The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 381



Only Noblemtl

Episode 381. Doctor Jang’s identity (3)

“First, try diazepam.”

“Diazepam? Should I prescribe a tranquilizer?”

“yes.”

“under…….”

The professor who had been speaking informally to me from earlier let out a long sigh.

That wasn’t all.

Others also showed their discontented expressions.

He came back after being away for a while.

Just words.

Administration of tranquilizers.

It had to be that way.

behindhand.

“You’re just trying to treat the symptoms without knowing the cause. You shouldn’t have called a surgeon in the first place.”

“That’s right. It’s clear that you don’t even know what the side effects are.”

“A tranquilizer? This is not an adult patient, but a pediatric patient.”

“What kind of genius doctor is that? If you’re not careful, you could end up with a speech impediment. Your blood pressure could also drop.”

The complaints just burst out.

There was a lot of noise for a while.

Those discussing the side effects of diazepam.

Jang Hyuk-jun waited without saying anything.

Then, when the stomach calmed down.

He asked back.

“Is it a problem because he’s a child?”

“It’s not the kind of medicine you can administer recklessly.”

“Why not? Why not just minimize the dosage? If you weigh 10kg, I think you only need to administer 1mg.”

“Didn’t you hear? If it’s severe, it can cause speech impediment.”

“It’s temporary.”

“It’s meaningless to just treat the symptoms.”

When the professor shook his head, Jang Hyuk-jun also shook his head strongly.

A look that doesn’t answer.

It was an appearance that did not suit Jang Hyuk-jun, who always said useless things.

“Diazepam. It is a drug frequently used in surgical intensive care units.”

“It’s often used for delirium. I also know that it’s used together with Haldol (Haliperidol).”

“It has been found that Haldol is ineffective for delirium.”

“what?”

“Have you not seen the paper written by Dr. Lee here?”

“… … .”

Not only the professor who had been speaking informally, but everyone turned their heads and looked at Jinhyeok.

By the way, I heard that there was a paper like that.

What we have been using conventionally has no effect.

Of course, there were many who thought it was just a one-sided claim and used it as is.

Jang Hyuk-jun drove the wedge into them.

“And I never said we only treat symptoms.”

“what?”

“They say they found out the cause.”

“Did you find out the cause?”

“Yes. The reason is simple.”

“… … !”

Jang Hyuk-jun answered briefly and then swallowed.

Internists who distrust themselves.

Secondly, it was clear that he was making that expression because he didn’t know that he was showing the same symptoms.

so.

“It’s not genetic. It’s not a bacterial infection. It’s not epilepsy. It’s not neurological. There’s only one case like this.”

“… … .”

“Drug addiction. The symptoms of drug addiction are clear.”

“… … !”

After giving a confident impression (diagnosis), he straightened his shoulders.

This was accomplished without Lee Jin-hyeok’s help.

I couldn’t help but feel proud.

* * *

Drug addiction.

This happens to children often.

Because I just put everything I see in my mouth.

But everyone who knew this objected.

“Drug addiction? That’s ridiculous.”

“That’s right. You can’t show those symptoms by taking something like cold medicine.”

“It wouldn’t work without some kind of medicine… … .”

“A drug that can cause Tourette syndrome? What kind of nonsense is that… .”

A torrent of backlash.

Jang Hyuk-jun stood there and refuted.

“Why do you rule out all possibilities? As a doctor, you should be open to all possibilities.”

“that…….”

“Did I learn it wrong? Or is it just this easy to make conclusions here?”

Jang Hyuk-jun, who had been reprimanded harshly, turned his head toward his guardian.

“Did you hear? Usually, medication doesn’t work like that. Have you ever been prescribed antipsychotic drugs?”

“yes?”

“I was wondering if you’ve ever been to a psychiatrist.”

“I’ve never done that before.”

“Really? What about your husband?”

“My husband… … .”

When the guardian trailed off.

Jang Hyuk-jun stopped her again.

“It’s gotten to this point. You have to tell me everything without hiding anything. There’s nothing wrong with going to a psychiatrist here.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“… … ?”

“It’s been so long. The last time I went was a year ago.”

