Chapter 8


"Oh, how did you come?"

The receptionist looked at Jin Hyun and looked puzzled.

It was strange that a cute boy, who seemed to be in his mid-teens at a cancer screening hospital, came alone.

"The pediatrics are over there."

“I did not come to see the doctor, but I came to check the test results with Kim Sang-min.”

“Mr. Kim Sangmin?”

It was my father's ham.

“Yes, I had an endoscopy at 2 pm today.”

"But you are your guardian?"

The nurse opened his eyes and asked.

So too, Jin Hyun is 17 years old.

But the face was so young that it looked much younger. How should I watch junior high school students?

However, it was discordant and cute to talk like an adult with a young appearance.

“The doctor told the adults about the test results. Don't worry too much. ”

Jinhyun was frustrated with words that seemed to be a child.

'You're more of an att. I have to get old quickly. '

In my previous life, I was often despised because of my lack of self-confidence and appearance that seemed young.

Nobody ignores him now, but he's attentively looking at him, which doesn't match his mental age.

'It's been awful for a while until it's over thirty. Do I have to wear glasses to make it look so?

Jinhyun said.

“I do it because of the test results. I would like to talk to your doctor because something is strange. ”

The nurse smiled and listened to the phone.

“My doctor is busy right now… I'll tell you once. Wait. ”

Dutu.

A man's voice was heard behind the tone.

-Hello.

“Oh, teacher? Kim Sang-min, a guardian who was tested this afternoon, wants to come and discuss the test results. ”

-Oh, I'm busy now. There was nothing special about his prosecutor, so please explain and return.

Annoying voice even Jinjin heard.

The nurse said in a sorry voice.

“The teacher is busy right now. The results were nothing special, so don't worry too much. I'll explain it in detail later with my parents. ”

Jinhyeon shook his head.

“I'm sorry I'm busy and take my time. But there is a reason to discuss the test results. Although I am young, I have the right to ask for an interview as a guardian and family member of the patient who is being treated. Please tell me again. ”

The nurse looked embarrassed.

However, Jinhyun's tone and attitude were so firm that he could not be returned as a child.

Eventually I picked up the phone.

“Me, sir? The guardian I mentioned earlier wants to see you. … . ”

-Ah, bother you. Then tell him to come in!

It was a voice full of annoyance.

Jin-hyun was in front of the office.

“Wait a moment. I'll call you soon. ”

But contrary to that, there was no news for a while.

After an hour, Jinhyun was called.

“Kim Sang-min, guardian, please come in.”

Inside, a man in his mid thirties, looking at his computer monitor, wearing a white robe.

Even though Jin-hyun came in, the man who did not take his eyes off the monitor turned his eyes.

“What is it, baby? Didn't you say protector? ”

Jinhyun said to the spooky mixed self.

"Son."

The young doctor frowned.

“Your father's test was nothing but a slight inflammation. Did you explain it to your father after the test? ”

Why bother?

“What exactly was the inflammation?”

"What?"

The doctor responded dryly, as if he told me no.

“It was chronic gastritis. It's all about your father. "

But Jinhyeon was not asking.

“Is it Erosive? Was it metaplastic? Was there any doubt about precancerous lesions? ”

The doctor looked surprised at the jargon protruding from the student's mouth.

But for a while, I thought I searched the internet.

'You know how to bother to come to know.'

The doctor purposely used the jargon.

"Typical erosive gastritis with diffuse hyperemic changes in the anntrum and the body."

The doctor stiffly looked at Jin Hyun.

Jin-hyun, however, just calmed down.

"Chebu, did you see the back wall?"

"that's… … . ”

The doctor was sick.

The posterior part of the body is where the endoscope is hard to reach. If you do not look carefully, you will not see well.

'Did you see me well?'

Jinhyun asked again.

"Is there no placebo, spontaneous bleeding, or atypical borderline findings?"

"...... !!"

The doctor's complexion was hardened.

“That's… … . ”

I didn't see it so much.

Jin Hyun's findings suggest cancer, but severe gastritis were difficult to observe.

'I don't think so ... … . '

The doctor replied, worried.

“… There was no such thing. ”

Jinhyun sighed inside.

The young doctor's words were not trusted.

"I'm sorry… Can't you show me a picture of a gastroscope? ”

The doctor, offended by his pride, looked unpleasant.

“There was really nothing you said. If you're curious about that, don't worry, stop taking care of others.

But Jin Hyun could not retreat. It is nothing but a father's life.

He was a surgeon who had seen stomach cancer patients many times before.

Endoscopy was better than anyone else.

“Please. I'm worried about my father. Please allow me to see the picture. ”

But the doctor rather told the nurse.

“Please let me in next patient.”

In a bad mood, the nurse said with a difficult look.

“That student. Do we have to see the next patient? … . ”

In the end Jinhyeon spoke strongly.

“Article 21 (2) of the current medical law states that, if required by the immediate survivor or descendant of the patient, he / she must comply with the viewing or copying of records regarding the patient. Forcing me out is a violation of medical law. ”

"......"

Doctor crumpled face

Of course, the statute that Jinhyun said must have documents that prove the immediate existence and deceit of the patient.

"I know! I'll show you the picture you want. ”

Then I clicked the mouse and zoomed in on the image.

"Come and see!"

Jinhyeon swallowed and stared at the monitor.

A red endoscope photograph was taken over the mouse.

'Top, middle, bottom… … . '

As the doctor said no, he said in a neglected voice.

“What looks red here is inflammation. Overall there was no other finding than inflammation. ”

As the doctor said. Only inflammation was seen.

'Is there really no cancer?'

But in the picture above from the middle to the top again.

Jinhyun's face hardened.

"wait a minute! Please show me this picture again for a while. ”

"What?"

“Picture 18.”

"Why is that?"

"Show me."

The doctor frowned. Moved the mouse with spooky mixed gestures.

"Look, see."

"......"

“I've seen it. Go out. ”

And the doctor tried to end the endoscopy.

By the way… At that moment, Jin Hyun's voice trembled.

"This… What is this? ”

"Huh… … ? ”

Jin-hyun said, keeping her eyes fixed in the corner of the screen.

"This… Isn't it stomach cancer? ”
