Some information about the Korean medicare system:
\nThe word for hospital (\"dum_hsptl.gif<\/a> \/pyung-won\/) is used for both large hospitals–with a number of doctors and equipment–and small clinics run by a doctor.
\nPharmacists can not only sell medicine but also write prescriptions to make medicine. It has been a serious dispute between phrmacists and doctors for a long time. Pharmicists are also allowed to practice some Chinese\/Korean medicine. It is partially because the role of pharmacists had been very crucial (and still is in some regions) from the time they did not have enough doctors.
