In America the bills shows up before the doctor does

在美國，賬單比醫(yī)生先到。

@elam
and goes to collections before first regular bill is sent

在第一份普通賬單寄出之前就進了催收。

@uRaSk33tSta1n
I had that happen once. They refused to let me pay anything that day and a little over month later got a collection notice. That ER visit ended up being free since they denied payment and no bill sent

我遇到過一次。那天他們不讓我付錢，一個多月后我收到了催收通知。那次急診最終是免費的，因為他們拒絕了付款，也沒有寄賬單。

@elam
it's very common to get the bill from collections first here. I used to pay the bills as soon as they come but now realize it often takes my insurance a year to pay

在這里，先收到催收賬單是很常見的。我以前都是賬單一來就付，但現(xiàn)在我意識到我的保險公司通常需要一年才能支付。

@uRaSk33tSta1n
Crazy how that’s allowed to be common practice nowadays.

in America when you step in a room that's 1k, when the doctor walks in that's 1k, when the doctor talks that's 1k, when the doctor sits down that's 1k, when the doctor picks up a pencil that's 1k

在美國，你走進一個房間是1000美元，醫(yī)生走進來是1000美元，醫(yī)生說話是1000美元，醫(yī)生坐下是1000美元，醫(yī)生拿起鉛筆是1000美元。

@hjwang339

@ChubbyMickey
In Canada, your broken bone re-attach itself before any doctor shows up.

在加拿大，不等醫(yī)生出現(xiàn)，你的斷骨就自己長好了。

@Josh
In Canada i waited maybe 2hrs with a broken collar bone b4 having all x rays done, doctor saw me, put my arm in a sling and left all under 4hrs.

在加拿大，我鎖骨骨折，等了大約2小時拍完所有X光片，醫(yī)生看了我，給我打了石膏，整個過程不到4小時就離開了。

@CaseyAnthonyDaycare
That's amazing. I waited 12 hours after a wreck, pelvis broken in 5 places, before i saw a dr (Ontario)

那太驚人了。我車禍后等了12個小時才看到醫(yī)生（安大略?。敃r骨盆有5處骨折。

@Josh
after a wreck like that with pelvis pain etc ur almost immediately taken to imaging to see how bad it is, if theres anything internal that needs immediate attention etc

像那種有骨盆疼痛等情況的車禍后，你幾乎會立即被送去做影像檢查，看看情況有多嚴重，是否有任何需要立即處理的內(nèi)部問題等。

@Josh
after imaging if it doesn't need immediate surgery you will wait until the next slot is open and go.

影像檢查后，如果不需要立即手術，你就會等到下一個空檔再進行。

@Tstar
4 hrs？you goona wait for 4 hrs to see a doctor

4小時？你要等4小時才能見到醫(yī)生嗎？

@Meditation Cat
im in Canada and this aint happening

我在加拿大，這種情況不會發(fā)生。

@Josh
4hrs to go into the hospital, get all the tests done, get checked up on, have doctors assess what needs to be done then leave. It's the same in the USA except u don't have to spend 20grand.

4小時內(nèi)進入醫(yī)院，完成所有檢查，接受檢查，讓醫(yī)生評估需要做什么，然后離開。這和美國一樣，只是你不用花2萬美元。

@Josh
I'm in Canada and it happens all the time, my hospital records are probably longer than ur highschool grades broken leg, foot, 3x broken collar bone, broken arm, a few drop bys bcuz of my heart,

我在加拿大，這種情況經(jīng)常發(fā)生，我的醫(yī)院記錄可能比你的高中成績單還長，斷腿、斷腳、3次鎖骨骨折、斷臂，因為心臟問題還來了幾次。

@CaseyAnthonyDaycare
Well i waited 12 hours before a dr came in and ordered imaging. 10/10 pain, can't recommend

嗯，我等了12個小時醫(yī)生才來并安排了影像檢查。疼痛感%100，不推薦。

@steelstalker
broke my ankle, had xrays and surgery was in recovery within 8 hrs of getting to hospitaln

我的雙腳、肋骨、手臂、肩膀都骨折了，還因為縫針和腎結石去醫(yī)院幾十次。從來沒有等超過3小時。加拿大不差，哥們。

@Enamorarte Toronto
You can speak for Canada as a whole? Go to an urgent care clinic not the emergency. People walking into emerge for non emergencies, really wastes and ties up resources.

你能代表整個加拿大發(fā)言嗎？去緊急護理診所，而不是急診室。非緊急情況的人走進急診室，真的浪費和占用資源。

@Vicfreedom ?

It’d be about 5-6 hours here in rural Newfoundland. Maybe less if it’s not busy. Now if I drive to St. John’s, 100% there for the long haul.

在紐芬蘭農(nóng)村這里大約需要5-6小時。如果不是很忙可能會更短。如果我開車去圣約翰斯，那肯定要等很久。

@nomnomz
Where in Canada do you live? It must be nice there. Ontario doesn't have enough hospitals or doctors for critical patients, let alone general patients.

