133.

After talking to several people in the discussion room, Hyun-jun realized that the situation was more serious than he had expected.

In 2020, more than 70 countries with highly pathogenic AI, or bird flu, were found. It has occurred on every continent except Australia, and the number of deaths has been significant.

In the neighboring country, China alone, this year, more than 100 people have been infected with the H7N9 virus, and more than 100 people have died.

Most of the deaths were related to direct contact with birds, but there were others.

The final confirmed cases of MERS, which hit Korea in 2015, were 186, of which 36 died.

Even with this number, the whole country was shaken.

It was not easy to even imagine what kind of repercussion it would cause if human infection of bird flu occurred in Korea.

I wanted to ask the experts in more detail, but after dealing with Hyun-jun for a while, they were again in a heated discussion.

It’s not that I’m deliberately ignoring it, but Hyun-jun is not an infectious disease expert, and the fact that he joined the club through a talent training program was creating an invisible wall.

Hyun-jun, who came out of the discussion room, had a conversation with Ronnie with the collected information.

‘Ronnie, how are you? Any chance?’

[The probability of developing a new drug that can treat all flu viruses cannot be calculated.]

‘That means there is little chance.’

[We need to find a new concept treatment, not a vaccine or antiviral.]

‘There is enough justification for development, the possibility is to find a needle in the desert.’

[It’s well worth the challenge.]

‘great. Let’s go with this.’

Hyunjun used some of the investment he received from Olympus to secure data to run on the Panasis algorithm.

As expected, Hyun-jun wasn’t the only one interested in this issue.

The WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an agency affiliated with the US FDA, and Chinese government research institutes have already recognized the problem and are working to find a solution.

However, as the epidemiologist Mr. Chang, who is a member of the Honors Club, said, being able to win the Nobel Prize was not an understatement.

Hyun-Jun changed the artificial intelligence algorithm and searched for candidate substances hundreds of times.

After several months of head-to-head discussions with Ronnie day and night, nothing came to my mind.

As the ward routine and constant research were repeated like a squirrel wheel, a slump came to Hyun-jun as well.

“Oppa, this time, I also performed the surgery!”

A story about liver transplantation that Song Seon-hee tells from time to time.

Lee Geun-suk is almost certain to be appointed as a professor by showing prominence in robotic surgery as a fellow.

Through endless efforts, Jo Yoon-seong has transformed into a promising general surgeon.

When he heard the news of the people around him, he couldn’t help but feel happy and cramped on the one hand.

The emptiness created after experiencing the big conference called ILTS also played a part.

As long as Jinyoung Pyo was the director, his hands and feet were tied up for the 3rd and 4th years of the resident, that is, for 2 years.

It was even more so because there was no suitable solution in sight.

To change his mood, Hyun-jun took a walk in the park outside the hospital.

It was after 11pm, so there was no one there, but the lights were shining on the cherry blossom trees that had no petals, creating a beautiful scene.

Hyeon-jun, who came into the hospital with a fresh mind, perhaps thanks to the cherry blossoms, looked around the places with his memories.

The emergency room was still crowded with many emergency patients.

From a distance, I could see Young-Tae Joo, but for today, I passed him by shouting “Fighting” inside.

Hyeon-jun, who had spent most of his time at the transplant center and surgical ward, scratched his head.

“What kind of cheongseung is this?”

It would have been embarrassing if I had said it alone, but fortunately, Ronnie responded.

[It seems that a lot has happened in such a short time.]

“It really is.”

[Thanks to Hyunjun, I was able to meet many people and have a lot of experience.]

“Thanks to you, Ronnie, I was able to come this far.”

[The Panasia project will also work out well.]

“Yes.”

As Hyun-jun answered, he suddenly saw a piece of paper lying on the floor of the general surgery station.

It looked like it had fallen off the fax stand. Hyeon-jun, who was about to pick up the paper and put it on the tray without thinking, could not take his eyes off the contents written on it.

Seon-ye Yoon grabbed the A4 paper that Hyun-jun was shaking and read the title.

“Cambodian medical service? What is this?”

“It’s an overseas medical service conducted every year at a dental hospital.”

Hyun-jun explained the details to her, who sucks coffee through a straw.

“Dental hospital?”

“Yeah, the oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the main pillars, but I think other doctors are also getting support this time.”

“Hyunjun wants to apply for you too?”

“I already applied. Sunye, you should apply too.”

“I also?”

“They said they needed a pediatric surgeon too.”

Sunye Yoon carefully looked at the contents of the fax.

The main contents of the service were surgery for patients with cleft palate and facial deformities.

“Is there anything I can do?”

“From what I heard, they said that they had only volunteered for medical services in the capital, Phnom Penh, until last year, but last year they even went to a rural village. There must be a lot of children to take care of there.”

“Then are you going to the same place again this year?”

“Yes, but rumors have spread that there are few applicants from other departments.”

“What rumors?”

“Up to the capital, Phnom Penh, is fine, but the rural villages must be in very poor condition.”

“Hyunjun is you. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her eyes so bright. You couldn’t go into the operating room these days, and you were in a slump.”

“is it? I don’t know for sure, but there must be patients in Cambodia who are suffering from medical blind spots.”

Although it was a short schedule for two weeks, Hyunjun needed a breakthrough in a situation where the surrounding environment changed and the Panasis project was sluggish.

No, even if it wasn’t a breakthrough, it was true that we needed a change in our daily life. So, I chose overseas medical service.

Although the dental school is the main focus of volunteering, I thought that I would definitely have work to do.

