Chapter 449
Surgeon who became angry (449): Abduction
is cool! (2)
Tiriririk…..
“Your professor.”
When Han Jin-soo received a call from Professor Ko, he hurriedly answered the phone.
―Are you okay on the phone?
“Yes, I am not very busy right now.”
―I called because of patient Lee Sang-cheol for whom you wrote a report.
Lee Sang-cheol was the son of an employee at a raw fish restaurant where Han Jin-soo had dinner with Nurse Song a few days before.
“Ah, that elementary school student.”
―Yes, in the findings of liver cancer in children, it was written that it was highly likely to have metastasized to the lungs. Did your hospital have a CT scan?
“I have X-rays, but no CT.”
-Yeah, didn’t you? I thought it wouldn’t be there because only the x-ray film was attached to the report.
“…..”
―But how did you find out that you have tumors in your liver and tumors growing in your lungs? It wouldn’t be possible to tell with an x-ray. In the case of the lungs in particular, I was able to find a tumor after looking closely at your findings. otherwise I wouldn’t have found it.
Han Jin-soo pondered for a moment on how to answer Professor Ko’s question.
I can’t talk about clairvoyance, so I thought it would be good to talk about it moderately.
‘Last time you saw me acupuncture, so you probably think I’m well versed in oriental medicine.’
“The tumor in the liver was felt by palpating the right upper abdomen, and the lung was found by pulse. I’m sorry, it’s an oriental medicine opinion…”
-Huh? jin vein?
“yes. As you know, Professor, I don’t sleep a little bit. I also have a pulse to some extent.”
―I knew that acupuncture was applied when operating on patient Oh Gap-soo, but it would not be easy to diagnose lung cancer with a
pulse. it was not
However, Han Jin-soo insisted plausibly.
“I knew there was something wrong with my lungs, and I wrote it down because I thought it was related to having a tumor in my liver. If it was cancer, I thought it might have metastasized to the lungs. That’s why I had the professor take a close examination to make sure.”
―Even if you thought of it as a connection, it is not easy to write in a written opinion, but you are definitely different from the general doctors I know. In particular, the part that did not reject oriental doctors is very fresh.
“After collaborating with Chinese doctors, stereotypes have only changed a little.”
―Oh… I want to learn how you feel too. With that mindset, you’ll be able to do general anesthesia with just one needle. I don’t reject oriental medicine, but I don’t want to learn acupuncture like you. In reality, it is against the law.
“I also do not use acupuncture except in very special cases. I wonder if I can go to China for medical service later. I didn’t even bring acupuncture to the hospital.”
– Talking with you makes me think a lot. Anyway, the question is solved, so I’ll stop.
“Here Professor.”
―Why?
“How do you plan to operate on Lee Sang-cheol’s patient?”
-I’m still thinking about what to do. It would be nice if both the liver and lungs could be incised through laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery… It seems that the patient’s guardians are not very well off.
Laparoscopic or thoracic endoscopic surgery is much more expensive than open surgery.
However, there are few aftereffects and the speed of recovery is incomparably faster.
“Hasn’t Agu University Hospital been running a program to support pediatric cancer patients for several years?”
―There is, but it is already full by the end of this year.
“Oh~. I guess so. How can I not get some of that benefit?”
―Is the patient related to you?
“No, nothing like that at all. Just a little sympathy.”
-hmm. Actually, why can’t I have that kind of heart? But there are limits to what I can do. Moreover, since it is a major surgery that requires calling a different doctor on a day other than my surgery date, I don’t know if they can take care of things that far.
“Really? I guess I was too greedy.”
As Han Jin-soo let out a deep sigh, Professor Ko also sighed.
―If you feel so sorry, how about having you come on a business trip and perform surgery? Then wouldn’t it be necessary to call in another doctor for collaboration?
“yes? My me?”
Jinsoo Han paused for a moment.
I had done a simple laparoscopic surgery at Daehan University Hospital under the supervision of a professor, but that was my experience when I was Jinsoo Han, and I couldn’t have that kind of experience when I was a painter.
I was a bit hesitant because of that.
‘I’m confident that I’ll be good at open surgery, but I have little experience with laparoscopic surgery…’ I
tried simulating the laparoscopic surgery in my head, bobbing my hands.
‘I don’t think I can. Will I be able to do well?’
Compared to open surgery, it is much more detailed and requires concentration, but I thought I would do much better than when I was a university hospital resident, Han Jin-soo.
―Can’t you save that much money if you do the surgery?
“That’s true, but… I don’t know if I’ll do well because I haven’t done laparoscopic surgery a few times.”
―Haha, it’s even absurd that such a sound comes out of your mouth. He said he would be better than me if he only showed half of his skills when he operated on the director’s grandson.
“As you know, professor Kim Joong-bae taught me, so I didn’t get much laparoscopic surgery.”
―The person who sews the blood vessels as if they were stitching seems to be talking about the stars. You’re not making excuses because you don’t want to do it, are you?
“Can I? All right. If given a chance, I would love to try it.”
