The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 388



Only Noblemtl

Episode 388. That’s not really what it means.

I thought I’d get a reply like, ‘Let’s just wait and see.’

But ‘Huh… …’

I don’t even understand English.

I’m so upset I could die!

After a long time, Jae-Byeol’s face turned red, and he finally gave the summons.

* * *

After a while.

8pm.

Even for a busy professor who divides his time into minutes, it is a free time.

The outpatient clinic is long over.

All types of treatments have also been completed.

That’s not all.

The afternoon rounds are also over.

Regular working hours are completely over.

so.

“Heh heh… … .”

“Why all of a sudden… … .”

“if…….”

The internal medicine professors gathered in the conference room did not hesitate to whisper, even if only quietly.

Jin’s absence three times in a row.

A place he suddenly summoned.

You never know.

Should I resign and even give up my position as vice president?

Jae-il Bae, who arrived late, quietly watched them.

fire extinguisher.

cycle.

Respiratory system.

height.

Endocrine.

etc.

The center of the internal medicine department!

Those who have shared the same views.

I was shaking without knowing it.

There may also have been those whose dissatisfaction reached the peak of their chins.

So, we had to start with internal discipline first.

The absentee said in a dry voice.

“All of this is my fault. So I must resign.”

“… … !”

“Thank you all for your hard work helping this person who was lacking.”

I’m saying I’ll put everything down.

Some people had expected it, but everyone was shocked by the sudden behavior.

It is customary for the next voter to become vice president.

If he resigned immediately, there might have been another vote on the vice-chairman position.

So right now.

“No, Vice President! Resignation!”

“That’s right! You have to keep leading us!”

“Haha, that’s really not right.”

This kind of talk started to flow out day and night.

Of course, the absence did not come easily either.

The king of Joseon in ancient times, who was called King Seonjo Sogyeong.

A method often used by King Seonjo, who was called one of the three greatest tyrants along with King Injo and King Gojong!

It was an absence that caused the so-called abdication wave.

* * *

How should one react when a king offers to give up his throne?

The moment you say, “Okay, I understand,” it’s natural that you’ll be caught.

Everyone had to lie down flat on their stomach and shout, ‘Please touch me!’

Because I can’t dare say, ‘Okay, you come down.’

That’s why the ancestors often used the wave of abdication to test loyalty and also to control the organization!

Even on the day of his absence, he continued to be stubborn despite the professors’ dissuasion.

So 30 minutes later.

After a long time, he reluctantly withdraws his decision.

“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

He declared that he had once again taken control of the organization through the resignation wave.

“In the past, we lost by at most two, no, three votes. But this time, we lost by five votes. That means one of us voted for them.”

They say there is a traitor.

The atmosphere immediately froze.

* * *

There are also professors who do not receive tenure (guaranteed lifetime employment).

In the frozen atmosphere, the absence was declared.

“I’m not saying that I’m going to find the traitor. Even Cao Cao, who won the Battle of Guandu in the old days, burned all the letters from officials who had colluded with Yuan Shao.”

“… … .”

“Whether or not there is a traitor among you, the letters in my heart have all been burned as of today. So let’s do it again.”

After showing leadership worthy of a vice president.

He raised his voice again in a strong tone.

“Honeymoon with the new hospital director. No, not even a new appointment. It’s a reappointment. There’s no such thing as a honeymoon.”

“So what do you plan to do from now on?”

“It’s clear why Rehabilitation betrayed me again, but I still don’t know why Obstetrics and Gynecology and Plastic Surgery betrayed me.”

“You’ll find out soon enough. I think it will be on the agenda for this management meeting. They’ll try to get it passed no matter what.”

“That’s the opportunity.”

The absentee continued talking for a long time.

The internal medicine department is also suggesting a similar agenda.

So, let them oppose it.

Let’s also oppose other departments’ bills that are being submitted using this as an excuse.

When the explanation of the absence was finished, everyone was amazed.

“It’s a strategy to divide the surgical and clinical departments again.”

“If they find out that it’s an empty promise, they’ll definitely turn to us next time.”

“Wouldn’t this be considered a stroke of genius? Haha.”

Eom Baek-ho imitating Cao Cao.

And next to him was a villainous figure.

* * *

It’s already the day of the management meeting.

The absentee and internal medicine department heads made up their minds.

I will only oppose for the sake of opposing.

So they themselves raised the agenda first.

We had to discuss this matter sincerely.

The problem is that the hospital director, Oh Ji-ho, is not yet in his right mind.

I miss my old days as a resident and fellow.

Oh Ji-ho was still in a daze as he recalled the times when he had been through thick and thin with his colleagues at work.

‘I’ve become an unwelcome person. Hehe.’

‘Everyone is avoiding me.’

‘I. I’ve grown old before I knew it. I’ve become an old man in the back room.’

Just as cancer patients go through five stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, they show amazing psychological changes.

