I was admitted to KPJ Specialist last year. The day i was registered, they took blood for lab test, and send to ward for rest. The next day, the doctor came, check and ask me to go for MRI, X Ray. The next morning doctor came and ask me to start fasting. On the afternoon my operation started. I had to stay for 1 week for pnumonia and now, back to health. For most of the time in ward, they asked me to go rest and sleep. I feel like it was my 1 week holiday without need to think about work😂
It sounds like a fishing expedition frankly. Simple fasting would probably solve most of the problems due to eating bad food. 😂
@@mcgdoc9546 it was really fast and efficient i would say. If i admit into government hospital it would be more than 1 month procedure but the total costs of it almost 60k😂. But the government’s hospital costs less than. 300 ringgit. But pneumonia will not solve by just simple fasting. They need to suck all the water inside lung and keep antibiotic for quite sometimes
Not true. The govt hospitals are fast n immediate with urgent cases as in my relative's pneumonia case. Cost RM500 @ the max they can charge for senior citizens
Of course is different service between Government & private hospital. The Govern. Hosital more patient for sure the prosedure take more time. But the cost is cheaper. RM1 for registration & the rest all free for Malaysian Citizen.
what are the cost of surgery there
Aren't you lucky to be treated that well and cheap in Malaysia? As you know, we (UK) don't really have that wonderful mixture of private and public health care like they do over there. It's either one or the other. How I wished we do have, because then at least you can have a second (or first) opinion. Free NHS is great, but it's a massive bureaucratic behemoth and it's lagging behind as you yourself confirmed. To do that many tests (still not as comprehensive as you had) pretty much all at once, you'd have to be admitted to E&A, otherwise it's a long wait. Glad your health has improved. Simple advice: Eat healthily and exercise! Wished NHS can learn a few tricks from Malaysia. Funny thing is that many of their health professionals are trained abroad, quite a few from the UK! And they then go on to improve their health care/services.
Glad that you are now in good hands in Malaysia.. take care and stay safe.. Malaysia has one of the best Medical Tourisms in the world.
Glad to see you’re feeling better. We have good universal healthcare in Canada but would never have access to all these tests and specialists in that timeframe. Sending you positive vibes and hoping that things keep improving 🤞💕
so a good Tips So go to Malaysia if you got Health issue, Go to have your medical treatment there and touring around!!! Stay in cold weather like a freezer not so good for your humanly body,You not A Draconian Dragon or a polar bear!!! save some money then take your journey,then eat Hot and Spicy food in Malaysia To detox and clean your Stomach,Decades of your stinky foods and drinks,since Malaysia is a majority muslims Country,i think its a better Chance to quit Alcoholic Drinks for a moment!!! if you can quit for good its better i think Malaysian Government need to make New Visa with Long period!!! like call it Medical Treatment Visa that can be gained with Hospitals Backup info and the time to stay like more than 8 months!!! In here Saudi we got visa extension if we got support or backup info from Hospitals or Doctors!!!
We have 'universal' health care in Canada? Hardly universal: many services are de-listed, i.e., you can't get 'em, and hardly good unless you're prepared to live with your condition while on the waiting list... and many people die on such lists. So good? No. Universal? No. Free? Consult your tax bill. I'm leaving Canada to get the health care I cannot get in Canada.
So glad you got to bottom of issue. Amazing you can get all that done so quickly. In Canada we have good healthcare but wait times are horrendous. To have so many specialists and tests done same day is amazing and well worth cost. Very reasonable
So go to Malaysia if you got Healt issue, i think Malaysian Government need to make New Visa with Long period!!! like call it Medical Treatment Visa that can be gained with Hospitals Backup info and the time to stay like more than 8 months!!! In here Saudi we got visa extension if we got support or backup info from Hospitals or Doctors!!!
