Welcome back my friend
It’s so cheap, efficient and comprehensive, even for a foreigner, unbelievable! America is far far behind… and this kind of healthcare is what we are protesting against?
The USA is the only developed country that does not have national Medicare to cover all citizens.
@@sammylee9402 The only development america has its weaponry, everything else is from their neighbors.
That is why US life expectancy is 76 vs China’s 77.
@@shenyun7195 That's unbelievable! ( from Seattle man )
The USA healthcare system is for profit. I had a dizzy spell while traveling in the USA and went to emergency to get checked out. The hospital bill was ridiculous but luckily I bought travel insurance.
I was diagnosed with kidney stones while here in Shenzhen. The emergency facilities were amazing and then the actual operation was done at another great hospital. Can’t fault it. Also because I am legally employed, I could use my Chinese social insurance card to pay majority of the cost.
How much it did cost you for kidney stone treatment?
@@CommonSenses101 - around 3,000 rmb was the cost to me. The operation without Chinese social insurance would probably be 30,000rmb
@@andrewflashchannelgibbs5384 That's about USD $460
@@andrewflashchannelgibbs5384 Thanks. 3000 rmb = 434 US dollars. What kind of treatment was done on you? Can foreigner like you purchase the health insurance in China? And how much do you pay for health insurance over there? Can their health insurance use nation wide or just local? Once again thank you.
While Shenzhe's hospital facilities are among the best in China, doctors in Shenzhen are the shitest through out 1st and 2nd tier cities in China, it can't even compete with some 3rd tier cities.
If one has rare disease or serious chronicle disease it'd be better go to nearby Guangzhou.
I personally think The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital is the best in Shenzhen.
And it's better to choose doctors that have a good university background.
Wow, this hospital seemed more like a mall than a hospital. But, you are right, the hospitals are really computerized and tests are done quickly and results also quick. Your QR code is key to your identity so you get the right report and costs are significantly lower than in the US. China doesn't have universal health care, but a hybrid. Most workers and seniors have health insurance and it pays for most of the cost, though costs, as I said, were much cheaper. BTW, it is up to you to keep your health record, normally in a small notebook that you bring each time you visit. The hospitals keep records of tests done, but there is a small fee if you need them.
About 5 years ago, I had to rush my wife to a hospital in the US. She spent half a day in the emergency ward and and an oncologist spent all of about 15 minutes to visit. He also asked for a post hospital visit. The hospital charged about $20k and the oncologist charged $10K. I paid cash so the hospital gave me a $4k discount. The oncologist, no discount.
In China, about 2 years ago, I had to go to emergency. I have no insurance in China. An oncologist plus GP doctors were attending to me over a 3 hr period. I got an IV drip and some medicines. I had a CT scan. The total cost was about $150 US.
In the major cities, the hospitals are first rate. They normally have western medicine practitioners and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. Everything can be done at the hospital so GP and specialists are there and each department specializes in certain medical needs. They have 'emergency' and triad selection.
Many expats living in China don't have health insurance because health services are so cheap.
Soo how long before someone says your experience is fake and this is Chinese propaganda?
@@gelinrefira Try and get health insurance in America and see if you can afford it.
@@gelinrefirathis price is true,but only for Chinese citizens
@@Nevancen no if you are chinese citizens and you have Social Insurance government will take 80%. so the price even much better .
You are lucky you are in China. In the US, the CT scan in a hospital would cost you $1200, and the doctor who interpret the scan image will charge you $800. That is the price as of April 2023 in California. That's the bill we got.
That's crazy expensive!
probably the scan machine is made od gold or dimond to charging such a price?
After recovered from COVID, I did a CT scan on my chest to ensure I'm 100% OK. It cost about RMB400 ($60) in Beijing and the doctor interpret was free.
Besides other visits to hospitals in China, once I had a heart attack (a bad one). I had two angioplasties, 10 days in ICU plus one week in normal bed. The total bill was about 14000 usd. Had it happened to me in my country, I would have been treated for free - in US I would have asked the doctors to let me die... haha!
creasy price. We often cost less than 50 usds. The doctor analysis will not charge any more.
Wishing you well.Before coming to China, the media coverage on China l had come across was usually negative.Many people in my country including me mistakenly believed that China was a poor country, where there was only oppression without freedom.But when l came to China, l found China is AMAZING! l dare say China is better than the West in many ways.Modernization, convenience, hospitality, safety, all of these has left a positive impression on me. So l told my families and friends that it was only after I came to China l deeply appreciated how excellent China has developed.
