Episode 547: Chicken Egg Pills
A comment that young, ignorant people make when they meet older men in the Internet environment.
‘Hey, straighten up, old man?’
The internet sages of the past life gave these guys this answer.
‘A man can do anything as long as he has the strength to lift a spoon.’
That’s why it’s a man’s qualification and pride to never experience erectile dysfunction until he dies, but it seems like your qualification and pride as a man have been scratched, hyung.
“Brother, what is this!? Why is my brother so seriously ill!”
“Oh, little brother, ugh···.”
“What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly!”
When I sat my brother down and asked him about the situation, he was embarrassed at first and refused to talk.
But when I tried to convince him that there could be no secret between us, my brother began to speak cautiously.
“Yes, that’s true. Thanks to you, I was able to ride the horse and become the eldest son of the Po family.”
“Yes, it was all thanks to my brother, but I also helped a little bit.”
As my brother said, thanks to me, my brother has become a very successful government official these days.
As I was whining at my brother’s compliments, my brother continued speaking.
“Yeah, well you did everything, but let’s talk about that later.
Anyway, your sister-in-law has been neglecting me because I’ve been gaining weight and stuff, but she suddenly says she thinks it’s cool to see me doing so well these days.
“Why don’t you go somewhere and get some black silk and wait for me in the bedroom? Anyway, I’ve been really suffering from your sister-in-law lately.”
“Oh, that’s what happened, huh?”
The fact that women are attracted to socially successful men may be an instinct engraved in their DNA.
I was also nodding my head because my nationality had been decided and I was being tormented by my wives, and my brother trembled and said.
“Well, I was fine at first, but I’ve been feeling strange for the past few days. Whenever it’s time for your sister-in-law to come home from taking a bath, my heart starts pounding and I start to sweat… I feel like something is stuck in my chest….”
‘No, bro, that’s perfectly normal, isn’t it?’
At your age, it’s only natural that you’d be scared even by the sound of your wife taking a bath.
I didn’t think there was anything strange, but I listened anyway.
Because I’m the only one who will listen to the story of my one and only brother.
Then, my brother continued his words with a gloomy expression.
“Anyway, after a few days, I guess I got a cold or something, my body suddenly… My body….”
Whatever the reason, it feels like something is seriously broken.
He said, holding his brother’s hand tightly.
“Don’t worry, brother. I’m here.”
“You?”
Normally, if I said something like that, my brother would have been moved and would have been moved to tears, but right now, he was in pain. When I told him not to worry in such a painful situation, my brother looked like he had a hard time believing it.
My brother seemed to be tilting his head, perhaps because I am not a member of the National Assembly.
I told you not to worry, even though I know nothing about it.
But if it’s my fault, it’s all my ability.
I smiled and answered my brother’s question.
“I’m not saying I’ll do anything myself. It’s just that we have a younger brother named Jang Jin at the funeral.”
My brother was delighted when I reminded him of our shameful existence, Na-u Jang-jin.
It seemed more like it was because of the medicinal king behind Jeongjin rather than because he was happy about Jangjin.
“Oh! That’s right, Jang Jin! I had that friend!”
“Now, let’s go to the Jangmun quickly and have my pulse taken. When I tell you, the Medicine King will probably come out himself.”
“okay!?”
First, I decided to take my brother to the funeral.
I still have the Miracle Recovery Pill from Zhongyuan Medicine left, but it’s really a last resort.
Before that, I was wondering if the King of Medicine at Janguimun could possibly provide some treatment.
The funeral that I found like that.
When we arrived at the entrance of Jang In-mun with my brother and informed him that we were there, Jang Jin ran out in a hurry.
Jang Jin saw us and ran over to greet us.
“Brothers! What are you doing here!? If you want to come, give me a chimney.”
When the two of us came together, Jang Jin looked a little excited, but when Jang Jin asked him a question, he answered with a serious expression.
“Jin-ah, hurry and call the Medicine King! My brother is very ill!”
“Huh!? Uh, big brother?”
Jang Jin was startled when he heard that his brother was sick.
Jang Jin quickly guided us into the funeral hall, and after a while, he came to find us with the medicine king.
“No, Lord Bokju is unwell?”
“Your Majesty, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty the Medicine King.”
