I am back after 9 days out of action, in Khonkaen hospital.

I am always attacking the police/officials here, but only praise for hospital staff.

Been out of action with a bacterial infection in my left foot (toes turned black),

After some extremely good care i got home last night, (very happy).

So all you folk who speak about poor care/dirty conditions in government hospitals take note.

 I received excellent care in a very clean private room.

Welcome back.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

I take it you're not back tap-dancing yet

I have visited a friend in Khonkaen hospital and was impressed. It is a lot better than Buriram's government hospital (staff are good but it is overcrowded and dirty)..

 

Black toes that sounds a bit worrying, glad your OK now.

well, good for You, they cut my <deleted> wide open and then didnt want to fix it

Hope it wasn't those new shoes I bought you that caused it.........

 

 

..... and, no, didn't miss you - but did notice that it was quieter.............. Bobby will be pleased you are back, he has had no one to moan to...

Good,welcome back.

 

I used to get those damned infections on my stump.What was left of the leg turned black at one stage-scary stuff.

 

Glad you made it.

Happy to hear that a POTY contestant has recovered, mind you, anyone that is still standing after the annual campaign is made of stern stuff!

I have always had good luck with medical care in LOS. I can't afford it in America.

I thought it was a bit quiet, couldn't put my finger on why 

 

Glad you're on the mend, these bacterial infections with bits turning odd colours can get nasty even if you're not wheelchair bound.

 

Take care.

I am sure many people have had only positive experiences with police/officials and a negative experience with health staff. Many health staff are actually officials also so it is a bit contradictory. 

 

Anyway, the point is obviously don't judge everyone on a few limited experiences. 

Move on. 

Rest up. 

I had noticed you were kinda quiet but had put it down to you being a POTY bad loser !! ( only joking of course ).

Glad to hear you are good again .

Miss you, I didn't even know you had gone. ?

 

I'm out cycling and running in the jungle, get skin infections 3-4 times a year from superficial cuts and grazes.

Last graze on my shoulder was going septic and oozing for 4 months and 2 courses of antibiotics.

 

Thailand is a nasty place for bacterial infections.

Glad to hear you're recovering.

Sheryl i was in the government hospital on Srican road, went to Banphai hospital and was transferred by ambulance to srican road.

My wife asked them to take me to srinacarind but they took me to srican road.

Got excellent care, only 1 night on a public ward, then got a private room.

Now home but confined to bed, a nurse will be visiting to monitor my progress, if ok no problem, if not back to hospital.

Welcome back Colin!

I live in khon kaen and the hospital had a terrible reputation for cleanliness. I recommend nobody go to this hospital, unless you have no money. Even then Sri Nakarin is much better.

Why did you choose this place?

YOU ARE TALKING NONSENSE, the room i was in was perfectly clean.

Have you any personal experience staying in that hospital?

Answer probably not, just spouting nonsense for the sake of it.

To answer your question, i did not choice to go there, if you took time to read my previous posts in this thread you would not need to ask the question.

No i am not fluent in Thai, but no problem as every doctor speaks English, also more than 90% of the nurses speak English, When i spent 7 months in there 4 years ago just the same no problem being understood, using my limited Thai and English.

I have lived in kk, very near the hospital for many years and been there often as it is the one on my social security, usually for dental stuff but also had an endoscopy. When I go, I make sure I know the doctors, who also work at the private hospitals. I know many doctors in kk.

I don't mean if it looks clean but on a micro biological level. You obviously don't watch the local news. There have been many outbreaks of bacterial infections, gram negative I think, in recent years. So don't be so negative, disrespectful and rude.

I have personal experience with this hospital ,not just spouting nonsense, scare mongering just for the sake of it.

Been there done that, and i only have praise for the staff doing a difficult job. 

You think i am being rude because i speak the truthม grow up.

Are you on medication?

Do you watch the local kk news?

It's common knowledge about this hospital. 

Get well soon Colin.

You are always in good spirit when I call you.

Miss You? TV would never be the same without you.

Yep, I've been in government hospital, everyone at doctor level spoke good enough English.

Nurses not so much, but it's not as if you really need to speak with anyone.

It is kind of important if you don't want the wrong leg to be amputated.