Thanks for your comments on Malaysia's private health care. Yes they are world class and fairly efficient and extremely affordable. 👏
Good to know that the condition of your health improved a lot now ... as we aged, it is important to be more careful with the food that we consume, the amount of rest as well as the need to reduce on alcohol intake if not totally stop taking any at all. I am 65 and alhamdullillah I am quite healthy and have not experienced any health issues. What I had and is still practising is that I fast two days in a week ie.on every monday and thursday... maybe you and your wife could try this new challenge ! 😄 ... anyway, I wish you all the best, take care and stay safe always ... you are always welcome to come back to Msia for medical treatment 🌺🐈⬛🐈🐒💐
alhamdulillah. This video will reach a lot of people around the globe. I hope!
Thank you so much. I hope it helps many people.
That is amazingly affordable. In the US, a 5 min consult with a doctor is like $300 without insurance. Even with insurance, the out of pocket costs for all those procedures would be be much more than what you paid. Get well soon!
OMG, what's wrong with the States medicare??
And they are going to private health care. I usually tell my American friends that the cost of giving birth in the govt hospital is cheaper than a drink in Starbucks
I am not sure what your consultation is about? Is it like a normal flue or fever that cost you that much? Here in Malaysia if you have a flue you go to a small clinic/shop, you don't go to a hospital for minor illness like that. It will cost you like 30-50 ringgit & that includes the medicine price, consultation alone not including medicine is probably like RM 20. I noticed the problem with privatizing all of the healthcare industry like the US is, there is no other alternatives to a more affordable healthcare. Everything is private and since people have no other alternatives, the hospitals can charge you ridiculous fees. Pharmacies can charge you ridiculous prices because they worked with the hospitals to keep the prices high. Where else in Malaysia where most hospitals are state owned, the government have to ensure cost are minimize to the fullest extent if they don't want a high budget deficit. In the US, I hear so often people are addicted to prescription drugs. It is unheard of in Malaysia for people to be addicted to prescribed drugs. Because government hospitals don't want to waste money paying for medications repeatedly when you are not even that sick. Private hospitals in the US love to make you continue to be dependent on that drugs even though you don't need to so that they can continue charging you consultation fees and Pharmaceutical companies are happier than ever.
$560 for me in the US, seeing the orthopedic for about 10 mins about a fractured collar bone. I showed him the x-ray from the emergency room visit , he suggested a surgery to fix it, surgery will cost about $20k. I have a high deductible health insurance, which the first $12k is out of pocket. I flew back to Malaysia, it’s fixed for less than $25. 😂
It's True; but I am from the USA, and I just came back from Malaysia and is NOT ALL NICE and Top Notch; the Cost is AFFORDABLE IN MALAYSIA; but if you are from the USA, you will be SHOCKED at things they DO there that will Alarm Your GUT. They don't take Certain Precautions that are taken in the USA in order to Avoid Contaminating other patients with the Bodily fluids and Germs of Another Patient. They have medical Knowledge but their Concept of HYGIENE in hospitals in NOT near the same as in the USA. And, Malaysians are NOT what they Say in these UA-cam Videos; Some are really NICE people and humble in a way; but MANY ARE SHADY; liars, Money-Hungry, incredibly Rude & Some Are fake & Anti-American and anti-foreigners.
For cholesterol I took a supplement called tocotrienols made from palm oil.
Specialists you want! If you're into that kind of thing! 🤪 We love your sense of humor! Glad you're doing better! ❤
Hey you two! We are doing really good now thank you! Hope to speak sometime soon!
Glad to have you "back." During our five years in Mexico, we received outstanding medical care at a small fraction of the cost in the US. The five hospitals frequented by expayts were like 5-star hotels. The scare tactic employed in the USA is simply smoke and has not merit. We also paid out of pocket and simply set aside a dedicated charge card for any medical disaster. That's what other expats advised. Bill
Great video as I am an expat in SE Asia it was very useful. I looked at you as you were told you were obese and I think if you compare to people in the USA you are quite slim.Quite funny.