“It’s true that your husband was seeing a psychiatrist. Did he take all the prescribed medication?”

“You must have eaten everything… … .”

A guardian whose words are increasingly drawn out.

It was clear that he was not confident.

Because he didn’t eat it himself.

Jang Hyuk-jun glanced at where his husband might be and turned his head again.

“Let’s quickly secure and check the prescription records first.”

* * *

Although they claimed it was absurd, it was confirmed that one of the guardians had been prescribed antipsychotic drugs.

Everyone was confused and moved late.

Someone went out to look for her husband, who had left with his second child, saying that his sleepwalking had gotten worse.

Another person tried to contact a psychiatrist that his wife had recommended.

That’s what it turned out to be.

“I have a record of having been prescribed haliperidol.”

It was a simple task.

Antipsychotic drugs.

Haliperidol.

It was the drug that Jinhyeok had even published a paper on, claiming that it had no effect on delirium patients.

Then, the father of the second child came running, holding him late.

Those who confirmed the condition had blank expressions on their faces.

The second one was not as severe as the first one, but showed similar symptoms.

Although the German doctors were famous for being slow-moving, they were all busy shouting.

“Start with a blood draw!”

“Bring me 1mg of diazepam!”

“Bed! Get a bed! Put the second one down too!”

Those who check the blood concentration of haliperidol and even prescribe tranquilizers.

Jang Hyuk-jun pushed up his glasses again.

* * *

An hour later.

Jinhyuk said while examining the patient.

“It’s okay now.”

“The stiffness in my neck has also decreased. My level of consciousness has also improved.”

“Shall we go now?”

“I think that’ll work. Let’s run away quickly before you ask the wrong question.”

“Okay, then.”

Those who got completely better as soon as they started taking diazepam.

It didn’t even tick anymore.

There was also no kicking into the air.

That’s not all.

The stiffness in my cervical spine, which had been so stiff, was so loose that I could say it had completely loosened up.

Jang Hyuk-jun hurriedly packed his bag.

One of the internists who had been very distrustful of him approached him.

“How did you know?”

“hmm…….”

“I wonder how you knew that I had not fully developed any symptoms of haliperidol overdose.”

“… … .”

When Jang Hyuk-jun fell silent again, he asked again.

“There was no bradycardia. No sinus arrhythmia. No hypotension. No specific changes were observed on the electrocardiogram. There was absolutely nothing that could be called haliperidol intoxication.”

“What about blood pressure? It was 100/60. It was reasonable for a pediatric patient.”

“So here’s my question.”

“… … .”

Jang Hyuk-jun just smiled strangely and remained silent.

He himself did not know that he was addicted to haliperidol.

Just because the second one also showed the same symptoms.

I only suspected it was drug intoxication because I happened to witness the scene first while coming back from the bathroom.

So just.

“Decreased reactivity. Abnormal eye movements. Dystonia. Gait disturbance and tics. It was enough to raise suspicions of drug addiction.”

After giving a plausible answer based on the results, he turned his back.

* * *

“Ah, that’s exactly what I did! Huh!”

“Huh! What!”

“I just thought, ‘Wow…’ That was the kind of reaction I had.”

“really?”

“Oh, I’m telling you the truth. Don’t you believe me? If you don’t believe me, I’ll really call you? I’ll call this teacher.”

“Oh, okay. It’s late at night. What’s the bother?”

“Oh, everyone said they were impressed by me.”

A boast that went on for a long time.

Jeong A-reum said she was tired of it now.

Jang Hyuk-jun was steadfast.

“I didn’t know surgery could be this fun.”

“Then what about during that time?”

“I just did it. I had to save him first.”

“… … .”

“But it’s so much fun. It’s so much fun to see people’s reactions. Hajun. Huh? What did Dad say… ?”

A boast directed at a child who cannot yet understand words.

The endless bragging continued for a long time and even into the next day.

Because this incident was reported in the newspaper.

Jang Hyuk-jun laughed with his mouth wide open like a gourd.

“Haha. I was in the newspaper.”

Jang Hyuk-jun even dances the shoulder dance.

Jinhyuk looked through the newspaper articles about him.

