“Anyway, now I have to treat… This is a problem. ”
"...... ??"
“Treatment is possible but location is not good… I think I need to cut the whole stomach. ”
“That's so small, the whole stomach… You mean? ”
"Yes, because of the anatomy of the stomach, the cancer in that position should cut off the entire stomach."
“… It's a big surgery. ”
"Yeah."
As the doctor became heavier, the parents' faces became heavier.
I haven't had a bottle in my life. I didn't know how big the surgery was.
“No side effects?”
“Of course there are a lot of problems. It is good to cut even a little less and leave some, but… The location is not good, so it seems difficult. ”
The depth of the conversation grew deeper.
Jinhyun listened quietly.
"that… professor."
“Why however, student?”
“ESD… No, can't we cut the mucosa with an endoscope? ”
"......"
Choi's eyes widened. It was not a term coming out of high school students' mouths.
Jinhyeon hurryed around.
“I studied separately… Endoscopy does not require the use of a knife to cut the stomach, it is known that there are few side effects. Healing results are almost the same as cutting a stomach. ”
Professor Choi rewrote his glasses.
“Of course it is. But endoscopic treatment can only be applied when the stomach cancer is really shallow. And your father's wrinkling has been drawn on the endoscope, which is likely to have gastric cancer penetrating under the mucous membrane. ”
Professor Choi, who finished speaking, would not understand it anyway, but he regretted explaining this to high school students.
But the answer that came back was more spectacle.
“I think the wrinkles are shallow and the size of the lesion is so small that the probability of cancer being shallow is high. Shouldn't we try endoscopy after checking depth with endoscopy ultrasound and distant metastasis with CT? If you are deep, you can try surgical treatment again later. ”
"...... !!!"
Choi was surprised and opened his mouth slightly.
It was an incongruous behaviour, but I was surprised.
"no… How did the student do that? ”
Jinhyeon rushed to realize that he passed by.
“I studied before coming to the hospital. I'm sorry for the bad mood. ”
“… Did you study? ”
But Professor Choi was incredible.
What Jinhyeon said now comes from the mouth of a doctor who specializes in treating stomach cancer.
Appropriate clinical judgment, as appropriate, is not found in any book.
As she watched, she smiled and said.
“This boy looks like me and likes my hair! It's been a year or two since I started studying, so I won first place in the whole school! ”
My father said.
"Well, you look like me."
“Oh, father. Mother… … . ”
Jin-hyun looked embarrassed and Professor Choi was absurd.
'No matter how good your hair is, this is impossible… … . '
He talked after coughing.
“Anyway, I agree with your son. Because big surgery should be avoided. Then I will proceed as your son says, so be hospitalized. ”
***
After that, it went smoothly.
After being hospitalized, she underwent various examinations, and fortunately, there was no evidence of cancer digging deep so she could have an endoscopic procedure without cutting her stomach.
"Are you okay, Jin Hyun?"
"Yes, it will be fine."
While undergoing endoscopic treatment, Jin-hyun and her mother nervously waited for results outside.
Most of the treatments were successful, but I was worried because it was my father's work.
And 2 hours… After a long time for Jin Hyun, Professor Choi, who performed endoscopic surgery, found them.
“How are you, sir? Is that good? ”
The mother urgently asked.
Jinhyeon also waited for the answer.
Professor Choi smiled lightly.
“Healed successfully. do not worry."
"Ah… … ! Thank you."
Mother bowed his head. Jin Hyun also thanked me.
"Thank you very much."
“No. And you are… … . ”
Jin Hyun looked puzzled at the end of Choi.
"Why do you?"
But Choi shook his head trying to say something.
"no. No. ”
"......?"
After that, my father recovered smoothly.
And a few days later.
"Are you okay, Father?"
"Okay. I'm all better now, so please stop in the hospital. ”
"No. It is better to cut the stomach with surgery, but endoscopy is a big treatment so you have to take good care of your body. And I'm studying here, so don't worry about grades. ”
Jin-hyun's stubbornness shook her head.
While the rich man was talking, someone came to the bedside.
Choi was professor.
The round has come to confirm that it is recovering well without any problems.
"Is there anything like pain in my stomach?"
"Yes, that's fine."
“The final biopsy results from the endoscopy were also clear and well treated. If we have a regular inspection in the future, it will be no problem. ”
Choi, who delivered the good news, looked at Jin Hyun.
