Perfect Surgeon chapter 143

Episode 142.

142.

After completing the necessary treatment, Hyun-jun went back to the clinic to gather supplies so that Bo-pa can grow well without getting sick at home.

A miracle happened, but now a hurdle has been passed.

According to Ronnie’s statistics, 20% of babies born prematurely died from hypothermia.

Even if he did not die, he could develop organ failure that could have lifelong sequelae. I couldn’t let that happen.

When he arrived at the clinic and explained the situation, Yun Seon-ye and Gong were obviously not convinced.

“Hyunjun-ah… … . Are you really okay?”

“… … Mr. Jang, I have something else to tell you. What are you doing now?”

Looking at Yoon Seon-ye, who was worried about his condition, and Gong, who had a hardened expression, Hyun-jun made an embarrassed expression.

understanding is gone.

This is the feeling of the Sado Thomas.

It was difficult to believe that they had seen the baby’s breathing and heart stopped with their own eyes.

Fortunately, Soka, who was with me, fired support fire.

“I’m not lying! Really, my brother Bopa is alive!”

“Sokaya… … .”

From Hyunjun to Soka, the two of them blinked their eyes as they couldn’t figure out how to match the rhythm.

“Hyunjun-ah, really?”

“Yes. It really is a miracle.”

While working in pediatric surgery, she also believed in and hoped for miracles more than anyone in the beginning.

But ninety-nine out of one hundred betrayed her wishes.

As such things piled up one by one, Sunye Yun stopped relying on miracles.

“I definitely felt my heart stopped… … .”

In the end, the two could only believe with their own eyes.

After the treatment, Bopa, who was lying on a temporary device made by Hyun-jun, greeted them.

“Nonsense. Something like this… … .”

“Umm, what should I do… … So cute… … .”

Gong Ji-won didn’t even come close because he was afraid he might get infected.

“Master Jang, what did you make of this?”

“It was created as a temporary measure to prevent hypothermia. I tried changing the ice pack to a warming pack. This way, there is no need for electricity.”

“Ah… … All you need is warm water… … .”

“The problem is that we have to keep monitoring the temperature, but it will help right now.”

How did you even think like this?

no more than that

How did Hyun-jun know that the baby would come back to life?

She looked at Hyunjun with admiration eyes. For a short period of one week, Hyun-jun was a series of surprises for Gong.

He knew that he was not an ordinary resident through medical treatment, but the figure of Hyun-jun now was more than that.

For the rest of the volunteer period, Hyunjun and Sunye went to Soka’s house after the treatment was over.

Although he miraculously survived, the next month was important to live a healthy life for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, while they were there, Bofa showed off her cuteness without any major problems, and took the attention of the two.

My week at Prey Bang went by much faster than I thought.

At first, the volunteers, who were worried about the poor environment, regretted the parting as if they had ever done it.

The medical staff was that good, not to mention the residents.

To them, the volunteers were like angels that came down from heaven.

Among them, Hyun-jun’s popularity in particular was beyond imagination.

“Teacher, can’t we go?”

Hyunjun stroked Soka’s weeping hair.

He also did not fall off easily. He never imagined that he would be so friendly with the people here until he left Korea.

“Seeing that the Buddha sent a teacher, it seems that our family has accumulated great virtues in our past lives. thank you. Teacher.”

Soka’s father also bowed his head toward Hyunjun.

“I will definitely come back. I can’t wait to see how big Sokawa and Bopa will be. Sokaya. You have to study hard.”

“… … Yes. I will definitely become a doctor like you. So, sir, you mustn’t forget me… … . Boo… … . Wow!”

Soka’s small face, who was trying to say goodbye with dignity, as her father had asked, was inevitably distorted.

“Oh, you crybaby. How can I forget you?”

“Teacher!”

Soka hugged Hyun-jun, who was kneeling, in his arms.

It wasn’t just Soka’s family who felt sad.

As if worshiping a god, the people who had been receiving treatment and the people of the neighborhood joined me and sent him off with sincerity.

It was a somewhat sacred sight to see people joining hands at once with the sunset in the background.

The volunteers, who were drawn to the sight, boarded the bus with inexplicable emotions in their hearts, handfuls at a time.

