Last month I went back to China after almost 14 years in the U.S.. Lives in China have changed so dramatically that I want to share: 1. ID and WeChat are EVERYTHING: The new 3rd generation of Chinese government issued ID has RFID in it which is supported by all major entities for verification purposes, from bank to real estate transactions to all sorts of check-ins and healthcare. With the ID and optionally a backed bank account you can then use WeChat for almost everything in your daily life. It is not just a convenient payment infrastructure like Apple Pay using your phone, it is EVERYTHING -- it is basically Payment + Apple Store + Utilities. WeChat can run other "programs" from 3rd parties. For example, you can order shared rides or make doctor appointment since your identity and payment are integrated with WeChat (more on transportation and healthcare later). Because of its ubiquity, almost all major Apps in China and all merchandise support WeChat -- basically the "mini program" (apps inside WeChat). Nowadays, WeChat and its ecosystem covers vast majority (if not all) retail economics. Oh I forget to mention this, a lower-end smart phone which is more than enough for most people which supports the WeChat ecosystem only costs $100 USD which is unbelievably cheap. 2. Transportation - Subway/CHSR and Electrical Vehicles: My hometown city Xi'an is a 2-tier city in China and my actual hometown is just a "tiny" area of it (though it has the similar population as SF and is known of Terracotta Warriors) yet the city already has 13 metro lines covering most metropolitan area and even some suburb area including my small hometown. The city is even planning for a total of 20 lines down the road. From my hometown which is 25 miles away from one side of the city to the other side of the city which is roughly 45 miles in total would take only 1.5 hours of the subway with 30+ stops. The cost is less than 10 RMB Yuan (~$1.5 USD). For inter-city travels people get used to China High Speed Rail (CHSR). For example, it is 750 miles from Xi'an to Beijing (that's almost doubled distance between SF and LA), lowest tier ticket price is $70 USD which is pretty comfy and spacious but you can also pick up to $200 USD for better tiers. The trip is barely 4.25 hours and it is always on time! I just mentioned one example but there are just so many CHSR lines between major and even smaller cities all over the country which is really hard to imagine for the people in U.S. Because of CHSR, flights are not so crowded but it is also a good alternative which reasonable prices (sometimes lower than CHSR). And then for EV there are just so many choices -- BYD, XPeng, and 10+ other native brands while the imported ones like Tesla (actually natively assembled) and Volkswagen and the like are also very price-attractive. Because of the fierce competition for a typical model (think Tesla's Model 3) the price is ~$30,000 USD across all brands. That is very affordable for mid-class families even without debt (Chinese don't like debt in general) while the experience/quality is promising. One advantage of owning an EV is that, due to the high volume of cars major Chinese cities apply traffic control and on a certain day only some gasoline cars (e.g. plate number ends with odd numbers) can go on the road, but that policy doesn't apply for EVs which means that you can enjoy (maybe) driving whenever you wanted. Because of its prevalence I have more shared EV rides from DiDi (Uber equivalent). For the price of DiDi, 10-15 RMB Yuan (less than $2 USD) any start-end in the downtown area of my small hometown, 20 Yuan ($3 USD) at most for any two points of the entire town. 3. Other Infrastructures: 1) Houses. New buildings (either civil or commercial) are all 20+ story high skyscrapers even in my hometown which you can only see in the downtown area in only some US cities. It is both because there are just so many people and government incentivized the development of real estate in early years (maybe not now in particular). The price was peaked before COVID and now the price is roughly the same level as 2017/2018 before the peak. A 100 square meters house (flat apartment really) costs around $300,000 USD near the tech companies area (Huawei, Tencent etc) in Xi'an. 2) Logistics/Delivery. 2 words: Fast and Cheap. If you live in some southern cities it is same day delivery guaranteed. Even in my hometown it is 3-5 days from everywhere in the country. Food delivery is even more impressive, could be in minutes by many delivery riders on their e-bikes. 3) Malls. Malls are everywhere but most were built before COVID. Nowadays fewer people are shopping in the malls due to the fast development of online shopping, the efficient logistics and delivery mentioned above. Now most people go to malls for good restaurants which are typically at the top level of the building. 4) Highways. Everywhere from Shanghai to Tibet with some are very new and enjoyable to drive. 5) Bridges. My hometown doesn't have a lot water so there is less of them. But in southern cities, fancy and long-distance bridges are built aggressively (e.g. search for Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge). 4. Food and Environment. There are just so many choices of different kinds of foods -- restaurants, pick-ups, deliveries. Unfortunately, after almost 15 years staying in the U.S. I am a bit allergic to spicy foods which is the main local flavor. But thank goodness I still loved and enjoyed some of them like 油茶 and 烧饼. There are some discussions about the food quality and safety in China which I can't say much since I didn't stay for so long. During my stay I nonetheless tried to eat more fruits though (peeling is a must!) and they are pretty good and juicy -- citrons, apples, dragon fruit, etc. Alcohol is sold everywhere without clear restriction -- I doubt they check IDs when you buy it. During my reunion with family and friends there are always alcohols and in most cases that was the main theme. I wasn't able to drink much (I barely drink in the U.S.) because the 白酒 (very strong liquor) is too strong and spicy. I am not sure though how the younger generations deal with alcohol, hopefully they are not very interested. Air pollution is still a problem for most northern cities in winter, largely due to the operation of coal mine plants for providing heats. 