Getting up early in the morning, Suhyuk could not help but stand blankly in the lobby.
There was a news report about him on the TV.
Though it did not ntion his na, the report introduced the series of things he had done before, ranging from his cutting the cricothyroid mbrane at middle school to identifying the cause of death of a cadaver. And then there was additional piece about his having caught a thief who broke into empty houses and this ti saving a womans life with CPR.
Those who had been gradually forgetting about him recalled the stories about Suhyuk once more, and those who did not know of him began to find out who he was.
Obviously it was not Han Jihye who wrote the report because he had earnestly requested her not to do so.
Probably those reporters who recognized him might have weaved the story like that.
Isnt he doctor Lee Suhyuk?
Suhyuk quickly got on the elevator, hearing soones abrupt voice like that.
Huuuuuh He let out a sigh without realising it
He just wanted to focus on the patients, but instead found himself the subject of attention and focus.
The elevator door opened, and Suhyuk moved with a bitter smile.
Good morning!
At Suhyuks greeting, Im Gyungsu nodded his head. Beside him was a man who he did not know.
He was standing still like a tree, and bowed his waist as soon as he saw Suhyuk.
And then he opened his mouth hesitantly, How are you, sir? Im intern Park Sungjae who has just been a.s.signed to the cardiothoracic surgery!
Im knitted his brows, saying, Hey, lower your voice! So patients pa.s.sing by might have a heart attack at your loud voice.
Yes, sir!
With a smile, Suhyuk asked to shake his hands.
Nice to et you. Im Lee Suhyuk.
Parks eyes beca wide. He was about reminded what they said when he was a.s.signed here.
Just work as hard as Lee Suhyuk, no more or no less.
My service to you, sir!
Im shook his head at that. Who is saying it to whom?
It was Im himself who would be in charge of Park.
I dont see the chief doctor. Sothing wrong with him?
Yes, Suhyuk was right. Chief Kang was not seen there.
Im said in bitterness, I heard his grandfather pa.s.sed away. I should visit him, but I cant find ti..
Suhyuk nodded his head.
Though lots of patients were coming in, there were not a sufficient amount of doctors.
The situation was more serious because cardiothoracic surgery was unpopular as a specialism choice.
Were going to collect so comfort money later. You know nurse Han Binna, right? She is supposed to collect the money, so hand the money to her today.
Then, Prof. Han Myungjin ca up. They were supposed to make the rounds in the morning.
I told you to take a day off today
Han just made a perplexed smile at Suhyuk, looking at him.
The figure in question on the TV news channel Though his na was not ntioned, Han could infer from the report that he was Suhyuk.
Even on a day off, he went around to save a persons life.
Suhyuk slurred, scratching his head, It happened to be that the alley was right beside my house
Han, shaking his head, walked ahead.
Checking the patients conditon, Han asked intern Park,
This is chylothorax. What is the cause?
Well.
Park beca dumb as an oyster at that question. The mont he was asked, he just could not think of anything. However, Han made a smile, saying its understandable.
Now he looked at Suhyuk, who opened his mouth reflexively,
It is the state where the chest tube which is the largest lymphatic organ is damaged and the chyle in the chest tube is acc.u.mulated into the chest cavity.
Suhyuk explained it in a calm and orderly manner as if he wanted soone to listen to it.
Generally speaking, there may be many causes, but it is caused by lymphoma or wounds.
Saying that, he took a glance at Park.
Park was taking notes quickly about what he said.
Yes, thats right. Whats the redy?
Han looked at Im Gyunsu, but instantly cast his eyes to Suhyuk.
Just in case Im could not answer in front of the intern, Han was considerate enough to have Suhyuk reply instead.
Suhyuk opened his mouth, and this ti his reply was not easy to deliver.
Suhyuk explained as easily as possible so Park could understand.
There is conservative therapy first. There is a thod of inserting a chest tube into the target and draining it. At the sa ti, the patient needs fasting, so intravenous infusion should be provided. Oral ingestion at this ti is absolutely taboo. This is because it increases the amount of chyle in the chest.
Han shook his head. Suhyuks explanation was easy enough that even ordinary people could understand it.
Suhyuk continued, but Han raised his hand to stop him.
He could go on and on like this. Whats important was that the patient was recovering.
Han went out of the room, and the three followed him.
Im, walking next to Han, explained about the disease of the next patient.
Then Park cautiously opened his mouth, asking Suhyuk,
Sir, you ntioned a secondary thod to treat
Suhyuk said with a smile, Well, it is universal to check any damaged caused by surgery, and then sew it.
Taking notes quickly in his notebook, he nodded.
Suhyuk made a pleasant smile as if he was proud of Park.
Then Park stopped walking, and thought to himself while looking at Suhyuk walking on.
Was there any doctor who explained to him so easily while he was leading a tough interns.h.i. p?
Suhyuks posture, walking with his gown fluttering in the air.
He looked like a real doctor.
When he made the rounds with the professor, Park asked Suhyuk question after question. There were so many things he wanted to learn.
When he asked other doctors, he would be told off, but Suhyuk was completely different from them.
His soft voice made Park relaxed, and whatever he ntioned, Park could easily digest.
He wished there were other doctors like Suhyuk at other departnts.
Park thought he would just follow Suhyuk while he was having his interns.h.i. p at the cardiothoracic surgery departnt.

As soon as they were done with the rounds, it was lunch ti. Suhyuk moved to the cafeteria.
Park quickly ca toward him. With a doubtful look, Suhyuk asked, Did you finish your work?
Im was not the type of person who let the interns or residents take a break on ti, especially interns. Im really gave them a hard ti.
Oh, Im told that I should follow you for more learning.
That was possible.
Im already recognized Suhyuks capabilities, but he had other motivations too, naly getting the troubleso intern to be taken care of by soone else.
Unaware of this, Park was all smiles.
Suhyuk made a bitter smile at that because he could detect Ims such intentions.
He did not care, though. For teaching was not hard anyway, and it was neither clinical treatnt nor surgery that Suhyuk ordered Park to do.
Sir, I hope you can give lots of teaching and scolding.
Like he did the first ti, he bent his waist to show respect.
If you work with , you may be tired quite a bit.
At Suhyuks words, he showed so anxious look. Was he intent to give enormous a.s.signnts? Suddenly that kind of thought ca to his mind.
Then Suhyuk continued,
Well, I often make the rounds to check the patients condition.
Park welcod it more because that was a good opportunity for him to learn while following Suhyuk.
Lets go.
When Suhyuk moved to the cafeteria, Park followed him briskly.
The two went out right after lunch.
Even though it was for a mont, Park could size up Suhyuk to so degree.
He would not open his mouth unless Park talked about patients.
Park felt very awkward while eating with him.
They still had 30 more minutes of lunch ti left.
Sir, Id like to treat you to a cup of coffee because I was so thankful to you a short while ago.
With a smile, Suhyuk opened his mouth,
Next ti, Mr. Park. I have to see a patient now.
Park then followed him, with a crisp reply, Yes, sir.
Though it was still lunchti, Park did not have anything to complain about.
All this would be of imnse help to him anyway.
He certainly could not miss the golden opportunity to learn from soone like Suhyuk.
Until then Park would not know it yet, naly that he would be destined to face many h.e.l.lish days.
