56 56. Physicians. Reason (4)

“Oh my... this. ”

A pecky, odorless liver.

It was a typical form of liver cirrhosis. But that was not the problem.

An unidentified hump was invading the liver almost throughout the liver.

10 cm is an enormous size that looks beyond.

“HCC (liver cancer) ……. ”

Jinhyun groaned.

Liver cancer.

It was also a massive liver cancer that could not be treated.

It involves all major blood vessels and should have been seen as end-stage liver cancer with distant metastases of this magnitude.

And then, the nurse said,

“Kim Jin-hyun, look at this. I got an emergency blood test. ”

After checking the computer, Jinhyun frowned again.

“Eczema 48, clotting 4.3?"

It should be seen that if the jaundice count is 48 and the coagulation count is 4.3, there is very little liver function left.

In this case, the patient may die within a few days… No, perhaps within today.

‘Oh my..... ’

I felt something bad.

* * *

She contacted Internal Medicine once she had to be admitted unconditionally.

However, the internal medicine resident who was contacted expressed obfuscation.

“It's hard to get hospitalized..... ”

“Why?

“He's going to die soon anyway... I'm not sure of his identity. ”

Jinhyun understood the meaning of the word.

We cannot hospitalize homeless people who are not sure of their identity.

Because there is no one to pay.

A hospital is neither a charity nor an institution and cannot hospitalize a person who will not pay 100%.

“Got it.”

“You don't have to suffer, send it somewhere else. ”

Internal Medicine Resident said.

It sounded barbaric, but I thought of Jinhyun.

As such, if you see Jin in the emergency room wrong, all responsibility lies with Jin, the attending physician.

“You can't be wrong about a patient like this. If a guardian who didn't snore until he died shows up and asks you to take responsibility, it really hurts. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Jinhyun nodded, but which hospital would accept this patient?

If he sends you, you just drive him out to die.

‘I can't help it. ’

Comedy worryingly asked next to him.

“Jinhyun, what do you do? ”

“You should see.”

“Huh?”

Jinhyun said.

“If you don't get hospitalized, I'll take you to an emergency room. ”

“Ha, but..... ”

“There's no money, there's no guardian, there's no right to treatment. ”

Hye Mi kept her mouth shut in a calm voice.

* * *

After that, Jin Hyeon did his best to treat the ‘anonymous man’.

Use liver function protectants, enema to break the coma…….

Then, a call came from the Department of Public Works.

Kim Jin-hyun intern? It's the Department of Public Affairs.

“Yes.”

I'm calling because of an anonymous patient you're currently on.

“What's going on?

There are several drugs in there right now... It's the damage to the family hospital where the patient has no guardian and no I.D.

“Does that mean you shouldn't use drugs? ”

I didn't mean that, but I called to tell you that it was 100% hospital damage. Maybe Kim Jin-hyun has a problem.

In the end, it means don't use drugs.

It was Gigi's phone.

The situation in the hospital doesn't make any sense... But Jinhyun sighed.

“Let's hear that story once you get better. Then I'll hang up because I'm busy.

Uh, sir? Teacher?

Tou tou

Jinhyun closed his phone.

It's really hard.

"That doesn't mean you can't do the treatment. ’

He approached an anonymous patient.

A convex sprung ship.

"Damn it."

That was what his father looked like in his previous life when he was battling for late stage gastric cancer.

Cancer cells spread throughout the peritoneum, filling the stomach with water endlessly.

At that time, his house was inclined, and at the end he was forced to watch him go back into distress without any proper treatment.

Jinhyun, remembering what he was doing at the time, could not be thrown out like this.

But at that time, was it because of Jinhyun's qualities?

A patient who kept unconscious opened his eyes.

“Ugh... This is...? ”

“Are you awake? ”

Jinhyun was surprised.

“Ugh……. ”

It was not clear, but it was definitely in better consciousness.

“Please save me……. ”

The patient lost consciousness again at the end of the speech.

Jinhyun held the patient's hand.

“Got it.”

* * *

Even after 24 hours of work, the night bird couldn't go in to rest.

because the patient was in poor condition.

