Miracle: Who Saved Kim?

 

after winter solace, Kim attended a funeral wake for a few nights. if the deceased was not a very closed relative, he would not attend. for his chinese zodiac sign was not supposed to attend funeral in the following year. 

old chinese believes that after winter solace means it's into the new year already. to be careful, it's best to follow the dos & don'ts of the following year. to be on the safe side, Kim wore several Amulets at the wake. 

shortly after chinese new year, for the next 3 months, Kim felt easily tired, sleepy & lost about 2 kg! he got to take nap often. also appetite wasn't good. a few friends told him of his changes.

Kim thought it might be due to age. as he moved into 60. he didn't have any major illness. such unexpected change carried on for another month. he decided to visit the polyclinic, hoping to get some vitamin or supplement. 

after hearing Kim's situation, instead of giving him vitamin or supplement, the doctor suggested Blood Test. the next day the blood test result showed infection at somewhere but unsure where. also enzyme in liver rather high. certainly surprised Boon! doctor wrote a letter & recommended him to go to A & E in hospital for further check-up.

Kim discussed the matter with the family. maybe they're old chinese, go hospital seemed scary! he decided not to go. just monitor. as next month was his yearly medical check up at the polyclinic. moreover he felt his appetite improved, gained a kg, quite active, & less sleepy.

at the medical check up session, the doctor was quite surprised that Kim didn't go to the hospital the last time. Boon told the doctor that he felt he's all right. further blood test was required.

a week later, the doctor shared the good news with Kim that everything was good. he asked Kim whether he went for TCM or self-medication. No said the happy man.

how did Kim get the illness? how did he recover?

Kim is a devoted Buddhist. he prays twice a day.