3 days out of my stay of 10+ days the city is filled with harmful fogs so I had to stay at home. Even for the rest of the days I wear mask most of the time when I am out. As a regular runner, I also didn't run at all during my stay, fearing of potential respiratory damage. The southern part of China is probably better for this matter. There are also much less trails in the city so it is a bit challenging for serious runners/bicyclists. 5. The Healthcare and Insurance. Here I probably need to compare it with what we have in the U.S. since it is hard for people to appreciate it without doing so. After so many years, the healthcare and insurance system in China really astonishes me -- mostly positive with caveats I will explain. China nowadays has way more doctors than the U.S. (>4 million vs. ~1.1 million) while the per capita (3 per 1000) is similar which is already a tremendous achievement. The system also works differently in China: You don't have to make an appointment for a doctor visit and wait for a looong time for specialists -- you can just show up (get up early please) in the hospital or just checkin from WeChat ahead of time and you will be able to see specialized doctors the same day probably less than a couple hours. For surgeries, it can be scheduled within the same month most of the time. For laboratory tests and the medicines there are two sides: On one hand, they are also easy to order and most of them are covered by the insurance, including B-Ultrasounds and CTs (I am not sure even most Americans have ever heard those terms "thanks" to our insurance policy). On the other hand, the doctor visits are mostly test/medicine driven -- making it probably too much for everyone (doctors and hospitals clearly have incentives to order more of those). Another problem of the system is that it still heavily relies on the more advanced equipments and medicines from western world including Japan for the tests and treatments. I've heard that there is also a moderate to heavy usage of traditional Chinese herbal medicine but I can't confirm that. The overall cost of tests, treatments including surgeries is much more affordable comparing to the U.S. and the premium of the insurance is also much lower. For example, a complete set of tests, which include the blood test, B-Ultrasound, CTs of lung and brain, gastrointestinal endoscopy costs about $300 USD in total _before_ insurance. Monthly insurance premium is somewhere between $50 to $100 USD and depending on the policy most people can reimburse 30% to over 90% of the spend. I don't even know how much does it cost of those tests in the U.S. because my doctor never ordered them for me (partially because our insurance company and policy). Other examples: Ambulance for emergency - $50 USD (yes i spelled it correctly), Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery (fyi heart disease is no.1 killer in the U.S.) - less than $30,000 USD. Considering it is the life-saving surgery that you may need one day it is just worth it. For surgeries one can probably reimburse at least half of it. How do I know all these? My parents are both retired doctors and I myself did the whole set of tests during my stay (*just worth it*). It makes me remind of Luigi which I definitely don't agree with his action but I do really hope there will be a better insurance system in the U.S. 6. The People and The Culture. Maybe due to my relatively short stay, nowadays people are nicer to each other comparing to 15 years ago -- at least people don't touch your body when you are in waiting lines (was normal which is very irritating). Around 1/3 of the times cars stop and waiting for pedestrians to cross first. I also heard there are much less theft and robbery these days due to the ubiquitous of the phone/WeChat usage and also the mass deployment of camera monitoring system. Because everyone has a smart phone, people are always staring at their phones (similar to U.S.). Douyin (TikTok) and red notes are the most popular ones. The variation of recreations is also flourishing -- people go skiing, climbing mountains (Xi'an is near the most magnificent mountain range of China) and even running more instead of the old-fashioned KTVs. My hometown city also has yearly Marathons (hope I can run it one day) where some of my friends ran once or twice. Smoking in public areas is mostly forbidden, which is a huge improvement. And NO, there is no homeless wandering and randomly threatening people on the street. An interesting observation is that people in China are much more confident nowadays especially when talking with me -- they tend to mention the achievements of the infrastructures as well as the technical advancement (e.g. AI) a lot. A lot people think China is now the firm No.2 country in the world and is not far from U.S. The rest of the world? Not a thing. Overall, there is definitely a tremendous improvement of people's everyday lives and well-beings thanks to the unforeseen speed of the development of infrastructures and the new technologies. Basically as Balaji puts it "China can build (while US can't)" (I don't think U.S. can't build though). The country has become a more livable and enjoyable place for both hardware (infra/tech) and software (people/culture). Most people are super hardworking and pretty positive about the future from what I can tell. I am really glad to see all these and congratulations to them. I also foresee that the competition between US and China will become the main theme in the near future in many major areas. The two countries will lead by a far. I just wishfully hope that this race pushes the limit of homo sapiens without disastrous outcomes.

