Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 52 ° General Hospital Ghost Doctor Case (11) _

[The whole story _ Yang Shin-im's point of view]

Seven years ago, a new general hospital was established. Having worked as a doctor for several decades, I felt that I had to be here, and I achieved my dream of establishing a hospital. I felt proud as I watched the talented professors being filled one by one by my hands.

As time went by, word of mouth spread and patients flocked in. As a result, the hospital's sales increased, and our improved reputation was featured on the front page of the newspaper, and our hospital rose to the top ranks in the country. It was just as I had dreamed.

All of this happened in just one and a half years. In the meantime, the number of medical students who wanted to do internships at our hospital increased, and we introduced an internship examination system to recruit better talent.

In just two and a half years, our hospital has become a place that trains and employs excellent trainees and has become a dream hospital for medical students. I have worked very hard to get to this point. I have never slept more than three hours a day and have worked overtime almost every day.

But this burden did not last long. The process of accepting and training trainees with insufficient skills required too much manpower, and in the process, there were many cases where surgery or treatment schedules were delayed. Complaints from doctors erupted here and there, and it became unmanageable.

So the last card he pulled out was to put the trainees with high test scores into surgery. He would sneak the trainees in through the back door, and when the main doctor would perform the surgery, the remaining trainees would just take care of the rest.

The conditions were quite strict. The intern test scores were only allowed to be reduced by 2 to 3 points from the full score, and the operating room interns were selected by carefully considering the reputations of fellow interns and the professors in charge.

From the trainee's perspective, there was no better offer. Unlike the experience of having to wait years to finally enter the operating room, it is not common to have the experience of performing surgery directly during the internship period. Thanks to this, the passion for learning has been intensified and the problems that have arisen have been resolved.

Then one day, not long after the third anniversary of the opening, an accident occurred. It was reported that a patient had died after a resident performing surgery in the ophthalmology department accidentally touched something. They tried to cover it up by saying that the patient was in a more critical condition than expected, but the atmosphere in the hospital became tense.

If word of a medical accident leaked out, the hospital would go under in an instant, so more and more professors and trainees started to voice their concerns. This was the part that was annoying.

Even if the professors are like that, what do you think the mere trainees know? Do you think that all interns with good grades on their intern exams are doctors? I gave you a chance, and this is how you repay my favor. I can't forgive you for that.

He started to pick out the names of the trainees who had sent him telegrams expressing concerns about proxy surgery and cut them off one by one. After he fired a large number of trainees with good grades and reputations, the number of trainees who complained decreased, and the professors’ complaints were resolved by just giving them more work.

After a few months of operation, I came across a brilliant new student who changed my beliefs. He was a neurosurgery intern named Jeong Ho-seok. He had been here for about half a year, and during that half year, his grades had never fallen below perfect, but he always refused surgery opportunities.

Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but for the first time, I read the telegram that the trainee sent all the way through. It was the same as the other telegrams in that it mainly concerned concerns about proxy surgery, but the way he spoke, his mission as a doctor, etc. were different from the other telegrams.

For the first time, I called the trainee to the director's office to interview him about the telegram. I was curious about what kind of person he was. I wondered if he was similar to my old self.

정호석 [26]

"Hello, Director. I am Jeong Ho-seok, a neurosurgery intern."

From the clear, clear eyes to the slightly smiling lips. It was definitely the face of a person with a dream. It was the face I had when I looked at myself in the mirror back then. I urged him to sit down because I wanted to talk quickly.

양신임 [45]

"I sent you a telegram, didn't I? I called you in to interview you about it."

정호석 [26]

"Oh... Really?"

양신임 [45]

"why?"

정호석 [26]

"That... I sent a telegram regarding the proxy surgery, but they said they wouldn't accept it."

정호석 [26]

"I sent it with great determination... but I was very surprised."

양신임 [45]

"There's something... different about Mr. Jeong Ho-seok's telegram."

양신임 [45]

"It was the first time I thought about an interview."

정호석 [26]

"It's an honor. Thank you."

양신임 [45]

"Then... would you like to tell me why you think the intern surgery system is flawed?"

The trainee, who had been thinking about it for a while, began to speak with emphasis on each word. Not only was his attitude in speaking like that, but even his answers were pleasing.

정호석 [26]

"I think that most interns overestimate their abilities based on good test scores and thus challenge themselves in surgical practice."