Of course, his appointment with Hye-mi and Lee Yeon-hee was postponed indefinitely.

“You need to rest, Jinhyun. ”

Comedy said with a worried face.

Jinhyun opened his eyes.

“It's all right. I slept in med school earlier. ”

“How long?”

“Well... an hour? ”

Comedy looked upset.

“Don't worry. You'll do this a lot later when you majored in internal medicine. ”

“That's when. I'm upset if you can't sleep. ”

Jin-hyun laughed.

“Thank you. You go get some rest. ”

Is it because of Jinhyun's efforts?

The patient increasingly improved increasingly.

Soon after, the patient finally regained consciousness enough to have a normal conversation.

It was a miracle.

“Stan, sir... Thank you. I've lived thanks to you. ”

Jinhyun smiled.

“No, I'm glad I'm feeling better. ”

“Really… thank you very much. ”

Originally, when hepatic coma was severe, the patient seemed to have a surprisingly rough memory.

He thanked Jinhyun for his elongation.

“But how did you fall? ”

The patient sighed deeply in response to the question.

“My name is Sung-min Kim. ”

The patient who opened the door briefly told his story.

It's a story that's nothing different.

After a few years of honorary retirement from work, he became indebted and became homeless, separated from his family, and became hepatocidal.

It's a sad story that I've lived hard on my own, but it's too plain to fail.

Why can't the world just live hard enough?

“Sir, I can't live long, can I? ”

“ ……. ”

Jinhyun kept his mouth shut.

miraculously improved, but only a temporary improvement.

It almost got worse again soon. It was medically unavoidable.

The man laughed powerlessly.

“It's okay, tell me the truth. ”

“… it will be difficult for a long time. ”

“I see.”

Is it because he's already intuitive? The man was not agitated.

“Sir, I have a favor to ask. ”

“What is it?”

“Actually, I have a son... I only want to see him once before I die... Is it possible? ”

“Are you in contact? ”

“Once last time……. ”

“Did you say you were coming? ”

The man didn't answer.

Jinhyun guessed the situation.

The blood is thicker than anything else in the world, but without basic money, the blood balance is often not maintained.

It was sad, but that was the reality.

However, Jinhyun replied.

“Yes, you will. I'll do that.”

* * *

One day, two days…….

The man kept improving.

Others in the emergency room looked at Kim Jin-hyun, a monster intern.

However, Jinhyun shook his head.

‘It's just a temporary improvement. ’

There is a word for "anti-Semitism."

This means that the sun is shining strongly temporarily just before sunset, which also happens in the actual medical field.

Now the man's condition is close to that of a circus.

It was a late dawn when I was looking at another patient.

“Teacher Jin-hyun Kim!! ”

The emergency room nurse called out to him with an urgent face.

“Patient Seongmin Kim vomited blood!!! ”

“ ……! ”

Jinhyun jumped into the position of patient Sung-min Kim.

And he was surprised.

The bed, of course, was completely turned into a bloodbath.

“Shush, shush……. ”

The man vomiting elongated blood had his eyeballs turned white.

“How's your blood pressure? ”

“50/30.”

The summit is about 120, so it fell horribly.

Jinhyun quickly placed an order.

“Please put the fluids in as soon as possible. Put up the blood, the liver cancer, the varicose vein hemorrhage with cirrhosis, the SB (SengstakenBlakemore) tube and the vasoconstrictor. ”

Nurses were astonished at the gapless order coming out of the mouth of a resident who had experienced a lot of critical care.

Jinhyun also knows that his order is not at the level of an intern, but it is not the time to pick it up.

If your blood pressure drops further, you die.

During the nurse's treatment, Jinhyun tried to hemostasize by pushing a thick SB (SengstakenBlakemore) tube through the patient's nose to the esophagus.

“Make the transfusion quick. ”

“Yes, sir!! ”

By sunset, the patient had barely found stability thanks to his hanging all morning long.

No, it's not stable.

Blood pressure was held, but the consciousness was coma. But luckily, the blood seemed to have stopped.

