I had a similar experience. Super sick, had to go a couple times over a couple weeks, they loaded me up with drugs...entire thing was $40. Came back to the U.S. still a little sick, 1 visit to the doctor for some follow up, and no drugs, $180 with insurance. I love Korean medicine.
Yeah, that actually must be kind of a pain, huh!! Lol. I guess we all feel like we know you and tend to be too nosey at times!! 😬But, please know it's genuine concern. I had a horrible bout of Bronchitis and it was awful. That's all I kept thinking about watching your videos & wishing I could send you some cough medicine!!! 😂
Every time I'm Ill I regret all the days that I was unproductive... I hope you get better soon and can get on with your life 🙌🏽 (And your channel .. I've become a fan)
I'm in the exact same boat! I was being told by everyone to go the hospital here but I didn't go. And when I finally went I got all the same medications including the caramel cough syrup haha
Hey Nancy! I'm new to your channel and I gotta say I love your content! I'm actually curious if your insurance actually renews? Or after using your insurance then you have to pay the original price for the bills?
If you lose your job, you just go to the National Health Insurance Service and tell them that you lost your job. They will then recalculate and present you with a monthly bill (less than what you pay if you had a job)
omg when you said the nebulizer was like a hookah I lost it omg. I used to have to use that all the time for my asthma when I was a kid, and I always angsted about how long it took. Glad you're feeling better! (even though this comment is super late lol)
I love That syrup.. it's really helpful for your dry or sour throat. Whenever I saw a doctor for similar symptoms like you, it was always prescribed and got be okay. In Korea, to see a doctor isn't a big deal in terms of money and any other cost. Whenever you feel bad, go see a doctor. Of course you can sea a doctor who can be fluent in English specially in big city like Seoul. Take care~
The breathing thing was probably albuterol, it opens your lungs to help to help relive congestion. It's fast acting but doesn't last long. It's usually folowed by a prescription for it in a liquid or pill form, slow acting but last longer. Feel better soon.
korea doctors are really really good at study when they student days. top of tops can go to medical school. they learn english medical words and read english medical books but they are not training conversation or speak in english.
After a week should definitely go to see a doctor.stubborn FancyNancy 😜 At least it sounds like recovery is now on track and you'll be back to your non wheezing/coughing self in no time.
Usually you will see improvement quickly on those meds. The breathing thing looks looked it was a nebuliser, probably with a bronchodilator in it. Get better soon sweetie xxxx Rose
I think you been to wrong place. the place was an orthopedics clinic. you should go to ENT clinic(이비인후과). They thought you're injured, so they took X-ray to find out where is broken. Usually, specialized clinics don't have equipment for other symtoms, so going to the right clinic is important. and if you have just cold, you can go to pharmacist. In my experience, their medicine works better than clinic medicine. and it's also cheaper than going to clinic since they call you multiple time. Here's some symtoms in Korean: 기침=cough, 재채기=sneeze, 콧물=runny nose, 인후통=soar throat, 두통=head ache, 발열=fever, 오한=shiver.
edited because I misunderstood the mentioning of the hospital! it indeed was a spine and joints center, wonder why the coworker sent her there 🤔 but oh well, they helped her, so I guess its fine!
I've been in Seoul for am month and I've already come down with the crud... how long did you wait before you went to the hospital? Its been a week of pure misery... fever, chest and nasal congestion...
Koreans really knows how to treat people having a cold etc. In my country they don't really give a **** unless you are caughing blood. And this country is supposed to have the world's happiest citizens lol.
Jojo Jo I would suggest you get like a pack of disposable face masks! They sell them at drug stores or stores that sell medicine (약국) in Korea. Disposable masks are daily thin and easy to breathe in. Download the app "air visual" if you're concerned about the air pollution and yellow dust. Yellow dust is really bad in Korea right now and even if you think it's okay to go out with a mask, I would suggest you have one on you always since the air pollution fluctuates everyday. Better safe than sorry :) yellow dust is really bad for your skin so masks help protect your skin as well.
do you think it was pneumonia? or bronchitis? that's what it seems like. i'm glad you went to the hospital though because it could've gotten even more serious
"I love you, Korea" 🙏 Bless cheap medicine. I forget in some places you have to pay when you go to the hospital 😅 I hope you feel better soon!

