- Medical Care in the Philippines Baby Mae Rushed into The Emergency Room!@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 Early today Baby Mae was rushed to the emergency room, come along to get a glimpse of medical care in the Philippines
How about "Daddy Paul" ....sounds even more creepy!!!!!!
Let's be honest, if Daddy Paul were rich and famous would you have a problem or even mention it? It's not so much the name as the symbolism implied.
Not creepy at all!!!That is a term of respect and being grateful
@@MarkJohnson-yr8yt Yes Mark your right….
@@Ron-rk6iz angry much?
@@Ron-rk6iz Haha! Ohhhh I see! After a few days of getting flak, NOW it's normal. Good damage control from your earlier negative comment.
Always take care Paul and Mae. God bless to your friend for helping. Priceless and inspiring
So, happy Mae is ok, and thank you for the eye-opening video, Paul. You and Mae are the paradigm of the relationship we all wish we had. You sir are one of my favorite vloggers because of the sincerity and humility you bring to your videos. With your posts many viewers, myself included, get an epiphany of your life in the Philippines. Someday (pandemic permitting) I can experience "my bliss" as the country reopens. Again, so happy you guys are well.
Thanks so much
Boil up some chicken parts with onion. Leek. Pepper salt for about 2 hours. The broth you get is nutritious and easily digestible. BMay to have it 3 times a day. Old grandma recipie for the sick.
I second that. Paul cracks me up with his view on life. AWESOME
What a beautiful story. 👍👍
Concur completely
Great she's okay. It's amazing how reasonable the Philippines is in terms of health care costs. I had food poisoning there I got two IVs and some medication. It was state of the art hospital with immediate Care by three or four nurses whenever I needed them. All I could think was oh my God this is going to cost me at least $5 to 6k. The doctor comes to me and says we don't take US Insurance you're going to have to settle it when you get back to the States. I said all right give me the damage. It was 5,000 pesos $100!!! Cost me more to file the insurance papers then to try to get the $100 back from my insurance company. I love the Philippines and the healthcare is exceptional and the healthcare facilities are exceptional. The immediate attention from the nurses was the greatest part of the stay.
cost me 5k go too er in ky. meds 250 usd.
Great health care COD
Philippines does have great nurses and doctors. Philippines does supply the world with Nurses😊
They are wonderful care workers in nursing homes.
I had a colonoscophy in Cebu a couple months ago. My first medical experience in the Philippines. Best experience of my life in regards to medical people. They were clear, concise, and explained everything completely. Lord knows customer service is lacking in a lot of industries in the Phil, but their health care is top notch.
Hi Paul. Also had a recent experience with HOLY CHILD ER.Was admitted on a Thursday night, viewed by 2 doctors on Friday, had a second leg amputation on Saturday and released on Monday. Am glad that you are changing your previous opinion
of a few years back about the quality of the Health Care in the Philippines. Better admit it, even if you hate admitting when wrong!!!😂😅
Hey Paul, ex medic here. Please go buy a Epi pen. Allergic reactions tend to get worse with each exposure. finding out what she is allergic to is the most important thing you can do. An Epi Pen and Benadryl or diphenhydramine should be kept around at all times. Also good thing to do on YT is to watch what do to when someone is having an anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction that may result in death. Multiple exposure to the allergen can lead to severe anaphylaxis. Don't mean to scare ya bud but the medic in me just came out.
great info. thank you for sharing.
Solid advice! They don't have a long shelf life, so make sure to keep an eye on the expiration date.
Good advice. Watch out for bees, or other insects.
I am glad to read this response. I am catching video a year later and thought what you already wrote. I would suggest though epi pens..more than one
Prayers to Baby Mae, get well soon
Glad everything worked out well. And yeah, having friends over there is really a blessing.
Very Happy out come.. just be thankful 🙏
Yes, thank you
I had to go to emergency room at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center (FL, USA) in the middle of the night, a few months ago. Like Mae it was because of an unknown allergic reaction. They gave me an injection and oral medication, followed by for a couple of hours of observation. Then released me with a 5 day prescription for oral meds.
Good thing we have good medical insurance and have met all our deductibles. Together the bills from the hospital, doctor and the prescription only cost me around $540 USD (equiv. 27,000 PHP).
