BUN down from 29.9 to 23.9 and Creatinine 2.59 to 2.33 in 3 months. I've managed to lose quite a lot of weight which has helped and I've found a lot of nutritional info on the internet, which is probably as good as I will find in Thailand. I've thought about moving, but if I did, I would do it alone, as it would probably be back to Europe. As the saying goes, I've made my bed.... Anyway thanks for your help Sheryl, keep up the good work!

Just to let you know, I went to First Western Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning as I was having difficulty breathing, my gf took me there. Overnight and during the morning I had 3 blood tests, as many ECG's and an x-ray (which showed clear lungs) I feel a lot better this morning and conclude that I had a bit of a panic attack, probably not helped by my ex-wife and good friend telling me that her brother nearly died from pulmonary edema. The surprise was being asked to pay 40,000 tbh, which was reduced to 38,000 after I questioned some of the items. 3 blood tests came to 18,000 and a dose of Gaviscon 990, for example. A recent ECG, x-ray and comprehensive blood test at Bandon Hospital cost less than 4000 tbh, but I went to FW this time as it is much closer. The treatment at both hospitals is comparable

Thanks Sheryl, I must admit that I thought that flying might not be a good idea. I'll try the 1st Western.

I'm living in Koh Phangan and need to see a good nephrologist. I am short of breath for much of the day and wondering if I have the onset of pulmonary edema. I have pretty good insurance cover through the French CFE and would be grateful for any recommendations.

Transport from/to the islands Phangan, Tao and Samui
delgarcon replied to khunPer's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Yesterday I went to the KP Municipal office to apply for permission to go to see a doctor in Surat Thani and return the following day. There was a printed notice on the wall that clearly stated that permission for this return trip could only be given at the check point on Thong Sala Pier, so I went there, to be told that they could only give this permission if the case was urgent, i.e. if one had had a heart attack! So back I went to the Municipal office where I eventually got my permission. -

Yes I'm sure, it was my way of saying that it's impossible to understand the forever changing regulations in this country. Sorry you didn't get it! -

Cambridge International AS and A Level Thinking Skills (9694) Thinking Skills develops a set of transferable skills, including critical thinking, reasoning and problem solving, that students can apply across a wide range of subjects and complex real world issues. The syllabus enables students to develop their ability to analyse unfamiliar problems, devise problem solving strategies, and evaluate the diverse ways a problem may be solved. During a Thinking Skills course, students learn to put their personal views aside in favour of examining and evaluating the evidence. Students learn how to make informed and reasoned decisions and construct evidence-based arguments. NOT IN THAILAND THEY WONT! -

Unbelievable, you're all so self centred that you don't even think of the boy or what his family are going through! -

Love Jeremy Clarkson or hate him, I urge anyone who has not watched Clarkson's Farm to do so. This series is Pure Gold and gives us a great insight into the trials and tribulations of farming and to the man himself.Good fun along the way! -

Bosch, a series about an LAPD homicide detective, very well adapted from Michael Connelly's superb novels, 8.4 on IMDB I dare you not to binge! -
