Creator's Key Takeaways

We knew we wanted to come to Prince Court for the affordable Health Screening and also knew we wanted some referrals as a result.

The total cost for both of us, because as Helen says, she has slightly more treatments, is 3,950 Malaysian ringit or $862.85 at the exchange rate when it came through on our credit card.

It was all very well organized. I think everyone has said that to be honest if you've ever watched any other videos about this, but it's all very well organized um and very efficient.

It's all about the money and it doesn't matter where you go in the world. It all comes down to the mool.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Call the hospital to snag an earlier appointment instead of booking online.
Be fasting for blood work and schedule early morning appointments.
Take control of your health direction and don't rely solely on doctor referrals.
Consider getting dental work or glasses in Thailand or Vietnam for potentially lower costs.

YouTube Video Description

The plan with coming to KL was always going to be about health checks. We knew we wanted to come to Prince Court for the affordable Health Screening and also knew we wanted some referrals as a result. We booked online but when we called we managed to snag an earlier appointment that was available so try to do that so you get your appointment. We did a fell day of health screening and that covered a lot of tests. We chose the over 50's test and they run different tests for males and females. The tests themselves took about 4 1/2 hours and then you move onto the consultation, review and referrals. We had a lot of referrals and the efficiency of going between doctors is truly amazing. In the US you fill a new patient record every year with every doctor. Here all information and results is readily shared between each doctor which saves time and money. The referrals start and we had a lot of them. We saw our initial referrals on the Monday after our executive health screening on the Thursday. That was something like 9 appointments on that day between us. Whilst we found the Executive Health Screening to be affordable and efficient the referrals began to feel more about the money than the patient. We discovered new treatments they do not even do in the USA and found our treatments to be on par with the UK and USA, just more efficient and affordable. The key is to take responsibility for your own health and ask questions. Helen got her fractured foot taken care of as well as a new drug for Psioratic Arthritis that was $500 a month compared to $7000 in the USA. I took care of my trigger finger with Physio at a lower cost than the USA, a thoird of the price and I had insurance in the US). Lastly we talk about Dentist and Opticians.

We are a pair of British Expats that decided to retire in our early 50’s to travel the world full time. In 2004 we left Leicester in England to live in Davenport Florida and set up a Flower Shop. We brought our 2 Rottweilers along for the ride and they had a great life in the sun. Through all of the trials and tribulations that involves (Recession, COVID, Hurricanes, Inflation and everything else) in 2023 we sold that flower shop, our house and our car to become nomadic. We sold everything we own aside from some items in our storage unit mainly photos and a few keepsakes. In April 2024 we set off with 10 million credit card points and the money we had saved to become Global Nomads. We plan to use the credit card points to travel until they run out and will then start to spend our money on accommodation. Helen has an autoimmune disease which makes walking hard and accessing doctors and bloodwork were a major concern on our travels. We will document the process of appointments, prescriptions, bloodwork and keeping on top of all of that when you are thousands of miles from your primary care Doctor We love Formula 1 so will be at races if they match our dates and plans. Helen travels with a Nikon camera so wildlife photography is definitely a passion, as with all photography it comes with a lot of heavy gear that takes up valuable space and weight! Life is short, we intend to see everything we can while we are young….ish We are here for a good time, not a long time. https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNomads93/ https://www.instagram.com/globalnomads93?igsh=emg1ZzkybnJyOXZv Email: globalnomads93@gmail.com
