Why did you reduce it? Was it the professor’s order?”

I was taking medication to regulate my calcium levels.

Why did you reduce the capacity?

Jinhyuk immediately shook his head.

“I did it on my own. I’m the attending physician.”

“This teacher shortened it?”

“Yes. Calcium levels. They’ve been stable since last night.”

“But you should have watched. It’s because you reduced the capacity so carelessly that it’s now gone off again. Am I wrong?”

The act of trying to find fault with anything.

It’s mind-blowing.

It’s so stuffy that it’s making my nose clog up.

That makes sense. It’s only natural to reduce the dose depending on the patient’s reaction.

‘Well, the show and probe is over. Let’s just talk about the opponent. Let’s talk about the opponent.’

Jinhyeok turned his head away, ignoring Yu Yeonjae.

“Patient, I have been taking medication for hyperparathyroidism. As you know, my calcium levels are not being regulated.”

“yes yes.”

“I reduced the dose, but the levels went up again. That’s why I think I have a fever. There are cases where a fever occurs when calcium levels go up.”

“Then, it’s not an allergy?”

“Yes, maybe.”

“Can I have surgery? What is it? I’m having my parathyroid removed tomorrow.”

“First, we need to see if the fever goes down… … .”

The explanation went on for a long time.

He concluded by saying that he would push ahead with the surgery if possible.

If things go as expected, the fever will go down.

In the first place, I had hypercalcemia because my parathyroid glands were not functioning properly.

Jinhyuk, who now thought the situation was over, looked around the room.

The trainees who are still watching themselves.

Since Yuyeonjae had been scolded enough, she had something to show him.

“It’s common practice to adjust the dosage after checking the numbers. I apologize though.”

Jinhyuk bowed as he apologized.

* * *

Yu Yeonjae’s face immediately turned red.

I was apologizing to the patient, but in his eyes it looked like a declaration.

Don’t pick a fight over nothing.

This happens a lot.

It felt like he was talking to himself.

‘You’re giving me candy in exchange for an apple? Huh?’

While Yu Yeon-jae’s face turned red.

The patient also waved his hands in confusion.

“Now that the fever has gone down, it’s not difficult.”

“That’s because of the fever reducer. We just have to wait and see.”

“But you still can’t apologize.”

“yes?”

“Teacher. I’ve only worked for 30 years. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s not easy to say things like that.”

“Because of responsibility?”

“Yes, those guys who blame others when something goes wrong. They’re tough and mean. So don’t apologize so easily.”

Looks like something happened.

Jinhyuk, who had been shaking his head, smiled brightly.

Either way, he’s cheering himself on.

“It’s not like you lose by apologizing. And I don’t know about office workers, but doctors shouldn’t do that.”

“why?”

“Because I’m a doctor. I don’t deal with money. I deal with lives.”

“ah…….”

“You have to work with more responsibility than anyone else. Oh, of course, there are many people who don’t do that.”

I say this because there are actually many doctors like that.

Of course, this wasn’t meant to refer to the flexible material.

Rather, it is no different from what the trainees were told to hear.

But maybe it’s because I was grumbling a little while ago.

Yu Yeon-jae blushed and intervened.

“What are you really doing right now!”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you talking to me? Don’t pick a fight over nothing. This kind of thing happens often. Well, isn’t that what you meant?”

“That wasn’t my intention.”

“No?”

“Yes. I just wanted to let the trainees know.”

Because the surgeon also showed that he had knowledge of internal medicine.

I want to stop dealing with Yoo Yeon-jae now.

Jinhyuk’s voice was extremely dry.

“Attitude towards patients. Attitude towards responsibility. Isn’t it time to see and learn everything? That’s why it’s like that.”

“That sounds like a lie.”

“You’re saying that’s a lie?”

“yes.”

It was a really tiring style, as if someone might say I wasn’t an internist.

* * *

At that moment, Seo Yu-jeong suddenly got up and shouted.