The U.S. Pharmaceutical Industry Is Having Its Own "DeepSeek Moment" If you want to survive, you’d better be Chinese—or head to China for help! *The Washington Post* shared a true story about Max Doppelt, a resident of New York City. He doesn’t appear to be short on funds: his 60-year-old mother, Debbie, is a jeweler, and he himself is a computer engineer. In 2023, Debbie—who had suffered from a persistent cough—was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. It was a rare form, characterized by a specific genetic mutation and more commonly found in non-smokers. Although she promptly underwent chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the cancer continued to progress, and by late 2024, it had metastasized to her brain. Desperate, Max began searching for a targeted therapy—a drug that could address the root cause of the cancer more effectively. One option he looked into carried significant side effects and was largely ineffective against cancer cells that had already spread to the brain. Just as he was nearing despair, a doctor mentioned another targeted therapy that could potentially help his mother—but there was a catch: it wasn't yet approved for use in the United States. At the time, the drug was still in the final stages of clinical trials. The doctor explained that the drug had been developed by a Chinese company and had already received regulatory approval in China back in 2023—where it was also covered by the national health insurance system, benefiting many patients. "It’s a shame your mother isn’t Chinese," the doctor remarked. "If she were, she could simply walk into a pharmacy in China and buy it." Upon learning that the drug was already available in China, Max and his mother reached out to friends and family to see if they could help procure it. A few months later, Max flew to Shanghai himself, where he spent over $10,000 to purchase 26 boxes of the medication. The drug proved effective in stabilizing his mother’s condition, specifically by bringing the cancer that had spread to her brain under control. But Max is not the only American doing this. He told *The Washington Post* that at least 30 other Americans have also traveled to China to obtain this targeted therapy. "China has grown into a biotechnology powerhouse," *The Washington Post* noted, describing a phenomenon that might seem "counterintuitive" to many Americans. "In 2025, as much as 46% of the new drugs entering human clinical trials globally originated in China. U.S. pharmaceutical companies are conducting trials for new therapies in China and have signed multi-billion-dollar partnership agreements with Chinese firms to co-develop and market drugs." A vast talent pool—bolstered by the return of professionals from abroad—along with high efficiency and cost-effectiveness in R&D and clinical trials, combined with strong official emphasis and policy support for the biotech sector, are all accelerating China’s progress in this field. This, in turn, is attracting a large number of overseas companies—including American pharmaceutical firms—to expand their operations in China.

Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery in Beijing, China — Our Experience ($4,200 USD) I'm sharing our experience with gallbladder-preserving stone removal surgery at Aerospace Center Hospital in Beijing, China, in August 2026. My husband had suffered from gallstone attacks for almost a year, and after a particularly severe episode, we traveled to China hoping to save his gallbladder rather than have it removed. The surgery was successful, and almost two months later, he is eating normally, has no gallbladder pain, and is recovering extremely well. Our total hospital bill was 28,000 RMB (just under $4,200 USD), including surgery, eight days of hospitalization, all testing, postoperative care, and three months of medication. **Background** My husband experienced intermittent stomach pain for almost a year before we discovered that gallstones were causing it. His symptoms g

I had surgery and spent 8 days at a Chinese public hospital in a tier-2 city. Want to share my experience to hopefully help other foreigners. Overall the experience was extremely positive. I really don’t have a single thing to complain about. I’m sharing because it seems there’s a negative perception of public hospitals in China, especially in smaller cities. I chose my particular hospital because I needed a specialist, and the surgeon at this hospital had twenty years experience and was the chief surgeon. After meeting the surgeon he informed me I needed surgery. I knew this already but was worried I’d have to wait several months to have it done. He told me I could have the surgery as early as the following week, which is what I did. I needed an MRI and was able to have it done the following day after meeting the doctor. It was 650rmb. The machine also seemed very new. The following week I checked into the ho

A bit of a rant… Hospital in Sanya disappointed us I have to get this off my chest. Our China holiday took a bit of an unfortunate turn because my husband got sick with gastroenteritis… we think it happened because he ate something in Zhangjiajie from a street vendor. It looked like he was getting better but this morning, waking up in Sanya, his stomach ache got worse. The cramps were really bad and on top of that he got a fever. Getting sick during a holiday is as bad as is, but getting sick in a country where almost no one speaks English is the absolute worst. We took a Didi to the hospital and it was such a bad experience. It is so unclear what is expected of us. I mean… I wasn’t expecting anything to be in English but I was at least expecting some staff to write down or translate important information so we could get the help we nee

I had Hip replacement surgery. Had to do it. My right hip socket was being destroyed by a condition called: Degenerative arthritis with a deformed femoral head. In simple terms: the top of my be thigh bone (the “ball” that fits into the hip socket) wasn’t perfectly round anymore, which caused it to grind unevenly and hurt. It destroyed the cartilage in the socket and even made bone fragments which then calcified and limited my hip movement. This condition was only on my right side. I lived with this for almost 4 years. Every month the condition got worse until eventually it was too painful to even play with my kids. I tried to hold out for as long as I could. But this year it was time to get this sorted so I can live a normal life again. The road to recovery is long. But it will be totally worth it to be pain free again. I don’t even remember what that is like. Thank you all for the support and kind get well msgs 🙏🏽 it is greatly appreciated. A special thanks to my wife who has been literally super mom/wife for the past week. Words cannot explain or describe how much I love you and how amazing you have been in supporting and taking care of not just me but our family as we recover. You truly are an amazing woman. I am so blessed to have you by my side @SkyeZedA

Just Found Out My Dad Needs A Triple Heart Bypass He went in for a routine procedure today and they found a 90% blockage of his heart and are preparing a surgeon to meet with for a triple bypass open-heart surgery. I’m his only child and he has no one else. His 60th birthday is in 2 days and my 30th was a few days ago. I have extremely bad mental health problems and I’m the one that everyone is turning to for what to do and I’m scared and crying and alone and if there’s anyone here that could help me with what the process is for this and what it’s going to look like and what questions to ask or demands to make then I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve never been in this world without him and his help. Thank you.

For all of my medical professionals friends, I have a quiz for you. A little background- at 32 I began having severe palpitations (A tach) I had a dual av node ablated. Unfortunately 3 weeks later it returned with a a vengeance and it was a different rhythm. My resting pulse rate was always in the 130s. My average heart rate during daily activities was around 160. At work, with it being a strenuous job on air medical My heart rate on average was 180bpm. The is with medication and yes I had been put on every calcium blocker beta blocker sodium China and disdain. I went back into surgery which was extremely high risk. They had a medtronic rep in the EP ab to go over a few details. With this surgery they modified my SA node (primarily pacemaker of the heart) things went quite well for a few years and I began having palpitations that were not reminiscent of the past. Palpitations that suck the wind out of you and you fill an overwhelming sense of doom. Unfortunately I didn't record that episode because I left my phone downstairs. Yes, the internal recorder is connected via Bluetooth toot. H. The next time this rhythm occurred I hit record and within 5 minutes my doctor called me and said go to the hospital I'll meet you there for surgery. I said, oh god this is V tach isn't it. She firmy said yes and she's sure it's coming from my SA Node. Surgery went well. I haven't had a very tach episode in 3 years. Every now and then I may have a very short psvt burst. Lately I've had this non sustained rhythm daily.The top ecg was not long ago. The bottom 2 pics are from light? Make a guess! Right or wrong we can always learn from oneanother

мне после операции хирург сказал ходить ходунками 1,5 месяца, потом переходить на трость , также длительностью 1,5 месяца. У вас как-то все быстро, конечно это хорошо думаю. Но почему-то у меня все долго

мне тоже врач говорил что 1,5 месяца ходить только с ходунками,но у меня сегодня месяц как сделали операцию и я стала ходить сегодня с тростью.