Thank you 👍🙏🏻 Yes, living in China is a lot different than people in other countries might think 🙂
i really don't understand why so many people believe china is poor, but at the same time they also know china is second largest economy in the world.
Now that the Internet self-media is so developed, the false propaganda and lies of the West will only make them lose face and credibility
It’s because China has been a victim of anti China propaganda.
@@potblack243 Western media are sponsored by the CIA of the United States through NGO organizations, just to discredit China and make negative reports every day. The news describes China as a poor and backward country with an evil communist system. I believed it deeply before, but I came to China for work reasons last year, and only then did I learn the truth.
Public health facilities all over China are really good, even small village clinics - luckily language is not a problem for me. Interestingly never has any digestive issues in China, all fresh food cooked while you wait in restaurants or street stalls.
The medical system in China is the most severely criticized, and the main prevention measures for poverty alleviation by the Chinese government are poverty caused by illness and college education
really ? i ended up in Sanya, my chickens have better housing then the patients have there, black mold everywhere, beds are out of the stone ages, and so on, worst expernience ever,

I have a Chinese friend got medical accident in hospital in California, his kidney stones didn’t heal properly and he had to go back to China for retreated, after went back to China he just walked to hospital without appointment and the doctors told him he can get surgery the next day. And his surgery was incredibly successful and smooth only cost him around 500 dollars without any insurance
And US is the land of democracy and human right....
High medical cost make GDP look higher than China🎉😂
@@user-gw6fz4ee5e And all kinds of lawsuits. lol
国内挂急诊都这样。我记得上个月，香港东区医院（类似大陆三甲医院）急诊科，一个妇女等了13小时，死在了急诊科厕所。很多香港人都去大陆看病，特别是牙科，洗牙100到150，香港最少500
Someone in China should start a medical tourism business. You go to China to get healed at a fair price and you get to tour the country.
Chinese doctors are the highest level of medical skills in the world. Because China has a population of 1.4 billion, Chinese doctors have a wealth of clinical experience. Doctors in China diagnose more than 50 patients a day. Surgeons in China can perform 4 surgeries per week. Experience the first in the world. And doctors in the United States earn the first in the world, but they have very little experience. Because medical treatment in the United States is expensive and there is a long queue . Doctors in the U.S. treat less than one-third of the patients per day and month as Chinese doctors each year. Most Chinese in the United States, if they get sick, the first thing is to buy a plane ticket to return to China. Instead of going to an American doctor in the United States. Because they can't wait that long. China and capitalism, marketization . But doctors still have some socialist love, and do not think only about their own income and interests, like American doctors.
过于压榨医生了，工作强度远超西方医生，社会地位还不如他们
china doctor must perform 4 surgeries a day
I lived in China for almost 20 years. I was hospitalized twice and underwent surgeries and advanced treatments. My care was excellent. RCD MD.
That’s great 👍 glad to hear you had good experiences.
220 RMB ($31.84 USD) for a CT Scan and Blood Test. WOW! No F*cking way. As an American I find this unbelievably cheap. China's health care system is 100x better than ours.
A few months ago I went to the hospital for a CT scan. I had to wait 4 hours and got charged $700 USD. BTW that is with me having health insurance and within my network coverage. If I didn't have those things, it would have easily cost me three times as much.
America's health care system is so messed up.
If you are a Chinese student, you can get a CT and blood test at a university hospital for less than $10. If you need fluids for a cold or fever, it costs about $10 to $20.
@@maverick6846 Doctors in public hospitals are paid by the state and local finances
US never have health care system, it's health care industries controlled by capitalist, it's profit oriented only, not for the sake of the sick one, but for the sake of the capitalist's wallet.
My friend in the United States was called to the police by an anonymous idiot who said she wanted to commit suicide. She was taken to a hospital by the police and did nothing but talk in a room for half an hour and sleep.
But when she got home she was billed $700 for a prank call. It's ridiculous. If it is in China, the police may pay for you. Even with a psychiatrist it will cost no more than $20
220 RMB is the price for no health insurance
China now has universal healthcare, with 97% coverage. A recent law has also undone restrictions on expensive procedures
That’s actually pretty bad for Doctors. They can earn more but the commie government won’t let them anymore.
