“Take care.”
“Can I trust you?”
“Of course, I think you have heard of me.”
“Yes… Should I use it right away?”
“Yes, you can try it right away.”
“I am a noble man. How can I do that in the day? Heom Heom.”
When the two men finished the examination they wore the hat and left the room quickly.
When they went to the next lane, one of the fellows of the Flail collected their hats.
Ganghyuk tried to keep their privacy as much as he could.
‘If they exercise, they will soon get better.’
Ganghyuk collected the survey and stacked them at the corner of the room.
Noblemen in Joseon had exercise rarely.
According to the survey they finished just now, they have never sweated for the last five days.
They did not make any physical exercises. They sat down at the desk and read the books only.
‘It is a culture so I cannot help it.’
He told them to learn martial arts, but he did not expect too much.
He was sure that nobody followed his prescription of exercise.
If they were commoners, he could force them to follow it, but it was difficult for him to force those who left the room just now to follow his instructions.
‘The cloth looked very expensive. They had some kind of dignity.’
Ganghyuk looked at the fan that they left as a fee.
He used to use the fan distributed by some organization as an advertisement when he lived in that world.
But now he became an expert of the fan.
‘It is quite expensive an one. Good quality.’
They left not only the fan but also some other expensive looking things. They left some accessories made of jade.
‘It seems they are very rich. Who are they?’
He was curious but there was nothing that he could do.
In that world, it was not easy to identify someone with face only.
Therefore, what he could do was making a wild guess.
Through age, attitude and clothes…
“Sir, the second client has arrived.”
“Ah, Sir. Hwang Yungil?”
“Yes, sir. But there are many more people following him. Should I tell them to wait somewhere?”
“Many people?”
Ganghyuk opened the door and looked out of the room.
He could see a man who was giving his horse to the servant at the gate.
He did not put his name on his forehead but Ganghyuk noticed that he must be Sir Hwang Yungil.
He looked very confident as he did not come here to get a Viagra.
The fact that he brought many people with him showed that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
“As he is Cheomjijungchubusa (Grade 3), there are many followers. Please tell them to wait in the attached building and guide Sir Hwang to me.”
“Yes, sir.”
With the order of Ganghyuk, a fellow ran to him.
He was one of the Flail’s fellow, but he looked very handsome and he used polite language.
Makbong and Dolseok did not like him and whenever they met him they criticized him.
They called him a poncey boy or girly boy.
‘I think ‘white man’ is the right nickname for him.’
He worked outside so he took sunshine more than 10 times than Ganghyuk but his face was whiter than Ganghyuk.
Ganghyuk had a quite white complexion but his face was much whiter.
Therefore, Dolseok and Makbong could not be compared to him.
‘It is good. We need one who can receive a noblemen.’
Of course, Yeoju had good etiquette and looked good, but she was a girl.
Moreover, she must hide her identity because she was the niece of Jeong Yeorip.
It is better for her not to disclose herself anyway.
“Sir, he is coming in.”
“Yes.”
Ganghyuk stopped thinking.
He opened his mouth using elegant voice sitting on the futon.
“Please come in.”
“Thank you.”
The voice was very low and with dignity.
He was a civil magistrate, but his voice sounded like a general.
The door was open while he was surprised at his voice.
Beolkeok
He saw two patients standing there.
They wore good clothes just like the ones who just left the room, but they looked a lot different from them.
He brought a man who was short but stout. Ganghyuk could feel his spirit from his figure.
He wore a hat and Ganghyuk could not see his face very well because of the shade.
While he was watching the man, Hwang Yungil greeted.
“You are Baik Ganghyuk.”
Yungil greeted him with the low dignified voice.
He was well-known man as a member of Seoin.
‘I heard that he would go to Japan soon as a correspondence.’
Ganghyuk remembered a letter from Heo Jun.
There was a special reason why they looked for Heo Jun desperately with the poster.
It was because So Yoshitoshi who came from Japan had a diarrhea.
Heo Jun could treat him easily with oral solution method that Ganghyuk taught.
It was said that we would send a correspondent to Japan as soon as Yoshitoshi recovered. Therefore, it seems that Hwang would leave for Japan very soon.
‘He went to Japan and saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi.’
He made the right report noticing his greedy ambition.
Ganghyuk determined that he would see him with all kindness not as usual.
“Yes, I am Baik Ganghyuk. Is your friend sick, too?”
“Ah… as a matter of fact I am not sick. The patient is this one.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“Yes. It is very difficult to make a reservation to see you. With his name, he could not make a reservation. So I made the reservation for him.”
“Eum.”
It was true.
To be a patient of Ganghyuk, is too much. It can be said it is a kind of exclusive service for a noblemen.
First of all, it was not well-known that Ganghyuk was seeing patients in this way.
Only the noblemen with some rank could have the news.
Although they knew it, they could not access it easily.
