- Today we share our unexpected surgery at Gleneagles Hospital review. This was done in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We go over the overseas retirement healthcare costs and insurance information that we found out during this visit. We came to Malaysia to do our health screenings and to take care of a couple things. It turned into much more when one of the doctors found something that needed to be taken care of immediately. This is our story of what happened and our experience in Malaysia.

I am from Malaysia . I am a doctor and when I was in the UK, I wanted to fill up on my medication for hypertension and had to see a GP for it. The appointment was for 10 days after and I was in Malaysia by the time of the appointment. In Malaysia the process is easy. Just go to any doctor and he will give you a BP check and prescribe the medication which you can collect from the same clinic. The system here is so efficient.
They need more doctors in UK, can’t just keep having mentality of “be whoever you want”
I am not a doctor but I realise that 🤭
After that u will end up wt new sicknesses
It sounds like you were taken care of at Utopia General. Problem is Utopia does not exist. Healthcare like you described is not available in most of the world and I would wonder what the average cost is to people that live there and what the economy is like to allow for inexpensive medical care. I suspect this is not the case for everyone and that cost is probably a lot for the people that live there. No one should assume that they will have an experience like yours.
@@minimalistknitter Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan all have similar affordable healthcare. So if we based on these countries, rest of the world are doing very poorly
I realized that Malaysian were pretty chilled and laid-back when done something but in terms of medical,they were the fastest people ever. My friend was involved an accident before this in Penang. He was admitted to government hospital. The way they handled the emergency was crazy fast. They only charged him overall about 22usd only! The ambulance totally free too!
That's incredible
so bless living in my belove country 😊
True story, I had flashes in my vision and I asked a Doctor friend should I worry about it. She recommended an eye specialist hospital which I went to. The specialist found a big problem with my eye. That afternoon the surgery was completed and the insurance sorted out.
Wow just WOW!!!❤
Yup, in Malaysia u don't need to sacrifice an arm and a leg just to call an ambulance
I was traveling in Malaysia, and I had to have an emergency heart surgery after I was told I had a week to live and my surgeon was amazing. And I did not have insurance and the cost was under 8 thousand dollars, though this was some years ago, prices probably have changed with that said the healthcare was amazing. I recommend University Malaysia Specialty Center just a great hospital, amazing staff and fabulous doctors.
An added point, a reminder that I was aware of and did not add that all the doctors at this hospital are in fact professors in their fields and so you are getting the best of the best.
Universiti Malaya I think 😊
@@en.mohammadnizamuddinbinab9688, in English that is how it appears on the internet and that is what appears on my card UMSC and or University Malaysia Specialists Center.
Again, I cannot say enough good things about the hospitals' staff and doctors the best and they saved my life. I am forever indebted to them and all that supported me and my child who was traveling with me at that time.
The doctors in UMSC are professors of university
It really depends on which doctor you see. Most of them are really great however there are times where the doctors at UM Hospital have turned a patients surgery into a sort of lecture/case study. It has happened to a few family members I know. The doctors pressured them into doing surgery as quick as possible and they died during the procedures.
@@RaijinKaze, I am sorry to hear that. All I can say from start to the hospital staff who made my booking for my child who was my reason for being at the hospital and to where it turned out it was me who need the medical help. Truly, I am sorry to hear of the loss in your family.
Glad that you're both doing well! I had a similar experience in Kuala Lumpur. I had arranged for a health screening online with Prince Court Medical Center. My screening was very much like what you outlined in the video...in and out in just 6 hours with everything completed and a discussion with a doctor about the results. An issue discovered during the screening ended up becoming more serious a couple weeks after the screening which then required surgery. The surgery and hospital experience was top-notch. Everyone was so attentive, kind and professional. I never once had reservations about having surgery done in another country. I also had IMG and, like for you, they said they couldn't cover the surgery. But it was a reasonable price that I was fine to pay for out of pocket. The quality and efficiency of health care in Malaysia is amazing. I plan to return to KL annually for my health screening, as it includes so many more things than I would ever get with a normal physical back in the US. And KL will now be my health care location for Southeast Asia.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for your good experience in Malaysia Healthcare
There are about 135 hospitals (both private and government hospitals) not including clinics of specialists for skin, ENT etc.
