A Surgeon Who Uses Martial Arts [EN]: Chapter 16

The commotion in the cafeteria grew louder.

Youngho was in pain, and Junhoo was struggling to help him.

The students in the cafeteria all turned their attention to the pair.

Some students hovered around Junhoo.

Some wrung their hands, unsure of what to do.

Some even filmed Junhoo administering first aid with their phones.

“You said a student seems to be choking?”

Nutritionist Jung-hye was startled by Myung-hee’s urgent explanation while she was serving food.

“Yes. It seems like he choked on a piece of rice cake.”

“Did you call emergency services?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing the confirmation, Jung-hye rushed to the scene.

Indeed, the incident was happening near the exit.

A student with glasses was choking and clearly in distress.

And behind him, a handsome student was diligently performing the Heimlich maneuver.

If you didn’t know the situation, you might mistake them for playfully wrestling.

‘His posture is good, and he seems to be applying force effectively. This is serious.’

Jung-hye bit her nails, feeling anxious.

The only thing an ordinary person could do for someone with a blocked airway was the Heimlich maneuver.

If the Heimlich didn’t work, they were essentially helpless.

But could Jung-hye successfully clear the airway by performing the Heimlich maneuver herself?

Jung-hye didn’t think so.

For one, she had only learned the Heimlich maneuver in theory.

She had never actually performed it in a real-life situation.

The thought that the student with the blocked airway might die made Jung-hye’s vision blur.

Since the Heimlich maneuver wasn’t working, Junhoo prepared for the next step.

It was suction.

Suction refers to a procedure that literally sucks something out.

[Some alternative methods, though unconventional, suggest using a vacuum cleaner if the Heimlich maneuver fails.]

[Remove the suction head and carefully insert the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner into the patient’s mouth, being cautious not to catch the tongue.]

[Slowly increase the vacuum cleaner’s strength from weak to strong.]

The first aid video Junhoo had watched recently covered how to deal with airway obstruction using a vacuum cleaner.

However, it emphasized that this method should only be used in extreme emergencies.

It also warned that the patient could be seriously injured if the procedure was performed incorrectly.

Junhoo was planning to modify the procedure slightly.

He would use suction, but instead of a vacuum cleaner, he would use his martial arts skills.

Junhoo remained calm, facing the critical procedure.

Especially in a crisis.

Especially when a life-or-death situation occurred.

He knew that maintaining composure was paramount.

If the ground shook, objects on the ground would shake.

If the mind wavered, the body connected to it would also falter.

‘Let’s do this!’

Junhoo released one of the hands clasped around Youngho’s waist.

He maintained pressure with one hand and sealed Youngho’s mouth with the other.

The internal energy drawn from his dantian [a vital energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine] began to gather in Junhoo’s palm, which was covering Youngho’s mouth.

Junhoo immediately unleashed the Suction Art.

The Suction Art was a technique that materialized internal energy and converted it into a force that attracted objects.

It was a technique that only a master of internal energy cultivation could perform.

Junhoo, who had reached the realm of Hwagyeong [a high level of martial arts mastery] in the Murim world [the martial arts world], knew how to use the Suction Art.

For reference, if you develop the Suction Art to a high degree, you can also achieve Telekinesis.

It’s a technique used to attract an object several meters away with internal energy and grab it with your hand.

‘Not yet?’

A wrinkle formed on Junhoo’s forehead.

Even though the Suction Art was creating pressure inside Youngho’s mouth, the piece of rice cake wasn’t dislodging easily.

So, he intensified the Suction Art further.

If the power was insufficient, there was no choice but to increase it…

Junhoo had no intention of giving up on Youngho.

Cough!

Just then, a strange, almost choked cry erupted from Youngho’s mouth.

The sound indicated that there was now space in his airway.

Indeed, a half-sized piece of rice cake was stuck to Junhoo’s palm, which was still covering Youngho’s mouth.

‘That was a huge piece.’

Junhoo removed his palm and tossed the piece of rice cake to the floor.

It was no wonder the standard Heimlich maneuver had been ineffective, considering the size of the obstruction.

“Youngho, are you okay?”

Junhoo helped Youngho, who was gasping for breath, sit down on the floor.

He carefully checked Youngho’s condition.

Youngho’s eyes were filled with lingering fear.

However, his pale face gradually regained color, and his breathing slowly stabilized.

Today’s incident would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

Fortunately, it seemed there was no longer any immediate danger to his life.

Only then did Junhoo feel truly relieved.

He felt a surge of pride knowing he had saved his friend’s life.

He admired himself for 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋जी게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋جي게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지하게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지하게 멋지게 멋지하게 멋지게 멋지하게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋جي게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋جي게 멋지게 멋지하게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋지게 멋จง 으깨비