Your information is updated quickly, but is accurate
Nothing is more important than health. Good to see Hospital in China is actually pretty great.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing this eye opening video with us. When we hear of China in the west we usually don't think of clean advanced hospitals. This certainly changed my perception of what China is like. And the medical care is SO cheap. Hope you feel better soon. Rest, lots of liquids, and feed yourself well. Your body needs energy to fight off the virus. I'm a 3 time Covid veteran, I should know!
Actually, any city from China, no matter big or small, is cleaner and has better infrastructure than any city from USA. Many people won't believe in what I said but it's a reality. Chinese people seem to embrace new technologies much faster than most other countries.
@@talkthetalk3798 Agree 100%

o boy, are you wrong, driving there is risky, roads are often in bad shape, vehicles, specially scooters drive without light at night, and in Shanhai, everywhere signs along the river : dont touch the water, China is all about show, facades, and dont even talk about electric infra, its the very worst i have seen so far, clean ? i did laugh at times, China is fun, but many places do resemble a true 3th world country, i did stay in Sanya hospital, what a mess, my chickens have a better housing....@@talkthetalk3798

actually, online AI doctor lunched in china recently, you could ask AI for diagnose and purchase medicine online, I use this method to fix my Helicobacter pylori problem last week, total cost is 5 dollars including medcine, medcine delivered to my home at afternoon after I ordered in morning. if I go to hospital, it would cost me 50 dollars, in case of usa, it might be 1000 dollars. health care should serve regular people but not just rich people, I am glad I am living in a socialism country.
Is it safe? There risk of wrong diagnose and no tool to check up right? Then there the risk of scammer making such AI.
@@chrislee5685 well, it is good enough for common problems, just don't use it for cancer anyway......tech needs time to improve, China are developping AI and remote diagnose these years, a solution to health care for aged soceity in coming future. it goes well for now.and BTW, a person could have basic health insurance for most conditions with 20 dollars cost per year, I think it is very important base line for everyone.
@@chrislee5685 When I go to hospital, normally the junior doctor send me for a blood test and/or ultrasound in 5 minutes. I guess this step can well be replaced by an AI, so doctors can focus on the following diagnoses.
you are paid for this propaganda ??? China is fun, an adventure to visit but.....its often a big mess, and that incl. health care as well, but granted, in the bigger cities that will be better, at least i hope so, still wonder, why there are signs at the river in Shanhai....dont touch the water ? and when at Hainan/Sanya, the signs make sure you will not even think of swimming there ? that deliveries, boys in yellow on scooters, i can hardly call that socialist, they work like dogs for what salary ? lots of people do work a month for $ 200 or less....we as westerners can enjoy, we made money in Eu or USA,
@@jinliu1198 true
The best hospitals in China are all public hospitals. I can’t find all the data, but the top 100 are all public hospitals.
Getting prescription drugs is also automated now in China, where you scan your receipt after paying at a vending machine, then after a few seconds your prescription arrives. Really convenient, don't have to wait in line anymore.
Great medical facility for the general public, inexpensive , efficient and no wait. Thanks for sharing the video.
Wow, it’s like a shopping mall with variety of foods and restaurants to choose from. I’m sure patients there can order takeouts to their rooms. At least no need to eat hospital foods every day 😊
是的，医院很多人点外卖

yea. We actually do like this. But most cases, our family members will delivery delicious food to hospital. Our habits is to live together with parents and children.
In China, in fact, most patients solve the food problem by ordering takeout.
@@user-lz1sn8mz3r it's also a culture of our country to delivery home made food for patients. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
In some western countries, you might need to make an appointment on phone call and wait for more than 48 hours but only get a chance to have a 5 minutes free chat with the “doctor” and end up with going to chemist to buy a painkiller or relieving tablets by yourself and a bill of hundreds of dollars. 😅

In China, there is a type of primary health care organization called community hospitals, which regularly notify elderly people over the age of 65 in their districts to go for medical check-ups, which are completely free of charge.
that was not the case for the elderly man who did come the night before from a village, then in the morning to Sanya centr, hospital, he was shouted at by a bitch of a nurse, he could hardly speak, had a hearth attack before and it looks like he was having one again, she told him (screaming) they did not accept cash, he should know that and on it went....the public just stood there in silence, i had to pay promptly or else ? but ok, i am foreigner, China, its all about facades, in reallity its not what it looks like, big Potemkin villages....