Without insurance it would’ve been over $2,600 USD (equiv. 130,000+ PHP).
50 bucks doesn’t seem like a bad deal to me.
I wish Mae a speedy recovery!
Have a speedy recovery Mae..good work by the Medical team & friends
Blessed Baby Mae is well….great friends…..God bless you all
Good Intel ! Hope Baby Mae Feels better : )
Doctor consultation, emergency, meds… for an emergency visit I had in Bacolod, $35.00 it blew my mind also. Glad she is getting better.
Praying for a speedy recovery for Mae, sounds like she is on her way. I live here in the Philippines with my wife and kids and we have made a few trips to the doctor it's very affordable for health care here. I have Philhealth for the wife too in case of major issues. Thanks God we have never had any problems. Take care always.
May God keep her safe. She is such a sweetheart. You guys stay safe. Wow medical and medicine is cheap in Philippines🇵🇭 compare to other countries. Good to know and always blessing to have good friends.
I'm so glad everything turned out ok for Baby Mae... it could have easily been life-threatening, so that's a big praise God! Many years ago, I had the same thing happen to me. As it turned out, it was an allergic reaction to a new laundry detergent my ex-wife had switched to. I think it would be prudent for you and Mae to look at anything she might have either ingested or come into contact with up to 24 hours prior to her symptoms. Praying for her speedy recovery.
Glad that Mae is doing fine and out of danger. At the end of the day, that is all that matters.
Good friends are irreplaceable. I’m happy everything worked out!
Praise God for the medical help and provision.
Good job Gary and Paul on your quick response to help baby mae. Prayers to touch a healing hand on baby mae . God bless
Glad things worked out it's funny you mentioned about Mae not telling you she's unwell.
Win had an allergic reaction to a new skin cream had to rush her to emergency as well now she sneezes and waits for me to ask if she ok .
I had one visit to ER in Manila in Jan. '19, had pneumonia. I never had a room, treated an released with some meds. My experience with the ER was good, competent nurse/dr. My med bils a bit higher but still worth it. Glad BM is good to go.
Poor baby. No fun getting sick. Thank God for good nurses and doctors, not to mention affordable healthcare!
Paul, Amazing story, thank you for sharing! Stay safe and may God bless you all.
So glad to hear Baby Mae is on the mend👏🏻 I remember a couple of years ago Mr Fazio had 2 full panels of bloodwork done either for himself or his Filipina and the bill was $17.
Amazing.
Thanks for sharing.. things like that makes us realize what’s important and who we can rely on. Tell Mae get well soon!
This is a great video. Love your channel and love your content. Thank you for all the great information. I’m glad baby Mae is ok.
Fantastic!!! Good reporting and good useful information!!! Glad Baby Mae is ok and thank GOD for friends like Gary😊
Thanks Paul. And my friends and family wonder why I want to leave the US. The entire system is designed to rip off the common folk from health care to social security to insurance of any kind taxes and so on. I am fucking sick of it. 2022 will be the year of change for me. I am selling out and the first thing I am going to do is book a trip to the Philippines and take a couple of weeks and look around. Wish me luck. Maybe at 74 I will find true love, it sure as hell isn't going to happen here, not at my age.
Sooo thankful she’s okay!! Affordable health care in the Philippines!! This would’ve been in the thousands. Please keep us posted what caused, etc. Lastly, thank you Paul for taking care of her!!
WOW WOW WOW ......GET WELL BABY MAE !
So Thankful Baby Mae is better! God Bless you both.
I went to the emergency room in Malolos Bulacan a few years back because I had cut my hand. The bill was about $7 Canadian for cleaning, stitches, bandaging & the service was fairly quick. If we lived in the Philippines full time I would carry additional health care for those unforseen major medical emergencies we will probably face as we age. Good to see BM recovered well from the alergic reaction, just need to figure out what triggered it. Take care all.
God bless her sweet little precious soul. Get well soon Baby Mae. You rock Paul for taking such good care of her. My Cathie drives me crazy with her phobia of doctors.
Glad she is on the mend. Good decisive action on your part Sir Paul.
And from now on will make sure my purse matches my shoes! Great tip.
Excellent
Good Healthy Outcome.. Great News.. take care thanks for sharing your stories... Now you will pay more attention everytime Mae has a purse so you match not clash !!!
