The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 350



Only Noblemtl

Episode 350. Overseas Dispatch (2)

Second departure after returning.

I had to transfer because there were no direct flights to Berlin.

That too in Frankfurt.

Of course, it was not an easy journey.

It’s not even business class.

Economy.

It wasn’t easy trying to crouch down in the narrow seat.

The airport we arrived at after a layover.

For a moment I thought it was all over.

When going through immigration inspection.

There’s a problem.

“Where are you from?”

“I’m from Korea.”

“Why did you come?”

“I came here for training abroad, but since I’m a doctor… … .”

Clearly stated purpose of visit.

Since the visa was still valid, it should have been sent right away.

Because the white people standing next to me were passing by quickly.

But.

“If you’re a doctor… … . Hmm. Can I see your license?”

“It’s in the carrier.”

“Then, please show me some ID. Something like a business card.”

“Here it is. Can I go?”

“No, what about your companion? Where is your companion?”

“yes?”

“I checked the computer and it looks like your companion also received a visa. Isn’t it a family visa?”

“I’m still in Korea.”

“Why?”

The immigration officer takes issue with Lee Hyun-ah, who decided to arrive late.

Jinhyuk frowned.

‘what?’

First impressions of Germany.

It wasn’t that great.

* * *

An interrogation that isn’t an interrogation.

I felt bad.

Westerners’ perception of Asians.

It seemed like it was just showing everything.

but.

‘Well, is it because it’s a family visa?’

I tried hard to suppress my feelings.

A doctor for whom composure is important.

I shouldn’t have gotten caught up in this kind of thing.

But.

“Why isn’t it coming out like this?”

I don’t think there will be any other motives other than family dependent visas.

Looks like they’ve all been caught.

Jinhyuk, who understood the situation at once, clicked his tongue.

Mother’s concerns.

It was becoming a reality.

Well, maybe that’s to be expected.

Racial discrimination against Asians that did not disappear in the future.

Although it spread like wildfire after Corona, Germany was a country that was particularly severe even before that.

Even Son Heung-min confessed to experiencing racial discrimination.

* * *

Only four immigrant bags per person.

Got caught by customs again.

I got completely stripped of my belongings.

I didn’t even bring any drugs.

Jang Hyuk-jun whispered as he watched them inspecting even the dust inside the bag.

“They say Germany is the easiest country to get a driver’s license in.”

“Yes.”

“Is it really that easy to get it?”

“Why? Are you afraid you’ll fall?”

“No, that’s not it. Look at this now. This is racism.”

Jang Hyuk-jun with a trembling expression.

Jinhyuk comforted him.

“Berlin is the easiest state compared to other states.”

“That’s not it. Ha.”

“… … ?”

“The FSP (Fachsprachpr fung, medical language test for obtaining a license) is also up to the supervisor. That would be a different story.”

“Just wait a minute. Not everyone is like them.”

Jinhyeok tried to appease Jang Hyukjun again.

Jang Hyuk-jun, who was already causing a ruckus by saying that he had to study while working.

He was the one who grumbled and complained that the cost-effectiveness was poor.

I never intended to live forever.

I’ll just get some training and go back.

Of course, I studied with tears in my eyes because I was told that without a medical license, I would only be able to do data analysis in the lab.

After a while like that.

Jinhyuk was able to meet a guide who came out of Plattenbau Hospital.

* * *

Marzahn.

East Berlin area.

It’s a very backward place.

I sent letters to all the hospitals in the West Berlin area, but I chose this one because I didn’t get a response.

Since we were going together anyway, we chose a hospital where we could all work together, and this is how it turned out.

“Here it is.”

Everyone raised their heads at the guide’s words.

A 7-story apartment building that is not typical of Germany.

It was shabby and dull, and its grayish color made it look gloomy.

What should I say?

Although it has been a long time since unification, it can still smell like communism.

okay.

It was a red flavor apartment.

“Let’s go first.”

