What’s your story of the best countries you’ve experienced for using their healthcare, and the worst?

It would help if you can go over the — issue/ treatment — costs (before insurance) — language barrier — quality of care

    Had a little fall and bumped my head while living in Shanghai. Turns out I fractured my skull and tore my dura membrane causing a CSF leak. I had private insurance so I went the nicest route, new international hospital for treatment over the next 3 months. They could not find the dura membrane tear location that was causing the CSF leak. After 3 months of circles, they sent me the Military hospital in Shanghai because my little fall caused an injury normally seen in combat. 5 minutes with the Military hospital doctor and they were checking me in and telling me to call a loved one because they were going to go exploratory surgery on my skull to find the holes in the dura membrane. Hell no! I was not letting anyone cut open my skull and fish around looking for tiny holes. So I spent 5 days in the hospital fighting with the doctors to figure out a different solution. Turns out the solution was an emergency flight back to the U.S. for a ridiculously expensive surgery through my face holes because they quickly found the holes with a proper MRI and CT scan.