Lord God ,
Please heal Miss Mae and make her comfortable.
In Jesus name
Amen
Paul, this was a very touching video, so glad everything worked out for Baby Mae and you. I believe when I do plan on retiring in the Philippines. I do need to get that Philippine top health insurance just in case. The best blessing for us Americans and most other foreigner western nations. Is we can afford the bill to pay for this situation in the Philippines. I believe estimates would have been around $1,000 American dollars for what just occurred on getting Baby Mae well in the states. Once again proven that the Philippines is a well cost effective place to retire at. Thanks Paul for this information and GOD bless both of you. From US American Air Force Security Police who was station at Clark Air Base, Philippines back in the day.
It would have been much more than that in the United States. They charged me $90 for a tiny little Band-Aid
Oh well I'm basically form Bohol Philippines I live in England at the moment by myself regarding the Medical issue yes were Free hospitalisation but bad thing is Appointment is take long to get your appointment date and I might be dead already before I get treated..so I prepared to pay expensive bills rather than I died waiting for my appointment and treatment 🙄
@@rossanacuas5811 I agree especially in the province area of Bohol. Three main area were it is adequate is Manila, Cebu and Davao areas were there are international airports too. Those are the only three (3) places I would considering retiring in the Philippines.
@@geraldcomfort8820 $50 for the band-aid & $90 for one with Spiderman on it
@@shannonwoodcock1035 but I wanted the Incredible Hulk. LOL
Glad to hear Mae is ok , and it's great to have GOOD friends !!
Excellent information!
Glad you think so!
First, fear upon discovery and realization of her poor condition, then nerve-wracking fear and uncertainty as you get her to the hospital, then anxiety as you wait, and then, finally, sweet relief as Mae responds to treatment. Both of you have really been through the wringer.
Take it easy for a bit as she recovers - so gratified to know she's on the mend.
Glad to Mae is on the mend! I had a similar experience with medical prices in Thailand a few weeks ago. Isn't it amazing to walk out of the hospital feeling like you got a great deal?!
So glad all worked out fine.. God Bless
Thank you!
great result and they did a good job great friends always help
Wow that sounded awful scary when you described the welts on her body and am so glad that the hospital responded so quickly!! Imagine letting you sleep while she was suffering so badly. What a trouper she is, God bless her and hope she fully recovers soon.
Happy to hear Mae is feeling better. Of course listening to your storytelling is always a real treat. Yes Paul most people do not realize how badly they are being ripped off back in the USA. That's not just healthcare. Healthcare in Cebu is very reasonable as well. Thanks for the great video and info for viewers.
Hey Paul, I loved your story, thanks for sharing ! and all the best for your g/f !
I'm glad you both came out as well as you did. You have described a miracle and blessing. I realize how critical it would be to have real friendship and support system out there. I hope to have that when I'm there...
You and Mae are indeed blessed 😇. So glad she is recovering. I’ll remember to: Things go better when you properly accessorize
🙏Praying🙏 for speedy recovery for Baby Mae. God bless you both.
Hope she has a quick Recovery.
I will say a prayer for her full recovery.
What a saga! And your closing comment.....PERfect!!!
God bless you both so happy that Mae is doing great now that’s amazing emergency room and 50 bucks out the door love the ending Paul you always make me laugh God bless you both
Thank you Paul for sharing this and hope Mae fully recovers. It could be a severe allergic reaction to poisonous plants she came in contact with. It could of easily been much much worse if her trachea would of been completely inflammated due to more swelling from this allergic reaction! Then , BOTH of you would of been in a hysteria and God forbid, a more serious emergency!
Take precautions now to get Benadryl, Cortizone Cream, and other anti-inflammatory medications Paul. Stay safe and God bless you both!
I hope so too
Baby May will l probably be brought back to a doctor who will test her to find out what her allergic reaction was. Over the counter medicine wouldn't have helped much and her dire situation
Great to heard that Mae is fine! Awesome friends, awesome hospitalization! Take care!
Very interesting experience...glad everything is better now. Thanks for telling us the story.
Glad she is ok. You might want to make an appointment with a Doctor/allergist to figure out what caused this. Allergies can get worse with time and repeated exposure. There is a test where they put tiny amounts of various allergen's on the skin to see what she reacts to. This way she will know what to avoid.
