As a retired military doctor, it literally made me cry when she said, "I could've saved more lives if I was born in a better country." For a nurse, doctor, or other medical professional, every life lost is a tragedy but I can honestly say I never lost anyone because we didn't have the equipment or supplies to save them. My heart goes out to her. I would be proud to work side-by-side with her.

[panzerwolf]

God, the way she explained that it sounds like they have the same medical capacity as the US did during the civil war in 1860

[cathyhellen]

Her last statements. Just because l was born in North Korea. A lesson to be learned. I was lucky enough to have been born in the USA, l had nothing to do with it. Just as she had nothing to do with being born in North Korea. She is a strong caring person, not someone to be vilified because of the nation in which she was born.

[tuckenroll]

She obviously cares about saving the lives of everyone on an ANY side. She has the spirit of a healer and a medic. Therefore, I thank her for her service even if that service was on the North Korean side for awhile. She's earned my respect. She's the North Korean Hawkeye Pierce.

[ericlanglois]

When she described how soldiers that get shot would probably die, the first thing that came to my mind as a Canadian soldier is that our own medical teams would treat those wounded as though they were our own and I know many of our allies would do the same so if there was a war, the North Korean soldiers would have a better chance of living by being captured by the enemy than being "rescued" by their own people. Sad state of affairs.

15 years of my time in the Army were spent as a Medic. Part of my training included a room with strobe lights, a fog machine, & battle sounds blasting so loud you have to scream to be heard. Our "patients" were animatronics that breathe, bleed, have reactive pupils, etc. You have to properly apply pressure on arteries to slow bleeding, breathing responds to interventions. You get covered in phony blood. It's fairly intense. I can't imagine living in the hell scape this poor lady survived.

[leeswhimsy]

Wow. You are a true NURSE, from your heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I think that she needs to react to Desmond Doss, Conscientious Objector meaning that he didn't carry a weapon. Doss served in WWII in the Pacific as a medic. Doss went thru hell in Basic Training.
Army was going to kicked him from service, but Top Brass at the War Department prior The Pentagon ruled he can stay in the Army and he can't violated his beliefs by carrying a weapon. Doss single handled saving 75 of his comrades during a battle at Hacksaw Ridge earning Doss Congressional Medal of Honor. Doss lived to be 87 in 2006. She would be in shocked of his actions.

Ahn Hye jung - from America, I would like to thank you for the service you gave to your country and your people. Although you were forced into service, you still did it. You protected your country and your people. In America it does not matter if we have a medical team available or not, American's will NOT leave an injured solder on the field. We will not leave a Military situation until we have every person, dead or alive, injured or not. We have always been this way. We will, under heavy gun fire, drag or carry an injured solder out. you will see 2, 3 or 4 American solders go back into gun-fire to bring back their Brothers or Sisters... oh and they volunteer to run back into direct gun-fire, they will risk their own safety to save one of their own. All American Military is this way, Land, Sea and Air.

At the end, when you said you could have saved more lives had you been born in a better country, my first response is, how many of the lives you saved, wouldn't have been save if you weren't there.

Limited resources, limit results, but sometimes it is the dedication of the caregiver that makes all the difference.

When a nation stockpiles ammunition over medicin you know the leaderships priorities

What I heard here is the North Korean medical staff, like their counterparts in the rest of Asia and in the West, all want to do the best they can for their patients. But the resource limits they have makes actually helping their patients very difficult. I'm glad to know that at least at the point of care the people of North Korea still value each other - regardless of how the regime might view them and how "expendable" any individual might be...

[katelinstorey]

She's got my respect. I'm glade she mange to get somewhere safe.

[guygirard]

Everytime I see you sharing your experiences, it put tears in my eyes, thanks for sharing all this with us

[nodishtoodeep]

My best friend went into the military as an airborne medic, he’s been there for five years now and apparently he is equivalent to a surgical assistant. He’s holding off on getting his masters degree to become a full fledged trauma surgeon in retirement.

[marcuswright]

I was sad to hear her say she could have saved more people if she was born in a better country North Korea is a great beautiful country just not the right government if anyone that left North Korea ever saw this I'd say you should be proud of were you are from and I hope things get better there soon

[redacted]

Your memory of riding in the back of the truck made me sit very still. I hope you’re able to sleep well and eat delicious things. Stay safe.

Discovered this channel yesterday. Ive watched the better part of a dozen vids so far. Seeing these ppl and hearing their stories not only makes me 10 fold more grateful to live in America and the things I tend to take granted for daily, but even more so sympathetic for the majority of North Koreans. We have amazing healthcare, free svcs all across the board, access to any and everything. Shit, id say the homeless (which i was for a long time) have better food, free healthcare and phones/internet and a long list of many other things... whatever...food, clothing, shelters. Even some places provide clean needles if ur an addict. Please L-rd help all of those suffering and bathe them in your light.

We appreciate your experience and sharing your life in NK. From Philippines ❤️
God gives us freedom to choose whether good or evil, but He can judge us when the time has come.

I like and respect this woman. You can tell she has much compassion in her heart. Remember no matter who your enemy is always show respect and compassion for their medical team and the wounded combatants.
