    26.2 Compared to 20 years ago, it seems like only the building has changed — the mindset of the doctors, nurses, and staff hasn't changed at all I'm not even asking for kindness, but I'd like it if they didn't show that bothered look on their faces or that tone of voice I wish even a fraction of the volunteers' attitude showed up in them~~ I've never seen a kind doctor, nurse, or staff member here I've seen plenty of kind janitorial staff and volunteers though 23.07 Phone reservation connection 1. Getting connected to a phone reservation counselor is more delayed than before 2. Once connected: "Sorry for the delay in answering" script (I don't understand who came up with having them say this) They should find the root cause and fix it — I've heard this complaint since earlier this year, it's pathetic Either add more phone-reservation staff or shorten the time it takes to process a reservation 3. When you call to book, what kind of system is it where the counselor has to call the relevant department again themselves to ask and then relay the info back to you? Of course this naturally makes call times even longer 4. Personally, since a lot of the veterans are elderly, call times will naturally run longer than at other hospitals' reservation lines, so shouldn't there be more counselors? 5. Since veterans and their families use the 7-Eleven here, wouldn't it make more sense for it to be run by the Armed Forces Welfare Corps instead of a Japanese-brand store?

    This is the top-tier tertiary hospital of the Veterans Health Service, established to provide medical care for veterans who devoted themselves to the country and their bereaved families. If you have a referral letter, the general public can be treated too, but since the daily number of visitors is so high, I wouldn't recommend it for general care. Every treatment department available in Korea is operating here, and the number of medical staff on duty rivals other major university hospitals in Seoul. However, the number of daily outpatients is quite large, to the point where you'd wonder if there are really that many veterans and bereaved family members eligible for veteran benefits. For veterans-eligible patients needing major treatment like surgery, this hospital is quite advantageous in terms of both medical service and cost.

    Central Veterans Hospital is a hidden gem for EV charging. It's in the indoor parking lot on the 1st floor, so you can charge regardless of rain, cold, or heat. As soon as you go from the parking lot into the hospital there's a restroom right there too,…

    A hospital that calls itself a veterans hospital but is unkind across the board, and any consideration for patient flow or comfort has been thrown out the window. Of course the doctors' and nurses' unkindness and irritable conversations come as a bonus.…

    The staff here, from the doctors to the parking lot attendants, are unkind across the board. Maybe it's because there's not much money in it and there are so many elderly patients, but everyone seems irritable.. Never going back

    This hospital was established for veteran-eligible patients. Of course, general patients can also be treated here. The cafeteria menu is also inexpensive for veterans-eligible patients and their families.

    Very inconvenient, and it's a doctor-centered hospital rather than a patient-centered one
