There is no way you can film inside a hospital in the USA without security and police being called. China is on another level when it comes to freedom and democracy
China doesn't need democracy and doesn't need communism, that's just the ideology of a country. Ancient China is also very famous for its traditional medicine. and they treat people well, to foster health and foster a fairly good national spirit. China today might be said to be a democracy because of the freedom that exists, even though they are monitored by the government every day but that is for the good of their own people, and to avoid negative things such as murder, theft and all kinds of things.
I lived in the US for 20 years. Now I live in HK and travel to China every week. From what I see, China is having better subways, better trains, better roads and bridges, better malls, better parks, better governmental services, better hospitals, better elementary and middle schools, and soon better universities than the US (and HK as well). China is improving while the US is deteriorating.
Yet, there are stories of Chinese nationals trying their desperate best (at great risk to their lives and money) trying to illegally enter the US from Mexico - in the naive belief that the American streets are paved with.gold! 😂😂😂
In China, all regulations regarding work they really respect the rules and love their work, they will serve the people who use their services very well, treatment in China is also very cheap. Chinese hospital services are also equipped with AI technologies. China is amazing.
Thanks for your kind words. I am starting to feel much better, though my arm still needs a few months to recover properly. This hospital stay costed around 35,000 RMB, but there are still check-ups ahead and the operation to take out the braces next year if all goes well.
@@RedHotTopicsNow According to a 2021 study from the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average cost of a hospital stay per day in the U.S. was $2,883. so 46.000 usd just for hospital stay
Thanks guys. Yes, the hospital was quite long. I had ten days pre-op for tests and to reduce the swelling, then another few days afterwards for observation. I did actually think it would have been far more expensive in western countries, but we do have insurance policies here to cover the treatment fortunately.
In Canada costs CAD$1,000 (about RMB 5500) for a foreigner to see a regular doctor for a minor thing such as a cold, cash must be paid in full before the doctor appears! If don't have the money then get kick out of the clinic.
In Canada, we have universal healthcare system that covers most of those costs. For foreigners without insurance, it may cost roughly $10k. However, in US, you'll be in big trouble running about $100k.
@@koneos6580 Foreigners with their own private medical insurance and without Canada government medical health plan still must pay $1000 cash upfront, the clinic gives a receipt which the foreigners can later use to file claims with their medical insurance provider. All the medical clinics and hospitals in Canada require cash up front from anyone, not just foreigners, who are without any nationally recongized medical insurance in Canada.
😮What？RMB 5500 for a cold？ Even I don't use my medical insurance，take some medical examination for blood and urine、X-ray……the examination fee maybe RMB 300-400，than RMB 100 for the pills. 😂And most time I need not so many examination for a clod，RMB 200 in total is normal.
I fractured my shoulder 4th January when I went over on my ankle and fell face forward onto the concrete. Spent 5 days in the hospital with the room all to myself. Cost me 2,500 Rmb. Two thousand five hundred. Didn't need an operation but just had to have my arm in sling for three months. Still aches a bit now but no sling needed. Doctors and nurse were excellent with their care for me even though they could not speak English.
I hope you’re recovering well. I’ll need another operation under general anaesthesia next year to remove the braces and screws, but I’ll keep that at the back of my mind for now. Chinese does really come in handy at the hospital. I speak with a strong accent, but communication isn’t a problem for me.
Excellent to have the military hospitals opened to the public when it is not needed for the soldiers. Military hospital's are the best of the best and in the US the "Surgeon General" which is a military appointment is the country's chief medical advisor.

It is enough to have 1 country leader, as long as the country can get a clear vision and mission to develop their country according to existing regulations and rules, rather than being a democratic country which has to change leaders every year and the policies of each leader are different and the vision and mission of changing leaders have to see whether they will continue the previous president's vision or stop the previous president's vision with the new president's vision, that is the same as slowing down the development of a country.
