Colonoscopy

[Flow]

Cheap but good, where?

Had previously done an endoscopy at Ramatibodi hospital but the Dr didn't make me get to sleep, just made a little bit drowsy with some meds plus he left a wound in my mouth that took 2 weeks to heal. 

Anyone know of a good but inexpensive hospital that does a Colonoscopy right? (just did an endoscopy - so no need for another one)

Thanks.

A colonoscopy is an endoscopy, it is an endoscopy of the colon. I suspect what you mean is that you just had a gastroscopy.

 

The least expensive option for this is a government hospital. Try the Cancer hospital (Chulabhorn), I believe it costs around 6 K there.

54 Kamphaengphet 6 Road, Bangkhen

(it would be the oncology medical center)

Thanks Sheryl.

 

But I had such a negative experience with Ramatibodi gov hospital where the Dr. seemed overworked, uninterested and left bruises in my mouth doing the gastroscopy. As if he just shoved it just in with his eyes closed. He did not make me sleep either, rather made me drowsy with some meds through an injection. My throat was left bruised for 2 weeks, may be more.

 

Any private hospitals that aint as expensive as Bumrungrad. Had my last one done there, it was a good experience, but with the extra it cost me over 50k

 

Thanks

Its going to be at least 25K at any private hospital. More if they need to send multiple specimens for biopsy.

 

Is this being done because of a specific problem? If so then I suggest yo usee Prof. Chucheep at Bangkok Christian Hospital. (Yiou will have to have a consultation first to get a colonoscopy ordered). I am nto sure the cost there but it will be less than Bumrungrad.

I had a colonoscopy at Vichaiyut Hospital (private) with Dr Sutep Gonlachanvit in December for ฿16,000

Be careful where you get a Colonoscopy.

Being nervous, and embarrassed about my up-coming colonoscopy, on a recommendation, I decided to have it done while visiting friends in San Francisco , where the beautiful nurses are allegedly more gentle and accommodating.

As I lay naked on my side on the table, the gorgeous nurse began my procedure...

"Don't worry, at this stage of the procedure it's quite normal to get an erection," the nurse told me.

"I don't have an erection," I replied.

"I do." replied the nurse.

Don't get a colonoscopy in San Francisco. ?
