Golden Time (JungYong)

Lee stopped knocking the cage at Suhyuk's voice.

Taking off his eyes from the microscope, he turned his head to Suhyuk.

And his eyes were asking him, 'What is the matter?'

Suhyuk, staring at the monitor, said, "The cage seems to have been nailed astray."

At his words, the medical staff looked at him sharply.

How dare an intern disagree with Prof. Lee Mansuk, the top surgeon in the country?

On the other hand, Lee stared at the microscope.

'Where does he say it's been rammed astray?'

In his eyes, it was being nailed properly.

"Mr. Lee Suhyuk."

He approached Lee.

"I think it's okay. The monitor screen and the microscope may look a little different from seeing it with your own eyes. Do you want to take a look?"

The medical staff opened their eyes at Lee's voice at his suggestion to Suhyuk like that.

It was not something Lee would say to an intern.

In the surgery room, the professor was usually quiet.

Only the sound of surgical tools moving was heard.

Unlike his typical style, though, Prof. Lee yielded the monitor chair to him.

Suhyuk took his eyes at the fixed microscope.

"About 1mm seems to have stuck out."

Looking at the monitor, Lee tilted his head. However hard he checked it, he could not see it.

Did he underestimate Suhyuk who would be his disciple?

Then Suhyuk moved his hand.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"
Ignoring the resident's shouting, he took his hand to the patient's head covered with a sheet.

"Looks like his head seems to have been twisted a bit."

Then he twisted it a bit to the right.

"Are you crazy?" said a resident and then walked up to Suhyuk.

"Stop it."

Then Prof. Lee looked at the resident and the medical staff.

"Do I have to correct the patient's surgery position? How long have I been here with you?"

The resident bowed his head a bit, saying, "One year, sir."

Lee, frowning his face, looked at the medical staff one by one.

"Two years, sir."

"Me too, sir."

Shaking his head at their replies, Lee gestured with his eyes toward the monitor.

And then they could not help but be surprised.

The cervical vertebrae was back to being straight, and the cage, which was visibly embedded with the naked eye, protruded sideways. If it went a little further, it could easily have touched the nervous system. The patient was undergoing surgery with his neck twisted. It was a very fine twisting, but nobody caught it.

Lee was helpless in that situation, too.

He had to look at it, only 3-4mm, with a microscope.

It seemd like he would have sweared at them had he checked the X-ray of the patient after the surgery. It was a source of trouble that he relied on them too much.