Your cardiologist prescribed just about the exact same regimen that I'm currently on. It took me almost a decade to find a doctor who cared enough to get my bp under control 🙃
Hi Neil, happy to hear that you get to your bottom of your problem in Malaysia. Please do come back for the follow-up. Enjoy your trip and stay healthy!
He better do that.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. As someone who is planning on semi retiring in Penang, your confirmation that the quality of medical care there is excellent checks another box for me. Thank you!
So glad you’re doing better and persisted until you found a better solution for your conditions. We are just a few years from retirement and Malaysia is top on our radar. We look forward to letting our “happy feet” roam again. Stay well. Your good health is your best ticket to happy travels.
Brilliant informative video. Thanks for being so open about it all. What a price! It's worth booking a holiday just to have these tests done. The NHS is failing here (ahem... It's not free!!) Hugs to you & Sarah
I’m so happy you were there and they found the right treatment for you. If you were on Canada it would have done all those appointments in 2 years or so or you’d be dead by now. Can’t wait to hear all about the exercise regimen and if they recommended you some kind of diet. Stay well you and Sarah.
Very good of you to take the time to upload this . I do hope you feel better , it’s a hectic schedule you have and the tropics are unforgiving . I’m 60 myself and have been travelling for nine months , another month to do then back to the uk but lugging a backpack about across the tropics is hard work, tired now . Good luck .
Hi Neil, thanks for sharing all this, I hope you and Sarah are doing better. It is very good of you to share all this no doubt stressful experience on UA-cam. My mother has suffered with high blood pressure for decades. She does not watch her weight or exercise (despite constant nagging) and it has progressively impacted her ability to do things. Sounds like you have the opportunity to put diet and exercise first. I know that is not an easy challenge. I wish you both the best and I am looking forward to following you for many years.😊
First off, I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Also, very helpful information and the cost is extremely low in my humble American opinion!
With your health condition, probably the weather is too hot for you to walk around in Malaysia, you need to keep your trip less hectic, easy and stress free. Stay safe and healthy. Cheer...
So glad you are feeling better and that you found Dr's that listened to you. Bp and inner ear stuff is awful. All of those services would have been more than 3 times what you paid in the USA. The most important thing as we get older is to make sure our Drs are listening to us. Drs like to push it off as age. Glad you kept going for answers.
Double chin + moobs - says it all. However, you are mentally 100% and you just need to excercise and watch your diet. 8000 steps per day will do it. HOWEVER - YOU MUST PUSH YOURSELF HARD - UNTIL YOU SWEAT. A gentle stroll achieves nothing. The high humidity and lack of sleep in Asia does not always help. Good luck. Once you have had a good kick up the pants - it means you will make a big effort with excercise and diet now. Minimise salt + coffee + alcohol + deserts + carbohydrates.
Happy to hear you're feeling so much better! Must be an huge weight of your mind. Did i miss something or did you not say what the actual diagnosis was? Was it your blood pressure?
Hi Neil and Sarah, Glad you are able to get tests done and are on the right path. Americans will be stunned at how cheap and the great quality you are experiencing in Malaysia! The scare will keep you on the less alcohol, eating better, more exercise and weight loss path. Being British or American, it is difficult to really get a feel for our lifestyles since compared to most you are doing much better than an awful average. I didn’t consider myself overweight until my Japanese colleagues chose me to play Santa Claus at the Christmas party when I used to live there! My commentary is not intended to dismiss the likely real health issues you are dealing with, but you and Sarah have another 40 years to go and lifestyle matters! We have witnessed the changes from your early days in Mexico where you had some UK cravings! By the way, I have been on the road for over 3 months with my flat let out in Honolulu for 6 months! Cheers, Rod
@@ST-ff7pf I would be happy to do that except that there is a 3 month minimum per the condominium policy. At the moment I am using Vacasa who are horrible (Airbnb isn't allowed) The current tenant is in for 6 months and is apparently initiating a lawsuit against Vacasa due to their ineptness. Ideally, I am looking for someone who wants it for at least 3 months, but no more than 6 months - Vacasa has it rented out at USD 4,500 a month - given that they have "hidden" fees and other indirect costs I am getting less than USD 3,500 which I would be fine with doing directly. Let me know if a longer term rental could interest you - it is in East Oahu and has amazing amenities (pools, gardens, barbecue pits..) and is well furnished with nice mountain, sea and marina views.
