Koreans are fragile people. Any sickness, just a little cold, is enough to send them to the hospital. Kids need a bandage when there's a little scratch that isn't even causing them pain, but it's visible so they need a bandage. If a kid's arm is aching, it goes in a cast. I told Director Lee I had a small cold and that it was getting better and he immediately asked if I'd been to the hospital and then urged me to go and get medicine for it. I told him in America we have a saying, but it's actually a Chinese saying my linguistics professor told us about:
Have a cold, take medicine, one week later, all better.
Have a cold, don't take medicine, one week later, all better.
Have a cold, take medicine, one week later, all better.
Have a cold, don't take medicine, one week later, all better.