The majority locals arent likely able to afford the private hospitals unless they have insurance covering or covered by their employer's healthcare term. This is one reason for the quick attention you got.
And of course they were being professionals too.
There are also foreigners from China Hong Kong Taiwan India and Indonesia (I believe Singaporeans as well) coming to Malaysia for medical trip - the reason for that international patient lounge.
Prince Court is like the Rolls Royce of Hospitals in Malaysia, if you go to SJMC or Asunta, its gonna be a lot more value for your money.
Thank you for being a sport. Am a Malaysian
Malaysia has the best healthcare in the world. Both private and public
Obsoletely right. We very bless to have. one of the best health care in the world in term time and affordability.
Affordability yes but not effectiveness. In 1990s it's top bec there was still value for meritocracy . Not now. People who not good in maths and English neither attitudes are pushed to become doctors. The Apatheid system has degraded the quality once held by this country.
@@anakmalaysia9403what dumb generalization. You know how competetive it is to enter med school in Malaysia irrespective of race. If you’re not flat A and 4.0 CGPA they won’t even offer you a place because they’re so many talented students from all races. Don’t be salty
I am a expat in Malaysia and i was surprised how good it is. Thank Malaysia !
Hahaha kaum tu tak habis2 apartheid. Maksud apartheid pun tak tahu. Google pun dah tau
I am in awe of your ability to discuss something as personal and private as a surgery, and pull it off as though you are talking with friends you have known for years. Your willingness to share your life experiences openly and honestly is impressive and greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate your comment!
I agree, that is what I love about them and what sets them apiary from the other couple traveling TH-camrs. The video where they shared how much they are making from TH-cam just says it all. They deserve all the joy and success for this dedication to help others learn in every detail possible these different aspects of traveling abroad. Just marvelous really. And a blessing.
I wanted to do an ultrasound in Singapore that would charge me SGD1600 (around RM5400) but finally went to a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur for the very same ultrasound and was charged RM250 only . Mindblown 🤯
The doctor said that Malaysia is one of the countries that has the best medical facilities with experts and offers the price of a third world country.
Wow, amazing!
@@GroundedLifeFinancesmany indonesian also get a flight to malaysia to get a medical
We paid RM1 or nothing onwards for health screening and before lunchtime we got our results and some medicines for free. 🎉❤ Malaysian doctors and nurses ❤🎉
nice,,,,which hospital was that?
For expat retirees, Malaysia’s cheap medical cost is something worth to consider. Old age requires a lot more care on health. So, it make sense many are retiring in Malaysia, when they need to stretch their retirement dollars.
what stretch the MM2H visa is now unaccessable unless your name is Musk
congratulations that your retirement income is over $10K /month
@@nikkster01 wow! That really is a ‘stretch’! Not many people earns 10k per month, let alone drawing on retirement fund.
Malaysia is known for it's Medical Tourism. Most hospitals provide logistic services at the airport for foreign patients
I'm so glad you are both healthy and had a positive experience. Healthcare in USA is awful right now. So sad.
You said it! Not thorough, not careful, not easy, not anything desirable. They’ll kill you from neglect, and their educations are defective, and the “business” model run by finance is worse than defective. Never leave anyone in a hospital alone, never, not anytime. Then you can watch the neglect, and catch unsound practices, in real time. The 21st Century U.S. is a dangerous place to need care. I’ve personally experienced incompetence and actual plotting to make extra money off my and family member’s bodies. Thank God I was able to prevent us from being bad statistics (the kind they sweep under the rug, because you sign your rights away the moment you enter).
Thanks a lot Supreme Court! We’re just a commodity known as “consumers” for predatory practices, not citizens with rights.🎯
Interesting about our medical fee, most of the doctor charges are highly regulated. Known as 13th schedule of fee under Malaysia Medical Association. That is why it can be consider affordable to expat and most tourist. Even if you have insurance, it will be quite cheap too.
The fee ranging from doctor consultation to MRI charges are regulated. So quite hard for the doctor/hospital administrator to overcharged. I believe the cost for the in USA may increase many times fold. Ambulance also quite cheap as it can be ranging as low as around USD 30 (depending on the distance from place you are taken to the hospital).
