emergency-room-beds

Nearby Korean emergency-room lookup backed by E-Gen's public emergency-room search surface.

What it can and cannot report

• It resolves a user-provided location to coordinates, then calls E-Gen's public nearby emergency-room list endpoint.
• It reports distance, hospital category, address, phone, update time, and operation flags such as emergency-room operation and inpatient-bed operation.
• Operation flags are tri-state: true for upstream Y, false for upstream N, and null when E-Gen omits or changes a flag value.
• It does not claim exact real-time remaining bed counts. The public E-Gen nearby list exposes operation flags, not per-hospital remaining bed numbers.
• For emergencies, call 119 or the hospital directly. Public E-Gen/Kakao data can lag, fail, or be incomplete and is not medical advice.
