Outpatient costs - Bangkok Hospital

[Bill97]

 
The pretty nurses at Bangkok Hospital shut down the cardiac treadmill after just 4 miles and told him to get off.  W-h-a-t? 

4 miles is a LONG time on that machine, even if running at world record pace

Your story is not believable Nancy

I corrected myself in saying 4 minutes, not 4 miles.

I respectfully disagree with that statement. They are fine for very simple procedures, but anything too complicated they can't handle. Also, not a place to go for an emergency. Often the E.R. doctors are only a few months out of medical school! I showed up there late one night with a severe eye injury, in excruciating pain, and the kid in the E.R. told me that he had never treated an eye injury before and couldn't handle it!!! Rajavej has a few well-known and well-respected doctors who practice there regularly.

Everyone to there own

No hospital is perfect

I have had a major stuff up at the Chiang Mai Ram Hospital

They admitted they were wrong so it cost them money

I'll second that. I've had full physical check ups at several CM hospitals over the years and Bangkok Hospital was by far the most complete and efficient. But I also agree with your observation that they will use the results of the test to push you to see various specialists even when they may not be really required. I think they use the check-up as a sort of loss leader. That said, it is entirely up to you whether or not you follow up with the specialists.

 

Not sure how the costs compare as I get all my annual check-ups free (courtesy of my bank) and never asked about the prices.

How does that work with your bank covering checkup costs?

I had a minor operation at BH earlier this year and was very happy with everything there.

 

The initial estimated cost was 13,000 to 15,000 baht and the bill came in at 13,000 baht.

 

The operation was carried out on time, everything went like clockwork.

 

The follow up wound examination was also included in that cost which surprised me, i was expecting an additional charge.

 

All communication was made via "Messenger" with prompt replies every time.
