Internal Medicine in Wolgye-dong, Seoul, Korea

It's a small local clinic, but they offer various vaccinations and health check-ups, and even screenings for working professionals, so I started going there. It's nice because I can ask questions without feeling burdened, like I would with a neighbor, and they answer really well. I usually jot down any unusual symptoms I have to discuss with them.

I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, had a blood test, and received a prescription. The doctor was very kind during the consultation.

I started to have a sore throat on Thursday evening. There had been a flu patient at home for 6 days, so I didn't think it was the flu. I didn't have a fever; it was just my throat that hurt, and my body ached. However, I had to go to work, so I dragged my sick body to the office. As my throat got worse, I visited this internal medicine hospital in front of my company. It looked quite old, which made me trust that there would be a seasoned doctor. Since I couldn't talk well, the nurse kindly suggested I write things down instead of speaking. When I met the doctor, he was older. He listened to my breathing and, since I didn’t have a fever, decided not to test for the flu but instead gave me some medication and sent me home. It was a small, old hospital, but I liked that there was no waiting time and I was treated right away.
