It was an usual noon without anything special, some of the emergency physicians, including Yu Jin, were having a quick lunch at the hospital cafeteria. They only had about half an hour before they needed to come back to the ER. Yu Jin, Jung Won and Dr. Jeon Jung Kook were eating when another group of doctors, two guys and one girl, approached them.
"Oh hi guys," Jung Kook waved his hand at them.
"Hi Dr. Jeon," they replied in unison and nodded their heads.
"You guys are the new paediatrics residents, am I right?" Jung Kook inquired.
"Yes doc, we are all first-year residents, from PS," the girl smiled at him.
"Lemme see...you are Yu Na, right?" He pointed at the girl, "Then you, the guy with the glasses, are Jeong In and the one beside you is Hee Seung. Are all correct?"
"That's right doc, it's so heartwarming that you remember all of us, although we are not in your department," Jeong In confirmed with a big grin.
"It's nothing. My best friend works in PS so of course I should know all of you," he gleefully said, "By the way, these two boys are from the ER. They are pre-uni interns, Yu Jin and Jung Won."
"Wow, that's nice. It's really uncommon to see pre-uni interns like you guys. Nice to see you all," Yu Na said and gave the interns a big, friendly grin.
"Hello doctors," both of the pre-uni interns stood up and bowed their heads.
"OK guys, don't need to be so formal, let's all sit here and dig in," Jung Kook said and then reorganised the table so that the PS residents could put their food on it.
They had lunch and chatted together for a while. Thanks to meeting the PS residents, both Yu Jin and Jung Won were able to discover much deeper insights into how working in the hospital would be. After long stories of penetrating experiences in the PS department, Yu Na decided to wrap it up by telling the two new interns not to join it.
"In short, all I wanna say is do not choose paediatrics, it's nightmarish," Yu Na half-jokingly said and laughed.
"Well, I think that I still need time to think it through, but thanks for telling me," Yu Jin shyly said.
"It's alright, don't listen to her, listen to what your heart tells you. My senior also told me not to choose PS and I didn't listen either," Hee Seung laughed.
"Stop it, you have just said that you regretted choosing PS about an hour ago," Yu Na nudged Hee Seung's shoulder.
"In conclusion, if you want to have a good life..." Jung Kook halted to take a bite of his burger. "Then choose ER. You can have a good life-and-work balance as well as do not have to worry too much about...Oh wait!" Jung Kook's phone suddenly rang when it received a call from Chae Won. "Hey Yu Jin, can you press the speaker for me?"
"Yes Dr. Jeon."
"Hi, Jeon Jung Kook's speaking."
"Doctor, a patient's been brought to the ER," she nervously said, "A 35-year-old woman, a traffic accident case. Her head was severely injured, there is bleeding, probably a skull fracture, so Dr. Lee suggested a CT scan. She is unconscious and her left pupil has dilated to about 0.4 or 0.5. Can you come and check on her please?"
