1 Reassign

Doctor a profession everybody respects but only a few can be. Why? because it takes time money and your social life. People outside this profession, think everything is like the movies or tv series where you talk with your friends and have fun while treating patience. Most of my time was spend behind books and data analysis everything to give the best treatment, unfortunately many doctors stop caring after a few years, and so will I according to them. I want to be the best, but for that you need money and someone to back you up, something that I didn't have, that is why I find my self packing my luggage. I have been reassign after getting in trouble over a patient, my co worker wanted to operate and I try to stop him, after I notice that the patient was too weak to recuperate. After, my coworker continue, and successful operate the patient, however he was never able to recuperate. The hospital fearing that I would whistle blow over their misjudgements, reassign me to a rural town, and blacklist me from every hospital. So it was either this or never practice medicine again. whistle blowing would only gotten me fire, and the hospital a slap in the hands. Gyeongju-si (South Korea) is the town that I am going to be practicing medicine from now on.

I was a surgeon specialize on the brain, but now I am here as a general Doctor, my only consolation are my books to keep and studying to become the best and the internet to not loose sight of new medical information, and my anime, mangas all the things that don't make my life so boring.

(fictional if you are from here do not take it to heart it is only fictional)

After, a few hours drive from the city I arrive at Gyeongju-si, it is a beautiful costal town. Unfortunately the clinic was too unequip, some of the medical equipment we're obsolete to use and others I never got any training for since they were removed from every hospital. The clinic had one nurse, that work the whole day trying very hard help as much as possible, but with out medical training she was only able to help very little.

" hello I am JuWon, I am the new doctor assign to this area and you are? "

I ask the middle age nurse in front of me, she had short brown hair with and oval face. Although,she was in her mid 30 she still look pretty young.

" so you are the new doctor, at least you are younger and cuter, ahh sorry I am MinJun, nice to meet you dr "

" Dr park , sorry I almost never use my last name"

" it ok, let me show you around"

" ok I follow behind"

MinJun move to show the clinic to JuWon

" the clinic has four main rooms, the receiving room which is where we were right now, this in front is where you can take a look at the patients. Down the hall to your left is the patient room, in case they need to stay for the night, it has four beds. The door down the hall, is the operation room, it is very basic so no brain surgery here " finish MinJun joking not knowing that JuWon is a brain surgeon.

With black lines running across his face forhead answer JuWon ," I keep that in mind"

" you are going to be staying on the second floor, there you have two bedroom and a bathroom, here are the extra keys, oh since this is a small town and it is not always busy, we have a policy of open door, so always answer even if it 2 in the morning, as for the paycheck, it is always punctuation so you don't have to worry about, "

JuWon nodded and started to look around, he saw that even though it had many old machine they were a variety of machines from x rays to microscope, and he also notice a few herbalism books, with theoriecal treatments.

" ohh so you have notice the books and machines, well the previous doctor was very rich but after loosing his wife to another man and his son left him, he decide to shut away from society and move here. He brought all of those machines using his money and treated people for free, those books were given to him as thanks. " said MinJun and looking at the empty hall were the old doctor use to stand, " he would always said that those books were treasures and to never throw them away, by the way your paycheck comes from his funds that he left for this clinic, so don't cause trouble"

" may I know his name" said JuWon as he study the book

" he never told us his name, since he hate it because his ex-wife would always use it, so we only called him doctor"

' this books are too advance for them to be from this rural area, maybe he was part of a research group that got cancelled by the government, many of this research project lead to the separation of families since they can't explain what they're doing. Maybe that is why he chose to separate himself from society. ' putting the book aways and walking to the second floor he thought, ' maybe he really did love her, and loosing her would be equivalent to loosing his life'

He walk up to the biggest room and unpack his luggage, the sun was setting down as dusk was approaching JunWon thought, ' I wonder if I ever going to love like everyone around me, or am I just going to die with a book on my hand like the doctor'
