Golden Time (JungYong)

73

"Will do."

Confirming the director's reply, Suhyuk returned the phone to Kim and turned back.

He felt as if he were a victor.

"Where are you heading for now?" asked Kim.

Stepping backwards, Kim started taking a shot of him.

Suhyuk consciously felt that he was being filmed at the moment. 

"I'm seeing a patient who has undergone umbilical hernia surgery."

Suhyuk would see patients after he's done with all his jobs of the day.

That's why nurses could not help but like him.

Suhyuk was listening to almost 80% of the complaints of the patients.

"What kind of disease is it?"

"In plain words, the organ is not located where it's supposed to be, but pushed to the wrong place."

Filming him, Kim nodded his head.

He soon arrived at the patient's room. The patient was an old woman in her 70s.

When Suhyuk was approaching, a middle-aged woman watching the TV made a smile.

She was her daughter and guardian. 

"You're here, doctor!"

"Has she eaten?" 

She nodded her head, looking at her mother. 

"Oh, she just wants more and more food every day."

With a smile, Suhyuk came closer to the woman in bed. She was sound asleep.

The surgery went well, and she could be discharged now.

Suhyuk moved his hand to the IV line to check whether the fluid was dropping properly.

Then, the patient, who seemed to be in sound sleep, opened her eyes suddenly.

"Oh, you are here, young man!"

Though she spoke in a childish tone, Suhyuk did not care at all, and made a smile.

She has been suffering from dementia.

Suhyuk opened his mouth, "You recognize me very well even if I wear a mask?"

"What is this?"

As she moved her hand to his mask, he flinched and stepped back, but she was faster and pulled away his mask.

'Ooops..I'm just helpless now.'

Thinking so, he moved his eyes to one side. It looked as if the big camera was scoffing at him.

Suhyuk suddenly hugged the old woman.

Though he was now without a mask, Kim was filming him from behind.

"How fortunate you are as you had a good surgery like this!"

She widened her eyes, clearly surprised by his unexpected act.

However, she also hugged him and stroked his back.

"How wonderful!"

The guardian could not help but smile naturally at that.

Is there another doctor like him? He is really a warm-hearted doctor who is just like a family member to them.

"Where are you heading for this time?"

"I'm seeing a patient who is being discharged today."

"What kind of patient are they?"
