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
Western democracy is actually a vote. Instead of making decisions for the people
Its America's pretext to interfere, demonize and subvert other nations' internal affairs.@@kelongye5117
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.
There was no issue filming in the hospital, but we did let them know in advance out of courtesy.
Western democracy is a scam
The leadership of a country committed to the benifits of their people really make the heaven on Earth. . China is doing the same.. Lovely China with growing non stop.
Chinese hospitals have made amazingly rapid progress in recent years! Very impressive!
作为一个生活在海外的中国人，我觉得国内最令我怀念的就是医疗的便利。
几乎无论什么时候去看病只要走进医院，在30分钟内一般就能见到医生，加上拍片，验血，这些常规检查，直到医生给开药，总共一般也就2,3个小时。
这些在大多数国家，特别是西方国家都是不可能的。如果没有预约，在医院等2,3个小时连医生的面都见不到。
就算预约好时间，医生也没有一次是正点可以接待你的，都还要再等十分钟或更久😅
我在瑞典做过一个很小的微创手术，检查预约4-5周，等待手术4-5周，最后拆线一周
In Belgium you wait 9 a 10hours
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.
144th ranked healthcare system wirh appalling outcomes and pretty shitty cancer rate survival . Also miles behind when looking at medical innovation

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.
Get well soon
No any insurance coverage?
Sorry for your accident, please be well.
Not too bad for a 16-day stay. If this happened in US, it will cost your another arm!
@@RedHotTopicsNow I agree. There is no comparison.
That's a surprise to me. Who would have thought filming inside a hospital.
The hospital in China doesn't ban the filming inside it.
So if you want，just filmimg. But don't focus on a stranger. 😂
Glad to hear that James is recovering. It was so nice of you Alex to visit him and make this wonderful video to share with us.
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.
I thought all doctors swear on the Hippocratic oath or it’s no longer applicable.
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.
Hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️🩹. Stay well and happy in China! ✌️❤️
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.
我是中国人目前在英国工作，我在中国看牙医只需要提前一天预约第二天就可以得到治疗，我在英国看牙医需要等待三个月而且是昂贵的私人牙医.
😂私人医院不需要预约 当天就可以
@@user-qh3ke7uq1n 我去的私人牙科三月预约的 排到了七月
I hope james heals his arm soon.
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.
中国在两千年多年前就明白了这个道理。
@@user-gk4wz2ql9l 是啊……所以我才說，比起從2000多年前的老祖宗那裡奪取中華民族進步的領導席位，似乎只有一個領導人更合理。
i think you are correct in a sense it is only west they made dictatorship look bad if you have a good visionary leader then dont change him at all
Thank you for all you do Alex.
我也有过骨折的经历。。。骨折是比较不好受。虽然手术成功了，但恢复时间却是不短的。平常注意保护好伤处。伤筋动骨100天，几个月的疼痛是难免的。不到万不得已还是少用止痛药，祝早日康复。
Nice, very nice, for hospital and for James
Wonder how much it cost for the operation for a foreigner like James. Now that I think about it, either for your own channel, Alex or James or for iChongqing, a information like video about healthcare for foreigners, cost and where to go for help in case something happen would be nice.
Wishing you a smooth recovery, James.
35,000RMB, it's not too bad but a chunk of change though.
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
@@cqfox 35000是因为没有保险么？印象中，骨折手术不需要花费那么高的

谢谢你们的分享👍👍👍❤❤❤
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)
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.
A surgeon friend of my dad's said, if possible " don't let the air in".... ❤😢😊
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 .....
The last war involved China was the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979 and it was 45 years ago, nothing worth mentioning before that date
*_Best wishes to James. Hoping you can recover soon with good doctors and nurses. Take care next time._*
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.
19 stories hospital. Wow!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Impressive.
Get well soon, and take care ❤
Excellent report - most informative - thank you.
Wish you a quick full recovery.
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.
Wish you speedy recovery James.
very hard to see doctor in time at USA, truth!! real medical for people in China.......
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.
Nice cover on China's hospital... hospital HC worker myself
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.
@@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.
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.
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%
Recover soon. Good luck.
願您平安健康🙏早日康復
祝早日康复
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。🤣
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.
An you do more videos of Chinese medical system
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!
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
@@missglee like only the 武警 and military has it :)
sound like a hell joke😂😂
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.
One of my colleagues broke his arm in China. In China, there is no need to queue up to make an appointment, and the doctor can arrange surgery at any time according to your condition, because the company where my colleague works has reimbursed 80% of the Chinese social security, which originally cost 3,000 US dollars, but it only cost less than 1,000 US dollars after reimbursement. If you do not have 50,000 US dollars in the United States, you will not be discharged or even hospitalized.
No deposit, no treatment
In reality, lots of Americans cannot afford medical services
Don't understand why there is still "American dream"🙄
Hospitals is like hotels n resorts
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
Thankfully, we have a work related insurance scheme, so I didn’t need to worry about that.
Do you have any travelling insurance coverage ??
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.
✌✌✌
my great grandma died in that hospital😢
curious how much it costs after 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
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😢
Only in China.....Amazing 😂😂
i am in foshan, not chongqing, the best local hospital for the Orthopaedic Hospital is Chinese Medicine Hospital.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Let’s see, Alex still can’t speak a lick of Chinese and he’s an expert on China. lol. That’s amazing!
That's an enterance of a presidential complex or a 5 star hotel and not a hospital...
Meanwhile, hospitals and healthcares are falling down in Europe.
China is a great country, I regret I am not Chinese, I love this country,all in China is on another level . 🇨🇳🙏🫰🫰🫰🫰❤️❤️❤️
while muricans cant even afford ambulance
No one wants to pay over $ 1000 for an ambulance ride if the injury or sickness is not life threatening.
lol J*mes
Mr. J, ouch. 🤕
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!
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.)
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.
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.

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.
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.
