Angry Surgeon (442):
What the hell is the difference? (1)
Tagak. Tagak.....
Professor Ko was operating on a patient’s affected area with specialist Choi Il-woo.
The residents and nurses who assisted by his side were not obtrusive at all, but Dr. Choi’s hand movements kept bothering me.
‘Was it originally that slow?’
Choi Il-woo was a professional doctor who was able to do housekeeping by himself without calling himself.
He’s obviously a pretty good doctor, but today his hands looked as slow as those of a tortoise.
Choi Il-woo was currently performing an anastomosis on the patient’s femoral artery.
His techniques, such as the angle of the needle piercing the artery, the stitching interval, and the depth of the needle, were impeccable everywhere. Also, his hand movements were slower than his own, but he had no superfluous skills compared to other doctors.
Nevertheless, the reason why Professor Ko feels that Choi Il-woo’s hands are slow is because Han Jin-soo’s hand movements keep overlapping with his movements.
‘Eh, what am I thinking right now..... It’s not slow, that’s normal. One Doctor was abnormally quick.’
Professor Ko focused on the surgery, trying to erase Han Jin-soo’s hand movements that kept coming to mind.
By the time the operation was over, three hours had passed.
It took only about an hour for Han Jin-soo and himself to operate on a similar patient.
When he remembered that, Professor Go shook his head.
‘No matter how bad Kim Joong-bae is, how can he kick out a talented person like a doctor from the hospital? Did you pick and kick out talented people because you didn’t get along with the director, hyung, and wanted to ruin the hospital?’
It’s a ridiculous idea, but I thought it might be because I heard that he left all the cleanup to his brother and fled abroad.

“Director, I just had lunch, so now, Director, please come and eat.”
Han Jin-soo listened to Nurse Song’s words and stood up.
“Yes, if a patient comes, call me right away.”
“yes.”
Han Jin-soo laughed bitterly at Nurse Song’s expression, saying that it couldn’t be like that at all.
One or two patients a day come in who report that they have suffered abrasions or cut their hands while cutting fruit.
Patients who can be sufficiently treated even in the nurse’s line without seeing Han Jin-soo in particular.
Of course, a few days ago, there was a patient who severely bit his tongue while eating, so Han Jin-soo had sutured it himself, but there are very few patients who have to lift the needle like that.
That’s why she makes that face.
Han Jin-soo left the hospital and went to a nearby seolleongtang restaurant to order and eat seolleongtang.
I paid by card and came out, but I saw Professor Goh’s business card, which was kept on the other side of my wallet. And next to it was the business card of a monk who was frantic in selling amulets.
“Would you like to make a phone call?”
On his way back to the hospital, Han Jin-soo took out Professor Ko’s business card, picked it up, and put it back in with a wry smile.
I told him to contact me several times, but I didn’t want to do it because of my pride.
‘It’s done. Still, when the hospital first opened, there were no patients, but now the number of patients has increased to two or three a day. Let’s wait for a few more months and ask a favor if you don’t feel like it.’
I was walking with my hands in my pockets, and when I remembered the operation I had with Professor Ko at the hermitage that day, my hands started to itch.
When he lived as a painter, he made various medicines, but it was a surprisingly poor environment how so many patients actually survived. However, when I had the surgery with Professor Ko, I had all the tools and medicines needed for the surgery, even though it was not a hospital, but a hermitage.
Because there were such things, the hand moved as if it were flying that day.
Far from being crowded, they are flying flies, but Han Jin-soo pretended to be bluffing.
“If the hospital is not doing well, I was going to call you when I was TO at our hospital, but there is no need for that!”
Han Jin-soo’s eyes fluttered for a moment at Professor Ko’s words, but soon calmed down.
“It’s only been a little over a month since it opened, but it seems like they don’t want it to happen.”
“Heh heh! Did you get my insides out? In fact, isn’t it too wasteful to be the director of a clinic hospital with your skills? No matter how many patients there are, it must be appendicitis or a hernia at most?”
The words, ‘I wish I could at least do that appendicitis or hernia surgery, please’ came up in my throat, but I tried my best to pretend to be relaxed.
Even if you have regrets, you should know how to relax.
“It’s a bit regretful that I can’t see the critically ill, but I’m a little fed up with the bad temper of the professor. Although it is small, I am satisfied with it now.”
“Kuhm Actually, my friend, the professor, was at the Daehan Hospital where you worked, so I heard about what happened to you, at least roughly. But even so, isn’t it too much of a waste to rot such skills?”
“Well, I feel rewarded as a doctor and also happy when I see the patient getting better after the surgery went well. But what can I do? We have already opened.”
“Whoa~. Let’s say that. If I had known you a little sooner, I would have brought you to our hospital as soon as you left Daehan Hospital. I’m dying of regret.”
“Haha, thank you for your words.”
When the sashimi and alcohol were served, Han Jin-soo first poured a glass into the professor’s glass and then said what he had in mind.
“By the way, Professor, if there is a patient from Garak-dong among the patients who need outpatient treatment after discharge, please introduce them.”
“Didn’t you say you were busy with a lot of patients?”
When Professor Ko made a puzzled expression, Han Jin-soo secretly hid his thoughts and relaxed.
“I’m busy, but I still want to be busier.”
“It’s not good to have too many tsk patients. I write that I pay attention, but the human mind has its limits, so when I get tired, I have no choice but to neglect it.”
“yes! That’s true, but...”
“Money is nice, but if you’re a doctor, you have to focus on each patient rather than money. Isn’t it?”
Seeing a slight hint of disappointment on Professor Ko’s face, Han Jin-soo thought he shouldn’t say anything regrettable anymore.
If they were close friends, they would reveal their true feelings, but they still needed to be moderately pretentious.
“That’s right. I guess I was greedy for a while.”
“I don’t think you’re tired now that you’re young, but mornings are different even when you’re in your 40s. You have to conserve and manage your stamina for a long run.”
“I will keep in mind what the professor said.”
Han Jin-soo dipped the sashimi in chojang and ate it, thinking that he should do this for today and promise the next time.
Professor Ko was just about to have a drink when his cell phone rang.
Professor Go checked the caller on his cell phone and slightly frowned.
“uh? What’s the manager doing? I’ll take a call from a doctor.”
“Yes, don’t worry about me and go ahead and take it.”
“Yes, Director..... Yes? Director Wo’s grandson is injured! Ha But I’m far away now..... This is Garak-dong. A few days ago, I was meeting a junior with excellent skills. yes? Do you want me to come with you? But he’s not our hospital doctor..... Oh, I see. yes yes. If you say yes, I will. yes yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Professor Go opened his mouth to Han Jin-soo with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“The director’s grandson got into a serious car accident and is now being taken to the hospital. Hey... can you go with me?”
“yes?”
Han Jin-soo made an absurd expression for a moment.
Although he has not yet drunk, Professor Ko must have left work, not on standby, given that he was given a drink to follow. Usually, doctors who leave work are not called.
In addition, when I listened to the contents of the phone call, they said that it would be good to bring him to the surgery, but it is not that Agu University Hospital does not have a doctor, and I do not know how Professor Ko introduced himself to the director, but he called a doctor from another hospital when his grandson was seriously injured I was just puzzled by the idea of doing it.
