Medical Diary

Medical care is no longer confined to hospitals. From health supplements and AI- and robot-assisted surgery to drug development, medical strikes, and the growing crisis in essential healthcare, medicine today has become an issue that affects our lives and survival, extending beyond industry, technology, and capital. Medical Diary is a medical documentary in which medical journalist Hong Eun-sim reports from the field, tracking the changes unfolding across the healthcare sector and uncovering the forces behind them. From the human desires driving the health supplement market and the changing role of doctors in the age of AI and robotics, to the evolution of future foods and pharmaceuticals, the structural causes of medical strikes and emergency room crises, and the realities facing essential healthcare as it gradually disappears from the field, the series takes an in-depth look at the healthcare system we live with today and asks one fundamental question: ''What kind of healthcare system are we living in?''
