mania

Yes my wife got hers in just a couple days via EMS. Also you can make an appointment online which makes the whole process very quick & painless If someone was in a bigger rush you can get it same day if you apply in Bangkok & pay more

Ah yes I can see it now.....Kor Tort but we want to let you know this is a External & Internal massage technique Hard to believe they think this will fly at all ever. Add to that the deleted CCTV & Thailand Tourism Board has yet another glowing review for the perspective future of tourism to Thailand

Well it is only you that is claiming I said all 17k ,,,Instead what I actually said is one recommended it & the other said it was silly So no not all cardiologist but in my case 50% did such... so there is that logic ???? IN MY CASE You have already been given links but https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/heart-stent.html

No actually...Sorry if my description lead you to believe it was that type of "specialty sport clinic" It was in fact the largest Hospital in the State. Not some "commercial establishment known for that sort of thing" In their cardiology department they have "Sports Cardiology program" that looks at cardio problems in athletes. The main cardiologist at the hospital thought I was a good candidate for the program due to my history in sports. That aside I never said all or most doctors I said sorry in my experience "Doctors will & do often push tests & procedures that are not needed both in Thailand & the USA " I have actual experiences in both countries of doctors pushing unnecessary procedures/operations. The Doctor & Kidney specialist at what is probably the largest hospital chain in Thailand did just that. Thankfully I flew back to the USA where they laughed at the idea of that operation & 8 years later I am still problem free As for Stenting in general even the AARP has said as much "doctors assumed that stents would help with other blockages due to heart disease. " But "But that thinking was turned on its head in 2007, when a study in the New England Journal of Medicine of over 2,000 people with heart disease found that those who had a stent implanted as a preventive measure had similar rates of heart attack and death as those who just took medication." https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/heart-stent.html In any case ...again I am only relaying my own experiences not theories But it seems quite disingenuous to claim these things do not happen at "real" doctors offices/hospitals Anyway that is all I have to say on this subject & sorry to the OP for any distraction I repeat my original reply that I think it important for him to get a second opinion & not inform the second tester of anything the first claimed

Well actually it is true that most do have occluded arteries & there are articles showing even in young healthy men/soldiers as I mentioned As for you saying doctors will not even do a angiogram unless clear indications for it again in my experience not true. Although here in the USA My experience last August....I am a fit athletic 66 year old. Cycle 8-10k miles a year. Low BP. low Cholesterol..Have had psvt or pvc's & pac's for over 20 years but recently had a long run of pvc & pac . So went to a Heart specialist with a sports cardio clinic. Had me do a 16 min stress test at very high output 165BPM on cycle with echo's following Showed heart was excellent structurally Then said well just to be sure I would like to either do a angiogram or a CTA scan with dye I asked which would he choose if it were his choice. He said the Angio because that way if he see's anything he can just stent it I chose the CTA but later changed my mind as my father lost his kidneys to CTA dye Went to another cardiologist that could not believe the previous cardio ran me on that stress test at those outputs for that amount of time. He said there is no way I needed a angio Instead I have requested a Calcium score just to check later this week which is almost a year later I know it is not the same but can at least give me a indication. If bad I will go from there While I would like to believe no doctor is business driven I am sorry to say in my life I have found different This is no slight against you as I know your in the medical profession & often I appreciate reading your responses here. But yes in my case I have not found what you said above to be true. Doctors will & do often push tests & procedures that are no needed both in Thailand & the USA

Yes of course & most like you would hopefully have improved your diet & lifestyle .......after you already had 2 previous stents ???? But what I was saying was directed at probably who you were before your two stents

Well yes but truthfully your in a vulnerable state mentally during that procedure laying there & like you did ....I would guess the majority at that point do not decide but instead agree with what ever the doctor states is "their" pref. My guess is no western adult in their 60's could go for a angio & not have a doctor say Oh yes a stent would help because that is quite likely I believe it was Dr Pritikin that did autopsy/tests 19-21 year old dead American Soldiers during the Vietnam war & found a large amount had their main arteries occluded by large numbers due to our cheeseburger diets & what else we were raised on in those years ???? But lastly it seems some believe Stenting is overused in many countries https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/heart-stent.html

Yes but...I'm 99% sure with you having lived here 6 years but joined this forum 13 hours ago this is just a windup That aside if what you say above is true you would have no problems at all starting a relationship with a intelligent Thai woman. Because if you can speak/read/write Thai you can approach anyone you see that you think might be a nice try. Someone working or shopping you see & strike up a conversation etc etc etc It is not rocket science & has not changed in centuries