“What!? Really? You’re really fighting!?”

“Oh my, this kid. I saw it myself.”

“… … !”

“Why, you know. Patient Jeong Byeong-tae. He came in for a parathyroidectomy. He complained of severe heartburn.”

“I am a patient who missed the antacid… … .”

“That’s not why. Anyway, five people came from the internal medicine department. Oh my, where is this kid going? Where are you going?”

Seo Yu-jeong, who returned to the hospital for filming, started running.

‘It just so happens to be at the end of the hallway. Maybe it’s because of me.’

“Sorry! Just a moment!!”

As she ran away screaming for a while, VJ noticed her and chased after her, shouting.

“Where are you going?”

“Because Teacher Lee Jin-hyeok said he was fighting.”

“yes?”

Kim Seok-dae’s steps, which were chasing Seo Yu-jeong, slowed down.

It’s been a long time since I worked with Lee Jin-hyuk as his dedicated VJ.

Even if you call it a fight, it’s just a quarrel of words.

It didn’t seem like it would work.

but.

“It’s 5:1!”

“yes?”

“Five people came from the internal medicine department!”

“ah…….”

Kim Seok-dae also immediately fixed his camera.

Jinhyuk Lee, who is not on good terms with the internal medicine department.

It was something that could have happened.

The hospital room we arrived at not long after.

Kim Seok-dae reacted before Seo Yu-jeong.

“Is that them? Should I kill them all?”

Kim Seok-dae is famous for his fierce appearance.

Jinhyeok, who was tired of Yoo Yeonjae, nodded his head right away.

“Would you do that?”

* * *

Even if you do it in the future, it’s just trash.

Even if you leave it behind, it’s just trash.

Those working in the media were mostly similar.

Just like a newspaper reporter wields his pen like a sword.

The broadcasting industry also wields cameras like swords.

So, it goes without saying that Yu Yeon-jae was kicked out right away.

A situation that ended easily.

After greeting the patients, Jinhyuk looked around at the abandoned trainees.

“Do you have a minute? Follow me.”

* * *

Basement restaurant area.

While eating ice cream, Jinhyuk checked his watch.

‘I only have 30 minutes. What, should I just skip lunch?’

“Do you all have nothing to say? Especially you, Park Hyuk-soo.”

“I’m sorry. I did this because I was told to do so by someone above.”

Park Hyuk-soo apologizes obediently.

Jinhyuk’s face immediately cleared.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Internal medicine is usually like that.”

“yes?”

“Haven’t you heard about the internal medicine department? It’s really tough there. The military discipline is strict. If you use one wrong drug, it’s a medical accident. It’s really bad.”

“ah.”

“If you go into internal medicine, you’ll have a hard time. The work is hard. The people are hard. It’s just too hard.”

The scaremongering continued for a long time.

Actually, this shouldn’t have happened.

It was something that did not suit his own reputation as he had served as the head of the thoracic surgery department at Seosin University.

But it’s not a situation where you can brag about going to the surgical department.

So, I had no choice but to belittle my opponent.

“Then what’s good about it? Our mandatory training system starts next year. Now I can’t run away in the middle.”

“The surgical department is good, but if I had to pick just one, hmm. CS seems to be the best.”

“Yes? Why? Everyone said it was hard.”

These days, trainees speak their minds like kids do.

Jinhyuk was immediately speechless.

I did recommend CS, but I really had nothing to say about it.

Can’t we boast about the catchphrase, “Juniors are the sky and seniors are the earth?”

It was a bit embarrassing.

Jinhyuk’s eyes widened.

“There is someone here who can explain this to you. Professor!!”

* * *

The opponent is Han Dong-soo, an associate professor.

As soon as he revealed his identity, the trainees immediately froze.

I had to sow the seeds and hope for a harvest later, but it turned out to be neither porridge nor rice.

Han Dong-soo, who was still suffering from inadequacy, hit Jin-hyeok in the side.

