>The newspaper also says the man’s sister, who lives in Sweden, declined to cover the expense.
>Eventually, Hyuksin Seongmo Hospital in North Chungcheong Province, 86 km away from Seoul, agreed to perform the surgery seven days after Park began calling hospitals.
>The hospital’s foundation covered the remaining costs of an approximate total of €10,000 for the surgery after the Swedish Embassy contributed €5,340.
Aah sweet capitalism, where health for profit is seen as normal and cool so just let ppl die it’s fine
No travel insurance?
Guess there aren’t public hospitals or safety net hospitals in Korea.
Wtf? Aren’t emergency procedures free there? Or at least you do them and ask for money later. Life must come first in medicine, not money!
this happens a lot in South Korea if you’re a foreigner, i mean not the death, but being denied happen to a lot of foreigners. Koreans don’t take you seriously if you’re not korean, and also the justice isn’t as fair as western countries. They will always defend koreans in korea over an innocent foreigner
If he was in police custody he was the responsibility of the government in my opinion, health insurance or not. Especially for emergency care. This is fully on South Korea.
Pretty messed up, not even in US have I seen people turned away for emergencies. Usually outpatient clinics only won’t schedule appointments if someone has a huge debt to their clinic, like not paying for the last several appointments not just one.
Reading this i have so many questions.
Wheb i read his sisster dosnt want to help im guessing there is a big backstory of events.
That’s very messed up —also surprised the Swedish embassy wasn’t more involved. Seems like he fell through the cracks.
Super weird story. What’s the drug charge all about?
