Hegau-Bodensee- Klinikum Radolfzell

By no means is going to the hospital a pleasant experience, but if you have the unfortunate need to go, this is not a bad place to do so. I was on vacation nearby when a mystery case of altitude sickness or some other type of severe travel related illness hit me. After hours of not feeling well, the relatives I was visiting brought me here. It was around 10 pm on a Friday night. Very minimal wait to be seen, less than 10 minutes. This is a small and basic equipped hospital but serves most emergency related needs. I don’t speak German but luckily the doctor on staff spoke English. However the nurse assisting him did not so we required a bit of translation. Either way, everyone was friendly helpful and quick to make me feel better. After spending an hour or so getting rehydrated by IV I was feeling much better and ready to go. I had travel medical insurance but the staff seemed perplexed by my insurance card and had no idea how to process it. I ended up paying 70 euros cash. An extremely reasonable rate considering these services would have literally cost $ 5000 back home in the US. It was worth every penny to get checked out by medical staff and feel better so I could continue enjoying my trip.
