I live in USA, was recently diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis (bone death) in my right arm. It’s so painful all the time & can’t afford healthcare for shoulder replacement after losing my labor job. The last 6 months have been a race to build my video editing business and move to Cambodia with a health plan like this. Thank you for sharing!!!
@@briang-h2n it’s actually osteonecrosis of the shoulder. The humeral head deteriorates and breaks apart because it does not receive blood to regenerate tissues
All the best 🙏 Cambodia will be better I think for all your body joints .. I have no joint pains here yet had lots of them living in a cold climate after a life of building construction
@@donbrashsux I read a lot about humidity and the effects it has on joints that are damaged with arthritis, but I learned it’s more about barometric pressure and the effects of storms moving and it actually gets the joints in a lot of pain. I couldn’t find many answers with my Google research on arthritis in Cambodia but I appreciate your comments!!! This makes me feel a lot more confident in moving there

In Cambodia I broke my arm in a motorbike accident, first went to a clinic, patched me up, in Battambang, then went to a hospital in Phnom Penh, they advised me to go to a Thai hospital, this was about 10 years ago!
Good to hear the honest opinion from Malaysian doc. Routine screening: ie. most blood tests/EKG/CXR not recommended. Sure, occasional blood count, random glucose, fasting blood fat, blood pressure check, weight, urine for protein worthwhile.
Khema hospital is high standard one in Cambodia. and the price also a little bit high😁, plus it's private hospital. Big hospital of government is affordable price, but there are a lot of Cambodian people.
@@coreana.aesthetics You're corrected. Pay high price for good hospitality. 😁 but doctors, equipment and technology not above big hospital owned by government.
I recommend everyone have a try at big hospital government owned Example: Calmette Hospital , KHMER -SOVIET FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL , Cambodia-China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital. Affordable price, most doctors educated from France and latest technology equipment is there, but a lot of people so you have to wait for your turn to meet doctors. If your problem cannot solve visit neighbors countries hospitals. Best Luck everyone. 🥰
CAT scan or MRI and your location? Battambang has both. SR and PP probably have both also. In Battambang call Handa Medical Center and they will be able to tell you were there is a CAT or MRI. Handa does not have these machine but they will be able to tell you where. Handa and World Mate are the best in Battambang.
Yes, a lot of ambulance people do not care about people life. It's their business, they only care about the money. We Cambodian also hate this. But some of the big national hospitals are reliable, and some from the military squads are going to help you for free (they're specialized in rescuing).
@@jazzpianoman01 There's a video about American people without insurance in USA hospitals. When an old, ill person without it is brought to the hospital ends up on the lawn across the street from it face down.
Love your style Ryan. I'm trying to produce content like this next door for Teachers and the like coming here. But I aint got the years of YT to make mine as funny and cool. I dropped that video this week the week you dropped yours. I was just finished editing and I was like DAMNNNNNN that's how I sholdda dang don dunnit. I gotta cool it up a bit without ripping of your style - not that I know how to edit like that anyway. Your next door neighbor and stalker fan Miss Liza
US with no insurance, our local clinic is $75 just to get in the door and talk to a doctor a few minutes and explain things. Everything else is an arm and a leg, which you can sell at the organ donor in the parking lot! hehe EDIT: semen was fine right? RIGHT?
Salut,je souhaite augmenter le diamètre de mon sexe:aux États-Unis dans les hôpitaux publics et privés m'ont donné un devis varie entre 10000 dollars us et 12000 dollars us.Si quelqu'un peut me fournir cette information pour cet acte au Cambodge 😮
Too bad for you. Maybe you'll grow to love me, or maybe one day I'll annoy you so much that you'll stab your eyes out. Either way, thanks for watching.
Best Hospital in Phnom Penh is a lesser know "Sen Sok International University Hospital' in Sen Sok. Most of the doctors there are Russians but its a really good hospital and affordable too.
I recommend you try to visit big hospital owned by the government have everything you need. But many Cambodian people go their, you have to wait your turn. Example: Calmette Hospital , KHMER -SOVIET FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL , Cambodia-China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital .
@@wrt8883 Sunrise private Japanese hospital also expensive as I knew, it's a high class hospital. Cambodian people usually visit big hospital own by government I wrote above. 🥰
Medicine up to ten years ago was taught in French, Engineering in English, Finance in English and Khmer I would assume the same for Law. But I don’t know anyone that took Law. Not sure about know. I’ve seen a translated Khmer medicine book it would be easier to learn English, I’m not sure Latin or Greek get along well with Khmer words.
On the upside A.i will rectify the problem of all those English written books for medicine. There's a business for some enterprising Khmer for the medical industry there...
@@Jack-2day I disagree AI won’t really help the Khmer language is too archaic and I think the wonderful young people of Cambodia recognize this by studying English. Some thing just don’t translate the closest language to Khmer is Sanskrit.
I don't know either. It's hard to compare. I can only go off of what I'm told. ...Unless I break my arm, go for treatment, break my arm again and go for treatment at another hospital. Probably not worth it
I personally like Intercare for standard doctor visits, they dont overdo the tests or medication. Been to Royal for 'emergency' care (kid needed some stitches) and it was decent, but stopped going there for smaller things because they are very impersonal and just order as many tests as your insurance will pay for. Insurance covers it, so cant comment on price.
Free in NZD, private with insurance that no one has maybe $50NZD if it's out of your free check up schedule. Private without insurance, cheaper to die (maybe $200). $100NZD = $61USD
Rate the hospitals via expat standard. Show what Cambodian hospitals look like. You can videotape the faculties ( registration, waiting areas, ER, parking, building, lab facilities, clinic room, etc…
Calmette is excellent. State of the art equipment and mostly French trained doctors. The wards are not as state of the art as the hospital itself and you will need family/friends to check in on you and arrange meals or you can easily find yourself going hungry. Semi private room (2 patients) is $100 daily. A surgery I was quoted at $10,000 by several private hospitals cost me $1300 and the result was excellent...entirely due to the skill of the surgical team. I recommend Advance European Medical Clinic as far as finding an English or French speaking GP's goes. Excellent staff of European doctors and fees are reasonable ($30-$40/visit approx). My doctor, Francesca Cainelli, is fantastic and truly goes the extra mile with her patient care.
But what about healthcare for your poor mascot “Itchy” who had his foot severed? Is there any hope for him? Will Cambodian doctors be able to staple it back onto his poor leg??
If… you sick .. or .. ready to drop dead. Buy one way flight back from we’re is you country. Is much cheaper and much save hospital that in Cambodia. Assurance in Cambodia will only take you money and that it. Yes doctors in Cambodia will sell you anything for money. If you sick one way back to you country. Is much saver. From airport direct to hospital
@@playbackparrot hi. I was thinking of 200 sleeping tables and 200 morphine tables will do the job. Deep sleep. 😴…?… oxycodone… how many tables you need to do the job….? Will that work….?
General yearly check up with comprehensive blood test, body scan, X-ray are much cheaper than US… simple illness is cheaper. Get 2nd or third opinions from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore et for major illnesses . Buy insurance for major trauma or illness if you qualify…
It seems a lot more expensive than other third world countries, they must be subsidized. In China it was so cheap and the people working there were chill. I heard in Zambia, the government hospitals are good and pretty much free and they don't cause you complications to get more money out of you like they do at private hospitals, same thing happened to someone at a private hospital in China, they ripped the placenta out after she gave birth so she hemorrhaged and had to stay in the hospital for days, it makes sense as a business model
Hi Itchy Feet. I have a topic that might be of interest to many for you to cover. I just returned from Cambodia and am now back in the States. One of the things that I appreciated during my dining out in Cambodia was that there was little to no expectation on "Tips". Tips has been a major annoyance, obligation, and thorn on the side at where I live. It was refreshing not being nagged every time I placed an order (big or small). I tipped anyway but it was nice not being obligated all the time. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this topic. ciao.
