본문
Jeong Hyeong Do spent twenty-six years as a police detective until an unfortunate accident changed his life. During an investigation of a body on a mountain, a fall nearly left him paralyzed. Jeong Hyeong Do received surgery to avoid that possibility but was hospitalized for a year.
It was 2005. We found a body on a mountain in heavy snow, and four police officers had to carry the body down the mountain in that weather. We slipped and fell, and I severely injured my back.
I went to a hospital, and the doctor said, ‘You have to have surgery right now. Otherwise, you may be paralyzed from the waist down.’
So I received back surgery and something went wrong with the nerves, and I was in the hospital for about a year. So it took me about five years to return to my ordinary life.
