The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 369

Episode 369. Decided to Live Quietly (1)

“Guardian, we really don’t have time anymore.”

“But I’ll think about it some more.”

“Then come back in the afternoon.”

“yes?”

“I will connect you with a professor at our headquarters.”

Everyone flinched in surprise at Jinhyeok’s words.

A professor I can only meet after returning to my country.

It had to be that way, since they were talking about connecting me with an obstetrics and gynecology professor from one of the Big 5.

Jinhyuk emphasized again, looking at the young couple with expressions of disbelief.

“You’ve been going to German hospitals all this time, right? It would be helpful if you could talk to a Korean professor directly.”

“Thank you, sir. Thank you very, very much, sir.”

The man who was to become her husband continued to bow down.

At first glance, it looks like there is no podium.

He was one of the main culprits who dragged it on and on, unable to do anything.

But I didn’t think anyone had the right to curse.

What is this?

okay.

It wasn’t just at the level of a mere radish.

Zhuge Liang also cherished Ma Su, but they were not blood relatives.

Even Masok, who was defeated at home, ran away because he didn’t want to take responsibility, but was caught.

In the first place, it is not a story that can be glorified under the name of Eopchammasok.

So the decision they have to make is.

It would be comparable to the pain of digging out my eyes with my arms, no, my hands.

There was a reason why I couldn’t make a decision and just kept going around hospitals like I was shopping.

* * *

Early morning in Korea time.

So they decided to come back in the evening.

As soon as Jinhyuk returned to the station, Yanne Hooper asked.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

The explanation went on for a long time.

Janne Hooper only lets out shallow slurring.

There was no particular reaction.

A different reaction from other Korean nurses.

It’s normal to make a fuss or shed tears, saying that the situation is dire.

It was as cold as ice.

On the contrary.

“Don’t interfere too much.”

“yes?”

“We must respect the patient’s right to choose.”

“Still, this is.”

“This is not possible because of this. That is not possible because of that. If you keep doing this, there will be no end to it. You will only end up hearing complaints later.”

“All I hear is complaints… … .”

Jinhyuk, whose words were trailing off, began to chew on her words.

okay.

Maybe it could be so.

When things go wrong, you’ll find someone to blame.

There is no mistake that humans make more often than blaming others and shifting guilt.

Because you’ll feel much more at ease.

but.

“If we continue like this, we might run out of options.”

“Still, we have to wait for the patient and guardian’s judgment.”

“No. It’s cruel, but that’s what a doctor does.”

“… … That’s a phrase that would be difficult to use in Germany.”

“Well, I don’t think Germany is the only country that is considered good because patients can even choose the direction of the incision.”

Jinhyuk answered with a bitter smile.

Even though we’ve been working together for quite some time, cultural differences are unavoidable.

Well, that wasn’t important right now.

I had to move quickly.

‘First, I need to find the professor, and then I need to arrange a schedule that avoids outpatient clinic and surgery times… ‘

In order to get hired, we had no choice but to ask Professor Han Dong-soo.

Jinhyuk glanced at the wall clock and immediately took out his cell phone.

Click.

“Yes, professor. I am Jinhyeok.”

[Oh, why? Are you talking about the patient again? Oh, hey. Professor Jang!]

“professor?”

[Dr. Lee Jin-hyeok? I’m Jang Seong-man from the dermatology department!]

“Ah… … . Hello, Professor.”

[Oh my! Hey! Jang Seong-man!]

Dduk.

The phone call ended with a grumbling sound.

Jinhyuk tilted his head, not knowing English.

Professor Jang Seong-man of dermatology.

He was so angry that he even snatched Han Dong-soo’s cell phone, which he was talking on.

Why?

why?

I called again, not knowing why, but Han Dong-soo’s phone was turned off.

* * *

Looks like something is going on.

Jinhyuk looked around while waiting for a return call.

‘There’s nothing urgent right now. For now… … .’

Jinhyeok quickly moved to the computer and logged into PubMed.

Knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology is shallow.

I wonder if there is anything he is missing.

I had to first check if there really was no way.

Cases confirmed like that.

Photos inserted into the case study.

So, it didn’t bother me to see a child whose skull was crushed and whose eyes bulged out like a frog’s.

A more hideous picture than this.

I’ve seen it countless times.

Even the real thing.

but.

‘There really is no way.’

The problem was that, as expected, it was as expected.

There was no treatment.

Just a legacy.

Or, they had no choice but to watch their children die immediately after birth.

What I found out additionally is that.

‘You cover the child’s mouth so they can’t hear you crying. Or you turn up the music loudly?’

That they are caring for mothers in different ways.

It was a desperate measure, as the howling was as bizarre as that of an animal.

The next thing we checked was the selective abortion targeting multiple fetuses.

I spent a lot of time digging to see if it was true that normal fetuses also have a 20% chance of being miscarried.

Case reports from the United States, India, Europe, and Asia.

Identify the gestational sac that will be miscarried.

After inserting the needle.

Injecting KCl (calcium chloride).

And it was almost the same as checking for cardiac arrest and checking for amniotic fluid outflow.

