Medical Return

How long has it been?

Pinch.

The door of the small room opens and comedy comes in.

“Honey, what are you doing without coming in? ”

She opened her eyes to see if she had just woken up.

She still had a beautiful and lovely look to see how many years had gone by.

“I was just watching. You're handsome, right?”

“Of course he's handsome. It looks like someone.”

“How do you adapt to elementary school? ”

“Yeah, I was worried about the Korean school for the first time, but she's doing great. She's going to the parents' party soon, and she's not coming, is she? ”

“I'll give you a minute. ”

Comedy smiled.

“It's okay. I know you're busy. Don't overdo it. ”

And the conversation stopped for a moment.

They looked at their precious son.

“Honey?”

“Yes.

“Is something wrong? ”

“ ……! ”

Comedy worryingly asked.

“You used to look at me without saying a word every time you had trouble in America. ”

“It's okay. It's okay. ”

“Really?”

Jinhyun smiled as if he was not worried.

“Yeah, I've got a lot of work to do. Everything's fine, except I'm tired. ”

“Yes?”

“Yeah, really. Don't worry.”

Jinhyun nodded.

In fact, nothing happened.

They went back to the room, turned off the lights and asked for sleep.

“Comedy.”

“Huh?”

“Can I go to Jungpyeong for a while this weekend? ”

“What's wrong with Yangpyeong? ”

“I have some work to do. ”

“Yes. Be careful. ”

And before going to sleep, Jinhyun said,

“Love you.”

Hye-mi smiles and digs into Jinhyun's arms.

“I've heard that story for a long time. Good night."

* * *

And the weekend.

Jinhyun drove to Yangpyeong. The black BMW split the wind.

‘You've never ridden a Porsche in the end. ’

One of the goals of life after the regression was Porsche.

The rest are dermatologists, Gangnam Building. Thinking about it, nothing has been achieved.

Do you want to go back to work and live in the Porsche and Gangnam buildings? ’

Realization was unrealistic.

I didn't buy it because I didn't have the money.

The money he made in connection with the pharmaceutical companies in the United States was enormous.

But did the years change him?

He was able to get all the things he wanted, but now he doesn't want them.

It's early in the weekend, so the roads are shattered.

Only an hour later, Jinhyun stopped at the secluded outskirts of Pyeongpyeong, among others, which were cleared to the north.

There was a horrible building on a quiet field under the mountain, so it was written on a half-hedged sign.

Hyo-won Psychiatric Hospital.

It is a hospital that treats patients with severe psychosis.

No, that's a good point. It was actually close to incarceration.

It was a gathering place for people with mental illness who were abandoned by families who no longer had a recovery plan.

Pinch.

Opening the door, I saw a brick reminiscent of an old prison, and an old receptionist hit him.

“What's going on? ”

“I'm here for a viewing. I contacted you a few days ago. ”

“Oh, that one-on-one hospital! You're really here.”

The receptionist stood up angrily and guided his progress.

I was surprised that the director of one of the country's top hospitals visited this place.

“Fourth floor. There's a problem with the elevator. We have to walk up. ”

“Yes, it doesn't matter. ”

The only problem seemed not to be the elevator. The whole hospital is worn out, and I look broken.

Did you even have an inpatient? I can't see anyone. There's very little popularity. ’

He climbed the dusty stairs and asked.

“Were there any special problems while you were here? ”

“Who?”

“I'm going to a sightseeing right now……. ”

“Not really. Most people with negative schizophrenia are quiet. Just be quiet. Very quiet. ”

Symptoms of schizophrenia come in two broad categories.

Benign symptoms such as hallucinations and hallucinations.

Symptoms of speech, such as sensory slowness, apathy, and misinterpreted language.

Soon after arriving on the fourth floor, a large iron gate appeared.

The old man took out the Dalgrick key and opened the door, and entered the ward where the severely ill were hospitalized.

The nurse managing the ward looked at them.

There was also a bodyguard to see if it was prepared for an injustice.

“What's going on? ”

“You're here for a visit. ”

“Who?”

“Room 19.”

“Here's the key. ”

The old man handed over the key and led him to the room in the corner.

“This is the place. Tell the nurse outside when the visit is over. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Pinch.

The old man opened the door and disappeared.

But Jin Hyeon only looked into the infirmary quietly and did not go inside.

Precisely not a step down.

Why am I here? ’

Head muscles.

Heart beat for no reason.

There was a memory in this that I didn't want to turn back most of my life.

But he shook his head.

‘It's all gone by anyway. I'm just here to see a patient as a doctor. ’

I hardened my heart and went into my arms.

And... Jin Hyun met.

A distant old friend, but who turned into a horrible nightmare.

The ideal people who were in the Memory Piece became a reality in front of Jin.

“ ……. ”

The Aboriginal people said nothing despite the arrival of the interviewer.

Absolutely.

His eyes were blurred, staring at the void with nothing, but no focus.

“Anomalies.”

The people were all worn out and did not flutter like wooden stones on a fungus bed.

Emotional glutes, insensitivity, anxiety, apathy… were typical of schizophrenic patients with negative symptoms.

“Anomalies.”

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, the Mac just released.

