Forums > Living in Kunming > Broken leg right at the ankle... need advice... @vicar I paid 1000 kuai in total. The surgery that I opted against was 20k... I've gotten feedback from two western medical field people, one a surgeon, and one an MRI/radiologist with over 20 years XP. I'll probably shell out around 1000 more before this is over for a new cast, x rays, and doctor visits.
And I have insurance through my school so I should get about half of what I paid back.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Broken leg right at the ankle... need advice... @Alien it was a little less than 1000 kuai for x rays, ER visit, set, cast, and medication.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Broken leg right at the ankle... need advice... Thanks all for the responses. I'm sure I'll be back in good health soon!
Forums > Living in Kunming > Broken leg right at the ankle... need advice... @Stratocaster no, 20,000 was for surgery. From having asked my friend's dad in the US, and from my research online, appears surgery really isn't usually necessary for this fracture. I've got a friend from the US visiting in a couple weeks so I'll get a second opinion from someone when we visit Thailand.
