It's out of control down there. Cancel their visas and begin deportation.

That is a matter of opinion ...not fact. I do not think that a bit of swearing and a kick should result in a person's life being torn apart. I feel the punishment should fit the crime. 

Get real. She kicked an 8 month pregnant woman in the abdominal area. Cancel her visa and deport her ASAP!

Thinking about this, if I had just killed someone, I'd go to Sweden or some other Scandinavian country. I saw a movie in 1978 called Midnight Express about an American banged cop in a Turkish jail. I still have nightmares about it. Scandinavian jails are supposedly quite nice. 

Better watch it again. He wasn't a  cop.

You must be right because he has only been doing this for about 7 years.

Actually I think much more than 7 years by now?

Pet Mart has locations all over. They have good stock of cat foods and suplies. You can get a discount card there.

Another good pet shop with good stock of cat foods and has even better prices than Pet Mart is on the Doi Saket Road (actually Kaew Narawat), if you make the u-turn just before the Super Highway and look to your left, you will see a large pet shop. Not Namping, their prices are not so good, but just 200 meters or so before it. I just can't think of the name. They have discount cards too.

I've always found that for expensive cat foods like Royal Canin, that the best prices are on Shopee or Lazada

What's with all the British pedos in the news? If you can't behave and respect the laws....don't come. Or, go to prison.

The combination pill is in fact available here, but only in Bangkok.

The story is getting more and more confusing... Thai woman married a Swiss man. Swiss man died and her inheritage is 13 million THB. She met a new Swiss man.. they are coming to Thailand. Swiss man likes to go to Pattaya, Thai wife doesn't want it because he will look to other women and/or has a mistress... Thai wife like to gambling, but Swiss husband murders her and put fo black magic a playcard in her throat..

I assume Swiss man is not stupid and will know that murder is being punished.. Why not flee the country after he did it?

Many titles policeman will get an upgrade because he solved the case, but are the facts as they announce reality? Is the Swiss man not a victim or a scapegoat?? Family of the Thai wife liked him, but maybe liked the money of the Thai wife more and they complotted to get her money and blame the Swiss man.. 

Are you for real? He c o n f e s s e d!

Why do people continue to wear gold in any Thai areas....?

What an odd comment. Even really poor Thai people wear gold.

Great News for you!…

Are you considering a focal therapy for your PIRADS 3 Lesion?…
Please do get back with the cost as I am on the same path as you…

Thanks

No, I don't have prostate cancer. I had prostatitis at the time of the MRI. But that has been treated.

Curious…

What was the cost?

Did it include a review and opinion by a MRI diagnostic oncologist?

Were you able to identify a specific lesion or an area with high level prostate cancer?

Did you have a traditional biopsy before or are you using this for a targeted biopsy?

Do you have a urologist specialist doctor that will accept and review this third party MRI?

 

I'll have to look for the bill, but it was cheaper than the Tesla 1.5 MRI at Suan Dok (>5 years ago)

The only review (radiology report) included was by a Radiologist from the CMU Faculty of Medicine

The Radiologist upgraded me from PIRAD-4 (old Tesla 1.5) to PIRAD-3 which was a big relief

I've had two biopsies in the past; 6 and 10 years ago. Both negative for cancer. This new Tesla 3 technology can be used for an MRI guided biopsy, but in my case, turned out to not be necessary

If the MRI is taken at the new Sriphat Imaging Center, then all urologists within the CMU Faculty of Medicine, both public and private wings will accept the MRI. They will not entertain MRI's taken outside of the CMU network

Can you give the name of the doctor you initially consulted at CMU that arranged the Multi Parametric MRI for you?

I booked it myself. Nobody arranged it for me.

Last I heard, the o nly government hospitals in Thailand doing this were Siriraj (the first and probably the best for this), Chulalongkorn and maybe (not 100% sure) Chulabhorn. None outside Bangkok.

 

Among private hospitals, also AFAIK limited to Bangkok.

 

I would also mention that there is better expertise for management in Bangkok if the MRI suggests  malignancy.  And that urologists not trained in it would have difficulty using multi-parametric MRI results.

 

 

 

Hi Sheryl,

At CMU (Sriphat) there is a new imaging center that offers Tesla 3 multi-parametric MRI scans. I had one of my prostate in February of 2023.

Yes, they do. But, you have to tell the dispatcher that you need life support and they will send an ambulance from a well-funded Foundation that has all of the equipment and a team of well-trained EMT's. I did this recently for someone and told the dispatcher that the patient could not breath well and that the main gate was locked and that only a small access gate was open. I spoke with them in Thai. They sent an expensive, well stocked, well-equipped ambulance with 3 guys who were all very well-trained. They checked for blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen, administered an IV and oxygen, and called the hospital that we requested and notified the ER that they were on the way.

I should point out that on both occasions that I needed to call an ambulance (1669) for a friend, that they came urgently (patient could not breathe very well and needed oxygen), but they could not locate his house even after 2 or 3 back and forth telephone calls with directions. I had to meet them in front of a nearby temple and they followed me to my friend's house. There was no charge to take my friend to Rajavej (and Suan Dok  the other time), but they suggested a donation to their Foundations to cover the cost of oxygen and medical supplies (1,000 Baht). They gave me cards with all of the information to contact and pay them.

The op said he was calling for a friend.

As far as I know the Thai ambulances don't have equipment to deal with heart attacks.

LOL 1669

The medical emergency number for Thailand is 1669, unless your friend wants to be taken to a specific hospital, in which case you should look up the hospital's emergency number and store it in their phone for them before it is needed.  If your friend does call a hospital in Chiang Mai city though, they will likely have to wait for the ambulance to come from there, rather than getting a local one.  In my experience, calling 1669 will ensure the nearest ambulance is dispatched, but it will take them to a public hospital - which I don't really have a problem with in an emergency, but some may.

 

 

They will take you to a private hospital too. Anywhere you want to go, they will take you. They rely on donations to their Foundation of which there are many. If you wish to make a 500-1000 Baht donation, they will give you a card with all of the info.

Been less busy post-covid.  The clinic was closed for a long time during the pandemic.  I've visited a couple of times since they re-opened & not so long a wait in the morning.

He's only open a couple of hours a day now. Best to call and ask the hours before visiting. He's close to retirement. I gave a friend a lift there recently.

You could go to Sriphat and consult one there. I don't have a personal recommendation but you can research the surgeons https://sriphat.med.cmu.ac.th/en/service/detail/2
