Actually, I lived in Canada before, and I know the medical system a little bit. In korea, when someone is sick, we always say "You need to go to hospital" not "You need to see a doctor."
Is it because you have to see a family doctor or go to clinic first instead of going to a big hospital? Why don't they say "you need to go to clinic"?
What exactly does clinic mean? specialist? I always went to a family doctor first, then got a referal and went to a clinic. So I think there seem to be three steps "doctor-clinic-hospital."