@@ertsixbarf China has a population of 1.4 billion, so you are always likely to meet some weird people.
@ertsixbarf 1450崩潰了！
@@ertsixbarf The law in China makes it illegal to not accept cash anywhere, this is heavily enforced, especially in hospitals, anyone who once reported to the hospital director and the police that nurse will lose her job and be investigated for abuse of authority. If you can you just need to call the police in English within an hour and things will surely develop as I said. That nurse was relying on his own authority to bully a backward old man, but I'm sure you agree that bad people have unrelated professions in any country. There are good nurses and bad nurses. Your country can't eliminate medical disputes either can it?
@@user-cj1ib4vo5h a lot of people where just standing there, and then, i was not in the mood, just ill, that hospital would have been condemned here, even my chickens are housed better, cant call that old guy backward, since he dont trust government, that is why he still uses cash, i have been around, had to deal with corruption, staying under the radar is better, i am glad i am out of there, China is all about facades, one big Potomkin village, nothing wrong with the common people, mostly piss poor, the diff is enormous in between China and my country, oh, a family walks in and right away 2 bowing doctors, who paid them all the regards, and took them in at once, while we all where waiting, i only missed the red carpets, i can go on and on, we did see a lot in that 2 months, few filthy rich, iving in their own bubble, most are piss poor, live in tiny apartments some even without windows,
This is very like hospitals I have visited in China. They are clean and modern with good service. Hospitals in the uk are out of date by comparison
keep up dreaming, i had a much diff experience,
Thank you very much for your video. It's very very nice. Actually such kind of hospital can be found in almost every city in China. I was living in countryside when I was a child. At the time when I had some small sick, we usually visted our family doctor who was also living in the same village. When we had some serious sick, we need to go to the hospital at downtown or in the city. It was not so convenient when I was a child. However nowadays it is becoming more and more convenient to visit a doctor. Especially the public transportation is very convenient in China. You can almost go to every city in China.
Thank you very much! that's very kind of you. thats interesting thanks for sharing. I agree public transport is amazing.

Very informative
In the USA , at least in California, we have to wait 1 or 2 days get the results, and the doctors wouldn’t give us the papers, just call them and ask them the results 2 days later. Also we need to make appointments at least 1 week In advance

Same in Australia. Blood test takes two days to be given to the GP. I booked a MRI test recently, the earliest I could book is in three weeks in the testing facility nearby. One good thing in Australia, other than the cost for the specialist, Medicare covers the rest.
Ultra smart hospital ! Wishing you well . 💐
Thank you 🙏🏻🙂❤️
Excellent experience
I live in Shanghai the hospital I go to is exactly the same but much more crowded. At check in it is terrifying for a foreigner the first time. A lot of lines, very noisy. But when you go through you see the lines move fast.
You can go any day and see the specialist you need, for me in by 9:00 out by 11:00. I got an MRI for $64, no appointment in by 9:00 out before 11:00.
Ture. Major hospitals in Shanghai or Beijing are always packed cause some people, especially those with severe illnesses, have to travel across the country to those hospitals where they can find the best doctors in China.
Cheers Ben. Yeah, the first time can be pretty daunting, especially if you aren't registered and need to register first and then figure out where to go. The lines do move way quicker than it looks, I think because they usually have so many workers on the desks.
If you are in a hurry or don't like the crowds you can always opt to go to the VIP sections (there is one in several hospitals, I usually go to Pudong East Hospital near Century avenue). It will cost you an additional 300 rmb (50 usd). But you skip all the queues, all the staff speak English, the specialist you need comes to the clinic to visit you, if you need any test one staff will accompany you to that hospital area and most probably will have you skip the queue and finally there is a small dedicated pharmacy where you can pick up your prescriptions (or otherwise some staff will go fetch them for you downstairs).
Only the top-grade hospitals (class 3A 三甲) are crowded. You can go to the municipal hospitals (normally class 2A) instead. They are as well-equipped (MRI and others) as the best hospitals, but the staff is less experienced. No queues at all, like in the vlog.
that makes sense, also better hospitals i think, i did deal with hospital in Sanya, it was terrible @@wwyytt20

Very high tech and the good choice of food. Very surprised.😮
As an American I'm astonished you're visiting a hospital at all, anywhere, simply because you're sick. In the USA we don't go to the hospital unless we feel like we are risking dying if we don't, because it's so expensive. And preventative care in the USA is only for the very wealthy, so for most of us we don't catch problems early, but instead only get treated when they have become acute or fatal. A good example is cancer, many types of which can be tested for and if detected early, easily treated. But without preventative screening, we tend to only find out we have it when we have months, maybe only weeks, to live. Or diabetes, a friend of mine only found out he had it "when I woke up and I couldn't see" as he put it. With no preventative screening, he only found out he had it when it became acute. This is why the lifespan of Americans is dropping so fast.
