Today, I went to visit the hospital for the clearance for my residency card. To declare residency in Korea, Aliens are required to go through an application and health screening process. I was driven by a representative from the school who translated the information for me. The hospital was really nice and modern. The wait for assistance was very brief. They had a great system. All of the doctors and nurses that I saw spoke english as well. I know your dying to know what they did, so here is the list:
height
weght
hearing test
eye exam
checked breathing
few past health history questions
urine test
chest xray
blood test
They are really concerned with AIDs and asthma here. What I found odd is that they do not want you to live here if you have AIDS, yet when the nurse took my blood, she wasn't wearing gloves. You just walk up to these ladies sitting a desk and they take your blood. Don't worry, I made sure I watched them unpackage a new needle. lol.
The processing of the residency card takes about 10 days. After this, I can connect internet and cable in my apartment.
