I Checked My Health In Turkey! 🇹🇷

In January I travelled to Turkey (Türkiye) for an MOT health check and as I was documenting this, I received lots of messages about what's included, the hospital and the pricing.
This video will help explain all of this and I hope you find it a useful watch!
Have a great bank holiday and take care of your health ❤️

The Arabic you heard on the speakers is called the Adhan which is the Islamic call to prayer which happens 5 times every day.

[@TxMxT27]

It's awful.

[@dx1__]

@@TxMxT27I’m glad to say that it’s not going anywhere

[@brianbadonde9039]

It’s a right racket

[@tayyibekaya]

As a Turkish living in Turkey, this is called *sala* not the Adhan, generally when someone passes away they make this type of pray & mention their name so we can pray for them too

[@peter7243]

Praying for you! Stay strong

[@MisfitSocietyX]

Sending best wishes with your health. This was useful information.

[@jamillusmani1446]

Excellent video and thanks for sharing wishing you health.

[@nisarhussain4491]

Thank u for the video appreciated. I will definitely book myself in for health check!

[@rozmail564]

Thank you so much for your honesty, im definitely going their

[@kansum3326]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing this, definitely thinking about doing the same “health MOT“. Hope everything works out for you health wise.

[@1ayshen]

Well indeed the best documentation with lots of detailed information given. This is a great guidance and will help to lots of people for sure! Thanks a lot 😊

[@user-ft9kh9of5r]

Wish you the best health, thanks for sharing.

[@whambo_]

Huge praise for posting this, a very brave thing to do and i enjoyed the candid openness of the video

[@asimrasul4442]

Wishing you a speedy recovery and the best of health. Thanks for sharing this video which helps people with other options when not available easily in uk. Sometimes we have to make that effort to travel abroad to get the necessary checks quickly.

[@chrissimpson2912]

As always superbly constructed vid James , considering this myself , thanks for the insight .

[@karenferns6160]

So kind of u to share both your experience but all the details too James. "Health is wealth " so wishing u the very best for going forward..!!!

[@rastajay8883]

Good on you for doing this, mot health check is very important.

[@OneTwo4]

James, wish you the best health

[@cristianospera3575]

That's great James and I hope all is well with you!! Thank you for sharing it as it has been on the back of my head to do a full health check up for quite some time...

[@jammer5007]

Excellent video James.. very informative 👍🏻

[@daniellephillips5365]

I'm a long time follower here from the beginning! So I sincerely wish you both all the best ❤ and thank you for sharing this. I think this is something I'm going to do myself next year. Nicest guy on the Internet

[@Plod_on_foot]

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Sadly the UK just aren’t very good at this, waiting lists are long or you can’t have it done. I find GP’s are dismissive at times and rush your appointments with you. Definitely worth looking into.

[@akjaat]

Great man. May god give you good health and full recovery.

[@ineseivanovska6993]

Thank you for sharing this experience.

[@mywellnesscoach508]

Very informative video which I'm sure many people will find useful. Well done for owning your truth and wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏🏾💗

[@askinyucelsin1111]

I've been a longtime follower of your KZbin channel and I'm rooting for your swift recovery. Memorial Hospital in Istanbul is renowned for its excellence, and I trust they've provided you with exceptional care. I am from Istanbul so feel free to reach out if you need any information / assistance ..wish u well 🙏

[@crazytrain7721]

I've been told there are many memorial hospitals in Istanbul. Are you talking about one in specific?

[@jamesproperty_]

Thank you 🙏

[@EnlighteningEmma]

Thank-you for sharing something so personal, I really hope the IVF goes well for you 🙏🏼

[@alexwalker8474]

Thanks for sharing mate. 😊

[@sandramcintosh2231]

I will definitely look into this

[@davejrave]

Fantastic video mate it did make me laugh when you discussed about the endoscopy and the colonoscopy and you made sure you said it was two separate cameras. I have both done regularly because I suffer with issues both have endoscopy and colonoscopy done fully awake which is interesting I’ve never gone down the route of being fully asleep, thanks very much again hope everything is going well. Keep smiling.

[@garystephenjones3525]

Keep up the good fight. Thank you for the info regarding the tests in Istanbul. Something I’d like to do myself

[@gillwhitfield7041]

Thanks so much for sharing this video. I don’t know why we can’t do this on the Uk. Wish you all the luck in the world with your fertility journey. Xx

[@jack-ku9yh]

More than pleased to see this - great way to show people why these checks are important - sad NHS doesn’t have the same up. Many thanks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💎😊 - KEEP WELL 🙏🏾

[@andrewmcelwee3490]

sending positive vibes, hope your okay!xo

[@kaffyola2]

Thanks James, very insightful video. Can’t even imagine how much it would have cost under private healthcare in the UK.

[@michaelgriffiths2121]

Thanks for this. I really appreciate your video. I’ll get in touch with them. At the moment I need only a blood test, but might need more later. Also the call to prayer you heard, which you will hear around Turkey.