He may also be able to get an epipen or its equivalent. If she has a reaction, she can use the epipen to reduce the symptoms and buy her time to get to a hospital. Epipens are a bit pricy, several hundred USD, but its better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it...
It was also happened to my daughter few years ago...doc do some allergy test and it came out she is allergy to prawn and cockroaches. So terrible. She is taking anti histamine for few years. But now no more trigger...cos she is not eating it anymore. And my house no more roaches...when she dine in a resto she carefully ask if the food has prawn ingredients before she order it...
Happy to hear BM is doing ok now. That is miserable to itch like that. Also, the ER bill here in the States would have been a easy $3000 to $4000 bill. Which explains the 500,000 medical bankruptcies here each year. Accessorizing is life Tito! (purse and shoes). Haha.
thanks for sharing. take care always. God bless you both and your friends. 🥰
OMGEEE! Poor Baby Mae. Also Paul, you made a good point, you could only have a bad cold or the flu and now you're in the hospital and THEN you catch Cov-19 because its all up in the hospital, waiting for you to breathe it in. You are smart to try to stay away unless it is a true emergency. Which it was! Sounds scary, so glad she is going to be ok. And glad your health is good, too. Stay safe there, guys! 🥰
I've been divorced from my Filipina 13 years but I remember how it was to love her, and the feeling throughout my whole body when she got sick and I had to take her to the doctor (here in the US). After examining her, he gave us a prescription to fill out, and she was out of commission a couple of days. But I remember. Girlfriend or wife, I'm sure this touched you deeper than you appear on screen. Best wishes to you both.
Prayers to Baby Mae and you from Tennessee. Be safe and take care
Bless you both...thank you for sharing...
WOW. Poor thing!!!! I'm sure she was freaking out. You had the voice of reason and responsibility, I'm glad she agreed to go to the hospital. Glad she is responding to the meds and feeling better. Wow Paul, she needs to try to figure out what might have caused that reaction!! I know she doesn't want any more of that. Take care of her, I know you will. Be Happy Be Safe.
Glad to hear things are going well and hoping for a swift recovery for Mae. That purse comment at 9:14 was a perfect tension reliever. Take care of each other, brother.
This is "exactly" the kind of info expats or those thinking of residing in the Phillipines need.
Agreed! Because most are older and Hey! Us smart older guys worry about stuff. Like health care and insurance. Me, I think when I go back am getting a Phil-Am health card. Was $40 something USD per month!
Great information. I’m glad Baby Mae was ok.
Very happy that your wife is okay. Good information about the Philippines Healthcare system.
Hello there young man, glad everything is OK. My Pina wife when she was alive was a seafood fanatic, I was in Chinatown in Mississauga On and picked up a Dungeness Crab she of course being a crab fanatic, quickly consumed the whole thing. We ended up going to Emerg just like you did, eyes swollen shut welts and rashes on all her joints. That when we found out she was allergic to Large Crabs, small blue crabs were ok also Lobster ok but not large crabs, She carried Anti Histamine (Claritin) in her purse for the rest of her life, thanks for sharing Ray Viray-Cox

@@trevorsmith7753 your being atheist will cease when you are at your last breath. you'll finally think and consider your maker during those moment.
As a US physician I especially enjoyed this video. What a difference from the dysfunction and extreme medical bureaucracy we now endure throughout the US, both on the giving and the receiving ends. Intensely frustrating every day, it often makes me regret being a doctor.
Things didn’t always used to be this way. When I was a child, US healthcare experiences were more similar to what you described - not the part about bringing drugs into the hospital, but the overall experience was much more positive. Since then we allowed Congress, lawyers and large corporations to ruin what used to be a pretty functional system. The more our national politicians “fix” systemic problems, the worse they get… multi thousand page pieces of legislation “to the rescue.”
I hope PI doesn’t follow USA into the abyss of dysfunction our healthcare system now is.
Thank you for posting this peek at PI healthcare. Please keep it coming!
Are you kidding me? First week of quarantines here, a pregnant woman died giving birth in the streets, after many hospitals refused to give assistance on delivery. Don't allow anyone to fool you on Healthcare here. If you have ability to get on planes quickly to get to Manila or Cebu, maybe you can get decent care, but only if you have a great deal of cash. I have seen horror stories here in medical care. You have no idea.
