Patients with angina are prescribed with medication for a smooth blood supply.
Patient Lee Byunchol was prescribed with one of those medicines.
Suhyuk approached the grandpa and got worried for a moment.
How could he explain so he could understand it?
"Grandpa, you do not feel the blood passing through your neck, right?"
Well, I guess blood doesn't come out anymore." At this Suhyuk smiled a bit.
"You have been prescribed angina pills at True Hospital, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
"The prescribed angina pills contain ingredients that dilute the blood. Do you know what an aspirin is?" He nodded as if he now recognized it.
"You mean white pills, right?"
"Yes, well you know that. Aspirin can cause the blood in your body to circulate very well, but aspirin can cause problems, If you get hurt, blood doesn't stop. That's why blood was coming out from your nose."
The grandpa's eyes grew bigger.
"So, I should not take angina pills anymore?"
Suhyuk shook his head, saying "For the time being, you can take medicine except for the ingredient of aspirin."
He had to take only the medicine containing the anticoagulant until bleeding was completely stopped and the wound was wounded.
When the grandfather nodded, Suhyuk opened his mouth again, "As you shed too much blood, I think I need to get the sap."
Even if he had the sap, it was necessary to watch his condition for several hours.
"If you get sap, it will be late. So, will you call a guardian?"
The grandfather shook his head. His wife and children at home. He didn't make them worried.
"Can I call outside and come back?"
As he is in the emergency room, they might notice it.
Smiling, Suhyuk nodded his head.
"Yes, go ahead sir!."
So my grandfather made a phone call and came back.
Suhyuk immediately put a ringer needle on his arm and asked, "Grandpa, do you smoke?"
"That is my pleasure."
"Smoking is not very good for people with angina pectoris, so I think it would be better if you quit. For the sake of your family."
The grandfather nodded his head.
"Do you usually exercise?"
"What I do at my workplace is exercise."
Actually he had to move around until he's finished at his workplace.
"What are you doing?"
"Plastering work"
It is to plaster cement finely on the wall. But his job could never be called an exercise.
This is because his moving was limited.
"It is good for people with angina pectoris to have a whole body exercise. Can you do it for 30 minutes a day? And do not overeat. Please eat less. Mainly vegetarian diet and avoid salty food." The grandpa nodded his head and looked at him.
"By the way, doctor, are not you busy?"
He has never talked with a doctor for a long time like this. Yea, up to now.
He had never talked to doctors for more than 10 minutes during the examination.
Even though he talked to the doctor, he said only words that he could not understand.
All he did was just injections and prescription drugs as for his disease. And if he could not get better, the doctor recommended surgery. That's it.
But the doctor in front of me looked different from such doctors.
He felt as if he was meeting a close acquaintance.
While the grandpa was looking at Suhyuk, he kept talking,
"The most important thing is not to be stressed because stress is the source of all disease."
He said to Suhyuk with a relaxed smile,
"I'm afraid I'm taking too much time from you"
"I'm off today." "Thank you." Suhyuk shook his head.
"This is my job, sir. After you get sap, and confirm that you stopped bleeding, you are good to be discharged."
Then he heard Oh Byunchol's voice.
"Lee Suhyuk. If you want to work, get dressed in a doctor's gown and come back."
***
It's Monday morning.
Suhyuk and his roommate Kwon Jae-Ik went to the underground convenience store for a light breakfast. One banana milk and one triangular dried laver rolls. That was their breakfast.
Kwon Jaeik, still rubbing half-closed eyes, swallowed milk and then he asked Suhyok,
"What time did you come in yesterday?"
When he entered the lodging around 1am, Kwon fell into sleep immediately.
It was already in the morning when Kwon opened his eyes, and found alien Suhyuk already dressed in a robe.
"I got here after 2 pm."
"You got here an hour later than me." Suhyuk nodded a little.
He had no clue, but everybody egged on him to leave before 2am.
Especially, Oh Byungchul. If Suhyuk told him he wanted to do a little more work, Oh expelled him with a threatening tone. Suhyuk muttered to himself. 'It is not easy to work.'
Other interns were anxious to rest, shunning work, but Suhyuk thought the opposite.
"Can you manage your work?"
At Suhyuk's question, Kwon lowered his face. "I'm afraid I will die, and I just feel nervous and uneasy if I do not get abusive language even for a day. This is a disease, isn't it?"
Suhyuk, lightly tapping him on the shoulder, said, "Now your internship at the pediatric dept. is over, right"
"Yes, I will now be assigned to another department. And I am worried about it already."
Having said that, he saw Suhyuk. The place where he left. Department of pediatrics. There were still lots of praise of him going around.
"How are you so good at figuring out the patients' disease?" asked Kwon.
"Well, the patient tells you, Think about the hint." said Suhyuk with a smile.
Kwon shook his head. One of his many nicknames, Alien.
