I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

The Surgeon Who Became a Fire (484): Abduction

Uncertain Surgery (1)

After Kang Ji-yeon pulled out all of her needles, Han Jin-soo massaged the back of Min Wol-rae’s patient’s neck again.

Then, mysteriously, she woke up, who had been snoring.

“Hmm, I think I fell asleep… Is the treatment already over?”

“Yes, Mrs. You must be very tired?”

“Oh, now I see that this is the doctor who removed the lump in my stomach at Seok-tae’s hospital. I couldn’t remember before, but now I do. I heard from other doctors that the operation was really good… Thank you.”

“Do you remember me?”

“Then remember now. Anyway, I think I fell asleep, but I feel like I slept very well.”

Deputy director Song Seok-tae was very surprised to see that his mother, who was talking to Han Jin-soo, had clear eyes unlike someone who had just woken up.

‘My mother’s eyes had never shone so bright in the past few years… I don’t think the symptoms of dementia disappeared at once with a single acupuncture needle.’

It was a simple change in her eyes, but Vice Director Song Seok-tae somehow thought that her mother would have improved a lot. Of course, you would have to take it home and keep looking at it to know for sure.

“Deputy Director, today’s treatment is over.”

“Yes thank you. Oh, come to think of it, it seems that the director will find a director sooner or later.”

At the words of the vice president, Han Jin-soo tilted his head.

“yes? Are you the director?”

“Yeah, yesterday a patient from China was admitted to the hospital, and it was said that she was the wife of the Deputy Superintendent of Public Security. I haven’t been able to confirm the test results, but from what the cancer center staff said yesterday, it seems that I was already diagnosed with esophageal cancer in China. Well, the center staff seem to be so sure.”

At the words of the vice president, Han Jin-soo nodded his head.

In fact, almost all hospitals do several tests to confirm cancer, but most doctors are certain of cancer based on symptoms and even guess what stage it is.

“Even if the test results didn’t come out, if even the cancer center staff were convinced, esophageal cancer would be almost certain. But, of course, the esophagus… There is a high possibility that it has metastasized to nearby organs.”

When Han Jin-soo expressed concern, the vice president nodded.

Most of the organs in the abdominal cavity have a membrane called the serosa surrounding the outer wall of the organ, but there is no serosa in the esophagus, so when cancer occurs, it relatively easily penetrates the outer wall of the esophagus and invades the surrounding organs.

In addition, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels are abundantly distributed in the submucosal layer of the esophagus, so it was easy for cancer cells to metastasize to lymph nodes around the esophagus or metastasize to other organs through lymphatic vessels or blood vessels.

So, when most patients go to the hospital after detecting an abnormality in the esophagus, the placenta has already metastasized to other organs and cannot be used.

“So I guess the director is worried too. As Director Han knows, organs around the esophagus are usually not important.”

“It is unavoidable for a patient to die of illness, but since the other person is the other person, the director must be worried too.”

“yes. I was very proud that my son became the ambassador to China, but when I see things like this, I don’t think that’s all that good.”

Han Jin-soo’s face also became calm.

No matter how good one is in surgery, it is unreasonable to treat a terminally ill cancer patient whose cancer cells have spread to multiple organs.

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Then, the cell phone I left on the desk in the clinic rang.

When I checked, it was the director of Agu University Hospital.

‘Somehow, it looks like the vice-inspector’s wife’s surgery I just talked about…..’

“Yes, Director.”

―Director Han, are you busy right now?

“I can talk on the phone since I just finished the treatment.”

―Ehh~. Yesterday, the wife of a high-ranking official of the Communist Party of China visited the hospital, but a biopsy showed that she had cancer of the esophagus, and a biopsy showed that the surrounding organs had already been found

.

‘If it has already metastasized, there is little chance of survival even with surgery… What should I do?’

If I didn’t do the surgery, there was nothing to be held responsible for.

But if you do surgery, you have to take responsibility for the bad results.

No matter how much consent was obtained for the operation, the situation could become complicated if the other party was a family member of a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party.

―…So I want to have the surgery as soon as possible, but how can I find the time?

While hesitating, Han Jin-soo suddenly asked himself a question.

Since when did I hesitate to have surgery because I was afraid of sequelae?

Aren’t you the one who tried to save the patient somehow even when sanitation, facilities, and tools were in a mess when he was a firefighter?

At that time, did you consider the status of the patient and cover the patient to avoid danger?

Absolutely not.

tall.

For an instant, my heart hardened and the heavy burden felt like an insignificant excuse.

‘There’s a better chance of survival if I do it than if another doctor does it!’

“If esophageal cancer has spread to other organs, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. I will make time for you whenever.”

-That’s right. Thank you. Then, I will inform Professor Ko that a director can be on standby at any time.

Director Shin’s tense voice suddenly brightened at Han Jin-soo’s definite answer.

“Then, are Professor Ko and I collaborating?”

―That’s right.

“All right.”

After Han Jin-soo hung up the phone, not only Song Seok-tae, vice president, but also Eul Yeon-kyung and Kang Ji-yeon showed a surprised expression.

“If metastasis is very unlikely, are you still thinking about surgery?”

“yes.”

“You must be thinking of the case where the results weren’t good, right?”

“Yes, I am thinking. But even thinking about it again, I think I should do my best to save it.”

“That’s true, but… Hmm~. okay I hope the surgery goes well.”

The deputy director nodded and looked at Han Jin-soo with a different look than before.

‘I only saw him as a talented genius, but I guess that wasn’t all. It’s a considerable risk, but to take it… He’s so big that I can’t fathom!’