“Oh, I see, Cheongwoon is here too. Come on, sit over here.”
The pulse was quickly taken after hearing that my brother was sick.
The medicine king blinked after taking the pulse and asked.
“Are you sure you’re not feeling well?”
He is a medicine king who can cure any disease by taking the pulse, but it seems like he wouldn’t know unless he was told.
“Actually, it’s imperfection···.”
“Failure?”
At the answer of my debt, the Pharmacist’s eyes turned to the waist of his brother’s pants, and only then did the Pharmacist nod and speak.
“Uh, uh-uh. I, I see.”
And then he quickly started taking my pulse again.
The figure of the king of medicine closing his eyes and feeling the pulse of the wrist for a while, then continuing to feel the pulse of the back and neck.
After taking the pulse for a long time, the medicine king shook his head at my brother and me.
I have a feeling something is serious.
My brother was startled by the sight and shouted.
“Poem, are you serious!?”
Perhaps, if it’s serious, we might have to call our brother “sister” from now on.
When the older brother asked with a trembling voice, the medicine king shook his head and answered.
“No, rather than being serious, what should I call this?”
“Yes, if it’s not serious, why?”
Since he started by saying that it wasn’t serious, my brother and I felt a little relieved, but there was something uneasy about the Medicine King’s words.
As my brother and I waited for the Medicine King’s answer, the Medicine King pointed to my brother’s chest and said:
“This is not a disease of the body. It is a disease of the mind.”
“Huh? It’s not a physical illness? Then what is it, Your Majesty the Medicine King?”
As my brother and I looked at each other and smiled at the words that it was not a physical illness, the King of Medicine answered.
“This is all a disease of the mind. Since the mind is sick, the body does not follow. Originally, the mind follows the body, and the body follows the mind. If the mind is sick, how can the body be healthy···.”
‘Huh! Psychogenic!’
After thinking about the pharmacist’s difficult words, it seemed that my brother’s erectile dysfunction was psychological.
Psychogenic refers to the fact that the cause of the disease is not physical but mental or psychological.
I once heard that most cases of erectile dysfunction in middle age are psychogenic, and it seemed that was the cause of my brother’s case as well.
“So, does that mean it can’t be fixed!?”
My brother looked surprised and worried, so I held his hand tightly and answered on his behalf.
Because we still have the crystallization of Chinese medicine, the healing pill.
“No way. Isn’t there a recovery pill in the funeral? Don’t worry too much!”
Even if it’s a psychosomatic disease, it’s certain that you’ll survive if you take the recovery pill.
So when I answered him as if to say not to worry, the Medicine King shook his head.
“The recovery pill is not a panacea, so I won’t listen to the recovery pill either.”
“You’re saying that the recovery pills don’t work!?”
No, it’s a reincarnation pill that made even the master of martial arts, Jang In, bleed from his nose, but you’re not listening to it.
When I made a face of disbelief, the Pharmacist answered in a voice that said, “Of course.”
“A regeneration pill is a medicine that gives someone who can swing a sword for an hour to the power to swing a sword all night long.
“It is the same as bringing several days’ worth of strength in advance, so it is not something that will be listened to by someone who is incapacitated or disabled due to mental causes.”
After hearing the story, it seems like the recovery pill isn’t all that effective.
It’s a drug that allows you to drive for long periods of time once you get the engine started, but it’s useless if the engine doesn’t even start.
At the medicine king’s words, the older brother’s expression changed to blankness.
“So, does that mean I can never be cured in my entire life!?”
‘Oh my. This is a mess! Maybe I should call him ‘Unnie Po’ instead of ‘Brother Po’…’
When I made a face like, “What on earth should I do in this serious situation?” the Medicine King answered.
“It is true that illness of the mind is caused by one’s own mind. Make up your mind and I will give you some medicine, so take it first.
“First of all, if you correct the slightly misaligned balance of your body, your mind may become better.”
It may sound like a great idea, but in the end, there is no real treatment method, so we are just talking about symptomatic treatment.
It seems that since there is no specific treatment for psychosomatic illness, they are trying to use that as a substitute.
Even in my previous life, there was no specific method for treating psychosomatic diseases.
