#231 Queen of Sales

When Juan Peron winked, an attendant handed Sunyoung Lee a thick bundle of charts, and she immediately opened the charts and began examining them.

As Lee Kang-cheol said, one of the best doctors in Korea is Lee Seon-young.

Moreover, in addition to her original specialty of internal medicine, Seonyoung Lee had become an all-rounder, a phenomenon that applies to all modern doctors.

The reason for this is that there is an absolute shortage of people who have learned modern medicine, and this naturally happened as dozens of people had to see a constant influx of patients while compiling medical textbooks, teaching younger students, and retraining existing doctors.

In particular, Seon-young Lee became a unique figure in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. This was because women of this era were reluctant to reveal their private parts to male doctors, so they flocked to Seon-young Lee, a fellow woman.

Seonyoung Lee self-deprecatingly said that she saw all the patients that a modern obstetrician and gynecologist would see in a lifetime in just five years.

And since the best doctor in Korea could actually be said to be the best in the world, Lee Kang-cheol trusted him and entrusted him with the job.

While Sunyoung Lee was reviewing the chart provided by Johns Hopkins Hospital, Juan and Eva Peron looked nervous, as if they were waiting for a death sentence.

How could it not be so?

He has already been sentenced to death at Johns Hopkins, which is said to have the highest level of medical care in the world, and the only hope left is now South Korea.

If it’s difficult even here, you have no choice but to sort out your life while waiting for the day you die.

But Eva Peron was too young for that.

Because I’m only 35 years old.

Eva Peron is a person who grew up in very difficult times.

Even my father, who lived in two households, later ran away to his original home, went through a miserable childhood and endured many hardships to come here.

But what about cancer?

It was right to say that once you become worthy of life, you will die, but Eva Peron herself was so unfair that she almost went crazy.

I wanted to live somehow.

chin!

Eventually, when Seonyoung Lee lifted her head from covering the chart, the tension between the two seemed to have reached its peak.

“Uh, how?”

“wait a minute. “We will first discuss our opinions and tell you.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

No, let me just tell you, what are they talking about and sharing their opinions among themselves?

Although the two people’s intentions were not fake, they could not defy Lee Seon-young’s judgment, so they kept their mouths shut.

“What do you think after reviewing it?”

“We will have to test again to be more accurate, but according to the chart at Johns Hopkins Hospital, it is terminal cancer, around late stage 3 to early stage 4. “With today’s technology, it’s practically a death sentence.”

“Right. “Then can we treat it with our technology?”

“Originally, cervical cancer is a cancer with a good prognosis. The 5-year survival rate is over 90% for stage 1 and over 80% for stage 2. However, after stage 3, the survival rate decreases rapidly, and at this rate, the 5-year survival rate should be considered to be around 50%. “The key is whether it has metastasized to the pelvis, chest, bladder, or colon.”

“Then will it be difficult?”

“I’ll do my best, but I guess I can only say that it’s not something that can’t be treated, right?”

“Ugh! “What do you mean?”

No matter how much I denied it, I really didn’t like the way the doctors spoke.

Doctors rarely speak clearly.

It seems like they always assume the worst, but it’s still frustrating.

“oh! “As a doctor, you have no choice but to say this?”

“Ha, anyway, so?”

“They have a 50% chance of being sentenced to death, so shouldn’t they be treated? However, there is a 50% chance of dying, so this is up to you to decide. “It would be a problem if the wife of the president of another country died while receiving treatment in our country, right?”

“What the First Lady said is correct. “I think this is a matter for the President to decide.”

Even Kim Gyu-sik came forward to help Lee Sun-young.

“Whew, then let’s do it like this. Let’s be honest and tell them the truth. Of course, I will say that I will receive treatment, but I will also inform you of the risks accurately to minimize resentment later.”

“This is from my experience. If the results are bad, resentment is inevitable.”

“But it can’t be helped.”

The answer is already there anyway.

If there is a 20% or even 10% chance, rather than 50%, the patient and his or her family will want to receive treatment unconditionally.

“Then I’ll explain it as it is.”

“I do.”

Sunyoung Lee explained the facts to the Peron couple, and when they told her that the five-year survival rate was estimated at 50%, she was overjoyed and said she would receive treatment in Korea.

“Of course I should get it! Where is 50%?”

“First lady, I want to live. “Please save me.”

“Yes, Eva. Let’s do it together. Instead, this time, you must follow the instructions of our medical staff and receive treatment until the end. “It was written that Eva had relapsed because she mistakenly thought she was cured after receiving Gamma Knife treatment at Johns Hopkins last time and did not receive proper treatment.”

“Well, that is. Because I’m so busy… … .”

In fact, it was Eva Peron who was second in power after Juan Peron, and Juan Peron’s re-election was possible because of her public popularity.

As a result, she clung to her husband’s campaign without receiving proper treatment, which worsened her condition.

“Eva, Eva is still young. This means that even after receiving sufficient treatment, there is still a lot of time. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes, First Lady.”

“Okay, then. honey!”

“huh?”

“Can we send the second private plane to our country for a while?”

“why? “Send me a ride right away?”

“Yes, I don’t have time. We need to get a proper examination and start treatment again as soon as possible. Then it would be better to send it on our plane right away, even tomorrow. “As far as I know, there are no jet planes flying from Germany to Korea yet.”

“That’s right, First Lady. “It is scheduled to enter service early next year.”

“Then let’s send him comfortably on our plane. “An airplane with that propeller is too burdensome for patients.”

