Pusan has a bit of a reputation as a health-care destination because the Korean Won is so cheap compared to the Dollar or Yen. There are a lot of medical tourists from other countries who come here for plastic surgery.
Yesterday we took a tour of a local hospital with one of their international counselors. She is a registered nurse and helps foreigners make appointments and figure out their medical needs. The hospital is two hospitals in one. A western hospital and a traditional oriental medicine hospital. So, if you have a headache, they can take x-rays and then prescribe acupuncture.
The hospital offers a four hour full-body medical exam. They take MRIs, do all sorts of tests and only charge about $200.
