Why are you bothering me?

Episode 10

Yangtae.

Stop hanging around and make yourself useful by learning.

Sit down.

- Here! - What's this?

This is called Musk.

It's considered one of the best medicines like ox bezoar and bear's gall.

This is more expensive than gold.

Do you use mice as a medicine too?

Of course, especially the male ones.

Meat, gallbladder, eye, tail, bones... There is no waste.

What's this?

It's a deer's penis.

This is dog's, cow's and boar's.

This is a badger's penis.

Hello...

Ma'am! What brings you here?

I have something to say to you.

- Please come in. - Thank you.

I haven't heard about this before.

Same for me.

Where is he going?

I don't know.

It's like he's bewitched by something. He goes out every night

and comes back during the morning frost.

He won't say where he's been

or what he's been doing.

Has he become insane after being humiliated at the doctor's place?

That's nonsense.

Did he say anything to his wife?

Please find out what Joon is up to.

What do you think?

The pit of his stomach is tight and it hurts,

he can't drink and his neck is stiff.

I think it's Gyul-hyoong.

Tell me about it.

There are the Grand Gyul-hyoong, So Gyul-hyoong,

Hansil Gyul-hyoong, Yulsil Gyul-hyoong

Soo Gyul-hyoon, Hyul Gyul-hyoong, Yin and Yang toxic GyulHyoong,

and Jigyul Gyul-hyoong.

There is a basic principle when treating heartache and stomachache.

You must distinguish between old and new illnesses.

In the first stage of the illness, use medicine with warm energy to release cold energy

and lead the patient to have diarrhea,

but for old melancholia, you should never use warm medicine.

Using medicine that strengthens one's body, like ginseng

and Baekchool, will give more pain.

I'll keep it in mind.

Apply acupuncture.

Yes, sir.

Uh...

I have finished all the work.

Thank you. You can go home early and take some rest.

Yes, sir.

After all the humiliation he's had, he should have given up by now.

He doesn't have any pride as a man.

Wait for me.

This is a single path, where did he go?

Let's go down there.

Okay.

Phew, you scared me.

Joon...

Did you know we were following?

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Why are you wandering around in the mountain?

I said, what are you doing?

No need to shout.

We're not doing this because we want to.

Your mother has asked us to find out what you're up to.

She is really concerned about you.

Where are you going?

Don't worry about me.

You can go back.

Joon.

I said, go back.

Let's go.

Wait, Wait!

You don't need to worry.

Just go.

What are you doing? Go, Go, Go!

Go, Go, Go!

Did you see his eyes?

He's crazy. He's seriously crazy.

Medicine is an act of a human being trying to save oneself.

So, taking out a thorn stuck in your body is medicine,

giving a massage when your body is benumbed

and vomiting after eating rotten food are also medicine.

To know medical practice, you must know the human body.

Do you know that the human body resembles the universe?

The origin of life is the same as the origin of the universe.

The human head is round because it resembles the universe.

Our feet are rough because they resemble the earth.

Just as there are 4 seasons of Spring,

Summer, Autumn and Winter in the universe,

there are 4 arms and legs to a human.

Just as there are 5 elements in the universe,

there are 5 viscera to a human.

Just as there are 6 poles in the universe,

there are 6 entrails to a human.

Just as there are 9 stars in the universe,

there are 9 holes to a human.

Just as there are 12 hours in the universe,

there are 12 arteries running in a human's body.

Just as there are 24 solar terms in the universe,

there are 24 parts to a human.

Just as the universe is 365 degrees,

a human has 365 joints.

To cure a disease, you must manage the patient's mind first.

You must prevent patients from having false doubts,

or worldly thoughts.

And let their body be as it is.

Have the mind be as the sky and if it corresponds with the sky,

you feel peaceful, harmonious

and your sickness heals.

Joon...

Joon...

Don't say anything.

Until I say something myself,

don't worry about me.

Let me have some sleep.

There is a heavy fever, paralysis in the legs,

and pain in the back.

Apply acupuncture.

Pardon? Me?

You can't just watch it for the rest of your life.

I'm not sure where I should...

It's the back of the knee.

Lie down.

He has a bad cold and says he feels dizzy and has a strong headache.

Go on.

Where should I...

What is it that you can do?

You have been with me for so long.

And you still can't apply acupuncture to a patient with a cold?

If you're going to be like this, then you can leave.

Would you do it?

Yes.

Please face to the other side.

In the line of back of the neck, one inch higher than the hair is called Poongboo.

The sunken part 1.5 inch outer of Poongboo is called Poongji.

You apply acupuncture at these regions, left and right.

The depth of the needle?

It's 5 to 7 and a half pun.

When applying at the left Poongji, let the end of the needle face the right eye

and when applying at the right Poongji, let the end of the needle face the left eye.

