3. surgery
Then, as planned, I went to Korea in mid-September 2023 and underwent surgery.
I boarded a plane at midnight on the day of admission, stayed at the McDonald's until morning, and entered the hospital first thing in the morning to be admitted. The hospital's dedicated interpreter was actually hired before I arrived and we exchanged lines.
They explained to me beforehand that I would need a nurse and that the total cost would be about 100,000.
I wish they would have told me that first...
Then I also had a meeting with the office manager,
If you don't take rehabilitation, you have to take other optional treatments anyway, such as ultrasound treatment.
If you don't take rehabilitation, you should take any other optional treatment such as ultrasound (and drop the money to KC)," the office manager told me through an interpreter.
In addition, I was told for the first time in the contract just before the surgery
1、Patients cannot refuse to post videos of interviews and treatment on Youtube, etc. (mosaic and audio processing will be done).
2. If the knee is bent, the external fixation is not removed.
2, If the knee is bent, they will not remove the external fixation.
To be honest, the first point in particular concerns the patient's privacy, and it is threatening to tell the patient about it right before the surgery,
I think it is almost intimidating to tell them this just before the surgery,
However, I was in a foreign country, so I could not do anything.
If you look at KC's youtube page, you will see that all the foreign patients that I know of are in the video.
I know that all the foreign patients I know are in the video.
On the other hand, I know some of the domestic patients, but they are not in the video.
If a domestic patient is made to sign a document asking to cooperate in the monitoring just before the
If they were asked to sign a document asking them to cooperate with the monitoring immediately before the video, it would cause a lot of problems, including legal action.
This is just a guess, but it is highly likely that KC imposes mandatory monitoring only on foreign patients.
The interpreter told me that this is an advertisement for a Korean hospital and that there is no problem for you, a Japanese patient. However, KC has recently made a video for Japanese people, which is a totally sophomoric statement!
I later realized that KC has cameras everywhere in the hospital, including examination rooms and rehabilitation rooms.
I later realized that there are cameras everywhere in KC's hospital, including examination rooms and rehabilitation rooms. The following video was taken without prior explanation. Of course, this is stated in the contract that is written just before the surgery, so the patient cannot refuse the explanation.
When I asked the interpreter about the camera, he gave me a vague answer.
(Incidentally, this video was taken secretly, and it was not said that it would be filmed in the future, and the audio includes the author's voice in places without processing.
At this point, my distrust of KC was quite high, and in fact, it was right.
The doctor also said, "Rehabu! Is! Impotento!" and said the same thing as any doctor.
The surgery went well, although the nerve block anesthesia before the surgery was painful.
After the surgery, I was more sleepy than painful (which was a good thing).
I didn't remember much during my hospital stay. The day before he was discharged, his father arrived.
He then stayed at a hotel and continued his extension.
The pain from the thigh extension was so severe that the painkillers the hospital gave me did not work at all,
It was very painful.
Therefore, I asked my father to go to the hospital for consultation, and after the extension was completed, he made a promise to remove the external wound fixation immediately.
I asked my father to consult with the hospital and promised to remove the external fixation immediately after the extension was completed.
When the amount of extension reached 4 cm, it is very difficult! I was told that my bone formation was poor.
Oh... I knew that the painkillers the hospital had prescribed were no longer effective, and there was a risk of infection from wearing the external fixation any longer, and I couldn't take it anymore.
Looking back, I wonder if the fact that he was hospitalized once for removal of external fixation was a kind of theatricality.
Was it some kind of theatricality?