@@JohnDoe-kz4kd There's more places than that that have good hospitals, but you're right if you're out away from bigger cities. You hear people say you go to the hospital to die.
Like other dude said, this is a peek at big city hospitals. This doesn't represent the smaller hospitals out in most of the PH where the care isn't sufficient most of the time to save lives, and the problems are many, including proper diagnosis.
While I understand the issue of govt. involvement in the med. system in the US, don't try to make a claim that the INSANE bills from hospitals are because of that. That would be a gross misrepresentation of reality.
I'm not talking about anything other than hospital care when I say this, but since many patients will never pay their bills, hospitals have to recoup their losses and that means charging patients a crazy amount of money. In a 5 year period I watched emergency care in my area double in cost. That wasn't some added govt. regulation. Medical bills are the no. 1 reason for bankruptcy in the US and it's been that way for a long time. I understand that hospitals are forced to accept emergency patients and this is where part of the failures happen when it comes to finances for a hospital, but this isn't specifically because of a lot of govt. regulation, and even if the govt. said at some point in the past that hospitals have to accept emergency patients, courts upheld that.
And frankly, if you want an easy system, then you would remove all insurance and go straight to something like Medicare for all US citizens. You have crazy billing departments because of all the different rules of insurance companies, so much so that many offices outsource billing. That isn't because of the govt.
So please, I see what you did as a cut towards the govt. in the US using a situation that really isn't their fault. Going back to a tax system pre 2001 and getting rid of the huge cuts in capital gains tax which affects large investors to where they pay almost no taxes, and then going to something like Medicare for all would be much better than what the US has now, AND it would be affordable for the govt. to run. AND it would be easier for medical offices and hospitals. Hospitals would actually get paid for emergency care, all the time, or almost all the time and there wouldn't be billing from a hospital they intentionally obscure, or even part of the time the HOSPITAL DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND! This has been studied across the US dude. It's really only been recently, because of govt. pressure that you can now get pricing information from some hospitals and you can make a decision on where to go based on that information. This was almost impossible 10 years ago.
And MY tax bill, being a married couple that makes a little above the median income in the US, my taxes wouldn't go up very much, since I didn't get much tax reduction from either the 2001 cut or the 2017 tax cut (maybe $100 a year). I'd be happy as hell if that happened and hospitals could plan on getting paid for the care they give, could reduce their costs, and people wouldn't go bankrupt anymore in the US from medical bills. And then they could even be TRANSPARENT!!
BTW in the PH, hospitals refuse patients who can't pay, even emergencies. THIS is why their costs are low. Everyone pays who gets care.
@@johndoh5182 This is probably not the place to debate Medicare Fur Alles, nor whether a person enjoys Bernie memes. I doubt we will agree on USA system solutions.
Regarding US Emergency Room costs rising exponentially, the blame lies squarely with unfunded mandates in the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 and the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) or 1986. The upward cost bending from such interventions is almost without limit. Don’t even get me started on Obamacare’s upward cost bending.
I came here to learn about PI healthcare, not debate about the US system. We can likely agree that the P.I. healthcare system should not be judged from a single ER visit by Baby Mae. Let's not go on further tangents.
@@daredevil2593 I thought you were writing about USA until the last sentence. So-called medical bankruptcy is often discussed, but I don’t recall seeing that term in regards to P.I. I am not talking about quality of care now, just out of pocket costs.
Yesterday afternoon I had a second visit with a 65 year old widow who chose to forego a CT scan I ordered seven days earlier at her initial visit. The reason for the CT scan was to identify the source of what is undoubtedly a malignancy in her chest and/or neck. She cannot afford the $75 copayment, versus being able to eat (she says), and she cannot afford cancer treatment copays either. I strongly suspect she has lung cancer. Maybe we will never know if she had something more treatable before the autopsy.
It’s not just in rural P.I. where sad medical dilemmas exist.
Wow ! I can tell that you were worried. I glad she is ok..
Stay Safe, and Stay Blessed !
Thanks Paul great info, I was concerend about medical insurance.