He is also going through a similar situation.

so.

“The budget needed by the nephrology department right now is 2 billion won.”

The head of the nephrology department said this, but he didn’t say anything.

Then, Woo Yong-man took up the gun.

“You’re saying you’re going to replace the catapult? Why are you going to replace a perfectly good catapult?”

“Gambro in Sweden has introduced a cutting-edge dialysis machine. Samseon Hospital has also introduced it, so we should introduce it too.”

“Budgets have priorities.”

“Blood pressure is improved quickly. It also has a high rate of preventing clotting. They say it’s better than existing equipment. Why are you arguing?”

Aggressive tone.

Woo Yong-man maintained his composure, though.

The opponent was slimy.

As if they wanted to have a mud fight.

Honey, as always, we had to decide by vote.

but.

“Ah, if I don’t have enough money right now, I can just lease it.”

Oh Ji-ho, who had been showing no interest for a while, dismissed it with these words.

As if he didn’t want to hear any more.

* * *

‘What, what is it?’

‘Why the hospital director?’

‘If it’s nephrology, it’s in the internal medicine department?’

‘Could it be that the head of the nephrology department is a traitor?’

‘Was there a backroom deal? What was it?’

‘I thought there would definitely be a traitor.’

Oh Ji-ho’s decision.

Everyone was shocked and astonished.

What was particularly embarrassing was the absence of Bae Joo-il, who had been imitating his ancestors so terribly.

The probability that the head of nephrology will betray you is 0%.

But looking at Oh Ji-ho’s reaction, it seems he was mistaken.

If things go this way, the plan is to first reject all the bills submitted by the internal medicine department and then attack Oh Ji-ho.

So, it was possible that even the grand strategy of blocking all other departments’ agendas that were submitted after the election might have been disrupted.

While I was feeling embarrassed about my absence.

Woo Yong-man pushed up his glasses.

“Hospital director.”

“Ah, I hear you. Speak. Speak.”

“This matter requires further review.”

“Okay. Okay.”

“Hospital director!”

“Ah, okay. Okay.”

Woo Yong-man raised his voice slightly in the middle, but Oh Ji-ho waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

And the grumpy Simbo who was watching this started to stir again.

A promise to hide the betrayal of the nephrologist.

It seemed like nothing more, nothing less.

* * *

The next agenda item is an investment proposal submitted by the head of the Department of Gastroenterology.

Woo Yong-man immediately stepped forward when he heard that they were going to introduce dedicated angiographic equipment that was being shared with the radiology department.

“Why would you use it exclusively?”

“If you look at the operating rate, it’s almost at 100%.”

“It’s hard to even make a reservation. Then, all you have to do is introduce one more unit. But you’re going to build dedicated equipment here. Why on earth do you need 10 units?”

“I told you that this is absolutely necessary equipment for high-difficulty endoscopic interventional surgery.”

“There is no equipment that is not absolutely necessary.”

Only Woo Yong-man radiated cold air.

Doctors’ greed for equipment.

It was no match for golf fanatics or fishing fanatics.

The moment we leave it unchecked, tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions, could be squandered.

but.

“New catapult. Artist Q. This is the real deal.”

“It’s a waste of money.”

“No, it’s really better than the existing equipment. The image processing speed is also faster. It means that the shooting and treatment time can be greatly reduced!”

“The existing equipment is sufficient.”

“Didn’t you say that it’s possible to approach from angles that couldn’t be taken with existing equipment?”

The argument continues.

It can also reduce the amount of radiation exposure.

You don’t know how important image quality improvement is.

There was a lot of talk.

The fight continued for a long time.

For a moment, the absentee’s expression turned into a satisfied expression.

Oh Ji-ho just listened quietly.

So, Ji-ho Oh, who had been showing mood swings to the point where everything became annoying, took charge of traffic.

“Ah, then let’s introduce this too. Since we don’t have money for this either, why don’t we proceed with leasing?”

* * *

The management meeting was suspended at Woo Yong-man’s request.

The hall was crowded with managers gathering in groups of three or five to drink tea, smoke a cigarette, or just take a quick nap.

In the meantime, the absence is so painful that I could die.

We need to divide the enemy.

I need to split it again.

That way, we can win the next election for the director.

I found out who the traitor was.

He imitated Cao Cao, who had defeated Yuan Shao with difficulty in the Battle of Guandu, and said that he would bury the traitor.

It’s hard to keep your composure when the opponent is like that.

‘The head of nephrology and the head of gastroenterology dare to betray me?’

Even short, bold thoughts are fleeting.

The head of the gastroenterology department and the head of the nephrology department approached the absentee, who was overcome with anger.

“Vice President.”

“Tell you later. I’m a little tired now.”

“That’s it. Hmm.”

“Okay.”

“Vice President, we are not real.”

“Ah, I know. I just need some time to think about it.”

An absence where you just close your eyes.