Sun-ye Yoon’s eyebrows, sitting next to Hyun-jun, became half moons.

“I think it was an unforgettable two weeks.”

“Yes.”

“I think I can work really hard when I go to Korea. Hyun Joon-ah. thanks. For bringing me here.”

Her face, which was dyed red in the setting sun, looked so beautiful.

“It was nice to be with you too.”

Hyunjun reached out and grabbed her hand.

It seemed that it wasn’t just the darkening sunset that made her face a little more red.

I met many people and saved lives.

In addition to that, I got a clue about a cure for the flu, but Hyun-jun’s expression on the plane back to Korea from Phnom Penh was not bright.

The desire to do overseas medical service in earnest someday also took place.

Among the patients Hyun-jun treated in Cambodia, some were treated with drugs alone, but there were many cases where they were not.

patients requiring surgery.

Patients who need constant hormonal testing and taking medications, such as patients with hyperthyroidism, etc.

There were many cases that he had not been able to solve.

In particular, the words Soka’s father said, combined with the statistics on premature babies added by Ronnie, continued to linger in my head.

‘I have a lot of work to do when I return.’

[Hyunjun’s head seems complicated.]

‘You see?’

[Start with the easy ones and solve them one by one. The more the brain is empty, the more active it is.]

Thank you Ronnie for reading her mind.

Fortunately, Ronnie didn’t seem to care too much about the heavy conversation they had over the flu drug and the judgment that she had decided that she could not save Bofa.

No, maybe he didn’t know that he was simply overdoing himself by treating Ronnie, an artificial intelligence, too much like a human.

‘Yeah, flu drugs are important, but I think there’s definitely something I can do about premature babies.’

[Then you can solve that problem first.]

‘You’re right. Let’s do that.’

[Let’s search for related materials.]

‘OK. Ronnie.’

Another change was that Ronnie and Neural Network Synchronization were incomparably higher than before.

I didn’t realize it when I was in the hospital, but I found out while using my abilities.

The worries about how artificial intelligence got into humans have long since disappeared, but the worries about how to use that ability well have only just begun.

*

Two doctors in white coats scanned the ward and exchanged secret messages.

A man who had been targeted by their radar was busy with work.

“How is he these days? Don’t you feel like you’re more spirited than before?”

“I think so. It makes sense because the surgeon can’t even set foot in the operating room at all.”

The 3rd year of residency was the period in which my skills grew the fastest throughout the period of my major.

It was the result of the combination of the experience accumulated by the break up until the second year and the burden of having to be in the fourth year, right before becoming a specialist.

Spending such an important time only in the ward was powerless.

Seol Hyung-min, who was in his 4th year, gave me a pin cup right away.

“Mr. Kim. Who are you worrying about now?”

“No, it’s not that, but at a large conference called ILTS, he has such a great skill that he can perform liver transplantation surgery.”

“What is it? I dug my grave the world is It’s not just about skills. You have to be good at human relations, human relations.”

“Ah, sorry. Anyway, I used to talk about things that didn’t happen before, but it’s quiet these days.”

He apologized immediately, but Kim Min-cheol muttered to himself as he listened to Seol Hyung-min’s dog shit philosophy.

‘Hey, that’s why you’re the chief, who goes around doing background checks to make good relationships.’

Still, it wasn’t that he didn’t understand Seol Hyung-min.

It was really difficult for someone from another university to remain as a hospital fellow at Daehan University unless it was really exceptional.

Although Seol Hyeong-min was from Seoul, he was still from another university.

He was doing what he could to remain a Fellow.

‘Well, who is to blame for whom?’

Kim Min-cheol, who graduated from a local national university, sighed a little. He had no choice but to hold on to the ropes in order to survive.

“Anything special?”

“It’s just the same every day. All I do is work in the surgical ward, write reports, and in the evenings read papers at the medical office.”

“I need to report something… … .”

“Ah! After that, it seemed to be making something.”

“What?”

“I don’t know for sure, but it seems to be making some kind of bag or backpack… … .”

“bag? What bag?”

“So. I think it tasted a little off. Last time I saw him, he was also sewing.”

“It’s a bag… … . Should I report this as well?”

“I would love to be a chief. I also received a special mission from the director.”

