Chapter 512

Surgeon who became angry (512):

Increased abduction board (1)

Choi Ik-soo, director of the hospital, clicked on the test results to enlarge the screen and took a closer look.

“Heh, that’s amazing! Even though I don’t know much about acupuncture... such a noticeable change!”

“One of my friends who practiced oriental medicine asked me about the effect of acupuncture, and he said that although it can induce a gradual improvement, it cannot cause temporary changes like this.”

“I guess so. As far as I know, so. After all, Dr. Han Jin-su’s acupuncture is amazing!”

“I heard from a Chinese medicine doctor named Eul Yan-kyung that Professor Hwajeong of Peking Medical University, who is called the highest peak of Chinese medicine in China, asked me to teach him. Of course, I thought it was just empty talk, but it doesn’t seem like it.”

“Isn’t it the name of Professor Huazheng of Peking Medical University who refused to serve as the chief physician of President Jioping?”

“Does the director know that too?”

“Heo, Chinese medicine and oriental medicine are in a different field from ours, but how can I not understand that? Anyway, I can’t believe it, but looking at the results of this test, it makes sense!”

“Anyway, I’ll have to call director Han Jin-soo more often and build a friendship.”

“In case of a dangerous patient like this one, call the director Han Jin-soo if possible.”

It occurred to me that the mortality rate of patients could be significantly reduced by doing so.

“All right.”

* * *

Whoa~.

A long sigh escaped Mel Gibbs’ mouth as he boarded the plane back to Canada.

‘At that time, if Dr. Han Jin-soo had not come in and put acupuncture... would the patient have died? did he live? Probably dead!’

In my head, I kept thinking of the scene where Han Jin-soo placed acupuncture needles to make the patient’s heart beat, even controlling the rate of beating.

Even thinking about it now makes me dizzy.

Of course, there have been cases where patients have died after surgery, but it was a situation that people who were foreigners and experts in the medical field were watching.

If it wasn’t for Han Jin-soo, I would have been really embarrassed.

‘By the way, Dr. Han Jin-soo said he would come whenever I proposed a collaboration, but would he come?’

The reason I flew from Canada to Korea was to see Han Jin-soo’s technique in person. However, because of the desire to be conceited, he underwent surgery himself.

As a result, other doctors complained, and it seemed that Han Jin-soo had hatred.

However, Han Jin-soo said that he would be happy to help other doctors as well as himself whenever they needed help.

In order to bring Han Jin-soo from Korea to a country like Canada, the U.S., or Australia for surgery, he had to pay a lot of money, but his VIP patients and other doctors’ VIP patients couldn’t spare that kind of money. Moreover, since there is already a history of having undergone surgery on Chinese President Jiopyeong, everyone would welcome it with open arms if Han Jin-soo was called and allowed to undergo surgery.

‘Elma is a patient I can’t be sure of... I think there will be good results if we call Dr. Han Jin-soo and collaborate. I’ll have to call Elma when I get to the airport.’

Elma Maria is a patient who underwent heart valve replacement surgery about a decade ago.

As time passes, the lifespan of the replacement valve is coming to an end, so the valve must be replaced with a new one, but since it is an elderly patient over 70 years old, it was questionable whether he would be able to endure the surgery that took several hours.

As soon as the plane arrived at the airport, I immediately called Elma Maria and explained how great a doctor named Han Jin-soo was and asked if I could propose a collaboration.

Elma Maria gladly agreed, saying money was not an issue.

“...then I’ll contact Dr. Han Jin-soo to arrange the surgery and then contact you again.”

-yes.

Mel Gibbs hung up the phone and called Jinsu Han right away.

“hello. Are you Dr. Han Jin-soo? This is Mel Gibbs.”

-ah! You’re Doctor Mel Gibbs. Did you arrive in Canada well?

“Yes, we have arrived at the airport now.”

―It must have been hard because it was a long flight, right?

“Well, the seats were good, so it wasn’t that hard. By the way, if I suggested a collaboration, you said you would accept it anytime, right?”

-Ah yes.

“One of my patients underwent heart valve replacement surgery about 10 years ago, and this time I have to undergo a reoperation. Can we collaborate?”

―How old is the patient?

“I am 71 years old...”

When Dr. Mel Gibbs explained the patient’s age and concerns about the surgery, Han Jin-soo thought for a moment and replied that he would perform the operation.

“Then when can you come to Canada?”

Attorney Bum Kim of Solomon, one of the three largest law firms in Korea, was a judge of the High Court until last year. Therefore, regardless of the case this year, the judge in charge will make a decision in his favor as a courtesy to the former officer.

“nice to see you. This is Kim Beom from Solomon.”

“Yeah, I’ll see you for the first time too. I am Han Jin-soo, the director of a hospital.”