The positioning of the healthcare industries in China and the United States is different. In China, hospitals are more inclined towards emphasizing their charitable nature. Many diseases can be prevented if detected early, thus averting their progression into serious illnesses that would require more personal and national healthcare resources, considering that China's medical insurance funds are also under strain. However, in the United States, the healthcare sector must also balance considerations of research and industrial investment returns, generally making it more expensive than in China.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
If you show this video to the standard Europan he will tell you "Chinese propaganda"and nothing on this earth will change his mind.
There is international section in most hospitals in China where it's less crowded. It's relatively more expensive but it's less crowded (short or no queue) and more conducive environment. One can make appointment too to see certain doctor. However the doctors are the same regardless which section you go.
I had a choice between seeing a regular doctor or specialist so I chose the specialist as its was almost the same price anyway. I'm not sure whether this hospital had an international section, I don't think it does. Cheers Liam 👍
@@middlekingdomproductions It actually does have an international section as I already saw the sign in the background of one of your clips😃
@@zebraimage oh 😂 thanks for letting me know, I’ll have a look if I visit there again.
@@zebraimage Next time write the the timestamp please. 🙏
Here in Canada because I don't have a family dr for myself I have to wait 3-5 hours in a clinic before I can see a GP for any condition. If you don't arrive early enough they will fill out and you are turned away. That's for each visit. If need to see a specialist count on months for an appointment. More than a year for any procedure.
Emergency got priority right? If not I can`t imagine how hard it would be. At my place specialist need as long too after submit appointment the Dr. say if serious they put earlier but if GP letter indicate not serious they will put month to half a years.
Now I got Ultrasound appointment at half year then see specialist another week.
I can see Private Hospital if want fast but I risk empty my bank saving since I got no insurance.😂
Exactly the same in New Zealand Urban.
I waited 10-hrs in the Emergency room. With others lying on the floor in pain! Unbelievable.
And it takes 3-weeks to get a 15-minute doctor's appointment!
The great egalitarian society of our forefathers of last century - shot to shit by capitalism.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp If you waited 10 hours in the emergency room and are still fine, it isn't an emergency, it's an Urgent Care matter at most. The cost of living in New Zealand is higher, so medical staff need to be paid more. You can't be paying medical staff minimum wage, because nobody would work there. This is why it takes longer to see a doctor. In the US, if you go to a private clinic there will be no wait time. It really is just economies of scale. China has 94% of its population concentrated in 43% of its landmass, therefore it is much more affordable to see a doctor. The GDP per capita of the US is still 6 times the GDP per capita of China, which means they can spend 6x in medical fees and it would still be a comparable cost. That is of course changing, as Chinese GDP per capita is rising - but with it, also hospital fees. It is difficult to sustain affordable health care, especially in a country with so many people. The cost of manufacturing has risen in China as labor laws become more stringent, which is also why many people are moving to other countries to manufacture goods. If China does become a 'developed country' in the future, it will be hard to maintain this level of affordability without government subsidies, which come from higher taxes. Unfortunately, true communism depends on infinite resources, which is why any society that maintains an economy must be capitalist. I do want to mention, however, that despite the high prevalence of H. Pylori in East Asia, Chinese hospitals were not able to detect it in my blood after three draws, whereas I was able to detect it in Canada after one.
@@jhuang6264 I was finally taken into the hospital - diagnosed with a gangrenous gall bladder, and had immediate surgery.
The operating doctor said I was lucky to be still alive.
It was an Emergency!
"The cost of living in New Zealand is higher, so medical staff need to be paid more. You can't be paying medical staff minimum wage, because nobody would work there" LOL Yes you got it! Thats why hospital staff in NZ are quitting in droves and going to work in Australia. There is an acute shortage of nurse's and doctors.
The NZ socialized healthcare system is broken! And a disgrace. Successive governments have not funded it to meet the country's needs.