It was while my brother was taking my pulse again and waiting for the medicine that the King of Medicine himself would prepare for me.
While I was waiting for the medicine with my brother, Jang Jin quietly called me out in front of the reception desk where guests were greeted.
“Brother, I need to talk to you for a moment. Big brother, please excuse me for a moment.”
“Come out?”
“Oh, okay.”
Jang Jin suddenly told me to talk quietly, so I followed him and he took me to the pavilion of the sponsor.
The guy asked with a worried look on his face.
“But brother, how did you get such a disease? Do you have any idea?”
Come to think of it, I didn’t tell Jang Jin why his brother got that disease.
He nodded and answered.
“Actually······.”
Jang Jin nodded as he told Jin, who was curious, everything he had heard from his brother.
The guy spoke with a very serious expression that didn’t suit him.
“In short, it seems that my older brother’s illness is due to his loss of confidence.”
“confidence?”
“Yes, brother. When you are attracted to women, you lose your confidence and eventually become timid, which leads to a state where you lose even more energy.”
They say that even a dog that has studied at a private school can recite poetry after three years, and Jang Jin surprisingly gives answers that seem plausible.
I asked, hoping that perhaps this guy’s value would rise due to his persistent persistence.
‘Is Jang Jin Pharmaceuticals soaring?’
“Even the King of Medicine says there is no medicine. What do you know?”
Then the guy nodded with a smiling face.
The guy asked, thumping his chest.
“Brother, Grandfather only knows about serious illnesses. I think I know better about this.
Who am I? Brother? Aren’t I Jang Jin of Jang Yi-mun, the one who has visited the most gisaengs in Bokju and knows all the gisaengs in Bokju? Brother!”
A guy who answers things that aren’t bragging as if they were bragging.
But when I thought about it, I asked, thinking that I probably experienced the most similar symptoms to my brother while attending the clinic.
“Are you saying that you can cure something that even the King of Medicine cannot cure?”
Jang Jin nodded at my words.
“Yes, I have already had it treated several times.”
“You cured it?”
When Jang Jin showed an expression of disbelief at the news that he had cured a person, Jang Jin scratched his head and answered.
“Actually, while I was working as a gynecologist, I often got asked to give that kind of medicine······.”
Listening to the guy’s story, he had once been asked by Giru for medicine for a similar incident, but since there was no medicine to use, he got drunk and made a lot of noise, which later led to an awkward situation.
I can’t get you that medicine because there’s no such medicine.
So, in order to avoid the crisis, Jin made a potion that he knew of using the medicinal herbs in the funeral home.
But surprisingly, the answer was that many people were grateful and said they had actually been cured.
“It’s not the medicine that’s important, but just having the mindset that you’ve been treated or are taking medicine that’s effective seems to be enough to get you cured.”
If we use the placebo effect, it’s a really far-fetched suggestion.
A placebo is also called a fake drug, and it refers to the use of a fake drug that does not help with treatment to achieve a psychological effect.
It wasn’t a bad suggestion, as erectile dysfunction is also a psychological factor, but there was a problem.
“But there’s a problem, Jinah.”
“which?”
“Even the greatest doctor in the Central Plains, King Yang, has already said that he cannot cure it. If you tell me to take your medicine, do you think it will be effective?”
If he was going to use a placebo, he should have decided in advance. In a situation where the King of Medicine said there was no medicine, who would think that Jang Jin was cured if he took the medicine?
So let’s say that it seems like it’s already over, Jin said with a smile.
“Brother, since you trust your words the most, how about you make some medicine for me?”
Our Po-hyung, would you believe me if I said I made soybean paste with red beans?
But I wondered if feeding it a medicinal dish would be effective, and Jin gave me advice like an expert in this field.
“There is a saying in medicine. If your liver is sick, you eat the liver. If your intestines are sick, you eat the intestines. So, wouldn’t it be good to cook something that will help your older brother’s illness? Since you said he has a kidney failure, what would be good?
“What about something like testicles? Are there any dishes made with testicles?”
The problem isn’t the ball, it’s the bat, but I think it’s not a bad suggestion.
I nodded, thinking it would be better than doing nothing.
“There is. Maybe something like Gyegohwan (???) would be enough?”
A dish made with chicken testicles.
I thought that might be enough.