[@emrahkarapinar386]

Hi James, I hope you well. I’ve been following you on Instagram and KZbin for several years, you giving me some ideas to start property business. Sad to hear about your health. Unfortunately England health setter is not the best sometimes can too late of the treatment. And I am glad that you went Turkey, much better over there and you get the results very quick. I hope you get back well soon. Take care .

[@erhantimur]

Respect James, I hope everything works out for you. Health is wealth. Turkish private hospitals are next level.

[@user-ei6my1cj1g]

Thanks for this you’re right about health . I have been getting stomach issues and the doctors here just dismissed everything. I am going to book mine shortly straight after we finish Ramadan

[@hasan2k3]

Really nice video, I hope and pray you are granted a full recovery. Nice to know there are other health options available elsewhere in the world. Turkey are doing great things, however make sure you do all of your research correctly and find the best clinics and don't just settle for price.

[@amberpanda8886]

Very informative ❤

[@Asmr494]

Hope you get better soon

[@Sadidesifamily]

So the speakers wise it's the Azaan the muslim call to prayer. Thanks for the video! Was thinking of going to Pakistan for an mot so this is an option too...in Pakistan I could get most of this done cheaper but the ticket is 700+..but due to relatives zero hotel costs...thanks again for this video! And all the best with the ivf!

[@francopagliarella]

Thanks for the video.

[@123sumom]

Amazing video thanks

[@klaudiazajdowicz]

Unfortunately you can't get help in UK on NHS and privately it costs soo much. I have been in Poland in past and next week I am going again. It's much cheaper and more professional. Good luck with your health. I have issues with my immune system.

[@rkyarde]

Thank you for sharing a personal subject, the NHS needs to offer this!

[@jennyc7033]

Thanks for sharing

[@fbadsforecom]

great vid - would be really useful to know the exact hospital you went to, trying to book myself now. Seems there's a few!

[@tomojarvis]

'Two separate cameras they'll use...... hopefully....' is the funniest off the cuff line 😂😂 made me laugh!

[@jamesproperty_]

Luckily I was right too! 😁🕺

[@emretouchcompany3096]

Great video. Thankyou for your honesty. Can you tell us what would be a a price for UK process for something similar?

[@ZeeWatcher1000]

It's the call to prayer (athan), which happens 5 times a day. Each call to prayer is preceded by a pre reminder (mini athan) to get yourself in gear and prepare to pray.

[@ayeshap273]

Hi there James. What a lovely video and documentation of your health check. I have been following on instagram for a few yrs now and always find you so inspiring. I also was diagnosed with elevated platelets which has been under review since 2020. I have not been given any option for any medication and was wondering what the name of your medication was? I also pray and wish you all the best in your health and pray your IVF journey goes well. Look forward to hearing from you. Ayesha

[@jasonjones8561]

Very brave to post such private information but I'm sure many people will benefit from this in their journey for better health. All the best with the treatments going forward.

[@alexlucas6937]

Thank you for the video! It was very useful booking my check now. What if the find a problem, where do you go for a treatment, and will the doctors in UK accept the results?

[@haleemahsaida9772]

Was here after your Turkey hospital health check, im hoping for the same service

[@celined4943]

Thanks James. How much would it be to do all those tests in UK? Glad to hear your results are overall good.

[@parkhouse2437]

It's the call to prayer. All Muslim countries have this call to prayer

[@36sau]

Thanks for sharing this, do you have a link to the hospital site where we can book appointments please.

[@jagodaslominska777]

Great that you went private! If I would wait for the NHS I will probably still have my tumor inside me. Lucky that I am Polish and Polish Dr's remove it privately by laparoscopy 😊 I do recommend that everyone go private if they can.

[@stevenwest3555]

New subscriber 🎉

[@elllllllll]

Praying for you James 🙏 May I ask if the results you got in Turkey confirm the diagnosis you received in the UK or are there any discrepancies between the two? Thanks!

[@privateprivate2421]

I need this.

[@ali84uk]

You should have spoken to the Hospital first and got a refferal link to get a certain percentage from everyone you refer as I am sure have a lot of people followed your footsteps on this journey. May the Lord grant you a long healthy life Brother ❤

[@jamesaaron2111]

You’ll be glad to have been put asleep for the endoscopy. I had a but of throat numbing spray and they slammed it down. Worst thing i’ve ever had.

[@lailahconsar7803]

Awesome information I still think £2300 was quite pricey for a health check in Turkey does that price include flight and accommodation? How much was the hotel and which hotel did you stay in?

[@patrickphelan1702]

It’s actually embarrassing that in your home country we have wait 12 months, literally costing people their lives and robbing them on tax the whole way, welcome to the UK

[@ameetlibran9845]

Well we all kno in UK we pay Tax so our BS PM can spend £16m/ day on illegal Criminals 4 & 5* all inclusive package.

[@user-yn3tl7vj8h]

Could not agree more!

