88 Advisor Of Heo Jun 3 (1/2)
The theme seemed to be a tad bit appropriate for the first cla.s.s.
It was about the a.n.u.s, not the leg or the arm.
Ganghyuk tried to read the audience, as he thought it would be improper
However, it was his groundless anxiety.
The audience were all pa.s.sionate to learn, and they were ready to learn no matter what Ganghyuk taught.
Moreover, it was related to the disease of the famous lord Ryu Seongyong.
As a matter of fact, some of them had the same problem.
They sat on the thick cus.h.i.+ons.
'They all look focused. This is good.'
Ganghyuk continued to teach, smiling.
”The a.n.u.s is the opening where the gastrointestinal tract ends and exits the body. The a.n.u.s starts at the bottom of the r.e.c.t.u.m. Tough tissue called fascia surrounds the a.n.u.s and attaches it to nearby structures. Circular muscles called the external sphincter ani form the wall of the a.n.u.s and hold it closed. It is quite strong so we can hold our stools for a while even when we felt the inclination to release them.”
Ganghyuk made a fist and tried to put his finger into the hole of the fist.
Of course, it did not go in, some of the audience nodded in response.
Makbong showed an obscene smile.
'Is he crazy?'
He seemed to think about some other thing.
Ganghyuk looked at Heo Im who sat beside Heo Jun.
Two of them stared at Ganghyuk without moving, trying not to miss anything he would teach.
”We did not treat such an important organ properly.”
More specifically, all of them, except Ganghyuk and his fellows…
Dolseok and the others had already practiced was.h.i.+ng with water and sitz bath.
Even the Flail and other bandits learned how to treat their a.n.u.s, and they did not use hays or straws to wipe it out.
'They all followed my instructions well. I asked them if they wanted to have another operation, and they voluntarily followed.'
They knew the pain of being operated and learned how to keep it healthy.
Ganghyuk showed the materials he brought.
”For example, you wipe it out with straws or these leaves.”
Heo Im raised his hand. When Ganghyuk nodded, he opened his mouth.
”Sir, is that wrong?”
”Eum. That is a good question. Stand up.”
”Yes, sir.”
Heo Im stood up according to Ganghyuk's command.
”You may use it for wiping it out.”
”Yes, sir.”
All the people used such materials at that time.
Heo Im was no exception.
”Have you had blood or pain?”
”Ah…I have. Sir.”
”Many times, right?”
Heo Im hesitated but he nodded his head soon.
”Yes, sir.”
”Good. That is not natural, right?”
”Eum”
”When we have blood from other places, we make a fuss, but why do we ignore the blood when it comes out of a.n.u.s? It is a very important organ that allows us to discharge bodily waste.”
Ganghyuk told him to sit down and gave him the book Yeoju painted.
”The things in the book are the results of such behaviors.”
Heo Im blinked his eyes looking at the various disease that could occur in the a.n.u.s.
There were pictures of hemorrhoids, fistulas, and fissures.
The final page was Ryu Seongyong's a.n.u.s which had the terminal hemorrhoids.
Heo Im who had seen many terrible wounds as an acupuncture therapist moaned.
”Heo…”
”Why are you moaning. I would like to see it too.”
The people who were in the back row wanted to see it, too, and there was a fuss.
Ganghyuk shook his hands to stop those pa.s.sionate students.
”I will give enough time for you to see. For now, we will have to pause.”
With the remark of Ganghyuk, Heo Jun came to him.
He was deeply moved by the lesson.
He learned the function of the blood vessel, neuron distribution, and the structure of muscles in his first cla.s.s.
He was surprised at the depth and width of Ganghyuk's knowledge of the human body.
”Your knowledge is as deep and wide as the ocean.”
”You are exaggerating.”
”No, no. I have not thought that there were so many muscles and blood vessels in the a.n.u.s. If we can distribute this method widely, more people can be saved.”
Heo Jun felt sorry for the patients who could not benefit from this operational method.
He was looking at people's bottoms as if he tried to find a prospective patient.
It seemed he would have his first operation soon.
If he wanted to do an operation by himself, Ganghyuk wanted him to perform it with utmost perfection.
'We can make some tools, too.'
Ganghyuk did not want to do the operation alone.
Dolseok and Yeoni could do the operation with good apparatus.
He did not have the means to make the tools.
'I am in Hanyang now and it is the palace though.'
There was a saying that people should go to Hanyang and horses should go to Jeju.
As the king was in Hanyang, all the talents in Joseon gathered in Hanyang.
Thus, the best blacksmiths in Joseon are in Hanyang.
”Take a look at the book and let's make tools for the operation.”
”Ah! The things you carry in your bag.”
Heo Jun exclaimed pointing the home visit bag.
His face was filled with wonder and grat.i.tude. It was because of the closed environment in Joseon.
In the 16th century, people in Joseon did not share their skills.
The only thing they shared was Confucianism.
They thought sharing skills would mean giving up his trade.
If we look up old books, we could see how strict they were in skill sharing.
There was a story of a blacksmith who could coat colors on silver to make it look gold.
The government office wanted to know the secret and tortured him to death, but he did not release his secret.
