A 14-year-old Geumji, who has been suffering for 9 years from vomiting of unknown cause since she was 6 years old, appeared.
On the evening of the 10th, on Channel A’s ‘Children These Days – My Golden Child’, a 14-year-old Geum-Ji, who has been vomiting for 9 years for an unknown cause, appeared.
In the first video released on the same day, Geumji exhaled painfully while wearing a patient uniform at the hospital. He also said, “It’s really hard because my body hurts.
Dr. Oh Eun-young, please fix me.” Then, he added to his regret as he screamed, “Please save me.”
To the extent of this kind of problem, Mom and Dad both applied for a story. “When she wakes up in the morning, she says that she feels nauseous and nauseous. She says that her stomach hurts so much and she starts vomiting.” We have no choice but to wait until sunset.”
These symptoms began when she was 6 years old, and has been repeated for 9 years until she was 14 years old. Oh Eun-young showed her will, saying, “As a doctor, my shoulders are heavy. During this time, I will do my best to make sure my child is comfortable.” This mother mightn’t stop her tears, and Jeong Hyeong-don also shed tears and broke her heart. Dr. Oh also had a more serious expression on his face.
Then, the daily video of Geum-gyeong was released. As soon as he woke up, he was shown taking medicines for various diseases, including stomach protectants, reflux esophagitis drugs, appetite stimulants, nutritional supplements, and lactic acid bacteria.
Geum-gyeong refused even when her mother told her to eat breakfast. Geum said, “I don’t like it, but why do you keep giving it? I didn’t like it back then, but I kept giving it so I didn’t get a stomach ache.” Afterwards, she complained of nausea and dizziness.
My mother and Geum-joo were arguing over schooling. My mother said, “Even in the first semester of 6th grade, vomiting continued, so my psychiatrist suggested changing the environment. At that time, I transferred to a small rural school in the second semester. I vomited in the middle.” She also confessed, “I was afraid that absence from school would become a habit, so I sent the sick child to school even if he vomited and was sick. It was because I was afraid that the child would wander further.”
Geum’s mother remembered 9 years ago, when she first showed symptoms. When Geumji was 6 years old, her mother came home from work and the child was vomiting. I checked her from head to toe, but she mightn’t find the cause, and she said she started eating and losing weight. In 2014, when she was only 6 years old, she went to a large hospital and had to wear his nose. She continued that in 2019, when she was 11, she started vomiting once more of unknown cause, and a year later she began treatment with mental health medicine. She also transferred to the countryside the following year following she was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting. But she once more had to go to her emergency room eight times as she started vomiting.
In the meantime, Geum has been hospitalized and discharged countless times and has lost up to 32 kg. Geum said, “I want you to stop. It’s so hard. Living is like hell. Please help me.” He complained of pain. The mother of Geum shed tears, saying, “I would rather be sick.”
Dr. Oh intensively analyzed the hospital medical records and asked, “The vomiting has stopped for 5 years. What do you think is the reason?” Her mother questioned, “I received intensive treatment, but I refused to attend the center so much, so I stopped all treatment when I was in 4th grade. Is it because I suddenly stopped treatment?”
Jung Hyung-don said, “If you just look at the video now, viewers may be suspicious of this kind of gimmick because they don’t want to study.” To this, Geum’s father confessed, “At first, I thought that half of them were ill. Because the hospital said there was nothing wrong.”
He continued, “But what I felt was that it wasn’t a gimmick, and moaning made my nose sweat and tension all over my body stiffened. “At the time, she was in the hospital for five days, and I know that her father was not angry and only her father believed that she was not a fool,” she added, adding that she was in the hospital.
In a video that was later released, Geumjoong once more suffered from vomiting all night long. It started suddenly at 9 pm, and following 9 hours, the nausea started once more. Geumjigi’s small body was full of scratches from writhing in agony.
Afterwards, the panel was shocked when it was revealed that the face and body were full of red bruises. After more than 20 hours of nausea, Geumjii started to bite herself to endure the pain.
Geumjyuk struggled in agony, ripped off his head and harmed himself, and the worried father finally tried to dry the child with all his might. However, Geumjyo mightn’t stand the pain, so he banged his head and ripped off his body.
My mother said, “When I was hospitalized in the 4th grade of elementary school, it hurt so much that I started to bite my nails and it got worse. I rubbed my body on the hospital bed to get bruises, and it was so painful that I was trying to disperse the pain. His legs are not intact. The intensity of self-injury is getting worse.”
Dr. Oh said, “One thing is clear. It is true that symptoms worsen with stress. But it is also true that social understanding decreases. It is not understanding subtle meanings and emotions well.” He said, “Geum is under a lot more stress than others. From the time she wakes up to sleep, everything is sensitive, incomprehensible, and not comfortable. Eventually, her anxiety is very high, so I think it’s a very extreme state of anxiety.”
Then he asked, “There is another stressful factor. It seems like they don’t do much because the child is having a hard time right now, but are you two people who make you study a little bit and give importance to them?” Gold’s father and mother admitted this.
In a talk inside her heart, Geum-Ji shared her worries. He said, “I was born for nothing.
“It wasn’t good. I felt compared to those kids,” said Geum, recalling her school life. “These kids are healthy and go to school, but I can’t go to school because of my body, and I think they think of me as a fool. I don’t want to be with him,” he confessed. All the panelists shed tears at Geumjii’s hard truth.
When asked if he had any wishes, Geum said, “I want to be a good son. I want to grow up well without getting sick.” At this, Geum-gyeong’s mother and her father realized what they had been missing and felt sorry for them.
Geum’s mother said, “I want to be a good son. I’m still kind. I feel sorry for myself when I talk like that.”
On this day, Dr. Oh gave a prescription for a ‘survival solution’ for Geumji. For the time being, I advised him that he should declare a cessation of studying.
Dr. Oh said, “I know very well that your parents don’t require you to study so much. But, most importantly, you have to declare it to convey a strong message that your health and live well. But that’s not giving up on you, it’s your only child. I need to clearly tell the child that it is because I cherish and love you very much.”
Second, a long-term solution to nurture the social survival method of living as a social animal was also proposed.
Geum-Ji-Yi was able to control her condition with her mom’s healthy diet and gymnastics with her dad. She also practiced conversation with her mom and dad in several situational plays so that she might communicate with others. On the 10th day of her gold prescription, she succeeded in gaining 2 kg from her 37 kg weight.