The last part was funny
The concern would have been anaphylaxis, which is a systemic, hypersensitive allergic reaction (ie; closing of the throat due to swelling, resulting in a lack of oxygen, suffocation, death). With the symptoms presented, more than likely the Doctor would usually order Epinephrine (aka; adrenaline) for possible anaphylaxis. Hives are common in an allergic reaction - facial/throat/etc. swelling and trouble breathing (wheezing) are cause for greater concern and require a trip to the ER.
Paul, if you can, and if you don't already, you should put together a family/household first aid kit. The kit should include, among many other things for many other possibilities, Benadryl (aka; diphenhydramine - an antihistamine for allergic reaction) and Calamine Lotion (for itch).... however, first make sure you or Baby Mae are not allergic to the Benadryl (a very, very small percentage of the population are). In All - Always, Err on the Side of Caution.... as you did.
Thanks so much for the feedback and support
Paul I cannot stress enough to resolve the problem you must or she must tend to her stomach rebalancing out her gut biome if she doesn't do that she can very well end up back in the ER sooner than you think so when she recovers and finishes taking whatever regimens of medicine were prescribed to her I hope by then you too have researched enough about intermittent water fasting and understand what the gut biome is all about
Get some chlorine dioxide solution, Paul. Now.
What a story. Glad it had a happy ending. You are a good man.
Wonderful. You are blessed with a caring and beautiful woman.
God Bless Baby Mae, Paul ,you need to kindly tell her this could have been a matter of life & death and that she needs to wake you up if something like this happens again
I am happy that Mae was well taken care and is back healthy now. Hearing your story I am also glad we have 1669 health emergency number all over Thailand if we need emergency assistance to get someone to the hospital. Just be aware that you may ask someone local to phone as language may be an issue in some area.
Glad she doing better and will be ok! Liked your story and good friends are very important sometimes better than family
Great video Paul. I'm glad Babe Mae is feeling much better. And I'm very happy for you that you were able to accessorize properly on the spur of the moment. :-)
Happy to hear she is recovering nicely. When she is feeling better it would be a good idea to find the cause of the allergic reaction so it doesn't happen again. All the best to you both
Who knows how it happened, my guess is allergic reaction (border-line anaphylaxis) to something she ate; Baby Mae is pretty savvy as to food (she was in the catering industry) so this might have been an ingredient that she has not been exposed to before. But she may have brushed against a poisonous grass/bush (poison oak or poison ivy) on the way to filming with her friends(?) I doubt that the hospital would invest in a costly lab investigating to find the cause of her reaction.
@@bensilverstern4156 Wow - that was a harsh comment ...
I do not agree, not everything ingested would cause pain. As to brushing against a plant/tree seemed localized to some degree in Baby Mae's case as her arm and shoulder were more affected ... but since you are such an expert and with much an abundance supply of intelligence and thought than the rest of us here ...
All kind of things can happen with hives. A previous wife of mine came down with severe hives once. Meds they injected did little good. After a few days of getting nowhere, they had what was about like a stand up tanning booth where they could disl up the amount of UV exposure she wiukd get. She had to stand naked in this booth while they blasted her with UV RAYS, starting the first treatment of about 2 minutes. We had to go back to the hospital every other day until the hives subsided, each treatment they increased the strength and the time they zapped her. It took about 6-7 trips until the hives cleared. They did extensive allergy testing on her and could not determine the exact cause. They did say they felt strongly it was plant based. Lots of things grow wild in Texas that can zap you by just brushing against it with open skin. It could have been life threatening. We lived in the country and my job of keeping the area around the house clear of growth became a much higher priority. Lucky it never happened again. Glad Baby Mae responded to the medications. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. You’ll take care. I made it back in country a couple weeks ago. Once I get settled, hope to make a trip down your way for a visit. Looking foresrd to meeting you both.
@@bensilverstern4156 Well as a retired medical professional myself (RN), I might suggest you take 2 minutes of your time and google treatment before jumping to such a response. That’s about how long it took me to find several articles mentioning the UV treatment. I would post a screenshot but first, Not sure it is possible here in comments and I don’t know how if it is. Second, It’s not my vlog so my comment should be sufficient to rebuke your statement. So do a little research my friend, and if you decide to, proper medical term for hives is urticaria. Just so you know what you are looking for.