Wish you health my friend
keep your health record, normally in a small notebook that you bring each time you visit. The hospitals keep records of tests done, but there is a small fee if you need them
In Canada, you have to at least finish 5 bottles of water before your number is called.
Lol at Malaysia too I know the pain.........🤣 what worse is seeing GP wait then send to X-ray wait......send to take blood wait.....going back to GP wait......in the end take med at Pharmacy wait...... at last it only took from 8am till 5pm to finish.
At least I save a lot compare going to private.🤑
Thank you for your sharing. hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Simon
Yeah wishes you well, get better ok.
Hope you have fully recovered more
Speedy recovery, bro
Take care and get well soon.
Wtf, this is the future. We America can't compete. Wake up America
In America, you have to make a fuuuuking appointment weeks to months in advance before seeing a doctor, and then you have to pay more than 10 x more for whatever it is. In China, you basically walk into any hospital anytime you have a problem.
Been there, done that. I had to spend 3 days in the hospital in Foshan. Cost with CT under $1000USD. If I was still in the US it would have been over 10 times that if not more. I can actually afford good medical care here in China, even without health insurance.
Much faster than a hosptial in Ontario and reasonably priced for the speedy service.
Hopefully, you will be fully recovered. Please take good care of yourself and make sure you have adequate medical insurance which is very important!
Thank you very much 🙏👍
It is much more interesting to travel to china than to a neighbour country in Europe without the organised trip just alone or friends .
Hello, it's good to know that your health improves, thanks for your videos.
Thank you Victor! 👍
intersting!
The hospital looks so huge, with wide hallways, like Grand Central Station.
Good to see a hospital with a few people around.
Because it's spring to summer now. If it's auttumn or winter, will get more people here. But CN build more hospitals recently, I don't whether it's one of reasons.
祝你健康。
All the specialists are within the facility. No need to drive for hours to see another specialist.
I really missed the health service in China. Here I got severe symptoms of chesty coughing during the weekend and I can do nothing. The GP asked me to wait for their call to arrange a check and maybe I will recover or die before the appointment 😅
Get well soon!
Thank you 🙂🙏🏻
Thanks for showing the hospital or clinic which is at higher levels of a shopping mall.
This is a hospital building, which is spacious and bright, and can be used in coffee shops and various fast food restaurants.
Much more cheaper than Indonesia... we paid USD200 for CT Scan
Filming a video alone while sick is pretty hard. Luckily it was just a cold or something.
Wish you well soon.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻👍
Normally hospitals in China don't have a food court inside. But you'll find a wide choice of food just outside the hospital.
The medical treatment cost is controlled by the government here and the competition is so fiercely. So many things are really cheap .

yes, city centre, whohahaha,
Huge building and clean. More like a shopping centre. Beautiful. Well done China.
I just got back from Zhu Hai a couple of weeks ago (was there 7 weeks). My mom fell on her head and it was the first time we went through the ER process (ambulance to hospital). The price was really cheap compared to the states ($120 ambulance, $25 MRI and so forth). My ONLY issue I had with the process is that unlike the USA and Taiwan, you have to pay for each stage of the care process. Ambulance ride, paid right after she was dropped off. The ER administrative processing - you had to pay at the counter. Then MRI scans too. So unless you have someone with you that can pay I can't imagine what would happen to you if you are hit by a car and in a coma.
that is really a good question. So if you are really sick you can not go to hospital alone or you need to wait for your family or friends come. 😢
They will save you if you are alone and going to die 😂
如果你一个人，并且有危险，医院必须马上处理，这叫做首诊负责制，如果出了问题，第一位接待你的医生得负责任
They'll obviously save you first and bill you later
In an emergency they treat you first. I had a heart attack and I was billed only after I recovered, on the day I left the hospital (2 surgeries and 15 days later).
wish you well soon, might just because of the season, water water and water :)
Cheers Neil 🙏🏻yep, plenty of water 😁
I have been to hospital in Shenzhen a few times. Nothing major -- fractured bones and another problem needing some medical treatment. The service was fast and the doctors were polite, friendly and professional. I paid myself but it wasn't expensive. I would think second tier cities would not be half as good.
