123 Great People? I Will See Them 4 (1/2)
Kim Simin and Hw.a.n.g Yungil continued talking about the politics and worried about the future of the country, even after Ganghyuk took out those herbs.
Hw.a.n.g Yungil could do that, but Kim Simin should have worried about the medication first.
He had to take the unknown medication.
'I am taking an experiment with the body of a great man. I have never imagined such a thing.'
It is unpardonable to experiment with people even though they are n.o.body.
Of course, he had experimented many times before.
But they were the bandits and somewhat deserved being experimented.
'I cannot help it… Anyway, I will not kill him…'
Thanks to the bandits and enemies, he knew the dose of Seomsu and Chooh.
However, he did not know about the side effects when administered for a long time. Additionally, he was not sure if it would work for neuralgia.
If the side effect were not acute liver disorder or kidney failure, Ganghyuk could control them.
He was a good doctor with medical knowledge as well as a good surgeon.
'I cannot wait any more.'
They did not care who was there with them and forgot why they did come here.
They were talking about s.h.i.+nseonggun, Gw.a.n.ghaegun and Imhaegun.
They were totally absorbed in their conversation and totally forgot that they were in the clinic.
If they remembered where they were, they would not talk about the princes.
They might be prosecuted if they were overheard. Ganghyuk had to stop them.
He cleared his throat to get their attention.
”Keoheom”
His job was to cure the patient and he did not want to be involved in the dangerous conversation.
Then Kim Simin got his consciousness and watched Ganghyuk.
He did not listen to what Ganghyuk had told, as he had already expected.
”Oh, I am sorry. These days, I cannot help worrying about the nation…”
”It is ok. I heard many things, too.”
In addition to what he heard from others, he knew the future that they would soon have a war.
Therefore, Ganghyuk felt the situation sadder.
”Ah, is that the medication?”
Kim Simin touched the herbs that Ganghyuk took out without any hesitation.
He might try to taste, which would lead a tragedy.
Chooh might be ok but Seomsu (poison of toad) is strong poison.
”No, no. It is very dangerous.”
”Is that so?”
”It is an ingredient of the death penalty poison.”
”Death penalty poison? Do you want to kill me?”
At that time, people were ignorant of dose.
It was only 20th century when the medication with different dose would have different effects.
Therefore, Simin's response was natural and Ganghyuk had already expected such response.
”A good doctor should know how to use poison as medication.”
Therefore, he knew how to respond to such reaction.
He did not know the reason, but he knew that patients liked to hear a somewhat mystical remark.
If he used the same phrase in modern Korea, he would be criticized only.
”Heo. You are right. It is why Suns.h.i.+n praised you so much.”
Kim Simin accepted his explanation quickly and Hw.a.n.g Yungil laughed satisfactorily.
Ganghyuk explained the mechanism of the medication.
He did not expect that those two would understand.
However, he tried to explain it as much as possible so that he could understand some of it even vaguely.
”These two are medicines acting on nerves of our body.”
”Nerves?”
He met the first difficulty.
But Ganghyuk knew how to overcome such difficulty. He detoured it.
Anyway, he will not be one of his students.
”It is the thing that is giving you pain.”
”Ok.”
”If you have this in this status, it will paralyze your body.”
”Paralyze? It is real poison.”
”Yes, but if we have less, we can be in the stage before the paralysis. In other words, it can stabilize the nerves and make them less sensitive.”
”Then what will happen?”
Two of them looked at Ganghyuk, as if they could not understand his words.
Ganghyuk knew what they wanted to hear.
”Then you will be recovered.”
”Oh, good.”
The mood became lighter.
Ganghyuk stood up to start the treatment.
He took the syringe to measure the exact dose.
”I will make medicine. Please tell me how it works for you.”
”But I am not sure when I will have pain. Pain comes unexpectedly.”
”Yes, that is why I told you to stay with me. I will observe your status.”
”Oh, I see. I will stay here.”
From that day, the clinical test began.
Ganghyuk performed the experiment with caution remembering the animal test when he worked in Korea as a professor.
He used very small amount and then incremented the dose.
Therefore, the effect came slow.
However, he could see the effect surely.
”I think I feel much comfortable.”
Simin said with satisfaction.
As Simin stayed in the clinic, they became good friends.
”Are you sure?”
”Yes, the frequency of pain became lower.”
Ganghyuk made a big money so they could have good wine and food.
They could build strong friends.h.i.+p while spending nights together.
”Who sent this?”
”Ah, this? This might be the Anonymous. He came everyday.”
”Aha, the miraculous medicine?”
”Yes, people call it like that.”
Ganghyuk laughed thinking of the craze of v.i.a.g.r.a in Hanyang.
With v.i.a.g.r.a, Ganghyuk could build reputation quickly.
It never failed so it was called as a miracle.
But he did not give the medicine to very old man.
'I do not want to leave them to die.'
It was the time that not many old people were living.
He did not want to reduce the aged population with his medicine.
