Hello all,
I just got back to Korea after vacation in Thailand. I think I must have had some of the water because something's just not right. I was wondering if anybody had a recommendation for any doctors in the Pyeongchon or Southern Seoul area that can speak decent English?
Thanks to anyone who can help. |

Ajou University Hospital is in Suwon. About all staff speaks English, and it's a world-class place.
Anyang Hospital is closer to you, and well-known.
EDIT: If you're really ill, don't go to the local clinics. Go to a big hospital. Anyang or one in Sanbon. |

I had the same experience when I returned from Thailand. I went to local clinics and they told me to drink hot water and keep warm. Oh, and here's something to soothe your tummy .
I gave in and went to Hallym University hospital http://www.hallym.or.kr . It's easy to find, right by Pyeongchon Station. The doctors speak pretty good english and i've never had a problem there. You may want to ask them to do a parasite test, which is not too expensive. I had to go on antibiotics for 2 weeks but the problem was solved. |
