Today's theme: Plastic Surgery With the increasing popularity on K-pop across the world, Korea is becoming one of the famous medical tourism destinations, attracting many tourists for medical treatments, including plastic surgeries. And it seems like more and more people are opening up their plastic surgery experiences. We look into the history of plastic surgery here in Korea with experts as well as some of the things you should consider going under the knife. The Conversationalist with Park Ji-young (Jessica Park) - student at Chung Ang University Graduate School Advanced Interpretation & Translation Program who previously worked at a plastic surgery clinic as a translator for foreign medical tourists “There are criticisms that the industry has grown in size but not so much quality-wise. Do you think the patients at your hospital were provided with decent quality in terms of service? Despite all these problems we have discussed, why do you think people still come to Korea for plastic surgery, when there are other options like Thailand?” & Professor John P DiMoia - from Seoul National University, Department of Korean History “I understand you take a historical approach on this matter, looking into the country's modernization and nation-building process and how it incorporates bio-medicine technology. Can you tell us more about how biomedicine technology was used in the post-war era? Your book, Reconstructing Bodies: Biomedicine, Health, and Nation-Building in South Korea Since 1945, explains the concept of ‘Medicine as a Form of “Ordinary Shopping”'. How has receiving medical care become like an ordinary shopping in South Korea, and do you think it's a positive or negative thing?” Media Monster Next week: Free Speech

For a patient choosing among available forms of healing in the medical marketplace of mid-20th century South Korea, the process was akin to shopping. In Reconstructing Bodies: Biomedicine, Health, and Nation-Building in South Korea Since 1945 (Stanford University Press, 2013), John DiMoia explores emergence of that marketplace in the context of a confluence between biomedicine, bodies, and the nation in South Korea since the last half of the 20th century. In a series of case studies that range from quarantine efforts after the arrival of the U.S. Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) to plastic surgery in today’s South Korea, DiMoia traces a number of themes through his history of biomedicine and healing: the gradual transition from German/Japanese academic medicine to American and international models of medicine; a corresponding embracing of diverse forms of bodily intervention; and the ultimate adoption of private models of health care in modern South Korea. We meet several fascinating characters in the course of the narrative, from practitioners of traditional Korean medicine, to groundbreaking vascular surgeons, to men and women whose bodies became the testing grounds for reform in birth control technologies. DiMoia’s account introduces public health practices that included spraying of human bodies with DDT, surgical practices that transformed the spaces and bodies of medicine mid-20th century South Korea, and antiparasitic practices that saw thousands of children bring stool samples to school. It is a rich account of a hybrid medical ecology with moments that would collectively make up a riveting fictional novel if they weren’t all true. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