A house that was checked right away.

While everyone was spreading out and packing their bags, the guide approached Jinhyeok and asked him.

“Not really? But I wrote that I was concerned.”

“No, it’s nice because it’s spacious.”

“Because it’s where party officials used to live.”

“You live in a nice place.”

“Even though it’s a good place, it’s different from the west. At least it’s a place you can get around on foot.”

“yes…….”

“But everyone is still looking forward to it. It’s been a long time since the agreement was made, but no one has come.”

“It’s our first time. And we don’t even have a license yet, so what are we expecting…?”

“No, it’s especially chaotic in CS.”

“Huh? CS?”

Jinhyuk immediately tilted his head.

An action that makes one wonder if he himself has misunderstood something.

That makes sense.

I have high expectations for CS.

There was no reason for that.

but.

“Dr. Han sent me a letter.”

“Huh? Who are you?”

“Dr. Han. Why, to the hospital you know… … .”

“Ah, Professor Han Dong-soo… … .”

“He said that since he’s a genius doctor, he can do whatever he wants with me. He even said that there’s no need to leave him in the ER. Anyway, welcome!”

When the guide laughed awkwardly, Jinhyuk also laughed awkwardly.

Reaching all the way to Germany.

At this level, it’s a demon.

No, you could call it an ant hell.

* * *

A week later.

After we finished sorting things out, we all headed to the Plattenbau hospital.

While walking and enjoying the view.

Jang Hyuk-jun called Jin-hyeok.

“Comrade Ramen.”

“… … .”

“Comrade Ramen!”

“… … After all, I told you not to call me that.”

“I ate ramen and got into trouble, how can you not call me? Oh, I see. I didn’t even eat ramen. By the way, why is there so much graffiti here?”

Graffiti that reads “We warn the Volk.”

Jinhyuk, who had been working at the ER for the past 6 months and studying like crazy, was able to interpret it well.

“We were the people.”

“I know that too. So why did you write something like that?”

“Isn’t it just a slogan?”

“What kind of slogan is this, calling me a communist… … .”

“I guess the time hasn’t come off yet.”

“What is that? A state of psychological division?”

“yes.”

“Ugh. It’s been 10 years since unification… … . I’m already sick of the scars and the pain.”

Jinhyeok laughed bitterly at Jang Hyukjun’s words.

A shameless person who doesn’t know how to be grateful even after receiving help.

Or.

A capitalist slave who shows off because he has money.

They say that West Germans and East Germans were pointing fingers at each other, but it was no different from the information I checked on the Internet.

After some time like that.

A huge hospital came into view.

Half of what you know about hospitals.

No, one-third the size.

This is small to medium sized.

No, it could be said to be a medium to large-sized hospital.

The problem is.

“Why are there no patients?”

Something feels off.

The lobby, which should have been crowded with outpatients, was also gloomy.

Compared to its size, it could be said that there were no visitors.

Just a moment of doubt.

I followed the guide and went straight to the director’s office.

first.

“Hello. My name is Jinhyuk Lee. You can call me Doctor Lee.”

“Hello. I am… … .”

A brief self-introduction followed.

The hospital director, who was shaking hands with each person one by one, said with a kind face.

“Ah. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Maximilian Kepler-Russitzky. I think you can call me Max in English. Come on, sit down. Sit down.”

A different welcome than upon entry.

Everyone sat down carefully on the old sofa.

The conversation continued while drinking coffee.

I could hear a lot of things.

First of all, it’s amazing.

“Huh? 2,300 people?”

“Oh, not our hospital. I meant all of Germany.”

“If so many people go abroad every year, there will be a shortage of doctors.”

“We’re going to places like London, Amsterdam, or Paris. The treatment is better there.”

When Max, the hospital director, laughed bitterly, everyone stuck out their tongues.

A German doctor who gets paid similarly to a cleaner.

They say there is a shortage of doctors even if we recruit ten thousand people a year.