Attorney Beom Kim looked at Han Jin-soo with a slightly confused expression while exchanging greetings.

It was the law firm’s policy to entrust the defense of a chaebol or a high-ranking politician, at least to himself. But today, at the request of the CEO, the person in charge of the case was Han Jin-soo.

He knew that Han Jin-soo had performed brain surgery on Chinese President Jioping because he had watched TV. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he was not a big man like he had come.

“I came because our CEO told me to take on the case of Director Han Jin-soo, but what kind of case is it?”

“Yes, I was actually at Daehan University Hospital a few days ago...”

Han Jin-soo said that he had put acupuncture on a patient dying of a heart attack at the hospital and that he had to go to the police for investigation.

“... So I did it knowing that it was illegal, so even if I saved a patient whose life was in danger, I have no intention of avoiding punishment by the law.”

After hearing Han Jin-soo’s words, Attorney Beom Kim tilted his head.

“If you have no intention of avoiding the punishment of the law, why did you bring me here?”

If the CEO of a super-large law firm was moved, of course, wouldn’t it be to avoid being punished?

“I will be punished, but there is no time for me to be summoned to the police station or prosecutor’s office until the verdict comes out.”

“If the person concerned acknowledges the fact of the violation and seeks leniency, it is not that complicated and the extenuating circumstances are sufficient, so I think a small fine would be enough. At the most, it would be about a month of license suspension.”

In the eyes of Attorney Beom Kim, this was a very simple matter that would be prosecuted in summary and the judge would end it with a summary judgment.

It’s not something he would have to step into, but since the CEO asked for it, he had no choice but to step in, and if he did, he would end up with a fine.

“By the way, you seem to be running a small private hospital, so why are you so busy?”

Attorney Beom Kim asked a question with the intention of criticizing why he called me when he would just hire a local lawyer for such a trivial matter.

“I actually have two surgeries scheduled this weekend, one in Canada and one in the US. Both are very dangerous surgeries where the patient’s life or death is at stake, so I thought I’d have to wait and see what happens after the surgery.”

Attorney Kim Beom’s eyes, which had been making an expressionless expression for a moment, changed as if they were absurd.

“Canada and America?”

There are quite a few acquaintances around him who are doctors. There are private hospitals, professors at general hospitals, and even friends who have risen to the position of vice president.

Even when I talked to them, it was really the first time that a Korean doctor went to the United States or Canada to perform surgery.

‘I’ve heard of patients going and getting surgery, but is this guy a bit bluffing?’

Attorney Beom Kim asked, feeling frustrated inside.

“I’m sure you didn’t go alone and did it..... Did you call them over there? If it’s urgent...”

“Ah yes. Canada has a doctor named Mel Gibbs and America has a doctor named Dil Dawson. It’s quite famous here...but it’s a name you’re not familiar with.”

Han Jin-soo humbly replied.

He also did not know the name of a famous foreign lawyer. No, I don’t even know the name of a famous Korean lawyer. I only know about the river** that sometimes appears on TV.

So, of course, I thought that Attorney Beom Kim wouldn’t know...

“Mel Gibbs Dil Dawson?”

Attorney Beom Kim’s eyes widened.

“They know me well. Oh no, I mean I only know the name. You’re very famous. Such people are calling..... Ah! Of course, director Han Jin-soo is as famous as them. Anyway, you are great.”

“It’s not that great, it’s just my situation. I want the lawyer to do some hard work as a legal representative when I am not there.”

“Don’t worry. If Director Han Jin-soo says he’s seeking leniency, it’s only to the point of being fined a few pennies...” ”

No, Mr. Lawyer. I hired a lawyer to avoid wasting my time, not to avoid being punished. Furthermore, mercy is to be sought when you think you have done something wrong, not when you do not think that you have done something wrong.”

“yes?”

“I have committed a violation of the law, but I do not have the slightest idea that I have done anything wrong. So please do it properly.”

Hearing Han Jin-soo’s words, Attorney Beom Kim tilted his head again.

“That means... that you are claiming innocence... you say...”

Attorney Beom Kim stuttered for a moment before adding.

“If you do that, you could end up getting your driver’s license suspended. Can I interpret it to mean that it’s okay?”

If the judge saw it and thought it was outrageous, he could have applied the offense of offense and hit the sentence excessively. If you claim your innocence despite knowing the fact that it is illegal, it is a shameful crime.

“I don’t want to get my license suspended either. However, if you follow the law and get such a judgment, you have to rest during the license suspension period. So, please do things legally.”

“Well, if the client really wants it, I’ll do it, but I don’t know why they called me.”

“Haha, don’t be too upset. Actually, I asked for a favor, but I didn’t expect someone like Solomon Law Firm’s lawyer Beom Kim to come.”