What have you lost because of your hip replacement I had my hip replaced nearly 11 months ago. Was talking with my PT today and talking about my future goals for rehab, and mentioned the things that either the doctor has said I should never do, or I think are too risky because of the chance of breaking something else. Overall the hip replacement has not been positive and I really regret having done. **So here is a partial list of what I have lost.** * Being pain free, * Running, * Motorcycling, * skateboarding, * walking any distance over a few blocks * feeling youthful and vital - I feel like I've aged 20 years or more since the replacement * mountain biking, * road biking * lifting heavy weights

My father had this done on October 12, 2023 During surgery the doctor said that the main artery erupted and also another artery. He said it was difficult to control the blood but finally was successful. Then after the surgery I went to visit him and all his vital signs were fine. That he only needed to rest and in 2 or 3 days they would remove the breathing tube. Next day the doctor calls me saying that my dad passed away. That they did everything they could. Wtf something suspicious right here. The doctor never showed and I only talk to the nurse. The hospital owes me explanations. I miss you so much dad. Rip

Has anyone had the surgery in Greece or China? Hi everyone! I hope you are all keeping well :) I want to ask the question outlined in the title, "Has anyone had the surgery in Greece or China?" If so, then where did you go and what was the outcome? \[I am asking, as I am a Greek (36M) living in China (near Shenzhen/Hong Kong), and I have a hip labral tear as well as FAI (CAM type).\] Thank you so much for your input!

Dad had double bypass and I can’t see him like this. My 35f, Dad 57m had a double bypass today and is in the ICU still intubated. While the nurse did say he is responding to commands and such just seeing him with all those wires and everything is scaring me. I feel like a terrible daughter not being able to be in his room for more than 5 minutes, my mom 55f and brother 36m are with him. They had originally wanted extubation today they are now saying tomorrow. Is this something I should be worried about? Update/edit: I just wanted to say thank you everyone who commented and shared their experience and well wishes it was truly appreciated and very helpful to my family and I. They extubated him earlier today and he is doing much better. Again, thank you everyone who commented it means the world to me and really helped give me hope

Показывают сказки.Как можно ходить,если режут бедро,пилят кость и вбивают протез.Палец порежешь и то болит.Неделю в больнице лежала,обезбаливали на но

I had a 6 way bypass in 2018 with 5% chance of surviving..I was 61. Spent 12 days in hospital in icu. It was intense BUT I am now 67 and still here thanks to GOD and my Amazing Surgeon, Cardiologist and nurses. Do not let fear overcome you. Let peace overcome you instead. 💗

Just turned 50 been told i need this. I am am in hospital brickin myself. I wont lie, i am scared. EDIT: I did it. Triple bypass, i wont lie, its traumatic. I was told similar trauma to being hit by a truck. But if you have to get it done you will feel yourself getting stronger by the day. I am now 2 and a half weeks post surgery and feel better than i did for years before the surgery. Some of the scar has healed and the chest plate clicks, but the pain is nearly gone.

Glenn Close opened up about her hip replacement for the first time, revealing it is the cause for her using a cane. "Don't worry, I'm feeling great, I have my wonderful wonderful family around me," said beloved actress, 79, sharing her gratitude for how smoothly everything went. "My deep gratitude to Dr. Edwin Sue at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York for being a consummate physician in every way. Thank you for my new hip. 🙏🏻" 📽️ : #glennclose

Sometimes I tend to agree with those that say that once you become an Obidiot,you don't make use of your brains again. 1. National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Lagos State 2. National Orthopaedic Hospital, Jos, Plateau State 3. Federal Medical Centre, Abuja, FCT 4. Federal Medical Centre, Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State 5. Safe Hands Orthopedic Hospital, Abuja 6. Cedarcrest Hospitals, Lagos State. All have done hip replacement surgeries and are still doing it till date but because Shaggy decides to go abroad for his surgery,you decide to become a nuisance online like your rabid friends in the Obidiot movement.

