I
am
an
Australian
traveller
who
was
admitted
to
the
Family
Hospital
for
12
nights.
I
found
that
the
hospital
has
amazing
staff
and
services,
and
is
a
first
class
hospital.
Family
Hospital
was
the
only
hospital
in
Da
Nang
that
would
help
me
in
my
time
of
need.
Within
one
hour
of
being
at
the
hospital,
I
had
an
emergency
MRI,
following
that
I
was
admitted
l
and
saw
a
neurosurgeon
within
3
hours.
Dr
Nguyen
was
my
treating
neurosurgeon.
He
is
amazing
and
I
highly
recommend
him.
He
had
my
best
interests
at
heart
and
wanted
to
ensure
that
I
was
discharged
following
an
appropriate
amount
of
rehabilitation.
Foong
and
Nguyen
Thi
Le
were
my
main
nurses
and
they
and
kind,
attentive
and
caring.
Communication
was
not
really
an
issue
if
they
did
not
speak
fluent
English
as
we
relied
on
google
translate
and
all
questions
were
answered
without
any
real
confusion.
Tin
(Kevin)
was
my
physiotherapist.
When
I
arrived
at
hospital
I
could
barley
walk,
but
I
made
significant
improvements
with
his
fantastic
assistance
and
advice.
He
speaks
fluent
English
and
we
became
friends.
He
is
an
amazing
person
-
he
even
gave
me
his
personal
phone
number
to
answer
any
questions
that
may
arise
once
I
returned
to
Australia.
The
rehabilitation
unit
is
first
class.
The
methods
they
implement
are
modern
medicine
mixed
with
traditional
medicine.
I
had
heard
that
acupuncture
could
help
reduce
pain
and
relieve
some
of
sleep
issues.
Dr
Tue
is
a
magician
and
totally
changed
my
perspective
with
respect
to
traditional
medicine.
The
acupuncture
gave
me
extended
periods
of
pain
relief
and
increased
mobility.
I
also
got
a
decent
night
sleep
after
seeking
acupuncture
therapy
for
sleep
issues.
The
natural
sleep
remedies
that
were
prescribed
worked
much
better
than
the
pharmaceuticals.
I
was
sceptical
of
traditional
medicine
but
my
experience
at
the
Family
Hospital
changed
my
view.
In
relation
to
physical
therapy,
I
usually
spent
about
2-3
hours
a
day
with
Tin,
Dr
Tue
and
the
other
staff
members.
I
was
initially
sceptical
of
their
methods,
but
my
skepticism
quickly
disappeared
after
I
found
myself
getting
some
pain
relief
and
increased
mobility.
I
would
say
that
their
methods
are
exceptional
and
perhaps
even
better
than
my
experience
with
Australian
physiotherapists.
The
methods
they
used
included
massage,
physical
exercises
with
resistance,
cupping,
ultrasound
therapy,
heat
and
ice
therapy,
shortwave
therapy,
electrical
pulse
therapy
and
acupuncture.
In
my
view,
the
acupuncture
assisted
the
most.
Overall,
the
wholistic
approach
of
the
rehabilitation
team
leave
something
for
Australian
rehabilitation
units/physiotherapist
to
consider.
They
should
take
a
page
or
two
out
of
Family
Hospital’s
playbook
and
emulate
it
-
it
was
truly
first
class.
The
international
clinic
staff
are
very
helpful
including
Lin
who
assisted
me
with
my
(very
unhelpful)
insurer.
The
cleaning
staff
are
courteous
and
amazingly
happy.
I
became
friends
with
So
Din
Thoa
and
we
high
fived
each
other
when
we
crossed
paths.
She
phoned
me
to
check
up
on
me
even
though
her
English
was
limited.
As
a
foreigner
who
was
admitted
for
12
nights,
I
have
absolutely
no
regrets
or
issues
about
my
experience
at
Family
Hospital.
Each
staff
member
from
the
doctors
to
the
cleaners
wanted
to
ensure
that
my
relatively
long
stay
was
as
comfortable
as
possible.
This
was
achieved
by
their
caring
attitude
and
willingness
to
help
in
any
circumstance.
My
room
was
clean
and
comfortable,
I
had
private
room
with
a
large
TV,
desk
and
couch
for
guests.
It
was
cleaned
very
regularly
and
I
have
no
complaints
about
the
quality
of
the
room
or
infrastructure.
I
could
not
recommend
Family
Hospital
high
enough
to
anyone
in
need
of
medical
assistance,
especially
to
a
foreigner.
The
staff
go
above
and
beyond
and
are
truely
concerned
about
your
welfare.
If
you
are
a
foreigner
go
to
level
2
to
go
to
the
international
clinic
in
the
first
instance.
From
there,
you
will
be
looked
after
by
the
relevant
department.
The
staff
really
care
about
you
and
your
welfare.
10/10
thank
you
amazing
people.
