Doctor Goes Back To Joseon Chapter 90 - Gwanghae [2]

Chapter 90: Gw.a.n.ghae [2]

Translator: None Editor: One Mountain Guy

Gw.a.n.ghae asked Ganghyuk to continue.

Ganghyuk looked at Gw.a.n.ghae carefully.

His face was tanned, and he hid muscles in his clothes unlike the stereotypical image of a prince.

His look reminded Ganghyuk of Lee Byeongheon (Korean actor who starred in G.I. Joe and Masquerade) in the movie, “Gw.a.n.ghae, The Man Who became King”.

‘He looked great’

Of course, that must be fiction.

However, ordinary people like Ganghyuk got information from the media.

There was a saying the most dangerous man was he who only read one book. .

Ganghyuk had an interest in Gw.a.n.ghae due to the movie about him.

“Eum, I will resume the lecture.”

“Yes, good. Go ahead.”

Gw.a.n.ghae sat down in the first row laughing loudly.

Heo Jun and Heo Im had to go somewhere else.

Dolseok had already fled and hid behind the column.

‘He will run away leaving me behind if anything happens in the room.’

Compared to him, Yeoni and Yeoju were very faithful.

They retreated, but they were still in the sight of Gw.a.n.ghae.

Yeoju might feel anxious because of the Jeong Yeorip incident, but she did not run away.

‘It may be okay. n.o.body will notice that Yeoju is a girl.’

Her disguising skills improved a lot. Even her old friends would not be able to recognize her.

Ganghyuk checked if everyone had come back to their seat and resumed his lecture.

‘I was about to explain the type of stool.’

Ganghyuk could not resume his lecture looking at the eyes of Gw.a.n.ghae who expected to hear new knowledge.

Although he was much younger than Ganghyuk, he was a prince of the country.

Although he was one of the princes at that time, Ganghyuk knew he would be the king.

Ganghyuk did not know how long he would be in Joseon, but he did not want to make their first meeting like this…Talking about stool…

‘I don’t want him to remember me as Dr. Stool.’

The first impression was always important.

Ganghyuk was wondering what he should do.

Soon, he resumed the lecture nodding his head.

“Let’s wrap the last lecture up with our forum earlier. I will cover the wrist now.”

He tried to use a polite language as much as possible since he was conscious of having Gw.a.n.ghae in the audience.

‘It is too small to be a lecture room, so I feel I were in a laboratory.”

He did not use crude words in the lecture room since there were many students he did not know personally. However, in the laboratory, the situation was a little different. In the laboratory, the students were close to Ganghyuk like Dolseok, Yeoni, Makbong, and Yeoju. Therefore, he used on being carefree with his coice of words.

It did not mean Ganghyuk did not respect his students. It meant that there was intimacy, a sense of closeness.

Therefore, he was used in using common words and play jokes in the laboratory or practice room.

“The wrist is the a part of our body that shows freedom, as you can see.”

Ganghyuk demonstrated this by moving his wrist in a circular motion.

It was possible because it had 8 small bones in the joint.

The wrist has the second biggest moving range in the body next to the shoulder.

That meant it had a high probability to receive injury.

Gw.a.n.ghae was extremely interested in the topic since he was suffering from wrist pain.

Heo Jun showed the same interest as he was taking care of Gw.a.n.ghae as a family doctor.

The rest of them did not have a special interest in the wrist, but they were enthusiastic to learn.

“Hands have various movements like this.”

Ganghyuk showed his fingers moving in many different ways.

Some of them followed his movements, but Gw.a.n.ghae could not follow him, although he tried to imitate some movements.

He might be afraid of pain.

Ganghyuk gave a quick glance at Gw.a.n.ghae and continued his explanation.

“The muscle in charge of the movement of the hand starts from the part below the elbow. This goes to the fingers.”

Ganghyuk rolled up his sleeves and showed them his arm.

His muscular arm was shown to them.

“Ho.”

Gw.a.n.ghae nodded his head. He seemed to like muscular arms.

He thought he might be training martial arts.

However, his well-developed muscles were the results of weight training in the gym. Although he was learning Taekyeon in this world, he was still at the beginner level, But his arm implied that he was a martial art expert.

“The ligament of all these muscles goes to the hand through the wrist. Therefore a strong ligament holds those small ligaments.”

Ganghyuk pointed his carpal ligament.

Most of them did not understand what Ganghyuk was talking about, but Heo Jun and Heo Im seemed to understand.

Gw.a.n.ghae was listening to the Ganghyuk’s lecture with a concentrated look.

“As there are many ligaments here, many problems occur.”

Gw.a.n.ghae was reminded of his pain and he nodded.

He did not imagine he would not be able to shoot an arrow due to a wrist problem.

n.o.body knew the cause, and there was no good remedy.

With the pill Heo Jun gave, he felt better, but that was just a temporary remedy It was not a permanent cure.

After some while, the pain would return.

“If you lift heavy things or repeat the same movement too many times, you may face some problems because of these ligaments.”

Ganghyuk pretended to erase something looking at Gw.a.n.ghae.

Gw.a.n.ghae was astounded by the movement and looked at his wrist again.

He might not know this rapid movement made and developed the problem.

“The symptom is feeling needles in the hand or keen pain in the wrist. Have you ever had these symptoms? Is there anyone who had these symptoms?”