So happy to see you looking and sounding better. Sure, there may be some lifestyle and diet changes in your future, but better that than stroking out, yeah? It's all selfish self-interest on my part, as I love your videos and want you and Sara to continue making them for years to come! Cheers to both of you. Stay healthy.
Glad to see you feeling better Neil! Malaysia does have a very good medical care. Dr.Lim is really a cool and good doc. Malaysia and Thailand are well known for their medical tourism due to the fantastic care and costs
Hi Neil,
You know I have been following you both from way back,when you had a couple of hundred followers.
I say as a friend .Stop and go back to the UK.
This is no way to enjoy your retirement my friend.
You need to get your health sorted 100% if you are going to travel for 10 years.
Please go back,get treated in the UK ,stop drinking ,see a dietician ( Eating Subway is not healthy its totally processed food)
You need to lose weight( By exercise and diet from healthy food made at home not in a restaurant)
Taking 5 different drugs is not the way my friend
Diet and exercise will cure you,drugs will just control health problems not cure.
You know deep down that you are not living healthy Neil,this is your wake up call,you need a drastic change. Also when you feel better its not ok I can go back to my old ways now.......its ok this is my new life and im sticking to it.
I really hope you are ok with my lecture.I am saying as someone who wants you well.
UA-cam can wait Neil its not going anywhere for now.
Glad to hear that our health facilities been able to help with ur health issues. Alhamdulillah.. Hope u will fill better soon.. All the best for ur future travel plans.. Do take care of ur self n take the medicine in time as prescribed..
So glad you got the health assessment ❤ it’s hard to stay positive when you’re not feeling good! Stay safe and healthy 😊
Excellent video, thank you for that. My biggest concern about travelling is medical access, the fact that your medical issue may well not have been sorted without travelling is a wake up call to me in that regard. So glad they were able to get you sorted so we can continue to travel vicariously ;) PS Put more Sara on the next one LOL
What a turn round Neil glad your feeling better carry on with your videos they are brilliant
I was so relieved to hear there is a solution to your health issues. I hope it's still working for you. I have to reach out to Sarah to wish her well because I know how stressful it is when your spouse is having medical issues. So stressful for both of you. I can't believe how low the medical costs were. I hope today you are feeling better than your old self considering the high blood pressure. And BTW I never would have guessed that you would be in the obese category! You look marvelous! Wishing you both the best!
I had similar symptoms after a Covid booster. Happened on he 5th day. Recovering slowly.
So happy to see you feeling better. Looking forward to you and Sarah continuing your travels and share them with us.
The health service you have received has eased my mind to travelling more.
It's not often I laugh out loud watching youtube, but your dietitian description did it for me!!! So glad I wasn't in public. x
Good to hear you are on the mend Neil! I would have liked to have heard more about lifestyle changes that may help you to come off the drugs. Everything in moderation food, alcohol, caffeine and regular exercise. The health assessment was very thorough and I think extremely affordable . Thanks for sharing and stay well 👏
Neil, glad you are doing better. You never indicated what you think made the difference in the way you are feeling. What was the "fix"? I hope you are both doing well.
Brilliant video with so much useful information. So glad you are feeling better & most importantly that your blood pressure is back to normal.
My heart sings when I hear of another person understanding how dismissive our "first world" medical care is. I just roll my eyes when people ask me how I manage without Canadian health care. Personally, I have never been treated better (as a human being) by doctors & dentists in foreign countries. I'll take medical care from those "supposedly" 3rd world countries any day over the assembly line process they call medicine in Canada.
