You are not even going to believe me. I came to the hospital, my leg goes numb so I don't know what's wrong with it. So I came to the hospital, St. John, it is a private hospital here in Kunming, so wait until you hear the prices."
"I came here without an appointment. I paid 15.5 RMB! Look at the time, 2 pm. That's when I paid, that's when I got here. 15.5 RMB at 2 pm. Then I waited around seven minutes to see the doctor, foreign doctor by the way, American doctor, and I went in."
"He told me let's do an MRI immediately and I'm like 'what's the price gonna be?'. 486 RMB, look at the price, 486 RMB and look at the time once again. That is how fast everything happened. I went down to get their MRI."
"Now an MRI takes about 15 minutes right? There were two people in front of me, I waited an half an hour. Look at the time that I went in to get my MRI. Now you need to remember in America, this doctor, this American doctor told me in America you make an appointment, you have to wait up to three months to get an MRI done and it costs thousands of dollars. I paid just under 500 RMB for mine."
"And I got physical therapy by the way, and I'm out of here at 16:20. 2 hours 20 minutes - I saw the doctor, got my MRI, the doctor checked my scans by the way, they were checking it and they said nothing's wrong I just need some physical therapy. Then instead of just telling me, they actually showed me how to do it as well. This is just incredible."
"I'm not saying this to brag or anything like that, I'm just saying that this is what's possible in the world! Every time I go to a hospital in China, I just get emotional that so many people in other countries have to struggle, have to have so much pressure because of medical bills.

你甚至不会相信我。我来到医院了，因为我的腿麻了，所以我不知道出了什么问题。我来到了圣约翰医院，这是昆明的一家私立医院，等你们听到价格时一定会大吃一惊。”

“我是在没有预约的情况下直接来的。我付了 15.5 元人民币！看看时间，下午 2 点。这就是我付钱的时间，也是我到达这里的时间。下午 2 点，付了15.5 元。然后我等了大约七分钟就见到了医生，顺便说一下是位外国医生，美国医生，然后我就进去了。”

“他告诉我马上做一个核磁共振（MRI），我就想‘价格会是多少呢？’。486 元人民币，看看这个价格，486 元。再看看时间，这一切发生得太快了。我下楼去做核磁共振。”

“核磁共振大约需要 15 分钟对吧？但我前面有两个人，我等了半个小时。看看我进去做核磁共振的时间。你们要记住，在美国，这位美国医生告诉我，在美国你需要预约，为了做一个核磁共振你甚至得等上三个月，而且要花费数千美元。而我这次只付了不到 500 元人民币。”

“顺便说一下，我还做了物理治疗。16 点 20 分我就离开了。2 小时 20 分钟——我看完了医生，做了核磁共振，医生还查看了我的扫描结果，他们检查后说没什么问题，只需要一些物理治疗。然后他们不仅是告诉我怎么做，还实际演示给我看。这简直不可思议。”

“我这么说不是为了吹嘘或类似的意图，我只是想说，在这个世界上这是可能的！每次我在中国去医院，我都感到很激动，因为在其他国家有那么多的人不得不为此挣扎，因为医疗账单而承受巨大的压力。