I am soooooo glad you finally went!! I was wondering how you were doing!!! Take care of yourself!! 🤧😷

Hey Nancy! I'm new to your channel and I gotta say I love your content! I'm actually curious if your insurance actually renews? Or after using your insurance then you have to pay the original price for the bills?
Hello :) the place I work for pays for my insurance and I pay half. If I didn't work I would have to get it myself...and idk how to do that in Korea.
If you lose your job, you just go to the National Health Insurance Service and tell them that you lost your job. They will then recalculate and present you with a monthly bill (less than what you pay if you had a job)
Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Get well soon and take care ~
Feel better Nancy! Sending healing thoughts!
+Hunter Parsons thank you!
Feel better n lots of rest.
omg when you said the nebulizer was like a hookah I lost it omg. I used to have to use that all the time for my asthma when I was a kid, and I always angsted about how long it took. Glad you're feeling better! (even though this comment is super late lol)
Hope you feel better very soon.

Under $20,000 what a deal!! lol Please feel better~ ❤
+Ryan Lundgren yeah Korean insurance is great why go back to America?

I would have thought the Korean doctor would at least know basic English LOL.
+Gracie C. She seemed to know it just not confident in speaking it
Nancy, get a humidifier for your place.
get well soon 💕
Hope u feel better by now..
Get well soon. from Sunny warm California
I hope you get well.
I was always sick when I lived in Korea!
💕 please dont over exert yourself 💔
Usually you will see improvement quickly on those meds. The breathing thing looks looked it was a nebuliser, probably with a bronchodilator in it. Get better soon sweetie xxxx Rose
+Milkymoles on Makeup & Life thanks Rose I hate eating medicine but it seems to be working
Fancy Nancy TV that's good to hear. Make sure to take some probiotics or eat kimchi when you finish the pills to balance out your flora again xxx
those breathing machines are great.
i think your korean is better than mine, don't worry as much about the language barrier
I think you been to wrong place. the place was an orthopedics clinic. you should go to ENT clinic(이비인후과). They thought you're injured, so they took X-ray to find out where is broken.

+Kevin Gineman no they took an X-ray of my lungs and my coworker who is Korean went there before
Fancy Nancy TV but it says spine/joint specialized clinic. I don't get how cough and spine can relate.
edited because I misunderstood the mentioning of the hospital! it indeed was a spine and joints center, wonder why the coworker sent her there 🤔 but oh well, they helped her, so I guess its fine!
Would you consider Jeonju to have high air pollution? Get well soon, I hear laughter helps in this type of situation.
I hope you feel better!! think it pneumonia.😳😷
Hookah ?! 😆 I used that for my asthma
take care boo
Please do an apartment tour❤
Get well soon remind me of my daughter in college and had to yelll at her to get her to go to the doctor 💕🌷Miami
Korea is a non english country... why do everyone think that Koreans MUST speak fluent english. Do Japanese speak fluent english????? Only some. Wth
20,000 won = $20 ? hope you heal quickly
fighting!
I've been in Seoul for am month and I've already come down with the crud... how long did you wait before you went to the hospital? Its been a week of pure misery... fever, chest and nasal congestion...
how much did it cost in american money?
you OK hear💊
Koreans really knows how to treat people having a cold etc. In my country they don't really give a **** unless you are caughing blood. And this country is supposed to have the world's happiest citizens lol.
Hi take care .☺☺☺😊 Btw can you tell whats your fav song of all time 😇
U can receive insurance?generlly u can,t receive insurance in foreign,s case.
who sick 😣
What??? Only Korean spoken in a hospital in Korea??? How dare they???!!! (SARCASM)
+Istvan .Vilmos hahaha righhttt? Guess I just have to get really fluent in Korean. I learned what runny nose is in Korean
;-)
are masks necessary in May? l will be there in May! Was wondering if the air pollution is bad even in May.....😀thank You if you can reply!!
Jojo Jo not necessary but very helpful and makes it so that you won't be breathing in as much pollutants
Hiiiii :) Thanks a lot for your reply!!!!!!! :) Which one do you use???
Jojo Jo it doesn't really matter which one you use it's all personal preference. thicker ones might be nicer but can also be super hot
+Jojo Jo you should check the pollution index daily because it changes
Jojo Jo I would suggest you get like a pack of disposable face masks! They sell them at drug stores or stores that sell medicine (약국) in Korea. Disposable masks are daily thin and easy to breathe in. Download the app "air visual" if you're concerned about the air pollution and yellow dust.

do you think it was pneumonia? or bronchitis? that's what it seems like. i'm glad you went to the hospital though because it could've gotten even more serious

Please, stop being insecure. I love your videos
