Pediatrics in Hayang, Gyeongsan-si, Korea

There really aren’t many pediatric clinics in Hayang. There are very few of them numerically, so it seems like mothers in the area all go to central Gyeongsan, Daegu, or Yeongcheon to find a good pediatrician. I can’t travel far, so I usually go to the nearby Cham ENT clinic or here. The waiting time here isn’t long, so it’s a good place to go when your child isn’t in a condition to wait for very long. I also think it’s a big advantage that they have a pediatric specialist. However, sometimes it bothers me that when speaking with the doctor, he is very blunt and doesn’t fully listen to what the mother has to say. The nurses are kind. There are so many nearby hospitals where the staff aren’t like that, so I’m just glad that the staff here are friendly. I went there when my child had the flu. The nurses recommended getting Tamiflu through an IV, so I persuaded my child to get it, but then the doctor said it wasn’t allowed. At first, he said it was because the child was too small, but my child weighs 35 kilograms, so they’re not exactly small... He kept changing what he was saying, and it was clear that he didn’t want to administer it, so I got a prescription for oral medication instead.