"You… … . ”
"Yeah?"
He hesitantly asked.
“Is the story you talked about at the first practice really study in a book?”
"Yes, it is."
The answer was steady, but Choi didn't understand.
And not only then.
Even after being admitted, Jinhyeon often showed ageless knowledge and deeds.
'Are you genius beyond age?'
It's ridiculous, but no other answer came to mind.
He asked Jin-hyun's collection of problems.
“Studying?”
"Ah… Yeah."
“I heard you are good at studying… Which university are you going to? ”
Jinhyun replied with a sad face.
"First… I'm thinking of Korea University. ”
“Yes, it suits you well. What major do you want to go to? ”
“… I will support medical school. ”
"okay?"
Professor Choi's eyes deepened.
Jin-hyun asked.
"Why do you?"
“I entered the College of Medicine, Hankuk University. I want to be my disciple. ”
"......"
"Why don't you?"
Jinhyeon shook his head in a hurry.
“Oh no. I don't hate it… It's so sudden… … . ”
“I think you can be a great doctor who saves lives. I'll see you again when I enter. ”
Professor Choi said that he left the room.
Jinhyun looked troubled.
'Be a disciple?'
The word "disciples" in Choi's words means not just a relationship between a medical professor and a student, but a desire to lead him to the same major to teach and raise him as an apprentice.
My father said in a mysterious voice to his son's disgust.
“I'm a good professor, but don't you? I think it would be good for you to be a life-saving doctor like Professor Choi. … . ”
“It's nice too… I have a medical major. ”
"What?"
A life-saving doctor.
A doctor who serves others.
good. Very good. It is the life he pursued in the past.
However… This time I wanted to live a different life.
"Dermatology."
***
Late at night, Jinhyeon left the room.
I'm going to sleep at the hospital today.
“I'm sick of the intensive care unit, sir!”
"I'm going now!"
The doctor and nurse passed by him in a hurry.
Seeing the busy scene reminded me of the old and became dim.
He left the lobby and looked at the night sky.
'The doctor who saves life ... I worked hard before. '
I laughed bitterly.
Seeing the darkness without a starlight, shochu and cigarettes drew in a while.
In the past he loved alcohol and tobacco. I liked drinking and smoking as well as playing.
At the end of the shooter, I went to medical school, knew that my life was over, and all doctors misunderstood that I was successful.
'At that time, even if the house was difficult, I knew everything would be solved if I graduated. The doctor knows how to make all the money. It was a ridiculous mistake. '
Then he woke up when his patient died in the first year of his residency.
Fortunately Yuyamuya was not sued but she could not stand it. I wanted to die.
So desperately tried.
Since I realized that ignorance and incompetence are sins, I tried and tried with the heart to vomit blood.
Years later, he gained an excellent ability to be recognized by anyone, and he was given the opportunity to work at Daeil Hospital, the best in Korea.
And the practitioner, like a back, was thoroughly destroyed and eventually fell to hell.
'I will not live like this time.'
An excellent dermatologist in Gangnam.
This was my goal in life.
This time it will succeed both socially and financially.
So buy a Porsche, buy a building… I will live a decent life and filial piety.
"Huh… … ? ”
But Jinhyun was frowned upon by frowning. I saw an unexpected figure.
'Lee Sang-min?'
I blinked my eyes, but it was obvious.
Her tall height, her face looks like a model, and Lee Sang-min.
'Why are you at this time?'
I was talking to someone in a doctor's gown, not alone.
It was a young doctor who looked like Lee Sang-min. But if there is a difference, the line is thick?
'Family? older brother?'
But something was not so bad.
It was a long time ago that I couldn't hear exactly what was said, but sometimes the castle was coming, and the doctor's face, presumed to be an older brother, was full of branches.
Lee Sang-min did not look like a usual mask. It was just before bursting.
But that was the moment.
Fuzzy!
Jinhyeon was surprised.
'what?'
The doctor who looks like a brother punched Lee Sang-min!
Lee Sang-min's lips fell to the floor and blood was flowing.
The doctor went to work.
"Sloppy!"
Three letters are clearly embedded in Jin's ears.
Lee Sang-min said what he said, but the contents were not heard.
The doctor turned his back and fluttered his gown. Lee Sang-min wiped his lips and disappeared somewhere.
"......."
Jinhyun, who witnessed the unexpected scene, stood up and watched.