As medical tourism in Malaysia, we are one of the best that you can find.
Ever hear of someone getting like a spinal procedure?
@@PamandLarry yes. Daily basis as I am medical claim adjudicator.
I had 2 surgeries out of the country and was amazed on the care I was given and how nice the hospitals were like a hotel with anything you needed and yes not to mention the price, its crazy how other countries have better healthcare than the states..
Not really. It's more just that America's healthcare is terrible.
3rd world?LOL..the audacity
@@pm2886People who have never been outside the US have no idea how poor and expensive American healthcare really is.
@@pm2886 It all depends on one's income & location. When people travel, they fail to understand what the local income is and how it is expensive for locals. For example, in Mexico City the average income for nurses is about $1,000/month. If one lives in Mexico City a decent one bedroom costs around $500/month or 50% of one's income.
In my area of California, the average income of nurses is over 100k/year. One of my clients 8 year ago was a nurse, made 120k a year. Average 1 bedroom rents in my area are around $2800/month, so rents are about 30% of one person's salary.
I have a home in Central America, the conditions in public hospitals are more akin to prison hospitals. There are 8 people to a room, one gets 1 blanket, food is terrible, so locals have to bring in food for their families.
Why don't you google Indi Gregory,England and get a Real look at what socialized medicine is really about.If you don't like your us healthcare options,lucky for you it's a free country,you may leave,or work at a company with plans you approve of.
We are expats in KL as well, having lived here for the last 5 years. Yes, healthcare here is excellent, it’s efficient, it’s at reasonable costs. But be aware, when you visit the private hospitals and clinics, they do aim to make money on you. As a colleague of mine put it: ‘the moment you walk into the clinic, they will want to cut you up’. Probably a bit crude, but there is some truth in that. Always ask for a second opinion, when the diagnosis is treatment. I have been there as well, went to Pantai Hospital for kidney issues and was advised to have a surgery. Second opinion in Gleneagles told me that medicines were more effective and no surgery was needed. 2 years later and I am totally fine. So always be aware and critical of any first diagnosis. Other than that, to me SE Asia, being Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are among the best healthcare destinations.
Oh yeah, private hospitals are like that. Government hospitals usually will take care of you better BUT they won't ward you until they really have to. And mostly are by appointment only.
Pantai is famous for doing more than necessary.. Columbia is cheaper
Some private hospital doctor is unethical in doing their job. Greedy and looking for our money and suggesting unnecessary procedure. Some are very good. It is better for the patient to get a second opinion from another doctor from another hospital as well
Thank you
Why do Americans tolerate the blatantly poor system we have? Glad you got excellent care and service handled in an intelligent manner.
I wonder about this too, especially every time i read about Americans deciding to prepare for their demise should they require something that is incredibly trivial and doable (to other countries) such as ambulance ride, resuscitation, or even insulin! The first two is free in Malaysia, and the last one is secured with RM1 at government's hospital, for three months supply at a time, too. Can't fathom how any of you can accept this especially knowing your tax dollars are spent on funding genocides and someone else's wars for decades already instead of being used to keep own citizens alive especially by simple means.
Happy that your surgery went well. We were in Malaysia for almost 3 months touring around, trying to get a feel of the place if we chose to retire there. My wife wasn’t feeling well, so we went to the emergency room in Sabah, by the way and it happened to be a Gleneagles hospital. They didn’t find anything wrong but, we didn’t do a full check up since we were headed back to KL, the cost for that visit was MYR$293 which is about $63. Went to Pantai in KL and they did a full heart screening, that was a walk in and they did everything right after talking to the doctor. That visit was MYR$888, about $188, everything turned out fine.
As a side note, for the past couple of years, we have had our checkup done in Mongolia, my wife is Mongolian and we spend the summer months there. It’s roughly $600 or maybe less for full screenings with cancer screening as well. She broke her ankle in the US and that was $15K, we were responsible for 20%. Months after we thought all that was over, we get a bill from some out of state doctor that said he performed a video consultation while she was in surgery, saying we needed to pay it as the insurance didn’t cover it. Talked to them and the insurance company advised me not to pay it and send them the bill as the doctor’s office wanted more than what it costs for that service. They denied it and that was the last we heard from them. US health care is expensive and it doesn’t have to be. Malaysia is fast becoming a place for medical tourism, Thailand is also well known for this. I like both places and spend a few months in each.