Did you hear that?

Yes.

Apply acupuncture.

Yes, sir.

Oh!

What does she know about it?

She humiliated me.

She talks jargon in front of so many patients.

What're your thoughts, huh?

What do you think?

Hey, Jangswe.

Yes?

Please come here and have a seat.

Why?

You have a cold. Oh, dear.

I'll apply acupuncture for you and heal it right away. Have a seat.

You?

Don't laugh.

There is nothing strange about a doctor treating sickness.

I'm fine.

Fine? You have a runny nose.

If your cold worsens and it goes through the lungs

and if you spit blood, then you're dead.

Stop whining and sit down.

I'm fine...

I said sit down.

And stop laughing.

You guys should be prepared to learn something here

Left and right double hyul and Poongji hyul.

Why won't it go in? Did it touch a bone?

It won't go in at the Poongji Hyul.

- Let's do it again. - I... uh...

- Hey! Hey! - I'm fine.

Please, I'm fine.

Please just let me try it again.

Oh, no.

Hey, why don't you sit down?

No.

- Just once, just once. - Sorry.

Hey! Oh, dear!

There are 9 kinds of needles: Arrow-head needle, round needle,

blunt needle, bee needle, sword-like needle, sharp round needle,

filiform needle, long needle, and large needle.

It's good to make it with an old horse mouth piece.

To apply acupuncture, you need to find acupoint.

Acupoint is where the vital energy is gathered.

And, one can die if acupuncture is not applied properly.

So you must find the exact acupoint.

After finding the acupoint, the most important thing is the doctor's carriage.

The doctor must not bend his arms or legs.

When sitting down, he must not lower or pull back his body.

When standing up, his body must not be tilted to one side.

After finding the acupoint, if his body moves even a little bit,

then the acupoint may be changed.

So extra care must be taken.

Here, Drink this.

I'm sorry.

No.

Western medicines are bitter, but don't worry.

Here.

Drink this.

Here.

What! You fool!

- Please I'm desperate! - You bastard!

My father is about to die.

There is no doctor who would go that far! Get out!

Please!

- Please! - Go away! Go!

- Please help me! - What's all the commotion?

His father was gored by a bull and is about to die.

He says he needs to take a doctor to his place.

Who is he?

Well, he's a son of a butcher in Doosi.

A son of a butcher, how dare you!

We're busy enough treating people who came to the hospital.

Ask him not to disturb us further and leave.

Yes, sir.

Hey, go away! Get out!

Please sir!

- Get out! - Go! Go!

Please, I'm begging you.

It won't happen even if you beg.

My father will die.

You're driving me crazy.

You just don't understand, do you? Go away!

You're one stubborn man.

- Please! - Stop it!

What are you doing?

Uh...

Did you say you live in Doosi?

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Pardon?

Teacher, he's a son of a butcher

And a butcher is not a human being?

Sorry...

You get ready to go out for a medical check.

Pardon?

Hurry.

Yes, sir.

You go and bring some water.

Yes, sir.

He can't go to the toilet

Turn him around.

Yes, sir.

Oh, my god.

He was gored by a bull 2 months ago.

He said his back hurts and couldn't move at all.

He couldn't move, and so he got bedsores.

I will have to treat the bedsore first. Knife.

Yes, sir.

Bandage.

Yes, sir.

Your mother's searching for you.

Thank you.

Mother, it's me.

Come in.

I have set a date for a wedding with a daughter of Mr. Kim in Osigol.

As soon as the mourning period for their grandfather's death is over,

your wedding will be held.

Mother ...

No need to wait longer.

I have been living with your father, who is so staid.

So, I have been living until now, pinning my hopes and trust in you.

Please let me handle this marriage as I want it.

In my heart, there is only Yejin.

Yejin again?

I told you that she can't be your partner.

Whatever you say, I won't change my mind.

Doji.

I'll talk to you again.

Doji!

Oh my...

He's really insane!

Yejin, I shall...

Ma'am, the lady from Haman is here.

- Let her in. - Alright.

Ma'am,

What happened?

There is a suitable match for a marriage.

Who is it?

The man running the herb shop on Market Street in Sanum.

That's good. There is no time to meet, proceed with it.

But...

What is it?

The husband to be ... He's good, but

he's a bit old.

Don't worry. The age doesn't matter.

And...

What else?

His face is a bit pitted with small pox.

He's pockmarked? You never mentioned it.

That's okay. I don't care about his face.

She doesn't deserve even that.

Take your jacket off and lie down here.

Okay.

How is it?

It feels better.

Your cold feet will get better, too, if you do it 2 or 3 times more.

Okay.

Are you there?

Yes.

You can go.

Yes, ma'am.

Have a seat.