[@Alahi87]

Wishing you a speedy recovery mate. The Arabic you heard thats on the speakers are the Call to prayer. This is an indication to goto the mosque as the prayer is about to start shortly. 👍🏼

[@robertdavidson5506]

How just a few questions about you health check you got done in turkey. How did you book it ? What package did you go for ?

[@elliotgee7394]

Do you have a link to get started with the memorial health check?

[@baljitgrewal8347]

nothing is more important then health .....

[@junemccallion]

James I too have ET but was diagnosed in the USA. I am on a drug called HYDROXYUREA, may I ask what are the name of the shots you take ? Thank you for your video it was very informative !

[@josephr5670]

Do you know if the NHS recognise the results? As sometimes the NHS don't even recognise results from BUPA or private healthcare.

[@lizbarker4967]

24hr urine is probably to test for cushings or Addison xxx

[@MTi-bi3te]

How much more was it in the UK than the 2.3k? Please thanks

[@lucyilly428]

Even private in the uk isn’t ideal. I was diagnosed with an illness then told it wasn’t covered for treatment. A Waste of £80 a month really. I’m now saving that in an account instead in case I need it for the future.

[@dharmensoneji3360]

Did you go alone? Were you ok in between all the days of testing? Did you feel ok after doing the tests?

[@mdlgaming873]

Is there a link for the website to book it cant find one online

[@BadyKoli]

how much was the 3 day program ???

[@garyalcorn3831]

Hi how you go about booking this don’t see anything on the website?

[@s.williams3214]

The call to prayer is likely in Turkish not Arabic

[@gh0strec0n]

Wish you all the best. NHS is failing

[@lailahconsar7803]

Did you book the tests directly with the hospital or through a third party company?

[@islamhome6360]

I did same in Pakistan which is even cheaper than Turkey

[@iramzsheikh1923]

Hi Which test did you perform and were in pakistan

[@Jamie49999]

Do they do open mri scanners, I’m very claustrophobic?

[@jamesproperty_]

I didn’t see any, but it maybe worth emailing Memorial Hospital to see. I know what you mean by claustrophobic, but they do provide ear muffs to help with the noise and I just closed my eyes 😅

[@petercarter1107]

Did you manage to wangle paying this thru your company somehow mate? Or personal?

[@jamesproperty_]

Hey Peter, Great Q, but this was a personal expense

[@mohamadislam1776]

The Arabic u heard Is a call to preyer all Muslim country do this we do it 5 times a day Sunrise Midday 12:00 Afternoon 4:00 Sunset Night when sun has gone Prey thank god for providing for us etc worshiping our creator

[@fras3085]

How much was this in pounds?

[@ScottMuzzaMuscles]

Maybe just watch the video?

[@ukingly]

£ 2300

[@ScottMuzzaMuscles]

@@ukingly why did you give him the answer? Should have made the cunt work for it. Lazy fuck.

[@hasdthah9707]

Always see American fitness people do these tests but never knew if they did these things in uk without bankrupting u 😂

[@sokagor]

Greece is a cheap country to do so. Best of the best of doctors too.

[@shiftyuk]

How much is Greece? For this. I heard Poland is very cheap and good for this type of health check.

[@sokagor]

@@shiftyuk I assume same as turkey

[@user-yn3tl7vj8h]

Turkey is well renowned for its excellence in healthcare. World class reputation and hospitality too.

[@shaheenmiya1268]

Hi you hear loud voice is call for people to pray Adan

[@woman_men_adore]

Did you have the jab

[@jamesproperty_]

Yes, 3 of them :/

[@nomadwonderer9164]

The translation of the call to prayer you heard... *God is great *I bear witness there is no God except Allah. *I bear witness Mohamed is the messenger of God. *Come to prayer *Come to success/goodness/salvation *Allah is great *There is no God except Allah. Thank you for the very informative video...Wishing you good health and a complete recovery 🤲🏾💐

[@jimmymorgan3324]

That’s. The. Call to keep them. Programmed /. Brainwashed

[@hasan2k3]

The call to prayer is called "adhan" in Arabic... And they say the following... Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar - God is the greatest, God is the greatest Ash-hadu anla-illaha ill allaah - I bear witness there is non worthy of worship but Allaah. Ash-hadu Ana muhammadur-rasoolullaah - I bear witness Muhammad is the messenger of god. Haya-alasalah - come to prayer. Haya alalfalah - come to success

[@michellemathias3058]

Amazing James, thank you SO much for sharing your journey and your very personal medical information, certainly no judgement here. I’ve genuinely been waiting with bated breath on your medical tests, how much it cost along with your experience. Here in the uk we have no preventative medical care and I’m a huge believer that prevention is better than cure. Hats off to you both and I wish you health wealth and happiness for the future

[@TxMxT27]

Did you have the C19 vax?

[@jamesproperty_]

Yup, 3 of them :/

[@courtneyjames986]

This was my exact question aswell, my cousin now has fertility issues after Cv 19 vax also based in the UK. Thank you for showing this, was thinking of my partner to get a health check too. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery 🙏