So glad that you are well after surgery. It’s amazing how efficient and inexpensive goods and services are outside the U.S.
Thank you, yes it is!
Important question is have you had any check up in US before growing 6 inches????!!! It’s a normal hospital procedure in many countries, MAY BE United States over depending on medical insurance here, over testing, over medication, over surgeries such as knee replacement, hips replacement , even over weight…….
Just as an added comment.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) is actually promoting 1) Health Tourism; and 2) Education in Malaysia ( this is a JV effort with the Ministry of Higher Education)
Bcos for the international community (with higher currency compared to RM) healthcare and education is still very affordable in Malaysia.
Also for foreigners wanting to settle in Malaysia, the MM2H Program (Malaysia my Second Home) is available. This is a program under MOTAC and The Home Ministry (KDN)
Happy to hear that you're both well and healthy. It's always a scare to have health issues in a foreign country. Gleneagles Hospital reputation is superb. My mum had her quadruple bypass surgery in the branch in Singapore in the 90s. They were amazing. Here's toasting to your health and looking forward to your adventures in the new year. Enjoy a warm Thanksgiving in Malaysia! I miss that country.
Thanks for sharing!
@@GroundedLifeFinances You can try the government hospital. It's much
cheaper and you do have to wait a bit.
I'm glad that the surgery went well, and thanks for sharing the story. Me and my husband are just thinking about getting health screening in Malaysia. So this video was very helpful.
It's worth it!
Great review...
I'm an expat living in Malaysia (Penang) for years. Both my wife (local) use Gleneagles and have had nothing but great experiences with them from Annual health screens to invasive procedures. Re your problems for your Health Screening appointment I usually make my appointments online and I haven't experienced any difficulties and they have always responded quickly. There are also other great hospitals here such as Island Hospital and Georgetown Specialist Hospital, amongst others.
Thanks for sharing your experiences
I’m seeking possible scoliosis surgery… may I ask if your “invasive” surgery was that serious? If so, did you feel 100% confident?
I’m tired of US road blocks!
Top countries for medical tourism
1. Malaysia
2. France
3. Thailand
Thailand is for “other” kind of medical tourism
Thank you for sharing
@@pressurexzwhat do you mean “other”? I only ask because I am considering a complicated procedure.
How about Taiwan’s medical care for expats? Anyone knows?
@@walkthroughhome7265 not sure about taiwan
Thank you for sharing/highlighting the positives about your medical experience in Malaysia. Am a proudly Malaysian. Am living out of Malaysia since the past 20 years but I'll come back to Malaysia for anything medical.
😂 absolutely. I can't see myself being warded anywhere else but my home country Malaysia. I survived an Aussie hospital and quickly got back to Malaysia to get a second opinion.😊
We spent over a month in KL and several weeks in Penang and loved our time there. Can't wait to go back. Glad you had great medical care there. I wish we could do the same here in the US.
It's a great place!
Oldfart😂
Amazing! Glad everything worked out Allie! It bogle's the mind that US healthcare is so inefficient and ridiculously costly! Thank you for all the good pointers!
Thanks!
A large percentage of the cost in the US is malpractice insurance in the US. Even if a doctor has never had any claims, its a huge cost for their practice. Years ago I had a friend go to Costa Rica for elective surgery, she died there from the operation. There was no compensation for her family, in the USA the family would have received millions of dollars. For these generous payouts, the cost is reflected in other's bills. As is often said, there is no free lunch.
Malaysia has excellent medical facilities and it costs a fraction on hospitalisation compared to other countries like Singapore
I’d like to argue that. Singapore’s healthcare is fabulously efficient and effective and at the same time like Malaysia and Thailand at a fraction of the costs in most European countries or US. Not much difference between the 3 SE Asia countries really.
@@EGO0808
Really? Don't think so. Rich INDONESIANS ( almost 1 million per year ) would rather go to Malaysia than Singapore.🤔🤔
@@amiryazidali7659 yepp, Malaysia is def cheaper in terms of medical expenses.
@@amiryazidali7659 Quite impressive that you seem to know that 1 million rich Indonesians visit Malaysia for their healthcare. Better inform yourself, before you make such irrelevant statements.
