We are a civilian family living in Daegu, South Korea. That means we are last on the list to be able to use the army facilities for medical care. I really wanted to get accustomed to being a local so I decided to go to a Korean Hospital.
The boys have to get physicals before they can go to school. So I went by the hospital and booked their appointments. I can also just call in and get an appointment same day! YAY! They have an international department in the women's hospital, which is great. They will walk you over to the pediatric side for your first visit.
Once you are there, you get a ticket when you walk in the door and wait for your turn. Once called, you get a paper with patient information and walk upstairs. You turn it in to the lady at the front counter and wait to be called. You can see your name on the screen as well. You will have a nurse walk you through EVERYTHING! It is wonderful and so easy!
The boys got weighed and measured and then we waited for the eye doctor!
Once you are done, you go downstairs and pay. They have a pharmacy there as well. We waited to get our medicine after we made payment. The way they dispense their medicine is so neat. They come in cool little bottles that you can mix in an empty measuring bottle. You can squeeze out the medicine super easy and Harrison actually enjoyed drinking it this way.
I highly recommend checking out this hospital. I will be using them as well. They are so kind and helpful and extremely professional. First experience at a Korean Hospital was a success. Oh, and they definitely have cafes all over the hospital too! Love it!!
