“Tenofovir TAF at $15/month vs $1,800 in the US — that part is just true. The HBV consult was an hour and the FibroScan, viral load and full panel came back the same week. Only minus is the international department was busy.”
“Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) at Huashan endo. Three-visit titration plan, real labs, real doctor. Saving roughly $1,100/month vs the US — and they actually flagged a thyroid nodule on baseline ultrasound.”
“Wegovy in the US was $1,400 per month with insurance gymnastics. At Shanghai Sixth, the same drug from the hospital pharmacy is $280, and I got a proper endocrinology workup before they prescribed it.”
