“That is proper. The place was the very best yield from final yr? Wasn’t it the most cancers heart? Should not we put the oncology clinic on the forefront?”
Amongst them, Gained Dong-Gil, who was sitting with a misplaced expression, waited for the room to settle down and began to speak.
“Everybody, settle down. I do not suppose we will remedy this simply by getting indignant. The vice dean was a surgeon, so he’s too ignorant about how the outpatient workplace is run. Let’s take this chance to indicate that the middle of therapy is inside drugs.”
“How?”
“I imply we must always all cooperate. We should always diligently ask the neurosurgery division for a second opinion. Have you ever met a affected person who doesn’t have a headache?”
A lot of the professors nodded after realizing the true intentions hidden inside Gained Dong-Gil’s phrases.
Regardless of how skilled a surgeon was, he couldn’t grasp every specialty of inside drugs. It will be humiliating if a physician failed to reply correctly when requested for a second opinion.
“Specifically, I feel we must always present the younger physician who’s beginning this week what occurs if he messes round.”
At Gained Dong-Gil’s subsequent phrases, professors round him coughed awkwardly. As a result of it was not one thing to be mentioned by the one that bought taught whereas appearing up recklessly through the briefing session.

“Oh, however he’s nonetheless a surgeon.”
Gained Dong-Gil muttered like this, however resulting from anxiousness within the nook of his chest, he turned his head towards Lee Ki-cheol, the top of the tumor division.
“Director Lee, are you near the top of the most cancers heart?”
“Properly, we’re from the identical faculty.”
“There is not any motive for less than the interior drugs to behave. Different surgical departments may also have a number of complaints about neurosurgery. Inform me. There’s additionally the undisputed No. 1 surgical outpatient physician.”
The dialogue on countermeasures held contained in the workplace of the built-in inside drugs division’s director continued till the afternoon.

Dowook, who yawned and bought off the elevator, turned to the extensive outpatient space.
From dermatology to respiratory drugs, it felt like he was standing on the entrance of a grocery store.The house was crowded with sufferers ready for medical therapy.
He targeted his consideration within the outpatient space of the neurosurgery division, the place three personal clinics have been hooked up. It was fairly small in comparison with the nephrology division proper subsequent to it with eight clinics.
The rationale why the neurosurgery division occupied such a small space was as a result of the area of backbone was separated into one other clinic.
Even so, he couldn’t assist however be envious that the clinic had a ready room with a superb ambiance.
‘It’s not like our division would not have many visiting sufferers, however it isn’t quite a bit both.’

At round 1:05, Dowook walked again to the reception desk.
“It’s previous the shift. Ought to I nonetheless wait?”
“That is unusual. He took over a affected person on the finish as a result of they mentioned it was a light case.”

“The therapy for thyroiditis just isn’t throughout the jurisdiction of neurosurgery.”
“Ugh. I am dying of ache. Go this manner and that approach. You retain making me go round. What’s mistaken with these normal hospitals?”
The nurse, who didn’t lose her sort smile to the affected person who was grumbling and strolling out, regarded again to Dowook.
“I feel you may go now.”
Dowook left the nurse who appeared excellent at coping with upset sufferers and moved to the primary clinic.
‘Wait. Thyroidism? Why did the interior drugs affected person come right here?’
Standing on the door, he might see yet one more particular person inside apart from Professor Shin Sang-woong, an in depth cerebrovascular specialist.
He had a reputation tag with “Professor Kim Han-sung of Built-in Inner Drugs” on his chest.
Kim Han-sung opened his mouth.
“The medical historical past is simply fever signs for sore throat, so I could not have identified subacute thyroiditis straight away. Anyway, thanks to your assist. No less than it isn’t a cerebral artery illness.”

Professor Shin, who was packing his bag, checked out Dowook.
“You’re right here, Dr. Park?”
“Professor, thanks to your onerous work.”
Dowook got here shut and pointed outdoors.
“What was that affected person simply now?”
Professor Shin sighed deeply.
“Did not you hear? Due to the built-in outpatient or no matter, the interior drugs division is set to behave up.”
“Act up?”
Professor Shin pointed to the affected person’s chart on the monitor.
“They bring about in a affected person whose signs are ambiguous to cooperate and make it as tough for us as attainable. After all, I doubted the mind facet.”
Dowook regarded on the chart and groaned.
The most typical motive for somebody to have signs like headache and fever was a chilly. But it surely wasn’t straightforward to diagnose if there weren’t another indicators corresponding to swollen tonsils or coughing.
“Watch out, Dr. Park. Should you do not intend to use for built-in outpatient help, do not even take a request for session. They’re fairly decided.”
Professor Shin walked out of the clinic whereas clicking his tongue.
Dowook sat in his seat and recalled the struggle of rigidity through the briefing a couple of days in the past.
‘One thing troublesome could occur.’
Ring, ring.
The intercom on the desk rang. Dowook answered and heard the voice of the nurse on the reception desk.

“I am going to write you a prescription for migraines. Should you’re pondering of surgical procedure, do not waste your medical bills by transferring round varied hospitals.….”
“I am going to do the surgical procedure.”
“Will you?”
“Physician, I got here right here on function after studying the article.”
“Then I am going to schedule an intensive examination and call you.”
The eleventh affected person left the clinic, and Dowook regarded on the clock. It was solely 3 o’clock.

Choi Hoo’s sense was the quickest and most correct diagnostic software in entrance of signs requiring neurosurgery.
Now, he might get a transparent concept of the surgical course of simply by touching the affected person, and it was onerous to think about this to be somebody’s sense.
Ring, ring.

After accepting the extra intense stimulating sensation as a lot as attainable, he shortly returned to his clinic. Then, he opened the chart of the affected person who requested session.
Dowook picked up the telephone and known as Professor Lee Il-sang and slowly began to talk.

-That is proper. There is not any abnormality within the head CT, however paralysis is the one clue.
A state through which anybody might solely diagnose cerebral infarction. Nonetheless, it should have been taken out as a result of it could not be a cerebral infarction.
