Why We Play the Radio
in Our Operating Room

- Cheonan Branch -

 
Operating room at Trueman Cheonan

The moment you first open the operating room door,
feeling out of place is only natural.

Cold, bright lights and instruments you've never seen before. It would be strange not to feel tense.
Playing the radio in the operating room may seem like a small thing, but there's a reason for it.
One familiar sound can make an unfamiliar space feel a little more comfortable.

Small details can ease big tensions.


Q1

Why Our Entire Staff Is Male

Trueman is a men's specialty clinic. We know how hard it is to voice a man's private concerns out loud. Many of the patients who walk into our consultation room struggle to open up at first.


An all-male staff is a structure designed to lower that barrier.


Only when you can speak honestly, without embarrassment, is an accurate consultation possible —
and only an accurate consultation leads to a good result.


Q2

"Does It Hurt During Surgery?"

It's the question we hear most about surgery under local anesthesia.

Let me answer honestly.

There can be slight pain when the anesthetic is injected.

But after surgery, most patients tell us the same thing.

"Looking at the results, I can't even remember it hurting."

The pain is momentary.

And the daily life that follows is completely different.


Q3

Walking Into the Operating Room Fully Informed

There's a reason we invest so much time in consultations.

Entering the operating room with unanswered questions doubles the tension.

  • The surgical process
  • The anesthesia method
  • The recovery timeline

Patients who come in with a full understanding of all of this are far more at ease during surgery.

It's also why the surgeon personally explains what's happening during the procedure.

"It's the unknown that creates fear."


Inside Trueman Cheonan

A Place That Takes One of Life's Burdens Off Your Shoulders

Many of our patients have carried this concern for years. There's one thing they say most often after surgery.

"I should have done this sooner."

The experience of a lifetime of built-up stress being resolved with a single decision.

Trueman Cheonan will give you that experience.


 

We're easy to reach from Cheonan Station, and parking is never a worry.

Getting here is one burden we can take off your shoulders.
