Episode 383. Hospital Director Election (2)

“Oh, it’s me. Oh, yeah. What’s up? I just called. Huh? You’re busy? Okay. Just hang up.”

Oh Ji-ho put down his phone and let out a hollow laugh.

When a prime minister’s dog dies, mourners flock to the area.

They say that when a prime minister dies, not a single ant is visible.

That’s exactly what it was like.

Acquaintances from other hospitals whose faces have changed.

That number is roughly one-third.

The rest of them might come back again.

Or because he’s my senior.

Or maybe because he’s a senior.

Just treat yourself.

The reaction was lukewarm.

So just.

“Eww. Tsk tsk.”

I just click my tongue.

Then suddenly.

I remembered something that happened a few years ago.

The chairman who was consistently indifferent.

The phone rang.

That too first.

For the first time.

– Let’s have a meal sometime.

– I didn’t know you were having such a hard time.

– I’m watching ‘Emergency Room People’ very well.

At that time, I felt like I was standing on top of a mountain and looking down… … .

I realized Lee Jin-hyeok’s ability and was happy that he could save the failing surgical department…

There is now suspicion that he manipulated Jinhyeok Lee, a resident, behind the scenes to increase the number of students admitted to the medical school.

Jiho Oh, who was becoming even more depressed, looked around.

Once, twice, three times.

After looking around for a while.

“Huh… … .”

A unique, quiet voice that can only be heard when alone.

He didn’t hesitate to act like a man of his age who was going through menopause.

Even with his head bowed deeply.

.

.

.

A brief silence.

And the time of no movement.

Oh Ji-ho started walking late.

The goal is to operate and.

I was thinking of meeting Woo Yong-man and having some tea.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time.

Woo Yong-man and Jin-hyeok were putting their heads together.

The target is a set situation.

We had to discuss how to break it.

“Should we not even make a proposal to strengthen the response of the Arbitration Board?”

“No, I’m not saying to take it out completely, I’m just saying it’s not the main thing.”

“In the end, it’s just for show.”

“In fact, it’s such an obvious suggestion. In the end, we’re going to work with the Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology to respond to the cuts in the arbitration committee. That’s a card they can use too.”

Woo Yong-man, who had been thinking for a moment, picked up a marker pen and drew a line.

In fact, it’s funny to listen to the words of Lee Jin-hyeok, who is only a junior staff member.

But I accepted it because I had confirmed his abilities in many ways.

“If we remove all the tea leaves like this, the only thing left is a proposal to increase the number of professors.”

“It is the most attractive card for obstetricians and gynecologists who do not have any other attractive factors.”

“Still, it’s only three digits at most. No, even two digits are difficult.”

“Because it’s a zero-sum game.”

“Yeah. It’s a zero-sum game. All you can do is throw in one general surgery TO and one thoracic surgery TO.”

This means that we should reduce the number of TOs from those who cannot betray us anyway.

Jinhyuk shook his head.

Then he jumped up and stood in front of the whiteboard.

“If we do it well, we can increase it to 15 people.”

“what?”

“You can just take over the hospital. There is no need to have a branch in Korea.”

“… … !”

“No, you don’t necessarily have to take over. Just believe that you will take over someday. Belief that you have the money to take over. In the end, what matters is belief.”

Jinhyeok also rolled up his shirt, leaving Wooyongman behind with a surprised expression.

* * *

Blessed land.

Heavenly Kingdom.

Draw a map of the United States.

And then he put a dot.

One, two, three.

hereto.

“New York, LA, is this San Jose?”

“That’s where Silicon Valley is.”

“Should we take over the local hospital?”

“To be exact, we are looking to take over an infertility clinic.”

“Infertility center?”

“Yes. For now.”

Jinhyuk started writing again.

The age of puberty is getting later and later.

I wrote the obvious story that the number of infertile patients is rapidly increasing.

In addition to that.

“Competition is fierce domestically, but it is still possible overseas.”

“There aren’t many infertile patients?”

“It’s much less than in Korea. Everyone gets married early.”

“hmm.”

