    Can I just say that I love your honesty? I laughed so hard, on the hospital’s story, because I totally agree with you and I could picture your face when you experienced that hospital. Absurd the smoking in and around hospitals, but it is the reality. I absolutely hate this in Italy, many people smoke and like you, coming from California, where there are strict rules, it is hard to swallow.

      Thank you!!! I don’t want to offend anyone here but I do have to be honest and honor my actual experience. It is funny looking back on it and I really hope they have cleaned up that hospital!!! It was a horror show!!

    Thanks for this video... I will be retiring in Calabria in a few years and cannot wait! That hospital sounded pretty bad... but all hospitals are not created equal in Italy AND the United States. I remember my sister ended up in the County hospital in LA and she said it was the worst experience of her life...it was very busy not enough beds... not enough nurses and doctors almost bleed to death ...homeless people and the odors were very bad...this was about 6yrs ago...
    You're right about Milano, I had to go to the hospital there while on vacation, I was treated so well. It was very 5 star and didn't pay a dime after my treatment.
    So glad you were able to have your baby in a nice place with a private room... in the US that will cost you a pretty penny.
    Love your channel, very informative and honest.

    In 2001 when my grandmother dies we went to visit her in the hospital and I was horrified. My family from there was not. But the first thing that struck me bizarre was when we were sitting outside of a room waiting to get in the doctor approached us with a lit cigarette hanging from his lips. Then we went into a room, it was summer and like 100 degrees in the room no a/c and there were 20 patients in that room and there was a shortage of ventilators. Not to mention the hospital looked like an abandoned mental hospital. It was truly shocking. Ive heard its a bit better now.

    I’m considering Scalea. I’m retired so I’m older than you. Medical care is very important. I’m healthy and in good shape, but things happen…. I’ve seen hospitals in Medellin. They are better than hospitals where I live in Florida ! I’ve been to doctors in Puglia. Excellent. I didn’t check out anything further. In May I’ll be in Calabria and Puglia researching where I will live. I plan on moving to Italy next March. I am a dual citizen. Im looking at areas with 7% flat tax. Thank you for your experience.

      RIGHT!! Colombia was such a suprise for me!!! The hospitals there were incredible, and side note, I loved loved loved Medellin... what a great place. But yes, Scalea is a great area, many happy retirees there living a great life, and I know there are great private hospitals up there too.