This is what it looks like to commit such ugly crimes.

“What the hell. ”

“ ……. ”

“What the hell..... ”

Jinhyun sighed.

I don't know who I've hated in years.

“I'm here to see you. Liver cancer in your body, if you don't operate now, you can't use your hands. ”

“ ……. ”

Of course there is no answer.

Is it still an illusion?

It also seems that his eyes are facing Jinhyun. Soon it returned to its original form.

“In fact, it is still late and dangerous. But if you operate now, there's a chance of a cure, so as a doctor, I want you to have surgery. If you just let go of the liver cancer, you won't last long. ”

This is the story of a physician who is excluded from his personal feelings.

I didn't like being honest.

But anyone in the world has a right to be treated. And the doctor has a duty to save the patient.

Even the most hated person in a lifetime.

Jinhyun said to the ‘patient’ as a 'doctor’.

“If you don't refuse, I will proceed with the surgery. If you don't like it, tell me now. ”

No matter how severe the negative symptoms are, simple pseudo-expressions can be made.

With Jinhyun's honest sentiments... I wanted the ideal people to say no.

He was also a human being, and he didn't want to cure the abnormal people.

Why not?

It's the ugliest memory of his past life.

But the ideals had no answer.

I'm just staring at the air.

Jinhyun sighed.

* * *

That's how the surgery was decided.

He was sentenced to an indefinite term of imprisonment and was in service, but there was no legal problem with proceeding with the surgery if only the police were present during admission.

However, the consent of the caregiver was required because the patient himself was unable to speak physically, but the irony was that the caregiver was now the closest relative of the elderly.

Because his wife, Hye-mi, was his half-brother.

"The people are my brother-in-law. It's not funny. ’

Jinhyun, who came into the O.R., put on gloves.

"Don't think it's useless, just focus on the surgery. ’

I couldn't guarantee the outcome, no matter how difficult the procedure was.

‘I have to try to save him. ’

I thought about it, and Jin Hyeon erased the notion.

That's it.

At the moment, he's a doctor, and the abnormal is just a patient.

Other things you just have to think outside.

“Harmonic scalpel. ”

Titik. Titik.

The ultrasonic vibrations that seemed to be riding the prefecture chopped the liver.

Choking, blood spilled, and tensioned air choked the O.R.

“Director, your blood pressure is dropping! ”

“Walk there, Norepinephrine! Prepare for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy! ”

Surgery was not as easy as expected.

A few times, the gobi came, the blood pressure and pulse shook like candles.

“… Bovie. ”

But Jinhyun remained silent and focused only on surgery without shaking.

How many hours has it been?

Tuck.

Half of the liver, including the mass, fell out.

The surgery was a success!

“Well done, Director. ”

The specialist who came to the First Assist said with admiration.

I can't believe you made it through this. Kim Jin-hyun was also the director.

However, Jinhyun did not feel comfortable.

“Finish it.”

“Yes!”

She took off her robe and left the O.R.

Originally, he explains the course of surgery directly to the caregivers who are waiting for the surgery to end.

But it's a natural story, but the Aboriginal people had no guardian.

“Stupid. What are you doing..... ”

Jinhyun went up to the board of directors to see the job of shaking his head.

* * *

Abnormal people were admitted to the surgical ward and subsequently treated.

The police also resided in the same room as prisoners serving their sentences.

Even though it was a difficult operation, the abnormal had a smooth recovery.

There was not much volume left in the liver, but it did not progress to liver failure.

‘You can leave in a few days. ’

I checked the surgical site wounds during the rounds and thought about the progress.

Unlike other patients' rounds, the care of abnormal people was strange.

There was no conversation with each other. I look at the wounds, I examine the condition.

It is natural.

There's no way you can have normal communication with people with severe schizophrenia with negative symptoms.

Well, it had nothing to do with the physical examination and blood tests. No, I was rather comfortable not having a conversation.

And before discharge, last day.

Jinhyun opened his mouth.

“It's all better. You can leave tomorrow. You won't have to worry unless it happens again. ”

I wasn't expecting an answer.

Just a mechanical explanation to the patient as a doctor.

Jinhyun ended his last rounds and turned his back.

Now, if you leave this room, you will never meet more people for the rest of your life.

But it was a moment to get out of the room.

I heard an unbelievable voice.

“... Thank you. ”

Voices first heard after the reunion.

“ ……! ”

Jinhyun turned his head in surprise.

However, the elderly were still sitting in bed, staring at the void.

There was no sign of moving his mouth.

‘What? What did you hear wrong? ’

Jinhyun looked suspicious.

He shakes his head as he tries to ask you if you just said that.

Instead, I said a word.

“Be well. ”

* * *

I have never heard of the Aboriginal people since.

Ah... About three years later, I saw news of a fire in Hyeongwon Psychiatric Hospital where he was hospitalized.

It looks like it was managed in a mess and ended up being a division.

Fortunately, there were not many hospitalized patients and the action was well underway and there were no major personal injuries.

There were only a few deaths and missing patients on the fourth floor... I don't know who they were.

There was a big social issue, but I didn't care. I didn't want to know exactly.

And time passed again.
