North Korean soldier’s medical report exposes the regime’s evil
NY Post ^ | Nov 24, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

‘Oh” is all that’s known for the name of the North Korean soldier whose escape to South Korea became a viral video. But we do have a bit more to the story.

Shots hit the 24-year-old five times in the lungs and intestines as he ran to freedom in the heavily guarded border zone. He’s now recovering in intensive care. His stomach contained raw corn kernels — a clear sign of brutal food shortages, though North Korea’s border guards are usually the regime’s most trusted, and favored, troops.

With “more than 20 years of experience as a surgeon,” said Lee Cook-jong, Oh’s chief surgeon, “I have not found parasites this big in the intestines of South Koreans” — or anywhere outside medical textbooks.

The refugee also has tuberculosis and hepatitis B. At 5 feet 5 inches and 130 pounds, he’s much shorter and lighter than the average South Korean his age.

You can see why he’s the third North Korean soldier to defect this year. And why the regime has its forces digging new trenches and planting obstacles to prevent any similar escapes, and reportedly has also switched out the troops that had been on the border.

“How to carve hobos” by Harold L Enlowe is a very educational and enjoyable book.

You know that's part of it. I hope he discussed preparation and baking as well.
