Long before he entered politics Trump publicly demanded that 5 (racial minority) men accused of raping a jogger be executed. This was before they even came to trial. Fortunate that they were not executed as it was later conclusively proved (after wrongful conviction and imprisonment) that they were innocent. He does not appear to be a fan of due process where minorities are concerned. Conversely he has been vocal in support for wealthy whites jnvolved in human trafficking (e.g. repeated public support for Ghislaine Maxwell; support for initial immunity deal for Jeffrey Epstein).

Among other thins anticoagulants make having surgery, dental work, invasive procedures (e.g. colonoscopy) rather problematic.

There are apparently agents who can help with opening a bank account. I don't have details but others on this forum will. OR, if you can - enter on a non-O visa rather than a tourist visa. Make sure the hotel or wherever you stay files a TM30 form. Then get residency certificate form relevant imm office.

I don't doubt you have been paying. I am trying to explain to you why this may be and how you can correct it. Where do you live relative to where the children are listed in a tabian ban (house registration book)?

Thais most definitely DO have access to free health care. The "30 baht" scheme is still very much in place and nationwide. Covers every Thai citizen not covered under one of the 2 Social Security schemes (that would be what you referred to about paying tax). There are however restrictions on which facilities can be used, just as there is one nominated hospital under the SS scheme, under the "30 baht" (AKA "universal" or "go0ld card") schemes a specific hospital must be used based on where the citizen is registered in a tabian ban. And certain "extras" like a private room, or an elective (not medically indicated) C-section, would have to be paid for out of pocket.

Rajawithi is a government hospital. While it is possible (not sure) that they do VABB pain relief for the procedure may not be optimal and waits etc will be long and time for doctor explanations limited. From what you describe of her anxiety over this I really suggest you take her to Namarak. Even the decor is soothing.

travel insurance: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/travel-insurance Seems well recommended and policy can be bought at many post office branches. No age limit for single trip policies. If he moves to Thailand hre would need a regular health insurance policy. At age 74 options are few and premium (just for hospitalization costs, not outpatient) will be in the vicinity of 4,000 - 5,000 pounds annually. Best option in terms of cost is probably Cigna Global out of the UK - not to be confused with Cigna Thailand which is a Thai company and in any case apparently being phased out. https://www.cignaglobal.com/contact

Should still be easily able to get it. Just bring your passport and hospital number to the medical records dept (they might provide it there or might tell you to go to imaging dept, varies with the hospital but start at Medical Records). No need to consult doctor to get records. It is usually free but they might charge a small fee to burn the CD. Sometimes slow bleeds occur after a head in jury and the leakage can be so slow that nothing is evident on scan in the first few weeks or even month. Hopefully not the case with you but needs to be checked with a repeat scan comparing it to the first. If you can get to Bangkok I suggest https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Kraisri-Chantra https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Methee-Wongsirisuwan

Great news. The arrythmia (conduction issue he referred to) is AV block but only 1st degree. And might indeed be due to meds. Great that the ablation worked...haveyou been able to go off the anticoagulants?

Does he have any underlying health conditions? And is he prepared to be flown back to UK if needed for health care? (A travel policy would be best but with these, the insurer has option of paying for care locally or paying to med-evac back home)

It is available in Thailand under these brand names: Remeron Soltab (imported) Merasal (locally made) Zamir (locally made) It does not require prescriptio0n but only very lareg pharmacies likely to have it. Might try Medisafe (online pharmacy) https://medisafepharma.com/ Have to use the Messenger funtion, ordering doirect on website doesn't work.

As the headaches have persisted several months (and, apparently, not lessened in intensity) you should definitely see a neurologist again. Where are you located, and what neurologist did you see previously? Depending on answer I might suggest you go elsewhere but if so need to bring prior CT film (on CD) with you for comparison.

