137.

When they left the surgical ward, the clean night air greeted them first.

The rain that had been falling like crazy stopped like a lie.

“If the weather is like this, I can go to Prey Bang.”

Yoon Seon-ye stared at Hyun-jun, who was talking excitedly.

I heard a lot of stories about Hyun-jun at the hospital, but today was the first time I checked his skills in the operating room.

Yun Seon-ye could understand why Hyun-jun continues to be an issue among doctors.

It was honestly a shock.

Liver transplantation was one of the most difficult surgeries among surgical operations.

To be honest, it was hard to believe when Hyun-jun said that such an operation was being performed.

This was because it was a surgery that required delicacy, judgment, and experience based on an integrated understanding and knowledge of the hepatobiliary pancreas.

But today, when she came in contact with his technique, she confirmed her delicacy and judgment with her own eyes.

Hyun-jun was in the assistant position, but he was right about half of it.

Also, when he was immersed in his assistant, the operation was very comfortable.

Hyun-jun was like a partner he had been holding hands for for years.

If the field of view was obscured, the retractor was pulled more to secure the field of view, and even the cutting timing was perfect when shooting.

Most of all, Hyun-jun accurately predicted his next move and moved.

At the same time, he perfectly coordinated with local medical personnel including Dr. Sumnang.

‘Awesome.’

Today, Hyunjun’s side face reflected in the moonlight looked even more handsome.

Hyeonjun was proud and at the same time stimulated as a surgeon.

‘I have to work even harder.’

When he felt Yoon Seon-ye’s hot gaze, Hyun-jun turned his head and looked into her eyes.

“Why?”

“uh? No, there. Look at the stars.”

Hyun-jun followed her fingers and looked at the clear night sky.

I saw many stars that I couldn’t see in Seoul.

“good night.”

Kim Jae-myung muttered from behind as the two looked good together, but no one cared.

next day.

The group left the Khmer Soviet hospital where they volunteered for a week and headed for Prey Bang, located in the outskirts of Phnom Penh.

There were still puddles of water on the road, but the sun was crisp as if it had rained when it rained, and it made the party feel good.

“What kind of place is Prey Bang?”

In the shaking bus, Hyun-jun asked Doctor Ng, who was sitting next to him.

Dr. Ng served as an interpreter and was with the medical service corps.

“Although it is relatively close to Phnom Penh, Prey Bang is the most underdeveloped rural area in our country. Go see it and you will know.”

Doctor Ng, who is about the same age as Hyun-jun, answered with a high voice.

It was a completely different attitude than when he first came.

There is a reason why he operated on his friend’s son, who had a landmine accident, but the decisive situation happened in the morning before departing for Prey Bang.

Three local medical staff they had never seen before approached the volunteer group preparing to leave and asked in English.

“Are you here as Dr. Hyeonjun Jang?”

“If it’s Dr. Zhang, he’s over there.”

“Oh, thank you.”

The eyes of the volunteers followed their movements that appeared suddenly.

“What?”

“Didn’t the surgery yesterday cause any problems?”

After the murmur, the local medical staff faced Hyun-jun.

“Doctor Hyun-Jun Jang?”

“Yes, I am Jang Hyeon-jun.”

“Are you a surgeon at Daehan University Hospital?”

Hyunjun also responded in English to his fluent English.

“Yes, by the way. Why do you… … .”

The three local medical staff looked at each other without hiding their excited expressions.

One of them held out his hand.

“It is an honour!”

“Yeah?”

“I am very happy to be able to meet the famous Sergeant!”

“… … I think you got the wrong person. I am not that kind of person.”

Hyunjun waved his hand with a puzzled expression.

“no. you are right! I saw it in a conference video!”

“Academy?”

“Ah, we are surgeons specializing in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.”

“Ah… … . then?”

“ILTS held in Seoul last year was the best. We couldn’t go in person, but we were able to watch Dr. Chang perform live.”

Most of the volunteers opened their mouths to the words of the local medical staff.

“What kind of conference do you think Mr. Jang conducted?”

“As far as the doctors here know, it seems to be a global conference… … .”

Manager Noh Joo-hoon also asked the staff next to him if he was curious about the situation.

“Master Jang Hyeon-jun, didn’t you say that you are a resident for the third year?”

“I heard that too. Manager.”

Hyunjun was also confused.

Who would have seen the ILTS live demonstration here in Cambodia?

It was crazy, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.

Many thoughts came to my mind when I thought that my surgery had an effect on doctors in such a distant country.

There were still thoughts that needed more tidying up.

“Thanks for any help.”

“Our country is not yet ready for liver transplantation, but we are working hard so that we can do the first operation one day.”

Hyeon-jun nodded vigorously at the words of the local medical staff who were full of enthusiasm.

“It would be great if we could do surgery together when the opportunity arises.”

“Then it is more of an honor! But why are you doing this surgery here? … .”

The three seemed to have a lot of questions about liver transplantation.

I asked carefully in case it was rude, but when Hyun-jun answered positively, their expressions brightened even more.

The question and answer with Hyun-jun took place for quite some time.

Dr. Ng, who walked up behind the three of them, asked sneakily.