If it were you… would you say you were going to have surgery?

No matter how much the deputy director pondered, the answer did not come easily. Probably… you will conclude that it is not. As I thought about it, I realized once again how difficult the decision Han Jin-soo had been.

* * *

The power of public security in China was as great as the combined power of the Korean police and prosecutors.

Because of this, the Superintendent of Public Security always ranks high enough to fit within one finger of the ranks of Communist Party officials.

Deputy Chief Inspector Chin Tak-woo, who is tentatively appointed as the next chief inspector, could also be said to have a high level of power enough to fit within two fingers in that context.

Chen Tak-wu, who is known as a rare family member among Communist Party officials, felt despair as if the world was collapsing when his wife was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and doctors in China sentenced him to life, saying that he could not operate.

In the meantime, I heard the news of Han Jin-soo, a Korean doctor, who played an active role at Qingdao University Hospital when an earthquake occurred in Qingdao, making even the best doctors in China admire.

Jin Tak-woo learned that the Korean ambassador to China had invited Han Jin-soo, so he immediately contacted the Korean ambassador and admitted his wife to Agu University Hospital.

“I just got a call from my father, and Dr. Han Jin-soo said he would operate on my wife.”

In an instant, Jin Tak-woo’s eyes widened.

“Am I really?”

“yes.”

“Thank you, Ambassador Shin. Korean doctors all said they couldn’t operate and gave a 3-month life sentence…” “

Dr. It is difficult to be confident that the operation will be successful because it has metastasized.”

“I know that too. However, it is better to undergo surgery than to wait for the day I die without being able to do anything, so I appealed to Ambassador Lee.”

“…..”

It was not a matter of circumstances, it was half begging and half threatening, but Ambassador Shin said nothing.

“Then when was the date for the surgery?”

“I was in such a hurry that I decided to fast from today and have surgery tomorrow.”

“It’s my tomorrow. Then I should go to Korea right now.”

“Are you leaving now?”

For an instant, a bewildered light flashed in the eyes of Ambassador Shin.

If the Deputy Chief Inspector goes to Korea, no matter how unofficial he takes, he will not be able to avoid the eyes of the government and media.

If that happens, the reason for leaving will be revealed in an instant, and if the results after Han Jin-soo’s surgery are not good, there is a possibility that problems will arise in many ways.

Also, if the result is good, it will be noisy as it is good.

“yes.”

“I think it would be better not to go.”

“My wife is undergoing an operation right now, so are you telling me not to go to my husband?”

When the Deputy Chief Inspector asked questioningly, Ambassador Shin swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

Unlike a high-ranking official in the Communist Party, he is not authoritative and pathetic, but at times like this, he was rather picky.

“If the Deputy Superintendent goes and sees the public security guards, will the doctor be nervous and perform the surgery well?”

stop.

At Ambassador Shin’s question, Deputy Inspector General’s ferocious eyes shook.

The bodyguards were the ones who could not be separated even if they wanted to.

“It must be difficult to concentrate on the operation.”

“It is. In fact, the public security guards are also a problem, but the bigger problem is that reporters will follow and the Korean government will send people. Then it will be difficult for the hospital to be quiet.”

“Then do we have to wait until the wife comes back from surgery?”

“If you receive a call that the surgery is over, I will contact the Korean government and open an unofficial route, so please bring only a minimum of security personnel with you.”

“Keuheum, I want to run right away, but… they say it might interfere with the operation. I will be patient.”

“Good idea. It’s a very difficult surgery… You may not feel comfortable, but it’s best not to go.”

“Whoa~. I’ll have to call your wife first.”

When Deputy Superintendent went outside with his cell phone, Ambassador Shin sighed quietly.

‘I hope the surgery goes well…..’

If the surgery results are good, I could get a lot of help from the Deputy Chief Inspector when promoting bilateral relations in the future, but if not, it could be a big burden on the contrary.

Han Jin-soo postponed all patients scheduled in the morning to the afternoon and left for Agu University Hospital early in the morning.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the director of the hospital, Professor Ko Hyeon-jong, and the vice president greeted Han Jin-soo.

“Have the test results come out?”

Professor Ko Hyeon-jong nodded at Han Jin-soo’s question.

“Let’s discuss how to perform the surgery by looking at the result sheet.”

“All right.”

Professor Ko Hyeon-jong entered the room and clicked on the folders for endoscopy, barium esophagography, ultrasound, and CT scans on the computer screen in turn and showed them to Han Jin-soo.

Professor Ko showed the images of barium esophagography and continued.

“It looks like the tumor has spread to the respiratory tract, parts of the lungs, and the left lobe of the liver, as well as a number of lymph nodes visible here.”

“It has spread to the esophagus within the laparoscope, so a portion of the stomach will need to be removed as well.”

“yes. It will be a very major operation.”

The esophagus is located in the thoracic cavity in front of the spine and is located between the airway and the side of the aorta and both lungs behind the heart, so even if the chest was opened, the operation was very difficult.

click. Click…..

After moving the mouse and checking the CT, ultrasound, and endoscopy screens, Han Jin-soo closed his eyes for a while and simulated the surgery scene in his head.

As Han Jin-soo closed his eyes, Professor Ko, the director, and the deputy director looked at Han Jin-soo’s expression.

Han Jin-soo frowned for a long time before letting out a sigh, scratching his head, and rubbing his face with an angry expression.

Han Jin-soo opened his eyes only after about thirty minutes had passed.

The hospital director asked cautiously.

“How about it? Can you do the operation?”
