How Did They Get My Passport Copy?

[55Jay]

What false name did you give them?  Mr. Yakimoto, by chance?

It was obviously the alien mother-ship that passed on the passport information, just after the probing and inserting the tracker chip. A simple tin foil hat could have protected the OPs passport and data.

Yes, the hospital has a whole department dedicated to finding out peoples real identity after they give a fake name and no ID. I imagine if the guy used his friends phone to call the hospital then the friends passport would be in the file.

More than likely yes...in Thailand "friends" in various places can often access information even where that information shouldn't be available.
They could also have a "friend" at immigration that most certainly would have a record of "John Doe's" face.
Then there are the Neighbours and Taxi drivers on every corner ....Dta Saparot Pineapple has many eyes.

Why would someone go to the hospital and give a false name ?

 

You must not be American. 

 

I'd seriously consider paying cash and giving a false name to keep the record of whatever (now pre-existing) condition I was presenting for.  Otherwise, the American insurance companies will see that I checked into a Thai hospital to have a wart removed from my nose and deny coverage for anything that happens above my nipples- because it was a pre-existing condition. 

 

And yes, I am using hyperbole.  But not too much.

i did not give my real name cause i was sure indeed that i will have to show my passport later,

but they never asked for my passport cause...i paid cash !!

got the point ? 

but i am not the problem here.

the problem here is - how did they get my passport photo copy???

Did they take any relevant medical history like age, weight, allergies, pre existing conditions, emergency contact or they just went ahead and operated, because you paid cash. Did they get that information from the phone company ?

Or they could just ask for the OPs passport, which he supplied then forgot.

Well mate somebody gave them your passport or a copy.

It maybe your lady did it without your knowledge.

No op would be done without a copy of your id, as a farang it would be your passport.

Now before you or the usual riffraff that post sad on my posts starts telling me i am wrong, my wife gave Khonkaen hospital my passport, which they copied, before they would operate on me.

That was over 4 years ago, but my last hospital visit 2 weeks ago, they wanted my passport again.

Or they went through the op's belongings while he was in surgery, found his passport and made a copy

 This guy is hilarious. You got the wrong op mate, you should have gone for a frontal lobotomy.

 

Good troll topic.

ONCE i aggreed to the operation, they did all kinds of exams on me, even HIV test, which i did not mind cause i am in good health. but one thing they never asked is my passport. believe it or not, but that's how it went - they never asked and never saw my passport. had they asked for it, i would show it. but they did not ask for my passport.

 

and than, i did saw a photo copy of my front passport page in my file, in the doctor hands.

 

now why would i lie about it? is it funny? is it exotic?

no, just interesting case that shows how our privacy is not protected.

Why don't you ask the Hospital?

i am not talking about my face photo, which , as you can see for yourself, is not something to write home about.

i am talking about PHOTO COPY OF MY PASSPORT - i never gave them my passport and than i still saw

a photo copy of my first passport page in my file.

 

I think you went to surgery drunk and don't remember giving them passport.

[sanemax]

You couldnt find your passport .

You had a lump that you needed removing .

The hospital removed the lump and the lump was your passport .

Thats how they got your passport

You should let them check you for Alzheimer

Maybe the operation was for amnesia?

point is, they got your passport photo copy - and from this they would have know that the name you gave them was fake !!! amazing !!

 

You wanted to play silly buggers with the hospital and they obliged you and chose not to point out what a silly bugger you were being.

 

I would give up while you're ahead.

[TheFishman1]

Well after reading your post can you spare some of the stuff your smoking. Saying that I never seen a hospital here that will register you with some form of ID . Maybe you forgot giving it to them once before

I got bitten by dog inside Thai disco pub, went to doctor he asked me my name and address which was Kan guest house, I was travelling so he gave me  medical ID card to get more shots when due, no passport of  drivers license asked for or required .   taadaa.

Keep up mate, the OP had an operation, passport id is required here before a farang can be operated on.

You did not have an operation, so totally different scenario.

well, i had the operation and i did not show my passport and the hospital did not ask me

for my passport.

i remember it very well cause i was thinking , strange, they never asked me for my passport.

i don't think it is so strange. hospitals care most about your form of payment, especially if you are a foreigner.

needless to mention that it was a private hospital and i paid cash .

 

i am not sure why people sound angry here. call me a liar or amnesia. some hospitals will ask you

for your passport and some will not.

 

anyway, this is not the point i tried to make here. the point is that one private organisation / corporation got my passport

photo copy, without me giving it to him.

They didn't ask you because they already had a copy. You have seen it on file. Makes sense to me.