At the question, Gw.a.n.ghae raised his hand quietly.

Somebody raised his hand, but he let it down quickly.

He realized this cla.s.s was improvised for Gw.a.n.ghae, when he saw Gw.a.n.ghae raising his hand.

“Eum. Your Highness has wrist pain. It seems you dare not studying well.”

Heo Jun gaped his mouth wide.

He even covered his mouth with his hand, although it was not he who spoke those words.

There was a saying that one must think they were on the back of a tiger when they were in the face of the royal family.

Heo Jun was startled at Ganghyuk’s remark and looked at Gw.a.n.ghae with frightened eyes, but Gw.a.n.ghae was smiling.

He showed his arms, showing his muscles clearly

“I shoot arrows, practice sword fighting, and draw paintings.”

“Heo. Your Highness does many activities.”

“Perhaps my wrist hurts because of those activities.”

“May I see it?”

“Of course. Please.”

Ganghyuk went to Gw.a.n.ghae and checked his hand.

Gw.a.n.ghae gave him permission to examine it.

“Heum”

Ganghyuk looked at his wrist very carefully.

There was a test to shorten the examination.

It was to bend the wrist in the right direction and then the other direction.

Ganghyuk did not have the courage to test that on Gw.a.n.ghae’s wrist.

Even in the examination room, they do not do it with their patients.

It was only done in the cla.s.sroom and among themselves for practice.

‘Why did they develop such a bad test method and distracted my attention?’

Ganghyuk shook his head and released Gw.a.n.ghae’s hand.

He showed a certain posture so Gw.a.n.ghae could follow.

He made the back of his hands meet.

“Your Highness, could you follow this posture?”

“Eum, like this?”

“Yes, if there is a problem in the wrist, you will feel some strange feeling. Could you do that for me?”

“Eum, is it painful?”

“Yes, it may be.”

“Eum.”

Gw.a.n.ghae hesitated to follow the posture.

He listened to the lecture to avoid the pain, but Ganghyuk asked to have a posture that could give him pain.

It was a contradiction, but Gw.a.n.ghae thought he could trust Ganghyuk.

‘This guy may cure my problem completely.’

Gw.a.n.ghae did not know a thing about medicine. Not to mention, he did not know anything about modern medicine.

However, he had a good brain and thought Ganghyuk’s lecture was logical and systematic.

He did not talk in brief. His speech was very concrete, and he tried to give examples.

He liked it.

“Okay. I will do that. Ask the others to do that too.”

“Yes, your highness. Please follow me, everyone.”

At Ganghyuk’s order, everyone tried to follow the posture.

Some frowned, but n.o.body gave it up in the middle of the process except Gw.a.n.ghae.

He could not keep that posture in seconds.

“Euk”

“Your Highness, how do you feel?”

“I feel a lot of needles in my hands.”

Gw.a.n.ghae answered, spinning his right hand.

He asked the others in the room with him.

“How can they keep that position? Don’t they feel pain?”

“It is due to the difference of wrist health. Your Highness used the wrist too much.”

“I used it too much…”

Gw.a.n.ghae nodded his head.

He still spun his right hand.

When looking back, he exploited his wrist.

He practiced sword, shot arrows, and painted.

To make his father happy, he studied hard too.

He did not give time to rest to his wrist.

“Yes, you are right.”

“Perhaps you are doing too many things.”

Ganghyuk nodded his head.

Gw.a.n.ghae was a teenager.

Ganghyuk could not understand how a teenager had such a wrist.

What did he do?

Ganghyuk used to have weight training for 30 to 40 minutes every day, but he did not have problems with his wrist.

‘It could be because he exercised without a wrist protection gear.’

Actually, the adolescents in the growth period were easy to receive injury.

Given that into account, his status was still a bit abnormal

However, it was already happening. Ganghyuk should accept that.

“Why does it happen?”

Gw.a.n.ghae asked with the voice full of complaints.

He had seen many generals including s.h.i.+n Rip.

They were practicing more, but n.o.body showed such symptoms.

“As I told you now, there are a lot of ligaments in the wrist. If you move the wrist too much, the ligaments would swole. Think of the bruise on the skin we have when we are hit by something.”

Gw.a.n.ghae had no experience in being hit by something.

However, he saw his servants being hit many times.

He saw their calves swollen after a rod struck their body.

“I see.”

“The wrist has a small s.p.a.ce. When the ligament is swollen, the blood vessels and neurons are pressed. That is why you get pain and feel needles.”

“Heum.”

He could understand some.

It was the disease caused by his repet.i.tive activities, and this guy could cure it.

“Then, what should I do?”

“Eum”

Ganghyuk moaned.

The disease Gw.a.n.ghae had was Carpal tunnel syndrome.

It had nothing to do with his life, and there are many different remedies.

‘I think the operation should be the last option.’

Considering the conversations up to then, Gw.a.n.ghae seemed to trust Ganghyuk.

Ganghyuk did not want to spoil this relations.h.i.+p.

He did not know how much Gw.a.n.ghae trusted him, and if he would let him operate his wrist.

He decided to try other methods first.

“There are two ways to cure it. One is to use a scalpel for the operation and the other is…I think we should try the other one first. Without using a scalpel.”

“Eum. Good. Can we do now?”