“But it will continue to increase. Infertility is not simply caused by marrying late. They will eventually seek out Korean doctors who have a lot of experience in infertility treatments.”

Woo Yong-man’s eyes widened slightly.

I never even thought about going overseas.

It was a truly novel idea.

Except for the fatal problem.

“The rationale is good. The idea is good too.”

“The problem is money.”

“Yeah. The problem is money.”

“Will it be very difficult?”

“It’s hard to reach out to the foundation. They’ll probably have problems with it too.”

“You are saying that you will refuse under the pretext of maintaining neutrality?”

“Yeah. The Foundation won’t move.”

This time, only Woo Yong-man started writing.

Taking over a small hospital.

Although it was possible with our own funds, securing a professor TO was difficult.

I didn’t even know how many doctors were licensed in the United States.

Conversely, if the size is large, the acquisition price may become an issue.

I also wrote that achieving BEP is difficult.

hereto.

“Mr. Jang will be leaving for Germany. That is… … .”

“It’s hard to make a connection between personal fame and the introduction of the next-generation EMR. Since it’s a period-based system, the replacement lead time is long. And didn’t you say there was severe discrimination against Asians?”

Woo Yong-man is still half in doubt.

Jinhyuk tried to persuade her for a long time.

He said that he has shown his skills to that extent.

All the capable doctors have fled to England, the Netherlands, and France, and the ones who remain are just so-so.

nonetheless.

“It’s not easy. It’s not easy.”

It wasn’t easy to break Woo Yong-man.

The attitude of an operations manager who holds the purse strings.

Jinhyuk took out the last card.

“Actually, I have something else in mind.”

“hmm?”

“Korean-style postpartum care center. Let’s set it up in the US. Expand the side business. And take over an infertility clinic. Let’s approach this by packaging these two things.”

“… … !”

As Woo Yong-man’s eyes grew wide, Oh Ji-ho opened the door and came in and shouted.

“What? A postpartum care center? No, more importantly, why is this teacher here!”

A situation where I was caught in a trap.

Jinhyuk smiled awkwardly.

* * *

“Are you out of your mind! Are you out of your mind!”

Later, Oh Ji-ho lost his temper.

Jinhyuk bowed his head deeply.

The desire to protect oneself.

Some action had to be taken.

Jinhyuk just stared at the floor.

Oh Ji-ho turned his head.

“You’re the only one! This kid is the real deal!”

“Big, big.”

“I… … . Uh-huh.”

“This teacher will never come to the forefront.”

“So it will be safe?”

“yes.”

“The staff outside! Huh! The staff don’t have eyes or ears!? Is that what you’re talking about? Hey. Tsk tsk.”

“… … .”

Woo Yong-man, who had nothing to say, lowered his eyes.

Oh Ji-ho shouted again.

I told you to use it sparingly.

To focus on the meeting.

Or Woo Yong-man, who nagged at me to pay attention to financial statements.

He only shows his weak side.

Oh Ji-ho hesitated belatedly.

I wondered when I would get another chance like this, but it felt like showing weakness was just like himself.

so.

“Big. Big.”

Oh Ji-ho belatedly coughed in vain.

Woo Yong-man, who did not miss the opportunity, pushed up his glasses.

“We need to listen to young people’s opinions too.”

“What are you listening to? You don’t know anything yet!”

“Do you really think you don’t know anything?”

“huh?”

“Is this teacher?”

“… … .”

“You say our teacher doesn’t know?”

Oh Ji-ho was silent for a short while.

Woo Yong wasn’t the only one who missed that opportunity.

“Isn’t this the teacher?”

“… … .”

“I’m saying this because you’re our teacher.”

“Big. Big.”

“He’s not usually extraordinary. He’s quick with his hands. He’s good at drinking. He’s good at planning. He’s also strangely knowledgeable about hospital physiology.”

The praise for Lee Jin-hyeok continues for a long time.

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on Oh Ji-ho’s face, who had been quietly listening.

Jinhyuk Lee, a graduate of Seosin University.

It really fell apart.

