My two cents. The doctor and his staff were treating you as they would any pregnant French woman, and you were acting like a pregnant American woman. I'm not saying one is better than the other, there's just a disconnect.

Hi Colette and Scott, was it predictable? Yes. Was it avoidable? Yes.😧 All you have to remember is that Doctors in France are better trained and have a more thorough knowledge of medicine unlike their American counterparts. If you need data, one can have a look at the WHO and OECD websites: Maternal mortality ratio per 100,000 live births in 2023: France 7.9 vs USA 21.1 (WHO, Global Health Observatory, 2023). Infant mortality rate per 1000 live births: France 3.6 vs USA 5.4 (OECD Health Statistics, 2023). American doctors complete a Bachelor's Degree (learning a second language if they can, courses in the humanities, writing, social sciences etc.) prior to completing a medical degree. In France, French doctors study medicine from Year 1 at the university after their High School Diploma (science branch of the Diploma in High School) and are more exposed to health sciences and medicine through extensive clinical placements and in depth knowledge of anatomy, biochemistry, neuroscience, andrology, ethology, immunology, pharmacology etc.). It takes 10 years of this training to be a French registered family Physician looking after people! I am not taking about research in Medicine there! Why would your questions be validated if the person in front of you knows 100 times better than you...the reasons why American doctors are so complacent in extra unnecessary tests and clients' unreasonable demands are: 1) they do not know as much as their French counterparts and they are NOT 100% sure because of their poorer training; 2) they are afraid of the patients because of rampant litigation and insurance costs; 3) they will do everything to keep you as a "client" not as a "patient" like lawyers do. To sum up, French doctors are NOT... lawyers. They are not here to sugarcoat their patients. They are here to save you and make you and your family as healthy as possible. If you had done your research, you should have NEVER come to France (by the way the Dutch health system and doctors are the same- I know from experience) to be looked after by the French health care system coming from the USA. I wish you good luck back in the USA with the new American regime coming in 2025 with Donald Trump and his acolytes. I can guarantee life will change for you in the USA over the next 4 years and not in a good way... For the sake of your kids, remember your experience and your complaints about France and Europe when you look back in a few years time...This is from someone who has lived and experienced health care first-hand in the USA, Canada, France, UK, Netherlands, Australia and Spain. Good luck. You need it. Sebastian🙂

❤❤❤THE BEST Airline OF THE WORLD Emirates ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹THE BEST SERVICE,AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As a person who trades and somewhat understands multinational brands. Most potential paying clients know who to give the closed sale to. There are many competitors plus clients can switch airlines at the first destination. Even in Muslim countries people segregate and go to their own preferred destinations. But most people that barely pass world government know the differences between each Muslim nations and the rest. Thanks for the info. No wonder the line is short for that airline at the airport.

Too bad things didn't work out for your move to France. As you mentioned the Netherlands could have been a good idea because nearly everyone speaks english there so the language barrier is not nearly as much of an issue. Though I've heard the housing market is pretty tough there too atm. Anyway I wish your lovely family the best for the future !

Your kids NEED the grandparents! I am assuming you get along with them. The fun time for grandparents is when the kids are little. And as parents, you will get a much better date/break if the grandparents are babysitting for the weekend then hired help. A move outside country is before kids or when the kids become teenagers. You move to Singapore when the kids become teenagers.hihi much harder to pick up dangerous habit in Singapore/ russian roulette in the USA. Extended family quiets the nervous system of children 0-12. It gives the kids a much stronger emotional base then learning to survive in a different culture age 0-12. Parents are not enough. Moving outside the USA with young teenagers is better.

Every now and then, KZbin suggests your pdocast. I try to listen to it with an open mind but every time I hear you complaining about how things are not like in the US. I'll pass. But one advice: come with an open mind if you want to travel, live aborad. And yes you are right to ask for more information about your pregnancy (congrats by the way), but maybe you'll have to find another doctor being more fluent in English or to really take the time to explain your situation but don't expect the French doctors to be like American doctors. Have a nice one.

TS 1:45 so the worker who probably has young kids too should waking up earlier and have a rushed morning to accomodate you. eeesh

I absolutely get you guys about the French medical system. I don’t think it’s a cultural thing but rather a dysfunctional aspect of it all. It’s political not cultural I guess. I am here too. Such a pity… Actually not even! You just offered me such a great lesson of freedom. Beautiful! Thank you. Lots of love ❤

I believe that people make decisions first and then find all kinds of reasons to justify those decisions. The health care in France is indeed more rigit because it’s all paid by tax payers. So doctors try not to prescribe unnecessary tests (in their opinion). Though you can go 100% private and do all the tests you want but it’s out of pocket. Angelina Jolie gave birth to her twins (with Brad Pitt) in Nice in a private clinic (probably at a walking distance from where you lived). In restrospect, Nice is kinda rough for a landing with no prior experience/language and with a toddler. But ultimately, it makes sense you guys just want to be back home with family and friends. No place like it.

There is a lot of strength in saying Let us stop here. Well done to you both. Having a baby in another country is really hard and confusing. I went from Europa to the USA.

😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🙃 you answer reply kind vlog have been processed through an AI, the AI just immitated your style, voices changed, and processed to treat on another topic, just check out common sens sceptic last video ;)

I understand your deception for the slow results of the tests and your disapproval that you were not recalled. They should have taken into account the fact that you are not used to the French system. In France, if a problem is detected, your test will be communicated first. If no problems are detected, then the test follows a second less urgent route. it is necessary to know that the system of gratuity for all including for the foreigner (even in condition of irregular immigration) clutters the medicine, it is for this that the communications are made in priority over the emergencies or when there are problems. The same goes for calls. When there are no calls, everything is fine. You can find exactly what you want in terms of examinations (as in the USA), but for that you have to go through the private health system (specialized clinic). However, it is more expensive and you do not necessarily have all the supplementary examinations reimbursed by social security. It is so sad to see you go. I wish you the best for the rest of your life ❤

I guess the think here is having trust. You should trust your French doctor. They serve so many women to get theire baby. And all will be good in the end.

