When I first came to study abroad, I always felt that American doctors didn't understand my body. They didn't really understand the thousand words in my fearful inquiry. For example, just after you gave birth, American doctors let you drink cold water. At this time, how do you explain China's confinement to them?
After living in America for many years, I finally got to know and understand the medical system in this country. After several outpatient and inpatient treatments with my family, I like the standardized treatment process in American hospitals more and more. In addition, my husband is a specialist practicing medicine in the United States, so it is obvious to pick out several advantages of seeking medical treatment in American hospitals from the perspective of patients and American doctors' families.
First, the red envelope system in American hospitals does not dominate the mainstream.
You don't need to give red envelopes to American doctors to see a doctor in the United States, especially if you need to use a knife. For example, all three of my children were born in America. I don't have to give them a penny or a red envelope, whether it's the gynecologist who delivered my baby or the anesthesiologist who anesthetized me. The point is, even if I don't give them a red envelope, I don't have to worry about what they will do to me during the treatment.
My husband has been practicing medicine in the United States for several years, and the biggest "red envelope" he received was a restaurant gift card with a face value of tens of yuan. This small meal card is an American veteran's affirmation of her husband's careful care. Even without this meal card, my husband will take care of him as always.
Second, in American hospitals, you don't have to worry about counterfeit drugs and unnecessary expenses.
Counterfeit drugs may be one of the four new inventions with the most China characteristics. In America, we never have to worry about the attack of counterfeit drugs. People often say, alas, it is too expensive to see a doctor in America. Are there arbitrary charges in American hospitals? That's not true. It is true that American hospitals charge high fees. But American doctors certainly don't have to dress ants in elephant's sick clothes.
Give an example to illustrate the rigor of drug use in American hospitals. When my family was three years old, Dabao got a severe pneumonia. For such a serious disease, American doctors only give children oral antibiotics. At that time, my thinking was very characteristic of China. Of course, I know that anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory infusion will come soon. At that time, I almost asked the doctor, could you give the child some liquid? The American doctor smiled at me after listening. There is no need for infusion, but oral antibiotics must be effective. The final result proves that the American doctor is really far-sighted and her prediction is completely correct. By the way, there are three children in our family, ranging in age from seven to seventeen. So far, they have never had blood transfusions or injections in the United States. You see, American doctors are so strict about infusion. Do patients who are worried that he will make their stomachache still need brain CT?
Third, go to the United States to see a doctor, and the doctor-patient relationship in American hospitals is relatively harmonious.
Every time I go to a physical examination, American doctors are greeted with smiles, which is essential. At the same time, patients in American clinics can get maximum privacy protection. For example, if a female doctor examines my breasts, she will also let me change clothes in the clinic alone. In five minutes, she will carefully knock on the door outside and ask, can I come in now? American nurses who help American doctors are equally polite. As a patient, it is very valuable to be respected and protected by doctors.
American doctors attach great importance to the postoperative follow-up of any minor operation. Once, my husband had a gastroscope. On the day of the examination, the gastroscope specialist urged you to write down my home phone number. Be sure to call me if you don't feel well tonight. Just a little gastroscope. We didn't take it seriously. The seriousness and responsibility of American doctors really touched us.
Fourth, American hospitals save people first and then charge them.
No matter what serious illness you have, no matter how short of money you are, if you need emergency treatment, you can go to an American hospital. There is no need to pay a deposit or bring any cash. As long as you fill in various forms of American hospitals, you will enter the treatment process.
No hospital in any country can avoid unsatisfactory accidents or accidents. American hospitals are no exception. However, the relatively standardized treatment procedures in American hospitals will minimize possible accidents. This is the most unforgettable. In American hospitals, it is estimated that you can't find the doctor-patient relationship like Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao.
Fifthly, I recently heard that singer Liu Huan had an operation in the United States because of femoral head necrosis. With stupid ideals, even the stars went to the United States to see a doctor. Do we ordinary overseas Chinese need to make a choice between Chinese and American hospitals?
A netizen once asked me whether I should have brain surgery in the United States or China. My answer is, of course, I did it in America. Shortly after listening to my advice, he sent me this letter: Dr. Chen, first of all, thank you for providing me with information about American medical care. At the same time, I tell you that my daughter-in-law has meningioma (benign) in her brain. She took the graduation exam immediately after the operation in the United States. Now she has graduated and will go to work next month. I sincerely thank you for forwarding your message to my son. As for the medical expenses, she was discharged from the hospital after consultation with the hospital and only paid a part (my son's savings were used up). The hospital is really humanistic, better than the mainland. I thank you for being my good adviser!
