had insurance so only $6,600 out of pocket

Out of pocket I have to pay my travel and stay to Hong Kong, so maybe 2000 RMB

Maybe more

But if I wasn't a giant, I could have done it all here

But my leg still hurts, so I'm not sure if it even worked yet

huh

discetomy and you still feel pain?

also fun fact that docs didn't tell me, or maybe it's just my weak ass frame

I can't carry anything heavier than 25lbs without feeling it. if it's 50lbs or so, then for sure it's all fucked up again

You should have anything nerve irritation cleared after surgery for sure though

They ended up not cutting the spine part for some reason

Just "nerve decompression"

I believe I had about half my spinal disc removed

Hmm so you feel it when you carry heavy stuff?

oh fuck yeah man

Yeah that's what I wanted but they said I'm too young

And they said the main cause is my mild scoliosis

oh that's something entirely different

Yeah but scoliosis surgery is way more invasive and expensive, didn't want to consider that . But I'm a pretty big guy, so maybe if I lose weight there would be less pressure on the nerve

When I lie down, it feels like my whole body is on that one part of my spine

>for u

chink surgeons (esp those who operate on foreign patients) are really good

that may be so, but the last two times I was in shanghai I had the british international hospital as an emergency contact

I can't think of a bigger nightmare for me then having to have an operation done by a doctor who is not from Ireland, Britain or America

half of britbong doctors are pajeets

I didn't want to be racist and say preferably white

I just don't trust Dr Nigeria or Dr India with their country specific qualification

lel

most of the guys at the britbong int hospital are actually chinks from hong kong

but they speak perfect english and are actually able to understand me

this is in shanghai you said?

yeah

what happened to you in shanghai?

in 2012 my meds got wet and I had to get new ones

I need a specific brand and pharmacies weren't reliable

ah ok

it's so weird walking in there and hearing everyone speak english

huge amount of white employees too

ye must be in shanghai

thats super cool...

I think it was this one http://www.seimc.com.cn/

actually shanghai would have a lot of very good health professionals i reckon

I was there for about two hours

my friends gf is flying all the way to shanghai to get her eyelids done since it has the best eye surgeons there

pretty stupid stuff

about half an hour waiting, half an hour waiting for them to grab the right meds, another fucking hour filling out paperwork

how much did this all cost

36 euros because I had a travel insurance

most people in the waiting room were other foreigners

probably also why they're in pudong

last time i went to a hospital in china was to get these painful injections on my bum

i mustve been 5 orsomething

still remember it all due to how unpleasant it was

why where you in china

oh right you're chink

yer

visit some relatives and shit

ive only been there three times, last time 10 years ago

more like 8 yrs ago actually

where in china?

just my parents place (dong guan)

and hongkong, guangzhou

next time i go im gonna go for a month or two

and see the whole of cheena

dongguan is north of shenzen isnt it

maybe cant see the whole but a lot

ye it is

i m dying to check it all out

never go to shanghai during summer

yerr you told me

super hot

fucking 42c peaks

mmm

people literally went to the subway stations *because it had airconditioning*

meanwhile it was still 30c down there

lel

i remember it being pretty hot in dong guan too

fuck man it gets hot and sunny there

and sweaty

i cant remember if it was humid

it probably is humid

I still want to visit hong kong and shenzen sometime

kathmandu in nepal too

nice

i went to the Himalayas of india a few months ago

atm i want to visit taiwan and china

I also want to visit pyongyang when the war is over

I hope they don't destroy too much of the nk propaganda

lel

if youre in china then its not too hard to get there

as long as they allow it

honestly that's what I'm most concerned about, NK has a shit ton of propaganda stuff that's really cool

yeah but NK right now is too scary

besides I've already almost been arrested by the chinese once

lol really

what for

I took photos of the shanghai municipal people's government building and they didn't like that so I had to erase them from my camera

hahha

like while walking away from it a fucking police van stopped right next to me

dam man