Which hospital(s) did he go, that they couldn't do hip replacement surgery for him? Hip surgery that is routine surgery in general hospitals in Lagos? Make una softly softly dey lie now, you guys just derive pleasure in putting Nigeria down. Haba!

Husband (39) is getting triple bypass surgery soon. How can I support him? I know that he won't be able to carry things, and we've ordered him a reclining chair to sleep in. Is there anything else I should prepare for? I'm terrified, to be honest. Thankfully he doesn't have kidney issues or diabetes, and the doctors said his heart function is very strong. I'm still paralyzed with the fear that he won't make it through surgery, even though I know his risk factors are low.

I had a triple bypass in March of 2021. I was 68 at the time. I was discharged on day four. Overall, things went smoothly. I did not have any symptoms before or after the surgery. The VA saw issues during a routine stress test on a treadmill. They wanted to prevent a heart attack rather than wait for one. My biggest complaint was all the wires and tubes that totally entangled me. Also, the obnoxious and perpetual beeping from every system in the room drove me crazy.

I had hip surgery five months ago and my pain is terrible. I’m having physical therapy twice a week

🚨Chemotherapy began with mustard gas. In 1946, the Department of Defense funded Yale pharmacologists to find a medical use for a chemical-warfare poison. They tried it on one lymphoma patient. His tumors shrank. He died within a couple of months. That single case set the direction of oncology for the next 60+ years. Why? "Drug companies loved it because you could patent these things. In a natural treatment, you can't patent." The late Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez explains why the War on Cancer is a profitable lie. 👇

Lost my dad to a bypass surgery It has been 4 weeks since my dad very confidently went for a bypass surgery and never made it out. There’s just a big mix of emotions that I am going through right now. I live overseas but make sure to visit my parents halfway across the world every year. Dad was complaining about chest pain for about 10 days but refused to get it checked till it got unbearable. He mistook it for heartburn and me being an avid greys anatomy fan really tried to force him to get it checked out. When he finally went in and got an angiogram they discovered his condition was way worse than anticipated and past the point of stenting and decided a bypass was necessary. They also found out that one of his kindney’s had shrunk but we have no idea how as he did not have a single symptom. I made it home in time for

Health care workers of reddit, my dad is going to have triple bypass open heart surgery , what should he expect? We are all really scared.

Thanks reddit, also your prayers are appreciated , those of you in r/athiesm can just wish him good luck.

где делали операцию, подскажите куда лучше обращаться? кто знает?

🚨 “I CAN BREATHE AGAIN.” Her Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer update after 6 days of Fenbendazole. Her cancer had returned aggressively. In this video, she describes disease affecting multiple areas, including her liver, colon, stomach lining, and the tissue around her lungs. Breathing had become increasingly difficult. The pain was relentless, and she says she had reached a point where she felt as though her body was giving up. Then she shared an update that caught her attention. Just six days into taking fenbendazole, she says the inflammation felt reduced, breathing had become easier, and the sharp abdominal pains were happening less frequently. She was careful to acknowledge that she was still in significant pain. This wasn't a claim that her cancer had disappeared, but she felt a noticeable change in how she was doing. She believes fenbendazole was responsible. That is her interpretation of what happened, not something this video can establish. Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine. Researchers have explored its effects on cancer cells in laboratory studies, but it has not been established as a safe or effective cancer treatment in humans. Symptom changes alone cannot tell us whether a tumour is shrinking. With recurrent stage 4 ovarian cancer, breathing difficulties and severe abdominal pain need prompt medical attention. Anyone considering fenbendazole should discuss it with their oncology team, particularly because of potential liver injury and interactions with other treatments. Her update raises questions worth investigating. Confirming what is happening to the cancer requires medical follow-up and scan results.

Booked for a hip replacement, tell me your experiences! After almost five years of referrals, imaging, assessments, physio, appointments, I have finally procured an all-clear for hip replacement surgery! Former rugby athlete and horseback rider, here, spent life before 35 overweight but active. Got my weight down, and everything felt better, not that I would be upgrading stock parts before 50. Fellow Millennials, tell me about your failing joints and surgery outcomes please!