“Well, let’s do that. “We’ll still be in Europe, so you can just take us there and tell us to come back.”

Two private planes were mobilized for this European tour.

Therefore, even if one of them went to Seoul, there was no problem with the schedule.

In particular, the next destination was Poland, so it was very close, and by the end of the Polish tour, Unit 2, which had gone to Seoul, would have returned.

“Oh my goodness! You don’t have to go that far… … .”

“Eva, just do as I tell you. “It’s difficult because our country is so far away from here.”

“Thank you.”

“First lady! Thank you so much! President! thank you!”

Juan Peron and Eva Peron couldn’t help but be thrilled.

Not only did they give me a way to live, but when they told me that they were giving me the latest jetliner, a presidential plane, I was almost in tears.

I declined for now, but honestly, the thought of going all the way from Germany to Korea made me feel bleak.

“Then, let’s say we leave tomorrow morning. “Secretary Joe!”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“The Argentine President and his wife will be flying to Seoul tomorrow morning, so notify the pilots and tell them to prepare.”

“All right.”

“Then it’s late, so please get up now.”

After leaving the place, the Argentine president and his wife moved to the accommodation secured by nearby entourage.

Only then were Lee Kang-cheol and Lee Sun-young able to go to bed.

“You know.”

“huh? why?”

“It was a good thing you decided to send us on a private plane. “I almost didn’t think of it.”

“Ho ho ho! You too? It’s natural, right? “How can you ask an important patient to travel such a long distance on an old-fashioned plane?”

“That’s right.”

“Besides, would they stay still if they took a ride on our newest jet?”

“Yes? What are you talking about?”

“Oh my, you too? Let’s go from a propeller plane to our private plane. It’s a bigger difference than flying economy class to first class. But do you think they will try it once?”

“huh?”

“Just wait and see. People say that once they ride something comfortable, they can never ride under it again. Besides, Argentina is now a rich country?”

“Yeah, right… … .”

“Ho ho ho! “I’m sure they’ll order our jetliner.”

“omg! Are you sure you thought that far?”

“Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if everything were good?”

“… … .”

Lee Kang-cheol suddenly became afraid of Lee Sun-young.

Because she was a woman who had no blood or tears in sales, a true queen of sales.

And what Seonyoung Lee said was right.

The next day, Juan Peron and Eva Peron and their wife, who departed early in the morning to see off Lee Kang-cheol and his wife, could not help but be amazed.

“How can it be so quiet?”

“Oh my goodness! Just be quiet? “It’s warm and very comfortable even though we’ve climbed so high!”

“Sha, there’s even a shower!”

“Juan! “I have to buy this!”

“okay! Let’s buy! “It’s not like we don’t have money!”

It was the moment when Lee Seon-young’s sales yielded results.

President Peron and his wife were sent to Seoul, and their final schedule in Germany was completed.

Tomorrow we will visit Poland, the captain of Eastern Europe.

Lee Kang-cheol, who finished his schedule early, was resting when Kim Gyu-sik asked him to have a cup of tea.

“haha! “I think our relationship with Argentina will be prosperous in the future.”

“Maybe so. “Even if the results of Eva Peron’s treatment were bad, we showed our sincerity.”

“I trust our medical staff. It will be fine.”

“ha ha ha! “I believe it too.”

“By the way, President.”

“Yes, teacher.”

“I felt something after looking at the data sent from Seoul this morning and looking at the history of South America in the past. Why are the Peron couple being criticized as the culprits who ruined the Argentine economy? From what I’ve seen, there’s nothing particularly strange about their policies, right?”

“Well, you’re right, sir. “There is an unfair aspect to it.”

It was natural for Kim Gyu-sik to have doubts.

According to some estimates, among the data he saw in the database, there was data written from the perspective that modern-day Argentina was reduced to a poor country because the Peron couple ruined the country with extreme left-wing populism, and no matter how much Kim Gyu-sik looked at it, he could not understand it. I didn’t go.

“No, what’s wrong with giving relief to the poor? What is left-wing populism that aims to expand the middle class by raising wages and implementing welfare policies such as social security? Although there is a difference in degree, isn’t this the same policy that other normal contemporary countries have also adopted? “If that’s the extent of the left, then we are completely communist, right?”

“haha… … .”

“I also had good direction. Efforts were made to transform an agricultural country into an industrial country, and perhaps due to Eva Peron’s efforts, the growth of the ruling party was also groundbreaking. It was also their contribution that gave women the right to vote. But I don’t understand why there are people who cite Argentina as the culprit for turning a rich country into a poor country.”

“you’re right. Actually, if you look at it closely, the culprits were the military who took power through a coup. “All economic indicators plummeted during the time they were in power, despite being illiterate about the economy.”

What Kim Gyu-sik said and what Lee Kang-cheol said was true.

Juan Peron was a left-wing populist?

Rather, it was Juan Peron who oppressed the Communist Party, and even showed fascistic tendencies during his early years in power.

In addition, although industrial production in the UK, France, and Germany began to succeed in post-war reconstruction in the 1950s, the country suffered a temporary economic downturn, but still experienced significant growth during Juan Peron’s reign.

Rather, what ruined the economy, as all economic indicators show, was the military dictatorship, especially the murderer Jorge Videla, who was no different from Stalin in South America.

During Videla’s dictatorship, Argentina’s economy and everything else collapsed.

But why did some people in modern times regard Juan Peron as the main culprit in ruining Argentina?