정호석 [26]

"You need to realize that any accidents or disadvantages that occur are your own responsibility..."

정호석 [26]

"It's a shame that you complain without realizing it."

정호석 [26]

"I sent a telegram because I felt sorry about that."

Rather than raising issues with the system itself that puts trainees into surgical practice, I think it is a mistake made by the trainees themselves, who failed to fulfill their responsibilities, and that the trainees should properly recognize their own abilities. It suited me very well.

양신임 [45]

"As for the other trainees... it doesn't seem like that."

정호석 [26]

"That's the only way I can think."

정호석 [26]

"Anyway, that's what I think."

정호석 [26]

"So... I would like you to add an interview with the director to the conditions for hiring surgical interns."

정호석 [26]

"How are you?"

Even if he doesn't participate in the surgical practice, he is the person who provides solutions for improvement. He is truly the person I was looking for. I suddenly feel like I want to work with him in the future.

양신임 [45]

"Good. Let's move in that direction."

양신임 [45]

"And our values seem to match quite well."

양신임 [45]

"I'll come to the director's office often from now on. I just hope we can become closer."

정호석 [26]

"I am honored."

Thankfully, the intern accepted my offer and we even exchanged contact information. Now, that intern named Jeong Ho-seok will safely join our hospital as an intern and become the next genius to follow in my footsteps. That is my second dream.

In this way, the trainees continued to perform proxy surgeries without any special measures, only adding an interview stage. As time went on, the trainees began to perform surgeries from the beginning, not just finishing them. As a result, more medical accidents occurred.

It was an inevitable procedure. We didn't operate to kill the patient, but we tried to save the patient, and the patient's condition was so serious that he died. We didn't even consider the sorrow of the bereaved family. We were blinded by sales.

Then, rumors began to spread that there was someone who was interfering with trainee Jeong Ho-seok. Not only did he threaten him, but he also ruined his training uniform, preventing him from doing his training. In the end, I interviewed trainee Jeong Ho-seok, who looked even more exhausted than when I first met him.

양신임 [45]

"Let's meet as an intern next time."

정호석 [26]

"thank you-"

It didn't take long to figure out who that person was. There was clear evidence because of this teacher who had burned down Mr. Jeong's study room, and everyone in the hospital knew about this teacher's temper, which had been harassing Mr. Jeong, so it wasn't hard to catch him.

It was only after Mr. Jeong's parents became critically ill that I called Mr. Lee for an interview. I had already considered firing him, but I wanted to hear his story.

양신임 [45]

“It’s my first time seeing you, Mr. Lee Soo-dam.”

이수담 [25]

"hello."

양신임 [45]

"I understand that you are the mastermind behind the recent unfortunate events. Is that correct?"

이수담 [25]

"Will you believe me if I say no?"

양신임 [45]

"What... Now that the evidence has all come out, would you believe me?"

이수담 [25]

"Well... that's strange."

양신임 [45]

"...What is it?"

이수담 [25]

"What did that idiot Hoseok oppa say to the director..."

이수담 [25]

"I thought you were fooled by Holladang."

양신임 [45]

"Don't you think that the language is a bit too harsh?"

이수담 [25]

"Since I've already met with the director, I'm going to tell him everything before I go."

이수담 [25]

"There was a rumor going around that Ho-seok oppa was in favor of putting trainees in surgeries."

이수담 [25]

"Is it true?"

양신임 [45]

"then?"

이수담 [25]

"It's true that you were deceived by my brother."

양신임 [45]

"What?"

이수담 [25]

"Why would my brother refuse to do surgical practice?"

이수담 [25]

"If you have the highest grades and reputation among all the trainees, it would be a loss not to do it."

양신임 [45]

"Well, Mr. Jeong... was humble."

이수담 [25]

"no?"

이수담 [25]

"It's not that I'm humble... I was one of those people who hated surgical practice."

이수담 [25]

"But my brother valued his career more and wanted to become a doctor so badly..."

이수담 [25]

"That's why I sent the telegram on purpose to please the director."

이수담 [25]

"Thanks to that, how are things going now?"

이수담 [25]

"The director trusts you completely."

양신임 [45]

"You don't seem to know much. Mr. Jeong isn't that kind of person."

양신임 [45]

"A person who has a sense of mission in his job and good values."

