She was taken to hospital by helicopter 3½ hours after an initial call to emergency services. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.
So I live in South Korea. The medical system here is heavily subsidized and socialized. This makes it very cheap and (mostly) accessible, but the downside is the bureaucracy that comes with that. It is also a very litigious culture, which makes it worse. Doctors here are extremely wary to prescribe anything too strong, and they communicate very little with the patients. It’s just, “Trust me, I’m a doctor.” And of course the neo-confucian mindset is also very strong here, with all the rigid hierarchy that comes with it.
Yeah, Japan is similar to this as well. I’ve had positive experiences all around, but I know some who have not (especially with corona which really worried me for how prepared we are).
I’m just gonna take it as: people are confident in a belief system that is strongly heiarchial, and therefore can just tell you to fuck off.
…Which, to my brief reading of the neo-c and normal-c Wikipedia entries… Feels antithetical to what I read. But a lot of it seems to just explicitly go against Buddhist and Taoist teachings, and I don’t have the patience to read any more old Chinese philosophy in this context to just understand why the doctors would turn somebody pregnant away.
Neo-confucianism is a broad term for a loose collection of philosophical ideas influenced by or based on the writings of Confucius, the Chinese philosopher. It strongly influenced the development of Korean society, and it was the official state ideology at one point. It is still very prevalent, although not always expressed explicitly.
This is such an interesting answer. It’s accurate and very detailed requiring work and research, yet provides absolutely no useful information relevant to the thread and context in which it appears. I’m so curious how it came to be.
Your comment is also lacking in useful information, but with the added flair of entitled condescension.
No one here owes you anything. You’re on the internet. If you want information, look it up yourself instead of whinging on about how someone else didn’t do the job for you.

It refers to Confucianism as it was revived during and after the Song dynasty (성리학). In the case of Korea, it typically refers to the orthodoxy that traces its heritage back to Confucius through Zhuxi, the Cheng brothers, and Mencius.
Also not to be confused with New Confucianism, which is a modern Chinese development of Confucianism.

so like… what do they believe? what IS the ideology? like the actual ideas.

Of course!
Its a question more asking about what neo confucian means here
I’m as clueless as you, and I’m just poking fun at the use of “of course” to mention it in original comment.