He could not figure out what he was talking about like an alien's talking. Someday I could make my day, Kwon thought to himself.
After having milk and dried laver rolls, the two broke up in the lobby.
Suhyuk was heading to the emergency room. Then the phone rang.
It was Professor Lee Mansuk.
"Yes, this is Lee Suhyuk."
"Are you available now?"
He had still 30 minutes left.
"Yes, I'm, sir."
"Great, then can you come to see me for a while?"
"Okay." Suhyuk immediately went to his office.
As he opened the door, he rose from the seat to welcome him.
"Did you eat breakfast? "
"Yes, why do you want to see me ..."
"Man, don't be impatient like that! Just sit down and have a cup of coffee."
Suhyuk sat on the sofa and Lee put out a prepared coffee.
"Thank you."
Lee Mansuk looked at Suhyuk having coffee quietly.
"Mr. Lee, do you have any girlfriend?"
"No, sir."
Then Lee Mansuk recalled a scene, taking a cup of coffee with his mouth.
The image of Suhyuk standing side by side with a nurse on that day.
Apparently, both of them looked sweet like lovers.
'If she is not his girlfriend, are they getting into a lovers' relationship?'
If so, there is still a chance.
"Let's have lunch today."
"Do you have anything to say?"
He nodded his head.
"I have a little long story, and now you have to go to work. So, I'll see you at lunch. Let me tell them at the emergency medicine department about this."
"I will wait in front of the restaurant then."
Lee shook his head. "Wait outside the hospital, or wait in the lobby."
Suhyuk nodded and rose from his seat.
"Then I'll see you then."
"Okay. See you then."
Suhyuk went out the office, and Lee Mansuk enjoyed the aroma of coffee with a pleasant mind.
Suhyuk, heading to the emergency room, walking in the hallway.
Then the nurses passing by whispered to each other.
"I hear that intern teacher kicked out the gangsters?"
"Look at his face. He's such a hot guy!"
"I hear he's as good as a resident in terms of treating patients?"
The existence of Suhyuk continued to be felt throughout Daehan Hospital.
Of course, Suhyuk didn't know it at all.
When Soohyuk went into the emergency room, Oh Byungchul approached.
"Good morning, sir"
"Good morning. Don't stay over 2am today. Just go back to your lodging and take a rest."
Suhyuk made a bitter look. What kind of workplace do they stop those who want to work?
But this is that kind of place. He had no choice as it's an order from his supervisor.
"Yes, sir."
"And check if the equipment is OK."
At Oh's words, Suhyuk started to look at the medical devices attached to each bed.
The emergency room was not busy, and there were other medical staff already taking care of a few patients.
Suhyuk carefully checked the equipment. He could not take his work lightly as the equipment was designed to show the vitality pattern of patients.
Could it have been 20 minutes?
He checked all the devices. Fortunately, there were no problems.
After he was done, he had nothing to do anymore.
Suhyuk went to Oh, and said, "All the equipment has been checked. They're all normal."
"Good."
Saying so, Oh fixed his gaze on the chart again
Then, Suhyuk's voice was heard from behind. "Is there anything else?"
At his asking, Oh scratching his head with a ballpoint pen.
Other interns, when given assignments, made a miserable scowl on their faces. But he was the opposite. There was nothing particular Suhyuk could do. And there were very few patients visiting the emergency room today.
Oh, who was thinking for a moment, opened his mouth. "Wait for the patient then"
Suhyuk made a bitter smile, but suddenly opened his mouth as if something came to his mind.
"Patient record, can I check it?"
"What do you want to do by checking it?"
"I was wondering how the patients were being treated."
Oh nodded his head.
It was a good attitude. If he checked the disease of patients, as well as the medical records of treatment and prescription, he would certainly find it very valuable later.
"Yeah, if you're busy, you can go ahead."
"Yes, sir"
Suhyuk went to a PC installed on one side. And he moved the mouse.
Looking at the monitor, Suhyuk muttered. "
There is an infection in the urinary tract, but the treatment was extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and he must have felt hurt ..."
The term "extracorporeal shock lithotripsy" refers to bruising stones from the outside without surgery or surgery.
Suhyuk saw the next patient' records.
"Tension pneumothorax."
It referred to a condition where the pressure in the thoracic cavity gradually disappeared when the lung tissue was damaged and air entering the thoracic cavity could not escape. That made it possible for the heart that was in place to bias to one side. If so, the vena cava breaks and clogs the flow of blood back to the heart. It was an emergency disease that could endanger life with shock. So, Suhyuk moved the mouse for a while.
"Hey, you can go out for lunch break." said Oh.
Suhyuk moved to the lobby at his words. And he could meet Lee Mansuk.
Suhyuk opened his mouth when he saw him walking ahead.
"But where do we have the lunch?"
"You'll see once you get there."
Suhyuk went out of the the hospital following Lee.
