Family Medicine in Jukdo-dong, Pohang-si, Korea

I went in because I had a fever and body aches. After an auscultation exam, I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis and received an injection and a prescription. It’s a local Family Medicine clinic that I often visit when I’m not sure which type of hospital to go to for a particular condition. The doctor has a lot of experience and explains things well, so I always feel comfortable going there.

Myocardial infarction. Attending doctor: Lee Sang-hoon Currently, I have almost no pain, but I am consistently taking my medication to manage it well. I always make appointments in advance, so I don't have to wait long before consulting with my doctor. The cardiology department usually has a lot of patients, so I feel I need to continue managing my health well in the future. The nurses are generally kind. One downside is that heart disease patients need to check their blood pressure. There are only a couple of places to do that, so there's a lot of waiting involved. I'm told to limit alcohol, but I'm not very good at sticking to that. I'm always worried about a possible relapse. I should be eating more alcohol and vegetables, but I'm not managing to do that. I always think that I need to take better care of my health moving forward.

I came to get a prescription for my chronic disease medication. I also got a flu shot. The doctor and nurses were friendly, and the view from the hospital waiting room was amazing. The waves of the East Sea seemed to ripple right at my feet.