@@rajababy2009 That's right, why is China, which only has one party, considered by the western media as an authoritarian government or oppressive tyrant? and what is the difference with absolute government based on kingdoms and dynasties? like the Persian/Iranian kingdom in ancient times, and the Chinese kingdom in the past which was a monarchy? they are also governments run by one leader and even if they change, the descendants of the kingdom/sultanate will replace the vision of the leader of the kingdom and sultanate according to monarchical government? like Saudi Arabia today, their government is an absolute government mixed with a monarchical government. The difference is that currently the Chinese government looks like a monarchy but is run based on an absolute government controlled by one permanent party. whereas in Europe and the West, they run absolute governments and are elected based on election results.

That was for the whole stay, including the operation from a surgeon with nearly 30 years experience. Apart from the injury, I have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks for the wishes.
Mostly, public hospitals in China are much better reputation than the private hospitals. The costs are same rates for both citizens and foreigners by government regulations
Good luck with your healing James. Can you tell us more about the art of bone setting without surgery done by the first Chinese doctor. Is it a part of traditional Chinese medicine? I know that in traditional Chinese medicine, they don't like to cut open the body.
Thank you. I didn’t really have any treatment at the hospital in Wanzhou apart from the x-ray and the doctor manually putting the joint back in place. It was more a temporary stay before I could be transferred to Chongqing.
From getting off the plane in Xiamen at6 o’clock in the morning. by 8 30I was able to see a dentist in a public hospital had treatments done at incredibly affordable prices . and without an appointment.
Private hospitals are all high profit, including dentistry, male and female reproductive medicine, plastic surgery, and reproductive medicine. They are specialized hospitals and even personal clinics. General hospitals are not allowed by the government and can only be operated by the state. If a Chinese person purchases national medical insurance, the cost of this payment is about 5000 yuan, and the medical insurance reimbursement is 80% -90%
It just proves you can keep the health cost down if you really wanted to. This would be at least 5 or 6 times more in the US just for visit emergence room a couple of hours.
Absolutely. The hospital gives inpatients a daily itemised bill with a 2am cutoff time, and those IV bottles literally cost tens of yuan each, while the cost of smaller things like needles and dressings were in single digits. The bed rate was only 60 yuan per night, with an extra 10 for accompanying family members. It shows how vital it is that medicine prices are strictly controlled to stop the health service from becoming a racket.
@@sabinereynaudsf I guess in chinese culture, most chinese cares about their family members and consider it as a very important thing. They would like to stay with the patient and hope they get well soon❤
@@sabinereynaudsf I was pretty helpless those 16 days, so I needed help with lots of everyday tasks like getting in and out of bed, communicating with nurses, fetching drinks, and emptying the urine bottle. Thankfully, I’m more able bodied now.
Never look at your phone when walking, always watch where you're going and walking on. If you must look at your phone then stop walking, stay at a safe spot before looking at your phone.
one good point is many military facilities in china will provide services to the public in cheap price when there is no war, which helps the poor people and also helps the facilities make profits so they spend less tax money to maintance😮
When a war occurred, some of the doctors and nurses in these military hospitals would be relocated to the field hospitals. Doctors in Daping hospital recieved thr order to prepare themselves during 96 strait crisis.
There are very few cases of treating gunshot injuries in China, so Chinese trauma doctors go to the United States to study. In China, military hospitals are preferred for trauma and orthopedic diseases because they are professional
What was the cost like for foreigners and how does it compare to a private Chinese hospital? How do you compare this to Western hospitals like in Canada, or Australia?
I kept snot from a few days ago, yesterday I went to the hospital, below r my expenses: Register and see the doctor cost 4 USdollars, Nasal endoscopy 22dollars, medicine and nasal vacuum wash total 22 dollars. Thats all. Parking1.5 USD. Everything done in 2 hours, better make reservation 1 day before you would like go to hospital. Thats all.
In Australia, I have raised a family of six. Many hospital visits, occasionally even flying doctors and helicopter, ambulances, heart attack, child births, broken bones over the decades and much more never paid a cent.