양신임 [45]

"A person who neither blames others nor the environment, but looks back at himself in order to develop himself."

양신임 [45]

"The Mr. Jeong I've seen so far is that kind of person."

이수담 [25]

"That's just the director's opinion."

이수담 [25]

"You only say empty words to the director."

이수담 [25]

"So how would you know my brother's true nature?"

이수담 [25]

"I'm telling you now."

It didn't make sense. Up until now, Jung Ho-seok has been deceiving me? He only tells me what I want to hear so that he can look good to me and get a higher position? Is that realistically possible? When I couldn't say anything because of my complicated mind, Mr. Lee smiled and got up from his seat.

이수담 [25]

"Think about it carefully."

이수담 [25]

"Because what you see isn't everything."

The teacher adjusted his clothes a few times, took out the resignation envelope that was on the desk, signed the resignation letter as required, and left the director's office. Not long after, Dr. Jeong also quit the hospital, so I couldn't ask him what the real story was.

And now, four years later. When I saw Mr. Jeong, who was looking into my eyes for the first time in four years and telling me his true feelings with a trembling voice, I realized that. Back then, you were still young, and I was trying to drag you into a deeper hole. That’s why you ran away from this hospital.

정호석 [30]

"Please... think about it seriously just once."

When I quit, I realized that it wasn't just this teacher who was the cause, and I took out my pure heart from the beginning. You must have felt this way too, and that's why I tried to protect you even if it meant giving up on you.

In the end, I apologized by writing down all my past misdeeds on a piece of paper with my own hands. From the proxy surgery system, to the manipulation of student grades, to corruption, to the request for murder. Only after I had filled up the entire piece of paper did I get up from my seat. The moment I was dragged out, I felt a sense of relief for some reason.

I'll try again. This time, I won't give up like you, Hoseok. Thank you.

After both Yang Shin-im and Jeong Hyeon-seok were arrested, Jeong Yu-ah, who had the courage to protest and report the incident, was called in to inform them that the case had been safely closed.

김남준 [30]

"Thanks to you, the case was resolved successfully."

김남준 [30]

"Compensation to the bereaved families will also be paid gradually."

김석진 [32]

"Thank you so much for reporting it."

김석진 [32]

"If it weren't for Jung Yu-ah, this problem would never have been revealed."

정유아 [27]

"No... thank you very much."

정유아 [27]

"I felt so lonely when I fought alone... but now I feel a little stronger."

정유아 [27]

"Thank you so much for your hard work over a long period of time."

After Jung Yu-ah, who kept greeting people, was brought to the office by Team 2's Officer Kim, only the members of Team 1 remained. If it were normal, I would have brought her here myself, but today we had a lot left to say. Only the sound of Officer Kim typing away quietly in his seat as he wrote down the reason for his early departure echoed.

김석진 [32]

"...Everyone, pack your bags. Let's go to my house and talk."

We are at a crossroads, wondering if we can finally end this grudge and rift that has persisted for so long, knowingly or unknowingly.

The 'General Hospital Ghost Doctor Case 👻', which was so long and complicated, has ended 😍 Thank you so much for reading the long story... 🥺

This case is related to the medical field, so I studied a lot and made a lot of revisions to solve it like Officer Jeong's past, so I feel relieved rather than sad that it's ending 😂

For the time being, the next episode will be dominated by the Strong Team 1 episodes! And I was originally going to talk about this later, but I think I should say it now 🙂

If all the episodes of the prepared strong 1st team are serialized, season 1 of 'Dangerous Investigation Log' will end and after a brief reorganization, it will return with season 2! ☺️

Originally, I was going to finish it by condensing it into Season 1 without a Season 2, but I thought I'd be busy at the end of the year and early next year, so I wanted to make Season 2, take some time to reorganize, and come back with a better story 😉

I'm worried that the scale will be too big... but I'm not afraid if I'm with you guys... 🩵🩵🩵

It doesn't mean that Season 1 is ending right now!!! The remaining episodes of Team 1 will probably be wrapped up by mid-December to the end of December, and Season 1 will be complete! 💓

We'll tell you how much reorganization will be done before Season 2 opens, and we'll tell you about Season 2 spoilers when Season 1 ends, so stay tuned... 😻

Then thank you for watching today and I love you, Adi! 🩵🩵