Looking forward to the next video.
Great video, thanks for sharing your story. We agree with your asseessment about Malaysia's top notch medical care. We are hoping you enjoy good health as you continue your travel adventures around the world.
I'm so glad you're feeling better. Really appreciate these types of videos that show the ins and outs of dealing with real life on the road. It's not always beautiful views and tasty treats. Thanks for letting us peek behind the curtain. Also, your financial videos (I've watched them all) really helped me shift the way I manage finances and have my husband and I on a better track then we were. Pat yourself on the back and take the bow. You've changed two lives for the better with just those videos. Thank you.
Thank you! Amazing that we have made a difference for you. That has made our day!!!
Best regards,
Neil & Sarah
Yipes. That would cost you 20,000 plus in US.
Nevertheless, keep chill coz there are always silver linings to these sort of circumstances. You’ve been terrific so far n Malaysian hospitality will always b here for ya. Cheers
Mr 2Go Roam : I think you can extend your visa. Ask Immigration & tell them you have medical check up to do here..
WOW what a journey! Glad you got to the bottom of the problem
I’m glad you’re feeling better. Out of curiosity, as I’ve watched your videos I’ve noted that you seemed to get worse after you had COVID. Did anyone ever suggest that had aggravated your cardiac health? Not uncommon. Do take care. You two have become members of the family.
I am glad you got to the bottom of what was ailing you, Neil. Hope you and Sarah can relax now and feel less weight on your shoulders, and just enjoy the next chapter of your slow travels. I appreciate you sharing this medical journey w us. The total cost was phenomenal, and the level of care you received sounds brilliant 👏🏻 👌🏻 Look forward to your next video! Have a fabulous week!
I had post viral vertigo it lasted a few years on and off. It’s called BVP and is a balance disorder. Occasionally now after a cold I’ll get a few days of it- but I now know what I need to do. BTW when you’ve got the symptoms alcohol and caffeine make it worse.
wow that is cheap. In KL health check can come out to RM2000.! You better check with cardio. Could be some of your blood veins to your head obstructed. I had almost same symptoms . I had 3 stents . And the headache disappear.
Hope you get to the bottom of this soon Neil as I know it can be very worrying not knowing what’s going on. Good to know the health care system is doing a good job in Malaysia and also isn’t charging an arm and a leg for its services. All the best to both you and Sarah and take care.
Amazing document of your extraordinary experience in Malaysia. I am glad the doctors managed to fix some of your problems. With all those consultation, tests and medicines I think the costs were quite acceptable (especially for a foreigner). I pray you will be getting better and better going forward.
All the ~gist consultancy costs are higher than other costs. And they are usually foreign trained from UK, US. 😀
I'm Malaysian, i went to a public clinic called the Titiwangsa KKM, it's like a one stop centre clinic where there are certain specialists there instead of just GPs. Paid RM1 (USD 0.20) lol, to have my eyes checked (astigmatism) then it turned out that i had an eye condition called Keratoconus 😢, well, they did thorough examination on my eyes, and along with explanation and what to do, just for RM1! The waiting time wasn't even that long, took me only 25 minutes before i was summoned to the room 😮😮
when you die, you cannot sue them. YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER AFTER ALL THOSE TESTS.
I m surprised by ur UK consultation coz UK was meant to teach n train doctors for global need. Furthermore studying Medicine in UK is a financial burden to parents, however that was thought to be the best?
*Welcome to Malaysia truly Asia good food enjoyed. Thanks for sharing this very good video*
🇲🇾♥️💝❤️🩹💗💖😍🥰🤩💖💗❤️🩹🇲🇾
Give it a good 3-6 months and you should be able to get off all medicine and feel great maybe even 20 years younger.
All I say is do your research on keto- carnivore and intermittent fasting.
