This set covers common symptoms, places and items at the hospital and pharmacy, so you can explain how you feel and understand what the staff say. Korean clinics are easy to reach, and a pharmacy sells many common medicines. In Korea you usually go to a clinic or hospital, get a prescription, then take it to a pharmacy nearby. Words here are for everyday communication only and are not medical advice. In an emergency call 119 for an ambulance. Staff often ask where it hurts, so learn the pattern 머리가 아파요, meaning my head hurts.

Mr. Gaon