Yoon Seon-ye, who saw Hyun-jun’s expected expression on his face, looked into his eyes gently.

‘How could I not know that I was giving up like that?’

She also knew that Hyun-jun was researching a flu treatment and that things were not going well.

There was one more thing she knew.

It was Hyunjun’s effort.

When Hyun-jun graduated from high school, some did not admit it as jealousy or envy, and dismissed him as lucky, but Seon-ye Yun knew.

A person who leaves the library later than anyone else.

Hyeonjun was the one who practiced dozens of hundreds of times until he was able to get good grades in hospital practice.

Then Hyun-jun returned to the hospital, made an emergency room improvement plan, and was selected for the Olympus project.

And some said they were still lucky until the ILTS team did a great job.

But she knew that there was a lot of blood, sweat, and hard work behind the results.

Hyun-jun, who received her warm gaze, returned the same gaze.

“Me too, but you also need to change your mind.”

Sunye wasn’t the only one who cared about Hyunjun.

As the years passed, Seon-ye Yoon, who seemed weak in college, disappeared, and now, a powerful two-year pediatric surgery fellow was standing in front of her.

I did just that.

Regardless of the specific major, a day of surgery at a general hospital was like a war.

Unlike his residency, Fellow had to make judgments as a field commander.

And he had to take responsibility for all his decisions.

She was well navigating the battlefield where one life depended on her judgment.

However, Hyun-jun knew better than anyone else about her tender heart, who seemed to be doing well.

She was still a soft-hearted and warm woman.

If the operated newborn does not eventually resuscitate, Sun-ye Yoon once told Hyun-jun that a part of her heart felt like it was torn apart.

Her eyes were so swollen.

As a Fellow, he was just trying to hide it for his role.

“Do I need a change of mood too?”

“You’ve been through a lot these days.”

“… … .”

There are children who are discharged from the hospital waving their hands in their parents’ arms after the operation went well, but this was not always the case.

There were obviously cases where the operation failed, and there were children who unfortunately died in the ward.

Every time that happens, I try to calm my heart somehow, but it’s not easy.

The situation would have been even more difficult without Hyun-jun, who he could lean on without saying a word.

“It’s true that I came all the way here without taking a break after graduating.”

“… … Yes.”

“You should discuss it with your manager, but think about it.”

At Hyunjun’s words, she smiled beautifully.

“No, I will support you.”

“really?”

“Yes. and thank you Take care of it.”

Hyun-jun responded with a cool smile to her beautiful smile with sincerity.

* * *

“Turn it off. It’s raining heavily.”

“It has been raining for a week and the city roads are almost locked.”

“Can we go to the hospital?”

Unlike the veteran teachers who had been doing medical service for a long time, the faces of those who participated for the first time were full of worry.

Through the endless torrential rain, the small bus the party was riding on was slowly crossing the capital.

The destination of the corps was the Khmer Soviet Brotherhood Hospital, an old hospital in downtown Phnom Penh.

Even in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the man sitting next to Yun Seon-ye constantly talked to her.

“It’s amazing that you’re a pediatric surgeon.”

“Ah yes.”

“It’s just that even complete babies are operated on.”

“Yeah. right.”

The questioner did not care about Yun Seon-ye’s relatively dry answer.

Jaemyung Kim.

As a Fellow of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Dentistry Hospital, I was talking to her all the way from Incheon International Airport for two years.

He didn’t care at all about the views of others.

She was about 180 tall and had a slender face, so she had an impression that women would like, but Sunye Yun was always coldly dealing with him.

“Hyunjun-ah, the car is shaking a lot, did you read the book?”

“it’s okay. Worth reading.”

“But what book? It was like reading on an airplane.”

“It’s a Khmer dictionary, but I’ve been looking at it little by little for a few days just in case.”

“Khmer?”

“Khmer is the official language of Cambodia. But seeing it now doesn’t mean I can write it.”

Kim Jae-myung, who was overhearing the conversation between the two, snatched the answer Hyun-jun was about to give.

As Yoon Seon-ye continued to show interest in someone other than herself, Kim Jae-myung’s eyebrows twitched.

Kim Jae-myung, at least among doctors, never thought that he was attracted to anyone because of his appearance.

However, the look of the same guy who reads the dictionary (?) without saying a word was not formidable.

“Doesn’t the two of you know each other?”

“Yeah. It’s my graduation motive.”

“Medical school?”

“Yeah.”

“I think I heard that he is a resident of general surgery for the third year.”

“that’s right.”

“Then he didn’t go to the military beforehand, and he didn’t pass the national exam after three years, right? haha.”

This time, Yoon Seon-ye frowned slightly at the joke that didn’t seem like a joke.

But when Hyun-jun showed no reaction, she just kept her mouth shut.

In the meantime, Kim Jae-myung’s subtle diss and appeal continued.

“Among my friends, there is a guy who studies with a conversation book on the day he goes on an overseas trip, but in reality he can’t even say a word. haha.”

“… … .”

“You say that general surgery is a target to avoid? They say that the competition rate is low compared to other departments.”

“… … .”

“Even if I try to open general surgery later, it will be difficult. My father is a dentist in Nonhyeon-dong. He can’t even tell you how many times he’s been wearing the torch to take over.”

From the first day of service, Yoon Seon-ye, who had been quiet because she did not want to ruin the atmosphere, could not bear it any longer and tried to say a word.

At that moment, it was the driver’s voice that stopped her.

“It’s all here! Be careful not to fall into the water when you get off!”