Yes.

After concerning myself about your marriage,

I found the right man for you and hurried here.

He's running an herb shop on the market street in Sanum.

The shop size is quite big and his business skills are excellent.

They say he won't let his family starve.

I haven't thought about marrying yet.

What are you talking about? You haven't thought about it?

You're not the family of Yoo,

and you can't stay here forever.

If you're leaving,

then getting married early would be better.

I will talk to the doctor and finalize your marriage, so be prepared.

And I have something to ask you.

Please take extra care when facing Doji.

I suppose you two are friendly because you have grown up like siblings.

But, you don't have family or relations.

Your acquaintance with him can be harmful to his future.

Rest then.

When there is a stomachache,

apply acupuncture regarding Naegwan, Joong-wan, Joksamli as the main acupoint.

After using SaBup method leave the needles in for a while

and take out the needles when the pain has gone.

What are you murmuring like a wet monk?

Is Doctor Yoo inside?

Yes, he's in the hospital.

You have become one crazy man.

Sorry?

Where there is a stomachache ...

Where are you coming from now?

I have been to Mt. Doryoo and seen Hyoojung.

You mean the Buddhist priest Suhsan?

He scolded me as soon as he saw me.

What did you do wrong this time?

A person in a monk's robe shouldn't borrow even one piece of rice

from the world of suffering.

But why can't I resist the temptation of having alcohol and meat?

On my way back after seeing the high priest,

I stopped by at Byuk So Ryung at Mt. Jiri,

and met an old friend of mine.

Was there a friend I didn't know of?

His name is Ahn Gwang-ik, a friend who used to be in a hospital.

What does he do in the mountains?

He digs internal organs of wild animals.

You mean he dissects?

Boosool: Dissection

Yes, when he was in the hospital,

he was favored by Mr. Yang Yesu.

But he was only interested in surgery.

He secretly communicated with a staff in the medical department

and was caught trying to open a person's body who died for treason.

So, he, himself was nearly killed.

Thanks to Mr Yang, who valued his medical skills, he didn't die.

But he was kicked out of there.

Did he open a person's stomach?

No, and that's why he's examining animal organs.

It's Yejin.

Come in.

What brings you here?

I have something to tell you.

I would like to go to Mt. Gaya with this Buddhist priest and

I want to care for patients with leprosy.

Daepoongchang: Leprosy

Please allow me.

It's beyond women's endurance. I can't accept it.

I planned that when I had learned medical skills, I would go to where

my skills could be useful and live helping the sick.

I know my ability is small,

but I would like to care for the sick, helping the priest.

You can care for the patients here as much as you want.

I can't see you put yourself in hardship.

Is there another reason why you want to leave this place?

No.

Please leave Yejin to me.

I know her.

She has the qualities to bear hardship for the sick people.

Will you leave?

Yes, sir.

Do as you wish.

Doji!

Doji...

No. I can't let you go.

There is only you in my heart. I've always loved you.

But where are you going? Do you mean to not see me again?

Don't you care if I fall down here? Would you be indifferent?

Doji...

How can you ignore my feelings, just to care for some lepers?

You and I have different paths to take.

Please concentrate on medicine

and enter the hospital.

I will leave.

No! I can't let you go!

I will do anything you say.

If you tell me to live as a country doctor forever, then I will do it.

Please don't leave. I can't let you go like this.

Yejin...

Yejin...

Dig here.

It's Bokryung, which strengthens the kidneys and lungs

and heals Sogal and the stomach.

This herb grows on pine resin.

So it grows near rotten pine trees.

Master!

Master!

It's Jinsimtong.

Jinsimtong: Myocardial infarction

I...

For Jinsimtong, I need to apply Sohaphyangwon.

But where can I get it in this deep forest?

Here take long needle and apply acupuncture at B-15.

How can I...

Do as you have learned.

But I can't...

Hurry!

Master...

Here.

Acupoint is where the vital energy is gathered,

and you can die if acupuncture is not applied properly,

so you must find the right acupoint,

Doinsool is storing up the energy of the universe inside your body

and smoothing the five viscera and the six entrails.

The viscera and entrails in the human body are linked.

So if you make their position right using energy,

then all sickness can be prevented.

Begin.

Put your hands over your head

and if you pull your opposite ear 14 times, you will hear better.

If you rub your two hands until hot

and rub them on your eyes 20 times,

then you don't get eye disease, and you can prevent paralysis.

The Ganjangdoinbup.

Ganjangdoinbup: Regimen for strengthening liver

And the Sinjangdoinbup.

Sinjangdoinbup: Regimen for strengthening kidneys

This can smooth liver and kidney functions

and can remove Banwee.

Banwee: Vomiting

I have done all, so you don't need to come anymore.

But I still have a long way to go. Please teach me more.

