Medical Return

150. Longevity (3)

I always felt it, but the years were fast.

Jinhyun became a mid-40s student and his precious son Gyeongtae became a junior high school student.

He was still busy and had a successful life.

I had too many people to find and too much work to do, so I couldn't rest properly.

However, he tried to spend a lot of time with his family because he knew that it was more important than a successful life.

“I'm ready. Let's eat.”

Comedy brought out Kim Chi Chi Chi.

“Well……. ”

Jinhyun took Suzer to his mouth, then moaned.

Comedy frowns.

“Why?"

“Just……. ”

“Not good again? I told you not to eat dinner. ”

“No, it's delicious. ”

Jinhyun hit Sonsaray.

Married to a comet, everything is happy, but there is one unfortunate thing.

Comedy's cooking skills.

No matter how hard you try, you don't get better.

‘Isn't it talent you can't do this? How can you not be better at trying? ’

Well, it's just a useless lament.

“What about Kyung-tae?”

“He doesn't eat. ”

“Why?"

“I don't know. He's not feeling well. ”

“But you have to eat. ”

“If you're hungry, you'll come out and eat. Leave it alone.”

Jinhyun thought, eating cooked rice and minty stew.

Maybe you don't eat because your food isn't good, do you?

It's a fairly probable story.

He didn't want to eat either.

Hye-mi sighed.

“Baby, we're going to medical outreach next week, right? ”

“Yeah, why? ”

He went on a small outreach trip to a medical outpost about once a year.

It wasn't for the promotion of the hospital, it was just a coincidence that it was so rewarding that I was secretly doing it regularly.

“Won't you take Gyeongtae with you? ”

“The Bible?”

“Yeah, it's vacation time. She's a doctor of hope. I also need a volunteer score, so I think it would be good to go out and do volunteer work together. When you get to the island, you can come play with the water. ”

Volunteering with my son.

Of course I am in favour.

Jinhyun gladly nodded.

* * *

This outreach venue was a remote island on the west coast where boats had to go for a long time in the palace.

Originally, Daejeon Hospital operated several large outreach groups to promote and improve its image.

However, Jinhyun's service was not such a large service.

I'm just sneaking in with some of the healthcare professionals I like.

The hospital outreach team has repeatedly asked to massively propagate Jinhyeon's volunteer work, but has shaken its head.

‘Publicity will certainly have a big effect. ’

The director of the number one hospital in the country, it was also a recognized volunteer service in exchange for the best in the world, so it was clear that promoting it would be a tremendous advertising effect.

‘But this is just personal. ’

To be precise, this was an authentic individual holiday to soothe a weary daily life.

Like the story that volunteers gain greater peace of mind than their opponents when they serve, Jinhyun often comes back with comfort of mind.

I was working hard enough for the Great Hospital, so I didn't want to link this to public relations until the holidays.

“Nice weather. ”

Yellow Moon Jin stood on the boat deck smiling.

He was one of the healthcare staff who was always happy to work with Jinhyun.

There is no one around but Jin Hyun. He puts his horse at ease.

“Are you going with your son's attitude? ”

“Yeah, I wanted to be a doctor. ”

Yellow Moon Jin looks jealous at the handsome son of Jinhyun who is looking at the sea from the front of the deck.

“That's a wonderful little girl. My son only plays games all day. Who they look like. ”

“Who do they look like? It resembles you.”

Jinhyun laughed.

Middle school... No, until high school, Yellow Moon Jin was a game freak. The grades were horrible.

“What, you were nothing like me until middle school. Did I get a better grade? You're the second one. ”

Jin Hyeon laughed at the words.

“Yes, you're right. We both sucked. ”

Yellow Moon Jin also smiled.

It's all from the old memories.

“Let's go get a drink after volunteering. I brought you a good drink. ”

“What?”

“Valentine's Day 30 years. ”

Jinhyun smiled.

“Good. Let's have a drink. Sleep well.”

“Why? You've been drinking since you were a kid. Don't you think it's time for a drink? ”

“Would you give your son a drink? ”

The sea breeze was fresh.

This volunteer work seemed to be a good thing.

* * *

The volunteer work lasted two nights and three days.

On the first day, I borrowed the largest village hall on the island, and on the second day, I visited elderly people who were uncomfortable with their behavior and took care of them myself.

“My stomach hurts so much all the time these days... my stomach hurts... and the new water comes over... ”

Islanders who do not usually receive medical benefits are swarming with you about the arrival of volunteers from the country's top major hospitals.

“I will give you gastric acid inhibitors because of the possibility of gastroesophageal reflux or ulcers. If your symptoms continue to get worse after taking the medicine, you will need an endoscopic examination, so go out to the city for an examination. ”

Coming to medical care is not a great medicine.

Due to the limitations of equipment and medicines, that can still help a lot.

His son Gyeongtae sat next to him and observed Jinhyun's practice.

“Isn't that hard? ”

“It's okay.”

What a wonderful son.

I'm not thinking about being a father, I'm handsome, I don't have any problems with other people, I have deep thoughts, and I have good grades.

He is a much better son than he always did in middle school.

“If it's hard, go in and rest. ”

“It's okay.”

The notion that the dream resembled the father was that Jin Hyeon's practice was one eye, and Jin Hyeon also had strength on her shoulders.

It's what my son does in front of his eyes. Where can I be more proud of myself?