Me. Study and work in syd, Australia for years. Citizen. Not on any Centrelink payment. With full time job. On Minimum healthy insurance which doesn't really cover everything.. Paid $ 400+ for ambulance (car accident), $730 for one ankle M.R.I (Medicare claim $200), $250 Specialist consultation if I don't want to wait for public hospital (more than a year waiting time). More and more GP s are not doing bulk billing ..... So, yes, we do have free health care, but with term and conditions...
@@heidif5585 You could have gone to a public hospital without insurance. I'm in my 60s now but I've never had insurance and never had to pay anything. I have never waited longer than 3 months for most surgery's and anything serious you get in straight away.
Mate, you are joking, aren't ya? The Bulk bill is gone, the Private insurance fund is hiking like crazy, and queues for the public hospital are getting worse and worse, the GP is basically doing nothing but ripping you off and then sending you to those real docs aka "specialists" which will cost you at least $300 each 10mins visit! The docs, nurse, and patient, everyone is complaining, so really is not a good time to praise the Straya collapsing medical system here. But, of course, if you are one of those POS profiting from the NDIS by scamming money out of the system, I guess you are lucky to be an I-refuse-to-work kind of Disability, soon more Aussies will become the Disability, we can be more proud of being Disability nation, hey?
@@snapper69996666 it is because you are lucky and not getting any of those serious diseases, so you have time to wait, and you don't care if your treatment can get postponed by 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years 3 years delay, good on ya! Or you are a kind of special VIP that is higher than most ordinary people in the queue, not like others who either have to swallow those crazy insurance bills to jump the queue or wait in the public long list to see the hospital considering your sickness is worth to be treated, by those docs working for both public and private...and you are proud of such system? This system is really sick.
@snapper69996666 Good that you never have to pay for your medical needs. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to everyone... no free ambulance for younger people like me (30s) , nor ongoing physiotherapy after 5 sessions. True that our emergency service is pretty good.. However, you need to have lots of patience when it comes to free non-urgent services. For example, in 2023, the average waiting time for community dental services stands at 16.7 months in VIC. I think the point of this video is to show Chinese efficiency. To show a different point of view from what you see on Western media. Yes , the Chinese need to pay for their service, but they get things done very quickly (Eg. Blood test, CT results within hours, many same day surgery) and the standard is quite high too. (Well. Of course depends on which hospital you go to... same in Australia)
Wow.. great operation.... Perfect service. Why don't you compare the service to USA or UK? 😊 If it happens in USA and Uk, how long will it take to reach hospital? How long will it take to take and x-ray ? How long will it take a dr to come and see you? How much will cost in UK?
China medical care already next level. they really did good things to their people, we paid expensive insurance per month, still hard to find a doctor, so disappointed .....
Hospital is not free，but cheap and quick. Usually，the community will cooperate with hospital to invite the doctors go to community for giving a free physical examination for above 60 years old people. But Chinese company be asked to pay a medical insurance for thier employee. So it‘s not expensive for us.
When we vacationed in Japan and our mother got sick. We couldn't get help mostly due to language barrier, and we had to wait till we arrive in Taiwan. Toronto Canada's healthcare system is overwhelmed, getting an appointment for a GP is tough, a specialist impossible. Question, any medical tourism in China? Speaking English only a problem? How much for a cat scan or x-ray for none residents? Thanks
I'm from Toronto and have been to China many time. Every time I get sick, I goto hospital and have everything check out on the same day. Xray, ultrasound and CT scans are done on the same day. CT scan costs about $100. Other tests are cheap. And claimed insurance after I came back and got my money back.
In USA you'd be arrested for filming in a public building😲 I was in Chongqing once to check out a helicopter job. Weather there always overcast and misty like that. The company had a 4-man fatal accident the day after, flew into the ground in bad weather.
