Similarly,\u00a0many of Suwon&#8217;s older\u00a0residents have yet to catch on to\u00a0the\u00a0Queen&#8217;s English. This wasn&#8217;t usually a problem, however, since, like\u00a0a lot of Wei-guk-in, I found that I could get by with\u00a0hand gestures\u00a0and non-threatening smiles. The shortcomings of this\u00a0approach became all too apparent one day when I tried to apply it to the Korean medical system.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43920\" style=\"width: 259px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43920\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43920\" alt=\"korean-nurse\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/korean-nurse-249x300.jpg\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/korean-nurse-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/korean-nurse.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">That was the wrong time to smile and nod.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">My employers\u00a0had\u00a0a\u00a0curious\u00a0attitude when it came to\u00a0illness.\u00a0Taking the day off from work\u00a0was frowned upon,\u00a0but I was\u00a0encouraged to go to the hospital for any and all ailments. And so it was that I found myself in a doctor&#8217;s office\u00a0attempting to explain my flu-like symptoms via pantomime. The physician was clearly\u00a0putting a solid effort into trying to understand me,\u00a0but\u00a0judging by\u00a0his frown and repeated head-shakes, I\u00a0could tell\u00a0that my improv skills just weren&#8217;t\u00a0getting the job done. Thankfully, we weren&#8217;t alone in this endeavor, as three nurses\u00a0had been summoned to help translate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After some back-and-forth, it appeared that a diagnosis had been reached and\u00a0I was to get a prescription. The nurses\u00a0each\u00a0repeated the number &#8220;four&#8221;\u00a0and motioned as if they were swallowing pills,\u00a0which I took\u00a0to mean that I should ingest four of whatever it was that\u00a0they were giving me. The pharmacist seemed to confirm these instructions, so I promptly went home and popped four unknown pills before walking\u00a0out to the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Later, I discovered that\u00a0&#8220;four&#8221;\u00a0actually\u00a0referred to\u00a0the number of days that\u00a0my prescription was to last.\u00a0I\u00a0also\u00a0found out\u00a0what the pills\u00a0contained: codeine. Lots of codeine.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0began to suspect that something was amiss\u00a0when my feet\u00a0started getting\u00a0lighter. This was followed by an\u00a0oddly\u00a0euphoric sensation.\u00a0I&#8217;m also pretty sure that\u00a0I was developing the glassy-eyed look of someone who&#8217;s had one too many bottles of soju. Inside, however, I was\u00a0beginning to fear that I had overdosed on the wrong prescription and was now\u00a0about to drop dead on\u00a0a random street corner in East Asia.\u00a0The fact that I had yet to\u00a0acquire a\u00a0phone and thus had no means of calling for help wasn&#8217;t exactly comforting, either. These\u00a0feelings\u00a0all congealed into sort of a slow-motion panic.\u00a0It was a feeling of terror, but I was feeling it through a warm, dopey haze.<\/p>\n<p>The point of this story isn&#8217;t to glamorize drug use, for indeed, there is\u00a0nothing glamorous about a stoned, panicky white person stumbling down a Korean sidewalk. Rather, it is to illustrate how getting the\u00a0facts wrong can lead to a confused outcome. That principle isn&#8217;t limited to prescription drugs; it applies to the the abortion debate, too.<\/p>\n<p>As anyone who has been involved with the pro-life movement knows, we tend to attract hateful comments. Some are old standbys, such as &#8220;Your mom should have aborted you.&#8221;\u00a0These words are invariably sneered out\u00a0with a look of smug satisfaction, as if the speaker is somehow\u00a0convinced that he or she is the first one\u00a0clever enough to think of them. There is\u00a0something\u00a0almost adorable about\u00a0this level of\u00a0na\u00efve cluelessness. It&#8217;s like listening to\u00a0a small child who seems to\u00a0think\u00a0that\u00a0learning to use\u00a0the toilet without assistance\u00a0has transformed him\u00a0into a\u00a0veritable god among men.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43922\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/potty-training.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43922\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43922\" alt=\"potty-training\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/potty-training.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-43922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Other times it&#8217;s not entirely clear if a negative comment is really motivated by blind hatred or if the speaker is just confused.