-ha ha ha! this is really good I mean, I can do it again with you. If you are really not confident about laparoscopic surgery, come over here after work. I’ll let you practice with a doll. Robotic surgery is not possible, but laparoscopic surgery can be flexible in my line.
“yes? Can you really?”
―It’s possible because the director is very grateful to you. In fact, if you tell the director, you can practice robotic surgery, but isn’t robotic surgery still less precise than laparoscopy? So, there is no reason to proceed yet. More than anything… the doctors at our hospital will love you when you come.
“The other doctors? why?”
―What is it? You are already standing in our hospital.
“omg! Didn’t you just go and practice?”
―Oh, why is someone as talented as you being like this? Let’s pretend that the doctors at our hospital, who are like frogs in the well, open their eyes. You should also know how to show off properly.
“Laparoscopic surgery is not a skill to be shown.”
– Being too humble is not a virtue. When others see your skills, they will be motivated to practice more. So come and show off some.
“Oh, I might disappoint you.”
-I wish I could disappoint you. Are you coming today?
“Okay, I’ll go after work later.”
-Then I’ll be waiting for you.
“Thank you professor.”
―I say more thanks. I can’t wait to see what kind of skills you will show. see you later
“yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Han Jin-soo raised his hand and moved his fingers as if he were performing laparoscopic surgery.
Perhaps because it moved virtually, it moved surprisingly well.
‘This is so….. I’m nervous all over again.’
* * *
“Welcome.”
When Han Jin-soo appeared, Professor Go welcomed him with his arms wide open.
“I don’t know if I’m bothering the busy professor.”
“If you don’t want to bother me, you shouldn’t have sent a difficult patient like Lee Sang-cheol.”
“Oh, Professor, why are you so strict? Besides, there is no other place that is as lenient towards pediatric cancer patients as Agu University Hospital.”
“The money supported by the hospital is limited, but there are too many patients, so I don’t have many corners to rub. And among sick children, what child is not pitiful? You can’t even go in and rub it in.”
“That’s right.”
“How many times have you had laparoscopic surgery from Professor Kim?”
“I got it ten times.”
“Only ten times? Didn’t you finish your 3rd year of residency? But that’s all you got?”
“Professor Kim Jung-bae hated me a lot.”
“Huh! Is he a rotten eye? How can we not give a skilled man like you only 10 laparoscopic surgeries?”
Han Jin-soo shyly scratched his head.
I wasn’t incompetent at the time, but it wasn’t as good as it is now. From his point of view, it may have been something he would throw away at any time.
“Unfortunately, it is true.”
“I heard you fled abroad. Tsk, in a way, that’s a good thing for the hospital!”
“I don’t think so.”
While the two were talking, doctors capable of laparoscopic surgery arrived at the operating room.
Three people came to the operating room, one was Professor Seo Jung-kwon, and the other two were Doctor Choi and Doctor Cha, who assisted the director’s grandson in surgery.
Han Jin-soo knew that someone would come to the operating room because he had already heard that there were people who wanted to see his surgical skills.
“Hello, Professor Seo Joong-kwon. It’s been a while since Dr. Choi Il-woo and Dr. Cha Hyeon-taek.”
“Come on. I heard from Professor Ko that you were coming and waited without leaving work.”
“I have had a few laparoscopic surgeries, so I may not do as well as I hoped.”
“I heard that. But I don’t know why I’m so excited.”
“Oh, I’m not really rude. It’s not enough to make us have high hopes for Professor Seo, who has the best laparoscopic and robotic surgery skills in Korea.”
“I have seen you perform surgery on the director’s grandson more than ten times. So stop talking like that and come over here. As you know, these machines are not at our disposal.”
“yes.”
As Han Jin-soo approached, Professor Seo moved aside.
A mannequin with an laparoscopic endoscope was lying on the operating bed. And there was a monitor above the mannequin, showing the part that the endoscope camera was shining.
Currently, a substitute blood vessel (artificial blood vessel) that was cut was displayed in the center of the monitor, and a needle holder holding a needle connected with a suture was visible at the bottom.
Jinsoo Han looked at the monitor and moved the surgical instruments connected to the inside of the abdominal cavity.
Unlike robotic surgery, which is remotely controlled by moving a surgical console, laparoscopic surgery does not have a wide range of joint motion like robotic surgery because the surgical tools are moved directly by hand, but it can be controlled precisely enough to perform vascular anastomosis instead. .
As Han Jin-soo’s hand moved, the needle holder and forceps reflected on the monitor moved.
‘oh! Does this get cold in your hands? I’ve only played it ten times, but I’m so used to it than I thought.’
This feeling was also felt when I first held the triple bar.
It was definitely the first time I picked up the triple bar, but I quickly got used to the laparoscopic surgical tools, just as the sense of using swords and spears on the battlefield for decades was applied to the tri bar.
Han Jin-soo was a little surprised inside when the surgical tools worked as he intended. I thought there would be a hiatus since the period of living as a fireman was so long, but he was more skillful than when he used to handle tools at Daehan University Hospital.
‘The bet goes through the needle holder and extends to the tip of the needle, so getting surgery will help me a lot in my recovery!’