😂乌鲁木齐算几线城市？我因脑梗和心梗住院6个月，住过CCU病房，做了一个心脏支架，总花销不到6万人民币
yes you got it wright my experience in Sanya was not good, well, doctors ? some good yes,
dude, the background music is like that you are going to the heaven of ancient China
True, if you have a simple illness, it is fast and cheap to get treated in China. I had a CT scan done a few months ago in Shenzhen, it costed me about 60 US$ and took about one hour to get the results. On the other hand, since the doctors have to treat so many people, they cannot spend too much time on you, so sometimes, you may not get the right treatment. As China is still developing, i hope in the future, the average Chinese will enjoy higher standard of medical care as the people in the developed world.
Chinese doctors are rich in clinical experiences. Think about hundreds of patients they see everyday. Time they spent on you is not the key factor for the dignosis(They just need to know your symptoms and test results） . Their skill and experiences are the key fators for the correct diagnosis.
In the U.S. many people will die because they won't go to a hospital due to extremely high medical cost and many suffer with medical bankruptcy. which ruins their life.
Also greedy, expensive insurance companies won't cover what people need to get better.and puts people through a lot of stress when they should be focusing on getting better.
Wow, looks very nice and clean. Mostly importantly, it's not expensive. I really wish we have this in the USA because it is expensive to get sick. Doctors and hospitals will milk money out of you.
👍👍👍

早日康复哦
谢谢 🙏🏻🙂👍
I remember there was a day my platelet went down to almost 46 when I was having dengue. My doctor was so panic she afraid I might fall into coma. Immediately I was injected with so many injections and ate so many medications until I lost track. I felt extremely weak with no strength. I told my nurse and doctor relax, do not panic. I'll be fine. But they said it's time to worry. With such a low platelet I might end up in a coma very soon and might not be able to wake up for a long long time to come or even forever. But God knows why I was so chill and relax.
I and my mother got dengue too few years back admit to public hospital at Malaysia stay for 5 days drink water like crazy to flush, my opposite are foreign worker more serious nurse kept monitoring him, now I put on mosquito net at every window at my house.
My stay free, but my mother not sure why got charge RM50.
@@chrislee5685 Just look at the bright side. It's still much cheaper than private hospital.
2:42 funniest thing. One character was covered with an * to protect the patient's privacy. One * is enough for the Chinese but not for Adam😂
Haha yes 😂👍
I think CT/MRI is a kind of standard diagnostic procedure in China. But the cost is fair, 120 yuan when I took a CT last month, but took me 4 hours to wait. Not sure why so many ppl doing that on that day.
That is because CT is standard procedure for Covid diagnosis in China.
Because of the huge population, especially in big cities. There are 91 cities in China have over 5 million people , and 18 of them have over 10 million. Chongqing has over 32 million, Shanghai has 25 million. Which one have you been?😂
In China, CT is not advanced equipment, and even small hospitals are equipped with CT.
Now in China, a phone can take care of most procedures. Including online registration, inspection results, payment, etc. At the scene, you just need to show the QR code on your phone to pick up your medication or order a test. No paper documents are required. Your test and medication information will be transmitted to the doctor's computer. But the problem now is that many small cities in China have built fancy hospitals, but there is a shortage of doctors. As a result, many rural Chinese must drive hundreds of kilometers to nearby big cities for medical care, fearing that doctors in smaller cities are too skilled to make mistakes. What's more, the cost of seeing a top specialist in a big city is not much more expensive than a regular doctor, and you can get a super professor's clinic for about $10. So hospitals in big cities are often overcrowded, people have to queue for a long time to see doctors, and some criminals take the opportunity to cheat patients.
我不认同你这个说话，我的家乡在5-6县城吧。医院里的医生和护士不缺。
@@monomono56小城市缺优秀的医生，优秀的医生基本来自教学医院，也就是某某大学附属医院，医生的职称晋升和学术地位需要这些医院，而优秀的医生又在教学医院指导该大学医学院的学生，如果一位医生脱离了教学医院，那他在学术上几乎没有进步空间了

China has never been short of doctors.
On the contrary, doctors who graduate newly every year face fierce competition in finding jobs.