“Son.”

“yes.”

“Just try something.”

“Oh, that’s it.”

“Why? What, nothing?”

“Hmm. The kids are all listening.”

“What is that? Hey. This is all competition. You have to take the lead. Take the lead. This is the era of self-PR.”

Han Dong-soo is still fighting an illness.

Jinhyuk, who had been answering obediently to please him, began to think hard for a while.

What should I do?

How can we get at least one more person into the surgical department?

Jinhyuk smiled faintly as a good idea came to him belatedly.

“There’s still some time left until your next surgery. I’ll give you a case-based learning (PBL) assignment. It’s something that will give you a good idea of ​​what we do in internal medicine.”

“Huh? It’s internal medicine, not surgery?”

“Oh, I only saw adults fighting. Give me a problem.”

“yes yes.”

After looking at the trainee with a puzzled expression.

Jinhyuk recalled the case that was in his mind.

‘Because the patient came to CS because the situation got worse because they couldn’t find an answer in the internal medicine department. Well.’

“36-year-old woman. Ever since I was little, I’ve had an allergic reaction to peaches whenever I touched them. There was no problem eating them. But when I touched the peel, my skin started to itch.”

“Is it okay if I guess the diagnosis?”

“Oh, if you get it right, you get full marks.”

“Jin, really?”

“Right, Professor?”

“Okay, okay.”

When even Han Dong-soo nodded, the trainees’ eyes lit up.

“I’ll continue. I first started having symptoms when I was 25 after eating a peach. I had a rash all over my body. Itching. Headache. I had trouble breathing.”

“You’re having anaphylaxis.”

“uh.”

Jinhyeok gave a short answer and looked at the trainees’ expressions.

They looked at each other and smiled, seeming confused.

An allergic reaction that occurred when only the skin was touched.

After becoming an adult.

It was perhaps natural, since it had spread to eating habits at the ripe old age of 25.

‘You might be confusing it with the sensitization I mentioned about patient Jeong Byeong-tae.’

“Plums, peaches, tomatoes, apples. Same symptoms. I stopped eating them all.”

“Is there no underlying disease?”

“Oh, I don’t drink. I don’t have diabetes. I’m healthy. Oh, there’s something special.”

“What is that?”

“If you exercise too hard, anaphylaxis symptoms will recur.”

“If it’s exercise… … .”

“Well, the type doesn’t matter.”

The trainees look at each other’s expressions again.

As Jinhyuk quietly crossed his arms, someone spoke.

“Isn’t that EIA (exercise-induced asthma)?”

“Hey, EIA only causes dyspnea (shortness of breath).”

“Rash, itching, low blood pressure, digestive symptoms. Loss of consciousness. It’s all the same.”

“You’re bringing that up as an issue now?”

“So, what else is there besides EIA?”

These are people who talk for a long time while keeping an eye on others.

One of them asked.

“Did you eat anything before working out?”

“I ate nuts. Why? Peanuts. Walnuts. Almonds. Like that. Whole ones.”

“hmm.”

“Then, not long ago, he was brought to the hospital again. This time, it was because of raw fish. He collapsed after eating a mixed raw fish dish at Garak Market. So, what could it be?”

“So, you’re saying that if I work in internal medicine, I have to get things like this right?”

“uh.”

Children who don’t know anything yet.

Jinhyuk, who was worried that his true feelings would be revealed, nodded with an innocent expression.

* * *

It was clear that he was asking about allergies.

But it wasn’t easy to answer.

The world’s best, Lee Jin-hyeok.

Because he couldn’t have raised such a simple question.

‘Plums, peaches, tomatoes, apples, assorted sashimi. Peanuts, walnuts, almonds. Intense exercise. What the heck? What kind of connection does it have?’

When everyone is grumbling inside.

Han Dong-soo, who had been listening to Jin-hyeok’s story for a while, asked.

“What? What is it?”
