An Indian man working in the United States has shared why he does not want to settle there permanently.
He said his experiences with healthcare in India and the US played a major role in his decision to eventually move back to India.
He said that while the weather and infrastructure were great, his healthcare experience was the reason he would never settle down there.
Garware recalled that a few years ago, he fainted multiple times in India. After a few days, he received a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan. Because it costs thousands of dollars in the US, garware said he could not call an ambulance.
Garware said the total bill for all the treatment was $500. Garware said the hospital bill was $23,000. Even though he had top insurance that he said he was paying thousands of dollars for, he had to pay $7,000 from his own pocket.
He said he was taken to a hospital immediately and got a private room without any paperwork. He said doctors carried out several tests, including ECGs, MRIs, CT scans and full blood work. He also said he could speak to the doctor whenever he wanted. He said he had to drive himself to the hospital while in pain. After reaching the hospital, he said he waited for more than an hour and a half in the waiting room while his forms and documents were processed. Garware claimed that doctors later told him he had suffered a “mini heart attack”. However, he said he struggled to get answers during his hospital stay. He said that after several days, the hospital told him they did not know what had happened and sent him home without a follow-up plan.
