For the last 3 or 4 days, Raswan has had some kind of pinched nerve on his back, which he initially thought was just a sore muscle or knot. After inquiring about a masseuse in our neighborhood and coming up short, he decided to go to Shinmyoung Oriental Medicine office close-by.
This morning, Ras has been sending me text messages from the office.
11:24 am - i’ve got suction cups all over my back! next come the needles. gotta do this for 4 days.
11:40 am - next time pictures! got needles, bruises and blood!
11:58 am - now hot pads and blankets! my kingdom 4 a beer…
12:12 pm - fuck. still here.
12:22 pm - now 10 min of serious fucking electroshock! dear god.
I’ll have to see what he looks like when he gets to the office this afternoon.
Update: Ras came back and told everyone about his experience. It sounded painful… especially the electroshock therapy! He still has to go back Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. Amazingly, the hour and 45 minute treatment was only 8000 won ($8)! This was the aftermath. Oh my god!