You shameless person!

I don't want to look at you every day!

You should have learned the basics by now.

Becoming a real doctor or not depends on you. You can go.

I am indebted to your kindness.

Please give me a chance to do something in return.

Crazy man. What would you do for me?

Just name it.

If I can, I will do whatever need be.

No, go.

But it wouldn't be right to step away from here.

Please name it.

I want to open your stomach, will you let me?

Pardon?

I'm sick of looking at wild animals.

If I could have one wish, it would be to look at a human body.

Would you let me?

If not, go away!

I want to open your stomach, will you let me?

If I could have one wish, it would be to look at a human body.

Would you let me?

Doctor Yoo is not here, but his son is here.

Is Doctor Yoo here? Doctor Yoo!

What's wrong?

It is the in-law of the County Magistrate

This is urgent, so please hurry.

Take him here.

Lie him down here. Hurry.

Looking at your strong heart pain and cold feet, it's Jinsimtong.

Jinsimtong: Myocardial infarction

If it's Jinsimtong...

What is it? What's Jinsimtong?

It's a disease in which 8 or 9 out of 10 dies.

Prescribe Sohaphyangwon. Hurry!

Yes, sir.

Um, sorry...

For Jinsimtong, Sohaphyangwon works fine,

but I think it's too late for the medicine to become effective.

It would be better to apply acupuncture with long needle at...

Shut up, you little!

What would you know?

You arrogant person!

What happened?

He passed away.

Please take the dead home.

Yes, sir.

What's going on?

He's the in-law of the County Magistrate.

He came in with Jinsimtong and passed away.

How did you treat him?

I used Chibup using Sohaphyangwon.

It was very wise to use Chibup with Sohaphyangwon for Jinsimtong.

But it would have been too late for the medicine to be effective.

If you had applied acupuncture at B-15 with long needle

and placed moxa cautery at CV-17, then he might have lived.

You...

How did you know that?

How did you know you had to treat Jinsimtong with needles and moxa cautery?

Oh, I...

I saw it in the medical book that Yejin loaned me before.

What?

I'm going, I'm going.

I'm leaving the graveyard.

My body which was fine yesterday and today

I'm sick of looking at wild animals.

If I could have one wish, it would be to look at a human body.

Would you let me?

Are you crazy?

That's impossible.

If you get caught...

How will you manage that?

I'm not asking to kill a live person.

I'm asking to look at a dead person's body.

You're crazy.

Knowing herb names and giving prescriptions is enough.

Why would you do these horrible things? Are you going to get something from it?

Not all doctors are doctors.

How can I prescribe without knowing

what a human stomach looks like?

Then should all doctors in the world cut open a human stomach?

Did Doctor Yoo do that also?

Even though it's a dead body,

if you get caught digging up the graveyard and damaging the corpse,

you won't be able to escape death.

It's not just anyone, it's the in-law of the Country Magistrate.

You will get yourself into deep trouble.

I'm crazy just like you have seen.

I'm crazy about practicing medicine.

But it's a road you can't go down without being crazy.

I have never disobeyed you before.

But not this time.

Please think about your wife and your mother.

Yangtae is correct. You have a famiy.

If you insist that you won't help,

I will do it myself.

Joon!

I'll do as you say.

Excuse me!

I have come thousand miles from Yongchun putting my trust in you.

If you go to death, so shall I.

Damn it.

Alright.

I live on friendship and die on it.

I know it's a crazy thing,

but I'll do it. Let's do it.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

My stomach!

I'm dying.

What's wrong?

- My stomach! - Are you alright?

- My stomach hurts. - It does?

My stomach hurts.

I don't think he's coming.

We have to finish it before the sunrise.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Let's move.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Do you really mean it?

You go down first, if you don't want to be involved in this.

I...

The sin I'm committing today, I'll pay for it in the afterworld.

But while I'm alive, I will save

many patients who are dying, through your body.

Who is it?

- What the hell are you doing? - Joon...

Let's go.

The grave ... What the...

It's Hur Joon.

Master.

If you want to be a doctor who truly sympathizes with the patient,

then think of the people first.

I have turned my back against the world,

but you become a doctor who will be beneficial to the world,

The books I have left behind are written by me,

after reading medical books of Euisuh and studying herbs in Mt. Jiri,

Refer to them and concentrate on practicing medicine.

It's late. Please take some rest.

No, you go to sleep first.

Hello! Is anyone there? Please save this person.

Please open the door! Please save us.

Please...

What's going on?

I heard a doctor lives here. Please save her.

I'm not capable of seeing a patient yet.

Please go to Doctor Yoo's place.

When would I get there? She's going to die soon.

Please save her.

Please save her. Please, please.

Please, I'm begging you.

Hurry.