In the sky.

That too in a completed state.

So I felt relieved, but Oh Ji-ho, like a hospital director, yelled at me again.

“That’s why you have to protect it! Hey! It’s just talk, it’s a goose that lays golden eggs. You shouldn’t cut open its belly! Hey! Talk! Is talking all you need to do? Hey! Tsk tsk!”

It was the first time that Oh Ji-ho showed himself as a hospital director.

* * *

A situation where I got scolded and kicked out.

He did mention establishing a Korean-style postpartum care center in the United States, but he failed to provide a proper follow-up explanation.

Postpartum care centers that became wildly popular in the future.

New York and LA.

She became so popular that people started waiting for her as soon as she got pregnant.

And they’re not Korean residents either.

Mainly rich locals.

Comprehensive education on newborn care.

And postpartum care.

Westerners also take care of their bodies.

Some say that postpartum care centers are only popular in Korea, but that is an ignorant statement.

Spending money on body care has long been a behavior of the wealthy.

It is a business with guaranteed success.

Also the side business.

Infertility clinic too.

So, the feeling of regret only lasts for a moment.

Jinhyuk looked around at the management and staff members who were looking at him with surprised eyes.

‘It’ll probably get spread soon. Well, it can’t be bad if it gets spread.’

“The hospital director is really angry. Haha.”

“We didn’t hear anything.”

“Please keep it a secret.”

“Yes, it’s a secret.”

“Yes, you must keep it a secret.”

“We keep our mouths shut.”

Those who nod their heads.

They looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.

That makes sense.

My fingers were already on the keyboard.

Everyone was busy messaging for a while.

It was also a huge hit that Lee Jin-hyeok came to the operations department during the vacation.

Report back.

I was doing it very well.

* * *

Communicator, the old messenger, has already been replaced.

Messenger, which was introduced along with the introduction of the next-generation EMR, immediately caught fire.

[Oh my gosh? Did you hear? This teacher is back.]

[Aren’t you in Germany?]

[It’s time to return.]

[Really? Are you greeting people now?]

[No? I’m in the operations department right now?]

[Why? Are you getting in trouble for spending a lot of money on dispatching? Hahahahaha]

[No. I’m stuck on the election strategy right now.]

[Wow!! Awesome!!]

A messenger who follows his own tail.

Nurses are nurses.

Again, the nursing assistant is a nursing assistant.

Once again, the doctor does what the doctor says.

Those who heard the news were furious.

The comeback of Lee Jin-hyuk, who was cherished like an adopted son!

And the precarious hospital director election!

Everyone was excited about the impending downfall of ‘Made Royale’.

[This is so much fun ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Why did even Lee Jin-hyuk come forward?]

[But why is the hospital director angry?]

[I don’t want my son to get hurt.]

[Will that make a difference? If the vice-president becomes the hospital director, he won’t let it go.]

[What I’m saying is ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like the trend has already changed.]

[Still, I feel bad for our hospital director. ㅠㅠ.]

[Reality is cold and harsh.]

Now, the world of internal medicine has come back.

All sorts of things were said.

Everyone in the surgical department was worried.

Then, Kim Moo-sung sent this message to his classmate.

[But this teacher, he won’t just take it like this, right? That senior is no ordinary person. He’s really scary when he gets angry.]

* * *

A few days later.

Woo Yong-man visited the obstetrics and gynecology department’s office.

Woo Yong-man glanced at the nameplate that said ‘Jaesil’ and straightened his clothes in front of the manager’s office.

And push up your glasses too.

And pull on the hem of your suit.

I straightened my tie and took a deep breath.

The ‘mid- to long-term roadmap for obstetrics and gynecology’ that was discussed again with Lee Jin-hyeok and externally.

There was a new pattern, but it was unclear how the demoralized obstetrician and gynecologist would react.

“after.”

Woo Yong-man took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

dripping.

“Manager, this is Woo Yong-man.”

“Ah, come in.”

“Yes, sir.”

Woo Yong-man opened the door, calling her by her name more than usual.

And then immediately it froze.

