Go to a real hospital, with real doctors.

If it's serious, fly home, and seek treatment in Ozz. You'll probably spend loads of dough, but......

I didn't do any surgeries in China as of yet. I often repair my 'chew' in China for 1/10th of the EU price, and I have few working dentists in my family.

When I'm home, we (they) always inspect Chinese dental work, and comments are 'not bad'.

When I tell them cost of the repair, they all go 'woow'.

I had surgery in China...........no choice of mine.......i had been a ski racer, downhill 70 mph plus, rode motorcycles in China for three years, etc....never broke anything doing this, then playing on the beach in deep sand, they added more in front of the hotel I believe, got twisted up running around playing catch and broke my femur!   ouch...what to do,, fortunately, I had 7 friends put me on a strecher, the guys who came were going to rough me up in the process, they carried me to the ambulance, no special gurny on the inside, five friends held me from being tossed around in this bare naked ambulance floor, on off we went....Yes I wish I could go to Hong Kong, but too much pain, had to lay on my side, ended up at a Peoples Hospital....really preffered to go to an Army Hospital, thinking better trained and they see this kind of thing more often but it was 25 kilometers away and I couldn't think clearly enough to request it......And I was hoping for a dislocated leg not a broken one..................

anyway, I felt confident in my surgeon and I was told he had training in Germany..but he spoke no English.... Called my girlfriend after admitted to the hospital and she flew in that evening.  My Chinese is somewhat adequate..but not enough and she's Chinese.

Ok, so its broken in two places..........they wanted to delay surgery for four days and i was ready to crawl out of the hospital at that point and go to the army hospital. WTF.  anyway they a conference about my condition and decided to do it the next morning.  So I was prepared for surgery, checked my heart etc...

Anastesiologist offered waist down numbing or put me under..    I said I dont want to hear the sawing of my bones thank you...of course it costs more but who give as shit.  Speaking of costs,,,it was about 7000 USD for everything, and I had extra medicine drips to assure bone growth and antibiotics....  Keep in mind, hospital cost per day is a whopping, he he 3USD and to change my hospital pjs only 50 cents...............nurses to check by ass for laying on the bed all day was about one dollar........cheap no

so i guess the cost was all in Two Titaninum rods and one screw, surgery costs, Surgeon fee, gas doctor fee, and liquid medicine.

I dont have insurance anywhere in the world. and i dont know how much it would have cost in the USA but,,, to stay in the hospital per day is probably pushing 500 usd

so I stayed extra days in the hospital so cheap and my apartment isnt wheel chair friendly.

the one thing i must mentioned... my GF stayed 24/10days with me, as she had to go out and get food for every meal, one dollar for her to sleep in a bed near me, she helped me go the bathroom on the bed, etc..  No handicapped bars around the toilet or anywhere in the room, no TV, I was in a shared room, fortunately the person I shared the room left after 5 days.

the doctors checked on me everyday...i actually had two, both seem sharp...

one other thing... they werent too keen on giving me pain medication, and the injections for pain did little to lessen the pain...

my response isn't a heck of a lot different than killercat.

Pretty darn active all my life, then got well & truly fkd by nature or god or devil or someone....  fkn seizures.  (pretty damn good reason to pull the plug) I been to hospital in china twice for this. and everywhere else, Thailand and US.

anyhow last year I fell and smashed my patella, comminuted fracture.  this was in Luohu, SZ.  Chinese mate brings me over to Peoples Hospital 1.  I guess I got good treatment cuz American white guy with good insurance.  just like Cat said , they are not into giving pain meds and I was doing what I would call a 9/10 pain.  then they made me wait 6 days for swelling to subside.  well, now I know what fkn pain is anyway.  hard to describe, just wouldn't wish it on anybody.

anyway my hospital/surgery experience was excellent.  I was really surprised. they really took good care of me and were very empathetic which helped more than u know.  I felt like killing myself to be honest, just too much of a pussy to do it.  the surgeon was excellent in my opinion.  but for those of u have never been in surgery, it is a fkn horrific experience.  I guess it gets a person ready to face death.  that's why old people always admonish young people to be careful.  hurting your body sux more than u can realise.  If you can run and jump u should cherish it!  Be soooooo careful in china.

of course, I would still say u are taking a chance in china regarding anything medical.

*I have a funny horror story about the surgery if anyone wants to hear it....

If it was serious I would go home. If it was minor then perhaps an international hospital. I wouldn't go to your average hospital for surgery here. You might wake up with a kidney missing or worse (remember penis transplants are possible now)!

I had an operation here in China last year.. Sensitive area; cyst removed that was attached to one of my testicles. All went well but I did have to laugh at the initial consultation as they offered to circumcise me too, I kindly declined.. On waking after the operation I did check to see all was as it should be, thankfully, it was!

go to thailand the hospitols are like 5 star hotels snd the dovtors got there degreed in the us

I am a USA citizen--Stanford-Trained MD living and working in  Shanghai since 2014. I have been told there is no real hands-on residency training in China. If you are not comfort with your local MD, you can consult with a Western Doc. Expat hospitals should be fine for minor surgeries--first choice is always home country. If too ill--Hong Kong has British Standards and is closest--Singapore next and Bangkok should be considered. Australia is not close but, of course Western Standard. Always seek a second opinion about any surgery. Ask your Physician to lay out for you the risk, benefits and alternatives. I work at Parkway Health (Singapore company) and the care is excellent.
