Vietnam Emergency Room and Medical Tourism Insights(with costs!)

I thought I would put up a video about my recent trip to the emergency room and the costs associated with it. Plus the cost for Orthopedic surgery on my hand.
Also, information about a cosmetic surgery I had in the past In Vietnam. I speak about the cost information and results for anyone looking to come to Vietnam for medical tourism.
My costs would actually be on the upper end compared to a local hospital. While I believe the local hospitals do an excellent job, they can be busy with long wait times and could be difficult for anyone who doesn’t speak English.
I forgot to mention it in the video but I also had LASIK surgery in Vietnam about 4 years ago. I believe this cost me about $1200 and was worth every penny. This was at a very local eye hospital in District 1 and there were some uncomfortable moments when I wasn’t near my friend who was translating for me prior to the surgery. But again, well worth it and I will do it again in the future to touch my vision up as it deteriorates over time.
Also, I have thin eye skin(technical name?) so I couldn’t opt for the cheaperLlasik around $800 for both eyes.
In the video I am visiting FV hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.

Omg thank you so much for this information! I was researching medical care in Vietnam. Your video is so informative. I'm coming next month for the first time. I will stay in Hanoi for a few months and then I will go to Ho Chi Minh. I was hoping to get a tooth implant and dermatology treatments. But I wasn't sure how good the medical care is there. Thank you for your video!

I’m glad you found it helpful! I hope you enjoy your time here and are able to get the treatments you are looking for.

love the video, very useful and provides great insight into healthcare cost. all the best!

[@Backofthebiketours]

Glad you enjoyed it! Vietnam is a good option for some health care maintenace that is more expensive in other places. Plus, you can go relax on a resort for a week after :)

My wife used to pay around $700 for routine pelvic ultrasound about 3 years ago. She paid $1475 for the same procedure just about 3 months ago in the Pacific Northwest USA.

I have an accident while hiking to my forearm. I went to the emergency room. The nurse cleaned it up and bandage it. The bill came out to $579 and my insurance only paid $174. I have to pay $405. I am in San Jose, CA.

[@Backofthebiketours]

I hope it’s better now. Quite costly just to be cleaned and bandaged. Luckily insurance helped you with a bit!