The examination fee known to the public was incredibly high.
‘It was not my intention.’
Of course, he made his fee a little bit higher than normal from the beginning.
They would need a fan to see him.
In terms of money in Korea, it could be about 400,000 won or 500,000 won.
If he did in Korea, he would be able to buy a few buildings.
But he thought it was reasonable.
Those who wanted Viagra in the times when there were many people who starved to death could not be ordinary people.
Those who came to remove wrinkles using blowfish toxin were the same…
‘However, I did not intend to make it high like this.’
There was something that Ganghyuk did not know.
Joseon was a very closed society and they considered their face very important.
At first, it was a fan, but somebody added something more to show his gratitude and then that became the price that the next client should pay.
It would be natural that he had fewer patients when the fee became higher but the reality was not as expected. There were too many reservation requests as time went by.
‘Is it because I limited the number of patients for a day as 4?’
Limited opportunity and high price.
It meant VIP marketing.
He did not intend to use VIP marketing, but his examination became a VIP product among nobilities in Joseon. It worked very well.
Ganghyuk enjoyed this situation, but it made some people who really wanted to have treatment might have damages.
If they were ordinary men, they could go to Dolseok or Makbong.
But if they were noblemen, it was hard for them to think that they would give their body to the servant doctors like Dolseok or Makbong.
Therefore, a nobleman without wealth or high position can be a victim of this situation.
‘Ok. I will see him if he comes to my clinic.’
Although Ganghyuk loved money, he was the man of good sense and he would not turn down a patient because he did not have enough money to pay the fee.
“Did I do the wrong thing?’
Since Ganghyuk did not say anything and stayed silent, Hwang Yungil asked with a worried face.
“No, no, sir.”
“Thank you. This is Kim Simin who works as Pangwang (Grade 5) in Hullyeonwon (Military Training School).”
“Kim Simin?”
“Why, have you heard of the name?”
“Yes. I know him.”
Kim Simin was not a high-ranking official, but he was a great man in the history. In terms of the influence on the history of Joseon, Hwang Yungil could not be his match.
Whenever we name the three greatest battle in Imjinwaeran, one of them is Jinju Battle.
‘This is the hero of Jinju Battle.’
As a matter of fact, Kim Simin was very special to Ganghyuk.
Lee Sunshin mentioned him in his letter from the north.
‘It was said that he was with Sunshin. Sunshin told me that he had a good character and he liked this guy.’
In other words, he was very different from Ganghyuk.
They would not be able to be mixed just like water and oil.
Ganghyuk remembered Sunshin’s praise for him and showed kind smile on his face.
It was an artificial smile, but patients were deceived well.
“I heard your achievement in the North.”
“How can you know me, a small person.”
“Mr. Lee Sunshin and I are brothers.”
As a matter of fact, it is only Ganghyuk who called him brother.
But he did not want to mention it.
When he heard the name of Sunshin, his face came to bloom.
Then he cried with the face that he found out something.
“Heo. You are the very Dr. Baik that Sunshin mentioned whenever he drank.”
“Did he talk about me?”
“Yes, yes. He told me that you were the one who cured his leg.”
The atmosphere was so good that people might think they were chatting as friends.
Then Yungil could be relaxed.
He was told that Ganghyuk was someone who was not really polite. People said that he could be as rude as a gangster if he did not like the counterpart.
He was a little bit afraid when he took Simin with him but now he was satisfied with the mood.
“Good, good. Please see him now.”
With the remark of Yungil, Simin and Ganghyuk realized why they were here.
“Yes, what is the matter with you?”
“Eum. I had this injury from Yeojin in a battle in the North.”
“Let’s see.”
“Here. It became very strange after the sword cut here.”
Kim Simin took off the hat which had a strangely long side,
Then Ganghyuk could see his face completely.
It must be a very fierce battle.
He had a long scar from the left side eyebrow to the ear.
“Eum”
Ganghyuk looked at the scar moaning.
‘That is why his facial expression was very awkward.’
The muscles around the scar were contracted at the same time.
It looked like a ‘Tick’ disorder.
If he was not an experienced doctor in that world, he could diagnose him as Tick.
Doctors in this world could not find any proper name for it.
However, Ganghyuk was different.
God did not give him etiquettes, but God gave him talent instead.
‘I have never dreamed that I could see such a case.’
He saw a very rare case here.
Ganghyuk opened his mouth still looking at the scar.
“It is aching, right? When did you get it?”
“Yes, indeed. It is really aching. It is strange. It has more than a year since I got it but the pain got severer with time.”
Kim Simin answered flickering the left eye.
It seems nobody notified his pain before him.
It was natural to the doctors in this world.
It looked cured although it was ugly.
However, if the person knows the inside of the body, he could think somewhat differently.
Just as Ganghyuk did.
‘It is the problem of brain neuron No. 5. Can I solve this problem here? I have neither MRI nor CT.”
