Korean healthcare rocks

I came down with the flu yesterday and have spent an unpleasant two days with a fever, chills, full body aches, a stuffy nose--the works. I don't have my alien registration card or health insurance yet, so I didn't think I could go to the doctor, though everyone was encouraging me to go. As luck would have it though, it is easy to borrow someone else's number and my coworker took me over to the doctor this afternoon. In twenty minutes I had an examination and a prescription for about $5.00. Within an hour and a half I was feeling worlds better. I have little packets of 5-6 pills to take three times a day for three days. I have no idea what she gave me and normally am not a fan of little packets of pills, but considering I have to be at work no-matter-what I'm happy for the quick fix. I've been told that the standard remedy for anything here is a shot in the butt of some sort of steroid, and consider myself lucky that I avoided that this time.
Hello meds, goodbye sickness.
