"No treatment available at 10 hospitals"...The father left for heaven despite the appeal of his desperate daughter.

What Park's daughter left on social media = Gyeonghang Shinmun

The daughter is complaining of unfairness, saying that her father, who was complaining of abdominal pain, died while looking for a hospital where first aid and surgery are available.

According to the Gyeonghang Shinmun, a 54-year-old Park, who works at the Geoje shipyard in Gyeongsangnam-do on the 5th of last month, suddenly complained of abdominal pain on his way home from work at around 8 p.m.

Park visited a nearby hospital in a colleague's car, received painkillers, and returned home after being diagnosed with no problems.

After returning home, Park's condition deteriorated. Eventually, at 3 a.m., the family called 119 paramedics.

However, it was difficult to find an emergency room that accepted Park. The paramedics requested the transfer of patients to 10 hospitals in the Geoje area and nearby Jinju, Busan, and Changwon, but all were rejected. I searched the hospital for about an hour, but I couldn't find it. Even Hospital A, where Park received painkillers, did not accept Park, saying, "It is impossible to confirm because the doctor who was in charge of the patient is currently absent."

An official from Geoje Fire Station, where the paramedics belong, said, "At that time, 10 hospitals said it was impossible to treat," adding, "We did not give specific reasons." In a hurry, the daughter asked for help from people around her through social networking services (SNS).

At around 4:30 a.m. the next day, I was asked to come to B Hospital in Geoje because I would give you painkillers. At hospital B, Park was tested again and diagnosed with acute peritonitis. The hospital said it needed surgery immediately, but said, "I have no intention of operating."

The emergency director of Hospital B visited the hospital where the surgery was available and called several times for 70 minutes. However, the only answers that came back were "I don't have a doctor" and "I can't do anything for you right now." In the meantime, Park's condition deteriorated rapidly.

At 8 a.m., Park's permission for surgery was dropped from C Hospital in Busan. A private ambulance was called to travel about 64km from Geoje to Busan for an hour and a half, and the surgery could not be performed until 10:30 a.m. It was 14 hours after complaining of abdominal pain and 7 hours after reporting 119. The operation was completed safely, but other organs had already been damaged. Park died of cardiac arrest two days later while on a respiratory system in the intensive care unit.

Park's daughter complained of heartbreak, saying, "My father gradually lost consciousness while wasting time," adding, "I don't know where and how to talk about this injustice."
