Hospital in Shanghai

[chilton747]

My brother-in-law has a colleague in Shanghai that has suffered a massive stroke. From the sound of it, he is not in a very good hospital there. It seems that I have heard that Shanghai has a very good hospital there that can effectively deal with this kind of situation.

 

Does anyone here know of the best hospital there that caters to western people?

 

Thanks!!

Sorry to hear of the news. I hope your wife is taking it ok. I'm sure it is a bad feeling to be so far when something like this happens.

Thanks for the links Dan. I am now trying to find out the name of the hospital he is in now. They had him on a cot earlier so I figure this hospital is not one of those mentioned in the links. This hospital said he needs to go to Hong Kong. And of course he can't travel so I figure they are trying to keep him there for money purposes. I was just told he is in a state hospital. Also I was just told that he is being transferred to a hospital with English speaking doctors that will begin rehab. Maybe he is good hands now.

Ok, sorry to hear the news, but, I also glad to hear I read it wrong and it is not your wife's brother.

Never trust marketing material. Hong Kong would be my first choice for treatment as well. The doctors there tend to be a cut above those in China, perhaps because they have to do real post graduate medical school training like in the West.

 

I have no firsthand experience with neurology dept, but the two times I went to Huashan clinic, I was not impressed. They may offer some services in English, but the doctors are still local doctors. It they were really trying to make a quick buck off of your relative, I'm sure they would have removed his appendix by now as an adjunct to treating the stroke.

 

If you can pay Western rates, you might check some of the expat oriented clinics like Parkway Health (formerly Worldlink) or Shanghai East International Medical Center to see if they have any relevant specialists or if they can give recommendations. Note that clinics are not hospitals and won't have ICUs, but they have relationships with local hospitals and labs so at least you can might be able to get a Western attending physician. Some hospitals (like Shanghai East regular hospital - ¶«·½Ò½Ôº) have VIP sections to get access to the better local specialists. Not having used those, I'm not sure what size red envelopes you might have to prepare to guarantee better attention and treatment.