“Hey, you also got a mission from me. If I stay in the hospital as a fellow, who will I take care of? So you just have to follow me.”

“all right. Chief!”

“Oh, it’s moving. Go and check what Hyunjoon Jang is doing again. don’t get caught not. Let me go too. See it with my own eyes.”

“Yeah!”

“Quiet. Don’t answer.”

“Yeah!”

“… … .”

[Approaching from 50 meters behind.]

Hyunjun sighed lightly.

This is no spy movie.

Hyun-jun knew that some of the surgical staff had been watching him since some time.

If you think about it, it was the beginning of the time when Vice President Pyo became the director.

[Approached 30 meters behind. I’m pretending to be drinking.]

‘done. Ronnie. Let’s just ignore it.’

[all right.]

As he said to Ronnie, Hyun-jun tried to ignore him, but the more he did, the more blatantly he spyed on him.

‘Do you really think you don’t know.’

After entering the storage room, Hyun-jun took out an item that looked like a backpack from the paper bag he had brought.

The door was closed, so there was no sound coming out.

“It wouldn’t be this hard to make a prototype.”

[Selecting the material was difficult. This is the sixth material.]

“Because neither you nor I have any knowledge in this area. This time the heat transfer should work properly… … .”

[The experience of doing things without any information was beneficial.]

“Hey, that’s right. How many times have you been to a sewing factory?”

[In that regard, we need to thank Director Pyo Jinyoung.]

“What?”

[If he hadn’t stopped Hyun-jun from entering the operating room, there would have been no time.]

“I think it’s a joke.”

[You’re joking.]

While talking to Ronnie, Hyun-jun prepared the items for the experiment.

At that moment, the door to the warehouse opened with a loud hinge sound.

“Ah… … .”

The sound of the two men spying on Hyun-jun opening the door to check the details in detail was heard.

“… … What’s going on?”

“Ah, that… … . So what is Master Jang doing here?”

Unlike the speechless second year, the fourth year raised the voice rather.

“After work on the ward, I was looking at personal work for a while. What’s wrong?”

As soon as he was caught, Seol Hyung-min looked at Hyun-joon’s things openly.

“Are you doing some work now?”

“It is personal. No need to worry.”

Hyunjun responded coldly to the opponent’s provocation.

“Can I give you just one word of advice?”

“… … .”

“I don’t know if it’s a bag or what it makes, but isn’t the surgeon’s scissors used for surgery? Aren’t you ashamed of the name of a surgeon? If it were me, I would have left already.”

Hyunjoon kept his mouth shut for a moment.

He couldn’t see it on the outside, but on the inside, a smirk came out.

Hyeon-jun’s world, who had experienced the world outside the hospital properly after visiting Cambodia, was expanding one step further.

To him, who was dealing with Pyo, Hyung-min Seol, one of the chiefs of many four years, seemed nothing but a dwarf.

In a way, he was even pitiful as he tried to somehow hold on to the ropes in the narrow world of a hospital.

“Smile?”

I thought I was laughing inside, but it seemed to appear on my face as well.

Hyun-jun’s face hardened as he smiled without answering his words.

“Sir Seol. What are you afraid of?”

“… … What?”

“Are you afraid that I will change and get on someone’s line?”

“My, why should I be afraid of that… … .”

“I was a graduate of Daehan University Hospital, and I experienced even an operation at a world-class conference called ILTS. He has also published papers in Nature and has been selected for the Olympus Project. I think that if I change my attitude and be a little flattered by the professors, it will be easy to become a fellow. So aren’t you afraid? I fear that my place will be lost.”

“… … .”

Seol Hyung-min’s body trembled as he was stabbed.

In this case, there are only a few choices you can make.

“But this child… … !”

Seol Hyung-min, who was about to press down on the age difference, the only advantage, stopped in the middle.

‘Oh, why are these little eyes so bloody… … .’

“If you have nothing else to say, please leave.”

“Well, that’s right. I get it.”

Avoiding Hyunjun’s gaze, he crawled out the door.

When the two of them completely disappeared from view, Hyun-jun, who had calmed down for a while, continued the experiment he was doing.

Thirty minutes had passed.

Shouts broke through the warehouse door and echoed in the hallway.

“Another failure!”

[The next material is… … .]