@@EGO0808 I heard President Jokowi said while opening a medical centre . HE stated clearly that almost ONE million Indonesia went to Malaysia every year for medical treatment. I LIED then if Jokowi lied.
Heard lots of horrible stories of people dying due to time delay in Canadian healthcare. Definitely going to Malaysia for healthcare if we need
I remember a story 60 minutes did about international hospitals a long time ago. The standard of care was so much better and the patient to staff ratio was higher. The hospital I go to a few times a year is starting to feel like they want to rush me out of there. The doctors don't spend near as much time with patients like they spent with you.
Prince Court Medical Center in KL is also excellent. Beats my US care provider by a country mile. You come away wondering why US prices are so obscenely high...criminally high.
Just discovered your channel. Amazing story about the health care in Malaysia. Also, thank you for sharing your experience. Glad all went well.
Thank you and welcome
It's the same in Australia..I can get a doctors appointment within a day, hospital in a week, particularly with insurance. I love our free medical system.
You are very blessed.
Glad you were happy and healthy from this Malaysian healthcare experience.
Thanks!
So glad everything went well. When I went to Iceland, on my 2nd night I ended up going to the hospital by EMS. It ended up being a kidney stone. The EMS ride was over 2 hours back to a hospital, they did an EKG because I have A-fib, bloodwork then a CT scan. I passed the stone a little later. My full bill including the EMS was $600.00. I know that is cheaper than the US because I worked in a hospital. My taxi ride back to my tour good was almost as much as my hospital bill. This was in one of the most expensive countries to travel to or live in. I was amazed at how cheap it was. The staff and the EMS person was so very nice and helpful. The RN in the hospital negotiated down the cost of my taxi ride so I would have to pay full rate. They were wonderful at a time that I was so nervous and scared. Good to see you back up and doing well.
Malaysia is the best place to be living and raise children. Moving from America was the best decision we made for our children seeing them going to school were real education are being taught is obsoletely amazing our healthcare insurance is about 1400$ yearly for family of 5 compare to paying $550 biweekly in the states I can’t be thankful enough Thank you Malaysia 🙏🙏🥰
You got wonderful, professional and affordable healthcare - good work!
Colleague's 80 year old mother had knee replacement recently - in and out of hospital same day.
Sounds like Malaysia IS the greatest country in the world for health care😂
Hey,USA, try this system out!!!
Maybe one of the best in the world. Myself as Malaysian, we only need to pay only RM1.00 = USD0.25 if we go to the government health facilities. To meet the doctor plus the medicine. For the sickness like flu, fever, even for hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol.
I should said *Yess* n its the best for us in Malaysia.Government employees are free of charge n RM 1 for Malaysian citizen.So is the dentistry.That are the world best for us with complete , modern equiqments , comfortable free of charge hospital services n in did its a luxury for us For those who had been in US , comparing the expensives expenses for health care,as Malaysian are really bless for our health facilities.Alhamdulillah.
It's a lot cheaper if you are local.
In Malaysia government hospitals locals only paid RM 1 for entry fees and less than RM 20 for normal baby delivery.
RM 20? Betul ke? Aku rasa macam dalam ratusan jugak.
@@nimay13
Gak caya ke.
Mati le org kg org felda nak sediakan ratusan ringgit hanya sekadar bersalin normal.
Pekerja kerajaan lebih murah lagi.
Selepas berbagai jenis operation masih perlu bayar puluhan ringgit sahaja.
@@nimay13lepas tolak semua subsidi kot.. kat resit dia akan tulis harga sebenar 😂😂 kalau tgok harga sebenar keto kepala nak bayar haaha
Jadi Masih ada nak di buat perubahan isu hak rakyat di utamakan lebih lagi.
Conducting business via Whatsapp only shows how practical people are in Malaysia. Why the costly red tape if people can exchange health information and images to the related parties via smartphones. Thats one way to cut the unnecessary costs.
I had similar surgery in Texas in 2002 and it was 70K... yes, all in 70k. Fortunately, I had insurance that covered it all, but just shows you how crazy things are here.... and that was 22 years ago!
Wow, that is wild!
