Storytime: Getting BACK SURGERY in POLAND | what to expect from a Polish public hospital 👀

In December 2023, my husband had back surgery to fix three herniated discs. He spent four days in a Polish public hospital.....and here's what happened 👀 In this storytime video, I'm sharing all about our experience with the Polish public hospitals. It was VERY different from the hospitals we have in America, but hopefully you find this video helpful and informative in case you need surgery or are wondering what to expect from the hospitals in Poland. And don't forget--be sure to share this video with anyone you know who is curious about healthcare in Poland vs. America, and let me know in the comments what you thought of our experience in the public hospital! A FEW NOTES: 1. The doctors and medical equipment used in the Polish hospital were the best of the best, which are the most important things when it comes to care. While we were completely unaware of the hospital conditions before arriving, we would do it all over again because of how great the medical staff were! 2. While there are some benefits to American hospitals, there are also a lot of things wrong with the healthcare system (with financial burdens being one of them). With that said, I am very grateful we were able to get this surgery done in Poland due to the high quality doctors and equipment, with the procedure being fully covered by NFZ. While our American insurance would have covered a lot of this, it wouldn't have covered everything.

It's a myth that everyone goes broke going to an American hospital. How much you pay out of pocket completely depends on your insurance, type of treatment, the hospital, where you are, and the copay/deductible!!! While some people can come out only paying a small fee, others may experience serious financial woes, which is absolutely heartbreaking. 4. According to federal law, American hospitals with emergency departments are required to provide emergency treatment to anyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
