My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 506

The autopsy report clearly stated that the baby was taken after the mother’s death. But how could someone without specialized knowledge accurately cut open the abdomen and extract the child?

“The human body is more complex than you think.”

No matter how careful you are, you can’t perform precise surgery with just a kitchen knife. Why do surgeons use small, precise scalpels? Because even the slightest mistake can cause additional damage.

A large knife might accidentally hit an artery when trying to make a small incision.

Even with a small scalpel, such accidents happen frequently. Could they have done this with a common knife?

“According to this autopsy report, the tool was a small knife, likely a scalpel.”

The autopsy report provides some clues, but it doesn’t tell you everything perfectly. For example, the report might say a large blunt object was used, but that could be a hammer, a steel pipe, a wooden stick, or a baseball bat.

“It’s the same with a small knife. But the important thing is that the wound is very precise.”

A regular person could never make such a wound. Only doctors could make such a wound, or at the very least, someone with significant experience.

“Scalpels are sharp, and they used it without hesitation.”

Doctors actually practice a lot on pig skin for that, since they can’t practice on people.

“Then one problem is solved.”

“What is it?”

“Organ trafficking usually involves at least one medical professional.”

What would happen if they just used thugs? They probably wouldn’t know which part is which or how to prepare it for transplantation; they’d just hack away.

That way, they wouldn’t get the benefits they want even while killing people.

“You know how big organ trafficking is, right?”

“Yes.”

I solved an international organ trafficking scam with Park Do-joon a while ago, so I know how large their operations are. The Korean side is smaller, but it’s not nonexistent.

“Rather, the Korean side is much more secretive and quiet.”

Because those in China can just flee to China if things go wrong, but Koreans can’t.

“And usually, it involves a few nurses who are crazy about money.”

Lee Il-seop tilted his head at that.

“Why? Doctors used to be involved in such things a lot in the past, didn’t they?”

“They did, but the law has changed.”

In the past, doctors who lost their licenses or caused accidents sometimes got involved in organ trafficking. But that’s rare now.

“The law has changed?”

“Now, doctors can get their licenses reissued even if they kill someone.”

“Ah! That’s right.”

In the past, if a doctor killed someone or caused a major accident and lost their medical license, that was it. So, in novels and movies, those doctors would turn to the dark side, run underground hospitals that treated violent gangs, or engage in organ trafficking.

But now, even if you commit murder, perform surgery drunk, or even if a gynecologist rapes a hundred patients and gets his license suspended, you can get your medical license reissued after just three years if you reapply.

So, doctors no longer have a strong reason to get involved with dangerous criminals. They can just think of it as taking a three-year break and leisurely spend some time, then get their medical license reissued when the time comes.

“But that’s not the case for nurses.”

Lee Il-seop asked, as if he didn’t understand Park Do-joon’s words.

He has basic common sense as a police officer.

“But nurses don’t have the skills to perform surgery, do they? A nurse’s job is to assist the doctor, isn’t it?”

“That’s generally the case.”

Nurses who work in the operating room are often very skilled. Nurses are only allowed to assist doctors in surgery in principle.

All surgery, from incision to suturing, is the doctor’s responsibility. However, there are plenty of doctors below a certain level who leave the incision or suturing to the nurses.

“Some places even had nurses performing surgery alone.”

“Ugh…!”

What’s even funnier is that the hospital was rumored to be good at surgery.

According to the testimonies of those involved, the nurse’s skills were better than the doctor’s, although only for hip replacement surgery.

‘Of course.’

While the doctor was drunk and passed out in the corner of the operating room, the nurse was performing the surgery.

So, the doctor’s actual surgical experience was less than 200 times, while the nurse’s experience exceeded 1,000 times, so there was bound to be a difference in skill.

“If they came from such a place, it makes sense.”

“Do such nurses often become twisted?”

“It’s not uncommon.”

They become twisted from the sense of frustration that they are doing the doctor’s work, but they can’t earn as much as a doctor. And if they fall into extravagance or gambling, it accelerates.

Some people portray nurses as pure white angels, but it’s still a world where people live.

Isn’t *Tae-um* [a brutal form of bullying within an organization] a unique criminal act of nurses?

“Organ trafficking…”

To the person who sells the organs of those who were killed in that way, people are just *Maruta* of the past 731 Unit [human experimentation subjects], that is, logs.