“Is this a famous doctor?”

“Don’t talk. This is a surviving team of the best liver transplant surgery team in the world. At the conference last year, we also developed a new surgical method.”

“Wow… … Is that really?”

“Why would we say nothing? To meet Dr. Jang, what a lucky day for us!”

In response to the fan-like reaction to seeing the idol, Doctor Eung’s eyes on Hyun-jun also changed.

Doctor Eung was not the only one who changed his attitude toward Hyun-Jun.

The volunteer group, whose main focus was on the dental school, also had a subtle change of perspective.

“It looks like it blew a little over there.”

Unlike others, there were some who had changed their attitudes after yesterday’s surgery.

It was Kim Jae-myung.

“It’s not like that, but learning under a great professor gave me a great opportunity.”

“After all, you are my rival.”

“Yeah?”

“No, we are no longer rivals in love with Yun Seon-ye between us.”

Was this guy such a character?

Hyun-jun shyly avoided his sullen gaze.

Because Sunye was on another bus, it was a side effect of making a confession to someone who was strict.

For some reason, I wanted to see Geun-seok.

Having crossed the Mekong River and arrived at Prey Bang, the volunteers unpacked their luggage at the health center in the form of an old house.

This was the place where medical services would take place for the rest of the week.

Those who came to Prey Bang for the first time among the volunteers could not hide their dismay at the outdated facilities and environment.

Hyun-jun was also imagining it because he had heard from Dr. Ng in advance, but the severity was more than that.

Most of the buildings were like shantytowns, and it was difficult to find buildings made of cement.

Although the town is quite large, the health center here is all about medical facilities.

The biggest problem I’ve heard from Dr. Ng isn’t the environment.

Cambodia did not have state-run health insurance itself. In the end, more than 90% of medical expenses were self-pay when receiving treatment.

Going to the national hospital in Phnom Penh saves some money, but the people here are so poor that they cannot even afford to travel to the city.

This was the reason why sick people had already gathered before the volunteers had even unpacked their luggage.

“First, let’s divide the area into dentistry and general care. I think it would be good if Gong Ji-won, a professor at the Department of Family Medicine, oversees general treatment.”

Without a moment’s spare time, the clinic took shape under the direction of Manager Noh.

Gong Ji-won was a doctor who had been doing medical volunteer work in Cambodia alone for several years.

She naturally led people and quickly created the shape of the clinic.

Even in her late forties, she sang Hyun-Jun and Sun-Ye, with her white hair and short hair fluttering.

Hyun-jun, who briefly made eye contact with Yun Seon-ye, smiled, and she responded in the same way.

The environment was incomparably poorer than that of Korea, but they both thought it was a good idea to come here.

The environment was poor, but yes, it was a week.

There were a lot of things that I would never have experienced if I had only been in Korea.

It was a new stimulus for them, who were confined in the hospital space, and an experience that could broaden their horizons.

“Mr. Yoon mainly takes care of children, and Ms. Jang… … .”

She tried to use Hyun-jun, who speaks Khmer as her assistant doctor, but she changed her mind after an incident in the morning (?).

Usually, a resident who excels at the main campus is bound to write a lot without knowing it.

It is unusual for a young friend to come to the medical service, but there were things I wanted to teach as a senior.

“Since there are so many patients, I think it would be better to take the medical history and hand it over to me.”

“all right.”

The answer was cool, but Gong didn’t want Hyun-jun to treat him well.

Most of the patients come for internal medical problems, so I didn’t have high expectations for him as a surgeon.

“If it’s difficult, please do well by just listening to the military.”

“Yeah!”

As Hyun-jun sat down on the hard wooden chair, the first patient with an anxious expression sat on the opposite chair.

“Where are you uncomfortable?”

At the same time as asking a question, Hyun-jun looked around the body of a strong middle-aged male patient.

At first glance, it didn’t look like there was any pain.

“I was healthy, but I have been very tired in the last 5 months.”

The man, surprised for a moment by the Khmer language, answered with a slightly relaxed expression.

‘It is not enough just to know how to speak Khmer.’

Gong Ji-won glanced at Hyun-jun while examining his patient.

She smiled slightly as she was half playful and half-hearted as a senior, as she looked embarrassed in front of a strong male patient.

There was no big difference between Yoon Seon-ye and Hyun-jun in her hurried appearance.

I had no choice but to do so.

This was Cambodia, not Korea.

For a doctor who worked only at Daehan University Hospital equipped with state-of-the-art testing instruments and medical equipment, the treatment environment here was like washing hands with both hands tied.

Portable X-rays and simple blood tests were possible, but there was no ultrasound and, of course, CT and MRI could not be dreamed of.

Basically, it was difficult to diagnose the disease by auscultation and history taking.

The reason why he did not share the know-how of medical treatment from the beginning was because he had to experience the difficulties himself to see his abilities objectively.

‘No matter how good your skills are at the school, you will have a hard time here. Ho Ho.’

But there was something she didn’t know.

Hyun-jun’s ability with Ronnie was that the more advanced equipment he didn’t have, the more he shined.

Not knowing what Gong Ji-won was thinking, Hyun-jun concentrated on checking the patient’s condition.
