In an Instagram video, Yuvaan Ibanez Garware compared two medical emergencies he experienced in India and the US and explained why healthcare is one of the reasons he plans to return to India.
For an Indian man working in the US, the decision to move back to India is being shaped by an experience he says changed the way he looks at healthcare.
Recalling his experience in India, Yuvaan said that he had fainted multiple times a few years ago and was immediately taken to a hospital.
Yuvaan then spoke about a medical emergency he experienced in the US. However, Yuvaan alleged that he struggled to see the doctor during his stay. Because it costs thousands of dollars there, so he drove himself to the hospital while writhing in pain, he said he could not call an ambulance.
He shared that after a few days, he received a diagnosis and treatment plan, with the total bill coming to around $500 (approximately Rs 47,000).
Recalling his experience in India, Yuvaan said that he had fainted multiple times a few years ago and was immediately taken to a hospital. He said he was given a private room right away with zero paperwork. He said doctors conducted several tests, including ECGs, MRIs, CT scans, and blood work, and that he was able to speak to the doctor whenever he wanted. He said he developed severe chest pain while playing basketball. He said that whenever he asked to see the doctor, he was told that the doctor was too busy and would come at a later time.
