Song Pil-geun survived pancreatic necrosis...I lost 35kg and was on the verge of sepsis



Song Pil-geun endured the pain of melting his pancreas..."I lost 35kg and I only have bones left"

Comedian Song Pil-geun confessed his time in a hospital bed where he lived and died.

In the YouTube channel 'Wiracle' video released on the 25th, Song Pil-geun carefully brought out the past when he was battling necrotizing pancreatitis. He "It was a disease of melting organs. I couldn't move, couldn't eat, and I lay in the hospital for three months with just an IV"I recalled the excruciating pain of the time.




In the meantime, he lost as much as 35 kilograms of weight and lost all his muscles, making his limbs skinny. "Inflammatory levels were 72 times higher than normal people, and even with antibiotics, they did not listen. The doctor told his wife the seriousness of the situation, saying, `This week is a crisis.'

Then one day "It stopped just one morning. Now they say we have to operate.'"The melted liquid of the pancreas was filled with revenge in the stomach. I'm going to make about 8 holes and take them out laparoscopically, but if it doesn't go well, I heard it could be incised. Eventually, the incision was 20cm and all were taken out. The ascites were removed by continuously washing and injecting them with saline solution. The surgery alone took five and a half hours."

The skin color returned after the surgery and was declared completely cured a year later.

Song Pil-geun "When people are sick, they find religion. If you save me, I will not live like before."The cause of the illness was stress. I thought it was natural to be stressed because I was usually a perfectionist. I thought it was weird if it wasn't hard. I changed my mind after I got sick. 'I'll do my best, but I can't. I'm trying.'" I'm grateful for everything after the accident."

Song Pil-geun, who is currently without part of the pancreas because it is melted, laughed "My fan club name is Pancreatic People."

Meanwhile, Song Pil-geun created a musical-like stage with Byun Jin-seop's song "To the Lady" in the corner of "Knowing Song" presented at the 「Gag Concert」, a story of a man who loved a deaf lady. Song Pil-geun "It's so sad for us, too. It was pointed out that it was not a joke, but "The director pushed it up for me." He put the idea on stage in the second episode because "I didn't know there was disabled people's day, but suddenly the idea came up "To the lady". I even rehearsed without knowing the sign language, but the director burst into tears. I was able to learn sign language and go on stage in a day with the evaluation that 'everything is okay except for the fake sign language'," he said.
