Ophthalmology hospital in Myongji Hospital, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 31st. Asian-Australian patient Jason (31) smiled satisfactorily. "I wanted to fix it anyway. Now I think I will have confidence."
The accountant, Jason, was easily congested and always worried that his eyes were red. In March, he went to the United States and underwent a so-called 'eye whitening' procedure, which removes some blood vessels from the surface of the eye and makes the pupil white. However, after the surgery, some of my eyes looked so white that I was under great stress. I asked the US doctor who had surgery and only received a reply saying "no problem." I visited some well-known Australian eye doctors, but there was no way to fix them because they weren't special. Jason called the "worst case."
Jason found a paper by Dr. Kwon Ji-won, an ophthalmologist at the hospital that said he could erase the whites of his eyes while searching Google with a frustrating mind. He sent an e-mail to the e-mail address in the paper in May, and after coming back and forth with Mr. Kwon over 50 times, he decided to have surgery and came to Korea. The operation was successful.
Like this, so-called 'Google patients' are coming to Korea for treatment through Google search. As the medical technology of Korean medical staff reaches the world level, patients abroad are searching for Google medical staff by searching Google directly.
In addition to Jason, Kwon Ji-won has visited nearly 10 Google patients from all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Kwon was the first patient to see a paper on the removal of the conjunctival nevus and the ota nevus published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The disease has not been cured so few doctors around the world have tried to cure it.

In 2010, Mr. Bartley, 23, returned after surgery to remove the big spots covering the entire eye. She was desperate to have no cure in Canada. Vietnamese Duong Tian Dao, 22, was searching for treatments around the world. Nowadays, patients from all over the world e-mail Kwon to see if he can be treated in Korea.
In addition to the patients who visit Kwon Ji-won, about 5% of patients overseas are Myungji Hospital. Earlier this year, an American man who suffered from erectile dysfunction was referred to a doctor's thesis by a urologist, Dr. Se-cheol Kim. Yonsei University Severance Hospital is also known that 250 cases of foreign patients with 40,000 people are visiting the hospital by searching the internet. Asan Medical Center in Seoul estimates that the majority of 1681 overseas patients who did not go through the media last year came through Internet searches and rumors. Foreign patients are searching for medical technology through Google, etc., and they are gradually coming to Korea to receive medical treatment. The medical community estimates that about 6% of overseas patients visit a hospital after searching the Internet. The rise of 'Google patients' is also attributed to Korea's medical system, which makes it easy to schedule appointments.
Kwon said, "If we can fix it, we are willing to take a plane to Korea and realize that medical care is a global era."
