Chapter 363: Meant to Be Together (1) – Part 2
Gun-Ho wrapped up his work quickly and headed to Seoul National University Hospital that day . His mom was staying in a large patient room with five other patients . Gun-Ho thought that he’d better move her to another room that would be more quiet and private . He entered the room and looked at his mother . While other patients seemed to have a good time by talking with other people and watching TV, his mother looked like she was in pain .
“Mom . Are you in pain?”
“Oh, Gun-Ho? You didn’t have to come . You are so busy . ”
“Mom, how’s your back?”
“Not just about my back . I need to have an enema . ”
“Enema?”
“Yeah . I haven’t gone to the bathroom for three days now . I can’t let them out and I can’t eat . ”
At that moment, a nurse came into the room to check IV injection .
“My mom needs an enema . ”
“We can’t do that . We need a doctor for it . ”
“Did you inform the doctor about it then?”
“Yes, I did . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother yelled,
“I should have asked the doctor when the doctor did the patient rounds this morning . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother seemed to be in a lot of pain . Gun-Ho thought that he had to do something quick . He wanted to talk to the doctor .
When he asked the nurses that he wanted to see the doctor, they just told him that there was nothing much they could do at this moment .
“The doctor is still doing patient rounds right now . ”
The nurse went back to her work looking at her computer monitor after briefly responding to Gun-Ho’s request .
Gun-Ho’s mother was still in a lot of pain . She let out a low moan of pain constantly and Gun-Ho felt like he was in pain . Eventually, Gun-Ho’s mother screamed in pain and two nurses ran into the room .
“Ma’am, just hold one moment . The doctor is coming soon . ”
Gun-Ho held her mother’s hand . His mother started shaking . Gun-Ho imagined that stool tried to come out but the path was blocked . It would surely be very painful .
The doctor finally came .
Surprisingly, the doctor was a young lady . Maybe she was in her late 20s, and she had a fair complexion . The lady doctor took out a small flashlight from the pocket of her white coat . She then looked at Gun-Ho’s mother’s eyes and inside her mouth .
“You don’t have the lower part of abdominal pain, do you?”
“No, I don’t . ”
“What about a feeling of nausea? Do you feel like throwing up?”
“No . ”
The two nurses were standing next to the doctor with their faces frowned .
The young lady doctor said to the nurses with a calm and stable voice,
“Please prepare enema cleanse . ”
The two nurses came back after a moment . One nurse was carrying something that looked like a plastic wash basin . The other nurse brought a bottle of medicine . The lady doctor came back to the room and wore medical gloves . She said to Gun-Ho who was standing next to his mother,
“Please make a room for us . You probably want to stay away from here . The smell wouldn’t be very pleasant . Something could spatter on your clothes too . ”
The lady doctor wore a mask as well . The nurses dropped the curtain and undressed Gun-Ho’s mother’s pants . The doctor injected the enema . Gun-Ho could hear his mother’s scream . Gun-Ho craned his neck to see what was going on inside the curtain out of curiosity and watched what they were doing .
Gun-Ho’s mother’s scream continued .
“Hang in there!”
The doctor was poking Gun-Ho’s mother’s anus with her finger . She was wearing her medical gloves . That was shocking to Gun-Ho . His mother screamed more loudly . Her feces started pouring into the plastic wash basin along with the enema . The smell was really bad .
Gun-Ho was frightened by the scene .
“Oh my goodness . This is part of doctors’ job…”
Gun-Ho had never imagined that medical doctors did such work like putting his or her finger into someone’s anus .
“Oh, boy . I’m so relieved now!”
Gun-Ho heard his mother’s voice .
The lady doctor with the two nurses washed Gun-Ho’s mother’s problem area with sanitized cotton balls . She then took off her mask and said,
“Your mother had been in bed for a long time without moving much and that made her stool hard . It’s good now . ”
The lady doctor smiled and Gun-Ho was standing there frozen .
“Than… Thank you, ma’am . ”
Gun-Ho gave a 90-degree bow to the doctor . Gun-Ho hadn’t had a chance to give a 90-degree bow to anyone recently . He had been the one who received that kind of bow from others .
The doctor composedly said with a smile,
“Your mother will have spinal surgery tomorrow . Another doctor will perform it . We were worried about your mother’s osteoporosis, but after we tested it, we figured it’s not bad at all . Once the surgery is done, she just needs to take prescribed medicine for a while, and then she will fully recover . ”
The young lady doctor then turned her back and walked toward the door . She was carrying her dirty medicine gloves . She looked extremely calm .
Gun-Ho’s mother was devouring an apple .
A nurse brought a medicine .
“The doctor said that you can have anything for dinner but you must not eat anything after 10 pm . That’s because you will have surgery tomorrow . ”
“Thank you, young lady . You did such a good job . ”
“Mom, they said you don’t have to worry about your osteoporosis . You just need to receive the surgery tomorrow, and then you should be okay . ”
“Thank you, Gun-Ho . You don’t have to stay here with me . You must feel tired . Go home . ”
“I will go downstairs and make a request to move you to another room . ”
“This room is fine . ”
“I will get you a lot nicer room . Just take a deep rest like you are on a vacation . ”
Gun-Ho requested to move his mother to another patient room where his mother didn’t have to share the room with other patients .
They said that they would move her tomorrow morning .
Gun-Ho came back to her mother to say goodbye for the day .
“Mom, they will move you to another room . You will stay there by yourself . ”
“You didn’t have to do that . ”
“Mom, your son is driving a Bentley that cost 300 million won . I can’t let you stay in a room with five other patients . ”
“I just don’t want to impose, son . ”
“How are you feeling now?”
“I feel good . That young doctor is amazing . She is always nice to patients, all the time . She has a kind mind that goes well with her good-looking face . ”
On the way home, Gun-Ho thought of that young lady doctor . She was an admirable lady .
For a second, Gun-Ho thought of marrying someone like her and then he shook off the thought .
“She is a medical doctor in Seoul National University Hospital . That means that she probably graduated from the medical school of the top university—Seoul National University . She won’t meet a person who graduated from a low-ranked college in the countryside like me, even though I have money . ”
Gun-Ho let out a slight sigh while sitting in the rear seat of his Bentley . Chan-Ho was driving the Bentley heading to TowerPalace .