There was a reason for that.

Well, that was also the reason why the German Medical Association supported rather than opposed the increase in the number of personnel by more than 5,000 at a time.

Everyone was amazed.

“So everyone was waiting. Didn’t they all get the board?”

Max, the hospital director, had shining eyes.

We are currently short on manpower.

It was very welcome that five people came from Korea, a country known for having the most intense training regimen in the world.

As expected of an Asian, his sleight of hand is also excellent.

When Max liked it too much, Jinhyuk immediately stepped forward.

“First of all, I don’t have a license… … .”

“Ah. Well. Well.”

“… … ?”

“It’s easy. It’s easy.”

“Since there are so few doctors, the state government has issued a directive. Well, we have to import doctors.”

“okay.”

Good news to hear.

It was a moment of relief.

* * *

dripping.

“Director, I’m going in.”

Max, the hospital director, laughed as a large, distracted man entered.

“Ah, Gian. We have guests here. Sorry to call you on my day off.”

“No, sir. I just didn’t have anything to do.”

“Oh? This is Max. I work in the emergency room, so I’ll be working with Dr. Lee.”

“I’m Lee Jin-hyeok. You can call me Doctor Lee.”

Jinhyuk jumped up and held out his hand.

Then Gian asked.

“Nice to meet you. I’m R4. How many years have you been here?”

Looks like I was suddenly called in.

Jinhyuk said with a smile, “I came back after stepping on the double board.”

“This is R1.”

“Ah, first year.”

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes, it’s me.”

The moment he heard the news, Jinhyuk seemed to have gained strength in his handshake, but he just let it be.

A gigantic figure, like those of the Germanic people.

The original strength could have been good.

hereto.

“Okay, enough greetings. Gian. Could you show me around?”

“Yes, Doctor. Where should I start?”

“I have to go around the hospital. I have to go around the wards. I have to show them everything. I have to show them around the facilities. I have to say hello to them.”

“Yes, come this way.”

Everyone greeted the hospital director and followed Gian.

There will be an adjustment period anyway.

I was planning to just check out the atmosphere and prepare for the medical language test (a test of German language skills for foreign medical license holders) that would be held soon.

but.

As soon as the door closed, Gian’s face changed.

first.

“Oh, that old lady is really. She’s calling me while I’m resting and she’s such a fucking XX.”

He spits out curses.

Of course, if it had stopped there, there wouldn’t have been a problem.

Even though they work in the emergency room, there are many doctors who live with a lot of criticism.

However.

“Ugh. The smell of garlic.”

As he grabbed his nose and made an obvious expression, the faces of Jinhyeok and his group hardened.

* * *

There is also a shortage of doctors.

A hospital with not many patients.

A West German hospital nearby.

So, you said that patients are flocking to the West Berlin area.

I was just taken aback when I heard that he was asking for my favor.

As a doctor, I never know when I might meet someone at an overseas academic conference.

Even if the immigration officer was like that, they didn’t know that the doctor who was supposed to welcome them would be like this.

first.

“What did you just say?”

“It’s nothing.”

“I think I just swore in German.”

“Oh, it just smells. But do you speak German? I only speak English.”

“Yes, I can do it. I’m thinking about getting a license too.”

When Jinhyeok answered with a stern face, Gian shrugged his shoulders.

An expression that says there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

If you understand, what are you going to do?

The expression was like this.

And at that moment.

“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard.”

Jang Hyuk-jun got angry.

In Korean too.

In addition to that.

“Give me a taste of the bitterness.”

“Yes. Let’s have a fight. Let’s not give up.”

“Lee Jin-hyuk! Fighting!”

My classmates shouted in unison.

Towards himself.

“Comrade Ramen! Let’s go!!”

Jang Hyuk-jun’s finale!

Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.

Oh, right.

I told you to stop talking about ramen.

No, by the way, how do I step on this?

It was time to tell you what Malig was.