Because there were passengers.

The day of absence came first.

* * *

Grumpy.

The so-called bulldog killing.

Although there is nothing more unsightly than saggy cheeks around the mouth, the absentee looked happy.

“Our busy operations manager came to see the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department. It looks like our obstetrics and gynecology department is about to get cut again.”

“Haha. It’s always our fault, we’re so sinful.”

“This is really true. We do all this for the sake of the patients. But we get criticized for over-treating patients. Doctors are sinners. Sinners.”

“Well, it’s been a long time since I became a sinner.”

The obstetrician and gynecologist added his remarks.

The days of absence continued to be a mess.

hereto.

“That was the jury’s decision.”

“But I should have protested.”

“I did my best to fulfill my calling.”

“But it was cut. I heard that 300 million was cut because of the Doppler ultrasound gun?”

“Doppler ultrasound guns have been cut from all other hospitals as well.”

A short and sharp argument.

The obstetrician and gynecologist who had been listening intervened.

“Just because I said I wanted to check the blood flow! What! Does it make sense to only recognize heart defects!”

That’s actually true.

Just doing a regular ultrasound means not looking at blood flow.

Measurement of blood flow velocity, direction, and lesion.

An anxious mother.

And a doctor who prepares for the unexpected.

It was unfortunate for everyone.

The absence was once again a problem.

“Our manager Woo. I will do my best to prevent the cuts. I will help you. I will suggest it to the arbitration board. I guess that’s the kind of suggestion you came here to make. Now, take a look at this.”

The absentee first handed over the settlement papers he had brought.

That goes for everyone too.

The proposal was confirmed in this way.

No, a book of promises.

Woo Yong-man began to review the documents without showing any change in expression.

1. Relaxation of criteria for reduction in incontinence surgery.

2. Approval of Domphil administration to patients with acute cystitis.

3. Approval of administration of Iniciar to patients with uterine fibroids.

4. Securing recognition cases for Asian clover cream.

5. Recognition of benefits for tests for lower urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections.

.

.

.

.

There are countless examples of cuts written down.

And countermeasures.

The argument was simple.

I will persuade the jury.

I will give you my strength.

We will respond together with the other Big 4 hospitals, not at the level of the Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Before meeting Jinhyeok, he would have had the same idea.

Woo Yong-man remained silent.

hereto.

“Well, what do you think? Haha. I didn’t write anything because expanding domestic infertility centers is the default.”

The absent day laughed heartily and made people laugh.

The winner’s smile.

No, it was a face that seemed certain that he would win.

* * *

“I have some personal plans… … .”

A condolence message directed at Woo Yong-man, who remains motionless even after the absence of the guest.

Woo Yong-man continued speaking to the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, who seemed to be saying, “Let it be.”

“Do you know how strict the judging panel is?”

“It won’t work anyway?”

“It won’t work anyway.”

“under.”

“Still, I’ll try.”

“You are honest.”

“Yes, that’s too honest.”

“I guess you don’t want to win. The hospital director wanted to win.”

The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department even secretly mentions that Oh Ji-ho has come to see her.

Woo Yong-man pushed up his glasses and looked inside the packaging he had made with Lee Jin-hyeok.

So, after I was kicked out of the operations department, I took out the revised proposal.

* * *

And the next day.

The obstetrician and gynecologist’s attitude changed immediately.

He even handed over a candidate for an infertility clinic to take over.

As part of the side business.

They even specified the building where the postpartum care center would be built.

That’s not all.

Economic analysis.

And IRR.

Until BEP point.

The report was so perfect.

If things go well, it is certain that the number of professors will increase.

There were many doctors who wanted to go to the United States for their children’s education.

He kept laughing when he heard that they would even pay for the cost of getting a medical license in the United States.

The hospital director election was a close race.

Hope was sprouting.

of course.

“You must keep it a secret. Don’t tell the Vice President.”

It was something that had to be revealed in order to change the trend, but Woo Yong-man did not forget to act emotionally at this time.

A face that explodes with indignation at being absent.

I really wanted to see it.