你住在加拿大的哪里？那里一定很不錯。安大略省沒有足夠的醫(yī)院或醫(yī)生來治療危重病人，更不用說普通病人了。

@Josh
Hamilton Ontario. Next question.

安大略省漢密爾頓。下一個問題。

@Josh
Also used to live in St Catherine's Ontario.

我以前也住在安大略省的圣凱瑟琳。

@Josh
been to hospitals in both cities and never experienced extremely long waits.

我在這兩個城市的醫(yī)院都去過，從未經(jīng)歷過長時間的等待。

@nomnomz
I've worked at Hamilton general in ER. About a decade ago your experience was definitely possible. Nowadays the wait times have increased exponentially. Even a non-visible trauma patient, such as those with a stroke, are "set aside" and have to "wait their turn".
I'm glad you got treated in record time but just know that more than 90% of Ontario's population have experienced otherwise.

我曾在漢密爾頓綜合醫(yī)院的急診室工作。大約十年前，你的經(jīng)歷確實可能發(fā)生。如今，等待時間呈指數(shù)級增長。即使是看不見的創(chuàng)傷患者，比如中風患者，也會被“放在一邊”，不得不“排隊等候”。我很高興你得到了創(chuàng)紀錄的治療時間，但要知道安大略省90%以上的人口經(jīng)歷并非如此。

@Breanna
I'm in Canada and have seen broken bones be dealt with in under an hour at a minor emergency clinic. I assume it varies a lot based on province

我在加拿大，在一家小型急診診所見過骨折在一小時內(nèi)得到處理的情況。我猜這在很大程度上取決于省份。

Lucky you I spent a week in a hospital because a doctor didn’t want to give me any pain meds after putting 3 screws in my knee

你真幸運，我在醫(yī)院住了一周，因為醫(yī)生在我膝蓋里打了3顆螺絲后不想給我任何止痛藥。

@hbrhdifiwn866372
Not to mention I waited 24 with a broken leg and bone fragments ripping apart my knee cartilage hours before I was taken to surgery

更不用說我腿骨折，骨碎片撕裂膝蓋軟骨，等了24小時才被送去手術。

@whiskey
how about in Canada Saskatoon saskatchewan drove 4 hours to get there 8 hours in emergency with brocken collar bone to be told to go home waited 10 days to be called back to fix no joke

在加拿大薩斯卡通薩斯喀徹溫省，我開了4小時車才到那里，帶著鎖骨骨折在急診室待了8小時，結果被告知回家，等了10天才被叫回去做修復，沒開玩笑。

@whiskey
they said they didn't have a doctor to fix a collar bone

他們說沒有醫(yī)生能處理鎖骨骨折。

@Josh
So I'm assuming it's a small population? hospital isn't fully equipped or staffed like a normal hospital?

所以我猜是小城鎮(zhèn)嗎？醫(yī)院設備和人員配置不如普通醫(yī)院齊全？

@Tstar
Canada’s health system is a joke. Try to wait any emergency at any hospitals in Toronto. Most of young doctors don’t have any clinical experience.

加拿大的醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)就是個笑話。試試在多倫多的任何醫(yī)院等任何急診。大多數(shù)年輕醫(yī)生都沒有臨床經(jīng)驗。

@Josh
St Catherine's, Hamilton and Toronto. been to hospitals in each city and uHMM no huge long wait. Our Healthcare system is failing and that's the federal governments fault for

圣凱瑟琳、漢密爾頓和多倫多。我去過這些城市的醫(yī)院，嗯，沒有漫長的等待。我們的醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)正在崩潰，那是聯(lián)邦政府的錯。

我的朋友作為一周的外國游客去了多倫多。他不小心摔倒，手臂輕微骨折。他在急診室等了4小時 + X光片 + 15分鐘醫(yī)生檢查 + 簡單包扎 = 2700加元。

我的斷腿也是，不到一小時就處理了骨折，打上石膏，然后出院了。

我只是想確認他們是否能溝通，因為我很快要去中國了。

@魔豆
中國有專門接待國外的病人，那種醫(yī)院不過價格一般都超貴 一般可以隨身帶個翻譯機之類的 英語在中國畢竟不是主流，主要還是用于學術之類的調(diào)查 或者研究日常是很少用的 要么就是跨國公司之類的那種的話，就很好交流了

@Chinese sink manufacturer.
在中國為什么要說英語呢？

@Meemaw111
I would speak in Chinese language if I can

如果可以的話，我會說中文。

@凜冬將至

醫(yī)院會允許這樣做嗎？因為這可能會占用醫(yī)生寶貴的時間。

Not all doctors can，but many doctors can speak English, especially young doctors. If you come across a doctor who can't speak English, you can ask for another. It won't waste much of your time.

并非所有醫(yī)生都會說，但很多醫(yī)生會說英語，尤其是年輕醫(yī)生。如果你遇到不會說英語的醫(yī)生，你可以要求換一個。這不會浪費你太多時間。

Now there is an associate doctor next to the medical director. Young people can speak English, and the basic communication problem is not big.
