Nurse/caretaker

[loosesocks]

Hi,

Does anyone know any info regarding nurse/caretaker in Seoul for post-op patients? Where to hire/are they trusted etc.

I plan to hire one if i did go with v-line and lipo. Getting around and talking and what not would be a hassle.

It would be easier to do a homestay or stay at an airbnb ran by some caring hosts or Korean parents who have empty nest syndrome since there kids moved away.

A word of advice for doing airbnb or homestay is to not mention a clinic's name before your surgery, and if a host is insistent about taking you to the clinic themselves for consultation that's not a good sign. Sometimes they can be doing something know as secret referrals and trying to get a cut of your fees. 

There are really nice places out there though. I will try to dig up some worth exploring, but I am not endorsing them.

Thanks Kino for the advice i'll keep that in mind to not mention clinics to any places I could be staying at.

And yes please. I've been looking at some accomodations along Sinsa area and only dig the review through TA,Booking.com or Agoda. If you know someone that had a pleasant experience with a caring host that would be great info.

Thank you for the post! This is exactly what I need to know too. I’m really concern travel alone & after surgery.

I am looking for one too. However I have contacted one of the clinic in SK and the could find one however they do not know / not sure if the nurse can speak English. I believe you can ask the clinic you are planing to go and ask this question again. I am actually also looking for Travel RN for helping me go through the process.