Sorry, I don't understand where you found that the agency opens at seven o'clock. On the AVIS rental site it is specified for each agency in Nice that it will open at 8 a.m. at the most, others open later. Even on Google Maps I couldn't find an opening time before eight o'clock at all the AVIS agencies in Nice. Maybe I looked wrong. Could you tell me which agency is where you read that the agency opens at seven in the morning, thank you.

Since you were looking for "Saltines", FYI in France you can find a cracker that is veeeery close to "Saltines". What I buy here in France that is mighty close to the “Saltines" I used to buy when I lived in the US, is known here in France as "cracker de table" by “Heudebert". You can find it at almost every supermarket, "Monoprix", "Auchan", etc. For some reason, it is not found where all the other salted crackers are, but instead look for the "rayon" where the "biscottes" are along with other specialty breads such as "WASA" Finnish bread. Very often "cracker de table" are found right next to the "WASA" bread.

socialized medicine.

Thanks for visiting. 🥂

How does it compare to Singapore premium economy?

Love how the Dubai one looks like the most gaudy piece of trash too. Very fitting for them 😂

Jp Morgan is no longer made with palladium.

I don't understand why y'all can't keep the baby in your lap while travelling in a taxi/cab. Will save you the hassle of installing the car seat.

why would you fly united because they are united against people like-united breaks guitars- united killed a puppy(poor guy)prob more i forgo

That’s the rules we want on all airlines, no degenerate drunkards on plane making it miserable for everyone but kicking people of the plane while in the air is a bit wrong though

Is this on Delta

bro is tripping you wont go to jail for any of these except maybe alcohol it's not permitted in the country

Hi guys, I was trying to watch your 'don't make this mistake' video. It seems to have disappeared, or maybe I can't find it. Can you please guide me here? Thanks.

Halloween (English All Hallows' Eve, the evening before All Saints' Day) names the folk customs in the evening and night before the Solemnity of All Saints, from October 31st to November 1st. This custom was originally widespread in Ireland, which was predominantly Catholic at the time. The Irish immigrants to the USA maintained and expanded their customs in memory of their homeland. In the predominantly Catholic cantons of Switzerland (see Holidays in Switzerland) and the predominantly Catholic German federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland as well as in Austria and Liechtenstein, All Saints' Day is a public holiday and is celebrated on January 1st. committed November; also in the following countries: Belgium, Andorra, France, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Monaco, East Timor, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Hungary, Peru, Vatican City and the Philippines. On the day after All Saints' Day, November 2nd, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates All Souls' Day, on which the poor souls in purgatory are remembered. In many places, the associated grave blessing is carried out on the afternoon of All Saints' Day, a non-working public holiday in some countries. This is often associated with the custom of particularly decorating the graves, including with lights. In Europe, All Saints Day is celebrated much more than Halloween. The family goes to the cemetery to the graves of their dead, beautifully decorated with arrangements and candles, to remember them and pray. Here (Austria) there is always a market with mulled wine, chestnuts, sweets... where you can linger for a while and children LOVE this day (because of all the lights, the sweets)! This is “our” tradition!

pigs love to spread misinformation

I love watching you two. Hope the pregnancy is going well!

Gustav Mahler was an Austrian composer who lived in the later part of the nineteenth century.

she said if you can swing it at least go to the lobby have a drink you don't have to stay all night there...

ROme is worse! You give the taxi driver 50 euro and he says that you only gave him 10 euro; a regular occurrence! The govt is cracking down now not illegal taxi Eastern European drivers, which is good.

Was the whole interaction with the crazy lady in french? If so I'm impressed you can already win arguments with crazy people in french! I'm also impressed if that lady started speaking fluent english lol

Source: Trust me bro. *yawn*.

You and your husband seem combative with people and places in Nice. First your post about AL Group and now arguing with people on the tram. You’re from NJ. You probably think you’re entitled to sit with your kid. I doubt this women spoke to you for no reason.

*Don't recommend this channel*

Nothing is for free….😂😂 Every thing has a price…..

I love watching your Stories we Tell. I can so realt with a lot living outside my home country. This one hit extra much also as the holidays are coming up (Christmas). Keep telling these stories.

Happy Thanksgiving !🥔🌽

👋 Thank you for your weekly chat. I enjoy it every time and wish you a very nice Thanksgiving, no matter what you’ll eat and drink. No doudt you’ll be in touch with your families. Have a very good time. From Geneva 🇨🇭🌼

i really don't get it, is it a group therapy?

Clearly, you don't have much luck. It makes me sad for you to see you dealing with this kind of person. I am so sorry for you. This person makes me ashamed and brings shame to France. For a magical Christmas vacation for your little girl, I recommend visiting a village in Alsace, such as Riquewihr or Colmar (there are many others too) :-)

Actually, Halloween was brought to the USA by celtic immigrants, so mostly Irish. It has been celebrated in Europe for at least a couple of thousand years. The celts of France can be found mostly in Brittany. It was always big in Ireland but has been becoming more widespread in non-celtic Europe through re-importation from the USA.

About the train: in summer we've been to Paris. Train was full and it happend the first time in my life that someone stood up for me. Was kind of strange for me. But not bad 😂

Good

They gonna break guitars😂😂

Siiiick intro ❤️👌