I did it myself and it saved my life!
Dude, state the problem you have, hospital you went to in Penang, and how much. High blood pressure needs to be checked and taken care of before you are at high risk of strokes and kidney failure.
That Chinese hospital has many indonesian visitors. Lam Wah Ee.
Most private hospitals in Penang fulled with Indonesian esp Chinese Indonesian.
@@salinamdnoor603 melaka too
might need electrolytes body needs 4700 mg of potassium - all shared is usa stuff or low vit d
Hopefully this is you on the mend Neil. Looking forward to seeing where you are next. 🤙 Stay safe guys.
I am relieved you are better..feeling better is much more of a relief than the costs..🙏🙏🙏
at your age you should avoid fast food, it's like eating straight out of a bin
I have enjoyed this video a lot so thanks for taking the time to record and share. Mustn't be easy with your neighbour who was addicted to "hitting" things ! 😂 I found your description 😂😂.
Glad you are feeling better, long may it stay that way. Take care 👋🤗
Great video and so helpful for those of us who travel and are over the hill. Thanks!
Incredible care, incredibly fast, and incredibly affordable. That would take 6 months where I live and only if our primary care doctor and insurance signed off on the tests!
Just a question mister did you take the covid Jab ?
Yes my husband had a heart attack and 5 stents exactly 7 days after is jab.
8:34 you described my dietitian perfectly 🤣🤣
Great to hear you are feeling better! That was an exhaustive video and really, really useful! Well done.
Medisafe, good idea. I got myself a fitbit, track heart rate, sleep pattern etc, blue tooth with phone. Get those daily 10000 steps in, 😁
.What i found lowers blood pressure best is Raw garlic crushed and steeped in olive oil later use liberally every day.
I really think when given information from cardiologist you need Sara with you, sometimes you only hear what you want to hear, consequently you don’t ask the right questions.
Wow! I have paid more to have my car serviced in Canada!
I was wondering if turning in your claim would benefit you if you did have a large claim later in the year because it would count against your deductible most likely. At least that's how it works in the USA. Cumulative for the year.
Neil, so glad their found the problem and gave you the right treatment. Certainly, not a high cost and timing comparing with experiences in Australia. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to new videos, now you feel ok.
Malaysia has a lot of Australians retiring here on the M2H visa. Some just come for medical care esp dental.
Thank goodness you are feeling better! This video was quite the roller coaster, I found myself worried sick for 3/4ths of the program!
After experiencing some similar symptoms to yours, my friend recommended Dr. Michael Greger’s book, How Not to Die. (He also has a UA-cam channel called Nutrition Facts.) I completely changed my diet according to the book, and have never felt better.
Like you and Sarah, I was frequently eating on the go. Unfortunately, restaurant and packaged foods are loaded with sodium. It’s really too bad we feel the need to alter our food so much to be palatable.
Thanks for sharing this. I e read the book you mentioned but didn’t know about the UA-cam channel nutrition facts
When you took out your Safety Wings travel insurance I suspect you had to declare your hypertension as a preexisting condition? If so would all of your costs even be covered if you chose to claim?
Seems we are always following the same things, but with me over 10 years older ! In October before I went to Thailand for a month my doctor wanted to re asses my blood pressure tablets, I’ve been on them 20 years !
So he decided to do it on my return, but no sooner than I returned I was off again and I’m finally seeing him this Wednesday.
The efficiency of the tests out there is remarkable & it’s good to see your feeling better.
I only wanted to travel for a year, but I’m so close to stopping now and just having holidays
Glad to hear your feeling better.. I was going to ask you did you prefer the uk for hospital but you answered that ... effectively you were private abroad but at a very good price.. it makes me question how good is the NHS system... ?
