Internal Medicine in Baebang, Asan-si, Korea

I went in because I had a pretty bad flu-like cold. My phlegm and cough weren’t really going away, but I felt a bit better after getting treatment. They prescribed me liquid medicine, which was a little unpleasant to take, but overall everyone was kind and I was satisfied.

I have atopic dermatitis and hives, so I'm going to Asan First Internal Medicine. In the delayed food allergy test, they found I react highly to wheat and eggs, so they provided me with a restricted diet plan. I'm managing my diet while receiving allergy IV therapy and Histobulin injections. I used to feel that hives got worse after eating wheat, but since starting the diet management, it seems like the hives are coming up less often. Thanks to the IV therapy, my energy and overall condition have improved, and I feel less tired after work, plus I'm sleeping better. The itching is also less bothersome. Every time I visit, I write down all my questions so I don't forget anything, and they kindly explain everything in detail. Although the test for delayed food allergies isn't covered by insurance and was a bit of a financial burden, they helped with the paperwork for the IV therapy and Histobulin to make sure those were covered, which really eases the cost for me.

I go to the Sarangbang clinic to get my medication for high cholesterol~~~ The doctor is kind and pays close attention to everything... The atmosphere in the hospital is calm and clean, so it feels good to wait comfortably~~~ They also offer health check-ups here, and there’s someone dedicated to making appointments, so it’s easy to book a time~~ But the wait can be incredibly long due to the health check-ups, so I just go at a convenient time when I’m only picking up my meds, but when I need to see a doctor, I have to go late in the afternoon~~~ Otherwise, I might have to wait at least two hoursㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ There aren’t many hospitals in my neighborhood, so the crowdedness and long waits seem to be the biggest downsides~ I hope another health check-up clinic like Asan Central Internal Medicine will open up..