It`s true things are getting better 'up north' as far as medicine and hospitals go - but many people still come down in Hong Kong to seek medical assistance here! And now a days they have to pay full price for government run hospitals!
last time I was traveling in US and had to go to hospital..... just registration feel is about 500USD, and after saying the doctor, he told me he was the wrong doctor to treat my issue, and the doctor can treat me not available.... so $500 for nothing
It felt terrible. I can assure you. Thankfully, they did a grand job with my operation, and I was so desperate for the procedure I was actually looking forward to it.
Maybe you haven’t noticed, this is actually an army hospital, and you may have been implanted with a 5G brain washing device. 😆😆😆(OK, I'm just kidding.)
My dad got run over by a car in China. We got a doctor from another city through "doctor agency" and had to give "red envelope" with money (in hiding) so he is motivated to operate on our dad properly. Not everything is shining there either. You need connections and extra money to get good doctors to operate on you.
You may have made a mistake, in your situation in China, you have hired a flying knife doctor The general meaning of the doctor's "flying knife" is: the act of a doctor using various means of transportation to other hospitals during their own rest time and being invited to perform surgery This is allowed in China, so it is his additional income. You must have already negotiated the price before this. It is an equivalent transaction
You can also choose not to accept the services of the Flying Knife Doctor and instead go to the hospital where the Flying Knife Doctor is located to make an appointment for his registration Of course, if you think both the cost and time are appropriate
What? 16 days? You probably only were allowed to stay in the hospital for just one or two days in US, but the cost probably will be more than what you paid there for 16-day stay.
It was a long stay. Most of the fellow patients came and went after a few days. It was a serious break, so they needed a long time to control the swelling pre-op, and the observation period was another five days or so. No complaints though, the hospital was top notch.
Health care is not entirely free in china. If you are poor, life isn't that great. If you live in England every one has the same health care service. Nearly 643000 people went bankrupt because they couldn't pay medical bill in America each year. At least this won't happen in china.
In China, even if you can't afford the cost. If your condition is severe, treatment will be arranged first, and then the expenses will be reimbursed. We will never let anyone wait to die.
everyone has read/heard about the huge problems the NHS is now going through. In fact there are plans - aren`t there - to make it insurence based rather than a tax based paid for system. Singapore has a fairly good method of insurance based health care - Hong Kong hasa both public and private with a growing interface between the two and government paid for scheme for elderly to get free private health care. the problem for the NHS is UK government military spending.
Your concern is non sense in China. The respiration disease patient will stay in different departments with air circulation control. This is only for orthopedic patients.
Patients with respiratory diseases will be assigned independent wards. Of course, if ordinary patients want to stay in a single ward, it is also possible, with only an additional fee. This depends on the patient's own choice.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, possessing the highest medical technology. Why does the United States have the most deaths from COVID-19 in the world? China's population is several times that of the United States. Why is China far less likely to die of COVID-19 than the United States? That's because China's public health governance is already the best in the world. If we hope that China can prevent the virus from spreading globally. That's very simple. It only needs that all countries in the world are under the leadership of the CPC. Otherwise, the Chinese government can only manage its own country well. Whether others are dead or alive, we are powerless.

It shows how vital it is that medicine prices are strictly controlled to stop the health service from becoming a racket.
@@cqfox Why would you need to have your family members there overnight?
@@sabinereynaudsf I guess in chinese culture, most chinese cares about their family members and consider it as a very important thing. They would like to stay with the patient and hope they get well soon❤
@@sabinereynaudsf I was pretty helpless those 16 days, so I needed help with lots of everyday tasks like getting in and out of bed, communicating with nurses, fetching drinks, and emptying the urine bottle. Thankfully, I’m more able bodied now.
Never look at your phone when walking, always watch where you're going and walking on. If you must look at your phone then stop walking, stay at a safe spot before looking at your phone.
Get well soon, and take care ❤
Pray for ur recovery
one good point is many military facilities in china will provide services to the public in cheap price when there is no war, which helps the poor people and also helps the facilities make profits so they spend less tax money to maintance😮
是的，在中国没有战争核工厂的离心机是用来做冰激凌的。🤣
哇，
訪談開始，笑語從容，以為傷不重。
到後面的說明，知道可是大辛苦了。
保重啊。
I was an emotional wreck on the second day, but I had come to terms with the injury on day three, and the visits cheered me up a lot.
