In America they would take appendicitis seriously and take you in ASAP.
With all the problems the US health care system has there's one thing to remember. You cannot be denied medical care based on your ability or inability to pay. That is a federal law.
My brother dropped me off at the emergency room. The guard put me immediately in a wheelchair and took me to the sign in desk. I gave some vague symptoms of pain and loss of appetite. Said I just wasn't feeling too well. I told them I had no insurance. They took me immediately to the back and had me change into a hospital gown put me in a bed, brought me heated warming blankets and said they would get me something for the pain. Hooked me up to an iv and the pain meds came right away. Also worked right away. Within ten minutes I was given an MRI. Shortly after the surgeon and three of her associates were at my bedside, said it was appendicitis and they were going to take good care of me. The social worker came next and signed me up for Medicaid. The next thing I remember was waking up in ICU and three days had past. My appendix had burst and if I had come in an hour later I would not have lived. I was in the hospital for one month six days of which was in ICU. When I got home I needed home nursing. Medicaid paid 100% of the bill. Not one cent out of pocket. Oh - and when I first arrived and the whisked off to treatment, the nurse said they were so glad that I came in. Could not have asked for better treatment. Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan was incredible.
No health care is free.
I'm in the US and there is a reason Canadians come here for medical care😂😂😂
In the USA he would have had an X-ray and Ultra Sound or MRI of his abdominal section to rule out anything while in Emergency.
I live in a state that borders Canada, our hospitals are filled with Canadians that dont want to wait months for their FREE treatments in Canada.
I went to the ER with a kidney stone and was seen in five minutes. 🇺🇸
Gotta have the right insurance. I had a Liver Transplant at the top Hospital in SoCal, I paid zero, squat, nadda, 1.5 million charged to the insurance company.
Let me paint a picture of my typical experience with American hospitals. In April, I rushed my Step mother to the hospital with extreme abdominal pain. She was 85 years old. She was left in the waiting room for over 5 hours screaming and crying in pain. She was passing out and falling out of the wheelchair she was in. This is a woman who was stronger than anyone I've ever met. She had an extremely high tolerance for pain. She was literally screaming for someone to help her. They would give her nothing for pain. It was so bad that the other people in the waiting room kept telling me I should be videoing this and sue the hospital. We'll, Sadly to say, she died on May 1st. This situation seems to be the norm in hospitals here, at least in my experience. The healthcare system in the US is just broken. It's sad, inhumane and completely unacceptable.
One of my neighbors was a doctor from the UK. He told me about his brother in Ireland with a heart problem. He said in America surgery would be within two weeks. It took over a year there. Luckily he was still alive.
I had Stage IV Esophageal Cancer during the summer of '07. I was 57 years old. In America, you choose health insurance, or no insurance. I chose to have insurance. My place of work pays a percentage of the premiums, I pay the balance.
This is my experience in ths US. A few years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the bathroom thinking it was just needing to go, but the pain did not go away. Finally, in the morning, I asked my wife to take me to the ER. This was Christmas day. She dropped me off at the front of thd ER and went to park the car. By the time she came in, 2-3 minutes later I was already in an examining room being seen by a Dr. I was given medication and setup with an IV. Within 10-15 minutes I was being wheeled to get an MRI. didn't take long for the results of the MRI to show I had kidney stones. I was prescribed pain medication and medication that relaxes you "plumbing " to make it easier to pass the stones. In a couple of days, it was over. My insurance paid most of the ER bill, except my deductible, which was around $100.
I live in a city with a population of around 250,000. We have five major hospitals, and if I go to the ER, the wait is typically about 10 minutes. For something serious like appendicitis, I’d be seen immediately. When my brother broke his hand, he only waited 8 minutes.
When I had my appendix out in the US, I went to the ER. I was so bad I was vomiting from the pain. They took me back in 20 minute. The doctor saw me and gave me pain medication in my IV. After another 30 minutes I had a CT scan that confirmed that my appendix was bad. I was taken to the operating room about 90 minutes after I arrived at the hospital. My bill for the ER, surgery and the night stay in the hospital was $300.
I am an American who has just moved back to the US after 3 years living in the UK. In the UK I never met my GP (primary care physician) in person and spoke to him exactly twice on the phone in the 3 years I lived there. I have several health issues. My UK GP referred me to a specialty clinic. It took exactly 2 years from the time of the referral (August 2021) until I had my first appointment with the specialist (August 2023).
Crazy how this dude waited 5 hours when he could've been dying, didn't even find out what he had, and still shits on the US healthcare system and says that the NHS is great...
My husband was diagnosed with leukemia in June 2006. He went through chemo several times. Leukemia came back 4 times (chemo all those times). He was in the hospital one time for 3 weeks and went into remission. He then went to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, and was there in the hospital for 4 months. He had a bone marrow transplant (one of his sisters was a donor). He died in May 2007. The total cost of his medical bills was nearly $400,000.00. Our out-of-pocket cost was about $900.00. Thank goodness for the great insurance his job provided. Thanks to all his friends who raised money for our (me and the youngest 2 children) apartment in Baltimore.
The thing that is great about American ER's is that most of them have a pretty good triage unit, and they send people back according to the severity of their symptoms.
My local hospital ER (NY) takes you to triage almost immediately and you're in an exam room being seen by a nurse within 10 minutes. My BF is English and he was very impressed with how quickly he was seen to. The nurse's uniforms were weird to him. They wore colored scrubs instead of the white uniforms. Also was surprised hospital and ambulances are privately owned not government.