There was no special method or anything and it wasn’t much different.

But the conclusion is.

“under…….”

It could be said to be the worst.

The problem was not that the later it was delayed, the higher the miscarriage rate of normal fetuses.

There were many cases where the surgery itself was refused in the first place.

Because it is dangerous even for the mother.

It was caused by an attitude of not wanting to get involved in a needless medical accident.

* * *

If they weren’t twins in the first place, this wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

But now was not the time to discuss such things.

[Your phone is turned off… … .]

“What’s really going on?”

Time passed, but there was no return call.

The cell phone is still turned off.

I thought I had entered the operating room, but the angry voice of Jang Seong-man who had barged in was bothering me.

In the end, Jinhyeok’s choice was Jang Hyukjun.

Click.

“Can I speak to you briefly? I’m here to talk to a patient who is scheduled for surgery for anencephaly. So… … .”

The explanation went on for a long time.

Jang Hyuk-jun was embarrassed after hearing the circumstances.

[There is no professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with whom I am as close as he is.]

“But I’m sure there’s someone who knows.”

[That’s true, but we’re not that close. But I’ll give it a try anyway.]

“Then I have a favor to ask.”

Dduk.

A voice that somehow lacks confidence.

Still, I thought it was enough that I tried.

This time I called Kim Hyun-soo.

Students from other schools and other local schools.

The original power that only they possess.

So, it was a call made with the belief in the strong network that only students of the private school have.

Before I knew it, I had even called Choi Jae-seong.

Not long after, I received a call from Kim Hyun-soo.

Click.

“What happened?”

[Oh, that. I think it’ll be hard to get hired. Have you heard anything about that?]

“What are you talking about?”

[The story goes that Professor Jang Seong-man of the Department of Dermatology went to the Department of Thoracic Surgery and caused a ruckus.]

“Oh, I was already on the phone with a professor… … .”

The call went on for a long time.

Jinhyeok looked dejected after hearing the news.

* * *

Silver addiction.

Strictly speaking, I didn’t just go to a dermatologist.

Depending on the symptoms, the principle was to primarily care for patients in respiratory medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, and nephrology departments.

Since the discoloration of the skin was more of a result of poisoning, dermatology was involved.

But the reason I handed the data over to the dermatologist was because they had a reason to act.

However, the efforts to refresh the image and prevent further damage were spread out in an inappropriate manner.

[Lee Jin-hyeok, the hospital you know! Save patients in Germany too!]

[Silver ion water is mistakenly known as a panacea! If you are not careful, you could end up like a smurf!]

[Good news from Germany! Jinhyuk Lee’s performance at Asin Hospital!]

[Did Lee Jin-hyeok, who led the opening of the skin care market, reconcile with the dermatologists?]

[Professor Jang Seong-man of Asin Hospital! Appear on TV and personally reveal the side effects!]

News that came up just a few hours ago.

So, the news from the evening newspaper was plastered all over the portal.

‘If this is the case, it would be like Professor Han is not repaying Professor Jang’s favor. Ha, how would the reporters know?’

As a result, it was clear that Jang Seong-man was furious when he realized that he was being moved according to his own will, which led to the opening of the skin care market.

so.

“I, I asked you not to write the article.”

Guardian of a patient who visited the hospital after drinking silver ion water.

So, the phone call with a reporter from a famous German daily newspaper naturally flowed stiffly.

The problem is.

[Yes? Teacher, what do you mean?]

“I think you, the reporter, would know better.”

[Yes? I really don’t know what you’re talking about.]

“Ha… … . The professor who helped me asked me not to do it because it might cause trouble, but this has already been made into an article in Korea.”

[Not me, sir. I also know grace.]

“Really? Then why is this… … .”

[Just a moment, just a moment. I’ll look into the situation and get back to you.]

The call was immediately hung up.

The return call came shortly thereafter.

The culprit is not himself.

One of the church members wrote in the Berlin Report.

It was the reporter’s misdeed of copying a popular post on the community.

So Jinhyuk let out a long sigh.

I had originally decided to live quietly, but things went wrong and I kept running without thinking about what would happen next.

Even Han Dong-soo, who had always helped him, ended up in trouble because of him.

For the first time, I had to feel regret, not regret.

* * *

It was an hour later that I was able to contact Han Dong-soo.

He didn’t seem to care at all.

I wasn’t the type of person to care about things like that in the first place.

Rather, he only asked about the safety of ‘CS’.

“How’s the child? How’s parenting? How’s it? Is it hard?”

“I’m sorry, Professor, because of me.”

“Okay. Well, I’ll repay the favor. I’ll also improve the image of the dermatology department. I’ll also prevent harm to patients. I think it’s all for good reasons. But why? What else?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

The call went on for a long time.

The recruitment of an obstetrics and gynecology professor went smoothly.

This is the power of an associate professor with guaranteed tenure.

No, it was the power of networking that came from being in one hospital for decades.

Still, I’m sorry, it’s a sorry situation.

so.

“For the time being, I’m going to live really quietly, as if I’m dead.”

All I could do was make this promise.

Of course, Han Dong-soo’s answer was lukewarm.