What do you wish you had to make your hip replacement recovery easier? My spouse is having hip replacement surgery early next year. Just wondering if there was something that you had around the house to help ease your recovery process. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Avoid bypass surgery I had a heart attack a month ago. During the coronary angiography, it was found that all major arteries were narrowed by atherosclerotic plaques (LM 50%, LAD 60%, and RCA 60%). The percentages measured are approximate; FFR and IVUS were not performed to confirm the percentages. A four-vessel bypass surgery has been recommended. Should I trust this assessment or request additional tests? Can these plaques be reduced by taking statins and can surgery be avoided?

My father had hip replacement surgery last month at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. He was discharged after one week, but his health has been steadily worsening since. Last night, his condition deteriorated severely. At 5 AM this morning, we rushed him to the emergency department, where he was admitted. Tests confirm a lung collapse, and his condition is currently critical. Daily treatment costs range from ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh, with an estimated total of ₹25 lakhs. We are urgently appealing for any support or donations to help with his care. If you can contribute, please send any amount possible to +91 99911 17212. Your support and prayers mean everything to us right now. Thank you. 🙏 #MedicalEmergency #HelpNeeded #AmritaHospital #Crowdfunding #LungCollapse

No. The reason it is so damn expensive is because we have a for profit healthcare system. My father in law just got a stint installed in China and it cost him out of pocket $200 and he walked in, had a scan, and they installed the stint on the spot, all for that $200. And the device is mass produced now. So just stop justifying that cost. But cool video.

Update: My husband has been in the hospital for the entire month of October. It has been a long journey, but he is doing incredibly well. In the beginning of September I forced him to go to the ER after I noticed one of his legs was really swollen. They did an ultrasound and found no blood clots so his doctor ordered tests to try to figure out what was causing the swelling. It ended up being heart failure. On September 30th he had a heart cath scheduled to try to see what was causing the heart failure. He’s not a smoker, he has no family history of heart failure or heart disease, the men in his family live into their 90s. During the heart cath they found blockage in all of his main arteries. One was 100% blocked, widow maker 80%+ blocked, it was bad. They admitted him to the hospital to run more tests to make sure his heart was healthy enough for open heart bypass surgery (CAVG). Thank God he was a candidate and he ended up with a quadruple bypass surgery on the 6th. Recovery is going amazing. They gave him an Impella 5.5 during the surgery to give his heart a chance to recover, but that has made his hospital stay even longer. I am so grateful for all of the prayers and messages of support. I love all of you and I can’t wait to get back to researching, posting and doing the @PSPod25 podcast. I miss you all so much, but my husband is my best friend and my whole world and he needs me right now. Don’t give up on me. I will be back as soon as I possibly can. Right now I am just focused on him getting released from the hospital so we can go home and sleep in our bed. Hopefully it will be soon. Keep the prayers coming. And even if you’re young with no history of heart disease, get checked out by a cardiologist. Most people in my husband’s position never know they have anything wrong until they have a massive heart attack or just drop dead. We are so blessed to have caught it before anything happened.

I can now see why people get black pilled by the health care system!! My wife worked at a decent size hospital chain and went in for Heart bypass surgery, deve pneumonia in the hospital, was on a ventilator for 8 days, just go home a week ago and now the hospital chain she worked for fired her. Unfucking believable!!! They justified it by saying she was under a year of employment with them. She still has 3 weeks of recovery and was planning on going back to work for them. The worst part is they didn't wait a week before posting her job. They literally called her an hour ago to inform her she was fired.

мне после операции хирург сказал ходить ходунками 1,5 месяца, потом переходить на трость , также длительностью 1,5 месяца. У вас как-то все быстро, конечно это хорошо думаю. Но почему-то у меня все долго

мне тоже врач говорил что 1,5 месяца ходить только с ходунками,но у меня сегодня месяц как сделали операцию и я стала ходить сегодня с тростью.

Hello world I'm sure everyone wants to know where I've been , well I've been in the hospital , I had open heart surgery , A triple bypass, I just got home today. No worries everything went well I'll be busy doing rehab for a few months But I'll try to keep Ya'll up to date❤️🥰🔥🙏I took this yesterday. Missed Ya'll , Be safe and God Bless.