‘I have to do an endoscope. It's hard right now. ’

Jinhyun shook his head.

But then I got a call that wasn't a pleasure.

It was the Chief of Staff who calls several times a day these days.

Kim Jin-hyun, I'm the Chief of Staff. Can you come to the Department of Public Works now?

Jinhyun frowned.

This is the first time the Chief of Staff has called in person.

He took off his bloody gloves and headed to the department of civil affairs.

The bald Chief of Staff frowned when he saw Jinhyun.

“Sit down. I called because of a homeless patient. ”

“What's going on? ”

“You're asking because you don't know? Do you have any idea how much damage the hospital has done so far? Plus, this morning, we're transfusing SB tubes and vasoconstrictors. Do you know how much that is? ”

The Chief of Staff threatened him with a grudge.

“It's no longer acceptable. ”

“ ……. ”

Jinhyun was silent for a while and opened his mouth.

“All right, I won't do any more harm to the hospital. ”

The Chief of Staff's face was brightened.

“I thought about it. Fast discharge speed……. ”

Then Jin-hyun put something rough on the table.

It was a credit card

The Chief of Staff opened his eyes wide.

“What does this mean? ”

“How much?”

“Yes?”

“How long have you been out? Calculate with this.”

“ ……! ”

The Chief of Staff stuttered.

“This, this... can't be. In this case, so far… there is no small amount. ”

But Jin Hyun said just cut it off.

“This is my money. I'll write it myself. ”

He worked hard after the regression, and the money he invested was blown one day and now it's close to two billion.

It didn't matter how little money I spent because of the woman in the upper house ().

“If you don't have enough, tell me. ”

The Chief of Staff kept his mouth shut like a mute.

* * *

I'm from the Department of Public Works, and this time the chief mischief called him.

“Kim Jin-hyun, let's talk for a second. ”

“ ……? ”

Jinhyun was tired.

I don't know how many days I haven't slept.

The Orthodox led him to the shabby Medicine House.

“What's going on? ”

Zhongseok looked at Hyun with a heavy face.

“Stop it.”

“Yes?”

“Stop treating him. ”

“ ……! ”

It wasn't just rhetoric.

Oh Hyung-seok said with concern.

“He's got to get worse anyway. It's not good for you to die in a hospital like this. Take a vow of self-discharge and let him go. ”

“But……. ”

“Is that because of the son the patient told you about? ”

The chief, Zhang Yuk, also knew the approximate circumstances.

“You know as well as I do, do you really think his son will come? ”

“ ……. ”

“If you were coming, you'd be here already. My son's not coming. ”

He was right.

My son won't come. Probably.

“The professors at the Department of Emergency Medicine, of course, have seen a lot of bad things up there. Get him out of here before he gets caught. If I get my discharge and get discharged, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Jinhyun kept his mouth shut.

An uncomfortable silence passed between the two.

“Decide quickly. ”

Jinhyun said calmly.

“... You can't let them die in the street, can you? ”

“What?”

Jinhyun looked into the eyes of the Orthodox.

“This is an outrageous question… but why did you become a doctor? ”

“ ……! ”

The eyes of the Orthodox Stone were shaken. That's why I became a doctor...

He was a doctor because he wanted to do something to save the patient.

After entering medical school, I was beaten to death.

Jinhyun said.

“I came to medical school with a great skill score. The only reason I wanted to be a doctor was to make money. ”

Jinhyun recalled his previous life.

Yeah, he became a doctor to make money.

And that was no different in this life.

“I'm still struggling to make money. I want to make a lot of money, not just make the right amount of money. ”

“ ……. ”

Jinhyun said with a bitter expression.

“But... but... no matter how much you try to make money... aren't you a doctor? I want to be the best doctor I can be, not least for the patients I see. ”

“ ……!! ”

The eyes of the Orthodox rock fluctuate.

Jinhyun lowered his head.

“Thank you for your concern. I apologize for talking over the topic. Let's get out first.”

And Jinhyun left the country.

The words left by Jin Hyeon on the chest of the remaining Orthodox Stone are stuck like rubble.