This is not the case for deaths occurring in hospital where doctor can certify cause of death. I also know cases who died at home who were able to avoid autopsy as cause of death was obvious and they had been under a doctor's care for a terminal illness. But a death outside of hospital and not under medical care forr a terminal disease yes, would require autopsy

The quality of autopsies here is poor in the extreme. Often just say "heart failure" or "cardiac arrest" with no further explanation. And unlike in the west there is no direct linkage between the autopsy process and forensic investigation. This is true even in Bangkok. Down on the islands, rudimentary in the extreme. If they want answers the only way is to get the body back as quickly as possible for a post mortem in Oz. Bear in mind that the "cyanide killer" was able to kill more than a dozen people -- young, healthy people suddenly dead without warning - and no questions raised on cause of death.

Totally aside from the facial recognition for large transfers business, Kasikorn has updated its online terms and app. I'm out of the country now but as far as I can tell, no major impact. Your password etc from prior online app migrates over.

It needs not just a dentist but a specialist on oral & maxilofacial surgery. Cheapest option: Chonburi government hospital (in the town, big hospital). BUT there may be a wait list6, and they likely won't give more than local anesthesia. Otherwise, Pattaya Memorial Hospital is the least expensive of the private hospitals. See Dr. MANIT RATTANAKIJKAMON there. https://www.pattayamemorial.com/ShowContent.aspx?id=302086

Good. As you are post ablation they will surely do an EKG

For a solid mass rated BIRADs 4a biopsy is indeed standard and normally done under local. If necessary an oral or IV tranquiluzer may be given to reduce anxiety. This is much safer than general anesthesia. The preferred approach is something called Vacuum assisted breast biopsy (VABB) with ultrasound guidance. This is also a needle but very large gauge , enough to get a solid mass, and attached to a vacuum device. I do not know if Sukhumvit Hospital does this. There is a small hospital in Bangkok purely for breast issues, run by one of the country's foremost breast surgeons, a woman. Most of the staff are also women and the whole ambience is designed to make women feel at ease. I suggest getting all records from Sukhumvit Hospital and taking your wife there for the biopsy. www.namarak.com

Melatonin (get online from Shoppee, Lazada or iHerb). Personally I need 5 - 10 mg but everyone is different. Stick to known brands like Puritan Pride, Natrol, Nature's Bounty. Sominar (doxylamine) 25 mg or hydroxyzine 25 mg can both be bought over the counter. They are actually antihistamines but have a sedative effect and often used for sleep especially the Sominar. Action tends to be prolonged so take only when you have plenty of time to sleep. Some people feel groggy next day.

This And once cleared up zinc oxide to prevent recurrence

EKG will show evidence of any current myocardial ischemia, past heart attacks and present cardiac rhythm. It cannot really predict future arrhythmias. Is it possible to get and post a longer rhythm strip, keeping very still during?

Not easy to find as rarely used by Thais. Best bet is probably pharmacy in area with a lot of tourists. I suggest you try Southeast Pharmacy on Sukhumvit https://www.facebook.com/SEPharmacy/ And also 1-2 large pharmacies on opposite (south) side of sukhumvit near Soi 2 and the freeway overpass If these fail, medconsult can almost surely find it for you but there iwll ba about a 300baht surcharge https://www.medconsultasia.com/contact/ Best to communicate with them via Line app or email, webpage doesn't work so well Absolute worst case, the following more readily available pills all contain the same estrogen dose and same progestin as Triquilar, but with the progestin in same dosage throughout the cycle i.e. not triphasic: Anna Cleo Microgynon 30 Microlenyn 30 Milly Nordette

Is that your EKG on the right directly above? As it looks normal. The rhythm strip you posted in the post before that, on the other hand, does not. It is a bit too short to be sure what it is, maybe atrial flutter or heart block? Anyway definitely not sinus rhythm. As you say you are also feeling unwell I suggest you not wait for Friday but see the cardio doc sooner. The height and shape of QRS complex differs in different leads. I have no idea what your home machine equates to in that respect. I don't think those machines are suitable for much more than heart rate and identification of a few obvious arrythmias.
