Chapter 458

Angry Surgeon (458): Abnormal

Dementia (1)

“It’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s not something to be scolded for. I’m just curious.”

“I will tell you that I will not give a damn. I am Doctor Jihyun Do. He said he was a fellow in thoracic surgery.”

“Evil!”

“yes?”

“Oh no. He’s also a doctor... Hmm, it’s not bad, but he’s actually not very good at it. Compared to the other fellows, it’s normal.”

“okay.”

Jinsoo Han nodded.

Those twinkling eyes came to mind. Even when he saw himself as a person of a similar age to himself (of course, he had lived a lot longer), he showed a sufficiently humble appearance and spoke boldly at the same time.

“But he has a strong personality.”

“Personality is a real person who really knows. More than that...”

The two of them emptied and refilled their glasses as they clashed.

Professor Go continued.

“How did it look? If one director leads them, will their skills improve like the two of them?”

Professor Goh’s eyes were shining.

In fact, although the skills of the two improved dramatically, I thought it was the result of adding the talents and qualities of a doctor to learn to Jin-soo Han’s ability, rather than solely Han Jin-soo’s ability.

In other words, Professor Ko thought that Han Jin-soo added one to it.

A person’s talent cannot rise in an instant.

But what if Han Jin-soo was the one that led to that path? If so, wouldn’t that be a truly absurd ability?

“After two years as a fellow at Agu University Hospital, the basic skills will be sufficient and I can fully guide you.”

“That’s... if you put your mind to it, you can improve your skills.”

Professor Ko was very surprised, but pretended to be calm.

“That is a personal matter. Above all, actually, Dr. Do Ji-Hyun may not remember me, but I saw Dr. Do 2 years ago. He even came to me in a car with an old relationship, so it’s a bit like pretending not to know.”

“I saw you two years ago? Did the Do doctor of our hospital and the director of Daehan University Hospital ever meet?”

“Before returning to work after completing my military service, I went to a medical volunteer service in a remote area abroad for a while, and I saw a doctor there too.”

“Ah, medical service. Actually, our hospital has a rule that requires medical service at home and abroad for more than a few days out of a year, so I guess we met then. Still, it’s surprising that the Doctor can’t remember a director. If one director’s skill is good, can’t another doctor not remember it?”

“At that time, I went to work as an army surgeon, but I was only in my first year of residency, so I couldn’t even hold a scalpel. Doctor Do was a specialist back then, so he was mainly in the operating room. Of course you can’t help but remember me.”

“Heh, how ironic. If so, you may not remember. If you’re in your first year of residency in Oji, you’re no different than a handyman. If a director had held a scalpel at that time, there would have been no way he would not have remembered.”

“Anyway, even then, I learned a lot from seeing the doctor’s passion for patients.”

“I heard several times that Dr. Do even returned his vacation and went to medical service longer than the time set by the hospital, so that’s why I remember?”

“By the way, I think you said the Doctor was evil before, but why did you get that nickname?”

“Oh~. evil bari. Kuhmm, that’s... Actually, there is a rule to go to medical service, but there are people who don’t want to go, and there are people who can’t go because of circumstances, right?”

“I guess so.”

“Doctor also sells volunteer hours he has been to to such people. That’s why it has been nicknamed Akbari since before.”

“I guess you got that nickname because you made money through medical service.”

“Well, it’s not just that. Because it’s so bad.”

“It’s kind of like a nickname given to a woman.”

“I don’t know what’s going on inside, but it’s already attached, so what can I do? Anyway, then in the operation of the deputy director’s mother, will you be the second doctor for the first aid?”

“no. As scheduled, the car doctor would be better. Doc, next time the opportunity arises in the chest area, you should make a connection then.”

“Anyway... just come to our university.”

“Go into the disinfection room.”

Han Jin-soo stopped the supply of the bet he was blowing and removed his hand from the shoulder he was kneading.

‘There’s not enough time to detect any change right now. I’ll try it next time I have time.’

Han Jin-soo could have confidence that this method worked.

When I was living as Hwa-ta, I not only opened up people’s brains countless times and performed many surgeries, but also directly prescribed various prescriptions according to the aftereffects.

That’s why I knew that betting has quite beneficial effects on the brain. Moreover, since the current bet is even alive, the effect must be better.

‘After this surgery, I’ll have to do some more research on dementia. It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t put acupuncture on the meridians, but there are other ways.’

Although acupuncture is not possible, there are many legal alternatives to acupuncture as a modern surgeon who can cut a person’s flesh and inject drugs into a vein.

As the anesthetist anesthetized the patient, Han Jin-soo stopped thinking about dementia and began preparing for colorectal cancer surgery.

* * *

Numerous doctors in the observation room were watching the scene of Han Jin-soo’s surgery by stretching his neck.

No matter what anyone said, the person who focused the most was Song Seok-tae, the vice president.

“uh?”

The director, who was looking at the monitor, turned his head toward the assistant director with a slightly puzzled expression.

And he carefully opened his mouth.

“Deputy Director.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Wasn’t your mother’s operation a subtotal colectomy?”

“you’re right. It’s a subtotal colonectomy.”

“By the way, what I’m looking at now looks like a partial colectomy?”

Subtotal colon resection is performed by resecting from the distal end of the ileum to the lower part of the sigmoid colon or the rectal transition, and then anastomosis is performed by connecting cross-sections to cross-sections. Then it is to anastomosis.

Deputy Director’s mother came to the conclusion that subtotal resection, not partial resection, was necessary because cancer cells spread extensively in the transverse and descending colon.

However, Han Jin-soo was performing partial resection, not subtotal resection.

“A director said that there was a part with normal cells left.... He said he would save that part. So I told you to do it if you can.”

“You’re going to save the part with normal cells? Is that possible?”

“Actually, I can’t believe it either...”

The vice-president also showed a worried expression in his heart.

“Why didn’t you see a director cleanly excising only the part where cancer cells spread? So... I thought it might be possible.”

“Heh heh, to be able to save the normal cells between cancer cells... It’s absurd, but if you can save it... it’s an innovation in the medical world. A monster is a monster.”

“A lot of doctors have already called Dr. Han’s technique a monster.”

“okay! Well, what I’ve done so far is enough.”

Director Shin swallowed dry saliva when he saw Han Jin-soo cut off part of his colon and handed it to the intern.

If the test results of that colon tissue came out in the pathology room, you would know, but looking at Han Jin-soo’s confident hand, I felt that it was a success even without checking the results.

square. square. apart. I’m going to go to the middle of the day......

Dr. Han Jin-soo was doing an anastomosis with the cut end of the colon even though the test results had not yet been sent to the pathology room.

If the pathology test results do not come out as desired, more than that part of the anastomosis will have to be cut out. Then, having to do the same operation again is a huge burden for the patient.

But what if you’re sure of the results?

Considering the age of the patient, it is of course better to finish the operation quickly without delaying even a little bit.

Gulp.....

I could hear dry swallowing here and there.

What Dr. Shin is thinking is what other doctors are thinking.
