I'm thinking that maybe a number of "healthy" 60-70 year old Thais are not actually healthy. Some of them never get a checkup.

It could be this. One condition that the blood bank will refuse your blood is that if you had lived in the UK for 6 months or more during 1980-1996 or had been given blood in that time period. This is to prevent spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease)

Since Siriraj is a teaching hospital, one of the better way to just show up and meet with a specialist in that day is to participate in teaching session.

1500 baht blood test is very possible.

some (very few) test are not support by 30 baht.

Dog vaccines do protect people.

But there's always a chance that the vaccine doesn't work in that dog.

Standard recommendation stands that you should get a course of rabies vaccine as soon as possible if your wound has blood (that the dog's saliva could come to contact with your blood vessel).

Don't forget that there is virtually no cure for rabies once the symptom has developed.

In order to state something like that you have to go into the whole business concerning electrolytes, so I request an explanation.

OR: I could say "No it couldn't".

Some disease or condition that cause low sodium also cause impair excretion of potassium. If one has such condition, taking strong potassium electrolyte drinks could cause high potassium level which could cause many bad things including sudden death from abnormal electrical activity of the heart.

Interesting keywords: hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypoaldosteronism

If you have sodium problem it could be bad if you take strong potassium electrolyte drinks.

For the peace of mind. She can change her primary hospital by calling 1330 or by NHSO line app. Check https://www.moneyguru.co.th/lifestyle/articles/วิธีการย้ายสิทธิเปลี่ยนหน่วยบริการสำหรับบัตรทอง (in Thai) .

I suggest your fiance can check her current healthcare program and the first hospital from this web.

Insomnia or not sleeping is not a medical indication for medical cannabis.

Out of curiosity. May I ask what is your concern? For my entire career I have seen many family asking for fewer shot. This is the first time I have ever heard of someone asking for more shot.

I also understand if you do not want to answer.

Yes. From virtually any decent pharmacy.

today I went to mahidol travel clinic for a first time pneumonia. I was refused because I am below 65 and don't have underlying.

So I went for MMR for 550b, a booster to one which i probably had a child.

They were insisting on flu, also offering hep A and japanese ence. I have refused.

Does anybody know clinic in bangkok where is I can get Pneumococcal vaccine 13 Prevnar?

At mahidol it goes for 2700b

Virtually any pediatrician clinic.

50.4% effective means those who got the vaccine will have 50.4% less chance of contracting COVID-19 than those who did not get the vaccine.

Doesn't mean that those who got the vaccine will have 50.4% chance of contracting COVID-19.

Popular name for ADHD is "โรคสมาธิสั้น" and sometimes "โรคซนสมาธิสั้น"

I would recommend books by pediatric psychiatrist Dr Prasert Plitponkanpim "ทำอย่างไรเมื่อเจ้าตัวเล็กสมาธิสั้น" ("What to do when your kid have ADHD". Should be available at many bookstore including se-ed and naiin.

mRNA.... DNA (e.g. GSK's vaccine) ..... I don't think it makes much difference. At least not to me.  My concern is focused on the actual proteins.  One of the ways that viruses evade the immune system is to make viral proteins "look" like host proteins.  This means that a vaccine (or infection) could trigger an autoimmune reaction that is self-sustaining.  So far it sounds like the vaccines are safe.  Unless I see any red flags reported I plan on getting vaccinated.

 

To put the mRNA issue in perspective, that's essentially what RNA viruses are - strands of protein encapsulated in some way to protect the genetic material from degradation and facilitate entry into cells.

That won't happen if the manufacturer do not produce such lookalike protein. Why would they?

Motor vehicle are mandate to have a form of insurance (พรบ). this will cover the first 30,000 baht.

The rest will be covered by NHSO.

Without such mandate insurance the motorcyclist will have to pay 30,000 baht.

I'm really impressed that you've surveyed all Thai people on what they call this key to come to the conclusion that "most Thais" call is "space bar".  Or are you simply making this up?

30+ years of living in Thailand I have never met any Thais who called this by name other than สเปซบาร์.

Also I have never surveyed all Thai. Nobody had. Ever.

Lots of Thai show in streaming services (netflix) come with English subtitles.

Bad Genius the Series in WeTV is a good one. I like it.

most Thais called this สเปซบาร์ (space bar)

She can check where her 30-baht hospital is here.

You need citizen ID, birthday (buddhist calendar, year plus 543)  , and verification text on screen.

It shouldn't.

If you take flu shot every year around this time. Then go for it.

If you take flu shot at the beginning of THAI flu season (around May) , wait for next May.

Flu shot is practically everywhere vaccines are provided.

Pediatric clinics are safe bet.

Child development clinic is specialized in diagnose and help children with dyslexia.

Such clinic is found in Medical School (Chulalongkorn, Siriraj, Ramathibodi, etc) and some big hospital.
