It seems that there is a professor in the neurology department at Daegu Catholic University Hospital who is a medical student.

 

The hospital is the topic!! That's the subject I've been waiting for.

Because I have a professor at the hospital where I am doing very well.

 

 

 

 

This is Daegu Catholic University Hospital where I am receiving regular medical care.

This place is centrally located, so accessibility is good.

It seems like there are a lot of buses running as well.

There is also a subway station nearby.

It's not far from my house, so commuting isn't a burden.

 

I had a cerebral artery dissection after COVID-19.

There is no definitive cause for cerebral artery dissection.

I am the stressed-out me.

I think it might have happened due to multiple burdens or stresses.

Cerebral artery dissection refers to a condition where the inner wall of a blood vessel tears.
If the inner wall of the blood vessel tears, the blood vessel becomes thinner and can rupture.
A cerebral hemorrhage may occur.
The outer wall is torn, causing blood to flow into the brain.
or a blood clot forming in a torn wall
As the torn inner wall heals, the blood vessels become narrowed.

A stroke may occur.

Fortunately, only my inner wall was torn, and the blood vessels held up well.
The torn blood vessel healed well after the follow-up examination.
They said that the blood flow is blocked on that side, so the blood is flowing through other vessels.
So, the path I need to take is blocked, and I am taking a different route.
We need to be careful when choosing other ways to receive more blood.

 

 

 

 

A place where I received help through all these processes
Neurology Department at Catholic University Hospital,
Among them, I am receiving treatment from Professor Do Jin-guk.

Actually, when I first saw Professor Do Jin-guk, he seemed a bit eccentric.
About my illness, treatment methods, precautions, etc.
You explain very thoroughly and in an easy-to-understand way.
He keeps talking about his own stories from time to time.
Feel free to share with me and my husband the stories about how difficult your medical treatment was, haha.
I dislike talking about unnecessary things a lot.

However, you see.
It must have been destiny with Professor Do Jin-guk!!
I have the same last name as you.
The familiarity that comes from it not being a very common surname.

My professor always says, "My family members are a bit sensitive."
That's why the Do family members are tired.
I know well. Those guys...
Please tell me this kind of story.
As a result, both my husband and I who went together

I find myself enjoying listening to the professor's stories before I realize it.
If you say that today's treatment was difficult
Oh~ quickly get your treatment and go inside to rest.
When you go for a medical consultation, especially in the neurology department of a university hospital, there are many elderly people.
Meanwhile, since we are relatively young, do you think you'll open up when we come in?
The consultation time was definitely longer compared to other patients who came before.
The professor also shares personal stories...
Anyway! I successfully established rapport with the patient.
I believe that more than half of the treatments have been successful.

Cerebral artery dissection has been monitored consistently through ongoing medical care.
Fortunately, it was resolved without any bigger issues occurring.
From now on, it seems like it will be enough to occasionally check and just manage.

However, the problem is the persistent migraine I am experiencing.
When you saw me for the first time, you asked if I had a migraine.
I knew you would say that since you mentioned it.
The professor was telling a story.
Even though I was born into a house with nothing and was a complete fool who didn't study at all,
My parents didn't tell me to study.
Instead, when I tell them to study, they don't listen.

I think you did it because you knew I was a troublemaker who does other things.
Our folks can be a bit stubborn and temperamental, can't they?
However, I decided to become a doctor precisely because of my migraines.
I suffered a lot because of the relentless migraines.
I wanted to study properly and overcome it.
In short, this is it.

So, Professor, you're not very familiar with migraines.
Because I have experienced it, I know what kind of pain it is and what symptoms are present.
That's why I trust you even more.
I am doing as the professor instructs.

This is what you told me to strictly follow.

 

 

 

First, do not be overly sensitive about migraines.
Don't feel burdened about taking medication.
When early symptoms appear, you were advised to follow the medication schedule strictly.
It's not like I eat it every day, but suffering for a few days due to illness is more stressful.
It is said that taking medicine quickly and recovering is better.

Fortunately, I was prescribed a migraine medication that suits me.

It is being used well and on time.

Of course, if you miss the timing of taking this as well, you'll suffer for three days.

I am listening carefully to my body's signals to prevent that from happening.

 

 

 

Second, let go of your 마음.
It's not easy, but they said it's something you must do.
Professor, since you are a person who thinks a lot.
I also know that I am a person with many thoughts.
They told me not to let go easily and to just zone out.
Go out into nature, step on the soil, breathe in the wind, look far away, and let your mind wander.

I was so glad because I was just out camping.

I think the professor and I get along well!!

 

 

 

Third, exercise.
This applies to both sick and healthy people.

It's something that should be done so naturally, but...
Since I tend to have high blood pressure as well, I must definitely lose weight.
Blood pressure medication may be prescribed, but
Since you're still young, I don't want to make you take medication, so I suggest you exercise.
The best thing is running.
The professor said he lost a lot of weight that way.
This is also related to letting go of the heart.
They said they run to clear their mind because they have a lot of thoughts.
As a result, my physical strength improved and I lost a lot of weight.
You have to run for me..
They said to make sure to walk at least ten thousand steps even if it doesn't work.
So, I lost 7 kilograms in just that one month.
I got scolded by the professor again for gaining weight... haha

 

 

I just prescribe medication related to the symptoms.

You can say, "Eat this and get better~"
Gaining the patient's empathy by sharing personal stories.
The fact that you want to help me recover without medication if possible
I really liked it a lot.
So, sometimes you even talk nonsense for no reason, haha.
I'm really having fun today~ listening to it ^^

Isn't it uncommon to have a professor like this at a university hospital?

I think someone from the Department of Internal Medicine might be Professor Do Jin-guk.

 

 

 

 

The neurology department where I receive treatment is located in Stella Building.

A few years ago, it was remodeled, so despite being an old hospital

The building's facilities are very clean and comfortable.

Parking can often be difficult even when visiting a university hospital.

I think the parking lot is well-maintained and properly managed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh~ I didn't know because I don't take the bus.

There aren't many types of route buses.

(Still, there is a bus that goes near my house!!)

Then, please use the shuttle bus.

It is set up so you can get off at the subway station.

 

 

When I think of university hospitals, I imagine all the professors as strict and formal.

Patients who are not in urgent condition are considered insignificant.

I had only been exposed to that kind of image.

Seeing many patients and witnessing many emergency situations

Of course, I think that's likely.

But I met Professor Do Jin-guk of the Department of Neurology at Daegu Catholic University Hospital.

I realized that there are people like this.

My meeting with the professor is destiny.

Perhaps the professor doesn't know...

I will do my best to provide diligent medical care and manage my health well.

 

Professor Do Jin-guk's consultation hours are

Monday and Wednesday afternoon / Tuesday and Thursday morning.

I have an appointment scheduled for Monday afternoon.