After a day like that, I went to sleep at the place I had set up in town.

“Cool……. ”

Whether he was tired or tired, Gyeongtae fell asleep right out of his nose, and Jin looked at him with a smile.

And lying down and trying to get some sleep, he woke up again because he couldn't sleep strangely.

‘I can't sleep. Do you want to go out for a minute? ’

He put up the blanket that his son had kicked back, and then came out.

It's summer, but it's an island, and the night breeze is cold.

Still, I felt refreshed and didn't feel bad.

“Let's take a little walk in. ”

I took a night stroll along the seaside with a flashlight.

Splash and snap.

I was calm when I heard the serene waves on the shore where no one was.

He was intoxicated by the atmosphere of the night sea and continued to walk.

But how long have you walked like that?

“Huh?”

Jinhyun opened his eyes wide.

There was a shabby house where people didn't expect to live.

“Is this where people live? ”

He lights the flashlight without thinking.

But it was that moment.

“ ……! ”

Jinhyun was surprised.

Suddenly a man appeared!

In the back, a homeless, skinny man was staring at her.

The front head and beard were hot, so I didn't know the exact look.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be special. ”

“ ……. ”

But the man had no answer.

‘Are you upset? ’

It may be so.

An unidentified outsider snorted around his house.

I'm going to apologize again... The man enters the house like a ghost.

“What..... ”

Jinhyun nodded.

I've never seen him before and I feel strange.

“Have you met anyone before? ”

It can't be.

There's no way he's ever met anyone who lives on this island before.

He shook his head and returned to the lodge.

* * *

On the second day, I went to the royal camp with my mother.

I primarily looked after lonely elderly people without a caregiver, and I took a number of actions that were limited.

“How was your outreach? ”

Jinhyun asked at the end of the second day.

“That was good.”

“What's wrong? Why? ”

“Just……. ”

Gyeongtae avoided the answer because he was embarrassed to say how he felt and Jinhyun smiled.

“Why do you want to be a doctor? The doctor is tough.”

Jinhyun has never suggested the path of a doctor to his son.

It is worthwhile dealing with life, but I know the hard way.

But Gyeongtae dreamed that he wanted to become a doctor even though no one had suggested it.

“I just... I wanted to live my dad's life. ”

Jinhyun opened his eyes wide.

“Like Dad? ”

“Yes, life for others. ”

Jin-hyun's chest was slightly twisted.

Where can you make your father as rewarding as being respected by your son?

It was hard, but it wasn't a futile life.

“Come on, just a little more spin and it's over. ”

“Yes.”

and made the last visit to the patient.

He was a severely cranky patient with uncomfortable behavior, and I was curious to see his wounds.

“Elder.”

The old man replied with a toothless mouth.

“Huh?”

“Have you ever been treated for this wound? ”

It was a very bad greed, but the necrotic part was neatly organized.

“Ah... the doctor on the island treated me a few days ago. ”

“Doctor?”

Jinhyun nodded.

Doctor? Was there a doctor on this island? I don't think so.

“Hey... there's a doctor on the east coast. ”

“East coast? ”

“Yes. I'm an outsider who came to the island a few years ago, and I don't know if I'm actually a doctor. I have a bad feeling, but sometimes if there's an urgent patient on the island, get him treated. ”

“ ……. ”

Jinhyun kept his mouth shut.

Eastern seafront, ugly hangouts. I remembered the monster I met last night.

You mean you were a doctor? Why would a doctor do that? ’

I wondered, but it is not something I would be very interested in.

‘There must be some circumstance. ’

After finishing his practice, Jinhyun walked to Gyeongtae and the residence.

Whether two days of volunteer work meant anything was the expression of feeling something.

“Dad.”

“Huh?”

“Can't you stay on the island for a few more days? ”

“Why?"

“Some people need more treatment……. ”

I was talking about some patients I saw today.

Jinhyun smiled with pride.

“Yes, I have a few more days and I play water. ”

Not necessarily, I came on extra days off to spend time with my son.

Jinhyun sent other medical staff first.

The Imperial Moon Jin left with a sad look on his face.

“I want more, too. I can't even drink the Valentine I've been prepared for. ”

I was going to drink on the last day, and suddenly I got jaundice.

“Let's drink together next time. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

“Be sure!”

But I left without a drink because I was so sad and forgot.

“What, why did you leave this? I want a drink.”

Jinhyun wore his mouth for 30 years looking at Valentine.

‘Valentine's Day 30 years. And it turns out I've been drinking a lot since high school. At the end of the exam. ’

Jinhyun kept the laughing liquor in the corner of his home.

‘Drink alone and I'll squeeze. Let's get it to you later. ’

And he had a few more days of volunteer time with his son. I'm also enjoying the sea baths.

It was rewarding times as a doctor, as a father.

* * *

However, there was a bit of a disturbance in doing volunteer work.

I continued to encounter the monster I met on the first night.

I think it's because the island is small... I don't feel so good every time I meet her because of the strange hangover.

‘Cause now I'm leaving. ’

Jinhyun thought so.

Tomorrow is the end of volunteer work.

If I leave this island, I will never see that monster again.

‘But why is it so unpleasant? ’

Jinhyun was questioned.

In fact, there was no reason to feel bad.

I don't know if I'm a real doctor with a license, but I also care about the health of the islanders.

I just felt unpleasant and bad for no reason, as if the cat had met the dog.