“stop… … . now stop… … !”

Seol Hyung-min wasn’t the problem.

Now is the time to focus on fighting yourself.

Failure was repeated, but Hyunjun did not give up.

It took two months to find a material engineering thesis, find new materials, and find a sewing factory that makes products.

Finally, a prototype that has been successfully tested in clinical trials has been released.

‘Today, let’s post a prototype on the Honors bulletin board. I wonder what kind of feedback the members will give.’

It’s been two months since I came back from Cambodia.

Hyeon-jun, who was stuck on a project to prevent hypothermia in premature babies, made his own achievements through countless trials and errors.

Except for body temperature maintenance substances, most of them had nothing to do with medicine.

It was difficult at first, but the advice of the members of the Olympus Honors Club was very helpful.

Of course, all the basic ideas were a collaboration between Hyunjun and Ronnie.

The project started the day after returning from Cambodia.

“Is an incubator nearly $20,000?”

[Searched for the lowest price.]

“Whoa… … . great. First, let’s get the basic concept. First of all, it has to be cheap.”

[How much is the estimated price?]

“Well… … . Even if it’s expensive, it’s under 50,000 won.”

[The gap between 20 million won and 50,000 won is large.]

“Still, that’s the point. It has to be cheap so even the poor can use it.”

[all right. What is the next concept?]

“It has to be easy to use and portable.”

[Given the power supply and demand situation in Cambodia, you should also consider not using electricity as an energy source.]

“Yes! An incubator that can be used without electricity.”

[Is the basic concept over like this?]

“What else? Well, shouldn’t it be hygienic? We have to prevent infection and make it usable by multiple people, not just one baby.”

[good idea.]

“OK. Let’s take these four as basic concepts and develop them once.”

The prototype of the project that started like that was placed in front of Hyun-jun.

It was an incubator made of a blue cloth that looked like a backpack, big enough for a baby to fit in.

The part where the baby’s face is located is made of a transparent material so that the mother can check the baby’s condition.

Hyunjun nodded his head at the excellent quality.

He took a white object from the inside of the blue cloth and immersed it in the hot water he received.

It was a PCM (Phase Change Material) heating pad developed with the help of Honors Club members.

“Count down to ten minutes.”

[all right.]

After 10 minutes, Hyun-jun took out the warm pad and put the pad on the back of the blue cloth again.

[PCM heating pad maintains 37 degrees Celsius for 4 hours.]

“When the baby gets hot, does the PCM absorb the heat?”

[Yes.]

With this portable incubator, there was no need to worry about hypothermia in premature babies.

In particular, it was helpful in life as there was no need for the

mother to check the condition of the baby every minute and every second .

“great. Now the most important price. Ronnie, what is the final production price when you say mass production?”

Hyun-jun waited for Ronnie’s answer with a pounding heart. Even if all the functions were perfect, it would be a waste if it was expensive.

[It is around 3,000 won.]

The price was much lower than the standard of 50,000 won.

“Three thousand dollars? really?”

[Calculated by combining materials and production cost. Design and idea costs are not included.]

“of course. It’s not about making a profit. So, did we do it?”

[The details still need to be refined, but they all fit the basic concept.]

“Good! Then, let’s try the internal temperature check experiment once more, take a video and post it on the Honors bulletin board.”

Hyunjun couldn’t hide his excitement.

For a month, he was engrossed in the development of the premature baby, Bopa, worried that his health might deteriorate.

“Ahh… … What time is it now?”

[It is two in the morning.]

“Now, let’s go to bed.”

Hyun-jun, who wrote the background and concept of developing a portable incubator and uploaded a video, headed to the watch room like a zombie from the crowding tiredness.

I hadn’t slept for a few hours and woke up like in the morning. Thanks to that, Hyun-jun instinctively carried out the schedule, forgetting to upload the video.

Hyeon-jun realized the truth only in the evening and turned on the computer.

“Would you have written about one or ten people?”

Since it is the interface of world-class researchers and scholars, it was difficult to get the attention of more than 30 members no matter how controversial and popular an article was.

Basically, they were busy people.

By the way.

Hyun-jun checked the bulletin board and continued to scroll down.

Endless feedback on his own posts unfolded in front of his eyes.