Thanks for sharing all this personal information. But what was the cause? Was it the high blood pressure? 🤔
study bartonella with dr rawls utubes
I hop between Thailand and Malaysia for any checks. FYI, can even get your heart meds over the counter in both countries, without a prescription, ;-)
In M'sia, the physician will prescribe the meds after consultation for us to get it in their hospitals regardless it's publics (gov) or privates. We do have independent pharmacy to go to, but it's people choice with some limitation. If it's controlled drugs, prescription or approval from expert/ Dr is still required
As a local resident at age 68, I would not recommend Lam Wah Ee Hospital Penang Malaysia for foreigners as in Penang, I rated them 1 star while my choices are Adventist, Gleneagles, Island and Specialists hospitals.
Mr local, I will advise u lam wah ee hospital gives an equal premium services, at the most affordable medical rate at the best services. U can by all means go the the premium hospitals n n compare their charges bill to theirs.U pay the costs of investment building the new wing, definitely those LWE not able to refurbish as such but they give excellent service
Definitely not just you! I can turn a hangnail into a terminal illness. 🤣🤣 I developed tinnitus a couple of years ago and my reaction at first was that I had an inoperable tumour. We anxious types can wind ourselves up very easily but it takes us a LOT of effort to calm our bodies.
Hi! Msian here. Interesting to know some of your meds are similar to my moms. So what is your official diagnosis? My mom have high BP and high cholesterol. Me too have high cholesterol so I'm taking statin meds. But my mom takes statin and amlodipine. So she has high BP n cholesterol. Sometimes she does feels dizzy when her BP is rocketing. Only sometimes, not all the time like you. Thank god finally your meds works. I was about to suggest you go to govt hospitals like Hospital Kuala Lumpur where it is well known the hospital has all the specialist and best doctors there. We locals knew that public hospitals are better than private hospital. All hard cases are handled by govt hospitals bc the doctors are way more experienced and experts in their field. Whenever there's tough medical case, private hospitals will turn you down and refers you to the public hospital. If you think you need more opinion into what you're having, go to the HKL and ask to see the specialist directly. And i assure you the costs are significantly way lower than private hospitals.
Problem is I am not certain public hospital is for foreigners. When I was in a gov clinic, a myanmar migrant worker came and was scolded by the reception.
@Keang Wooi Choo really? Why? I saw a sign behind the counter says foreigner fees starts at rm40. This is at klinik kesihatan
@@keangwooichoo6138 it is opened for foreigner but maybe the queue will be long..
Government hospital in Malaysia is for all
@@keangwooichoo6138 if you are not certain don't make such a misleading comment. I took my company's foreign workers in a work related accident to a Government Hospital and they were immediately attended to. They were charged the foreigner rates.
So happy to hear you are doing so much better. Very useful info. Thank you
I hope this makes you feel better. I am sure if you had been told to do all of this back in the uk it would have solved it earlier but it would have cost a fortune.
Great work raw material video content informative 👍
great news, glad Ur better NHS is broken🙁 xx v
Did you consider that given your health issues it might be wise to cut out alcohol?
I'm wondering if you actually watched the video to the end?
What a scare you Got. Im so glad you feelbetter at last. Love to both of you
that's a lot of medicines. glad to hear your health improved.
Hello friend.Sir, which healthcare insurance - do you choose that helps us can have insurance costs covered.
glad that finally u got solved asap but is really sucks in uk giving u the reasons each 6 months appointment, and as i am a asian i thought uk medical better than malaysia. God bless u and your wife.
Hey!
Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment! Yes it is interesting how different it is down here!
Best regards,
Neil & Sarah
Thank you so much for a very informative video. Best of luck with you improving your health. I hope your quitting alcohol is beneficial. I'm working on cutting sugar out. I'll never escape it completely but I can stop the big stuff for sure. I really believe the quality of my health is directly dependent on the quality of my diet. Changing diet sure is a challenge.
What hospital you were at in Penang? Do you recommend it? Be well
It was called The Island Hospital. Very efficient and well priced, We will be using it again for sure.
An apple a day, ...