Damn, swift recovery.
When a war occurred, some of the doctors and nurses in these military hospitals would be relocated to the field hospitals.
Doctors in Daping hospital recieved thr order to prepare themselves during 96 strait crisis.
There are very few cases of treating gunshot injuries in China, so Chinese trauma doctors go to the United States to study. In China, military hospitals are preferred for trauma and orthopedic diseases because they are professional
Because literally not a lot of people can carry guns in China. Even local police do not have guns. hehehehe

What was the cost like for foreigners and how does it compare to a private Chinese hospital? How do you compare this to Western hospitals like in Canada, or Australia?
别去私人医院 收费太贵
I kept snot from a few days ago, yesterday I went to the hospital, below r my expenses: Register and see the doctor cost 4 USdollars, Nasal endoscopy 22dollars, medicine and nasal vacuum wash total 22 dollars. Thats all. Parking1.5 USD. Everything done in 2 hours, better make reservation 1 day before you would like go to hospital. Thats all.
The best doctors in China work in public hospitals. The most private hospitals in China are dental clinics.
In Australia, I have raised a family of six. Many hospital visits, occasionally even flying doctors and helicopter, ambulances, heart attack, child births, broken bones over the decades and much more never paid a cent.
Me. Study and work in syd, Australia for years. Citizen. Not on any Centrelink payment. With full time job. On Minimum healthy insurance which doesn't really cover everything.. Paid $ 400+ for ambulance (car accident), $730 for one ankle M.R.I (Medicare claim $200), $250 Specialist consultation if I don't want to wait for public hospital (more than a year waiting time). More and more GP s are not doing bulk billing ..... So, yes, we do have free health care, but with term and conditions...
@@heidif5585 You could have gone to a public hospital without insurance. I'm in my 60s now but I've never had insurance and never had to pay anything. I have never waited longer than 3 months for most surgery's and anything serious you get in straight away.
Mate, you are joking, aren't ya? The Bulk bill is gone, the Private insurance fund is hiking like crazy, and queues for the public hospital are getting worse and worse, the GP is basically doing nothing but ripping you off and then sending you to those real docs aka "specialists" which will cost you at least $300 each 10mins visit!
The docs, nurse, and patient, everyone is complaining, so really is not a good time to praise the Straya collapsing medical system here. But, of course, if you are one of those POS profiting from the NDIS by scamming money out of the system, I guess you are lucky to be an I-refuse-to-work kind of Disability, soon more Aussies will become the Disability, we can be more proud of being Disability nation, hey?
@@snapper69996666 it is because you are lucky and not getting any of those serious diseases, so you have time to wait, and you don't care if your treatment can get postponed by 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years 3 years delay, good on ya!
Or you are a kind of special VIP that is higher than most ordinary people in the queue, not like others who either have to swallow those crazy insurance bills to jump the queue or wait in the public long list to see the hospital considering your sickness is worth to be treated, by those docs working for both public and private...and you are proud of such system? This system is really sick.
@snapper69996666 Good that you never have to pay for your medical needs. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to everyone... no free ambulance for younger people like me (30s) , nor ongoing physiotherapy after 5 sessions.
True that our emergency service is pretty good.. However, you need to have lots of patience when it comes to free non-urgent services. For example, in 2023, the average waiting time for community dental services stands at 16.7 months in VIC.
I think the point of this video is to show Chinese efficiency. To show a different point of view from what you see on Western media. Yes , the Chinese need to pay for their service, but they get things done very quickly (Eg. Blood test, CT results within hours, many same day surgery) and the standard is quite high too. (Well. Of course depends on which hospital you go to... same in Australia)
Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any travelling insurance coverage ??
