"Nice medical service but expensive"

"Worst ever !!! Its university hospital where interns practice on poor patients before shooting of and openining their own clinics. Came here seeking help cuz was coughing out blood ... Took Xray took EKG waited for 6 hours to see an actual doctor to hear diagnosis .... Been to Multiple hospitals but this one is so far THE WORST ! STAY AWAY ! When i complained once that its been three hours since im waiting they told me: wait more ... Also NOBODY speaks english !!!"

"Emergency room staff refused to admit and treat me after I came in wheelchair less than 10 minutes after being RUN OVER BY A CAR on 2022/01/03. I was crying, breathing heavily, and hyperventilating, with pulsating leg and blood coming out of my ankle. The staff took my condition as a covid symptom and refused to admit me. You can never convince me that the medical staff of one of the biggest hospitals in Seoul couldn't differentiate between covid and person who was just run over by a car. They refused to treat me because I am a foreigner and they don't want to deal with me."

"had been a 2 days for surgery. could not park for 2 days even hospitalized, it's not free. so had to go by taxi. felt that all doctors and nurses are so kind and professional, but think that this hospital need more elevator for patients or dedicated elevator for surgery. had to wait more than 15 min to take on elevator even I was lying on bed for surgery."
