This year, I had some knee pain that lasted quite a while & had me pretty concerned. I was in Lebanon at the time, so I decided to go to a doctor there. Come with me to a top-rated Orthopedic Clinic in Beirut where I get my knee checked out by a specialist! ▼ MORE BELOW ▼

To finish the story, the MRI came back showing that there was no visible injury to any of the muscles. So we concluded that the knee pain I was having was due to a muscle imbalance that I fixed over time with physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around my knee. These days, I'm feeling great! No more pain :)

Thanks for the video. It also makes me feel like i want to hug these medical staff in hospitals when i see them smiling and giving the same care that they used to give when their salaries were livable. They are getting 100$ a month but they have humanity and compassion above all and this is painful to see. Lebanon is being destroyed deliberately by bad politicians. I mean evil bad and not just ignorant or stupid, pure evil bastards!

Dr. Samer actually printed out the physical therapy exercises I needed to do, and said it wouldn't be necessary for me to spend the money to go to a Physiotherapist when I could just do them easily myself. Although he did say he has a team, which I'm sure he would connect you with (if necessary) when you go and see him.

The Dr. didn't lower his consultation fees. It's because of the change of the $ rate. So a 100$ used to make about 150k lebanese pounds. At a $ rate of 10k the 150k lebanese pounds = 15$ ! Same thing happened with ppl's salary that went from 1500$~2000$ per month to barely 150 to 200$ per month.

Yes, it is easy for Americans, or those who are still receiving their salaries in dollars, but not regular jobs or the Lebanese people as a whole. This is other than that there is no abundance of jobs and everything is expensive. I hope you feel better in your knee.

You say its cheap compared to the US and i totally understand where your coming from but i would ask of you to take into consideration and let people know in your videos that 400,000 lebanese lira or pound is alot compared to the current lebanese salaries. A general im the army would probably get a salary of three million lebanese lira so an mri would take 400k out of his salary that would leave him with two Million six hundred not to mention rent and two electric bills as well as gas money and groceries. Those are the basics im not taking into account anything else. Now lets say this guy did his mri and now needs to pay for his treatment. Do you think he can afford it? So in terms of if the mri was cheap or not. I think its fair priced. But in terms of is it affordable? No i dont think it is at all. A mere 40$ and its expensive what has has happened to my country. Im so Mad and disappointed. Separate note; keep it up i love your videos and how you show lebanon. I watched a video of your hike in zahle im from baalbak a place near zahle and i didnt know such a place existed. Thank you for showing me i will vist soon. Much love❤️