Wow.. great operation.... Perfect service. Why don't you compare the service to USA or UK? 😊 If it happens in USA and Uk, how long will it take to reach hospital? How long will it take to take and x-ray ? How long will it take a dr to come and see you? How much will cost in UK?
Chinas healthcare system is appalling. Can’t even break top 100 countries
China medical care already next level. they really did good things to their people, we paid expensive insurance per month, still hard to find a doctor, so disappointed .....
Good work China. Public health services are great and should be free, glad I live in Australia and not the US
Hospital is not free，but cheap and quick.
Usually，the community will cooperate with hospital to invite the doctors go to community for giving a free physical examination for above 60 years old people.
But Chinese company be asked to pay a medical insurance for thier employee. So it‘s not expensive for us.
祝早日康复
When we vacationed in Japan and our mother got sick. We couldn't get help mostly due to language barrier, and we had to wait till we arrive in Taiwan. Toronto Canada's healthcare system is overwhelmed, getting an appointment for a GP is tough, a specialist impossible. Question, any medical tourism in China? Speaking English only a problem? How much for a cat scan or x-ray for none residents? Thanks
据我所知正规医院扫描X光大概是10到300元左右，会根据部位大小不同有不同的收费标准，最高300元（人民币）左右。
不同的价格不一样 大概率10-300-500左右吧
看看做的哪些检查 科目不一样检查费用不同
但是不会特别贵

随时来中国检查 预约 都可以当天就诊 最好一大早就去
因为人多
I'm from Toronto and have been to China many time. Every time I get sick, I goto hospital and have everything check out on the same day. Xray, ultrasound and CT scans are done on the same day. CT scan costs about $100. Other tests are cheap. And claimed insurance after I came back and got my money back.
James will never be admitted to hospital here in Canada. It's not that serious they say. The doctor sent my colleague home with a broken arm recently.
he would be admitted, it just depends where you are and the doctor. you can't speak on the whole with just one experience in one place.
OMFG😢
願您平安健康🙏早日康復
In USA you'd be arrested for filming in a public building😲 I was in Chongqing once to check out a helicopter job. Weather there always overcast and misty like that. The company had a 4-man fatal accident the day after, flew into the ground in bad weather.
Hospitals is like hotels n resorts
It`s true things are getting better 'up north' as far as medicine and hospitals go - but many people still come down in Hong Kong to seek medical assistance here! And now a days they have to pay full price for government run hospitals!
这种国家或者地区间的流动很正常。但相比十年前，应该少了非常多非常多。你把中国各省看成一个个香港的话，各省出名的大医院总会吸引很多各地来的病人，包括本市其它医的病人，这造成了不必要的资源紧张，所以现在大陆这边的政策是医保捆绑政策，你在注册地的报销比例是最高的，如果跨区跨省了，可能就只有原来一半左右。还有一项政策，就是你在捆绑你所在区的一家医保医院时（通常都是比较大的公立医院），必须也先绑定一家小的离你家最近的社区医院，引导你小伤小病就地解决，不去占用大医院资源。
very hard to see doctor in time at USA, truth!! real medical for people in China.......
last time I was traveling in US and had to go to hospital..... just registration feel is about 500USD, and after saying the doctor, he told me he was the wrong doctor to treat my issue, and the doctor can treat me not available.... so $500 for nothing
i am in foshan, not chongqing, the best local hospital for the Orthopaedic Hospital is Chinese Medicine Hospital.
my great grandma died in that hospital😢
How much will the hospital stay cost (including surgery)?
Recover soon. Good luck.
You forgot to mention the bill amount.
He mention in the comments it's rmb35000 in total
@@tonyh7158 Thanks. $5000 That's less than 2 hours of emergency room in the USA.
I had 3 screws and a plate removed from an ankle fracture by a specialist in sg and it cost my $12000 😢
That looks like the lobby of a 5-star hotel.
China's metro systems, of which there are many, are equally impressive. The stations are like underground palaces.
如果你去一家私立医院或者牙科医院，你会以为进了什么主题建筑，咖啡馆，艺术主题馆之类。很漂亮，不会让你有看病的压力。

curious how much it costs after insurance coverage.
