The Medical personal its having a big failure not only here but around the world... there's a basic idea.. the doctor must have a diagnosis with interogation and physical examination, HEAR THAT???!?! the exams are used to CONFIRM the first impression not to make diagnosis.... IF ur doctor doesnt touch u ... simply dont trust him....
chinese medicine its the same... they (we) have to look!!!
Now chinese culture have a problem... u cant touch people, not family or friends... so when this medical students go to the hospital to learn... they cant do it... they cant practice.. so the result its a person who listen to a story and prescribes...
I have many stories to tell, even mine with apendicitis... ufff
When u go to the physician if u cant speak chinese, bring someone to do the translation , dont ask many questions, but push them to do what you need if you know.... exams, medication, so on...
If you have the chance to pay to get a foreign doctor, then ask all the questions, and just enjoy the ride...
If you go to the foreign-expensive hospitals that charge a lot but its a chinese doctor, well u can ask all the questions u want but make sure the chinese its qualified and that he or she examines you.. as i told u before its a good sign, the ones that seldom look at you... just run!!!! |

There is this new GP family medical centre, from Singapore, which has been operating for the last year in Gubei, Changning.
Think it's called the Healthway Family Medical Centre, not far from carrefour Gubei, at 388 Hong Bao Shi Road (红宝石路388号,一楼, 古北，长宁区), 1st floor, Gubei, Changning District. China branch of the established Healthway Medical Group in Singapore.
Good personal and caring service, nice environment and friendly doctors, Australian-trained, Singapore-trained english-speaking drs from Singapore or mandarin speaking GPs also available.
Price very reasonable, they even have this new attractive offer package called the "Healthway Member Card", which offers 10 consultations for a year for only 1500rmb, which is even transferrable between 4 persons. (essentially means that it is only 150rmb per consultation). They have a range of insurance cards which they accept too.
Another healthcare option available in Shanghai. Think their contact numbers are (51551858 ext 8117 / 13761812971 ), if anyone needs. |

What is the difference between a private clinic (like GuoBin Hospital) and the others? My insurance will only cover "registered" hospitals...so does a place like GuoBin qualify? Thanks. |

^ Your insurance company should have a handout list of all the participating (registered) hospitals. If they don't, call your insurance office for verification. |

did somebody ever had problem of hairloss? I am kinda pissed off, I've been in several hosppitals here in shanghai, and it seems useless.. the total time they need to have a diagnosis is just minute or some... you can feel that it's bullsh*t, cuz none of the medicine they told to use helps.... Does anybody know a good place to go with this kind of problem?? |

I just came back from the "6th peoples hospital" on yishanlu
If you live in Xujiahui & you value your time, I can only recommend this to you. Its a university (jiaotong) hospital, tripleA status (among the best in china), they are specialists for broken bones.
very efficient processing.
From the moment I went in to the moment I went out... 40 min
(including 1st time registration, finding my rooms&docs, X-ray, diagnosis, paying (70yuan alltogether guys,,.. seventy yuan).
great place.. and none of this bullfeces tests they do at the expat hospitals to make money off your ensurance and waste your time. |

The 6th hospital has a good reputation. During the Sichuan earthquake recovery, several of the top doctors from there flew to the disaster area to help out. Although the English communication is limited (the signage is in English), you could still get around, using body language and possibly getting someone to go with you if you're nervous. It is a very busy hospital, but the prices are MUCH cheaper than the expat hospitals. |