See this is the thing he may want to avoid on "their" word alone Seek another opinion via a CT angio scan with dye perhaps to get a more solid assessment before allowing a angio with them deciding then to stent or not. Maybe even just go get a simple CT Calcium score test & look at that as a precursor. Of course not as accurate as a CTA with dye but very non invasive & inexpensive place to start. Bangkok Hospital had a cardiac test package for like 4000 baht that included the CT Calcium score test & more This is Thailand & a second opinion is a good idea. Lastly does he have any actual symptoms other than a bad stress test? Chest Pain etc? Because so many overweight out of shape men have problems with a stress test as they do zero daily exercise. That does not guarantee blockages Good Luck to him though but again this is Thailand do not assume they do not prescribe unnecessary procedures they do. I have first hand experience with it (although kidney not heart related) & flew back to the USA to find their diagnosis was just that....wrong & prescribing an unnecessary operation PS: Bangkok Hospital does list some price ranges for angiograms stents ablations etc https://www.bangkokhearthospital.com/en/package/coronary-intervention-packages

Glad to hear that! But also as I said it is actually a smaller percentage of the problem (farmers burning) They need to stop those burning whole mountainsides to clear ????

For sure this is "part" of the problem but truthfully it is not likely the biggest part Look at what burns during burn season. Much or most of it not even from crop waste. But mainly Thai's use burning for everything from getting rid of trash to clearing underbrush on whole mountains. BTW: finding a cash use for framers husks/crop waste would be good incentive to bundle it. If govt bought it & used as a fuel to produce electricity same as Hawaii did for years with sugar cane waste. But then again that is just another type of burning

This is why back around the "Yes We can" days I decided this would be my political party from now on Or at least until "none of the Above" is added to voting Ballots

555 & they say romance is dead

Beware this "business investments" is the excuse they used to overthrow Hawaii's Monarchy (Although it was Hawaii's fault for allowing Falangs/Haoles to own business in Hawaii) That aside Run Thailand Run! Be the Switzerland of Asia meaning a neutral country... Never allow USA nor China to tell you to bend over & spell RUN ????

555 yeah I doubt anything shocks tourists in Pattaya ????

Sounds great & trust me I wish it were true but.... As nice as it sounds to Water the Tree of Liberty with the Blood of Patriots... It is NOT the Thai way Thailand has had 13 successful and nine unsuccessful coups in just over a century. The most recent being in 2014. If the people you describe existed.... You would think someone... anyone.... even a single sniper? would have done something by now? NO It is not the Thai way Thai's are ingrained from birth to kowtow to uppers. Whether that be police,teachers, military, wealthy you name it they bow This is why it will be a loooong road out of this type of thinking. It will be a generation or two of youths stepping up to the plate Current Thai's will not stand in revolution & the history is there for all to see. Neither will a country ever step in to save them if they did. Same as Myanmar Thailand has nothing anyone really wants It is not Libya

Maybe...maybe not depends on who/what in the end runs the show. Remember Move Forward and Pheu Thai are nearly identical in votes/seats I think this is all as usual very suspect timing & I smell a rat. Top it off with the oh so coincidental promise of return next month by Thaksin Shinawatra figurehead of Pheu Thai ... just to raise grandkids of course ???? (which in itself smells more & more like a deal made) Remember too Pheu Thai did not promise a new minimum wage of ฿450 within 100 days of the new government taking up office. Nor does it stir any Les Majeste law overturns or Military reductions of power In the end this is looking more & more like SOP Thailand to me The BS 250 know they do not want Move Forward/Pita & they know they cannot go as far as putting Prayuth back in so this Pheu Thai may be the devil they know they can control as part of a deal + be accepted by a large portion of the Thai population Anyway my crystal ball could be wrong but I have watched long enough to have a hunch ????

That would be the case if it were a house but not the case if it is condo registered in the Foreigner owned 49 percentile of the building If it were part of the 51% Thai owned section of the building then maybe as you said, but the OP did not say he was Thai nor the condo was part of that 51% Thai section

The easiest places to open accounts are always the banks in malls or part of the shopping complex's like Big C etc Try one that has a Bangkok Bank, SCB or Krungsri (bank of Ayudhya)

Yes but as Crossy has shown it does not work with "Other" banks accounts/cards to initiate the deposit What the BKB site is saying is.... it is possible to deposit cash to any bank but they must mean when using their BKB card/account to send or deposit money to other accounts/banks

Good question But I do not know....I would think since you can draw cash using a SCB "chipped" card you could deposit But give it a shot I do not think it will eat the cash if not allowed ????

Jeez for a phone? End your life? Ive raised kids & seen tantrums but none came close
