went to the ER again.
something wrong with my heart.
the first 2x they shooed me away.
last sunday night my heart took a big BUMP and got myself there again.
again, they say it is nothing.
this time i had a korean friend in tow and came back in the daytime for tests. took alot of tests. 3x staff all told me it was my psychosis. they gave me a monitor to wear for 24 hrs. just took it back. seems i have developed an irregular hearteat thing that happens up 24x per day. but they say there is nothing that can be done.
ain't nothing in korea worth getting sketchy health care on. |

| alot of things can contribute to what your feeling , i had kidney stones a few months back , went to changwon hospital , they said i was crazy and gave me a pat on the back and sent me off after like 6 return visits of my blood spewing from my nose and headaches chest pains and many other insanity inducing pain they said i had kidney stones , but do you have a history of panic attacks or stomach ulcers? stomach ulcers can induce heart attack like symptoms |

| Um....why do you keep going back to the same hospital if you're not getting the attention/service that you require? There are so many hospitals here...if one doesn't do the job, find another one that will! |

first things, first: yes, the nurses were adorable and even more so, they were great.
why go to the same hospital? well, in some towns there aren't many choices so you go to the best one. |

People in your town must be dropping like flies. Catch a train or taxi to a real hospital. |

my english teacher had a similar experience here in Vancouver, though, probably not as serious as your condition.
But like someone said, you should've gone elsewhere if you got refused the first time |

| Try sneezing at work several times and see if there's anyone who thinks they should 'go hospital' with you. |

well...yes, the very first hospital ER did refuse flat out to even look at me back when i didn't have a korean health card. the hassle of insurance was about the last time the academy director ever tried to chat with me.
it was when that hospital refused me that many people all told me about the best hospital in town. been going to that one ever since.
yes, moving to some place with a higher health care standard has been on my mind for awhile now. |