The head of the gastroenterology department and the head of the nephrology department both looked as if they were being wronged, but they couldn’t show it.

They also had a look of discontent on their faces.

Treating me like a traitor for no reason.

There was no chance to explain, and others were also looking at them with suspicious eyes.

Oh Ji-ho’s unpredictable actions.

Only the internal medicine department was on the verge of division.

* * *

While leading companies have ‘Seocho’ departments that require reports written in an easy-to-understand manner that even elementary school students can understand.

At Asin Hospital, there was only Woo Yong-man.

Strong budget control!

Seamless BEP timing prediction based on the number of inpatients!

Even the perfect attitude towards responding to the on-site investigation team!

Woo Yong-man is an operations manager who is a role model for others.

No, that’s an exaggeration, he was a real power player.

But even Woo Yong-man couldn’t understand Oh Ji-ho’s behavior at all.

I tried persuading them too.

I even threatened to quit.

Even if you ask why it’s like this.

We did all sorts of things during the recess.

But Oh Ji-ho still can’t come to his senses.

‘I used to be like that too, but now… … .’

Let’s just keep lamenting like this.

Woo Yong-man immediately called Lee Jin-hyeok.

The golden duck running in a hurry.

No, the golden goose.

Woo Yong-man told Jin-hyeok, who had a puzzled expression, what had happened so far.

Then Jinhyeok immediately approached Oh Jiho.

“Hospital director.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going.”

“Ah, yeah. Okay.”

It starts to droop slightly and then falls again.

I miss Oh Ji-ho, who used to scold me after finding out that I was secretly planning an election strategy!

Jinhyuk smiled awkwardly.

“I have something to ask you.”

“huh?”

“This patient has just undergone a pancreatectomy.”

“Uh huh.”

“I went to the emergency room because I had fluid buildup after surgery. That was… … .”

The questions continued for a long time.

It wasn’t just a simple question, but a question of the level at which superiors could properly instruct subordinates.

Oh Ji-ho reacted late.

At this, Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

“Wow. As expected.”

“As expected.”

“There is no one better than the hospital director!”

“Big, big.”

“Other professors are a bit like that.”

“hmm?”

“Well, this teacher knows everything. He can figure it out just by looking at it. He just talks as if he knows everything. But even a genius has some difficult parts.”

Jinhyeok took a moment to catch his breath and looked at Oh Jiho’s complexion.

The expression on his face brightens little by little.

Jinhyuk continued speaking.

“So that’s why.”

“Yeah.”

“Can I ask you something I don’t know? I guess I can just contact you through messenger. Hehe.”

“So what?”

“Yes. I know you’re busy, but if you could teach me, I’ll study hard. Hehe.”

When Jinhyeok smiled brightly, the corners of Oh Jiho’s mouth, which had suddenly lost its smile, twitched.

How to arouse a man going through menopause.

It wasn’t like checking your testosterone levels and giving you a hormone injection or something.

I’m sure it’s not the old man in the back room!

All he had to do was show that he still had enough value in his own right.

* * *

Oh Ji-ho regains consciousness.

Could it be because Jinhyuk Lee, whom she cherished so much, acted cute even though she hated it more than dying?

Or is it just a symptom of male menopause, with its roller coaster-like emotional ups and downs?

After regaining his energy, he repeatedly rejected the internal medicine agenda.

This only increased suspicion about the absence.

The agenda submitted by the Department of Nephrology and the Department of Gastroenterology passed as is!

All other motions are rejected!

It was truly a winning experience.

A proposal to establish a Korean-style postpartum care center in the United States was immediately brought up, but Bujail did not even respond properly.

Even the executive meeting held immediately after the election was a complete defeat.

It was a total defeat.

Even with this, suspicions began to grow, which became the seed of internal division.

* * *

The rotation starts again.

Jinhyeok, who was working in the intensive care unit, bowed his head to Yoon Heecheol, the EICU’s permanent resident.

“Please take care of me, senior. The manager asked me to work at EICU starting today.”

“Ah. What do you want? Please take good care of me too. More than that. Ah, no. That’s enough.”

“You’re telling me not to cause any accidents, right? I won’t. Well, I’m just going to be there for a bit before I go to the military.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Yoon Hee-chul, who was about to ask if there was any interference in the election, laughed awkwardly.

It was clear that something had happened.

I shut my mouth tightly and there was nothing more to ask.

After working for a while, he tilted his head as he looked at Jinhyeok, who was hanging in front of the computer.

Lee Jin-hyeok chatting with someone on messenger.

When I saw that his appearance looked ominous, I approached him stealthily.

And then.

“Hey!”

Yoon Hee-chul was so surprised that he took a step back.

I knew I was being treated like an adopted son.

No, I knew very well that the hospital director loved and cared for Lee Jin-hyeok.

What can we say about the sight of Jinhyuk Lee asking the hospital director all sorts of questions?

okay.

Royal.

It was definitely royal.