My father had this done on October 12, 2023 During surgery the doctor said that the main artery erupted and also another artery. He said it was difficult to control the blood but finally was successful. Then after the surgery I went to visit him and all his vital signs were fine. That he only needed to rest and in 2 or 3 days they would remove the breathing tube. Next day the doctor calls me saying that my dad passed away. That they did everything they could. Wtf something suspicious right here. The doctor never showed and I only talk to the nurse. The hospital owes me explanations. I miss you so much dad. Rip

I had a 6 way bypass in 2018 with 5% chance of surviving..I was 61. Spent 12 days in hospital in icu. It was intense BUT I am now 67 and still here thanks to GOD and my Amazing Surgeon, Cardiologist and nurses. Do not let fear overcome you. Let peace overcome you instead. 💗

Just turned 50 been told i need this. I am am in hospital brickin myself. I wont lie, i am scared. EDIT: I did it. Triple bypass, i wont lie, its traumatic. I was told similar trauma to being hit by a truck. But if you have to get it done you will feel yourself getting stronger by the day. I am now 2 and a half weeks post surgery and feel better than i did for years before the surgery. Some of the scar has healed and the chest plate clicks, but the pain is nearly gone.

I had total hip replacement at 41; 3 years ago. My surgeon let me hammer in my own femoral stem.

I had a triple bypass in March of 2021. I was 68 at the time. I was discharged on day four. Overall, things went smoothly. I did not have any symptoms before or after the surgery. The VA saw issues during a routine stress test on a treadmill. They wanted to prevent a heart attack rather than wait for one. My biggest complaint was all the wires and tubes that totally entangled me. Also, the obnoxious and perpetual beeping from every system in the room drove me crazy.

My husband is having this surgery this coming week. Please pray for him 🙏🙏🙏

My father is going for one tomorrow. Pray for him my fellow Humans. ❤

My father had a hip replacement at 89. His first surgery. Zero pain afterwards, only in his leg muscle that he let atrophy. Don't let this dissuade you, orthos do hip and knee all the time. They are pros.

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста где делали и какой у вас врач был ?

الإشعاع ليس ربًا حتى يَشفي كل أحد، هو سبب من الأسباب. وقد سبق أن ودّعت والدتي بعد أن أخذته، فلم يستجب جسدها له. فلا تجعلوا من أي علاج معجزة، فالشفاء بيد الله وحده. :::

Мне два тазобедренных сустава поменяли.Не бойтесь самой операции.Ничего не больно.У меня сильные боли были до операции.Сейчас этого нет.Всем удачной операции и хорошего врача.

As a Chinese who lived in the UK during 2020 - 2025, one of my frustrations was getting to see a doctor, even though I had private insurance through the company I was working for. I had a non-urgent surgery situation, and it took me 2 months to receive 1 session with my GP, 2 sessions with a private doc and waited for an extra 2 months to receive a surgery appt. with my private doc. After I returned to China, I went to a public hospital without an appt. and got to see a doc with 1h waiting time and all the blood tests checked. Of course, I would need to pay, but it only cost me £30, which included £25 redeemable by my national medical insurance. And my surgery got arranged for 3 days later, 95% of the medical fees got covered by my national medical insurance.

Expat here in Chongqing, China. When I get sick here, I go to a public hospital in the morning at 7:30am, pay $2-3 for specialist consultation fees, get diagnosed, pay for screening and tests (which usually cost $30 for extensive blood tests and $70-100 for screening), go to the doctor again with the reports, collect medicines, go home before 1pm. No appointment needed, efficient, no exorbitant costs. And the local Chinese pay a fraction of what I have to pay, with their medical care scheme.

My Mom flew to China for her dental surgery (from the US) because the flight itself costed less than the procedure here. It’s really sad people can’t even afford to get sick in the US, literally.

I have been living in china for 14 years ans always had some indigestion issues when went to hospital diagnosed with stmoch cancer, got the tumor removed within 3 days of diagnosed recived the best treatment with the lighting speed ! all coverd by Chinese healthcare system, chemo was susidies by gov, literally piad 5000 rmb for 7 days for a super confortable private room at hospital. living cancer free for past 5 years. THANK YOU CHINA.
