# STEP 1

 

Talk about clinics and hospitals.

 

There are many clinics and hospitals in Korea.

Most neighborhoods have clinics for each medical specialty.

These include clinics for internal medicine, dermatology, orthopedics, OB-GYN, urology, cosmetic surgery, ophthalomology, and pediatrics.

When you get sick, you first receive primary health care at these local clinics.

If the symptoms get worse, or you need a second opinion, you can get a doctor's note and go to a bigger hospital.

Colleges with med schools usually operate a general hospital.

Patients visit these larger hospitals to receive treatment for severe illness or for surgery.

한국에는 병원이 매우 많다. 동네마다 대부분 과별로 병원이 하나씩은 있다. 내과, 피부과, 정형외과, 산부인과, 비뇨기과, 성형외과, 안과, 소아과 등이 있다. 몸이 아프면 일단 이러한 동네 병원에서 1차 진료를 받는다. 증상이 심하거나 다른 의사의 진료가 필요한 경우에는 의사의 소견서를 받아서 더 큰 병원에 가면 된다. 의과 대학을 가지고 있는 대학들은 대부분 종합 병원을 운영한다. 이러한 큰 병원에는 중대 질병 치료나 수술을 받는 환자들이 가게 된다.

몇 달 전에 몸이 많이 아팠다. 기침이 심하고 열이 40도까지 올라가서, 아무 것도 할 수 없었다. 심야 시간이라 동네 병원들이 다 문을 닫아서, 큰 병원의 응급실에 가야 했다. 응급실에서 검사를 해 보니 A형 독감 판정이 나왔다. 열을 내리기 위해 링거를 맞고, 침대에 가만히 누워서 안정을 취했다. 몇 시간 후에 약을 처방받아서 집에 왔다. 집 근처에 24시간 여는 큰 병원이 있어서 정말 다행이었다. 우리나라는 의료 시스템이 잘되어 있어서 다행이다.
