At the Hospital / ER

annyeonghaseyo, jigeum eunggeupsire jillyoreul baro jeopsuharyeogo haneundeyo.

Hello, I would like to register for treatment at the ER right now.

Use 해요체 (neutral) when addressing hospital staff as a patient.

eotteoke osyeotseumnikka? eodiga gajang apaseo osyeosseoyo?

What brings you here? Where does it hurt the most?

Staff will often use formal 합쇼체 (-습니다) combined with 해요체 (-요).

eodiga bulpyeonhasinji jeoege jeonghakhi malsseumhae jusigesseoyo?

Could you tell me exactly where you are uncomfortable?

A slightly softer, polite way for medical staff to ask about your condition.

eojetbambuteo yeori nago gapjagi sumswigiga himdeureoseo wasseoyo.

I came because I've had a fever since last night and suddenly it's hard to breathe.

meoriga neomu apeugo eojireowoseo ttokbaro seo isseul suga eopseo.

My head hurts so much and I'm dizzy, so I can't stand straight.

Only use this casual 반말 form with family or close friends accompanying you.

hwanjabun, jeopsureul wihae sinbunjeungina geongangboheomjeungeul meonjeo jusigesseumnikka?

Patient, could you give me your ID or health insurance card first for registration?

You usually need to present an alien registration card or passport if you don't have local insurance.

Yes, my ID and insurance card from my wallet are here.

If I register now, how long will the wait time be until I can get treatment?

saram neomu maneunde uri yeogiseo eolmana deo gidaryeoya dwae?

There are so many people, how much longer do we have to wait here?

A casual complaint to a companion; do not say this directly to hospital staff.

eunggeup hwanjaga manaseo choeso han siganeun bakkeseo gidarisyeoya hamnida.

There are many emergency patients, so you must wait outside for at least an hour.

piga neomu mani naneunde uisa seonsaengnimeul meonjeo bol su isseulkkayo?

I am bleeding too much, can I see a doctor first?

Use this to explain an urgent situation to the triage nurse.

If your registration is all done, please wait in the emergency waiting room inside over there.

I need to take an X-ray first, please let me know exactly where I have to go.