I hope she gets well soon. 🙏
I'm happy everything worked out, God Bless, Mae, Paul, and Gary.... True friends will always be there for you, whatever and whenever,,,
Out of the blue, for no particular reason, I found myself glued to my screen for 24 minutes, intrigued. Then, sigh of relief. Thank you for sharing that story and well handled.
When I was in Davao City, my GF at the time needed her gall bladder removed. We had to take her to emergency as well. Total bill came to around $2,500 for laparoscopic method (not open surgery). One thing to note: Armed security gate will not let you OUT unless final bill is stamped "Paid". The grounds are fenced & wired. Intereresting experience.
Pretty odd isn't it? But it's better to be held captive by an armed Filipino guard waiting for your $2,500 bill to be paid immediately than to be happily discharged from an American hospital and receiving a $25,000 plus bill in the mail 3 weeks later.
@@watersbey25 gall bladder costed 32k usd
@@hillbillyintheasia6122 that's in the USA right? Sounds like it.
Its great that everything worked out. Might want to consider getting a epi pen because alergic reactions generally get worse the more times it happens
Good idea
Wow,,,thats great shes doing ok now,,,,take care there.
Sir, I am glad she is doing better and that you and your friends were able to help her. God Bless You All!
Years ago, before I hit 60 years of age, we had a lengthy experience at the Philippine Orthopedic hospital in Manila. My best friends wife had shattered bones in a leg due to a fall. She required surgical repair. I was allowed to donate blood (under 60Y/O) along with a few others to replace what would be needed during the operation. We were stationed outside the OR and many times during the procedure, a nurse would appear asking for another unit of blood or something from the pharmacy across the street from the hospital. Can you imagine that, we were the messenger staff for the OR! Down several flights of steps, hand over the note requesting the blood and run the blood back upstairs. Run across the street and bring back what was requested. Other than drugs and prescriptions that had to be purchased, the bill was ZERO. That old building surely looked like it could use a coat of paint but I have to say the treatment they offer is TOP SHELF.
I’m going to ensure my wardrobe includes the proper range of shirts Paul.
Thanks for the fashion tips. And the recommendation on how not to waste time in ERs…cappuccino?
Another great video and oh ……thank goodness Mae is OK.
All our love!-)))
Prayers and healing for Baby Mae and the love and care you both have for each other is truly a blessing. Plus for a a man to carry the love of his life purse and matches his shoes he has my respect. God bless
That's great she is better now....just goes to show she cares for you so much and didn't complain to worry you.. wow...could have been so so much worse.....I am so relived for you both...tell Baby Mae there are angels looking after her ❤...thanks for letting us all know...God Bless 🙏...peace out
And the moral of this story after thankfully a positive and happy ending here, is that even if you don't like riding motor cycles or enduring the cost of running a car, then invest in a well serviced tuk tuk !!...it's a good option I reckon. Best wishes and I hope that baby Mae makes a good recovery. When I lived in Thailand I was hospitalised for 4 days after being stung by 3 wasps in the garden. Here back in the UK, I am still taking cetirizine hydrochloride (allergy relief) pills daily 4 years after the event in order to prevent hives putting a severe rash condition over my body. Otherwise I am ok but expats beware ! wasp stings in Asia can be fatal depending on your physical condition. A good idea is to always keep allergy pills in the bathroom cabinet. Best wishes Paul and baby Mae, from Tom in the UK.
I'm glad everything worked out for you, it could have been a lot worse. I have had nurses miss my huge veins and blood went everywhere and also had a couple of nightmare senarios (for me). Also had a really good experience with province hospital with my baby daughter many years ago when she tipped over a boiling kettle. Hope Baby Mae is on soon, they are tough these Filipinas. Take care.
glad you're better May!

Prayers so glad that my got the medical attention that she needed and it's a good Lord was watching after you all God bless and take care always
Glad Mae is okay. You, however, are a most charming guy Mr Paul. You can make a compelling story with good humor even from your GF's welts. And you know the value of accessorizing:)
Fabulous
Thank God. Being a former paramedic, I guessed right off anaphylaxis. And I would bet money it was some type of shell fish by what you’ve told us. So glad it all worked out. And yes, I won’t be caught dead out in public if my gf’s purse doesn’t match my shoes. :-).
So glad Baby Mae (and you & Gary) are ok! Thanks for sharing.
