[–] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) Taiwan sounds amazing! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago My entire mindset of Healthcare had to change when I moved here. Previously in America, when I got a fever or a rash or a major allergy, I would see if its worth it to go to a clinic and sit for a few hours with other sick people and pay 75USD for them to tell me to go to a drug store and eat some Tylenol. Now, I go into the clinic downstairs even if I have a cold. 10USD and they gave me a week's worth of meds. It's normal to go back to the doctor 2 days after if your condition worsens or if you just had a question. I have yearly check ups and my doctor told me I needed to do a colonoscopy. If I opted for staying awake during it, its 10USD. But I elected to be put to sleep. It was 310usd. Come visit us on your next vacation! The people here are very polite and pretty happy. permalink fedilink source parent
