As a resident with an extreme job, Sori didn’t even have time to think of excuses to slack off, as she received an emergency call.
The legal working hours are just a formality, as residents sometimes work up to 120 hours a week at the hospital, almost three times the standard 40-hour work week. It feels like relentless hard labor.
With over fifty calls a day, it’s a blessing just to get proper sleep.
So, what if I want to skip study for just one day?
With these thoughts, Sori hurried into the emergency room.
“Doctor! We have a patient with cerebral infarction, and the brain edema is severe.”
“We’ve administered mannitol, but the intracranial pressure hasn’t dropped at all. We need to proceed with a decompression surgery.”
A nurse informed Sori, who was checking the chart, with a troubled expression.
“Yes, but right now… there seems to be a conflict of opinions among the guardians.”
“Conflict of opinions?”
Amidst the urgency where every second counts, dealing with guardians’ disagreements was the last thing she needed.
“It’s my father. Who are you to decide about the surgery?”
A fresh-faced young man in his twenties was arguing with a woman in her mid-thirties.
The patient’s age, 53. So, this means…
“How can a son say such things? The man needs surgery right now!”
“You’re pathetic, sticking around an old man just to pick up crumbs. Do you even understand?”
“So, what? You wish for Mr. Daewook to die? Is that it?”
“Quiet. Don’t meddle in other people’s family matters.”
“This is why Daewook doesn’t trust his own children.”
“What, you done talking?”
Observing this for a moment, Sori realized that getting consent for surgery might be more challenging than the surgery itself. She intervened between the two.
“Who exactly is the legal guardian of patient Kim Daewook?”
“It’s me, the son.”
A sturdy young man with dyed green hair and a leather jacket responded.
“Please sign the surgery consent form. The brain edema is worsening rapidly, and we need to perform a surgery to open the lateral skull.”
“Will he survive the surgery? Can he live normally?”
“What?”
Why is he speaking informally?
“Operating on the brain, can you guarantee his sanity after he wakes up?”
“Of course, I can’t guarantee the progno
“Let me repeat, patient Kim Daesik is in a critical condition. You’ve been fully informed already.”
“I don’t know. If you want to do the surgery, wake him up and get his consent.”
“What kind of trash is this?”
Sori couldn’t hold back her words.
“Hey, did you just call me trash? Hey! Hey!”
The man suddenly lunged at Sori, but an intern quickly stepped in between them. Sori, unable to hold back her anger, confronted him.
“He’s still your father, isn’t he? Even if you despise your parents, you should save them and then settle your issues. Are you saying you’d rather let him die like this?”
“This, this… Hey, you! What are you saying, woman? Just because you’re a doctor, you think you can interfere?”
The intern tried to block the man, but couldn’t match his strength.
Then, smack!
Sori’s face turned sharply as the man’s swinging arm hit her. She felt a stinging pain, more like a slap across her ear than her cheek.
An emergency doctor belatedly grabbed the man. He struggled violently.
“Let go! Hey, you, come here!”
Sori’s suppressed anger surged. Just as she was about to retaliate,
“Agh!”
The man’s flailing arm was twisted behind him, and he was forcefully pushed against the wall by none other than Seo Hyunwoo.
“Violence against a doctor in a hospital is a crime.”
“Ouch! It hurts! Who are you? What violence? She got hit by my hand that I swung! Let go of me!”
Security arrived at the emergency room door. Hyunwoo stepped back, leaving the man to the security officers.
The chaotic emergency room lounge quieted down instantly with Hyunwoo’s arrival.
Hyunwoo turned around, his gaze sharply fixing on Sori’s face.
“Are you crazy?”
At his stern words, the intern beside him stumbled backward in fear.
Having caused a disturbance in the emergency room, Sori, prepared to be scolded, hung her head low.
Hyunwoo approached and gently held her face, inspecting it. Her cheek and ear were reddened from the impact.
“Why did you have to step in like that?”
At his sigh, Sori stepped back, covering her left cheek with her hand. Her entire face throbbed, and her ear felt numb from the heavy hit.
“We’ll talk later.”
Saying this in a low voice, Hyunwoo turned to the patient in question. It was urgent, as the patient was in a state of unconsciousness.
Sehun, who had arrived late, whispered to Sori.
“I warned you. Don’t get involved and pass it to a higher-ranking doctor. Do you really want to die?”
“I’m sorry.”
Sehun pushed her shoulder and ran toward Hyunwoo.
It was adding insult to injury.
Desperate for the day to end, Sori longed to go home.
Today, filled with several emergency surgeries, felt like a storm had swept through.
