Korean. American. Podcast Episode 3: An Ounce of Prevention (Healthcare)
Join hosts Daniel and Jun as they discuss the differences in health care between Korea and America. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Every year, Koreans get a comprehensive preventative health screening. What is it like? Why are Koreans in dramas always hooked up to an IV? Are Koreans still smoking as much as before? What is it like being in a country with universal health care? As an American, are you always Google searching "when am I sick enough to go to the hospital"? What are all exchange students from Korea warned about before going to the US? As broken as the health care system in the US seems to be, what does an American living in Korea miss about it? What do ahjussis and NBA stars have in common? Why do Koreans prefer to "sweat it out" when they have fevers? What do dentists in Korea and the US have in common? Have you ever gotten "scaling" done from the dentist?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more!
