Medical Return

“Anyway, now we have to treat... this is the problem. ”

“ ……?? ”

“I can heal, but I'm in a bad position... I think I need to cut out the whole stomach. ”

“It's so small, but the whole stomach...? ”

“Yes, because of the anatomical nature of the stomach, the cancer in that position has to cut the entire stomach. ”

“... it's a big surgery. ”

“Yes.”

When the doctor's words became heavy, the parents' faces also became heavy again.

I haven't slept in my whole life, but I have to cut out the whole stomach. I had no idea how big the surgery was.

“No side effects? ’

“Of course, there can be a lot of problems. I'd like to cut up a little bit less and leave some, but... I'm not in a good position, so it would be difficult. ”

As the conversation went on, I became deeper.

Jinhyun, who was still listening, said.

“I... professor. ”

“But why, student? ”

“ESD… No, not the procedure of cutting the mucosa with an endoscope? ”

“ ……! ”

Professor Choi's eyes widened. It was not a term that came out of the mouth of a high school student.

Jinhyun hurried around.

“I've studied it separately… I know that with an endoscope, you don't have to cut your stomach with a knife, and there are very few side effects. Treatment grade is almost like a stomach surgery. ”

Professor Choi wore glasses.

“Of course it is. But endoscopic treatment can only be applied if gastric cancer is really shallow. And your father had wrinkles in his endoscopic image, which is a good chance that gastric cancer was dug up to the bottom of the mucosa. ”

After finishing his speech, Choi would not understand it anyway, but he regretted why he explained this to high school students.

But the answer that came back was more poetic.

“I think the wrinkles are shallow and the size of the lesions is so small that the depth of the cancer is likely to be shallow. Shouldn't we try endoscopic ultrasound for depth, CT for distant metastases, and then try endoscopic therapy? If it's deep, you can try surgical treatment again afterwards. ”

“ ……!!! ”

Professor Choi was terrified and opened his mouth slightly.

It was an action that didn't go with a sharp impression, but I was just as surprised.

“No… how did the student say that? ”

Jinhyun hurriedly looked around, realizing that he had passed.

“I studied before I came to the hospital. Oops, I'm sorry if you feel bad. ”

“... you studied? ”

But Professor Choi's expression was unreliable.

What Jinhyun said now came from the mouth of a doctor who specializes in gastric cancer.

The appropriate clinical judgment, which is contextual, is not in any book.

When she saw him, she smiled and said,

“This kid looks just like me! In a month or two since I started studying, I've been first in college! ”

My father said,

“You look just like me. ”

“Ah, Father. Mother..... ”

Jinhyun looked embarrassed and Choi had a ridiculous face.

‘No matter how good my head is, this is impossible..... ’

He said after he coughed.

“In any case, I agree with your son. It's good to avoid a big surgery. Then we will proceed as your son said, so hospitalize. ”

* * *

It then proceeded smoothly.

Several tests were performed after hospitalization, and fortunately, there was no sign of deep digging of the cancer, allowing for an endoscopic procedure without cutting the stomach.

“You'll be all right, Jinhyun? ”

“Yes, it's going to be fine. ”

While undergoing endoscopic treatment, Jinhyeon and her mother waited for the results outside with nervousness.

Most of the time the treatment ended successfully, but I was worried it was my father's job.

And two hours later... Jinhyun found them, and the professor Choi who did the endoscopic surgery found them.

“Sir, what do you think? Was it good?”

My mother urgently asked.

Jinhyun also waited for an answer.

Professor Choi smiled with a sharp eye.

“Successfully cured. Don't worry.”

“Ah...! Thank you.”

My mother bowed her head. Jinhyun also said thank you.

“Thank you very much. ”

“No. And you..... ”

Choi Hyeon, who blurred the end of his speech, looked suspicious.

“Why do you do that? ”

But Choi shook his head to say something.

“No, it's not. ”

“ ……? ”

The father then recovered smoothly.

And a few days later.

“Are you all right, Father? ”

“It's okay. I'm all better now, so you need to stop going to the hospital. ”

“No, it's better than a knife to the stomach, but an endoscopic procedure is a big treatment, so you need to take good care of yourself. And I'm studying here too, so don't worry about my grades. ”

In Jinhyun's stubbornness, he shook his head.

While the rich man was talking like that, someone approached the bed of the infirmary.

He was Choi.

I came to see if I was recovering well without any special problems.

“Is there any pain in your stomach? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

“The final tissue examination we checked for endoscopic treatment also showed that it was well treated. It won't be a problem if you get a good periodic examination in the future. ”

Professor Choi, who brought good news, looked at Jinhyun.

“You..... ”

“Yes?”