[Dr. Jang, working as a visiting doctor at the Plattenbau Hospital, identified a patient with acute haliperidol poisoning at the Charité Hospital… … .]

[The good deed of a Korean doctor who saved a patient who had been waiting a long time for an invitation surgery… … .]

The article went on for quite some time.

Since all the talk about himself was omitted, Jinhyuk was also able to smile with satisfaction.

The problem is.

“Oh, I got another email?”

Requests for surgical invitations also came from other hospitals.

Guess the size of the hematoma.

It seems that he is famous for his work at Charité Hospital.

Jinhyuk just shrugged his shoulders.

Jang Hyuk-jun liked it again.

“Okay. Let’s go again!”

Jang Hyuk-jun is clearly completely addicted to the taste of invited surgery.

No, Jinhyuk clicked his tongue softly because it was clear that it would be good for someone to observe.

When you’re doing Star Wars, there’s someone watching from behind.

I know it’s burdensome to some people.

I heard that there are times when someone works hard like that.

That’s exactly what it was like.

* * *

The invitation surgery continued for three months.

Jinhyuk also participated whenever he had time.

Other colleagues also followed Jang Hyuk-jun to other hospitals.

Of course, it wasn’t just invitation surgeries.

Plattenbau Hospital, which acted as a hospital for Korean residents, was also crowded with people.

I shouldn’t have liked it, but the operating room was running nonstop.

All because it was rumored that there was no waiting.

so.

“It’s Geumilbong.”

Everyone happily accepted the envelope handed over by Max, the hospital director.

Jinhyuk immediately put the envelope in his bosom and expressed his thanks.

“I will use it well.”

“Well, I didn’t even put much in. But anyway… … .”

“You can speak comfortably.”

“Is it time to go back now?”

“Yes, there isn’t much left.”

“This is true. We need to hire doctors before that. The number of patients has increased, but we still can’t find doctors… … .”

Max trailed off.

Jinhyuk put down the fork he was using to eat the steak.

“For now, I have requested it from the head office.”

“It’s not fixed yet?”

“Because there is a selection process. We don’t just send anyone who wants to exchange.”

“Everyone probably wants to go to America. I’m worried.”

“No, Germany is also popular.”

“Is it popular?”

Jinhyuk nodded his head, looking at Max’s puzzled expression.

“Yes, there are many doctors who don’t want to be researchers. And also… … .”

“And what else?”

“After seeing that Mr. Jang became famous… … .”

As Jinhyeok smiled faintly, Jang Hyukjun, who was sitting right next to him, patted his side.

One of the things an exchange doctor does.

I had to periodically upload my daily life diary to the hospital website.

Jang Hyuk-jun was uploading a diary of his life with excessive seasoning.

As a result, all of the seniors and juniors who knew Jang Hyuk-jun’s skills thought that he was worth a try.

When Jinhyeok shrugged his shoulders as if telling him not to say anything, Max asked back.

“By the way, Charité Hospital.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I heard that you said you wanted to send a letter of exchange to Korea.”

“Yes, so Mr. Jang recommended some people.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Well, there are several people… … . I asked them to send the chief first as an advance team.”

It was said that Dr. Amilon was the one being pointed out.

It was a great opportunity to experience the hellish life in a Korean hospital.

so.

“We acknowledge each other’s differences and learn from each other. The idea of ​​exchange seems like a really good system.”

Needless to say, Jang Hyuk-jun quickly intervened and smiled, revealing his teeth.

* * *

Time flew by again.

Jinhyuk burst into laughter when he saw the lovely scenery.

Asin Hospital next to the embankment.

Now, I’ve become so familiar with Asin Hospital that I feel like it’s my alma mater, not Seosin University Hospital.

I’m still not used to the scale of it.

It is a truly huge hospital.

Jinhyuk, who entered the cafe next to the hospital, immediately called.

The one who appeared a little later was Yoon Hee-chul.

When he, a resident of the EICU (Emergency Intensive Care Unit), told Jinhyuk about the circumstances that had led to his return to the hospital, Jinhyuk was surprised and asked back.

“Huh? You think the hospital director will change?”

It was shocking news that Oh Ji-ho would likely lose the election.