So happy to see you both again and have been sending you positive vibes and thoughts and so very grateful you decided to have the appointment in Kuala Lumpur to get checked out and that you received such amazing care...my heart is so full for you both! 🙏💖
Thank you so much!!
You both as are good at addressing XPat thought processes. So many other TH-camr’s videos don’t seem to have any script or discussion plan and that’s a mistake with the audience. Their videos can feel like very heavy lifting indeed. I’m a corporate hotel points traveler here in US but you two have inspired me to check into some of your suggestions for personal retirement international point hoarding (LoL).
I am sorry you had to go through this. As a single guy without any family or dependents, I am somewhat concerned about retiring overseas. OK, I'll be honest, without a significant other, I think I'd be reluctant to do so by myself.
I saw few foreigner choose to retire in Malaysia due to its low cost of medical treatment. Beside, in Malaysia everyone kind of chill. Haha
"Oh lah.." " Boleh lah..." "Sabar lah.." "Kejap lah.."
it is good to the foreigner but not so to the local...it does not benefit rakyat in the long run...only hospital and doctor and developer and housing agent make money . and rakyat to enjoy higher medical fee in future or now.
@@Moni_892 See in whole picture. those foreign investment good for our economy to growth. The benefits to our people must not be compromised.
win - win situation
Thks for sharing your good experience in Malaysia. Indeed, most Malaysian are friendly and helpful. Hope u happy during period in Malaysia. 🇲🇾❤
We had a great experience in Malaysia!
Very important for those who needed a hysterectomy because of extensive fibroids. Keep your ovaries so that you won’t go into menopause prematurely.
I was able to keep one ovary post hysterectomy. The other one had fibroid covering it.
@@francesjarvis884 👍
Great info! Glad Allie is doing ok after the surgery!!
Thanks!
I'm an American who lived in Brazil for 26 months. I ended up having emergency surgery there that saved my life. They have free healthcare there and pretty much no one there (as far as I know) at the hospital speaks English and my Portuguese almost doesn't exist and it is still much better than the USA. Of course it helps that my wife is Brazilian.
Happy to know your surgery and recovery went well, Allie. The costs for both of you are incredibly reasonable. I wonder what the price would be for something like knee or hip surgery. Here in Canada, we don’t pay for surgery but the wait for procedures like hip and knee replacements can be up to a year or two. I think a month in Malaysia would be a good option for those who would prefer not to wait that long.
We've heard of people doing that here and it going well for them.
You do pay through your taxes.
Total cost would be between $7k to $8k without complications. Stay in hospital is abt 3 days.
@@CynthiaIvers Oh, I realize that, but we are fortunate to have a health care system that takes care of everyone, regardless of income.
Lobstahchowdah… the cost of Total knee replacement is around rm18.000 per knee…had mine for both legs in 2019 for rm52,000 bcos of a bit of complicationd regarding my heart… or else cost should be rm36,000
We're glad you did so well! What an efficient health system they have!
So glad everything worked out well for you both. Great video with reassuring information to make a mental note of for the future. We were in KL last February for two weeks as part of a go with less meetup and some of our friends also made use of the health care system while we there and they like you were very satisfied with the services provided.
Thanks for sharing. That's cheap for a nice clean hospital and very thorough doctor! Here in the US when I had a surgery cost me 30K.
Thanks a million for this information.
As an RN here in the states, I realize the problems we have here, yet we see here in Florida hundreds of Canadians who come to us for their surgeries they’ve waited and waited for in Canada. Glad you’re doing well! Enjoy your channel!
The level of care was also surreal.
Yes
Well planned and well done! Such an incredible sigh of relief for you both. You can celebrate with Malaysian version of Thanksgiving. Cheers to you both!
Thanks!
As far as i know, you can just walk in and do a same day health screening at all the major private hospital in KL. They have a dedicated section which focuses only on health screening and nothing else
Listening to you was an easy decision to subscribe. Looking forward to watching your other videos/blogs.
Thanks for sharing this information with us. It is very valuable to know this kind of system exists and where to find it. Heal fast and good health to you both!
Thanks!
