I Went to a Hospital in India (Worst Nightmare)

My worst nightmare happened when I had to find a local hospital in a foreign country. I've visited hospitals in Suriname, the Philippines, Taiwan, Ethiopia among many more - but this time, I was running around Varanasi, India, to find a doctor to cure an infected cut on my leg. Thankfully, the doctor treated me (in his home living room) and he turned out to be super nice!

[@_elguille]

Hey Drew, cool video, hope you get better soon. I lived for a year in India and I got sick many times, going to the Hospital was one of the worst and most challenging experiences that I had when I lived there. Once I was feeling very sick, and I went to the doctor and they ran some blood tests and so on and told me that it was just an allergy reaction. 6 months later I returned to the same Hospital and there was a new doctor who took a look at my file she told me " Oh you had Dengue fever 6 months ago, right!? ", so yeah I had Dengue fever without even knowing it 😅 India is simply an amazing country, with great culture and food, and I now when I think about that I just see it as a part of the experience. Greetings from Costa Rica.

Health insurance is a scam. I work full time and can barely afford my meds, with insurance.

[@AntiFurryNatio]

In India a insulin Cost Around ₹800 ($10) In U.S a insulin Cost Arround $500 in 2021 Recently I have heard the U.S congress has made a $35 price cap on insulin. U.S Even after being technologically advanced than India can't serve its elderly with fair price of medicine. In order for the senators & congress man to get those share holdings, insider information and those sweet green lobby papers 💵 into their hands. I respect capitalism and free market, as my parents struggled under socialism, Yet Price regulations on essential life saving goods should be implemented unconditionally.

[@ntl9974]

And pick up some rubbing alcohol to clean out wounds. For basic things, the pharmacists can usually recommend what meds you need as docs can be pricey abroad (this one was cheap to me and I haven't been an ex-pat in over 25 years). They helped me with the correct antibiotics for bronchitis, typhoid fever, etc., in Latin America. But, it's always best to see a doctor if you can afford one.

Can you share your tips to treat food poisoning?

[@MaryGray-zb3xi]

I have had Salmonella poisoning twice from eggs making my intestines feel like they were twisting in knots for 2 hours straight till it passed, so I would like to know too Drew???

[@muscleman125]

take charcoal tablets to help induce vomiting the moment you start feeling queasy. Only do that once. Drink lots of water in small sips slowly throughout the day. Maybe add some Pedialyte or a small Gatorade into the mix. Take probiotics before you travel somewhere you are more likely to get food poisoning. There may be preventative medicines you can take to help avoid certain bacteria, parasites, or viruses in other parts of the world. You can also take OTC medicines to help calm your stomach and relieve the diarrhea. Diarrhea is the most dangerous part of food poisoning. You have to stay hydrated and semi-fed. Bulky foods like bread are good for loose poos

[@jessicag23100]

how is this your worst nightmare

[@jbauntie]

I wouldn’t call that a worst nightmare experience. It’s unfortunate you got the infection and had to see a dr but even travelling around looking for the doctor’s house it took less time to see the dr then we have to wait in emergency in NS.A wait can be anywhere from 8 - 24 hours unless it’s an absolutely urgent situation. For an infected cut you’d wait hours to see a dr.You’d be the very last person they’d take.We don’t pay for our healthcare…well we do with our taxes but less than $5 to see the dr was incredibly cheap and he seemed very kind and attentive to give you not only 1 but three prescriptions to help it. All in all I’d say your dr visit went pretty well. Though it would have been much harder if you would have been on your own and didn’t have someone navigating & translating for you. Then it would have been stressful trying to find the dr.It’s unfortunate that you got food poisoning & an infection back to back.Hope you’re all healed and feeling much better by now.That’s one of my biggest fears when it comes to travelling…getting sick in another country. Not so much minor things like this but like a heart attack or stroke or getting hurt badly in an accident. My aunt had a major heart attack,etc and part of the surgery she needed cost them over $100000 and then another $100000 or $150000 to have her flown back to Canada to a hospital here on a medical plane. They had travellers insurance but it didn’t cover the flight at all and only part of her hospital stay & surgery there.Thankfully they could afford the massive bills but I sure couldn’t. I hope we’ll get to see whatever that crazy event was that you went too in a more in depth vlog. It looked intense and a little bit chaotic. I just love your travel vlogs. You have the best content and I’ve learned so much and have gotten to see places and people that I’ll never be able to travel to see myself. Seeing the world through your eyes is so enjoyable and such a gift….especially for someone who has been really sick so watching your vlogs…some more than once has been a wonderful distraction and a bit of an escape from…everything. Do you happen to know ow how people who are on oxygen travel by plane? You can’t take or use oxygen canisters and you can’t use the planes oxygen….and I can’t get a straight answer from any airline on what you have to do to be able to use oxygen on a plane. I want so badly to visit DisneyWorld (yes even though I’m an adult) and I’d love to go to the UK while I’m able but can’t figure out how to fly with oxygen….i can’t even figure out how to do it within my own country.I would love a straight answer for it if anyone can tell me.Will be back for your next vlog.Travel safe😊

God bless you and your wife Drew and lots of love from Norway. ps. I will keep you in my prayers for a safe journey in India. It really is a place that gets under your skin in a way I can only compare it with how the Holy Land of Israel does. I love India and really want people to understand how special it's people are so they can get a true impression of this wonderful country. You are greatly appreciated for the way you paint these wonderful pictures of remote tribes and their culture, good or bad, you always do a stellar job of telling stories in video, free of charge no less. I have really enjoyed these windows into cultures I never knew existed. Yoy are the right man for the job Drew, storytelling at it's best has the power to engage and captivate, that can't be easy, so thank you again....

I have no plans on visiting a country like India anytime soon if EVER. Mainly because of safety and the high risk of getting sick from malaria and food poisoning. I’m a registered blood donor in the state of NY. If you go to a high risk country for these diseases, they won’t let you donate blood for THREE YEARS after you return to the United States. When I go to give blood, one of the questions they ask you on a tablet is, “in the past three years, have you traveled outside the USA or Canada?” And I have to say yes to that because I went to Australia in May 2023. Australia is NOT a high risk country for disease so they allow me to donate blood.