“Mothers are no exception.”

“Senior, then that clumsy person… ?”

“Probably a doctor, wouldn’t you say?”

Doctors often only study and lack real-world experience. They often lack social skills.

“That fits the conditions perfectly.”

Of course, not all doctors lack experience and social skills.

“But it would be even more so if they were rich.”

“Even more so?”

“Simply put, they grew up under excessive protection.”

There are more cases than you think where they are too protected and don’t know about the world. Parents often say to their children:

‘Don’t worry about anything and just study.’

But childcare experts say that shouldn’t be done, because children who grow up like that don’t understand the realities of the world.

It’s not just that they don’t know the world, but they don’t even recognize that the other person might be a threat to them.

“Sometimes there are cases, right? People who are incredibly accomplished and highly educated but fall for obvious scams, or people who fall for cults.”

“Ah, there are such people.”

“Those people are naive despite being highly educated.”

They only study, so they don’t know the world. As a result, their ability to distinguish whether a person is helpful or dangerous to them is poor.

“Really?”

“Yes, it’s funny, but it’s true.”

People might think, ‘How could they fall for such a stupid scam?’ but they don’t question it, because they haven’t learned how to be skeptical.

Even high-ranking police officials often fall for ridiculous scams, and when you dig into it, it’s often because the high-ranking official only studied and doesn’t know much about society, rather than the scammer being particularly skilled.

As a police officer, they see and handle hundreds or thousands of cases, but they never consider the possibility that it could happen to them. Some only study, and others think, ‘How dare someone scam me, a police officer?’

Of course, the scammer doesn’t care about that at all, but they don’t realize it.

“Is that something you have to learn too?”

“Yes, unfortunately, most of human judgment is learned.”

Lee Il-seop scratched his head at Park Do-joon’s words. He hadn’t considered that.

“The important thing is this: if the perpetrator is a woman, and if she’s attractive, she can easily seduce a doctor, especially a young doctor.”

And the young doctor is likely to give her everything for that woman.

“But Senior, there are still problems. There are many nurses, and I don’t know which hospitals have nurses performing surgery.”

“That’s right. But you can think of it the other way around.”

“The other way around?”

“Yes, a doctor who is willing to kill people is likely to get caught. As I said, their wealth must be considerable. But is it just a doctor from a family with money?”

“……?”

“Doctors usually don’t reveal their family’s wealth.”

Many doctors come from wealthy families. That’s just a realistic fact.

Because studying costs money. You can catch up on 부족한 [lacking] academics with private tutoring. While a smart person is working part-time, a wealthy child has one-on-one tutoring.

They can’t beat geniuses, but they can beat smart people.

“Doctors mostly suffer a lot around the age of marriage. Especially from their 20s to early 30s, they have internships, residencies, and even the military.”

“Ah!”

In that situation, there’s no crazy person who brags about their family’s wealth, because they’re afraid of being disliked.

“The world of doctors is as hierarchical as the military. Why do doctors ignore the *Tae-um* of nurses when they know everything?”

Saying that there’s no *Tae-um* in our hospital is nonsense.

“Because they think it’s natural.”

In the medical world, if you fall out of favor with a professor, you often can’t go anywhere. There are even people who can’t open their own clinics and get forced out.

“So, they usually don’t brag about their family.”

First of all, such bragging can upset seniors or professors in the hierarchy of doctors, and since so many children from wealthy families become doctors, if you say to those doctors, ‘My family is well off,’ you’ll only hear, ‘What’s wrong with this idiot?’

“But there’s only one case where you can know.”

And Lee Ji-soo quickly caught on to that.

No, in fact, it’s not a difficult thing to think about.

“The hospital director’s child.”

“That’s right.”

If it’s the son of the hospital director who runs the hospital, the hospital can’t *not* know that fact. Everyone will show their loyalty.

“There are many nurses, but how many hospital director’s sons are those nurses aiming for?”

“Probably not many. But I don’t think the medical school will give out information…”

Park Do-joon shook his head at that.

“There’s no need to go through medical school.”

Isn’t there someone who would give this information?

“A doctor?”

“Yeah, I think I know someone.”

“Oppa [term of endearment used by a younger woman to address an older brother or male friend], I’m not an informant in high society.”

Jeong I-yeon frowned. She even lightly hit Park Do-joon, annoyed that he always came running to her when he needed to get information from the wealthy.
