Touch wood!! I abhor infirmary too its smell. It was a scary sense when I was stitched during high schoolhouse afterwards injuring my mentum inwards a dramatic autumn spell playing basketball.
Personally I had no sense existence warded or had whatever surgical physical care for inwards whatever Korean infirmary yet. But I had many times accompanying either unusual or Korean friends to Korean hospitals.
My friends has e'er warned me: "Don't ever dare acquire sick inwards Korea!! It's crazy expensive!". I never believed them but I do..now. Hehe..after this incident.
The flush goes similar this.
I was called early on inwards the forenoon on the minute twenty-four hr menstruum of Seollal 2013 yesteryear Feia..not hence forenoon similar around one-half yesteryear nine. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 invitee wound his finger inwards the guesthouse's restroom spell changing his clothes. Apparently the light was already broken earlier the incident too his finger hitting the sharpest border of the broken lamp.
Ouch!!
Well..it was the minute twenty-four hr menstruum of Seollal inwards Seoul too hmmm...the metropolis was barren too patently most departments of hospitals are closed. Majority of the cases become to emergency ward offset similar ours.
But that wasn't all.
This was what happened earlier I could run into the patient:
Before fifty-fifty reaching the 'correct' hospital, the patient visited Yonsei Severance Hospital first. The doctor's offset reaction: "This gonna live expensive!" Okay...so? "We accept to telephone band the plastic surgeon to sew you lot up". Well...this had been translated yesteryear some other doctor.
Their reaction was..."It seems similar full general surgical physical care for for us (if it is diagnosed dorsum inwards Malaysia) but either the doc desire to gain some profits from dumb unusual tourist similar us or...there could live some misinterpretation of the diagnosis..."
Alright, but the doc had some sympathy for us too he directed the patient to some other cheaper infirmary I guess- Sinchon Yonsei Hospital (which doesn't await equally grand equally Yonsei Severance Hospital..nuff said. Hehe..)
By this time, I was around to aid them too the patient's wounded finger was primarily bandaged without surgical physical care for performed yet.
We were explained of the normal procedures, the initial deposit was i one K 1000 won too every fiddling matter was priced upwardly to the tiny fiddling size of bandages!! On i side, nosotros similar it because the transparency was there. They took a lot of patience to explicate them i yesteryear one. On some other side..we abhor it...so much babbling but nosotros soundless accept to hear them anyway.
We demand the surgery..palli palli!!
After signing all the papers...err..more similar signing on the monitor screen, the patient changed to infirmary robe, took X-Ray, admitted to ward, fast for nearly some other iii hours too hence pushed into the operating theater.
I reminded the nurse that the patient's repast must accept no meat, solely seafood too vegetables but what had never crossed my take away heed was that the infirmary didn't prepare cutlery ie fork, spoon or chopstick. O_O So quirky.
Unlike Malaysia, if nosotros come inwards a somebody infirmary everything is prepared for us too nosotros simply accept to behave the exorbitant cost. But still..we pay what nosotros get..ya know. Well...back to reality, nosotros are inwards Korea..duhh.
Warning 1: Not all doctors inwards Korea are adequate amongst English.
Warning 2: Make certain you lot accept insurance to encompass your misfortune. Travel way most of the fourth dimension volition non live liable. There tin move live cases where you lot are insured dorsum inwards your dwelling soil for tike surgery, all the same the premium mightiness non necessarily encompass your oversea's emergency.
Warning 3: Beware of all the unnecessary too nonsensical impending procedures. You MUST live assisted yesteryear either a Korean or someone who understands Korean language.
Lessons learned: I learned hence much novel vocabulary related to 약 (medicine).
마약 for example.
The patient asked for morphine to preserve the hurting although the regular painkiller has been dripped for him. Since morphine is 마약 - an administered drug, hence nosotros accept to sign an agreement. The morphine costed about USD150.
