My 19-year-old son had surgery for a deviated septum and nasal tip surgery at a large, well-known plastic surgery hospital in Gangnam. Now his nose has collapsed, the columella has become depressed, and he has difficulty breathing, so today he is undergoing a third surgery at another plastic surgery clinic.
This reality is truly... it makes me cry tears of blood.
On the operating table, my son will once again writhe in pain for the third time, and for more than a year during the treatment process, he will suffer severe emotional trauma.
This hospital has a huge number of reviews and lures young students with cheap promotional events on every cosmetic surgery app. Their compensation for postoperative aftereffects is rage itself.
Far from explaining the exact cause of the surgical side effects, apologizing as doctors, or providing fair compensation for damages, they intimidate us by asking whether we wrote and posted a review and threatening us with defamation charges. They are unbelievably brazen. They do not even comply with the settlement amount mediated by the Consumer Protection Agency. The consumer agency says they do not answer calls well and do not cooperate properly...
This large hospital, overflowing with foreign patients and with many doctors, has no patient rights when it comes to compensating surgical harm.
In our country, which prides itself on high civic awareness and being an IT powerhouse with strong communities, how can there be a response to medical malpractice that is worse than that of underdeveloped countries?
I intend to keep exposing the reality of this hospital. So that victims like my son will not continue to appear.
