Friendship Hospital, Wednesday, 22 August 2007

It is difficult to rate this hospital fairly because I cannot compare it to another one. I haven't been in another one, fortunately.
However, especially after reading reviews from other hospitals recently I was a bit worried to visit one.

The fact that I knew there was an English speaking doctor/nurse and my husband's Chinese colleague was willing to join me I went to this Friendship Hospital. This Chinese lady called the Dr Shi beforehand so she was waiting for us in the reception room. Suprisingly, I didn't have to pay in advance for the registration but I could see the first doctor straigt away.

Dr. Shi stayed by my side to translate the doctor's findings. After his examination we had to go to another room for an ultrasoon examination. I didn't have to wait, the room and the second doctor were ready to start the ultrasoon survey. Although other nurses and doctors walked into the room it didn't bother me at all. They were quiet and passed us quickly. Fortunately I could keep my shirt and skirt on (even my shoes) so I did not feel embarrassed at all! The doctor and Dr Shi examined the ultrasoon thoroughly and seriously.

After this we had to go to the first doctor again for the final results. And again, we did not have to wait a single minute. Dr Shi and the Chinese lady who joined me translated everything clearly and the doctor even took the time to make clear sketches of his findings.

Although I want to keep my hospital experiences in Dalian on a low level this was not a bad experience at all. They didn't give me any medicines to take/buy - I understood in some hospitals they like to sell chinese medicines even if you probably do not need them - and the entire visit lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. After the examinations I had to pay for my registration and the ultrasoon examination and, as far as I know, the costs were reasonable.

I have to emphasize that maybe because of my Chinese "guide" I had a privileged position in this hospital. But I can recommend this hospital and Dr Shi to anyone else.

I have to admit that I have rated and reviewed this hospital as a Chinese/Dalianese one and not as a so-called international (western) hospital. It is maybe useless to say that compared to most of the hospitals in Western Europe it probably would not have stand the test but it seemed fair to me to review this as a local hospital. In my opinion, for examinations and/or GP (family doctor / General Practitioner) kind of things this hospital and Dr Shi and her colleagues passed the test.