“Okay, okay. My name was ‘CS’ too! Hey! This is nothing special!”

* * *

Conference call.

It was a video conference using Cisco equipment.

The professor’s voice on the screen was, of course, quick.

[Nothing is 100% safe. It’s already too late.]

“So you’re saying that even normal fetuses should be prepared to have a miscarriage?”

[That’s true, but um.]

“Professor, if there’s a way, please tell me. We’re having a really hard time. Sob.”

A young couple shedding tears.

The obstetrician and gynecologist on the screen was silent for a while.

But there is no surgery that can be 100% guaranteed.

If both were lost, the psychological distress the patient would have to endure would be enormous.

honey.

[It’s been too long. It would be better to have a child.]

“That, that.”

[Yes, I know. It’s a difficult decision. You may have to register a birth and a death at the same time. But it’s not necessarily a waste of time.]

“yes?”

[Do you have a nickname?]

“Their names are Su-ah and Jun-soo. They are meant to live while relying on each other. We even considered the Chinese characters. We named them with names that they would actually use.”

[Which side is the sick child?]

“That, that is… … .”

The young couple couldn’t answer, as if they hadn’t thought about it that far.

I just blush and hold back my tears.

I just cried silently.

The obstetrics and gynecology professor on the screen defined it.

[Let’s call him Junsu. He will probably die as soon as he is born. But that is not the end. Hepatocytes can be donated to patients in need of liver transplantation, saving another life.]

“ah…….”

[Heart valves and kidneys can be donated. Other organs can also be donated. It means that other sick children and children who are dying can be saved.]

His explanation went on for a long time.

It’s not necessarily a vain death.

Even if you die, you’re not dead.

So, there has been talk for a long time that the organs of children who have received organ donations will live forever.

If we were to transplant liver cells into a newborn baby diagnosed with CPSD (carbamoyl phosphate synthase deficiency) right away,

It even went so far as to say that it could save another life.

Central nervous system damage due to congenital metabolic disorders.

And that it can prevent death.

The young couple were silent for a while.

Then they asked.

“In our case, is it common for newborn babies to donate their organs after they die?”

[There are many. Everyone wants to be someone’s child and live their life. They want to continue living their life.]

The obstetrician and gynecologist’s speech continued for a long time again.

It’s not just children, either.

In the case of brain-dead donation, everyone said that they donate with that kind of heart.

I hope you continue to live as someone’s heart.

I wish to be someone’s eyes and see the cherry blossoms blooming and falling in spring.

It was said for a long time that the family of a brain-dead person wants to live with the recipient who received the organ from someone else’s body.

hereto.

“Teacher, we… We’ll just have the baby. That’s right. No, so… … . Sigh.”

The young couple who had made up their minds shuddered slightly.

I decided to return to Korea.

As an expression of the desire for both of us to live.

It was a decision that I couldn’t look at without tears.

* * *

After two weeks.

Potsdam near Berlin.

I left my child with my parents and went out for the first time in a long time.

“Good. Good. Really good.”

“Senior, do you like it that much?”

“Well, you know too. Raising children is hard.”

“Well. But I don’t have anyone to leave it to.”

Lee Hyun-ah and Jeong A-reum’s chat.

Jinhyuk carried the luggage.

Jang Hyuk-jun was wearing a baby carrier.

Of course, Jinhyuk was working hard at that moment.

The person he is talking about is Jang Hyuk-jun.

But it was also similar to talking to a monologue.

“I’m going to live quietly now.”

“That would be difficult.”

“No. This time it’s real.”

“It was like that when I was an intern too… … .”

“Oh my, I guess I’ll just live quietly for a while.”

“I told you it’s impossible.”

“why?”

“It’s almost fantasy. Fantasy. A doctor carrying a patient. In Germany, they’re carrying patients right now.”

“Oh, no.”

Jinhyuk continued to make promises that would not come true.

I’m saying this because I caused harm to Han Dong-soo.

It was a pledge to Oh Ji-ho, who had sent himself overseas, saying that he had to avoid the rain.

And we ate such delicious food for a long time.

And enjoy the scenery.

We enjoyed our trip while having small talk.

I feel healed.

It was nice just to look at the scenery.

But soon.

“Huh?”

Someone fell backwards.

Jinhyuk reflexively ran.

Jang Hyuk-jun, who was carrying a baby, was so busy leaving the baby late that he couldn’t even think about it.

CPR continued for a long time.

When Jinhyeok, who had been out of breath from doing things the right way, smiled brightly, cheers erupted from all directions.

Inhale and exhale.

The heart of a patient who had stopped beating and had no movement in the chest was beating again.

Someone who was watching Jinhyeok’s emergency measures asked.

“Are you a doctor?”

“Oh, yes.”

“What is your name?”

“yes?”

“At least the name… … .”

Those whose eyes sparkle brightly.

A blunt, un-German attitude.

No, maybe there are tourists mixed in.

Jinhyeok, who was in Germany and knew how much the local newspapers were developed compared to Korea, answered with a calm expression.

“Doctor Jang, this is Jang Hyuk-jun.”
