Chapter 8
Soon, Daeho stepped into the first zone of the emergency room.
There was a single area with curtains drawn all around.
Rustle.
“Please take care of this!”
The curtains quickly opened, revealing the paramedics coming out.
There.
Daeho moved toward them.
He greeted the passing paramedics politely and briefly.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Doctor? Oh, thank you.”
In that instant, they felt a subtle, unspoken connection as they passed each other.
Daeho reached the curtain.
Inside, the patient’s screams echoed.
-Aaaah! Ughh!
Followed by Kang Jinsu’s urgent voice.
“Doctor, the internal bleeding is severe.”
“……”
“The patella is barely palpable, and the pain level is extremely high!”
“What are you doing? Check the lab schedule immediately!”
Park Youngjun’s order rang sharply.
Kang Jinsu’s flustered reply came next.
“It’ll take an hour for the lab.”
“Then call orthopedics!”
“But the patient is in extreme pain.”
“That’s why we gave morphine. Watch and then transfer to orthopedics. Understood?”
Park Youngjun’s tone was harsh and impatient.
But.
Daeho was watching through the curtain.
“……”
His gaze was fixed on the emergency patient.
The patient’s face was twisted in pain, moaning uncontrollably.
-Aaaah!
Daeho wasn’t just observing.
The patient’s leg was swollen, almost ready to burst the pants.
Daeho’s eyes glowed sharply as he studied the injured limb.
Beep!
Fracture of femur
Femoral artery rupture
Fracture of fibula
Nerve damage
Muscle rupture
All these injuries formed a clear picture in his mind.
And the conclusion was immediate.
‘Emergency level 3. Urgent.’
In short, this was a critically injured patient.
Emergency treatment had to begin immediately.
At that moment, Park Youngjun barked at Kang Jinsu.
“What are you doing? Call orthopedics and transfer quickly!”
“But the leg is broken and swollen…”
“That’s why I said transfer quickly. Holding him won’t help!”
Park Youngjun glared, intimidating Kang Jinsu.
Kang Jinsu pleaded urgently.
“Doctor, even if we call now, I don’t know when they’ll arrive!”
“That’s orthopedics’ problem. I’ve given the order.”
Whoosh!
Park Youngjun turned away coldly.
That’s when Daeho raised his eyebrows.
Grrr.
He pulled the curtain open roughly.
Rustle!
He wanted to shout, but he held back once.
“Does a doctor turn away with an emergency patient right in front?”
“What… who are you!”
“Aren’t you going to treat him? Time is critical.”
“How dare you.”
Park Youngjun shouted, but Daeho didn’t blink.
“Answer me. Will you do it or just watch?”
“Hey, you…”
Park Youngjun’s lips trembled.
Whoosh.
Daeho didn’t wait. He shoved Park Youngjun aside.
Park staggered.
“Argh!”
Daeho ignored him and addressed Kang Jinsu.
“Dr. Kang, what are you doing? Just standing there?”
“Uh…”
Kang Jinsu hesitated. The patient’s screams continued.
-Aaaah! Ughh!
The patient gripped his shirt tightly, enduring the pain.
Daeho asked Nurse Nasanju to prepare immediately.
“Get bupivacaine and the emergency surgery kit ready.”
“But, still…”
“Right now!”
Ping!
Daeho’s fierce voice and intense gaze made her flinch.
The presence of Daeho felt like a mountain, overwhelming.
‘Whoa!’
Startled, Nasanju ran to the nurse station, not fully realizing why she was moving so fast.
At that moment, Park Youngjun sprang up.
His face was full of anger and disbelief.
“This brat pushed me? Who does he think he is?”
Daeho’s eyes flashed.
“If you’re not confident, step aside.”
“What? Who do you think you are?”
“Then, you do it!”
