I am Thai, living in the Netherlands. Overhere there were more than 6,800 tested positive yesterday. People are still dying everyday. The Government did not support wearing masks and until last week "strongly advise" wearing masks indoor. I am a cancer patient. My hospital appointment for follow up has been cancelled/postponed further notice. Preparations at hospitals are made to handle the even/could be more Covid19 patients. Despite all the corruption, not keeping promises etc etc, Thai government has handled this matter better than Europe and many other countries. Here we, more matured people, are living with fear, praying that things will get better. My husband and I would rather be in Bangkok during this pandemic time.

Hi,

I am looking for a good orthopedic doctor/surgeon in Bangkok. I am 71 years old and had a total hip replacement six years ago on my left hip. Since more than a years ago I have pain and stiffness on my right upper leg (unoperated hip). From MRI I was told that there are some fluid near the right hip joint and was given a cortisone injection. It lasts only a few days then the pain came back. This was done in Holland 6 months ago. I am now in Bangkok for 15 days and would like to be checked or get second opinion. I have searched: Bamrungrad seemed to have a lot of doctors in this field - so many, it's difficult to find out which one. Most of the orthopedic doctors there are from Siriraj not so much from Chula? I wonder if the new Siriraj will be a good option. A friend told me of dr. Suraphol Kesprayura at Camillian hospital. Does anybody have experience with him. I have CD of the MRI and medical papers with me.

Please help with any information, any advice or tips.

Thank you so much in advance for your time,

Rujira
