|
|
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.  |

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,
