Dr. Romantic 2 Ep1: Seo Woo-jin was fired because he was a whistle-blower? Aren’t there any laws in SK for protecting whistle-blowers? In real life the hospital would have ended up in hot water. Even if he resigned this should not have been made public, preventing other hospitals from hiring him.
Yes, there are—no retaliation laws. However, how they are enforced is the problem. In my town, there was a doctor whistleblower of a competing hospital about how some doctors were getting kickbacks for referrals and the hospital actually condoned this. The doctor stayed on at the hospital and nothing illegal happened to her, but the talk and gossip was enough to make her leave.