我在法国预约一个检查肺部问题的医生，预约等了两个月，然后等预约做胸透又是2周，再回来找这个医生的时候，发现他的预约时间要到6个月以后😂。如果胸透的照片不清楚，是不是还要预约再做一个核磁共振？然后又再等几个月找他？我觉得我可以等明年飞回中国，用一天的时间解决这些问题。
😂🙈 yes, in the UK the NHS used to have short wait times and be the best free health service in the world but then the government decided they could underfund it and outsource services to private companies and now it’s like you described in France. The wait times are crazy, even for serious diseases and you have to book different appointments with different departments and often wait months. It would definitely be easier to book a flight to China for sure 🙂
@@middlekingdomproductions 完全同意你😂

在加拿大也是，检查身体所谓免费但是排队要很久，前几天新闻看到一个人肿瘤转移要抽样化验，要排队九个月，家人和病人哭诉说等检查到的时候都不知道病情要发展成什么样了。加拿大很多华人飞回国做检查的，我一个朋友说就算有病回国连吃带玩儿一顿病也好差不多了。
CT scan and Blood test will take 1 week to get results. CT scan will cost you 700 aud if u dont have insurance in Australia.
That defeats the purpose of testing. By the time you got the results, the condition might get worse.
@@ericliume or better
@@ericliume Yep, what can u do.
Why are you complaining for 1 week wait mate? Here's the title of my local news in Vancouver Canada: "'I'm at the mercy of a failing health-care system': B.C. cancer patient faces 6-month wait for biopsy"
@@pinkcichlid what is your wait time at the emergency department? In Australia is 5 hours. The parking fee at the hospital is 20 dollars an hour.
Dang! Doesn't feel like a hospital anymore. If you didn't mention it, i would have thought its a mall
Bf pandemic when i holiday in China, my wife had serious stomachache & vomiting & i took her to a public hospital ( with assistance from Chinese friend) & it was past 10pm. As it was an outskirts , the facility was poor & she had 3 botol iv drips but the nurses & doctor was excellent & great service. Actually i was surprised & it was very very cheap .
the hospitals in Hangzhou‘s future technology is much more better
Wow very advance hospital CT scan cost is cheap, it’s costing $900-1000 in US.
Welcome to Nanjing
thank you very much!
我们中国很多人生在福中不知福，总觉得国外什么都好。😂
@爱国程序员小葛 别人家的媳妇确实好，这个必须承认😂😂😂
美國的醫療系統比中國差的多，除非是大富的人或高官。
中国人有个毛病：饭是别人家的好吃，老婆是别人家的好，
加上不了解国外，自然会觉得国外什么都好。
瑞典这边的免费医疗体制对小毛小病不友好，基本不给治，胜在对大病的保障上，总体来说各有千秋，瑞典模式最大的问题是资金来源只有极少数顶级发达国家能采用高税收高福利模式，现在随着经济下行也越来越难以为继，明显的医生拒诊率在提高
毕竟很多人心中只有中外两国😂
Several weeks ago I was sent to ER in Washington DC by ambulance. I fell on the sidewalk of the street and had "a humerus fracture break in the large bone in the upper arm."
I went in ER at 15:23, and released at 22:53. 90% of the time in the ER was waiting. So the 9 minutes you waited for nothing is really "nothing" compared to my 6+ hours waiting. I had X-Ray and CT scan.
I have not received the bills yet. I really have no idea how much is going to cost me. I could give you an update as soon as I got my bills.
My mom visited me in Seattle area from China about 10 years ago. She didn't have American medical insurance of course. On an occasion, she mistakenly overdosed on her regular medicine and felt pretty bad. So we brought her to an ER. We spent about 2 hours in there and the doctor just observed her without doing anything (which is understandable because maybe there wasn't anything to do after all). After a few days we received the bill. $800 for the room, $400ish for the service. So $1200 to buy a peace of mind. Money well spent.
@甲賽 Its more complicated in the US. The hospital's billing staff first checks how much does the insurance pay for the person if he has any medical insurance. Then they'll decide if he can be given some write off in the charges. So usually the billing sent to the patient takes a few weeks.
@甲賽 Dortia Pewpew is right, it is very complicated in between services provider and health insurance company. The services provider put everything on the list and submit to insurance company then the price negotiation starts . One importance thing is to identify which party should be responsible for the bills. I fell on the street that was an accident. The place I fell is a public street belongs to city......all kinds of things need to be sort out. I guess that I will get my first bill in about two months. To make the thing more complicated is one of the reason that the Health Insurance is one of the biggest industries in US.
@甲賽 By the way, thanks!
Yeah, healthcare has become a for profit industry on a massive scale in way too many places. I hope your bill isn't too high and get well soon. Thank you for your comment 🙏👍
I hope you have recovered well.
Not yet 🙈 thank you though 👍