Another Strong video
I'm glad that you're ok. But remember, those fibroids can come back. I've had 3 surgeries for fibroids. My first surgery was huge like yours. It went from one side of the abdomen to the other. My Dr said that my stomach looked like a bowl of spaghetti, all stuck together. The other ones weren't that big, but enough to have to do surgery. Wow, those are some great medical prices. I wound up getting RSV this May and spent 9 days in the hospital. Thank GOD that I have insurance because the bill was over 75,000.00. You look fantastic. But take your time to heal. Glad that you are well too Rob. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for the information. It is amazing how inexpensive health care is outside the USA. We found that too in Puerto Rico when we were there, and things like bringing your own sheets and meals to the hospital could reduce your cost. And I had labs and I needed to pick up the report and take it to the doctor, all saved time and money. I hope you are recovering well Allie. Great report for Rob too. Thanks for sharing. God bless you both 🙏❤️🤗
Thank you!
Puerto Rico is a US Territory
@@kbf6434 Yes, but their health care system is independent from what we have. It functions completely differently than we have in the 50 states.
Amazing!
Amazing... I thank God that you are well...
I always wanted to visit Malaysia! This confirms that I will need to add it to my list. I am o happy that your wife's surgery went well. God is so good.
It's a great place to go!
I was scheduling for a colonoscopy last June and I’m yet to get an appointment here in UK! Free healthcare doesn’t come ‘cheap’ that’s for sure!
I’m so glad all went well, you’re such a sweet couple!
You look terrific! Praise the Lord!
Hopefully all is well for you both
This was a great and very useful video!!! Hope you are doing well and thanks for posting and sharing these experiences for future expats!!!
Congratulations! It's clear you have a blessed life when traveling. It suits you well. Thanks for sharing this valuable information with your audience!
Sorry to hear about your unexpected surgery. Glad to know it is over and you’re better. What a shocker to learn how inexpensive health care is in other countries. Puts the USA to shame. We are being ripped off and change needs to happen. Plus, quality of service needs to improve here.
Thanks!
Excellent Video , very detailed. great you are well recovered you both look very good in particular, your wife .
Wow, that is awesome. It lets you know how we are being overcharged.
So glad you are both fine. Sorry you had to have surgery Allie, but thankfully everything is fine. Best wishes to both of you. Thank you for sharing!
Great information, thanks ❤
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you both so much for sharing such valuable info. So glad you are well and recovered, (and that all other tests were done so quickly and efficiently.)
Appreciate your insight, and your eloquence explaining it all. 🧡
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. So glad you are doing well and will continue to do so. ❤
Thank you!
Wow- the cost is amazing!
Glad everything worked out so well😊
Happy travels now that you are doing better and have the fibroid removed .
So glad you are feeling better.
Thank you!
Bargain is an understatement. That's incredible. As someone enjoying the many 'features' of the US healthcare scheme, it would be so refreshing to see an estimation of everything up front. This is such a challenge to get this info and shouldn't be.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy to see you're both doing well.
Thank you so much!
🥰 Allie - so glad you're better. Love you both.

Glad you’re doing well Ali , stay well and keep enjoying life !
Thanks!
we care health very much.. be healthier faster
So truly sorry that happened to you and that you had to deal with all of that scary health issue. So glad that it was done quickly and competently at an affordable price. You wouldn't get any of that in the States. Dealing with stuff like this in the States is expensive, complicated, and drawn out. It would take months to get all of this done, and by the time it's finished, you're traumatized. Glad that it's taken care of and that you're on the mend.
WOW! Thanks for sharing. I am happy all went well.
Thanks!
Happy to hear good comment about our health service but we Malaysian still very critical of our service
Thank you for the information it’s very helpful and I’m so happy that you’re both doing well

Ouch, glad that you found such good care. Hope you feel better and better
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I first discovered you through your Amtrak videos. They are awesome!
When my husband was preparing to retire I made up spreadsheets of all our expenses. Insurance was covered by his company. I wondered what you were doing for international insurance.
My husband and I are both engineers so we are familiar with traveling abroad for work. Our doctor is Indian and will often refer us to his network of Indian doctors in the bay area. My international co-workers often traveled home for medical procedures because it was better and cheaper than medical care in the US (even with US insurance). They told me that there are medical "vacations" where you visit an international hospital during your stay and vacation the rest of the stay.
You guys gave a play by play of the whole thing, I got a visual without being there.
