Pissed

Seriously, I have a bladder infection. Since I don't know how to access health care in Korea, and knew asking for help would be difficult with the language barrier, I kept hoping I could drink it away with water. I did not.

I'll resume posting when I've made a full recovery.

Big shout out to the student affairs staff who go with their sick and injured residents to the hospital. It is so comforting during a confusing and scary process.

  1. Sorry to hear it! Ouch. If they have cranberry juice in Korea, try drinking lots of that. - utm

  2. Hey, it's Liz. INKAS will send a volunteer with you to the hospital or just walk into one of those Pharmacys with the big cross on them. They speak english/write english better than most other Koreans. However, I'd try INKAS first cause they will help you get a doctor! Hope that is helpful!
