I almost collapsed in the waiting room, they carried me to a bed and the doctor came in a few minutes later. I told him my symptoms and all I've been going through (Ill spare you the details). This is the most shocking part - zero blood pressure or temperature check, just put me on an IV and had me wait alone in a room for 30 min. I had to call someone to come back in and take out the needle because they forgot about me. I asked the doctor if he could call my parents or my employer, I told him I'm completely on my own and staying in hotels, he replied no "definitely can't do that". No medicine prescribed, no Covid tests on hand, just an amateur arrogant attitude. I've never left a review like this on anything but I'm appalled. US healthcare might not be free but its 1000x better than this place.

Complete total shit quality, disgusting and rude patient service. Please just kill me now. Welcome to Schwabing Krankenhaus. Rude, arrogant, not helpful young Doctor/ Doctor student sitting there putting on lipgloss and getting chewing gum from her purse while the room was filled with patients. So much more I could write. Wish I could post videos so you could see the horrible truth.

I had an accident in the snow recently and, had my first hospital experience, since arriving in…read moreGermany. As this place is the closest to where I live and, has an A&E department, it was as good a choice as any. Couple of the residents in the building warned me that language could be a challenge and, to expect long wait times. Language was a challenge specially when, you are not used to German and, more importantly German medical terms which are, quite different to English language terms. When we arrived a lady came to see me and asked a few questions and, asked me to fill in a form which took about 2 mins. Not bad so far, and within 20 mins I was seen by a doctor and, sent to radiology for a scan. Within about 40mins I was back with the doctor who had my images on his computer screen and my diagnosis was done. They treated me, wrote out my report, bandaged me up and, called a cab, so I could get home. Within about 1-1:15 I was out of the place. The staff were very helpful and, all but one person spoke only German. I had some difficulty but managed just the same. I was very pleased with the facility, service and the doctor who treated me. I would happily use the A&E services here again. If you don't know the language bring a local with you or, have someone on the phone available just in case ;-) it would also help looking up basic medical terms :-)

She cant even stand by her own two feet after passing out and rushed to the hospital. They kick her out on the street and left her there to die! That is the cruelest hospital I have ever seen. Never have I witnessed such little concern for human life. She is dying right now as we speak.

This week I had a complete E2E experience at Klinikum rechts der Isar, the teaching hospital of the…read moreTechnical University of Munich. Emergency room, three-days hospitalisation, out-patient follow-ups. The emergency room was about a 45 minute wait on a busy Monday evening, the insurance, hospitalisation and discharge processes were all hassle-free. The amenities in my double-bed room were also exactly right, neither luxurious nor too spartan, reminding me of the amenities during last hospitalisation experience of about 5 years ago in Stanford Medical Center. The foyer is also a unique selling point at rechts der Isar. It's a welcoming space with lots of glass, comfortable leather couches and leafy views. There's also a newsstand, barber and small cafe serving fruit, snacks and also ice-cream this time of year. As a in-care patient, it's especially nice to have a destination when you're up and stretching your legs. There was only one nit, and perhaps it's a professional sensitivity: the hospital is entirely offline. Meaning, no WiFi in the patient areas, patients or doctors, no electronic documents, lots of redundant paperwork and information gathering. Documents are not shared between the in- and out-care areas of the same team, they're re-done. E-Medicine at rechts der Isar is probably a decade behind, when I compare it to the US. And let's not mention the entirely paperless Finnish system. Most importantly, the care I received at rechts der Isar was top-notch. Competent and fresh-faced team of doctors, friendly and efficient nurses, a holistic approach, mixing both innovative and time-tested methods to getting my injury fixed and me back on my feet.
