Another reason for this silence is that, despite their knowledge of hundreds of technical English words, Korean doctors usually do not have the ability to explain themselves in English. Although they may know the name of illnesses or body parts, they may not be able to explain the necessary treatment or give words of reassurance.

The third difference is the injection practice of Korean doctors.
Korean doctors give patients an injection for nearly all illnesses.
