I have been extremely ill for the past few weeks. To date, I have attended the Seoul Foreign Clinic (close to UN Village). The physician there opened a medical textbook from 1972 to diagnose my condition. After my negative test results, he opened his textbook again to perscribe more medication. At this point, I attended to the International Clinic in Itaewon. Dr. Kim seems quite knowledgeable (although extremely busy with incompetent nurses). More medication with no results. Referred to Samsung Hospital to see a specialist. Same diagnosis, and more new medication. Ironically, each facility adminstered the same tests (for varying additional costs from 70,000won to 120,000won even though I have Medical Insurance). Currently, I have reacted to the medication (red swollen eye, dizziness, noxious). I am starting to lose hope here, and am seriously considering flying back to Canada to get a proper diagnosis and treatment! Any thoughts or recommendations?

I just wasted two hours of my time answering 600 questions for that diagnose me website, to be asked for $77US upon completion!

Could someone please recommend some FREE websites and QUALITY medical care centers in Seoul? Thanks again. Smile

Go to the international clinic at the Asan Medical Center near Jamsil / Olympic Park... fantastic place.

The International Clinic telephone number is 3010-5001.

Hope you get better soon,
