				| 
 |  
				| The word on the street is that this year's flu season could be pretty bad so I went to the GD Clinic in Kangnam yesterday for a flu shot.  With a Korean insurance card, the cost was 18,000 Won.  Dr. Koh Jae-joon has great English and excellent qualifications. He was recommended by a Korean attorney friend of mine. 
 The GD Clinic is located about a 15 minute stroll south of Yeoksam subway station (Towards Yangjae).  When you get to a major intersection with a Hana bank on the southeast corner and a Nonghyup bank on the southwest corner, turn left.  The clinic is on the second floor of the second building on your left.
 
 If you're on a tight schedule, you might want to email Dr. Goh for an appointment at:  [email protected]

				| I think you got ripped off.  I went to KonKuk University hospital.  I have no insurance or anything.  My shot only cost 15,000 |  |

				| Every year is a bad flu season. I'm sick at the moment, all my students are sick, all the teachers are sick. Looks pretty bad to me.  |  |

				| Ripped off?  No, I expected to pay a higher price at a private practice versus the State subsidized hospital that you went to. |  |

				| So can you just walk into any hospital and get one? 
 I'm not insured.  But would like the shot, considering NZ is a season behind, so will probably get a double dose.

 Is there a Samsung electronic store at the same intersection, or is that too far?  Near the Herbalife?

				| Are the flus here any worse than back home?  What's the worst that can happen?  You're at home, sick and miserable for a week and a half? |  |