I rarely tip in restaurants here. I always tip when I use ride hailing apps and food delivery apps though. I can't really explain why. Maybe because I feel that service is undervalued. Tipping in restaurants is a bit weird here because a lot of people would tip in a more expensive place, but they wouldn't tip the person taking their order at a pork and rice place. I dunno. I've always hated tipping, especially in North America where it is considered mandatory.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap In every restaurant in Canada tips are expected in cash. I remember a bad service at a restaurant in Toronto, but still people left tips.
Came off my bike in the jungle. When I reached a village a couple of hours later I saw a blue cross doctor sign. The doctor spent 45 minutes cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging, charged $2.50. I have has a hernia op in Siem Reap. Cost $1000. All good now.
@@yukonjeffimagery Polyclinic Phasar Krom on Psar Khroam rd. . I had the inguinal mesh op. All ok now, but took a while to stop aching. After the op you are left alone in your room, no pee bottle
10y ago I recall someone telling me a guy had a heart attack in the bar and they just rubbed tiger balm on him. Another told me if start to look sick in a Cambodian hotel they will throw you out in case you die - lots of hassle from the government 🤣
I was in Cambodia last year and was sick for over a month in kampot. Some speculation it was dengue, some that it was Covid. After visiting several small clinics, I ended up at the hospital. They all hand you the same three things: antibiotics, antiparasitic, and antidiarrheals. The hospital was so unclean; if it was a restaurant, I wouldn't have eaten there. I was given three times the safe dosage of the antiparasitic. Luckily, I researched each medication they gave me. I finally fled back to the US to be treated by a real Dr.
I have had lab work done in Siem Reap by a lab and went to a different one to compare results. They were significantly different, which was confusing. It made me wonder which was accurate and was either accurate. Probably not the best scientific experiment, but I don't trust having blood work done.
Prevention from traffic accident is important.. I I fell and injured my toe… went to ER Japanese hospital… $200 with meds… much cheaper than US… major problem, need to access hospitals in Thailand, Singapore etc…
When you go to the doctors in America now you don’t even feel welcome there. The staff are always rude and short with you . and you can plan on waiting forever .even if you have an appointment. Healthcare in America is a joke.
I find it a little weird that in a video from last year you refer to health insurance as a scam that you would never pay for, but now that you're getting paid by an insurance company you're recommending it. Maybe you were just joking in the old video and I took it too literally? I also understand that people can change their minds about things. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
Apologies for going off topic but just heard Manny Pacquiao will be at the big Kun Khmer fight, sponsored by Hunaman beer, cheers, hope you can do a vlog on it.
Many things you do not know. If you have a work permit you are covered for health insurance at the Cambodian Referral Hospitals. Cambodia has very good medical insurance. Pills broken bones very good, heart transplant no. Calmett in Phnom Penh has been a problem for foreigners. Most of the village Dr's will respect the insurance card from your local community. For those with a work permit go to your local referral hospital and for $2 get your yearly health permit card.
I think it's a real shame the check-up sheet is offered in English. Honest personal opinion is that if someone can't read the blood test results in Khmer and ask for them in Khmer, they shouldn't be given access to healthcare. It's about making foreigners have a basic level of respect if you know what I mean. When I was in China I didn't bother going to the hospital until I knew how to write Azithromycin, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, antibiotic resistence, etc. out in oriental pictographs.
Singapore is a Garden of Eden. There is no place on earth I'd rather live. You can buy a Bentley, high end Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, or even a Silver Shadow for pennies on the dollar because filthy rich don't keep cars for more than a year or two. I hope that helps? If you're in Singapore the place to be seen is Raffles.
Accidents on bikes are the problem & ambulance drivers & hospitals often will NOT do anything until CASH is paid upfront. A recent bike accident in Siem Reap resulted in a foreigner having his leg amputated because gangrene had set in before emergency treatment commenced. This guy had Insurance from a reputable well known global Insurance company . Also, what if you’re unconscious, can’t find ATM card etc etc ….your f@cked. The best insurance in the world won’t help if that’s how they operate & often you won’t get a receipt for cash ( tip) paid to get help. It’s just how it is here. If your house catches fire…unless you throw cash at the fire truck , they won’t turn the hose on. However……the beer is only 50 cents, $20 whores & they’re giving the cigarettes away……so there’s the balance in the equation.
