I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

That really shouldn't have been the case, because according to Yoshida Aoba, Moriyama seemed to have had a very miserable past.

However, judging from the current situation, Moriyama is doing quite well at this private hospital.

However, at the university hospital, Moriyama was the kind of person who didn't fare well.

Simply put, there are some issues with his resume.

"I won't go into details about other things, but Moriyama is alright as your mentor doctor, isn't he?"

Yoshida Aoba concluded by saying this.

Although Moriyama has some issues in his past, they are minor matters and do not affect his strength.

"And what about you, Dr. Yoshida?"

"Don't be so gossipy at work!"

As if sensing that Aki Tomoya was curious about his past, Yoshida Aoba rolled her eyes at him.

His past was the complete opposite of Moriyama's.

However, he also has some unspeakable difficulties now.

Are you curious about my privacy?

"Just kidding, Dr. Yoshida, don't take it to heart!"

Aki Tomoya had a slight smile on his face.

He was quite curious about Yoshida Aoba, but he wasn't that gossipy; he just touched on the subject and left it at that.

I'll be at Kanto General Hospital for another two months, which will be about six months.

Having spent so much time with Yoshida Aoba, Aki Tomoya still knew some things about him.

This person is probably the most influential person in the Department of Cardiac Surgery, besides the head of the Department of Physical Medicine and Sasaki Kazuki.

He does basic research, a field he began working on during his time at the university hospital.

At the same time, he never neglected his physical skills.

Like Sasaki Ichiru, Yoshida Aoba is an excellent cardiac surgeon.

However, for some unknown reason, Yoshida Aoba has been staying in the hospital and has hardly ever left.

Yoshida Aoba is married, a fact she has acknowledged.

A man who appears to be separated from his wife.

Aki Tomoya was only guessing about these things and didn't want to ask directly.

Despite her curiosity, Yoshida Aoba appeared indifferent, but who knew what this matter truly meant to her?

After the rotation on the pediatric side is completed, it smoothly transitions to the major blood vessels.

As Aki Tomoya and the others had expected, Moriyama became their supervising doctor without any surprises.

In the entire cardiac surgery department, Moriyama was arguably the least noticeable person.

This isn't to say that his medical skills are particularly good, but rather that he is usually extremely low-key and his interactions with others are mostly limited to a few casual chats.

……

"I always felt that Dr. Moriyama was a bit difficult to get along with..."

On the very first day, Majima expressed this feeling.

This left Aki Tomo unsure how to respond, as he was also very busy on the day Moriyama became their mentor doctor.

"You and Nishikino have been following Dr. Moriyama all day, right?"

"Yes, in the end he didn't ask us to do anything, but you, Dr. Sagara and Dr. Sasaki called you over directly."

In the lounge, Majima said with a hint of helplessness.

Throughout the day, he and Maki Nishikino stayed with Dr. Moriyama, while Tomoya Aki also had to work with Dr. Sagara to finish the patient's post-operative care.

He still had some things to do with his younger son, so he didn't go directly to Moriyama's place.

However, in name only, Dr. Moriyama is now their supervising doctor.

"It's not like he didn't ask you to do anything, is it? Even if he didn't give any instructions, you were still busy as usual..."

Aki Tomoya casually replied that he didn't know exactly how they had interacted with Moriyama that day.

However, his situation is somewhat different from Majima and Nishikino's; at least he hasn't yet experienced what Majima meant by being difficult to get along with.

"But what's wrong with Dr. Moriyama? Why does he make you, this 'central air conditioner,' feel like you're hard to get along with!"

Similarly, Aki Tomoya was quite curious about how Majima managed to spend a whole day following Dr. Moriyama around.

"I feel you should know Dr. Moriyama better than I do, since you've even had surgery with him, right?"

Majima countered with a question.

He hadn't had much contact with Dr. Moriyama before, but Tomoya Aki had previously performed surgery with Dr. Moriyama and his team.

Logically speaking, Aki Tomoya should know Dr. Moriyama better than him.

"...I don't know much about Dr. Moriyama's affairs either."

Aki Tomoya looked at Mashima helplessly.

His understanding of Dr. Moriyama was actually nothing more than what Yoshida Aoba had said before.

He didn't have much contact with Dr. Moriyama to know much about him.

Moreover, Dr. Sagara was their supervising doctor during the last surgery, so Tomoya Aki didn't have much contact with Dr. Moriyama.

"All I know is that Dr. Moriyama used to work in the Department of Cardiology at Osaka University. I don't know much else about him."

Aki Tomoya said in a low voice.

He only told Majima about Dr. Moriyama's past experience working in the Department of Cardiology at Osaka University.

"I'm done chatting, I'm on duty tonight, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow morning."

See you tomorrow morning.

Aki Tomoya got up and walked outside.

Chapter 448 Unnecessary Worries?

In the middle of his fourth month at Kanto General Hospital, Aki Tomoya received an email from Takagi, who was also undergoing a medical training program at the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital.

He was there complaining that he was somewhat unhappy with his current rotation in the ENT department.

One of the attending physicians in the department completely ignored his opinions as a resident physician.

Since it was during his break, Aki Tomoya went on Line to comfort him for a couple of minutes.

"So, what exactly happened at the university hospital that made you so upset?"

"They probably thought my opinion as a medical trainee was insignificant. I suggested that we do a few more check-ups, and they said, 'What do you know? It's just a minor illness. Do you really need to go through all that trouble?'"

Aki Tomoya on LINE

"...Well, what's going on?"

"Yesterday, a patient with a sore throat came in. Clinical examination revealed pharyngeal wall inflammation, laryngeal mucosa inflammation and swelling, and poor left vocal cord mobility. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy showed acute laryngitis and vocal cord paralysis."

"and then?"

"And that's how it happened. I asked if we should do any more tests, and I got a lecture for it."

"If it's just a sore throat, your doctor's diagnosis is correct, hasn't it already been checked?"

"But why do I get lectured and told I don't know anything and have no experience just because I said to do a few more tests?"

Aki Tomoya probably understood Takagi's feelings; he was probably just annoyed. He had only made a trivial suggestion, and then he was scolded by the experienced master.

This left Aki Tomo unsure how to comfort him.

"You guys must have it easy rotating through private hospitals, right?"

"so so……"

Aki Tomoya dared not say that he and Majima were currently comfortably staying in the cardiac surgery department and had not been rotating to other departments at all, otherwise, he would definitely have a mental breakdown.

Takagi, who works as a resident physician at a university hospital, is certainly not as "free" as they are.

"Let's not talk about me and Majima anymore, let's talk about your matter. Do you still suspect that the patient has other problems?"

"No, it's not that. It's just that you got a lecture for offering a small suggestion and were really upset. I went to ask that person myself. I have high blood pressure and my medical history shows that I had an ascending aorta replacement and aortic arch and descending aorta stent implanted a year ago in my hometown in Chiba Prefecture. When I told that person about it and asked if I should have a follow-up check, they said I was making a mountain out of a molehill. Tsk..."

Aki Tomoya finally understood that Takagi's good intentions had been completely misunderstood.

Meanwhile, Aki Tomoya also noticed the patient's past medical history that Takagi mentioned.

"Aortic dissection, surgically treated... Sore throat, vocal cord paralysis..."

He murmured to himself, then gradually frowned. When he wanted to voice his doubts and ask Yoshida Aoba for her opinion, he looked up and found that everyone else in the room, including Yoshida Aoba, was already asleep.

"Takagi, besides the throat examination, such as fiberoptic laryngoscopy, have you had any contrast-enhanced thoracic and abdominal radiographs performed and followed up?"

"So, as I said, I didn't."