医院有医保目录的药和目录外的药，只要开目录内的都能报销。目录外的特殊药，比如癌症化疗后用来增强免疫的白蛋白，就不能进入保险。另外手术，住院这些可以进入保险，但是大多数的检测检查类的费用，是需要自费的。比如血友病人，你需要的八因子药物，个人只需要承担一年2万元人民币，然后全年的用药都会保险承担，但你去做CT，核测共振检测关节这些费用 ，则需要你自行承担。总的来说，对长期，重大，慢性病来说保险更高比例。短期，突发，急诊型的，进入保险的比例比较低。但通常都能为普通中国家庭能接受。
What was the cost
Only in China.....Amazing 😂😂
中国绝大部分的医院都是公立医院。曾经有过是否需要把医院私营化的争论，但是现在从结果看来还是应该公立医院为主才是最好的。医疗系统也是腐败问题的重灾区，通常是医药公司为了他们更高的利润而给医生回扣。最近几年政府对医院审计更加严格。另外，政府对于常用药集中采购，这个价格通常远低于医药公司的报价。
Let’s see, Alex still can’t speak a lick of Chinese and he’s an expert on China. lol. That’s amazing!
Thats a terrible Break
It felt terrible. I can assure you. Thankfully, they did a grand job with my operation, and I was so desperate for the procedure I was actually looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, hospitals and healthcares are falling down in Europe.
There is no private bed isn't it.
If you are willing to pay more, you could get a private room, but people are used to share the room in China.
@RedHotTopicsNow thanks for the inflation.
The floors do have one or two private rooms, but considering the sheer number of patients, I was just happy to secure a bed on the first night.
三人间床位费是50，单人间床位费是800…除非特别有钱或者特殊情况，不然三人间更好😊
@@NanaCan-gw3ol 这家医院的病床供不应求，所以没有太过在意病友人数，反正多人间有好有坏，虽然缺乏私人空间，氛围肯定要热闹些，这里床费是60元一天，陪同人才10元，但是要睡折叠式座椅
Maybe you haven’t noticed, this is actually an army hospital, and you may have been implanted with a 5G brain washing device. 😆😆😆(OK, I'm just kidding.)
My dad got run over by a car in China. We got a doctor from another city through "doctor agency" and had to give "red envelope" with money (in hiding) so he is motivated to operate on our dad properly. Not everything is shining there either. You need connections and extra money to get good doctors to operate on you.
You may have made a mistake, in your situation in China, you have hired a flying knife doctor
The general meaning of the doctor's "flying knife" is: the act of a doctor using various means of transportation to other hospitals during their own rest time and being invited to perform surgery
This is allowed in China, so it is his additional income. You must have already negotiated the price before this. It is an equivalent transaction
You can also choose not to accept the services of the Flying Knife Doctor and instead go to the hospital where the Flying Knife Doctor is located to make an appointment for his registration
Of course, if you think both the cost and time are appropriate
@@杨诗全-d9s oh he was in life and death situation so no choice of going other place. Local doc was refusing to operate.
That's an enterance of a presidential complex or a 5 star hotel and not a hospital...
What? 16 days? You probably only were allowed to stay in the hospital for just one or two days in US, but the cost probably will be more than what you paid there for 16-day stay.
16
It was a long stay. Most of the fellow patients came and went after a few days. It was a serious break, so they needed a long time to control the swelling pre-op, and the observation period was another five days or so. No complaints though, the hospital was top notch.
Health care is not entirely free in china. If you are poor, life isn't that great. If you live in England every one has the same health care service. Nearly 643000 people went bankrupt because they couldn't pay medical bill in America each year. At least this won't happen in china.
yeah but china is communist, and there are subsidies alr?
