ROK's Unrivaled Top-Notch Medical Practice

Unfortunately my wife has been on the hemo-dialysis treatment for the last 25 years. During the period, the chronic illness caused a lot of difficulties due to complications. However, she has coped well with them.

In the meantime, on May 14, 2019, she had to be urgently admitted to the Kyunghee University Hospital where she has been treated for a quarter century. Through the angiogram, she was found that a coronary artery in which two stents were inserted seven years ago was completely blocked. The attending physician explained that no further stent insertion surgery will be possible , but the only solution will be the coronary artery bypass surgery. And he recommended that she needs to undergo the bypass surgery in the Severance Hospital which is one of the most prestigious university hospitals in South Korea.

Consequently, I, with no choice, took my wife to the Severance Hospital and got her admitted on May 16, 2019 for immediate surgery. After finishing various examinations, heart surgery started at 09:00 Hours on May 21, 2019. She underwent surgery for approximately 3 hours and then moved to the Heart Intensive Care Unit (HICU) where she had to stay for 10 days out of total 16 days of hospital treatment. At last, she was thankfully discharged from the hospital on May 31, 2019.

Hours before the surgery starts, an operating surgeon interviewed my wife and me and explained about the surgery procedure. At the same time we were required to sign on written consents documents. The doctor also emphasized that my wife's case the surgery risk would be relatively higher than that of other patients due to her excessively long hemo-dialysis treatment. Because of the doctor's advice, both of us could not escape from serious anxieties.

However, all the anxieties have become baseless, and my spouse was finally approved by the doctor to leave the hospital. Realizing the peerless technology of the ROK's medical treatment again, I made a deep bow to the doctors and nurses who provided my wife with a miraculous opportunity. On the occasion of the successful surgery, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my kids who have wholeheartedly taken care of their mother and those who have sent a lot of prayers and wishes for the quickest recovery. May my wife's successful surgery add many more years of life and stay with us for many and many years to come!! Thank you all.
