On the 6th of this month, a woman in her 90s who was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction at a public hospital designated by Busan City applied for transfer to a university hospital in Busan.
"It's impossible," was the reply. As a result, the woman was taken to Ulsan, about 10 kilometers away, but she missed the prime time and died, according to a South Korean private broadcaster.
The station “KNN” reported. According to the report, the family believes that "the collective actions of the medical community were one of the causes of the woman's death."
One of the bereaved family members told the media, ``He was transferred too late,'' and ``He was treated in Busan.''
"If I had been there, I could have crossed the dangerous mountain, but it took me 50 minutes, with every minute and every second competing." The bereaved family is concerned that the university hospital's emergency center is not working properly.
He reported the incident to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, saying, ``This happened from the beginning,'' but a week later, they received a response saying, ``There is nothing we can do about it.''
This may have been influenced by the medical strike, but it is not illegal.
This appears to mean that no action can be taken against the government.
