Compare that to a western medical clinic. Not only your credentials as a doctor are examined on a yearly basis, they even come by to check your facilities, staff, and licenses.

 

But in the medical hub called Thailand everybody can open a clinic and perform any kind of medical procedure in unhygenic rooms. Nobody bother to check anything, that is, until things go wrong and they stumble over eachother to point out what was wrong.

Nothing like this would ever happen in a western clinic...

In a land with so many government employees and officials, its amazing how little people are held accountable for basic adherence to the laws and regulations.

There are also car crashes in every country, that doesnt make the Thai driving style and lack of policing okay.

"Nobody bother to check anything", even it was checked, as a medical degree can be bought.

Nothing says "quack" quite like leopard print with black sleeves...

There was an awful case like this many years ago, before TVF I think, in Pattaya. Unlicensed quack doing breast implants using water-filled condoms almost killed a katooey. 

I think this should at least garner a 1000 baht fine!  Nah, they will let him go after a 500 baht fine!

Today's press reported that the self-styled doctor had admitted to all the charges and said that he had performed over 1200 surgical procedures without problems or complaint......

Breast implant on a 22 year old boy ? Crazy !

Recently, an 18-year-old Chinese female here in Toronto, who called herself "Doctor" Kitty, was charged with conducting illegal surgery which was performed in the basement of where she lived.  Why people went to her for these procedures is yet unknown.  Apparently, she had been performing them for some time but the media did not state the types of surgery being done.  Therefore, I suggest that people who constantly criticise what happens in Thailand without knowing what goes on outside of Thailand should look before leaping.

Anything and everything is possible in this country. How the hell on earth a normal person does what a surgeon should be doing?
