  1. Suspended sentence for smuggling drugs, 4 years for chopping down a tree! Laughable
  2. Thanks a lot Sheryl, I was thinking about a package, as I have other issues. I'll have a look at your suggestions.
  3. Hi Sheryl, several years ago a French cardiologist, during an ultrasound, told me that one of my carotid arteries had a slight blockage, which he said was nothing to worry about at the moment. Now, now and again, I feel this tightness in my neck and when I get up I feel dizzy and have to hold on to something or sit down.
  4. I was recommended Tramadol by a doc a couple of years back and Ive used them ever since, when necessary. No sign of addiction.
  5. I need to find a good cardiologist, probably in Bangkok, who can help me with my problem.
  6. Reminds me of one of Ronald Reagans stories. This 80 year old man was telling everyone what a wonderful time he was having with a 22 year old woman who lived with him. Regular sex, great food and a loving girl friend. As he was telling the story in the local pub, he began to cry and they asked why he was crying. Ive forgotten where I live, he said
  7. Here in Koh Phangan it is restricted to 1 day, the 13th and I will stay at home and enjoy the water in my pool
  8. Quite right impulse, no way your going to put new tyres on a rental. Here in KP 200 TBH for a tube including fitting.
  9. I live in Koh Phangan and there is always a good selection of Hawaiian shirts in the markets, at good prices. I first started wearing them when I bought a couple of Tommy Bahamas shirts in Santa Monica. Smarter than a t shirt on occasion. Even though I live here, I would never show of my hairy armpits with some of the classless crap worn here.
  10. Apparently 4 people have been killed in a minivan crash, not yet reported
  11. Thanks Sheryl, Ive got an appointment at the Samitivej hospital on Wednesday am.
  12. I had endovascular surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm a few years back and following an ultrasound exam in BKK hospital Samui, it seems that the aneurysm may be leaking. To be sure, I need to have a CT Scan, using contrasting dye. The problem with this is that I have stage 5 ckd with a gfr of 15 and the dye is likely to finish off the kidneys and necessitate dialysis immediately. Obviously I need to see a good vascular surgeon ASAP. Your help would be much appreciated.
  13. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 146 seconds  
  14. Thanks Sheryl, Ill let you know how we progress
  15. Thanks for your reply Sheryl. We live in Koh Phangan, so Bangkok would probably make sense. As you have suggested, We need to see a specialist, who can advise us of the best way forward. The doctor at Surat Thani hospital, apart from the blood transfusions has given us folic acid and vitamin pills and told us to come back in 3 months (15 Jan) There are several problems that I can see for myself, the girl is very anemic and pale, even jaundiced and her spleen is obviously enlarged which is making it difficult for her to pee, although it doesnt hurt her.
  16. My GF and I are looking after a 9 yo Thai girl, who has Thalassemia Beta and will be in need of this transplant, if she is to live a normal life. So far she has had 2 blood transfusions at the Surat Thani government hospital, at no cost, but as I will have to pay for surgery, I would be grateful if anyone knows of a pediatrician that specialises in this field that I can get in touch with.
  17. The 1st 2 episodes of Conflict are available on movies2watch,tv. The 3rd and final episode was only aired last night
  18. The state of British politics almost demands a bit of outside help and Nigel Farage could be just what the doctor ordered. I reckon Maggie would approve.
  19. Elon Musk craves attention and he probably sees Nigel Farage as a useful conveyance. Farage is going to go very close to being the UKs next PM and if Musk can help him get there Elon will once again share the limelight.
  20. Nothing yet hk. We`ve had our house painted and a few repairs here and there taken care of, but the road where we live is flooded at the moment and the concrete road that the authorities have promised us is on hold until the rain abates. When we get round to a visit, I`ll certainly give you an update
  21. Can you elaborate please, I'm thinking of moving to Hua Hin and I'd like opinions on local hospitals, both private and government. Thanks
  22. I saw them at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970, brilliant!