In China, even if you can't afford the cost. If your condition is severe, treatment will be arranged first, and then the expenses will be reimbursed. We will never let anyone wait to die.
everyone has read/heard about the huge problems the NHS is now going through. In fact there are plans - aren`t there - to make it insurence based rather than a tax based paid for system. Singapore has a fairly good method of insurance based health care - Hong Kong hasa both public and private with a growing interface between the two and government paid for scheme for elderly to get free private health care. the problem for the NHS is UK government military spending.
lmao the name tag 《J*MES》
Ward is too crowded not good if the next bed has respiratory disease. You can see the nurse has little room to move in case of emergency procedure 🤔
您需要知道，中国人口数量很庞大，而医疗资源有限，在保证基础活动空间的情况下，增加床位并不是坏事，这样能让更多的人及时得到治疗。如果你需要独处，他们也会提供VIP病房，但你需要支付更多的钱😂。另外你提到的呼吸道疾病病人，除非你在急诊科就医，不然你是不会遇到不同科室的病人的，简单点说就是他们会区分不同病人在不同区域入住
Your concern is non sense in China.
The respiration disease patient will stay in different departments with air circulation control.
This is only for orthopedic patients.
Patients with respiratory diseases will be assigned independent wards. Of course, if ordinary patients want to stay in a single ward, it is also possible, with only an additional fee. This depends on the patient's own choice.
different wards for different issues!
我知道外国的医生一天接诊多少，如果是中国医生一个上午的需要接诊30-50个病人，也就平均一位病人约3分钟的时间。所以在这个强度下，才能保证大多数病人当天来当天就能看上病甚至检测出结果，得到医院开出的药。如果医院减少三分二的接诊数，每个病人都可以享受VIP的服务。

If china is so good in hospital management and services, then why cant they stop a single virus from spreading across the world,in hospitals?😮
因为美国说这是只针对黄种人基因的病毒，所以你们并不在意，只是没想到病毒变种的速度如此之快。直到今天我都很疑惑他们来到中国的中心点武汉参加运动会，强大的美国军人颗粒无收匆匆回国，然后武汉就爆发了疫情。
😂😂 你是不是忘记了？ 中国在2周内已经控制疫情了，一个月后基本全国开放了，后面是国外的国家一直没有控制好，
我怀疑其他的国家有没有应急的传染病处理方案……
The United States is the most powerful country in the world, possessing the highest medical technology. Why does the United States have the most deaths from COVID-19 in the world?
China's population is several times that of the United States. Why is China far less likely to die of COVID-19 than the United States? That's because China's public health governance is already the best in the world.
If we hope that China can prevent the virus from spreading globally. That's very simple. It only needs that all countries in the world are under the leadership of the CPC. Otherwise, the Chinese government can only manage its own country well. Whether others are dead or alive, we are powerless.
美国航母上的士兵感染病毒也是中国传播的？别说笑了😂
而且这病毒🦠是美国那生物实验室制造并故意在世界军人运动会开幕式时候在武汉投放的，俄罗斯已经公开证据
This video is just a personal story and very little about China hospital care and its distinguishing features. In other words, a waste of time.
So you have seen part 2 and 3 ?
@monipenny408 , You are quick to judge. Who is talking about China bashing? Also, the title is misleading as there was nothing in the video but a smattering of observations such as those elevator face photos. And how were viewers to know about the other parts when there was no mention of it? It's just an amateurly made video of his friend which is better titled "My friend's broken arm in a Changdoo hospital" which wouldn't have interested me the least.
如果你稍为认真的观察，你能看到大量的中国医院护理及特色。换句话说，你看视频时没带上你的脑子。
Guess he does not have insurance in China or the cost will not be so high. Usually, Chinese people can save 70% by insurance. 保險報銷

很多城市都有，不同的军种都有自己的医院，主要是大多都对外开放的。军民两用。南宁的303医院，我读书时就去看过病。广州有157医院，
这在中国非常普遍。对当地民众来说，在部队医院看病和在非部队医院看病没什么区别，唯一不同的是，部队医院的医生都是军人编制（也就是说医生都军人），对军人就诊有优先