He hesitated to ask.

“Did you really study what you said in your first practice? ”

“Yes, I am. ”

It was an unshakeable answer, but Professor Choi did not understand.

And that wasn't the only time.

Even after hospitalization, Jinhyun often demonstrated knowledge and words that transcended his age.

Are you a genius beyond your age? ’

It's ridiculous, but no other answer comes to mind.

He looked at the problem house that Jinhyun was holding and asked.

“Studying? ”

“Ah... yes. ”

“I heard you're good at studying... Which college do you intend to go to? ”

Jinhyun replied with a shriveled face.

“First of all... I'm thinking about the University of Korea. ”

“Yeah, it goes well with you. Which specialty would you like to go to? ”

“… I intend to support a medical school. ”

“Yes?”

Professor Choi's eyes deepened.

Jinhyun trembled.

“Why do you do that? ”

“I really want to go to Korea University of Medicine... and be my disciple. ”

“ ……! ”

“Why, no? ”

Jinhyun hurriedly shook his head.

“Oh, no. I don't hate it... It's too sudden... ”

“I think you can be a great doctor who saves lives. I'll see you when I get in. ”

Professor Choi went to the infirmary to talk about it.

Jinhyun had a hard look.

Be a disciple? ’

The greatest circle of disciples did not simply mean a student relationship with a medical school professor, but wanted to bring him to the same specialty to teach and raise him as an apprentice.

My father spoke in a suspicious voice about his son's dislike tone.

“You're a good professor, don't you like it? I think it would be good for you to be a life-saving doctor like Professor Choi.... ”

“That's good, too... I have a medical major I want to do separately. ”

“What is it?”

A life-saving doctor.

A doctor who serves others.

Very good. Very good. It is the life he sought in the past.

But... I wanted to live a different life this time.

“Dermatology.”

* * *

Late at night, Jin left the infirmary.

It's the weekend. I plan to sleep at the hospital today.

“He doesn't like ICU patients, sir! ”

“I'm on my way! ”

The doctor and nurse passed him with an urgent expression.

When I look busy, I think of an old idea and I feel refined.

He came out of the lobby and looked up at the night sky.

‘A life-saving doctor... I worked really hard before. ’

I smiled bitterly.

Seeing the darkness without a star, Soju and cigarettes were pulled.

He really liked alcohol and cigarettes in the past. I loved drinking and smoking as well as playing.

At the end of the shooter, he went to medical school and now he thinks his life is over, mistakenly all doctors are successful, and when he can't adapt to difficult medical studies, he drinks and smokes to relieve stress.

‘At that time, even though the house was difficult, I thought graduation would solve everything. The doctors know they're all making money. It was an absurd illusion.’

Then he came to his senses when he accidentally died in the resident's first year.

Fortunately, Yuyamuya passed away without being sued, but he was pathetic and couldn't stand it. I wanted to die.

So I desperately tried.

I tried and tried to vomit blood because I realized that ignorance and incompetence were sins.

After so many years, he gained recognition for his outstanding skills and was given the opportunity to work at the country's best large hospitals, but was eventually driven out of competition by a number of external factors, irrespective of his abilities.

Then, as the back drifted away, one business was thoroughly destroyed and eventually fell into a recession.

‘I won't live like that this time. ’

A good Gangnam dermatologist.

It was the goal of this life.

This time it will be successful both socially and monetary.

So I will take a Porsche, buy a building... I will live a life that is not envious.

“Huh...? ”

However, Jinhyun, who had fallen into contemplation, frowned. I saw a surprising figure.

Anomaly?

I blinked my eyes, but it was obvious.

It was a chaotic key, a model-like face, and an idealist.

‘Why are you here at this hour? ’

I was talking to someone in a doctor's robe, not alone.

He was a young doctor, who resembled an idealist. But if there's a difference, how thick are the facial lines?

Are you family, brother? ’

But the atmosphere was not unusual.

The conversation wasn't exactly heard from a long distance, but it was barely high, and the doctor's face, allegedly his brother, was full of branches.

Above all, he didn't look like he was wearing a mask. It was the face just before the explosion.

But it was that moment.

Pueblo!

Jinhyun was surprised.

What is it?

The doctor, who looks like his brother, punched the wrong people!

The lips of the Aboriginal peoples who fell on the floor were torn and blood was shed.

The doctor alternated.

“You're a slut! ”

Three letters were cleverly embedded in Jinhyun's ear.

The people grind their teeth and say something, but I can't hear the contents.

And the doctor turned his back and turned his robe and disappeared. Lee Mindo wiped his lips and disappeared somewhere.

“ ……. ”

I stood there and looked at him because only Jinhyun saw the surprising scene.
